@riseofthephoenixfallofdestiny ★ starter call!

“Edo, you haven’t seen Yuuri anywhere around here, have you...? Or Yuugo or Yuuto?” Having been busy trying to deal with Yuzu, Yuuya had missed his chance to stick his nose into too much of the investigation. For some reason, Yuuya felt the need to keep close to his Fusion counterpart, but maybe talking with Edo could calm his nerves some.

At least he was a friendly face.

@riseofthephoenixfallofdestiny because WHEN DOESN’T AOI PESTER HER BOYFRIEND- <3

“Aster-?”

Slowly, smaller hands reached up for the silverette’s cheeks, green-blue blinking slowly at him. Funny, she’d thought when he came back from his last trip she’d jump at him for a hug, not be so cautious-

Only after she’d touched him, albeit barely, did she jump up and throw her arms around her boyfriend’s shoulders, giggling excitedly like her usual self. “Aster~! Y’ late, y’know? I thought y’ would b’ home an hour ago~!”

@riseofthephoenixfallofdestiny wanted a SHATTERED DIMENSIONS starter

    “I feel so NAKED without Icebringer and Soulreaper.” Well, he also didn’t have his normal armor but sure, pretend your swords made from another sword were clothing. Whatever floats your boat Lich.

【ϟ】 Manjoume didn’t care what Edo said—this bench was where he was sitting, complete with the armfuls of suitcases he’d been carrying for the Pro falling to the ground in the heap, too. He’d been hauling around that luggage all day; enough to where he felt like he deserved a rest at this point.

“...” He needed a time out. Just give him five minutes and he’d be back to suffering for Edo’s packed schedule.

@riseofthephoenixfallofdestiny continued from ✩

“I... can’t tell if you’re making fun of me or not,” Jaden laughed a bit, though the sound seemed to lack the level of humor it typically held. Instead, there was an almost uncomfortable edge to it as he returned to struggling with the tie, the only splash of red the current ensemble allowed. “This wasn’t my idea. There’s some event or something and they want the top duelists there. Something involving some visiting big-wigs in the pro-league? I dunno. I zoned out when Shepherd was explaining, but Syrus said I’d be stupid if I didn’t go and Crowler threatened me with a month’s detention if I don’t dress nice and behave myself... whatever that’s supposed to mean. Aren’t you going?”

Aster, when he learns Aoi lives to piss off Yuri

“Aster and Master Sartorius are friends, didn't you know?”

Aoi's eyes narrowed, skimming the crowds of students within the academy's hall. She was absolutely livid; how could he lie to her? How could he have tricked her for so long?

Why had she let him?

“It's because of him the society even had a chance to thrive here!”

For months, Aster had been lying to her. She'd lowered her guard and let him close to her, buried her suspicions of him and called him a friend. She'd let him into her life, and in turn, believed him when he'd said he was just at the academy to 'scope out' the future competition as a pros. That he could use the refresher courses and enrolled as a student. He'd portrayed himself as a typical kid and even shown her a side of himself even he claimed he didn't realize existed, and she'd drank it up.

But it'd all been a lie.

She'd been caught by a society member and egged into a duel, with the condition she'd join them if she lost. But Sartorius's society had turned cocky with the 'popularity', which meant her victory had come a bit easier than she'd thought it would. And with it was one last-ditch attempt to break her: Her opponent declaring Aster Phoenix was on their side. A man she'd thought would help her, that was on the sane side, had been a liar right along and used her.

Aoi bit back a growl, turning down a less populated hallway. It was impossible to not believe what she'd been told; everything meshed far too well. He'd come to the academy right before Sartorius had, focused his everything on Jaden. Always vanished and never explained himself, or showed up out of the blue with just 'taking a walk' as his excuse. Held so much back she couldn't quite completely stop herself from being suspicious. She'd even seen the two of them together before, but held such trust in him and his lies she hadn't thought anything of it.

And the moment she laid her eyes on that familiar white suit and silver hair, she was down the hall like a bullet. He'd used her- He'd betrayed her trust and she-

THWAP!

“How dare you,” Aoi hissed, hand still raised and stinging from the sharp slap across the pro's face. “How dare you- You lied t' me! How dare y' use me like that?! You've been here th' whole time as a Society member- You liar!” Oh, how she wished she could throttle him right there – But at least a slap was a good start, hand already shifting for another.
