Deep breath in. Deep breath out. In. And out again. Gradually, with a lot of effort, Aya managed to stop her heart from bursting out of her chest and making a mess of the upholstery. She'd barely even paid attention to what the girl in front of her (Behind her? Like, she was behind her on the bus, but in front of her now, how would you ever write that down?) had been saying, but it seems she didn't really have to. Matt was introducing the two of them to the small pack of kids who had turned up. [color=f7976a]Is anyone hurt?[/color] She heard someone say, and she shook her head, not really registering who exactly it was who had spoken. 

"...And if that sound is anything to go by, the evidence is on-hand. The culprit will be found. Eventually. I hope. That aside, since you've done me the honor of not having to speak first, I hope you don't mind a self-introduction... Especially seeing as how you and your seatmate have already begun to hit it off. My name is Yukishima Ayumi, and I'm to be living in the Dark Magician House. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."  [color=yellow]"Well at least no one's hurt."[/color] Came another voice, closer to Aya. [color=yellow]"In case you missed our introductions, I'm Matt Ronwell of the Dark Magician House, this is Aya Tsukasa of Utopia House. Nice to meet someone body else from my house, though I hear that's not so uncommon. You said you use Kajus?"[/color]

That got her attention. She turned her head, looking almost over her shoulder back towards Matt again. Seemed so strange, in her eyes to move so quickly from card games when barely a minute before, she'd been staring at four pounds of clay ceramic death moving very fast and incredibly close. She pulled out her deck, currently in a hip-side holster, and began shuffling it slowly and deliberately. It was relaxing, like lighting incense. Just what she needed right now, after the excitement and shock. [I]"Ive always liked being able to play both sides of the game."[/I] She mumbled, like some sort of excuse."[I] "Used to play Artifacts and Graydle too, but right now i'm just using Pur-""[/I] 

[color=yellow]"I'm afraid I'm not my well versed in my archetypes so that doesn't help me much. Truth be told I only started playing very recently because I won my current deck in a... Game. My deck is just a big gamble, or perhaps a bunch of little gambles. Either way I came to this academy because I know very little, though I hope to learn a lot."[/color] That threw her for a loop.

[i]"So what, you're going to a big prestigious Duel monster school and don't really know how a lot of Duel monsters is played? Just how good are you?"[/i]
