Yu-Gi-Oh! Universe Meme

except yusei sorry kid we don't know jack shit about 5d's

RULES 1. Okay honestly we know all the rules post with characters blah blah blah moving on. 2. RNG, you can roll 1-2 for Original or GX or just pick, then roll 1-7 for your prompt! 3. There are no special magic millenium items christmas demon eyes shit because fuck that. 4. I'm not that far in GX I don't wanna fuck with that shit. 5. Shadow Realm shit is up to y'all, too, it's in both series. 6. HAVE FUN, ASSHOLES.

ORIGINAL
	1. SCHOOL Look, dueling's important and all, but you need a card game-free education. How far up the educational ladder do these children's card games interest people, or are you even a teacher who like to throw down a facedown every once in a while?
	2. FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC No seriously this shit can get you out of anything. And what better way to build it up than with some one-on-one's? So whether you're just hanging out after school, going on a sort-of date, saving your friend's ass from a burning building, or having some really intense feels up in here (possibly at their bedside?), your friendship meter is going up and that's what really counts.
	3. KAIBALAND Seto Kaiba may be the biggest douche in the world, but he's a douche with money and a theme park. What's that? You're not in Domino City, Japan? Well you know who has a lot of money and screws the rules? Kaiba. Kaiba does and fuck it there are Kaibalands worldwide and they have plenty of Duel Monsters-inspired rides, attractions, games, and prizes! And who knows, you might get a glimpse of the egomaniac himself if he visits one of his beloved parks.
	4. DUELING Ah yes! The whole point of the universe! Children's card games! But that's not all there is to Duel Monsters, is there? It's about sportsmanship, healthy competition, strategy, and having faith in yourself and the heart of the cards! There are many ways to duel, from the traditional table top method to the Kaiba Corp. duel disks that provide holograms. In this day and age, that's pretty nifty, but the disks are fairly expensive, despite being so common. However you do it, it's time to d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-DUEL!!!
	5. ATTENTION, DUELISTS! Oh oh oh what's that??? What's your hair saying??? It's almost time for another tournament to start up?! Well gosh golly gee, thanks for the warning! You may have just heard of this particular invite-only tournament three days before the boat leaves to the secluded island, or maybe there have been advertisements for the next big Kaiba Corp. and Illusion Studios-sponsored public games. Or, hell, maybe your school or local rec center is holding their own competition. It really doesn't matter, because it's PREP TIME! Gotta get ready and pumped and practice practice practice! Also get some better cards, sheesh.
	6. TOURNAMENT Holy shit holy shit holy shit you have been preparing for months or years or days or hours and it's finally here! It's time for you to shine, duel opponent after opponent and try to advance further in. You don't even have to be dueling, you could be resting in between matches, or be a bystander, or just be hanging out in the special duelists boarding (if it's just that fancy). It's like the Olympics, only clearly more important. Is this an invite-only, did you enter yourself (for a fee, maybe?), were you bribed or forced into it, or did you sort of accidentally just walk in and whoops? I wonder what the grand prizes are...
	7. DUNGEON DICE MONSTERS It's nothing like Duel Monsters! Totally! Just look at the creator, does Mr. Devlin (or Mr. Otogi, eng/jap preferences) look like Mr. Pegasus to you? No? Thought so. Seto Kaiba may be a pioneer in revolutionizing how Duel Monsters is played, but that's nothing compared to the ingenious creation that is Dungeon Dice Monsters! So, praytell, did the game just arrive to your city/country and everyone is gathering in a mob outside the game store door to get their hands on the game first, or has it been around and people have decided for themselves if it's worth keeping around?
GENERATION X
	1. DUELING ACADEMY Years later and Seto Kaiba has already founded the first of to-be many schools for Duel Monsters. You are placed into either Slifer Red, Ra Yellow, or Obelisk Blue upon passing your entrance exam depending on your resumé, transcript of any and all past dueling schools, skill shown during the exam, and, ha, of course your income status. Not fair? Talk to the hand. You can be promoted from your lower class if your grades and skills match up where your entry credentials failed you. So, are you new here, or have you been here for a while? Have you moved up in the ranks since you enrolled, or have you been stuck in the same place for years, whether you've been working your ass off or slacking. You don't need to be an Obelisk to graduate and--wait how do you graduate? We just don't know. You can also be a teacher, but that might be boring.
