[The video feed opens up rather shakily, as the young man holding the camera is moving rather erratically with it while it broadcasts. Despite the unsteady camera, a mess of blonde hair can be made out. Just as suddenly as the feed had begun, though, the shaking stops and the feed steadies.]

Well hey der everyone! Joey Wheeler comin' to you live from Goldenrod City!

[He leans-in and gives a thumbs-up to the camera.]

Ya know, I been usin' dis Pokégear for a while now but I never realized it could do cool stuff like let you talk to people through camera. Shows me for not takin' da time to get familiar with the little doohickey I s'pose, but how cool is dis? Phones were pretty cool back in Domino, don't get me wrong, but dis is on a whole new level!

[Joey sticks his bottom lip out and nods in affirmation of his own statement.]

I know der ain't no way I was the only one whisked away to dis here world though, so who else is out der?

[Ryou frowns.]

I'm the one who made it, the spirit just used it.

[Ryou has his own interest in the occult and creepy stuff, which extends to his choice of deck.]

I made some changes to it before I got here though, want to see?

[...Okay yeah, he's gotta tease Joey a bit. It's a golden opportunity.

If Joey, for whatever reason, does look at the cards he's holding to the camera, he'll find that some changes were made, but mostly just swapping out some of the normal monsters for stuff like Giant Germ to improve it a bit.]

[infernofireblast]

Yuck! Why you gotta give ya deck friggin' cooties?! Coulda used sometin' like Nimble Momonga but noooo.

[He sighs, exasperated.]

Why do people gotta run creepy-ass decks. First der' was dat dude Bones or whateva who worked for dat' creep Bandit Kieth, and den' it's been a revolvin-door of spooky crap around every otha cornah'. People can't just run normal decks anymore. I sweah'.

[rolltoavoidpossession]

I needed a Fiend type to help make it easier to get Dark Necrofear out.

[If he can get all three Giant Germs to the graveyard, then that's exactly what he needs to summon Necrofear.]

And it's not all creepy stuff, Change of Heart's in there.

[Of course it is, it's his favourite card.]

[infernofireblast]

Creepy marionette thing's still there? Greeeeaaaatttt.

Well, at least you're usin' your card typin' well. You got good support spells n' traps in der too, or are ya still playin' dat tired ol' Destiny Board?

[Joey does the "yuck" hand shaking gesture as he says it. Ouija Boards are an unnerving enough concept already. He didn't need a Duel Monsters version.]

[rolltoavoidpossession]

[Ryou smiles. Oh no.]

No, I still have Destiny Board too. I didn't change it that much.

[He is, in fact, still running Destiny Board. That has not changed from Battle City.]

Anyway, you said you were in Goldenrod? Where are you exactly?

[He wants to talk in person!]

[infernofireblast]

Destiny Board is supah vulnerable though! You're gonna have to structure your whole deck around dat' thing if you want it to be viable.

[He wags his finger dissapprovingly.]

There's a lot of dark and fiend suppoht available these days, so I'm sure you could get a lotta firepowah for the same amount of cahds you're using on that spooky ouija thingy.

As for where I'm at, I've been hangin' round the Pokemon Center most nights. I've worked at da' bicycle shop for da' past week or so getting side money but I've been hittin' da Game Corner a lot too. They got games and pachinko so it's been neat to drop scratch without having to worry about spendin' real money!

[rolltoavoidpossession]

Not as much if I run Dark Sanctuary. That makes it so I can summon the Spirit Messages as monsters instead of spells and protects them from card effects and attacks.

[He's thought about this! Yes, he has to focus on supporting Destiny Board, but it's fun when it works.]

Ah, I'm actually in Goldenrod too, near the Department Store right now. We could meet up if you wanted.

[infernofireblast]

I dunno man. Seems more like sometin' to keep in the side deck if ya ask me. I've taken' my game up a notch since comin' into that Duel Links thing, so I'm ready to punch for da' big leagues now! Got all kinds of butt-kickin' new cahds in there so I might have some you wanna check-out!

[Joey pans the camera over towards a bicycle.]

I'm actually workin' for da bike shop right now. I'm running deliveries all over town so, if you're game, I could meet ya der' at the end of my shift.

[rolltoavoidpossession]

Alright. You'll have to show me at some point then.

[He's attached to his occult deck, but not opposed to looking at new cards and getting ideas.]

And okay! I'll be here when you're off! How much of your shift do you have left?

[Just so he knows how much time he has. No point in standing around waiting for hours if there's no need to do that.]

[infernofireblast]

I get off in a couple'a hours, so it shouldn't be too long ta wait. I'm glad ta say I got pulled-in ta this place with pretty much all my cahds, so dis is one Joey Wheeler who's ready-ta-rumble.

[Joey points to a series of pouches on his belt.]

Not all'a dem' are my decks eithah. I got plenty'a just good staples knockin' around so I'm happy to help ya. I even ran into Marik while I was makin' deliveries, so maybe he'd wanna duel too! We could get a little club goin'!... No Kaiba though.
