G-guys— [ yuugi sounds panicked, and his voice is trembling, like he's on the verge of tears. there's shouting going on in the background, but it doesn't obscure what he says. ] Everyone, I'm really worried... Right now, me and my friends - our lives are definitely in danger here!

[ he takes a deep breath, but explains very frantically, still bordering on hysterical: ] Kaiba-kun invited me and Jounouchi-kun to his mansion, but it was a trap all along... Everything he and his brother have done has been to try to kill us! Grandpa was sent to hospital because of Kaiba-kun, and now we're all stuck in his "Death-T" amusement park. It's insane...! Jounouchi-kun had to fight a real serial killer just to get us through one of the stages, and we've— [ his voice cracks, but he manages to push onwards. ] We lost Honda-kun to that last game...

I... I won't think that we're going to die here, though! Because I have faith in all of my friends... I believe that Honda-kun is still alive, and that the strength of my friends will support me - and... the other me...

[ this seems to be what he was leading up to, because there is an audible pause as he steadies himself. his voice comes out more composed, but a little nervous. ]

I just wanted to confess... Having just told my other friends, it didn't feel right not to say anything. There's... another me... another "Yuugi" that lives inside of me. He's come out a few times, so you might have met him already, but he and I... We'll definitely win this, and we'll come back safely. So, please believe in us!!

[ .. That's a whole lot to take in at once, Yuugi.. Usagi sure tries, but she loses track halfway through in her worry. What's that story either way, someone.. died..? Maybe? And they're stuck and in danger and oh god, she's panicking. And since it's Usagi her emotion easily shows. ]

Y.. Yuugi-kun, will you really be okay?! It sounds super dangerous..!

[dualer]

I'll be okay, Usagi-chan...

[ it's times like this that he wishes he had the confidence of his other self. he does have faith in his friends, and in the other yuugi, and he has gained courage because of it. but the other yuugi always seems to know just how to reassure their friends. ]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared, but I have to believe in myself. I can't be a coward anymore. Even if you don't think that I'm the kind of guy who can do something like this... you can trust the other me. I know he won't let us down.

[selene]

Well.. I don't know that other you, really.. [ She did run into him, but it's not like Usagi realised the difference, actually. Whoops. ]

But I believe in you, Yuugi-kun! I do for sure..! I know that when it comes down to it, you're brave and.. um.. you just can do it! The only reason I'm worried is since it all sounds so dangerous, you know..?

[dualer]

It's dangerous, I know. So I'll be careful! But it's something that I have to do. Oh— [ should he say something? well, he doesn't want to get credit anymore for the brave things that his other self has done... it doesn't feel right. ] You've met him once, though. Um, at the mall, with the zombies... I wasn't there at all. It was the other me who went through that.

[aquaticrush]

Mutou-san! Please be okay!

[dualer]

I will, Retasu-san! I haven't come this far just to lose to Kaiba-kun.

[aquaticrush]

R-right. I believe in you. But... there's another Mutou-san?

[dualer]

Yeah. Um... Do you remember when I was with you during that zombie attack? [ he can't remember it himself, but he and the other yuugi had "talked" about it in greater detail not long ago. ] That wasn't me. It was him.

[death, multiple personalities?! this was all too much for natsume, but as she watched she nodded at yuugi, her own eyes filling up with tears, the worry for her friend plagued her facial features.]

Um... I want you to win, you just have to! D-don't die whatever you do! And as for this other person ...erm... t-tell him that I'm cheering him on too, both of you!

When you return, because I know you will, we'll share yakisoba pan together!

[dualer]

Sure! I'd like that a lot, Natsume-san. Ah... [ he can almost feel the fury of his other self right now, so maybe that personality won't be a great conversationalist, but... ] He's going to come out soon anyway, so do you want to talk to him before we have to go?

[internetfamous]

S....sure!

[SHE'S PREPARED!]

I'm ready so bring it on!

[dualer]

[ there is a moment of silence, and when yuugi speaks again, his voice has changed; it's a little deeper, with some kind of strange force or confidence in it. ]

Natsume-san? [ he's just here to fight mokuba, why is this happening. damn it yuugi. ] Did you have something to say to me?

[of_many_treasures]

You sure you don't need someone teleporting you out of there? I can do it y'know.

[dualer]

Thanks, but... I think I have to do this. I can't always be such a coward. [ he gives a sheepish chuckle. ] And I get the feeling that the other me would be upset if we gave up like this. He wants to fight.

[of_many_treasures]

That's fine, just come out of there alive. Every puzzle has a way to solve it.

[dualer]

Right! Believe me, if there's anything we can win, it's games. Even if they are part of Kaiba-kun's Death-T!

[oceanicbreak]

Good luck. And be careful. Especially if the other you comes out.

[dualer]

Actually, now that I know him a little more, he's not such a bad guy. I'm not scared of him anymore. He really does just want to help us.

[oceanicbreak]

Okay. He just seemed a little, well, extreme. Though that might have been a virus. I'm just worried what might happen with him when your friends are in trouble.

[dualer]

It was! Um, a virus, I mean. He's really sorry about that. And I think he'll try to be less... scary from now on.

[plainflush]

I-I don't know what we can do to help but if we can, um, we would. I hope your grandpa's okay and that you get out of there asap!

[dualer]

Thanks! Really, just having the support of everyone is enough to help me... and I promise I won't let my Grandpa down!

[anothersoul]

Do take care. Win this game if you must.

[dualer]

I will! Not just for Grandpa and my friends, but for me as well.

[anothersoul]

Of course, no one would want to perish in such a place.
