As I know now it was no mere accident that I arrived here, in this all new but still strangely familiar world. I had been competing in a tournament though nothing too big.. One of those small time tournaments held in conventions every now and then and I wasn't doing too badly! Though I'd have to be honest, it was because I've been playing since the game first came out. I've had a ton of experience playing Yugioh and I wasn't exactly playing a fair deck…
But anyway It was the break between rounds and I was on my way to the restroom when suddenly a bright light engulfed me and the room shook violently, tossing me around my a ragdoll, I was sure I'd hit something or someone in the convention but as I prepared for the impact nothing came, I opened my eyes to see I was laying on a patch of grass. Though I had no clue where I was, I didn't even remember feeling the grass touch my skin, it was just suddenly there when I opened my eyes, I was left on my own in the middle of a forest. I was obviously shaken from the whole ordeal, getting to my feet quickly only to feel a sudden dizziness and need to lean against a nearby tree as I got my bearings.
The warm breeze drifted over me and I smelled the scent of flowers blossoming beyond the treeline which was confusing more than anything else considering I was just in a convention, in the middle of a city where the strongest smells where things you'd rather not smell.
My eyes darted around my immediate environment as I examined exactly where I was. There was no sign of humans anywhere.. Though I did see my bag. It was a shoulder bag, black and red in colouration which I had bought online some time earlier with the purpose of using it to keep my decks in. as soon as I was feeling steady I walked over to pick up the bag, hoisting it onto my shoulder before exploring the landscape.
As I stepped through the treeline I breathed a breath of relief, seeing a large lake filled with sapphire blue, shimmering water and what looked to be a set of vending machines on the other side which I promptly rushed to, discovering a path with people walking across it, cheerfully chatting and even laughing or teasing their friends.
A promising sight indeed though I still didn't recognise where I was and instead walked in the direction the most people seemed to be going, the road winding and cutting through the admittedly beautiful trees and flowers to a sudden opening into a busy street.
A Car zoomed by, turning the corner before vanishing into the cityscape, leaving me to watch in awe as this brand new world revealed itself to me, gigantic buildings and skyscrapers reaching into the cloudline with people wandering the streets and colourful signs in front of every store around, each of which a different shape or a different size or something that would catch the eye, cars that past looked to be old, almost out of date in a way with no real modern types around which made me think I was no longer in my home country, as I wandered these streets they only served to remind me of how different this was to home where there were cities but they weren't like this… no, this looked like New York or London where buildings are so tall they bend from street perspective though perhaps not quite at that size yet but still these buildings were massive and each seemed to have these strange, highly reflective glass. In fact I could barely see through the windows and at times they were like mirrors and it was thanks to these window-mirrors that I finally saw what I looked like.
I was tall, perhaps a little taller than I had been before with my black coat on though whilst it had been thick, bulging and furred now it looked… almost like a leather material and it didn't seem to be able to zip up... also it was longer than I had remembered with the back running down, into a tail of sorts behind my knees. My Jeans were Blue though I don't like wearing jeans and my mountain boots had turned into these slick, expensive looking white sneakers, generic looking in my opinion. My necklace had changed too.
In the convention whenever you register your name and pay entry fees you're given an entry lanyard with a plastic card on it which shows your name and what level of customer you are. From Trader or Stall Owner, to VIP, or Regular, to Staff and with each having a different colour and icon on them it's pretty easy to tell the difference from a distance.
Now however the fabric had changed to a silver chain and the plastic card to a triangular crystal with a tiny tree inside. As Shocking as this was it still wasn't the most surprising, my hair took the cake.
The top of my hair was flat, not surprising since I don't have the luxury of spiky, curly or really identifiable hair how as my hair mimicked the shape of my head it soon got to the weird part around my ears where it seemed to spike outwards not too far but it did seem to create a small, spiked ponytail at the apex of my neck. My eyes were the usual hazelnut though less rounded and more serious looking than I remembered, even my surprised expression looked almost forced with how serious it looked.
I blinked and looked around, only now realising that come nightfall I'd be sleeping on the street unless I could find somewhere to rest.. Or get some money
WIth a deep Breath I continued, walking now into the mysterious city, only hoping to figure out something that would make sense of this madness at the same time as I tried to ignore this madness.
