Chapter 5- Shopping and Duel monster games

Searching through the Dollar store isles, so far I found a couple of khaki pants and blue jeans. The shirts weren't really easy, since I had to find the right ones where Otto can just walk freely with the tentacles hovering around the house and I also wanted to find ones big enough for him to wear to hide, if he wanted to go into public.

But as I was searching through the men's clothes, I stumbled across some underwear. It gave me one question in my mind about Otto: Boxers or briefs? I blushed when I brought both.

Then, there were brown trenchcoats on sale. I smile, and decided to purchase my own.

"Buying men clothes huh?" the store employer asked scanning Otto's clothes. I nodded.

"Just doing errands for a friend of mine."

The employer nodded and put the stuff in the grocery bag. I head my way out and rode my bike back home. It wasn't a long way home; I had to pass a couple of streets and my school to get home.

We sit by the table in uncomfortable silence. Sean was still playing toys with my tentacles, and Charles nervously stares at me. It makes me wish that the girl would be back home now, because she act like she knows what to do.

Then Charles smiles. I raised an eyebrow.

"Crystal told me while were waiting, we should do something. She did mention playing Yu-Gi-Oh cards...do you know how to play?"

I nodded no. "What are they? I've never heard of them."

Charles bolted out the living room through the hallways into the house and came back with two decks of brown colored cards (in the back) with big black ovals in the center. He gave me a card. In the opposite side, it shows a picture of some kind of monster. It looked furious, a dragon-like monster with blue eyes and whitish blue colored skin. The title read 'Blue-eyes white dragon'.

"Yu-Gi-Oh, or duel monsters I like to call, are these. That's Crystal's favorite card, the Blue-eyes white dragon. Its really strong see?" Charles pointed to the bottom of the card that read, 'ATK/ 3000' 'DEF/ 2500'.

"Yes, I can see. The number goes in thousands."

"Want me to teach you how to play?"

"Um, I guess, seeing that there is nothing better to do...um, what about poker? Do you know how to play poker?"

Charles made a confused look. "No, this is possibly the only card game I know how to play. Other than Go fish."

Then, Charles went on explaining me how to play this childish game. Not like I have anything better to do at the time.

I rode on home less than 10 minutes. Its faster than walking, and Otto didn't have to go and stink around the house.

Otto...I can't believe he's here, at my home! This is like a dream come true to every Doc Ock fan! It's like a miracle! How did he get here? In Texas above all places! Why did he pick this place? Maybe he didn't pick this place.

But I do remember making a stupid wish in my birthday last December, wishing Otto to live in this world and stuff. But I didn't believe in birthday wishes. I mean, I had a wish to be the richest person in the world, but it never came true.

But this...this is amazing. Dreams or wishes do come true.

I think I need to start watching those Disney movies again.

When I got home, I knocked on the door. Sean answered it.

"Hi Crystal!" He chirped, holding a Batman toy. I looked in.

"Otto didn't kill you yet?" I try a joke, going inside. Otto isn't in the front room anymore, but I do hear music playing in my room. I closed and locked the door, following Sean all the way to my room.

But the idea of Otto in my room, it scares me for a sec. What if he finds out about the truth? That he lives in a fictional world? Would it be easy for him? I mean, I have a poster of him posing over my bedpost, right over the spot where I sleep. I use it to 'ward off' nightmares, since I stopped remembering my dreams ever since I had it. And that's not all, I mean, I have a background in my computer of him looking at the cops during his bank heist.

And not to mention the fact that I sewed up a doll of Otto! (A/N: instructions on how to make your own Otto doll at the bottom of this page!) I mean, it took me a couple of hours to make, and it looked cute.

I hurriedly ran to my room.

There, Otto and Charles is sitting on my bedroom floor, playing a game of Yu-Gi-Oh. My Limp Bizkit CD is playing on my radio, and Otto looks like he was in a struggling battle against Charles. My bed was covered with toys and blocks, and Sean jumped to the bed, playing toys with Otto's tentacles. I started to laugh.

"Playing with a childish game, Doc Octavius?" I say, leaning on the door. I try to stay cool and collected. I'm surprised that I didn't faint when I saw that cute struggling face Otto made while playing the game.

"Well, yeah. But I'm surprised of how much you can learn from this game! It takes a lot of strategy and brain power to win this kind of stuff." Otto looks over at me. "Can you help me with this? I'm confused."

I laugh. "Ok, only if you promise that you'll take a bath after this duel!" I walked up to him, putting the bag of Otto's clothes on the bed. A tentacle of his began to run through it.

"Okay, let's see..." (If you have no idea how to play Yu-Gi-Oh, don't read this part until you've reached the part when Otto say he wins. I don't want complains, saying that they have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. But if interested, go to the official website and find some info on how to play the freaking game)

The game looked like it was a stalemate. Both Charles and Otto has about 1000 life points left (the game starts with 8000). Both have strong monsters on the field with the same attack points. Otto has a large collection of cards gathered from his deck, and Charles has a little bit of cards. I sigh. Otto seemed like an amateur. He has an award-winning hand, and yet he doesn't know how to use them. I was merely surprised.

"Here Otto," I pointed to one monster on his hand. It was a blue-colored card that says 'Relinquished'. I also pointed to another card, a green colored card called 'Black Illusion Ritual'. "Use these ritual magic card and ritual monster, and you win the game."

