Atem has let Yuugi know that he will be away for the day and in case something happens he can contact him via phone. He’d shared part of the story with his partner and only with him so far. He hadn’t gotten a chance to let his other friends know yet. But for now, it’s probably better to keep just one person in the know. The others can learn through Yuugi anyway.

This might just be a casual meeting for the pharaoh, although deep down there’s this strange sensation that he doesn’t know what it is. Perhaps light nervousness for what’s to come, the unknown. But that’s normal.

The ex-monarch lifts his gaze in mild surprise when the name ‘Seth’ is voiced. Right, they were supposed to meet eventually. And the second the man comes to view, Atem falls still in his position. Appearance-wise, the man looks like the spitting image of the Seth he once knew. But that is probably about it. Right…? Atem wouldn’t expect something more. Like how things are with Kisara.

“I am Atem,” he decides to respond to the question himself. “Pleased to meet you, Seth.” There's a little smile on his face to hopefully ease some of the tension.

       He’s used to patrol the skies and encounter other monsters on the go. While his primary habitat is the castle he, Mana, and the rest of the magicians reside in, the wizard takes occasional breaks from mentoring the new apprentices. He goes on a flight around the territory at regular intervals to ensure there are no inconveniences happening without him knowing. Perhaps a habit since he used to be main security when he was one of the six Sacred Guardians who served the Pharaoh.

       However, he would never have expected that this ‘inconvenience’ that he will run into will be his problem to deal with. That shiver-inducing roar cause his eyes to grow wide as he becomes alert. The next thing he knows a huge luminous light is going at super speed in his direction. His fight or flight instincts immediately kick in and his first intuition is to dodge the deadly beam of light before he becomes dust particles. His heart rate becomes irregular and he could almost feel the lightning streaks dashing across the tips of his hair. 

       The magician displays his displeasure with a groan and his eyes cast into a smoldering glare. He lifts his staff and with a couple of fluid spinning motions he aims it at the dragon. He is aware his power isn’t enough to defeat it but he could at least do some damage. Magis builds up in the glowing orb at the end of the staff. The first few seconds it’s perfectly aimed at those sharp jaws but he repositions it so his attack is launched at the dragon’s wing instead.

Keith nodded approvingly.

“That’s cool as fuck. What kinda shit’d you do for a living?” Mentions of “old bosses” along with the knife-throwing had him intrigued- the woman didn’t seem the type to hang around the same underworlds he used to, but maybe looks could be deceiving.

“Yeah I got-- Hang on.” He fumbled around searching for which pocket had the answer to her question, finally finding the stiletto in an interior vest pocket. Both a party trick and a knife- he popped the blade out, twirled it a few times between his fingers, then closed it again one handed, ending the routine with a small jazz hands gesture. 

“Ta-da.”

“ We haven’t, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen you around before, right? I mean, if I haven’t, then at least you look kind of familiar. ” Either way though, Zack would still stick out a hand a moment later; anything to offer the other a friendly handshake as a greeting paired with a smile!

“ Heya, the name’s Zack. You weren’t showing up here hoping to meet someone else though, were you? ” Because in his defense, this was Sera’s usual hangout spot -- not really his.

For a moment, Sera couldn’t help but to let her lips curl down into a pout. Riley had a point; there were likely few who would call her out on her ears or her tail, even if they moved on their own, but... But that wasn’t what mattered! How was she supposed to explain them? Or- Or even explain how and why they were there?! How did she tell anyone she’d gotten spooked by the sound of a car horn and it’d caused them to poof into existence again!?

“What... W-What if people a-ask?” The question probably sounded more panicked than it needed to, but in the goddess’s defense, she’d never before thought of showing her ears and tail off to anyone aside from her closest companions. Nobody but her partner had even touched them before - What if nothing went over well? “I’ve never been out w-without my hat like this...”

Never mind she couldn’t hide the tail. That’d slipped her mind completely in her more than pathetic stare Riley’s way!

Another familiar voice, but not the one he was looking for. Yet a welcomed one nothingness.

“Other me--” he said on instinct.

He then laughs, it seems ironic that after spending so much time moving past Atem’s departure that he takes this so much easier.

“Not quite. I’m not exactly who you’re thinking of. Just passing through... but it’s good to hear your voice. So this is where you moved on to. Are you well?”

“Oh, I know that very well. You’re not fooling anyone here... Okay, you almost got me upon first glance from the distance.” Atem promptly responded, his words might have come off harsh but the tone used was a cheerful- friendly one. The pharaoh even had a grin on his face, which was a starkly contrast from Mahad- who stood by in an evident protective manner.

“I know my partner would never be able to make it to this realm... That’s impossible for him, in any sense of the word. So, consider me intrigued and curious. Do you mind staying for a talk? I only wish to understand, what’s happening around here...” Atem maintained the same tone in his voice, it didn’t seem like there was anger or anything like that with him.

“I’m sensing a disturbance in the air... And you seem to be the source of it.”

It’s not that Rosenkreuz had an issue with canines, no not at all, he quite liked hunting with them. But canines that appeared seemingly out of nowhere and was bigger and weirder than any dog the knight had ever seen before?

That was enough to make him jump.

“I’m--no, I’m not familiar. Pardon, this is common in your homeland?”

The creature was staring at him, and Rose couldn’t tell if that was a friendly stare or not.

“How can you even keep a creature like this fed? It could probably eat a deer all by itself, bones and all.”

“It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest, if he did that. Thankfully, that really isn’t something I need to worry about.”

Set responded to his friend in a calm tone, which was a stark contrast to the other. He wasn’t surprised at all by the way Rose reacted to his ka, if anything- he found it to be a tad humurous in a way. His hands kept patting the large pitch black beast, as it stood still by its master’s side.

“It’s alright, he won’t attack you... He’s quite obedient. After all, this is a part of my essence. This is a ka, and you may call this one by Sha.”

“I’m not doubting that, Mr. Hero of Link VRAINS. Buuuuut--a little extra help can’t hurt, right?” she prompted with a small smirk.

It soon fell, however. If Playmaker was logged in, that meant he had a purpose, and an important one at that. Which meant there could possibly be some extra things to nab along the way.

“What are you logged in for this time? Trying to track down someone or something down this time?” @pledgedsouls​

A sigh left his lips, even though Playmaker tried to keep any and all emotions out of his face. Hero of Link VRAINS. It was what he never had wanted to become, honestly. People just made him a hero because he had been saving link vrains along the way while honestly... it just had been his own need for revenge he’d been running after the whole time... 

But soon enough the smirk from her face disappeared and Playmaker allowed himself to relax slightly, the tiniest bit at least until she spoke up again. Someone or something. Was it that obvious why he was around? At this point he tended to say yes himself. After all...he never had logged in for another reason, had he? 

For a moment he had to think of that empty flat of his. Of the lifeless form of Robobbi. The fact that Ai wasn’t around any longer to watch those silly soap operas. His partner had been gone ever since they had won against Bohman. Part of him had known that their team up had been temporary but still... 

On the other side he didn’t trust the other one enough to admit he was looking for his runaway Ignis. The other one had connections to SOL technologies after all and... no that were information that no one needed to know about. Not at all. 

“What makes you think I’m here for some kind of search?” he replied in the end, choice of words careful, because he didn’t even want to give her any hints about what or who he was looking for. “Aren’t you busy with your job though? Can’t a teenager just spend some time online?” 

A stupid question honestly, Playmaker knew that himself. But what else had he been supposed to say at that point?
