(pre-emptive AN: I am running off the head-canon that 1 lien=1 dime. Tried looking up the correct value, but all i got was RWBY theory, which matpat got booted out of. 10c to 1 lien seems sensible.)
...Is my existence affecting things here?
No. No, this is entirely coincidental. Even if it WERE intentional, we would need to confirm the personality is the same. HE just isn't the same without his flamboyance.
So, for those who don't know, Pegasus is here. I have a meeting with one Vermillion Pegasus later this day. I... all I have to say is "oh dios mio."
"So, Summer, is there anything in particular you want? It's a special occasion, so I'm willing to get you something special."
"...Can you get one of those cookie pizzas I saw on the ads?"
Pfft. Guess now we know where Ruby got it from. "Sure, Summer. Just give me a second."
Alright, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50... Yep, everythings here. All 900 lien, right here. In the floor of the Inverse.
I still think keeping it in the Inverse is excessive.
Excessive is better than deficient. We've been over this.
True, but you shouldn't have reason to be this paranoid.
Roman and The Gremlin could be running around, the White Fang could still be raging racists, Tyrian might be crawling around and, due to my literally divine aura, think I am his "Goddess"'s child, Cinder might try and recruit me, OZPIN might try to recruit me-
Okay, okay, i get your point.
God am I glad I binged a metric fuck-ton of fanfiction about the show.
~~a couple hours later, because I'm sure none o' yall wanna read Allen doing diddly-dick all.~~
Okay, this is the place Mister Yugioh himself told me to go to. So, knock kno-
P: "OH, do come in, Ally-boy, do come in. We have much to discuss."
...Oh, wait, nevermind, I told him my name the first time we met, false alarm.
"A: Much, indeed. So, how much do you request to be paid upfront and in profits?"
P: "Oh, such mundane matters, how boring. I have better questions. Why is it you decided to make this... "Duel monsters", was it?"
God, it feels so wrong seeing Pegasus be unfamiliar with it.
A: "Well, at first, it was simply because I needed to find a way to afford life. Then, I wanted to be able to have some hold in the world. Then, after a bit, I decided: "Why not make people and their lives better?"
P: "Really? I understand it would be entertaining, but what else could it be?"
A: "A card game like this can make children become more intelligent faster, at least, more than you would think. You would need to plan things out; 'should I summon this monster?' 'will he benefit from this effect?' 'what do they have face-down?'. Of course, a OTK is possible given the correct RNG, but above all else, it takes the ability to plan 2 steps ahead of your enemy and 3 ahead of yourself to truly win at a card game like Duel Monsters. The myriad of synergies between each card allow for border-line TOO many plays. As such, it provokes constant, eternal growth & flexibility in players of any age."
...Holy fuck when did I get so heated over yugioh?
P: "...You have won me over. When do you want me to get started?"
A: "As soon as convenient, really. I wish to make sure you are in peak condition when you begin, so that the cards are perfect."
P: "Then, if you would leave me to my devices, you will find yourself with quite the bounty, Ally-Boy."
A: "Perfect. And, if you would be so kind as to oblige, I have archetypes I would like to be made, and a rulebook already made in case you get confused."
P: "Too kind, too kind, you truly are~"
God this feels kinda weird. The flamboyance is getting to me. Now I am regretting this.
A: "Then, if you do not need me anymore, I shall take my leave."
P: "Goodbye, Ally-Boy~"
I, hastily but inconspicuously, got the fuck out of dodge. Seriously, that flamboyance felt like it was starting to dip into gaeness, and so help me God if I saw him drop a pencil or pen I would shoot him on sight. Time to go drown this experience down in cookie pizzas and this world equivalent to pepis... Bebis. God, the name alone is making me feel better & better...
Shit. We never discussed price.
(AN: yes, i do plan on having a mini-arc based on it, how did you know?)
