[Slightly Late Dream Event Post]

[kattobingore]

*Oh Yuma, always late to everything!

Due to the lingering effects of Cosmo Queen, you may find yourself stood on a ledge sticking out from the side of a large mountain. If you look over the side, you can't see the bottom of this towering cliff nor a way down, but if you look up, you can see the top a long way up above you. While looking up, you may spot what appears to be a young teenage boy who is climbing the side of the mountain, no safety harness or anything. Above him, at the top of the cliff, is the shadowy figure of someone else. You can tell by the build that this other person is male, but he is also shouting to the young boy, giving him encouragement.

"Keep going! Kattobing, Yuma!!"

Despite how the boy is obviously struggling to climb towards the man, the encouragement does seem to help him a great deal as his climbing beings to speed up, but as the boy reaches up with his left hand to climb further, the part of the cliff he has his hand of suddenly breaks away and the boy yells as he begins to fall.

Normally, this is where he'd wake up, but today he has YOU there and whether you know this is a dream or not, you can do whatever you want to help save Yuma. Call out a duel monster, fly, whatever takes your fancy.

Better save him soon though, he's falling fast!*

How quaint. Do you think they're still out there, little hero?

[kattobingore]

Of course they are and when I'm able to, I'm going to go find them!

*He seems very confident about that!*

[arknpcs4]

... I wonder if reality will respond to your wish.

::Looks up wistfully, your hair blowing in a breeze.::

Though, I do admire your spirit... hrm... What is your name?

[kattobingore]

Tsukumo, Yuma.

[arknpcs4]

::Their head pops down, thinking things through. Tapping their fingers. Raising an eyebrow.::

Tsukumo. ... That wouldn't by any chance be the Kanji 9, 10 and 9...?

[kattobingore]

Er... yeah. Why'd you ask?

[arknpcs4]

::Laughs, with that off track laugh again.::

That's really funny.

[kattobingore]

Hey! What's so funny about it?

[arknpcs4]

I'm...

::Points to their eyes.::

The 96th of 99, talking to someone named 99.

[kattobingore]

The 96th of 99 of... what?

*That explains the creepy swirling numbers in his eyes though!*

[arknpcs4]

Very bad people, to put it lightly.

::Crouches.::

[kattobingore]

*Well, that put Yuma more on edge. He steps back a little, creating a bit more of a distance between him and his creepy double. Though, despite feeling more on edge, his expression shows that he'd be ready to fight if he needed to.*

...so why did you help me before when I fell?

[arknpcs4]

... Because, I wanted to know what was at the top.

::Says this like, "Why would you even ask?"::

That and children screaming puts a bad taste in my mouth.

[kattobingore]

And now you've seen what's at the top, what are you going to do with me?

[arknpcs4]

::Jazz hands.:: Absolutely nothing.

[kattobingore]

*Yuma doesn't seem to trust his words. He glances sightly over the edge of the cliff, knowing that if he had to, he WOULD have to stand and fight. There was no other way down off this cliff he could see... except straight down.
His right hand wraps around the Emperor's key as his eyes stay firmly fixed on 96. If this situation does take a turn for the worst, he's gonna need some serious kattobing.*

[arknpcs4]

I have no issue with you, though I find you very very interesting.

Something tells me this won't be the last time our paths cross.

::Smiles a bit ominously.::

Good luck.

[kattobingore]

Good luck? For what?

[arknpcs4]

What might come. I'm very excited, all of a sudden...

::Let's themselves roll back and off the cliff, laughing.::

[kattobingore]

O-Oi!

*Yuma looks over the cliff edge, but 96 is now nowhere to be found. As he looks around for him, the edge of the cliff begins to crumble and it eventually gives way under Yuma's feet, sending him hurtling down with a scream...
...and riiight off his hammock in his room in Osiris Red.

He lands with a thud on the floor. It takes him a moment to collect himself and realize where he is.*

...what the hell kind of crazy dream was THAT!?

*But part of him felt that it had been more than just a regular dream...but that was silly right?*
