[Closed(?) Event Post - The Below That Should Not Be]

[duelacademynpcs]

::So Judai and Asuka meet together one night soon after hearing Kamala's story about a former classmate who shouldn't be.

It's in the maintenance tunnels. Probably darker clothes to avoid cameras and security as much as possible, and Asuka's advised against anything too loose because there is a lot of piping.::

Right...

Let's press on.

::It's then you two hear clanging, like two metal objects banging against one another.::

[i_like_red]

*Judai instantly goes on alert as he hears this and lowers his voice to a whisper.*

...what's that?

[danse_etoile]

... clanging...?

::Narrows her eyes.::

[duelacademynpcs]

Folgo, attack her Infinity!

::You what looks like a green haired young woman, not teen, but not as old as you or Asuka, with a Wolfman by her side. The wolfman unsheathes a katana and dashes at her opponent's monster, while also armed with a glowing green sword (4200 ATK).::



::On the other end is a woman in a red dress and combat armor and a Duel Disk, with a huge black knight vaguely resembling Yuma's Number 39: Hope::

You really think that'll end this in your favor! You should quit struggling and join me!

Trap Card, Soul Strike! If my Life is below 4000, then I can pay half my current LP, and then my monster gains ATK equal to the difference between the number post payment and 4000...

::(100 LP) -> (50 LP)::

In other words, it gains 3950 ATK! Making its ATK 7950! Counter Attack, Infinity!

::Her massive black knight reels its sword, slicing down at her opponent's offending wolfman.::

*Judai is watching what is going on quietly, keeping hidden, alongside Asuka. He isn't sure what's going on, but he notes the monster that has similar looks to Hope.

Whatever this was, he didn't like the look or feel of it.*

::Flung backwards into a wall (??? LP -> 0 LP). BZZZT.

Fortunately for you two there's some debris like a wall or column left over, to hide behind.::

[soundofarmor]

::Walks over, crouching.::

Be fortunate I'm busy right now~ Or I'd have a good long talk with you~~

::Pats the other woman on the head, before marching up a flight of stairs to a large door.::

[i_like_red]

*Judai watches all this, then looks over at Asuka. His expression gives a very confused 'what the hell is going on?' kinda look.*

[danse_etoile]

... None of this is familiar to you, either? What did we walk in on.

[i_like_red]

I have no idea, but whatever we do, we should be careful.

*Judai looks over in the direction the woman in the red dress went, then over at the woman with the green hair, trying to assess what to do.*

If the other woman leaves through that door, we could quickly get the one with the green hair and ask her some questions?

[danse_etoile]

Yes, that sounds reasonable, if we can do it.

::Whispers and nods.::

[i_like_red]

*Judai nods, then goes back to watching carefully to see if the woman in the red dress leaves the room via the door. That'll be their chance to safely get the other woman's attention.*

[soundofarmor]

::Flicks her hand as one of the doors opens, walks into what looks like an eerie large library, heels clicking.::

[i_like_red]

*Judai watches as she walks through the door, noting the library.
Once the door is closed, he slowly sneaks out from behind the debris and carefully approaches the woman with the green hair, keeping his voice low.*

Hey. Do you need help?

[duelacademynpcs]

::Groaning lightly.::

yes. why are you two here...?

[i_like_red]

We're investigating this place that's mysteriously appeared under the Domino Duel Academy.

*He looks over at the door, just to keep checking to make sure no one is coming back through it.*

We'd like to know what's going on here, but we should probably move to a safer place.

[duelacademynpcs]

Letting Hibiki inside there is too dangerous...

::Wincing, well aware they have no energy.::

[i_like_red]

Hibiki...?

*He recognises the name as the one that Leo Corp were after that was announced a while back.*

I'm curious, what is this place and that library?

[duelacademynpcs]

A dream of an unborn god that accidentally connected to an echo of a memory of the void...

[i_like_red]

Oookay. So what does this Hibiki aim to do here?

[duelacademynpcs]

Talk to Fujiwara Yusuke.

[danse_etoile]

... I don't think she means the current day one...

::Trying to see how much the woman weighs.::

[i_like_red]

*Judai looks over at Asuka curiously.*

Not the current day Fujiwara? So... it's some kind of other version of him, you mean?

[danse_etoile]

Kamala mentioned an invisible man, the woman mentioned an echo of a memory... magic to create a recording of yourself, so to speak, has to exist... right?

And I have a feeling of what stage of his life this would be from... and it's not a good one

[i_like_red]

That would make sense if it was some kind of magic recording of him from another time...

*He turns back to the green haired woman.*

What is this Hibiki planning to gain from talking with Fujiwara?
