[Event Post]

*Regardless of who appears at the park, a figure stands in the middle of it during the early evening hours of the 27th.

One most likely wouldn't recognize him as the copy of Kantai Sekuta that's been causing trouble recently-- what with the blueish-white hair, the armor, or anything else about him. But, he is waiting, ready to strike once the real one makes his appearance.*

(( This is mainly for the purposes of threading with myself in order to resolve things. However, I am still willing to generally thread with people if one has any ideas. ))

*They immediately notice Sekuta as he comes, his swords appearing in his hands.*

Surprising. I guess you actually do hold to your own word.

Maybe I'll make this swift for you. As painless as possible.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*linefaces slightly at the swords appearing. And then just looks annoyed at the words*

Why do you even need to kill me, anyway? I'm willing to compromise, if it were possible.

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

Compromise? Hm, there's nothing to really compromise, here.

This is nothing more than the objective. To either kill you... Or for you to grasp what you want.

*he gets into a stance that's fit for countering*

I just wonder. What will you choose? Die quietly with the least amount of pain, or struggle futility with your abilities, despite the boost in power you've undoubtedly received so long ago?

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*hisses somewhat, clenching the hand that has a ring on the finger into a fist*

Grasp what I want? Just what are you even talking about? Why do you even exist?

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

I exist because you wished for this. You have all the chances in the world to get what you've desired, and yet you make no moves for it, due to your own disgraceful lack of motivation.

*He looks down upon him, as he walks towards him.*

So, what will it be, hm? Will you struggle, or will you give up?

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

Keh... You think I'm going to give up over any of this?

*Small spikes of ice form between his fingers*

I don't know what you speak of, but lack of motivation or not, I don't want to die.

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

... Hm. *smiles slightly* Good.

Though I realize... This is a bit of an uneven match-up, isn't this? *He points to Seku with the tip of one of his swords*

If I get one hit on you, you won't be able to handle the pain of metal through your flesh. I can counter your throwing those spikes at me easily, and you have little arm strength to handle an outright attack... And your legs wouldn't be much better.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*hisses to himself. How can something that's supposed to be me talk so much?!*

So what are you suggesting?

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

Duel me.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*... that had to be the shortest thing he's ever said.*

... Duel you? We're going to stake this upon a game?

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

It would be an equal grounding to you. It would give you a clear chance of succeeding, if you have the will to do so. And I think we can both be trusted to keep to our ends of the bargain.

In fact, it can be win-win for you. If you win, you get your wish. If I win, I'll make your death swift and clean... As long as you don't struggle.

*His swords vanish, as a duel disk appears on his arm, and his form shifts to yours, Sekuta*

Do you accept? I even went and got your disk, after I got the idea. *he gestures his head towards a bench where a bag is*

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*looks annoyed at you taking on his form for this, and then looks irritated at the idea that you broke into his room again. He goes over to the bag, and finds the duel disk sitting inside. ... He puts it on, and takes out his deck to shuffle it.*

Hm. I thought I set up something to drop onto people who walked into the room.

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

Set up... Oh, you mean all of that red powder on the floor, hm? I saw it strewn around with tracks from the doorway to the bathroom.

*shuffles his own deck and inserts it*

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*... it quickly becomes apparent what happened.*

Damnit, Souha...

*inserts his deck, and then stands across from him*

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

Hm. Now, don't curse her over it, she doesn't need that. Have you even given her the gifts I bought for her?

*disk activates*

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

The "gifts"?

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

Those perfumes and cosmetics. I wanted to let her choose first while I gave the other to Ai. I was hoping you would catch on that it was for them.

You may go first, if you wish to. Since I'm merciful.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*... draws six, then*

I have not touched that bag since initially looking. It is a source of annoyance.

*he slots in a card into the field zone, as the park turns into a wasteland* The Eternal Battlefield, activate.

Summon Snake Scout, and set one card. End! *A Brown Snake appears on the field in front of a face-down card, hissing at the Guard*

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should. I think the both of you would enjoy it... If you survive this, of course.

*Draws his cards, before immediately activating a card*

Mystical Space Typhoon. Destroy the set card.

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*His card, Offensive Measures, ends up shattering, before his battleground proceeds to freeze over, as the Guard slips in his own field spell*

Hm. "Enjoy it"? I know you apparently got those from that Labirinto store I go to, but I doubt there's anything there that we'd outright enjoy.

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

*Frozen Wasteland has been activated, an unearthly chill accompanying the freezing of the field*

You should pay more attention. There's a high number of things there that could probably make life more enjoyable for you, if you ever cared to look.

Summon Cowardly Ice User, and set one card. End. *Much like the Scout, a young man with pale-blue hair and red eyes appears in front of a face-down card, keeping himself at a distance from the snake*

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*Draws*

I look plenty. Summon, Snake Sniper. Attack directly!

*a Black Snake appears, before rushing at his opponent. Cowardly Ice User attempts to stop it, but one hiss from them and they quickly move out of the way, allowing for the Sniper to bite into the Guard's leg.

8000 > 7300*

Scout, attack into the Ice User!

*the Scout attempts to bite into them, before... Caskets close on both of them.*

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

*smiles*

Hm. You obviously don't look well enough. Activate, Magical Dimension.

*his side's casket opens, revealing that his Ice User has been replaced by an older woman with flowing dark blue hair and white eyes, carrying a large staff and 2600 ATK to her name*

Come, Master of the Frozen Wasteland.

*knives then pierce through the other casket, shattering it and the monster inside*

[thefrozenstorm.livejournal.com]

*Hisses as the Scout is destroyed, before staring at the Master. It only figures, dueling against his own deck, basically...*

End turn, then.

[guardsthestorm.livejournal.com]

*He draws, before pointing at the Sniper*

Master, take care of them. *The Master responds by waving her staff, causing the Sniper to freeze over and shatter, hitting Sekuta with the backlash of ice shards.

8000 > 6800 LP

He then sets a monster next to them*

I end. Do try to fight back, here.
