Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

One by one, as the tournament progressed, the referees, when given confirmation, discreetly issued special invitations to those participants they saw had the potential they were looking for...

They couldn't exactly go flashing the viewers around, or customers would confuse it for new merchandise and start asking questions, but the owner managed to confirm what they could all sense. He gave nods when they looked to him, and allowed the match to go on as normal.

All the Duelist Society needed to do now, was wait and hope their prospects could follow simple instructions:

1. Open Once You Are Alone, No Sooner

2. Tell No One You've Received This Invitation

3. Come to Old Domino City Cemetery at Midnight Tomorrow Night, For An "Invite Only" Secret Event

4. Further Instructions At Cemetery Gate

5. Come Alone

6. TELL NO ONE

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

Update coming tomorrow, for real this time

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

@RickyG85 last few days were just pretty bad and busy for me so I've just not had a chance to write my ideas down. I finally have a character concept and a deck list, so I can get those sent in soonish hopefully but likely not until wednesday unless a miracle occurs. I definitely don't want to hold things up, so feel free to keep things moving and I'll catch up somehow.

@VarionusNW

No worries, man. Incidentally, I wound up not having time to post today, so there's still time for more posting before I move things along

@Digmata@Randomguy@Double@The World@VarionusNW@King Cosmos@Kero

Alright, not a bad start!

Seeing it in action (Thanks, World), I have to admit the duelbook log is better suited to a rp focused yugioh rp than my initial plan. I'll still encourage players to do whatever they're most comfortable with, but duelbook is pretty solid.

I'm going to move things along with my next post, tomorrow.

Edit: NW, still with us? If you're ready to post, I can give you a little more time

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

@Kero@Product@VarionusNW

Still time to submit characters, if you're still interested.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

We got this thing started! (Throws confetti) now let's see how long we can keep going, safely past one of my bigger hurdles:P

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

<Snipped quote by Double>

Duel disks are a thing, but they aren't common; pretty sure they are only used by the magic duelists. Duel Monsters is a niche hobby in this setting, not an all-consuming juggernaut like the show, so this should just be a regular store tournament with games at tables.

@King Cosmos

That is correct

@Digmata@Randomguy@Double@The World@VarionusNW@King Cosmos

working on the opening post, as we speak.

@RickyG85

ok, posted a simple intro, everyone feel free to introduce their characters as they go through the "torunament", no pressure on post length, of course, do what you can/feel is appropriate at the time.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Perils of the Night

Old Domino City

Kame Games

A crowd had gathered around the famous game store, that evening. They were hosting a surprise duel monsters tournament, which was still their top game!
The owner and operator, Yugi Moto, had a strong reputation among their patrons for carrying on as close as he could to what the previous owner, Solomon Muto (his grandfather) would have wanted, including prioritizing the experience of their patrons, and keeping the spirit of the Heart of The Cards alive.
Of course, this wasn't just a surprise event, meant to raise peoples' spirits and ease anxieties in the wake of the "freak lightning storm" that had the superstitious citizens wringing their hands.
No, Mr. Moto had ulterior motives...

Inside, all the duelists they had room for on the roster were seated, and ready to begin! There were 32 in total, and people were excited, even if there wasn't a huge grand prize in store for the winner. The people were just eager for a distracting spectacle, and spectating a popular card game would have to do, for now.

From up at the second floor, looking out from the landing, Mr. Muto couldn't help but smile. His long red hair was tied back, although the blonde locks were still hanging free. He wore Solomon's bandana like an eyepatch across his left eye, and he'd long since left behind his blue school uniform, having traded it out for more casual clothing, save the navy great coat he often wore. He smiled to himself, You would have loved this, Grandpa. And... I don't know how well I can support Joey, now that he's lost his sister... We can't find Tristan, either... We're hurting, without your guidance, but... He lifted a card shaped spy glass to his good eye, and scanned the contestants. Our enemies have never acted this boldly, before... Something is wrong, but I know, if we trust in the Heart of The Cards, we'll find stronger hope, tonight...

There were a dozen volunteer referees, but 4 in particular seemed intense as they appraised all the contestants- with name tags that simply read "Valentine", "Gardner", "Wheeler" and "Burke". Remember, Yugi had instructed them earlier, It's not necessarily the winners we're looking for; I'll be watching for the one's with the REAL potential, the one's we need. Trust your instincts, but if in doubt, look for my signal, and issue the "special invitations", discreetly...

The chatter hushed quickly when the shop owner/organizer raised a hand (after putting away his spy glass, before anyone noticed it), "Everyone, thank you for coming to our community morale match! It warms my heart to see this turn out, my grandfather would have been proud to see it! His first priority was this community, that's why we've always been a safe and friendly place for the youth, and everyone who keeps the joy of games in their hearts! It's only fitting we honor his spirit in these uneasy times by coming together, in the spirit of sportsmanship, and friendly competition! With that-" He sliced his hand down in a chopping motion,

"It's time, to Duel!"
