let's see if I remember how to lj

[nomorevisions]

*There seems to be an Isis with a shopping basket hanging from one arm standing between two stores (Big Bill's Cat-Shaped Balloon Emporium and Dramatic Coats 4 All) and looking mildly perturbed.*

A wrong turn, maybe...?

*Perhaps she's new. (Yes.)*

Comments

Well hey I remember you! =D

[ourlittlequeen]

[There was one girl coming down the hall the other way, but when she turns a corner and spots Isis the gal stops, stares wide-eyed, and then morphs into another girl who actually speaks up.]

You. [Yes, you! Woman with mysterious connections to what's going on in her world!

Except you probably aren't her, huh.]

haha, hi

[nomorevisions]

*...*

...Yugi?

*DID YOU GET A NEW HOBBY...*

^-^

[ourlittlequeen]

[....definitely not her.]

-no.

[And she'd say she was "Yuumi" but last time they spoke the woman called her "pharaoh".]

[nomorevisions]

I see. My apologies. You resemble a friend.

*But that's silly, Yugi isn't in Egypt.*

*...Nor does the normal Yugi generally look so stern. But he's gone, so that resemblance is even sillier.*

Can I help you...?

[ourlittlequeen]

A friend?

[Since when has that been the case? And since when did she become an echo- Wait that thought might not be hers- partner.]

Yes, I- I thought so.

You're definitely the woman I met, but perhaps you aren't the same one.

[..because that makes sense.]

[nomorevisions]

*...Well. She's not exactly unfamiliar with bizarre situations.*

Perhaps you should start from the beginning.

[ourlittlequeen]

There isn't much to say.

[Beyond the tales of kingship and destiny and dangerous things to come.]

I only met 'you' once, and I was coming over to ask you about that.

[nomorevisions]

Well... I can try to help you if you still wish to ask.

But first, could I have your name? I'm Isis.

Watch mun try to remember HOW secretive Isis was.

[ourlittlequeen]

Isis?

[Curious, but if she's offering answers she's willing to give what Isis's double already knew.]

Most call me Mutou Yuumi.

[nomorevisions]

*Hmm... Things are becoming clearer. No point in losing her head over how this... is even remotely possible.*

I see. And what can I do for you?

[ourlittlequeen]

I wanted to know, if you knew who I was going to face in the tournament.

[-and given she's waiting to see if she'll even understand what she's talking about, the Sleeping Queen is more awkward than interrogative.]

[nomorevisions]

Tournament... Do you mean Battle City?

[ourlittlequeen]

Yes.

Then you do know about it.

[nomorevisions]

As I recall it, it happened some months ago. You met many opponents, so I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific.

And...

*If you're really him and still involved in Battle City, she's not sure how you'll respond to being addressed as "the pharaoh"...*

I apologize if this is rude, but are you the other Yugi? Or, perhaps I should say the other... Yuumi?

[ourlittlequeen]

-it's already passed for you?

[Well that just opened doors she wasn't even looking to crack. She just took her prophecies to a new level!

Either way, she gives a curt nod in answer to "Yuumi" - is Yugi some relation or alternate of hers where Isis is from? - before pressing on those specifics.]

No, I was just going to join the finals when, we came here. I haven't seen "you" since the museum.

[nomorevisions]

The finals...

*Should she... say anything? Would that alter the balance of events?*

*It used to be so easy to know exactly how much to reveal, but these days she doesn't have the Necklace to guide her.*

May I ask why you want to know?
