Where: Gaming Carriage, Dining Carriage

Dining Carriage
Yugi never really used his notebook all that much, but today was a different story. Today was the day he was using it to jot down various notes. Pausing at each page he soon found himself frustrated ripping out the paper and simply leaving it to the side.

This happened at least a few more times as he sighed, leaning forward in defeat for the time being.

"None of those ideas work in a game format. Besides, I have to take into account what we actually have here and the technology we got to work with." And with that in mind, he was starting to play with the pen a little bit, soon finding himself deep in thought and not paying attention to those around him.

Gaming Carriage Part 1
Yugi had soon gotten an idea to play some of the games, see how they played, get some ideas of how everything worked. As much information as he could get to figure out his own idea of a game. So he had picked out a few games that he had somehow managed to not get around to playing or that normally he wouldn't have thought of playing, but he knew with playing them he could learn more about the mechanics of gaming and maybe that would help him in the long run.

So sitting in one of the bean chairs he started up the first game and started to play. Once again he seemed to be focused on what was in front of him and not what could be going on around him.

Gaming Carriage Part 2
After having played a few games Yugi was sitting in the bean chair and simply looking through his deck that eh always had on him. His thoughts soon were on an idea that had come to him during his last talk with Kaiba. Missions always seemed to involve fighting and Yugi wasn't the biggest fan of using violence. So he had been sorting out his deck for the purpose of an idea that he had in mind, something that he hoped would work in the next mission.

But he didn't want to let any of his friends or boyfriend know what he had been planning, mainly out of the worry that they might try and talk him out of it. So putting his deck away he started to look around to see if there was anyone close by before speaking up.

"Excuse me, can I ask you moment? It won't take long I promise."

Part 2

[deductiongeek]

Conan glances up from the game of solitaire he'd laid out.

"What is it?"

Re: Part 2

[sizedoesntmatter]

"I was just wondering... or wanting to know a bit about the missions we tend to do. Orange I know quite a bit about because well that's my team color, but the other teams are more fighting focused, right?" He didn't know if he went with a team which one he would be going for, so he figured that it was best to at least ask that question first right?

[deductiongeek]

"I'n on Orange too, so I don't have a lot of personal experience with the other teams. I do know that Red and Purple tends to get the most fighting assignments, while blue tends to get more assignments involving protection. The one Red mission I went on ended up in fighting wild animals, and the Blue mission I joined involved defending a military base from invaders."

Once, Conan would have tried to add an explanation about this about being a kid and of course he hadn't really been involved in other fighting.

But after some of the stunts he'd pulled on the train there wasn't really much of a point to pretending that he wasn't a ridiculously competent kid.

[sizedoesntmatter]

Yugi at least was listening to what he said and it was admittedly helping him a lot in what he plans to do. it gave him the best idea where he could at least attempt the idea. Red or Blue seemed to have the most fighting, so he figured his focus would at least be there.

"So...they do. That actually helps me a lot, so thank you for explaining what you could anyway"

[deductiongeek]

"Are you planning on trying some of the other missions?" Conan was curious.

Part 2

[goingthroughaphase]

Kitty had really just been looking for something to do to occupy herself, since she could only take training for so long. The Gaming Carriage wouldn't normally be her first choice, but she'd thought she might as well have a look around.

Though she actually had been about to leave and head maybe to the library when a voice caught her attention, and she turned around to find the other teen.

"Sure," she replied when she realized he was talking to her. "What's up?"

[sizedoesntmatter]

Yugi had for the time being put his deck away so that he could at least focus on talking to others and he was admittedly glad he at least managed to get someones attention.

But what was he going to ask? He had already asked about the teams and what thier jobs sort of were, the next best thing was to maybe figure out if distractions in actual battle could possibly work.

"This... might seem like an odd question, but this will be leading into another but until you came onto this train have you ever been on something like missions before?"

[goingthroughaphase]

The question caught her off guard a bit, and she hesitated for a moment. "Oh, um...yeah, actually. Before I boarded the train, I had been in the middle of one."

[sizedoesntmatter]

"Wait really?" That was honestly probably the worst time to have been pulled if he had to say so openly. "I assume from your world and not a different train like this one?"

part 2

[myblueskies]

"Yes sir!" Romeo had been looking through a couple of games, there were lots of games and there were still so many he hadn't played yet.

