Yugioh ZEXAL: A New Utopia (Plot up!)

[wolfrunner]

Regina nodded and started to walk over towards the new face.

[CorvusSchnee]

From the corner of his eye, Kio detected someone moving towards him. A quick glance told him they were both girls(he knew a tomboy from the orphanage, and so had learned to tell an individual's gender based on their facial features, and that could not be mistaken at this age). Maybe if he pretended not to see them, they would not bother him. No, that would not work. He had already looked in their direction. Almost absentmindedly, Kio put his hand on the pouch that held his deck, finding comfort in the presence of his friends. All he had to do was make quick talk and it would all be over in no time. As confident as he could be, Kio had always found it difficult to make friends. Perhaps it was because he did not feel like he had much in common with them.

"Heyya, new guy!" Kim exclaimed, wrapping an arm roughly around the timid-looking boy's neck. He had a good few feet on her, so it was a bit difficult, but she managed. "Allow me to officially welcome you to the academy! My name's Kim, and that lovely lady over there is Regina! Call her Regi, though, everyone does." Rather abrupt introductions put of the way, the young duelist released her hold on the boy, moving back to stand by Regina. He wasn't terrible looking, she mused. Tall, nice hair, red eyes; he almost looked like one of those vampires from the shows. Maybe he was a vampire. That'd be pretty cool, a vampire duelist. "So, newbie," she said, almost bouncing on the spot with energy, "you got a name?"

[CorvusSchnee]

This girl, Kim she had called herself, was starting to remind Kio of the younger and more energetic 'siblings' he had come to care for. In a way, he supposed that made her seem like a sister right from the start and thus all the more bearable. The other girl remained a mystery to him, an unknown factor. In some ways, she reminded him of someone he hd met before, though he couldn't quite put his finger on who she looked like. "Kio Silvers. As you can tell, I'm new here." Kio turned his attention back to the duels taking place a distance from them. "Do things like this always happen? I don't know if I will find it easy to fit in if it does." The young man tousled his layered bangs a little, touching his deck pouch again.

"Yeah but not as bad as this. This is like Duel Period super sized.", said Regina stopping beside her classmate,"Normally it's only one time period during the day, but the school extended it to all day today and brought in these Pros for us. Some kind of promotion thing. It just takes some getting used to." The teen's eye twitched during her last statement as she cast a glance towards Kim's direction, "Getting used to like a few other things around here.." Redirecting her attention to the new student, the teen eyed him for a moment before smiling shaking her head. "But, for her introduction, Kim was right about one thing..my name. It's Regina but few actually call me that, most people use Regi instead. Nice to meet yo-" Regina fell silent mid sentence as the same pulse-like sensation that had over come her during her duel with Lux Lumen hit her again. The green haired young duelist dropped the introduction and quickly cast her glance around the surrounding crowds .

[InfectedHau]

Regina's condition didn't go unnoticed. "Hey, Regi, you doing okay?" she asked, looking at her friend with concern. "You look like you just saw a ghost." She looked around the stands, following the path of Regina's gaze, but didn't see anything noteworthy. Just duels and spectators. Wait, ghost? Could Regi see ghosts? Or was it something else. Was Kio actually a vampire? Was Regina a vampire hunter? That'd be awesome!

"Vylon Disigma, direct-"
Lux paused mid-sentence, looking off towards the stands. Something was off. She'd felt it before, when she was dueling the girl with the green hair. There it was again. This duelist seemed unremarkable, he was barely putting up a fight. He couldn't be the source. Was it the girl?
She'd find out later. She was dueling now. "Vylon Disigma," Lux repeated, "direct attack."

[CorvusSchnee]

For a swift moment, Kio's eyes narrowed as the marks of Number 13 and 31 flashed in his right and left eye respectively. Just as swiftly, his face had returned to its usual nonchalant appearance. "If ypu're in a slump, duel your troubles away. Kattobingu. That's what I learned from the man who inspired me. I myself believe there is no better way to get to know someone than by dueling them." True enough. A person's dueling style was unique ro them. Even if two people had the same deck, they would always have their own styles. As for what he had earned from that man, he was not lying. Those words had served him well since he had heard them."So would you like to duel me, Regi? It might help you get over what is troubling you."

[wolfrunner]

With Kim's words cutting through her thoughts the girl turned her attention back to her fellow students and nodded. "Sorry, I haven't been feeling myself lately but it's nothing more serious then a few spacing out episodes. I'll be okay though.", Regina replied in an attempt to reassure her friend that there was nothing wrong with her. After giving the other female duelist a teasing shove, Regina was silent for a moment as if considering the young man's offer carefully. Finally the green haired teen grinned,"Kattobingu? That's an interesting motto but I agree with you. Though I'd rather duel someplace a little less crowded and with less distractions."

[InfectedHau]

"Ooh, ooh!" Kim said excitedly, jumping up and down on the spot and delivering a punch to the shoulders of both other duelists, "I know just the place! Come on, I'll show you!" Without waiting for them to say anything in the affirmative, Kim ran off into the school building proper, not bothering to check if the other duelists were following.

[CorvusSchnee]

Yes, Kim was most assurdly just like one of his younger 'siblings', so full of energy that seemed to be without restraint. Shaking his head in exasperation, Kio followed after the girl as swiftly as he could without breaking into a run himself. No need to hurry when he needed to learn the school layout anyways. Hopefully the place she was going to take them would be open enough for his dear friends to play their games. Turning to check if Regi was also following, Kio voiced his thoughts aloud. "She sure is energetic. Kind of like a child, but maybe with a bit more maturity."
