In front of a cafe, sipping on a hot drink, you may see Cyril, pen in hand and scribbling notes. Unlike the last time you might have seen Cyril, he looks... put together. Probably moreso than he has in a while. His hair is the obnoxious 'trimmed but I'm wearing it messy anyway', face clean shaven, and his eyes seem to be a rather intense blue. But, most bizarrely, he's dressed in ancient Babylonian-esque clothes, dyed brilliant blues and purple.

If looked at closer, he's leaving small scorch marks on his cup and pen. Occasionally he will look up from his notes and look around, as if he's nervous or waiting for something. Maybe it's you! It's probably not you, but you should bother him anyway, he probably hasn't seen anyone in months.

"Tha's kinda weird." He frowns at the thought of 'been dueling and skating for a while.' Frowns... shrugs. Overthinking is the enemy.

"Maybe she got picked up by people fer showin' some talent, gave the Su-...Yuki a run fer 'is money."

[3_s33s_what]

Yeah, she really stood 'gainst 'im pretty well, all things considered.

I mean, she still lost, but that could've gone either way.

[crystaline]

The feeling of "authority" never leaves a person. It's... ingrained, even if someone tries to act like a pauper instead of a prince.

*picks up her ice coffee, nodding in thanks, and taking a sip*

The fire, though? Of course, yes. That's a little obvious, just maybe. Do you usually have trouble controlling it?

[azuremagma]

"Yeah, that's what I'm sayin'..." He pauses, considering.

"Do ya even duel much anymore, Shades?"

[3_s33s_what]

When would I even get a chance t'. *he says that half-serious, but then shakes his head*

Nah, I sorta fell outta doin' it t' any real use. I still duel a bunch 'gainst Sanko though since she needs it for assignments.

Honestly, I kinda miss Ridin' Duels more than anythin' else, but they're not really in style anymore.

[azuremagma]

"Yeah, I guess? It's been... a long time since I've been anything but Cyril 'round 'ere."

He frowns at that last bit.

"Not usually. 'ell, I ain't been able ta use the fire for a bit, 'less I got really angry."

[crystaline]

*... smirks a little, but it's more like she's joking around*

Did I make you lose control, perhaps?

[azuremagma]

"Fuckin' 'ell Shades, the ogre kept my bike. Once I get, uh... my deck all sorted back out, y'wanna at least go ridin' fer a bit? Maybe a duel or two?"

[azuremagma]

He snorts, but isn't outright dismissing it.

"That an' an ol' friend made me realize that I missed bein' a person o' authority."

[3_s33s_what]

... Sure actually. 'd like that.

I wonder if Speed World even works still with th' updates an' th' interface...

[crystaline]

Ah, so a combination of circumstances. Well, at least I can sleep easy tonight that I'm not the cause of sudden combustion, right?

I know of someone else, who uses fire. But he's a lot more... fine, in it.

[azuremagma]

"Well, only one way ta find out. Man, we can try an' make ridin' action duels."

[3_s33s_what]

... T'be fair, I did have a thought on that.

But Action Duels are still all confined t' arenas. I wish they could figure out a way t' just... make 'em with duel disks.

[azuremagma]

"Ain't gonna be anything super big. Jus' mostly inanimate objects I'm touchin' right now."

He stops at that.

"On a smaller scale ya mean? ...'s Souha? 'e's the only other pyro I know of."

[azuremagma]

"Ah, tech ain't there prolly." He laughs.

"Ya put a track in the arena, boom, ya, me, an' the other twelve people in the world 'oo miss ridin' duels can 'ave 'em."

[crystaline]

His name isn't Souha, no.

This one uses flames like they were threads, to him. He's very skilled.

But he also has the same... Sense of authority, that you do, in a way. *sipping her coffee* Not the exact same though.

[3_s33s_what]

Y'know, 'd dispute that, but that prob'ly is th' rough amount 'f folks who're left who'd wanna spend money on gas, now that Momentum is kaput.

[azuremagma]

"Ugh, that kinda sucks. Fuckin' paradigm shifts. Man, can ya imagine if it takes ta long? Gotta stop fer pit stops, fuel back up."

[3_s33s_what]

Kinda like one of those big car races, yeah.

It's why I was thinkin' 'bout how Action Duels could work in it. Did y'know people ride monsters in those things?

[azuremagma]

"Prolly less rough 'round the edges." He hrms, taking a huge swig of the coffee.

[azuremagma]

"...What? No, I didn't! That's fuckin' sweet. 'oly shit, I'm prolly jus' gonna get back an' binge watch action duels. Huh." He lets out another laugh.

"'ow the 'ell do we spirits work if we summon ourselves to the field with that shit?"

[ancient_prophecy]

::Walking by in a cloak, and just. Stares.::

[azuremagma]

He raises an eyebrow.

"Yeah, it's robes, but I ain't obscurin' my identity at least."

[ancient_prophecy]

I'm not exactly obscuring my identity, Prince of the Sea of the Azure Inferno.

::Who is this teenage twerp wearing a cloak and acting like she knows of you.::

[azuremagma]

He pauses at that. ... lights a cigarette.

"Yeah? I ain't got any fuckin' clue 'oo ya are anyway."
