OOC: AUGH!
Okay.... whoops. I meant to put Beat Rush in Achan's hand from the beginning, but I somehow missed that part, and I've never played Ben Kai OTK so I improvised. I'm going to need to rewrite part of that duel now, dagnabbit. I'll try to improve on the idiocy there. Heheh. *sweatdrops*
Okay, I've figured out a way to come up with a different duel with the same ending moves and result, so my post will be edited shortly to reflect this. In the meantime, now that I'm not beating myself up I'm going to actually put a post in here. XD
IC:
Achan's cheek was stinging, true, but his honor was doubly bitten. Not only had he earned a second slap (from somebody he actually respected, no less) but his entire team had been watching. (Well, at least the members he had met so far.) It was bad enough when Michel had swaggered up to him and teasingly asked "Friend of yours, Achan?", but when Tacey started lighting into him, the last straw fell and broke not only the camel's back, but also collapsed the bridge that the entire caravan was standing on. Achan's frustration seemed to take physical form as he whipped around to face Michel, the wind around him blowing his hat off. Struggling to keep himself calm, Achan all but choked as he snarled "Never... say... that.... again." With that, he proceeded to march out of the alleyway, his hair still ablaze. Without meaning to, however, he slammed directly into a passing pedestrian. "Oomph!"
Achan's anger evaporated, for the most part, as he picked himself up. "Are you okay?" he asked, proffering a hand to the man he had just downed.
"Fine, thanks. Hey, do any of ya know the way down ta the Statue of Liberty?"
Achan's mouth dropped open as he stared at the person who he had carelessly crashed into. "J-Jonouchi Katsuya?" he stammered, taking three steps backward.
"That's my name, don't wear it out, nyeh." The older duelist replied, straightening himself up. "Love ta stay an' chat, but I've got a meetin' ta get to, so I'm gonna have to skip out on ya. So, do ya know the way to the Statue of Liberty?"
Achan slowly shook his head, before a flash of inspiration struck him. Immediately, he withdrew his GPS and called up the map. "Here it is," he said, showing the device's screen to the older duelist. "Right around here."
Slowly, a smile spread out across Jonouchi's face. "Thanks, kid. I really owe ya for that, nyeh."
Returning the device to his pocket, Achan smiled modestly and held up his hands in protest. "Oh, really, it was nothing..."
"It was? In that case, see ya!" Jonouchi interrupted before taking off running in the direction Achan had indicated.
Achan stared at the street. "Okay, so maybe it was nothing... but would it kill you to be civil enough to chat?" he groaned. Before dissapointment could fully kick in, however, Achan's mind pounced on what Joey had said before. He's going to a meeting at the statue of liberty. What on earth could that be about? With this on his mind, he walked back into the alleyway to face his team mates. In breaking the news, he decided to take the tactful approach. "Hey, you guys... I know this might be a little hard to believe, but I just ran into Jonouchi Katsuya. Literally. Anyway, he let it slip that he's heading to a meeting of some sort near the Statue of Liberty, and I know that we're supposed to be looking for our team mates, but... do you want to check it out? We could send an E-Mail to them or something saying we'd be there, so it wouldn't be too hard."