Otto looked at them, confused. "What? What do you mean? How could that be possible?"

I sigh. "Read the instructions, sweetie."

In the green card, it says something about special summoning the blue card Relinquished. Relinquished would be summoned out on the field, and the card owner would activate its special effect, to select your opponent's monster and add its ATK (attack) and DEF (defense) to its own ATK and DEF. The opponent's monster is used as a green 'magic' card; therefore it wouldn't be defending the opponent in his side of the battlefield.

And since Charles has a 'Harpie's brother' and Otto has a 'Fiend Kraken', Otto would activate Relinquished's effect and take Charles' Harpie's brother, and direct attack the rest of his life points.

Charles groaned.

"Yay! I win! Though confusing, It's kinda fun. I think I need to read the instructions more..." Otto stands up.

"Now, go and take a bath," I order Otto, "stinky."

Otto pushed me playfully. His tentacles took out a T-shirt and blue pants.

"Oh nice, 'Dallas cowboys'?" He asks. I nodded and pointed to the exit. He made a fixed look on me.

"Hey, kiddo, you're in no position to order me!" Otto said.

"Yeah, I know. But you still need a bath anyway to stay here. Since when did you last took one?" Otto shugged.

Charles picked up the cards. "Hey, Ottoman! Did you see that picture of you by Crystal's bedside?" He pointed to my poster.

Oh shit. Charles should've never done that. That'll lead from questions to more confusing questions!

"W-when did I strike a pose like that?" Otto asked, clueless. I stood up, frustrated, and began to push him outside my room.

"Later! Bath now, questions later! I still need to clean the house, since we weren't expecting a visitor like you."

I'm half-right. There are toys all over the floor, the clothes need to be clean and the dishes weren't done yet. And even my dog pooped somewhere around the house, since she didn't go when I walked her.

"What are you talking about? Your house looked ffiinne—"

Before he could continue, I shoved him into the bathroom, blushing for the 5th time this day. I need to reconsider everything anyway.

He opened back the bathroom door. "Hey, no need to push me around! Um, where are the towels?"

"In the cabinet."

He nods and closed the door. After that, I walked back into my room, Sean now playing toys with himself and Charles sitting on my computer chair. He crossed his arms.

"What are we gonna do sis?" Charles asks.

"Were gonna keep him until we know exactly what to do with him. And right now, were gonna clean this house. You dumped your toy box in the TV room."

"I didn't do it! It was Sean, trying to find that stupid ball."

"I don't care! Clean your room." I pointed to the outside of my room.

With an annoyed look, Charles went outside the room and began to clean his room. I looked at Sean.

"What?" He asked.

"You too!"

"Aww!" He whined. Sean gathered all his toys and went to his room. Since dad moved to live with grandma to take care of her, everybody in this house had their own room. Sean took Charles' old bed and we brought a twin bed and put it in the movie room to be Charles' room. I try and think of where Otto should sleep. Not only do we have a twin bed, but the white couch in the living room is also a futon.

I think Otto'll like sleeping in the bottom of the twin bed, since the big screen TV is right in front of it.

I began to gather his clothes and fold them in a neat style, until I realize that Otto forgot his boxers...and he needs them...

Oh shit...

To be continued...

Thanks kindly for your reviews! Another should be up soon! Here are the instructions on making your very own homemade Otto doll!

Stuff you'll need:

Fabric in white or peach color (I used a old white pillow case)

Permanent markers (colors of brown and black)

Scissors

Needle and thread

Black and brown yarn

Hot glue

Polyester stuffing

Duct tape

Plastic straws (4)

Brown paints (lots of paint if required)

1) Draw a doll shape onto a double layer of fabric. If the scraps or big enough, save them for Otto's trenchcoat. Or else, you'll need either brown fabric or white (used lots of brown paint to color it).

2) Sew around the drawn line, but remember to save a gap hole to turn the fabric inside out. Then fill the doll with polyester stuffing. Then sew it all up.

3) Wrap around his stomach with duct tape and draw the lines that were on the machine in the stomach. Also, color with black permanent marker his legs for black pants (especially if you're lazy to make pants).

4) Make his face using black and brown permanent markers (y'know the eyes, nose, mouth, etc.)

5) Draw a jacket shape on two fabrics of brown for Otto's trenchcoat. Cut it out and hem around the jacket, saving big gaps for hands and body. If you're using white, paint the darn thing!

6) Before you put the trenchcoat on, take the duct tape and cut it to be thin. Take the plastic straws and cut along the end tips to make four long ends. Do it on all four and use the duct tape to tape the straws on his back. They're used as tentacles.

7) Then, put the trenchcoat on. Be careful though, have the top two sticking out behind out the neck and have the bottom two come out from the bottom underneath the coat.

8) Take the brown and black yarn and cut it in a bunch of equal 1-inch pieces. Hot glue them all over the back of the head, starting from the bottom of the head to the top. I used it in spike like styles!

Then you're finished! It was fun and takes a lot of work to make. I know they sell the already made dolls in stores like Wal-Mart, but I got bored one day and I had all the supplies needed inside my house without going anywhere. I hope these instructions prove that I really did made the doll. It's lying on top of my TV near the other collections I have, watching me type this fic!
