I PICK THE ... um. 10th!

[note_atem]

[Challenge accepted, as usual. And how could he not? As he's walking down the hallway it's very hard to mistake that flaring trench coat. The height might seem a little off, but hey he's not that obsessed with his rival to notice right away it's Kaiba's job to be obsessed.

And as such he has a spark of hope immediately.]

Kaiba!

[thinkin_arbys]

...So I have to keep trying.

[COOL! Now the glare is legit!]

[note_atem]

[Ten Kaiba points! He grins again, unable to help himself for the moment.]

What's your name?

[thinkin_arbys]

[HECK YEAH~]

Ho--Rossi. Donato Rossi.

[So. Many. Pseudonyms.]

[note_atem]

[There might be a small eyebrow arch at her seemingly slipped up name. He won't judge though because he doesn't exactly give everything away at first greeting either.]

Atem. [The name he gives back is said with the utmost confidence and pride.]

[thinkin_arbys]

[Hand extended for handshake!]

I've only been here a few months; it's good to meet interesting people.

[note_atem]

[The gesture is reciprocated after a minute pause, and it's a strong shake he gives in return. Though he does pull back from it, and the topic, almost a little too quickly.]

I don't know if I'd label myself interesting. [He's hoping that costume shop, for whatever reasons they had his hair on display (weird as hell as that was) wasn't giving out information. ...or didn't have any to give out, since he's trying to act like he's super normal. Can't you see how normal he is with his leather get up and eyeliner and gravity defying hair and...]

[thinkin_arbys]

[And a firm handshake returned!]

Well, you're telling me about this person I'm dressed as, so I would imagine you have had as exciting a life.

[Oh what? No! We're all normal here, totally normal--boring, even! Definitely this guy is NOT a cross-dressed nun, absolutely not, no way.]

[note_atem]

[Yep, yep completely boring and normal people on the Thor. Nothing to see here.]

I guess in terms of my world I was a little more interesting. Kaiba is my rival in Duel Monsters. I hold the championship title for King of Games. [At least he and Yuugi did, it's more Yuugi's than his but he's gotten so used to saying it that he doesn't think twice about it during introductions.]

-..but in terms of people on the Thor that's not very interesting. [He wasn't a Pharaoh or a spirit or saved the world or anything. None of that.]

[thinkin_arbys]

[Man, at this rate it's a wonder everyone doesn't just stay on a planet! ALL THE PEOPLE ARE SO BORING!]

...I am equally uninteresting. I race horses; I was poised to place in an endurance race before... this happened.

[note_atem]

[Boring boring boring-

But hey at least he perks up a little at that.]

I used to ride horses all the time when I was younger.

[thinkin_arbys]

Did you? I did as a child, and only recently started again. I had a very able mustang of my own.

[note_atem]

Ah. [A nod.] I don't think I've seen any around the Thor, though. [Which would make sense probably.]

[thinkin_arbys]

No, I wouldn't think horses on this would be very practical. Maybe we'll visit somewhere that has them. I wouldn't mind riding again.

[note_atem]

If we do I'll look forward to a race. [This doesn't seem so bad and he's actually glad he ran into you, Kaiba cosplayer.]

[thinkin_arbys]

I see. [A quiet chuckle.] You'll have to get in line. I have someone else I'm going to challenge first.

[NOT A COSPLAYER! This is cruelty~~~~~ But she looks pretty cool, right?]
