A Few Last Minute Details
Well tomorrow I head for DimSoft Island. I'm feeling rather nervous now to be honest.
My flight leaves Gatwick at 08:45 tomorrow morning and will get into Tokyo twelve hours later. Luckily as long as there aren't too many delays there should be no problem with catching my boat as the flights were arranged by Dimension Inc.
Anyone hovering around Gatwick airport's departure lounge between quarter to five and whatever time they start loading the plane, look out for a teenager with brushy brown hair tied up in a ponytail, wearing a leaf green dress that goes down to just above knee level and a pair of khaki shorts along with a khaki jacket and great clunky boots, say hi. It's probably me.
I have to get there three hours before my flight leaves so I'll probably get very bored. So I'll probably have my laptop out. I'll be on Kaiba Corp's DuellistOnline for some of the time. My username is DMG, if anyone's up for helping me with some last minute deck preparation.
It's requested, in the media pack, that we don't take our Duel Disks with us so for once I'll be leaving that at home. However thanks to the suggestions of a few of my readers who were at Duellist Kingdom a couple of years back, I've packed three bottles of water and two energy drinks, along with a bunch of travel food like granola bars and dried fruit.
Along with that, I've got a couple of tops and a select bunch of spares to settle my deck before the official registration starts. It's a little heavy, don't get me wrong. But I think I've gotten everything I'll need. Especially since I doubt I'll be part of the tournament for too long and I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to stick around as part of the press team after I lose.
Whatever the results of my participation, I plan on covering everything I can for as long as I have internet coverage. Including covering Dimension Inc. tech and what it can do, results from the final rounds, if I'm allowed to see them.
And I'll be once again trying to see if I can solve the undying mystery of what the hell is actually going on with Yugi Mutou. Since he recently reappeared on the Duelling Circuit after disappearing for nine months, I look forward to solving both the mystery of just where he vanished too and why there seems to be two Yugi Mutous.
Wish me luck.