But he grinned at Yugi and went over when he asked if he had a moment. He was happy to help people at any times and he hasn't seen Yugi in a while!

"Do you need help with something?"

[sizedoesntmatter]

"Uh well... I've honestly just been thinking over a few things really. Mostly about the missions that we do. Can I ask what you do for the team you are on?" He paused for a moment before thinking to add to that. "Sorry if it comes across as rude, I'm just trying to figure a few things out, that's all."

[myblueskies]

"No it's not rude, sir!" He grinned, "I'm on the blue team!"

He sat down opposite him, "What did you be thinking about?"

[sizedoesntmatter]

"I'm just trying to... I guess figure a few things out before the next mission. Mostly if I want to try on another team and test something, or if I should just stick to my team and... maybe not be at all useful again." he knew he was learning things with Kaiba when they could, so that was something, but he still had his worries.

Part 1 - I dare to be different, lol.

[sell_tickets]

When he came in he might notice the man sitting at one of the front most tables playing a game that... certainly was never in the gaming carriage when Yugi had checked previously. It looked a little like chess. Though it wasn't quite. The board was almost right, alternating black and white squares making up a square board, and the pieces themselves were mostly black or white... They seemed to be made of opals, light opals and dark opals, so that colors swam in their depths as the light shifted. But there was nothing that looked like the king, or the bishops. In fact the only pieces that looked at all "normal" in shape were the rooks and the Queens. Also, pretty sure most versions of chess don't have dice. But the dice were there in the beautiful travel case the game clearly had come out of.... Most of the pieces were set at their sides, but he had the dark Queen and one of the dark pieces there were a fair number of in the center of the board, and was sighing a bit at them.

=o

[sizedoesntmatter]

Yugi found himself pausing for a time. It was certainly nothing like he had ever seen before and it honestly made him a little more curious. So he walked a little further in, coming to take a closer look.

"What... game is this?" he asked curiously now much closer than he had been before as if he was trying to study it.

Re: =o

[sell_tickets]

He looked up and gave the new comer with the... imaginative hair.. a smile. His eyes twinkled as though what he said in reply was some sort of joke.

"Chess." Now he was clearly and more obviously amused. "Care to learn?" he asked, gesturing towards the empty seat across from him.

[sizedoesntmatter]

"It's...not the same chess that exists where I am. So I am going to assume it's the normal chess from where you are from or the trains version of it that I hadn't come across." While Yugi played a lot of games, he never really thought much about playing chess.

[blitzcheer]

"You look deep in thought. What's up?"

Hopefully, Yugi won't mind the interruption from his notebook, Tidus with a drink from the tea machine and on the other side of the table, a small but friendly smile on his face. He knows that should mean to leave the guy to it, but he can't help but to be curious.

[sizedoesntmatter]

He looked up for a moment, another page having been ripped out and placed on the table in front of him.

"I'm just trying to create a new game that's all. Something new and fun and can be played with others, but so far... none have worked out."

[blitzcheer]

"Not an easy process, huh?" He sits on the bench, resting his elbow and drink on the table as he peers over at the crumpled paper. "You keep remembering games you know or something?"

[sizedoesntmatter]

"No, I think if it was, I'd be much happier." he soon shook his head slightly. "No, but some I made then I realized a mistake or two that meant it couldn't work out for the most part or just didn't make sense."

[draconite]

Oh? Yes! Of course! I'd be more than happy to help you out!

[ Does she look entirely too enthused about this? Is she just delighted at the opportunity to kill some time when she's absolutely dying of boredom? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding "yep". ]

What is it you need?

[sizedoesntmatter]

Just trying to figure a few things out.

[He knew that he was going to at least explain that a little bit more.]

When you have been on missions what is it you do?

[draconite]

Whatever I feel like doing, generally!

[ Bryn has been Worm Off The String since the day she was born. ]

I help out on whatever it is we're there to do, of course, but I simply do it in my own way rather than following along with the little tasks we're given to do.

[sizedoesntmatter]

Can I have an example? Say the task was to guide people from point a to b. How would you do it in your own way?

[It was more to try and get an understanding of what she meant, but what she said was at least interesting, doing a task in your own way rather than doing it the way one might think to. At least he assumed that was what is meant.]
