Friday 2nd August
Leaving for the Dimension Tournament.
So here I am. Sat in Gatwick Airport. Bored out of my mind. As predicted.
I have over an hour before my plane is due to leave for Tokyo and I think my deck's pretty much settled now so I have nothing to do.
At all.
So instead of sulking for the next hour, I'd thought I'd start by sharing a piece of news that I found interesting when I work up this morning.
I've heard tell that there was a disturbance at the Mutou residence last night. Police were called by the neighbours who thought that the shop had been broken into. Apparently there were signs of a struggle upstairs, but since Yugi was at the cinema and his Grandfather was out visiting a friend, there should have been no one home at the time, so we don't know what happened.
Perhaps that mysterious 'Other Yugi' we've all noticed appearing when the King of Games duels was at home. If so I hope he's okay.
In other news, I had to stick all my drinks in a suitcase that I have no idea what I'm going to do with on the other end. Perhaps I'll find somewhere I can donate it, or maybe just leave it on the ship. I don't want to be dragging it around the island, even if it has wheels.
I did run into a couple of Duellists from England in the departure lounge. Balfrey Ginger, the English champion and self proclaimed 'Master of Magic Cards,' along with a fan of his who challenged him in the departure lounge and was most disappointed when he didn't have his Duel Disk on him.
He did tell me later that his Duel Disk is in his suitcase but that he wasn't planning to do anything with it until after the tournament was over. In fact he had heard rumour that there might be a place we can store our extra bags until the tournament was over but until I hear something official I'm not going to trust it.
Oh they've changed my boarding gate, excuse me for a sec... Right here we are.
There's some new cards due out over here next week. Not in time for the tournament unfortunately but from what I've heard about the new set, there's nothing in it for me anyway. Lots of things for the dragon lovers of you out there, but me and my magicians will just have to feel lonely for now.
Ooh and there's an up and coming pair of tag team duellists who issued an official challenge to the current holders of the English Tag Team champions. The pair are fire deck users who build off of each other's decks to lock down the opponent and slowly whittle away at their opponent's life points using effects. It's a nasty combination but the pair are very good at it. I look forward to having a front row seat at that duel next Sunday.
Man I'm hungry. Should have eaten before I left. I think I'll go and get a breakfast from the McDonalds in the food court. I have plenty of time. I'll post again when I get to Tokyo.
