---Last Time---

Riot got up from his place in the raucous bar and slipped a card for the high-class library onto the table the mage sat at. As he continued walking, he whispered, just loud enough for Khaki to hear. "That'll warrant you gaining glasses soon..."

By the time Khaki sorted that out, Riot was gone. Picking up the card, he saw that the card was labeled with his name on it. He grinned. This was going to help a lot. Not many people had access to this library.

Riot smirked, seeing the grin that lit the young mages face. He could afford to pass out such tokens of good.

He was the Red Eyes Black Dragon.

Jou grinned as he woke to the virtual world. It was quite refreshing. He had gotten to 'sleep' (aka the time between logging out and back in again) in a real -cough- bed!

Sable hadn't been kidding when he said that Cuidad del Gato was his home. That was because at least a little part of it was.

Sable owned a mansion and had offered Jou a room for as long as he stayed in the city. Taking into account that he rented out some of the other rooms for a considerable fare, that was a generous offer, one that Jou took him up on.

The mansion also had a considerable library, one that Jou had been given a key too...and had already exhausted. He had already gone through the public library as well, and was about to head to the high-class library when Sable logged in.

"Found anything?" the cat-mage asked.

Jou shook his head. "I went through all the books in the library, and the public library. I was about to go check out the high-class one when you--"

"You can't get into the high-class one," Sable interrupted.

Jou smirked and fished out his card. Sable's blue eyes grew large.

"Those are rare...How'd you get it?"

Jou grinned. "This guy just gave it to me."

Sable just nodded. "See you later then..."

Jou nodded with glee as he headed out the door.

Seto tread through the dusty virtual streets of the cat city, the place that had become his second home...well...thrid, right after KaibaCorp. He blamed coffee for the names of the three main cities. The dog city had been named Cuidad del Perro, and he completely forgot what he named the rabbit city.

He hoped he hadn't named them something completely odd in Spanish.

He walked into a tavern, and stood at the bar. Motioning over to the bartender, and asked if he knew where he might obtain a high-class library pass.

He walked out of the tavern with a pass and a purse much lighter.

Heh. He wasn't going to let Khaki be one of the only ones with a pass.

Riot peeked from behind a book at the young mage who sat amidst a sea of books. He couldn't help but snicker at the youth's enthusiasm. He hadn't expected him to log back in so soon.

He could see the slight glow of gold right in-between his eyes, signaling that Riot's prediction was about to come true. He was going to get glasses.

The gold light flared, fanning out to become a set of oval shaped specs. The honey colored eyes behind them didn't even register their presence.

Riot snickered.

There was a second flare of light and Riot could only guess that the mage had finally been given a tail as well.

Mages around the youth turned and looked at him oddly. He was too wrapped into the books around him to even notice the golden tail that swished about his boot-clad feet.

Suddenly, a cat-mage walked in, carrying a bag of borrowed books over his shoulder. He looked about the room in search of someone. Riot faded into the shadows, just to watch.

The cat-mage spotted the youth, and a smile lit his normally solemn face.

Riot smiled. The High Priest needed a friend.

"Oi, Khaki." The cat-mage spoke slightly above a whisper, respecting the other patrons of the place.

Khaki, the youth, grinned, while still looking down at his books. After finishing the line, he stuffed the books into his own bag and abruptly stood up.

The cat-mage had, in the mean time, moved next to Khaki.

Glasses and a tail are enough to put anyone off balance when they don't expect them.

Riot slid off into the Shadow Realm while laughing like mad.

== Heh. Picture the impending doom...
