Bright, blue skies with only a few errant clouds dotting it set the tone for the day, the sun having free reign to shine down from above. It didn't seem like a droplet of rain would fall from the sky, not this day. The water misting fan rigged over one of the seats in the audience had been turned off. The occupant of the seat was not bothered by the sun shining down on her skin, heating up the entire body. She sat with her eyes closed, half-heartedly listening to the dull announcement made by the grandstanding showoff at the very bottom. This contestant, Õja Rura, respected Seto Kaiba only for his dueling prowess but not for his attitude.

Once the announcement was over, Rura was finally allowed to leave this overdesigned stadium and be left to her own devices. She waited for the crowd to disperse a little before getting up herself, unwilling to be caught in a crowd of weak-minded individuals. When she stepped out of the arena she was met with more blazing sunlight, two cards jutting out of her deck in response. Rura took them and held them up high in the direction of the sun. The shade the cards cast on themselves obscured their artwork but the levels three and seven, as well as the FIRE orb in the top right corner were all still visible.

"...Yeah, I know. This reminds you of home."

Rura muttered to herself and slid the cards back into her deck, taking a quick look around. Sticking around the amphitheater wasn't going to get Rura anywhere, but she still had to fill the day. She raised up the duel disk strapped to her arm and stared down at it for a few moments, then glanced at one of the guiding boards nearby. All distractions seemed like they would be fitting places for parts of her deck, but none of them looked interesting as a diversion. Still, the woman didn't have much choice in the matter. Rura headed in the direction of the safari park, mildly curious to see what animals this egomaniac decided to buy with his excessive wealth. It took some navigating and dodging people with the same idea as her, but eventually Rura found her way to the zone proper.

There were paths laid out to follow which were decorated to look like part of the environment, but it didn't seem like there was anything stopping visitors from going off of them and exploring on their own. Rura didn't feel particularly adventurous today and decided to go along one of the dirt roads, only mildly glancing to the side to see if there were any animals around. She eventually came to a more dense tropical forest, with thick foliage and unbelievably tall trees. The woman was hit with a wave of nostalgia and decided to take a break in the area, leaning against one of those trees and cooling off in the shade. Much like before, she took out two cards of her deck and stared down at them. This time they were levels four and seven with the EARTH orb donning their top right.

"...Daichi..." Rura muttered to herself, looking solemn and lost in thought.
