[Video - Attention Duelists!]

[infernofireblast]

[[Hey folks. I wanted to preface this by notifying you that this post is supposed to go out to those individuals who play/participate in the Yu-Gi-Oh game of Duel Monsters. If you're character is from a Yu-Gi-Oh series then (obviously) you're likely familiar with it but, if your character has learned of while here in Victory Road, then that could work as well. Either way though, this is supposed to be a gathering for the cardsharks to be able to engage their favorite game so please bear that in mind.]]

[The feed boots up from what appears to be the booth of a fast-food restaurant. Red-and-white decor and wide windows can be seen all around, as well as the beeps and boops of the checkout counter, but an excited blonde youth occupies the center of the broadcast.]

Hey der duelists! Joey Wheeler comin' to ya live from Goldenrod again! I just got back from finishin' da tour'a Johto so it's time ta kick back and enjoy da holidays! Every time Christmas rolls around I always get da pahty bucket from da local chicken joint n' gatha' round with my friends, so imagine my surprise when I find out dey got pretty much da same place here in da Pokémon world!

[Joey pans the camera around the restaurant lobby.]

So, I got an invitation to all my fellow duelists: Seems der's a pretty good chunka people who play Duel Monstahs in dis world, so I figured it'd be a good time if we all got togetha and got some propah duels in! Sure der's Pokémon battles here in dis place, but nothin beats a good ol' game'a Duel Monstahs. If you're all jonesin' as hard as I am den's der a resahvation at da Goldenrod K.F.T. by da Bike Shop on Christmas Day! Dinnah's on me fa dose' who wanna come, so hit me up if you're lookin' ta join!

[Grinning widely, Joey salutes the camera in an exaggerated fashion before cutting the feed.]

I can't say I've ever dueled at a fast food joint.

But I won't ignore a challenge. I'll be there.

[infernofireblast]

Yeah I feel dat one. I swear we're always gettin' crazy dangerous places ta duel dese' days doe, so playin' someplace that ain't an ancient crypt or Atlantian shrine sounds like a win ta me!

[Joey laughs.}

Duelin' sure works up an appetite for me doe' so dis'll be da perfect combo! I do think it'd be bettah ta do it old-school with da mats n' such doe, as it's safe ta say that bustin'-out holograms in da middle'a da restaurant's probably a no-go.... cool as dat would be...

[blue_ice]

I do want to build new duel disks eventually, but. Deal.

Ready for round two?

[infernofireblast]

Oh wait a minute! Somehow I forgot you were da one dat made dem things, but da fact that you're here too is badass den!

[Though the camera can't see exactly what he's doing, Joey flips through the pages of the Pokegear to check his balance before turning his attention back to the conversation.]

I ain't got Kaibacorp money or nuthin' but I made a decent chunka change since comin' in here and I was wonderin' if you could build a couple'a dem Battle City-style disks.

[Joey looks sheepish as he continues. Trying to place an order through Kaiba wasn't at the top of his list of things he thought he'd be doing after coming into this world, but dueling is dueling and it's a helluva lot harder to be a Pro Duelist if half the people are playing on paper mats.]

I figure, bein' da old model and all, dey'd be cheapah ta make and it's what a buncha da people here seem ta know. Dat kinda thing in da realm'a possibility at all?

[blue_ice]

I just need to acquire scrap parts. If I could access Silph Co's castoffs....

I'll do what I can.

[infernofireblast]

[Joey gets an excited-but-mischevious look on his face.]

Oh I might actually have da perfect in for ya on dat front, provided scrap's what ya after. See any time Tristan or I wanted to score a cool new piece'a tech we'd do dumpsta divin' around all da big companies. Aftah a while we figga'd out dat da best times are around da end'a Octobah and da New Year, as dat's when dey like to change out all'a der computahs and such.

[An expression as if he's just revealed the showcase on a game show sits upon his face upon this revalation.]

Knowin' dat, maybe we could hit up da dumpstas at one'a dese' Silph places aftah Christmas 'n see if we get lucky?

[blue_ice]

[ Kaiba's eyebrow twitches, a rather pronounced movement. ]

...There. Has to be a better way.

I was considering traveling to their HQ in Saffron to apply for a Type:Null now that I qualify. It might be possible to find a more dignified in.

[infernofireblast]

I mean, if ya wanna do it dat way den sure.

[Joey shrugs.]

Bbbuuuttt we are at dat perfect time'a year for dumpsta divin'.

[With a wink and a pair of finger pistols, Joey makes his best "you know you wanna do it" move.]

[blue_ice]

I shudder to think about what else might be in that dumpster. I want to build, but I don't need to that badly.

[infernofireblast]

A big company like dat's gonna have all da bins separated doe'. That's what makes da diggin' so fun with places like dat. Heck da ones at Kaibacorp were clean as a whistle!

[Joey immediately falters.]

Eh... not dat... not dat I'd evah dumpstah dive at your place ah'course Kaiba!
