[canon, au, assumed cr, go nuts. For those unfamiliar with GX, Jun is a bisexual disaster that went to school for four years to become a Yugioh esports idol--I mean, a professional duelist. he might also be haunted by ugly ghosts.]

Judai-

Oh, it's just you.

[Manjoume, who was probably in the middle of a stupid argument with the Ojamas, drops his cards in his hands at the door suddenly being kicked in, whipping his head around to see who it is.

... Oh, it's just Rei. But then, before he can say that, she has the absolute gall to beat him to the punch with those words, and what comes out instead is--]


Wh--hey, hold on, the hell do you mean "it's just you"!? Don't burst in here and then act like I'm not worth your time!

[personal profile] tokenloveinterest 2023-12-01 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you're not.

[JUST ABSOLUTELY MERCILESSLY.]

I thought Judai was in here, so I was going to set up some mistletoe, or at least play with Pharaoh, but... If you're the only one in here, there's no point.
thundercrashes: (armed dragon lv3)

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2023-12-02 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
First of all, pretty sure Pharaoh is in the rafters right now.

[He says, with a point above them. Judging by the occasional Ojama yelps, he assumes the cat is trying to catch them again.]

Second of all, what makes you think Judai would have stuck around if he was in here and saw you hanging up mistletoe of all things? If you're wanting to catch him for the sake of one of your romantic delusions, it'd make more sense to set them up first, and then get him to come into the room.

[... why does this sound like something that Manjoume is speaking from experience on... actually, knowing about his Asuka crush, he probably has tried a similar stunt like Rei's before.]

[She's just. Giving him a look. A big look of pity.]

Did you try that with Asuka before? Wow.... No wonder.

[what's THAT supposed to mean, rei.]
thundercrashes: (the unhappy maiden)

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2023-12-02 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[The amount of disrespect he has to put up with her...]

And what is that supposed to mean? ... You know what, I don't think I even want to know the answer to that, just stop giving me that look. It's totally not warranted here.
tokenloveinterest: (pic#14350679)

[personal profile] tokenloveinterest 2023-12-02 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well. After a moment, at least, the look of pity changes. Now, she has a look of mischief.]

Hmmm... Well, if you insist. Then, I guess if it's totally not warranted, then you don't need help with getting Asuka's attention?
thundercrashes: (xyz dragon cannon)

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2023-12-02 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Okay, you've got his attention now, as Manjoume sits up a little straighter here in response.]

You'd actually help with something like that? [A pause, and then he averts his gaze.] ... Not that I need the help, of course.

[Because it's totally not necessary. Obviously.]
tokenloveinterest: (pic#14350683)

[personal profile] tokenloveinterest 2023-12-02 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I would! A Maiden in Love would never turn her back on someone else's true, pure love!

[And she can use this to her advantage, of course.]
thundercrashes: (hidden wish)

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2023-12-02 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[In return, she gets the squint of suspicion here, because Manjoume don't easily trust like that.

Fubuki can get away with saying that kind of thing because he's Shishou, but Rei however...]


What's the catch?

[personal profile] tokenloveinterest 2023-12-02 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
What catch? Of course there's no catch.

Well, no catch that would matter so a duelist as great as Manjoume, winner of the Genex Tournament, and all of that. After all, you're the best duelist in the Academy, aren't you?
thundercrashes: (graceful charity)

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2023-12-02 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Manjoume-san, and of course I am. There's no need to even question that fact here.

[He's also currently the best duelist being played like a fiddle, but it does not appear that he's realized that here yet.]
tokenloveinterest: (pic#14350679)

[personal profile] tokenloveinterest 2023-12-02 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
So, then. Do you think you're stronger than Asuka, Manjoume-san?

[he's SO EASY

this might be easier than even Kenzan was!]
thundercrashes: (royal magical library)

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2023-12-03 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[That actually gives him pause for a moment--he had dueled Asuka once before, and she had defeated him soundly. But... that was first year, and this is now. Maybe things have changed, so when Manjoume responds, his tone is a little more careful in his words.]

The only way to really know that for certain would be to face her head on again.
tokenloveinterest: (pic#14350679)

[personal profile] tokenloveinterest 2023-12-03 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Or to face someone else who was already stronger than her, right?
thundercrashes: (z metal tank)

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2023-12-03 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well. That gets his eyebrows raised a fair bit, and yet, she's definitely got his attention, hook line and sinker.]

What exactly are you planning here?
tokenloveinterest: (pic#14350679)

[personal profile] tokenloveinterest 2023-12-03 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Some part of Rei should probably feel guilty for this.

But she's Rei, queen of the incredibly overcomplicated plans, and Manjoume just makes this so easy.]


You know, if I were to duel Asuka, it wouldn't be hard for me to shut her down completely- Her deck has a big, glaring weakness. And then, while she's on the defensive and has no way to win... A certain someone might jump in to save her.
thundercrashes: (dark blade)

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2023-12-04 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Really now.

[Manjoume's tone is skeptical at the prospect of Rei being able to defeat Asuka that easily. Still...]

In the completely hypothetical event of you actually winning, how exactly do you foresee how... a certain someone might be able to jump in to help her?
tokenloveinterest: (pic#14350682)

[personal profile] tokenloveinterest 2023-12-04 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[manjoume she uses rituals and we predate literally ANY ritual support. frankly i could shit all over seto kaiba because the blue-eyes support ALSO hasn't been invented yet.]

You know how there's that winter tournament coming up?
thundercrashes: (roll out!)

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2023-12-04 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Listen, I absolutely believe Rei could accomplish it, but good luck convincing Manjoume the simp of that.]

Yeah, I'm aware of it. I'm guessing that's the stage you're wanting to use for this plan of yours?
tokenloveinterest: (pic#14350679)

[personal profile] tokenloveinterest 2023-12-04 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[you are SO lucky she won't call you a simp to your face.]

I might have gotten a peek at the rules ahead of time. It's going to be a battle royale format, where duelists can jump in to interrupt each other...
thundercrashes: (dimensional catapult)

[personal profile] thundercrashes 2023-12-05 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh]

I get it now. So you want to duel her, and then when it looks like she's on the ropes, I tag in to interrupt you from dealing her the finishing blow...

[There's a pause before his brow furrows.]

Wait, so what is it then that you're hoping to get out of this? I'm assuming you've got some kind of plan for this to work in your favor for getting Judai's attention, right?
tokenloveinterest: (pic#14257661)

[personal profile] tokenloveinterest 2023-12-05 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. Even if I lose, don't you think holding my own against both you and Asuka at the same time would get my beloved Judai's attention?

[this is a lie. this is 10000% a lie. she is lying through her teeth.]
