[OOC] Gauntlet Threads
...It seems like a good idea. So yeah. Here is a list of the conversations at gauntlet_rpg that Manjoume has been involved in.
Entries
March 18 :: Draw 1 :: Return from the Different Dimension - In which Manjoume, trying to hide exactly how upset he is over the alternate universe business, complains about how his sense of normalcy has once again been shattered.
:: Joshua Kiryu [RU] - In which Joshua notes that Manjoume isn't the only one who seems to be feeling this way. Manjoume doesn't exactly care to talk to him, to be honest.
:: Riku [RU] - In which Manjoume and Riku catch up slightly, and Manjoume is a pessimist who thinks that there are going to be more anomalies.
:: Oliver Day [RU] - In which Manjoume and Oliver say hi, and Oliver manages to get Manjoume to smile ever-so-slightly about the situation. After all, at least the Captain isn't trying to kill everyone this time, right?
April 16 :: Draw 2 :: Dark Scorpion Retreat - In which the Hawking is being invaded, and Manjoume, useless in this situation, takes it upon himself to hide in his closet from the danger.
:: Sakuraba Neko [RU] - In which Neko assures Manjoume that she's going to be taking his advice and staying put in her own room as well.
May 30 :: Draw 3 :: Hyper Coat - In which they're stuck in the baleen of a space whale, and Manjoume decides that he's tired of being useless so he's going to help cut everyone out.
:: Tenjoin Asuka [OU] - In which Asuka wonders if she should also go help, and finally learns about Manjoume's ability to see spirits. Despite how in his own universe, she knows this well.
:: Joshua Kiryu [RU] - In which Joshua and Manjoume lament the fact that the space suits are the same ones as those aboard the Crucible. You'd think they would have improved the style after all this time, after all.
:: The (Tenth) Doctor [RU] - In which Manjoume and the Doctor discuss the Ojamas, specifically why it would not be a good idea for them to ride inside the space suit with Manjoume.
:: Sakuraba Neko [RU] - In which Neko asks if Manjoume needs a hand.
June 7 :: Draw 4 :: White Knights Lord - In which, while captured by the First, Manjoume has a special cell-mate: himself, except not. Specifically, White Thunder.
:: Joshua Kiryu [RU] - In which Joshua digs up at least a few pieces of the truth behind what Manjoume does not want to talk about ever, and eggs Manjoume on into starting to move on from what happened and not let it haunt him anymore. In his own special Joshua way.
:: Molly Moon [OU] - In which Molly suggests that the best way to deal with White Thunder would be to ignore him, and so the two of them chat, eventually culminating in a discussion about Duel Monsters. He offers to teach her how to play, once they're out of there and he has his cards back.
:: Sakuraba Neko [RU] - In which Neko learns about White Thunder, though perhaps not all the details. And she insists that the Light would have nothing that she would want, despite White Thunder's assurance of the contrary.
:: Tenjoin Asuka [OU] - In which Manjoume and Asuka discuss, in vague enough terms, the Hikari no Kesshas of their own respective worlds, while Manjoume throws his shoes at White Thunder for being a moron who won't shut up.
June 23 :: Draw 5 :: Despair from the Dark - In which Manjoume wakes up to find that he's gone blind. After a solo discussion with his Ojamas where they all freak out, and after Yellow offers to be his eyes until things go back to normal, Manjoume heads to lunch, because darn it, he's hungry and he's not going to let the anomaly win. Meanwhile, the air smells like thick chocolate and the fried prawn tastes like someone mixed carrots into the recipe, but what are you going to do.
:: Oliver Day [RU] - In which Oliver, who is still deaf, checks up on Manjoume, and they vent a little at each other over the situation. (Well, Manjoume does most of the venting, while Oliver is playing the eternal optimist as usual, but.)
:: Molly Moon [OU] - In which Molly, both deaf and mute, checks in on Manjoume, who vents a bit more. The plans to teach her Duel Monsters are brought up again.
July 18 :: Draw 6 :: White Veil - In which Manjoume is hallucinating that he lost to the Light, Asuka is dead, her soul is destroyed and her body taken as the Light's new host, and he is being tortured and infected with the Light's power so that he will soon be the same way. Of course, it isn't real, but try telling him that when he's in this state.
:: Joshua Kiryu [RU] - In which Joshua (who is still sane for the moment) fishes for information while he has this chance, realizing that there isn't much he can do to help.
:: Molly Moon [OU] - In which Molly (who is also hallucinating) taunts Manjoume, telling him that he should just give in if it's inevitable. Of course, the one thing the Light can't break is his unwillingness to give up even when there is no exit to the proverbial tunnel of despair.
July 29 :: Draw 7 :: Tribute to the Doomed - In which Manjoume, who is rather stressed out due to various things, is methodically trying to search through the Red Forest Maze, and gets attacked by a water trap.
:: Sakuraba Neko [RU] - In which Manjoume and Neko decide that exploring together would probably help, and they both comment on how they're relatively useless.
:: Oliver Day [RU] - In which Manjoume tries not to snap undeservingly at Oliver despite his frustrations with the general state of things, and they talk about how the anomalies are annoying and how Manjoume would really like to go back to some semblance of normalcy.
