FireCacodemon: Welcome to the Heart of the Plush, my brand new Yu-Gi-Oh story. Yu-Gi-Oh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi. Enjoy.
Prologue
"I'm sorry to drop by so late sir; I'm honoured that you'll see me at this time of night."
"Come now, Mr. Serene, someone willing to expand on the world of Duel Monsters will always catch my interest," Pegasus said as he held up a tall thin glass up to a pair of crimson eyes. "I already have the card game all sorted out though, Kaiba Corp does the hologram system, and what can you provide me which will work in my favour?"
"My idea is mainly for children and collectors."
"Oh? How do you plan on doing that?" Pegasus asked; intrigued on what the younger male was going to offer. If what was being offered benefited Industrial Illusions then of course he was going to give permission to Mr. Serene to use the Duel Monster idea. "Children of what age though? The game is already simple enough that any child can pick up the game and play."
"The idea is to be able to create soft toys of the Duel Monster monsters, for instance..." Mr. Serene opened up his backpack and reached inside, and gently pulled out a brown fur-ball plush with large yellow eyes with purple pupils, tiny green claws for the hands and feet. The Kuriboh plush was placed on the table. Pegasus smiled at the soft toy presented and put the glass down to pick up the Kuriboh plush and examined it further. Pegasus found himself amazed at the stitching, how soft the plush was as well as how kept it was to the original design of the duel monster itself. Looking up at Mr. Serene, the young male had talent similar to how Seto Kaiba had talent. "...as you can see, I'm aiming for the young audience who can't quiet pick up the game just yet. Like most soft animals seen on the shelves, anyone can pick them up and collect them." He spoke as Pegasus gently put down the plush Kuriboh.
"I do enjoy your idea but there is one question."
"What's that sir?"
"What's your team like?"
"I...prefer to make them one by one. I know it'll create a lot of work for me, as well as balancing school on top of it but just like you painted the original images for the cards, I plan to spent time producing them before opening up a shop of my own in Domino City."
"What? Working on your own to create this? I'm very impressed but I don't think it'll work with just you working on it."
"Would you like to have a deal?"
"What type of deal are you planning to ask?" Pegasus smiled.
"If I can prove to you I'm an effective worker, then you help me set up my own shop and allow me permission to create the plush. If I can't prove that I'm an effective worker then I'll drop the idea."
"That does sound like an interesting deal. I accept the terms and conditions of the deal. You have one week to make as many plush duel monster prototypes as you can."
"Thank you, sir." And with that, the deal was made.
FireCacodemon: Well, that's all I have time for now. Hope you enjoyed.
