[One] / Not a good time for pulling

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

[The view comes on to -- ewww, is that a tongue? Yes, yes it is, because the one who just turned this thing on was what appears to be a Deino, staring at the screen as much as one of those little things can stare. From the... rather skewed angle, it looks like it's broadcasting from the inside of a room somewhere, though it's a little hard to tell where.]

Nnn...

[The Pokemon perks up at the sound, picking up the Xtransceiver (surprisingly without eating the camera this time) and turning around to the figure in the bed it's standing on. The boy's looks are certainly unique, what with the snowy blue-white hair, but he seems to be heavily bandaged for some reason and clearly caught in a nightmare.]

Can't... I can't...

[The thrashing gets a little worse, until the boy sits straight up, eyes wide and sweating.]

Malik!

[He blinks a little, the daze slowly falling off his expression as he looks around, rubbing his face until his eyes settle on what is apparently the Deino off-camera.]

...Uh.

Deino!

...I think I completely messed something up, there.

The hell do you think??

I got 'm from him! Wound up in a coma for over a month...

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

[WHOA WHOA WHOA.

Just... back up here.]

...That's impossible. I was just fighting him a few minutes ago! ...Or hours? How long have I been asleep...

[Video]

[used_frustration]

WHAT??

[HIHHHHH NO NO NO NO NO-]

N-No way! They said he was gone! COMPLETELY GONE, there is NO FU...

[It appears someone is now having a panic attack in the middle of an ancient ruin beneath the ground, not the best of things.]

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

C-Calm down! Take a breath, please!

[OHGOD HE DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE SOMEONE HYPERVENHILATE. D:]

It... he's only been "there" a short time. I saw him appear. I don't know what you're talking about, I'm sorry.

[Video]

[used_frustration]

.... [Lots of suspicious in his face now...]

...Where did you meet 'Malik'...

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

[Oh good, he's not the only one feeling totally weirded out by this.]

On the airship, during Battle City.

[Video]

[used_frustration]

[. . .]

That's entirely impossible I'd have remembered a Bakura-alike.

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

Bakura and I don't look that alike.

[Pause. Kurt manages to snatch his glasses from the end table, putting them on and giving a good look to his conversation partner.]

...I don't remember seeing you there, either.

[Video]

[used_frustration]

You've both got white hair, good enough. [STRAIGHT FACE.]

...The hell are you from a parallel dimension? [HE WATCHES DOCTOR WHO HE CAN ASSUME THIS SHIT.]

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

[Hilariously enough, so does he.]

Hm, that actually would make sense, wouldn't it? I wasn't an actual duelist, but I was the one who fought Malik.

[He shivers again, but gestures at the bandages on his body.]

[Video]

[used_frustration]

Yea well I wasn't exactly willing to try my hand at cards against the psychopath either.

[Scars dear fellow, scars.]

So how'd you do it then? Ishizu give you her necklace too?

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

No, she tried to stop me from going after him.

He...

[Euyg. He rubs his arms a little. This is not a fun thing to admit.]

He... was toying with me, I think. I think he didn't really want to kill me, but all the reasons I can think of for why that would be are... sickening and disturbing, at least.

...So... he gave me a chance to transform and throw him away from me. He... I think I broke some of his bones when he hit the wall.

[Video]

[used_frustration]

. . .

Trans...Form...? [What.] You didn't visit any weird-ass temples did you...?

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

No, I'm...

Well, you know what the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is, right?

That's actually me. Or I'm it. Or... something like that.

[He really has no idea how it goes, but...]

[Video]

[used_frustration]

WHAT?

Your 'ka', 'shadow' whatever is THAT??

Shiiiiit...

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

No? Yes? I don't know.

It's not something I use, it's an actual part of me. I'm the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

I don't know, no one ever mentioned any of this! It was just "Hey you come here away from your stupid friends and learn not to turn into a dragon every time I summon a card!"

[Video]

[used_frustration]

What.

[Huhhh...]

Last I checked shadows didn't work like that..? I mean my soul-monstery thing is like a dinosaur but... [He laughs.] It doesn't jump out unless I say so!!

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

Um, I think...

Well, don't quote me on this, but I think I don't have a soul-monstery thing. I think I am a soul-monstery thing.

[Video]

[used_frustration]

You sure?

I mean I can see where the confusion sits but... [He holds up an... ARM..??? WHAT IS THAT THING.]

...See? Like a second body, y'know?

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

Yes, I'm fairly sure. I can't do a mid form like that, just all or nothing. And I barely got control over my other self just recently, but it wasn't as if I was taking someone else's form.

I... it felt like my own, real body. There wasn't anything else there but me.

[Video]

[used_frustration]

Hnn. Sounds almost like what the Verz things were trying to get me to do...

[Hihhhhh. He visibly shudders at that.] Not reversible that...

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

...Should I ask?

[Video]

[used_frustration]

I dunno. I barely believe it myself... [He rubs a now human hand on the back of his neck, shaking his head.]

[Video]

[dragonbehindblueeyes]

I won't, then. I don't even have the answers to myself, I don't think I need more to that.

[...Ah, but this is rude.]

I'm Kurt Wolfson. A pleasure.

[Video]

[used_frustration]

Huh. Welp.

Name's Ryuzaki- seeing how you're mentioning stuff from my world, you'd probably know me as 'Dinosaur Ryuzaki'..! [Mini salute! ...Ryuzaki you do NOT look like yourself...]
