First Bond - Getting one's bearings [video/action]

[planetary_bonds]

 [Looks like someone new has arrived in Nuvema Town. Naturally, one of his first stops would be the lab, so any newcomers will see one Fudou Yuusei nearby it. He seems very interested in the new device he's acquired, however, and is examining all its new features, until...]

...Ah. 

[Seems like someone has just turned on their video feed. Might want to work on your greeting there, Yuusei.]

HE SEES YOU AND HE'S WAVING.

Because heYYYY familiar face... Sort of.

"Oiii Yuusei..!" Hahaaaaa! "...Hahh... I haven't seen you with that jacket in ages..!" Grinning and oblivious, this one.

...Where the hell are your glasses.

[planetary_bonds]

Ah, Crow!

[There's a vague expression of relief mixed in with his happiness to see a friend here and safe-but even then...Crow, what on earth are you wearing?]

Meanwhile, I can't say I've ever seen you wear that... [Confusion. You have it, Crow. At least he's comfortable enough with you expressing that.]

[os_blackbird]

"Mn?" Looking over himself now. "Oh, yea I got some things while in the Patch Village..." What. "...My old ones were mostly destroyed, haHaha!" WHAT-

WHY ARE YOU GRINNING THIS IS TERRIBLE.

[planetary_bonds]

Patch Village?

[Crow, watch out. He's reverting back to his default expression. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.]

[os_blackbird]

"Yea. Somewhere in the states." Even he doesn't know, whoops.

And- "Bastards dropped me from the plane with everyone and told us to find it ourselves too..!! I barely made it!" AAAAGH.

[planetary_bonds]

Crow.

[He does not sound happy.]

Why were you dropped from a plane, and why don't I know about this?

[os_blackbird]

"Err... I didn't really have a phone..." AHAHAHAHAH...

"I was going to explain once I found one..!" HE SWEARS.

[planetary_bonds]

[A sigh.]

What were you doing in the states anyway, Crow? With the WRGP coming up, I wonder why you'd be off in the States anyway. Something come up?

[os_blackbird]

...

Wow has Crow ever made a lineface? EVER? "....Yuusei... ...WRGP was three years ago..."

[planetary_bonds]

[Immediately, Yuusei returns with his own patented lineface. There might or might not be a narrowing of the eyes here.]

...Clearly, something isn't adding up here.

[os_blackbird]

"Ah- Y-Yea, clearly..! I thought you'd just pulled out your old jacket..!" WHAT IS THIS MADNESS. "...Also contacts..."

[planetary_bonds]

I don't use contacts.

[os_blackbird]

"Last I saw you, you had glasses." ...Is his shrugging response. "Side effect from dueling over a pit of turning momentum apparently."

[planetary_bonds]

I don't use glasses, either.

[The rest is left unsaid.]

[os_blackbird]

Staring.

Staring.

sTARE... "AAAAAGHHH..." WHAT IS THIS MADN-

"SutaaaH!" sHUT UP STARLY.

Right, Crow's ignoring the bird that loves his head, and crossing his arms. "Dammit..! This must be what Judai meant when he said 'different worlds'..." Ah...

Judai, you say?

[planetary_bonds]

That was what the old man by the Entralink mentioned, as well.

[And then he blinks.]

Juudai-san?

[...Crow, Yuusei just used an honorific. Gape in awe.]

[os_blackbird]

"Eh? There was someone there after all..?? Hn. Empty when I was..." WAIT...

"Judai... SAN..??" WHAT IS WITH THE 'SAN' NO NO NO-

[planetary_bonds]

Mn. His behavior does remind me of you, Crow, but his dueling skills are to be respected.

[Why are you talking about him as if you know him, Yuusei.]

[os_blackbird]

"BUT..." HOW. "He's from 500 years before- ... I only met him after coming here, how-!?"

WHAT WHAT. "How did you know who he was..!?"

[planetary_bonds]

Where I come from, Juudai-san was a famous duelist from twenty years ago.

[He closes his eyes and sighs. Clearly, there's some huge differences between this Crow and his own friend. No matter. The similarities are enough.]

[os_blackbird]

"Twenty..!" HOW....

He'll just... Stare... "Mahhh... I never thought I'd be asking this so much, but..." Hahhhh...

"What year is it where you were..?"

[planetary_bonds]

2027.

[os_blackbird]

Endless sighing.

"...2500." WELP.

[planetary_bonds]

I see.

[There's a vague quirk of the lips.]

Regardless of some differences, you're still Crow across timelines. That's somewhat of a relief.

[At the very least, you're still someone he can trust.]

[os_blackbird]

Beat.

And grin. "Heh! Got that right..! Even from another time, we're still friends..!" ...Somehow.

Though... "O-Oii, does that mean you can't see ghosts then..." wat.
