“ - ?!
Oh, wow! How did you get your hair like that? I’ve never seen a human with such a ‘hairstyle’, poyo!”
Whoa. What kind of creature was this? Yuugi blinked, so distracted that he about missed Kirby’s question.
“A-ah... Uh... It’s...inherit...ed...”
“What...are you?”
“That was painful.”
“Oh, yes. It was… probably the best joke I’ve heard all week and that is saying a lot considering my frat brothers swear they are comedic geniuses.”
he sighed, folding his arms over his chest.
“Very well. I will listen to another one of your bad puns jokes, but only if you use my real name. You ARE allowed to call me something other than Spirit, Pharaoh or Yami. I hate all of those names, especially the middle one.”
“... Sorry. I’m used to the others.”
Plus a part of him really couldn’t shed thinking of Atem as...well, part of him. The ‘other me’.
“R-right! Anyway, Atem--”
Still felt weird on his tongue.
“I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.
“G-get it? Then it hit me!”

Barbara smiled as he spoke up, he seemed really adorable and the stuttering made him seem kind of shy. The only other kid she’d dealt with recently was Damian, and he was not at all like this one. Then again, Damian might have been younger too. Kids were getting really hard to age. Great, now she sounded old.
Watching him solve the cube, she gave him a surprised face. She hadn’t known that many younger people able to do things like that. Honestly, she shouldn’t have been surprised since she’d been called a genius when she was growing up. Kids were just getting smarter, it seemed. There she was sounding old again and she was only twenty-one.
“Admittedly, I didn’t think you’d be able to solve that but that’s a really amazing skill you have there, you must be pretty smart.” She smiled, placing her coffee cup down on the table and listening to the rest of his story. Her smiled faded as he watched his fall and she listened with sympathy.
“They took things from me too, albeit not anything personally important to me luckily. I’m sorry they took it. But if it helps, I’ll help you get it back if I can. And don’t apologise, you didn’t ramble.” She gave the boy a reassuring smile, then put a hand out toward him. “It’s nice to meet you, Mutou Yuugi. I’m Barbara. Barbara Gordon. My friend’s call me Babs, though. And yep! Kidnapped, just like everyone else here.” Oops, not a light conversation there. Time to segue. “But, we just have to stick together and look out for each other, right? Do you have anyone here with you or are you alone?”
Oh, there’s the flattery! Yuugi hadn’t intended to show off, so he couldn’t help the flush that covered his cheeks as she gave him that remark about his intelligence, little butterflies fluttering within his stomach.
“A-aha... I’m not that smart... I-I just solved it wh-when I was younger, is all!”
Plus, he had a kind of determination that kept him at puzzles until he was absolutely sure he could not solve them -- which was pretty much never. Yuugi did not have intelligence, in his opinion; he had persistence and determination, which led to him trying as many combinations as he could manage until the solution came to him. He also happened to have a great memory.
He sobered up quickly as their discussion turned in favor of speaking of their present situation, and then she introduced herself, holding her hand out. Yuugi gently took it with a somewhat limp shake. “It’s nice to meet you, too, Barbara!” He wasn’t really...a friend of hers, just an acquaintance, so he figured she wouldn’t be comfortable with that nickname.
“Anyway... Yeah, I’m alone. I didn’t have anyone who I know of come with me. Not even...” He glanced at the Rubik’s cube within his hands. It’d be a bit too complicated to explain to her, wouldn’t it? “Let’s just say I had a roommate for a while, back where I come from.” That worked. “The object that they took from me... It reminded me of him. I wore it on a chain around my neck wherever I went.” He paused, with raised brows. “Why would the scientists confiscate something like that? Do you know?” She seemed like she’d been here long enough, given the way she spoke about the city.
“Ooooh, you are so saying it’s terrible, Spirit! Come on, it was a great joke! You just have bad taste...
“O-okay, okay, listen. I’ve got another one. Right? You’re listening, right?”

( ★ くコ:彡 ) Had she touched a nerve? Marie would only raise a brow at his outburst as she frowned. ❝You know that I didn’t mean it as an insult, right? I really did mistake you for a sea urchin. You kind of remind me of this one sea urchin that tends to hang out in an alley back home.❞
But she shook her head, her eyes narrowing slightly. ❝You’ve never seen an inkling, have you?❞
Marie’s mild reaction had Yuugi settling down, but not before he let out a sigh. “... Right. Sorry. I’ve...just been bombarded with comments about my hair lately.” Seriously, how hard was it for them to understand that it was completely natural?
He straightened and blinked at her latter comment. “N-no, I haven’t. What’s an inkling?”

