Welcome to Gaia! ::

(One Seto Kaiba please?)

Jounouchi quietly made his way down the streets of Domino, heading for the Kame Game Shop. Ever since the Other Yuugi had left, the blonde had been acting different; talking less, smiling less... 'The Other Yuugi changed my life... as much as Yuugi, Honda, and everyone else did, if not more. He made me feel confident in myself... like I was worth something. Now that he's gone, it's worse than if he would've never come in the first place... I'm still having a hard time thinking of him as "Atem, the Pharoah..." Maybe it's because that would make it seem like he never belonged here in the first place. Always belonged in the past. Whatever it means, he will always be "The Other Yuugi" to me. I can't even imagine how hard this's been on Yuugi and Anzu if I'm barely able to take it.' He gave a weak smile to himself as he arrived at the Kame Game Shop. Not surprised to see the shop empty, he made his way upstairs, 'And Jii San (Grandpa) too... That's like two mentors in one.' Suddenly whispering to himself, "What am I thinking? It's Yuugi who's having the hard time. I shouldn't be wallowing in depression. I should cheer up to help Yuugi feel better." Forcing a cheery smile onto his face, he knocked on the door to the appartment.
((By the way, I love Otogi's shiney boots! XD))

|| funny thing about Otogi's outfit, Kitsu-chan. I was always into weird things, even before Otogi showed up I owned a pair of dangly white-dice earrings. I lost one, but I find symmetry boring anyway, so I was wearing just the one. One of my friends (who doesn't like YGO) said I was trying to be like him, and since my hair looks black (its dark, dark brown) I was thinking of cosplaying him eventually (leather pants excuse! ^.^; ) I've already done Bakura... I won't have to make a mill item this time, though I'll have to make his pendant. But I'm already doing Nico Robin from One Piece and Yuna from Final Fantasy for Sakuracon (in Seattle) this year, so I dunno when I'd do it. Plus, I don't know any YGO cosplayers crying ||

((XD That's so cool! I went to Otakon this year and cosplayed as Takeshi/Brock from Pokemon. I was one of like five Pokemon cosplayers there sadly enough. I saw quite a few YUU*GI*OU which made me happy. Next time I go to a convention (probably Anime Expo in California next summer. I live in Arizona and am not willing to save up all year again for a plane trip. The only reason I went to Otakon instead of Anime Expo is because I was meeting friends from all over the country there, which only one of them didn't cancel out in the end anyway... ~_~; ) Anyway, though it's more fun to cosplay in a group, it's still fun to cosplay alone, so if you want to cosplay as Otogi as much as Nico and Yuna, go for it! ^^))

((I've never played FF because I don't have a PS2, but I'm sure it's a great game. Probably up there with the Zelda games, right?))

((It does! Best graphics Nintendo's ever had, and on a well-deserving game! Sounds like you need to get a GameCube while I get a PS2! smile ))

((I hate it when that happens! Stupid drawer's block! Anyway, I think it will continue once Yuugi answers the door... ^^;; ))

((Well, I used to really really suck at drawing, but I practiced non-stop and now I consider myself above average. I still improve every year... so practice helps... ^^;; Heh, when I imagine Otogi in this story, he seems like some rich, cocky guy, walking down the street in his new clothes, smiling with his eyes closed and his teeth showing. XD))