:: Amaterasu [RU] - In which Ammy asks Manjoume why the Red Forest has turned up. He doesn't know.
October 14 :: Draw 8 :: Call of the Haunted - In which Manjoume decides that he's going to follow the music of his own free will and swim out to the undersea temple himself, rather than having it make him. Not that this reasoning makes all that much sense if you think about it, but hey, it makes him feel better.
:: Oliver Day [RU] - In which Oliver's optimism might have had more of an effect on Manjoume than he'd like to admit aloud. Maybe.
Logs
March 16 :: A Meeting of Two Duelists :: with Tenjoin Asuka [OU] - In which Manjoume and Asuka meet up and attempt to sort things out. The undeniable truth eventually surfaces - the only way that this works is if they're from different universes.
Threads (in others' entries)
March 15 :: Sakuraba Neko [RU] - In which Manjoume and Neko say hi to each other again after X amount of time, discussing how much time has passed in their respective timelines and how nothing of any real note has happened for either of them since. Also, they make definite promises to teach their respective games to the other.
March 15 :: Tenjoin Asuka [OU] - In which Manjoume discovers that Asuka is here this time. Also she thinks he's been sacrificed. They agree to meet to sort things out.
March 16 :: Marufuji Ryou [AU] - In which Manjoume discovers that the Hell Kaiser is also aboard... and he controls ice and thinks that it's possible to spend the summer with Fubuki and Fujiwara. The only way that this works is if they're from alternate universes as well. Also, a promise is made for a duel to happen eventually.
March 17 :: America [OU] - In which Manjoume stares at the weird guy who claims to be the United States of America. And gets a headache. Which is partially due to the Ojamas thinking that America looks fun, but no one needs to know that.
March 24 :: The (Tenth) Doctor [RU] - In which Manjoume stares at the Doctor for having turned green all of a sudden. The Doctor then shares a bit about what happened on Eos, which turns into a discussion about people who force you to try to eat things you don't like because they're healthy for you. Somehow, this conversation then manages to segway into a discussion of alternate universes, and eventually sheds a bit of detail on Duel Academy as it is in Manjoume's world. (Which is pretty much run the same way as in canon except with slightly different staff and students and stuff, but.)
March 31 :: Sakuraba Neko [RU] - In which Manjoume gets pessimistic about anomalies again. Also, he learns that when he first met Neko, she was dead. And details about the Reaper's Game, and the fact that she had been murdered. Oh yay.
April 1 :: Marufuji Ryou [AU] - In which the Hell Kaiser is making ice sculptures and being so cheerful that it is downright disturbing, though Manjoume tries ever so hard not to say anything about that.
April 8 :: America [OU] - In which Manjoume states that he can't reveal America embarrassing himself if he doesn't know how America did so (which he doesn't because he decided not to pay attention at the time), and he learns that America thinks that his friend England is the incarnation of the country. Does he believe this? I don't know.
April 8 :: Tenjoin Asuka [OU] - In which Asuka is affected by depressants, and Manjoume is worried.
May 1 :: Sakuraba Neko [RU] - In which Neko takes him on a tour of her Shibuya via the Atropos Holosuite.
May 22 :: Hanekoma Sanae [OU] - In which Manjoume and Hanekoma discuss the elephant-armadillo things that have invaded the ship.
May 26 :: Oliver Day [OU] - In which Oliver thinks Chloe's around, and Manjoume, due to being overly happy thanks to an anomaly, expresses interest in meeting her. Not at the bar, though - Manjoume is underage and doesn't feel any need to break that law.
June 9 :: Tenjoin Asuka [OU] - In which Manjoume tries to help Asuka to deal with her doppleganger. He also learns that she has a crush on Judai. Though, he doesn't comment on it - who knows what his opinion of that is.
June 10 :: Oliver Day [RU] - In which Manjoume tries to help Oliver deal with his doppleganger, and at the same time gets rather pissed off at both Oliver's and his own.
June 18 :: The (Tenth) Doctor [RU] - In which the Doctor helps Manjoume to build a device that will get him out of his cell, seeing as most of this duelist's creativity lies with cards, and he is too stressed out to even begin to attempt to apply it anywhere else on such short notice by himself.
June 21 :: Oliver Day [RU] - In which Oliver has been rendered temporarily deaf, and Manjoume decides to check in to make sure he's okay.
July 11 :: Tieria Erde [OU] - In which these two discuss the stalking shadows and how things smell bad because of them.
August 19 :: Oliver Day [RU] - In which Oliver extends a party invitation to the entire crew, and Manjoume, in a zen mood thanks to the trees around the Gerostana, decides that this party could be fun to attend.
September 1 :: The (Tenth) Doctor [RU] - In which they discuss the visions that they've been receiving, and Manjoume notes his discomfort with psychic visions in general.
Other
August 9 :: In which Manjoume encounters the buttons where he must decide to forget or remember the encounter with the Cedirra. He chooses to remember, and receives a vision.
If I've missed anything, please let me know!
