[ there is something... different about yuugi. just looking at him, it's obvious. his face is sharper, his eyes are narrower - and instead of purple, aren't they kind of red? his hair has changed, with more blond streaks through it than usual. the expression he wears is so unlike yuugi, too; he's smirking, and it looks almost threatening. he gives off such a menacing aura that it's hard to believe he's the same person.

he speaks in yuugi's voice - ]

Listen up. I'm only going to warn you of this once.

[ - but he uses it differently. he speaks with bold, confident language, and it's harsher than yuugi's gentle, polite speech. ]

Stay away from the people that I have met on this community. They're my precious friends and I won't allow any others to come near them. Is that understood? Anyone who disobeys will face a Penalty Game for their insolence. I'm not going to tolerate others trying to steal what is mine.

I won't be pleased to hear that those friends have been seeking out other people behind my back, either. It's best for you to only speak with me.

If everyone understands... then let's all get along nicely, hm?

[ his grin is terrifying, and it looks, frankly, insane. ]

M-mutou-san?

[twotailmechanic]

[Guess who's affected too?] And what if we don't want to? It's not like you could get to any of us, stupid. [He's assuming that he doesn't have a worldhop, so he's not exactly afraid.]

[dualer]

Retasu-san. [ his voice softens, but it's still not quite right. ] You won't go against my wishes, will you?

[aquaticrush]

*shrinks back a little, but then digs her fingernails into her palms and takes a deep breath* What's wrong, Mutou-san?

[dualer]

Ah? Isn't it possible for me to get one of those "worldhops" that come so easily around here?

[dualer]

Nothing's wrong. I only want to know that my friends are safe - with me.

[ the emphasis he puts on the end is sharp and dangerous. ]

[twotailmechanic]

[He narrows his eyes.] Not if you threaten people like that, moron. Who would be stupid enough to do that?

[aquaticrush]

There is something wrong. You've never been this possessive.

[dualer]

[ he chuckles darkly. ] I'm sure there are certain types of people who would still be willing to help me, with a little persuasion.

[dualer]

Having friends is new to me. I've come to realise that they could easily be taken away, and I won't let that happen to me.

[ he says "me" like he's talking about a different person; in japanese, it's even more noticeable, because he uses a more bold pronoun for "i", and something humbler for "me". ]

[aquaticrush]

"You"...? *blinkblink*

[makewayforroze]

Are you all right? Is someone bothering you again?

[She doesn't know him well but this is weird.]

[oceanicbreak]

Are--are you okay?

[dualer]

Hmm? Yes, me. I'm talking about myself. Is something wrong, Retasu-san?

[dualer]

Not yet, but I'm issuing a warning just in case. I have to protect my friends, after all.

[dualer]

I'm fine. And as long as no one tries to go against me, that won't change.

[makewayforroze]

Who are they being threatened by?

[aquaticrush]

I'm worried about you, Mutou-san! You wouldn't try and keep the people around you from being close to anyone else. Something is going on. Something is wrong and I want to help you!

[oceanicbreak]

Why would anyone go against you?

[twotailmechanic]

Just try. There's plenty of people on here who could kick your butt easily.

[stillneedawish]

Y-Yuugi-kun?!

[ no... no, wait, that can't be right. this doesn't sound anything like Yuugi at all. a virus? probably, but then-- ]

... Wh-what's a Penalty Game?

[dualer]

You're a good friend. [ he smiles genuinely, this time. ] I know you wouldn't betray me. If you're so concerned, you can help me just by staying away from anyone else.

[dualer]

Madoka-san. [ he seems genuinely pleased to see her, at least, but... ] Ah, that? It's a form of punishment. You can think of it as... exacting justice.

[dualer]

Because people are selfish, and cruel. I have no doubts that they would take my friends from me at the first chance they got.

[dualer]

Everyone.