@yyuugis liked for a starter!!
Light bathed the girl’s face as she leaned into the cabinet of a retro game in the arcade. She remembered coming to these type of arcades with her friend, Frankie. Admittedly, it was a bit lonely being by herself at one.
As the sound of an obvious lose played over the screen, Barbara turned, to-go coffee in hand. But as she saw what appeared to be a young boy with a Rubik’s cube, she felt her face contorting into one of concern. They actually brought regular kids there? Now that was just messed up, honestly.
The girl approached him with a soft smile and waved to get his attention. “So, what’s with the Rubik’s cube? Do you know how to solve it?”
Honestly, the only reason why Yuugi stopped here was because he needed shelter. He’d been wandering on his own throughout the city, having been given instructions to his housing but not finding any of his roommates, and he continued to stare in frustration at the Rubik’s cube that he held between his hands. Winding up within the arcade, he brought himself to a free table close to the cafe, and decided, to hell with it, he’d just go ahead and mess up and then re-solve the Rubik’s cube over and over for the time being as he thought about what he’d do -- how he was going to get food, how he was going to get his Millennium Puzzle back...
Before he fell completely into that thought, a woman’s voice caught his attention and he raised his head, blinking in surprise as he saw her. He gestured to himself when she waved, as if caught off guard by the fact that she’d speak to him, and then smiled sheepishly when she mentioned the Rubik’s cube itself. Well... She seemed friendly enough. Why not?
“O-oh, this?” He held it up, then laughed in embarrassment because of course she was referring to that. Did Yuugi see any other Rubik’s cubes around here? No. “A-ah, well, yes, I do know how to solve it. See--” He quickly set himself to fix the current mess he made of it, and then matched all of the sides before he held it out for her to see. “Yeah, see? I’ve actually learned the solution a long time ago... As for why I have it, well... Actually, this Rubik’s cube isn’t mine, technically.”
His smile fell. “See... When I was taken into this city, I used to have something else strapped around my neck,” he gestured to his collar, “but...the scientists took it from me. Then, they gave me this.” He sighed. “What they took was really important to me. I hope I can get it back...”
He paused, then snapped to attention, trying to bring a soft smile back to his face. “A-ah, sorry for rambling. Pardon my rudeness-- I’m Mutou Yuugi. I’m...guessing the scientists got you, too?”
( ★ @yyuugis くコ:彡 )
( ★ くコ:彡 ) ❝I almost mistook you for a sea urchin. My bad.❞ Could you blame her? The guy had spiky … hair? Is that what they called it? They certainly weren’t tentacles. Or sea urchin spikes.
“R-really? How!?” What was it with this place and their scheme against his hair!? “A-and what about you, huh? You’re the one with pointy ears!” He’d feel bad for the outburst soon, but at the moment, Yuugi’s sick of the melodrama over his hair style. It’s not that weird!

“Did you lose a bet or is that hair supposed to be some kind of fashion statement?”
“Wh-what...? H-hey! I happen to like my hair this way...”
All right, everyone, like for a starter! Non-CA friendly, but I would like some CA peeps to like this post, too.
With a nod, Leon would return a faint smile as the other recognized him. Patiently, he’d listen to the other’s words, waiting for a chance to respond.
“It would depend on what you wished to talk about first. Any of those topics sound interesting.”
With a pause, he recalled that the cube wasn’t something the other was too keen on, with how they were acting the last game.
“I wouldn’t mind hearing about the different kinds of puzzles you’ve solved, honestly.”
“Well... Honestly...”
Yuugi laughed softly, sheepishly. “I haven’t completed any puzzles in a long time. The Millennium Puzzle was the last big project I undertook... I got swept into Duel Monsters after that, so... I never really had the time.”
“But that Rubik’s cube is one of them, and you could say some of the duels I participated in had a few of their own! After all, Duel Monsters is a strategy game. I don’t know if it counts as a puzzle, but I used to play Solitaire rather actively on my computer whenever I wasn’t working on building my deck or the Millennium Puzzle back when I spent time assembling it. I’ve done typical picture puzzles, too; there was this sky-themed one that I did a while back that had over a thousand pieces. I think it might be somewhere in my room’s cupboard still, actually...
“But of all the puzzles I’ve done, the Millennium Puzzle was the most difficult to solve. It looked like a pyramid,” he indicated this with his hands, “or at least, it does when it’s complete. It was fragmented into several pieces that I swear changed shape every time I took a break and came back to it. I was working on it for, mmm...” He hummed, rolling his eyes back, and then they lit up, “like, eight years or so. I’ve even had people tell me that in three thousand years I’ve been the only one to solve it! Neat, huh?
“In any case, I’m glad I did. After all, if I didn’t I wouldn’t have met the spirit in the Puzzle... It’s probably the best gift that Grandpa could’ve ever given me.”
It’s then that Yuugi paused, then let out an embarrassed giggle as he scratched the back of his head. “S-sorry. I...got a little carried away there. I just really like brain-teasers...”
That game might not have been the best, considering how things turned out, but…he did learn something. The other looked quiet, so Leon thought he’d at least attempt to speak.
“Yuugi? Could you…tell me more about puzzles? What you were talking about earlier intrigued me.”
“Mmm...?”
Yuugi blinked, before his eyes widened as he lighted them upon Leon and he smiled a little bit.
“Oh, yeah! I certainly could! Do you mean about the Rubik’s cube, or my Millennium Puzzle? Or maybe other puzzles I’ve solved?”
“No, that bastard’s had a beef with me for quite some time. Donno why.”
“From what I heard, it seems like he thinks you’re a bad influence... But you really don’t seem it to me. A little...hmmm...” Is there any nice word for it? Yuugi’s eyebrows knit. “...rough, I suppose?” Good enough. “But that’s about it...”
“...”
“Did I miss something during that game, or what?”
