*Comes out of hidey hole*

Oh hi Lugu.

*Goes back in*

Naraka

Gin Ichi

Gin silently listened as this "Yama" lady explained the nature of this "Naraka" phenomenon. It all sounded quite grand, and he would never have believed it were he not in this current situation. Looking at his hand, he wondered just how effective his new abilities would be. Yama may have said that they would not work where they were right now, but that certainly did not stop Gin from trying it all the same. He stared at Yama and tried casting it on her, but it naturally had no effect. With that result, Gin decided not to try his luck any further and instead continued to listen.

The rules and rewards of Naraka were certainly troubling, but not surprising given the circumstances. Any one wish could be granted by the winner, yet the cost was the lives of everyone else participating. Gin thought about what his wish would be, and a thought came to mind: the smiling children of the orphanage. That being said, though, Gin had no desire to kill anyone. Save self-defense, he had no desire to even hurt anyone. He already went through some dark times, and he'd rather not go through darker ones. It seemed like he might not get a choice in the matter, however...

As Yama concluded her explanations and Naraka began, Gin awoke to find himself back at the church, where he had originally fallen asleep. He briefly wondered if what he had gone through was merely a dream, but one look at his clothing, as well as at the nearby window, told him that that had been no dream. Naraka was real; one person was going to die each day. Gin stared at his hand, then concentrated, activating his powers to test them out. A small bit of concentration and time was all it took to use each one, and if his understanding of them were correct, then they were very straightforward as well. There was little training that was needed for him, though he figured he could use some experience in actual battles.

Gin now thought about what his next course of action would be. He had already been seen in his priest robes, so the church would probably not be a safe place for very long. Any competent person would narrow his location down to searching through churches. He needed to find a new place to hide and rest up between Narakas. For now, though, there was no rush. If he was thinking correctly, he'd have some time during the first Naraka as people took the time to figure out their abilities, just as he did. That meant he would need to use his time wisely.

First up was a quick change of clothes. He'd be too inconspicuous if he went out with his priest robes, so he decided to go with some casual wear. A simple pair of jeans and a collared shirt would do the trick. Next would be to secure escape routes and shortcuts. "Let's see if I still remember how to do this..." Gin muttered to himself as he stepped out of the church. It was time to get to work.

WELCOME TO KAIBA WORLD (Yu-Gi-Oh! Roleplay)

During the whole announcement, Gin was in a silent prayer, keeping his eyes closed and his palms together, while still listening to Kaiba's speech. It was a beautiful day outside, with the sun's full glory high in the sky. It was only natural he pay respects during the Light's prime time. The sun's rays were quite warm today, actually, but that only served to strengthen his faith as he prayed. Besides, his dark clothes were made in a way as to disperse heat and keep him cool, so he would fare better in the heat than most.

As he finished his prayer, it seemed like Seto Kaiba had also finished his speech. Watching Kaiba go, Gin wondered if he would have the pleasure of challenging him. Gin's Duelist pride made him tense up in anticipation, but the moment passed and he soon calmed down. Right now, though, he had other things to do, like figuring out where he should go first. After a moment's time, he quickly decided that perhaps he should find someone to travel with. He'd take in the sights, make connections, and above all, have fun. The question was, who should he follow?

Gin looked around, but didn't really find anyone who caught his eye. There were some odd ones around, such as the one with the football helmet, but no one he saw so far really interested him enough. As he turned, however, someone did just that. To others it may have seemed like a minor detail, but to Gin, it was just what called out to him. Someone was holding their cards up to the sky, specifically in the direction of the sun. Was that person a believer of the Light as well? Gin tried to make his way over to her, but he was a fair distance aways, and the girl was already on the move. Nevertheless, Gin persisted, having lost sight of her but soon finding her again. She acted as if she wished to avoid contact with others, but Gin would not back down from finding a potential follow of the Light.

While Gin had trouble keeping sight of her, she kept following a path, which made it easy to follow her. After going down a dirt path, Gin finally managed to catch up to Rura. "Excuse me..." Gin said as he approached her, out of breath from following her path the entire time. "May I have... a moment... of your time?"

WELCOME TO KAIBA WORLD (Yu-Gi-Oh! Roleplay)

I've been wondering something fora while @KOgaming...

Does the Deck Master have to be the one listed in the CS? I seem to recall Deck Masters in the anime changing every Duel, like Yugi's DM and Kuriboh, and Kaiba's Blue-Eyes and Lord of D.

WELCOME TO KAIBA WORLD (Yu-Gi-Oh! Roleplay)

I'm still here. I'll try to get something up today.

WELCOME TO KAIBA WORLD (Yu-Gi-Oh! Roleplay)

Haven't been very motivated lately, but I'll try to see what I can come up with.

Naraka

Gin Ichi

Gin's life as a priest was always busy, but he never grew tired of it. The beginning of his day in the very early hours of the morning was delegated to taking care of the church itself. Of course, that meant cleaning and other bits of maintenance. A few hours with a broom, mop, and other cleaning supplies were more than enough to tackle that, though. Then came those who seeked guidance from God, whether that be to recite prayers, find repentance for their sins, or other things.

The children did what they could to help as well, but in the end, they were still only children, and eagerly set out to play once the daily duties were done. Gin didn't mind at all, and did his best to entertain them as they played together. Of course, Gin still had other chores to tackle, so he could not stay with them all the time. He made up for it at meal times, though, and the children ate happily, despite there only being simple meals. At last, the day ends, and the children are tucked into bed. Gin gives off a content sigh, happy with the life he currently had, before setting off to prepare for the next day.

Along the way, he falls asleep, tuckered out from all the work he's done.

This time, though, things changed from his normal routine....

Gin wakes up to find that things are no longer what they used to be. Instead of the ceiling of the church, he finds himself staring upward at a red sky. Rather than his head resting on a table, he is lying down on a field. Clearly, he was no longer at the church, which only begs the question: where was he right now?

First things first, though. A quick check of his belongings revealed that he was ready for outdoor travel at any time. Wallet, glasses, bible, cross, all accounted for and ready. A look around his surroundings showed that he was not alone, either. In fact, quite a number of people were around him, both awake and asleep. However, one person that really stood out from the rest was the woman in the center, dressed as what appeared to be a witch. What she began to say only made her stand out more:

"The Naraka System should be providing you information on your Assiah, Yetzirah, and Beriah at this time."

The What System? At first, Gin couldn't make sense of it, but the information soon appeared in his mind, as if it had been there this whole time. It was.... odd, to say the least.

"Allow me to congratulate you. For being partially aware of your existence's core desire, and for having a core desire strong enough to be made manifest, you have been chosen as participants of Naraka. Once you are all on your feet, I will explain what this arrangement has been made for. Do not be panicked, you are in no danger at the moment."

Gin pondered over the woman's words for a few moments, taking it in. This Naraka, whatever it was, was clearly no game. He had been through enough dangerous events to recognize it as such. What concerned Gin was what was going to happen in the future. For now, though, he would simply stand back and listen as he began to determine what his new abilities were capable of.

Things were going to be... different now, and he might as well be prepared to make the most of it.
