Ink
Ink turned to the woman making crude gestures at him, apparently mistaking his hungry gazes as lustful. Maybe he should take offense, but he'd hate to taint his first impression to the entire army over something petty. That being said, not contradicting her meant admitting to her accusations, so he shook his head and decided honesty was the way to go. "You got it wrong. I'm just really hungry." This was the truth. "I had a light breakfast and the exalt just so happens to resemble a talented chef I once knew." This was Ink lying through his teeth. He could have just launched into a monologue about his curse, but fuck, what kind of first impression is that?

Not to say that the woman before him was exactly charming. Before Ink even looked at her, he could already sense that she wasn't anything special.

Analysis

To be more specific, Ink couldn't sense anything from her at all. She was about as magical as a sack of potatoes.

Regardless, Ink offered a genuine smile, exhibiting charm and friendliness in an attempt to smoothly shrug off the scene she had caused. "My name is Ink by the way. Who are you?"

On second thought, Johnny Yong Bosch might be a bit off (too high maybe?) for Ink. He could probably fit what I'd have in mind, but not through his standard voice.

As for Trim, his voice actor is alright, but the examples I gave are too lively. Trim would be less expressive, kind of like Cyrus, whom I never realized was voiced by the same guy.

Even Cyrus is a bit too emotive for him.

If I had to say, Ink could probably be voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch.

This guy

He's in basically everything.

Elena's voice would sound something like this person:

Like this, except with all the speed of Setsuna

As for Trim, my WIP character, it'd be something like Antony Del Rio, the voice actor for Pit/Dark Pit from Kid Icarus, Ekko from League of Legends and more relevantly, Cyrus from Fates.

He'd definitely trend toward Dark Pit and Cyrus though. I wouldn't exactly describe Trim's intended voice as emotive.

You have a tendency to say rude things frequently. It happens more of less every post and PM directed at me. Saying that interpreting it as hostile is "jumping to conclusions" has me falling into a fractal pit of misgivings with the patterns plastering Nathan Poe's face everywhere.

In any case, I meant to say that saying that you were jumping to conclusions was jumping to conclusions; You said that you were "jumping to conclusions" by thinking that Elly held out "to the bitter end" when that is exactly what she did. (And perhaps the only time she does anything admirable) You made it sound like she, and by extension I, gave up prematurely after you systematically removed literally all options possible.

As for the meteor analogy, it was probably poor. Freddie Mercury's words on suicide in every-day life is completely inapplicable given the context of the analogy. Even so, comparing death to the end of a duel is inappropriate because the analogy relies on a context of remaining life being a waste of valuable time, which is relatively easy to argue against.

I'm glad you've acknowledged me as your buddy.

@Menhir

You seem to be jumping to conclusions, friend.
I've called you "friend" in our PMs already. Despite this, I do not consider you my friend, pal. You've used "friend" back-handedly so much that it lost its meaning.

None of this really matters though, I suppose.

@KOGaming Now that Elly's duel and significant following interaction is done with, I'd like to quit this RP.

@Ryik
I mean, yeah, I guess so from a purely cardgames standpoint, but going by what you had down and how you described her I was under the impression Elly was one of those characters who hangs on to the bitter end and accepts their loss as a loss, since you were talking about how you wanted her to come off as dignified and stuff.

I guess it was myself who jumped to conclusions this time.

@Menhir

You seem to be jumping to conclusions, friend.

She did hang on to the bitter end. Only when all her options were exhausted and there was no possible way to trick her opponent into a sub-optimal course of action did she surrender. If there was a chance, however slim, that she could continue the duel, she would, but there wasn't, and relying on her opponent to go easy on her is something Elly would refuse to do.

e.g.

If a meteor is on its way and absolutely all options to stop it or avoid it have failed, you reach the bitter end, even if it hasn't hit yet. Is it not better then, to die on your own terms, perhaps in a painless manner, than to die to the meteor?

After all, you couldn't very well file a lawsuit against someone if you didn't know who they were.

@Menhir

It isn't the lady she would be suing. It would be the school.

@Ryik You still have a move, friend.
See, if you look at the bottom, you've actually still got 1400 LP.

@Menhir

It doesn't matter. No singular card in Elly's deck could do anything of interest in that situation, even if only to stall. She has no Pot of Greeds and it wasn't worth making a post in which nothing really happens to prolong things.

@KOGaming
Elly had to stop and look around her before concluding that, yes, this woman was talking to her. "Are you sure you have the right person?" Elly said as a wicked smile creeped onto her face. "Because I know you didn't just say you had cameras that could see this pitfall as it was being built." Elly folded up her duel disk with another horrific screech and crossed her arms. "That's a pretty messed up thing for campus security to let happen under their watchful eye, wouldn't you say? Why, just letting one of your students fall down here could constitute a lawsuit." Elly's face gradually approached a singularity of smugness. "And the first thing that's said to her when she's rescued is that she's a liar? I wonder what the media would think of this." Elly shakes her head. "If you had cameras, you would have known that I was grabbed when the pitfall swallowed me, but that's not that important." Elly walks back to stand directly in front of the woman. "The phone-call was a result of a misunderstanding of course, but not once did I say I was 'touched'. If you had some sick misinterpretation, that's your problem, not mine."

Elly was diced by the Yosenju and she fell to the ground, getting dirt all over her clothing. Elly picked herself up and drew her last, only to turn silent from a dead draw.

Amazing.

She muttered profanities under her breath. Just her luck, facing the deck that counters hers perhaps more than any other in the world. Not even anti-meta decks are this bad. At least those do poor life-point damage.

Even so, as much as she hated losing, Elly prided herself on never being a sore loser. Elly pressed the button on her duel disk to surrender and all at once the field dissolved.

No, now it was time for proper revenge. Elly walked up to her opponent with a menacing gait. My god, did she hate them, and she was about to show her hatred the way she knew best.

"Good game! Vanity's Cosmos aside, it was pretty fun! Not bad for an excruciatingly whiny abortion like yourself!" She would casually put a hand on their shoulder, leaning on them slightly. "I'd love to duel you again sometime, but I don't think we'll be able to. A promise is a promise my dear. I really don't take rudeness lightly." With a level of self-awareness that invokes Poe's law, she steps away with a cheeky smile and continues. "Now, as much as you might love resembling a pile of human garbage, I'd hate to have you in my presence any longer, so I suggest you lead the way out unless you want to further mar your reputation."

Also, @Ryik, I'm pretty sure I've never mentioned my man crossdressing. You do know a girl can wear pants, right? Pants are universal. And I still can't post until you've edited so let me know, okay?

@Menhir

I described the NPC I challenged as male. (referring to him as a boy and using male pronouns five times)

You decided that they were female, which establishes that they simply look like a boy. How much they look like a boy is up to your discretion, but to say they don't power-plays Elly's ability to perceive what is right in front of her.

It's been edited.

@manapool1 "Magic" is obviously just a street term for drugs, sexual violence and illicit pancake mix.