	2. PREP SCHOOL Out of order, yes, but not everyone had the chance to go to prep school, you know. But hey, if you did, good on you! Is it because you're a damn prodigy or was your family wealthy enough to send you off to put all your time into learning card games? This is the chance to prepare yourself for Duelist Academy, to learn all you can and make the best grades possible. You have a head start on everyone else, how do you choose to use it?
	3. ATTENTION, STUDENTS! Oh whoopee, class time. Or are you just so pumped to learn about Spells and Traps and Monsters??? You might even be apathetic because you know all this already, or you're borderline "don't give a fuck," whatever. You might be on your way to class, on your way back, or in class taking notes or trying not to fall asleep. Wait there's a test tomorrow? Also don't forget about baseball/tennis/various sports practice!
	4. DORM LIFE If you're in Slifer Red, you live in a toolshed, where each room has a triple bunkbed and three desks cramped together, and single gendered with no other separation otherwise. It's a tight fit, tough luck. There's not much else to them, the "cafeteria" is small and has a few tables and cheap food. If you're in Ra Yellow, you have double-room dorms with a door separating your room and your roommate's room. The rooms are much more spacious than the Slifer Red dorms, and the two wings are separated by gender. There's a small lounge to mingle in the middle, attached to the cafeteria with mediocre food but a decent size. If you're in Obelisk Blue, the boys' dorm is in one place and the girls' in another, only reachable by lake. The rooms are enormous singles, huzzah! Each dorm has 5-star food, large lounge areas with TVs, rooms specifically for practicing dueling, and a warm bath house. What sorts of shenanigans are you going to get into? And remember, trespassing might land you in some serious trouble with the Disciplinary Force.
	5. EXPLORING This island is fucking huge. There's a forest, water all around, and a rumor of a beach somewhere on the edges that's hidden by large intimidating rocks. There's also the abandoned dorm, where kids go in but never come out. It's really easy to get lost if you don't know where you're going, but maybe that's the fun of it! There are also docks where shipments come in, and it's a good place to watch the sunset to get your mind off things. When you're not inside in class or in your dorm, it's the great outdoors and you have free roam.
	6. DUEL EXAMS Okay the fun and games are over, it's exam time. You might have been freaking out forever, staying up all night studying and studying and praying. You'll start off with a written exam (it's strongly suggested that you don't fall asleep), and the proceed to the dueling part of the exams. You will be pitted against someone from your color, and will be graded on your performance. Hey, you might even get promoted! You could also be in the audience, observing battles before or after your own, and making commentary with the people around you.
	7. SCREW YOU GUYS, I'M GOING HOME For some reason it's fairly common for frustrated students to just ollie the fuck out. They try to leave by raft, by boat, or maybe they've even called their parents or their parents have come for them. Well, it's stressful being a student here! And sometimes it's not fair and everyone sucks and you clearly aren't getting the respect you deserve. Or maybe you're trying to talk someone out of leaving because they have so much potential or something. Also, there tends to be the runaway who just goes into the forest and it's really never clear if they actually left the island or met with an unfortunate accident, or they just reappear after doing some mountain training, or they go and disappear in the haunted dorm. No matter what, dropping out is a serious decision and you're not the only one affected by it.

JADEN PLAYED RESCUE RABBIT IN DEFENSE (of his boyfriend) MODE

[polymerizationhero]

[Jaden's parents had been delighted to hear that he'd been invited to stay at a friend's house for a week, especially because they didn't have to pay for it. There are a few details missing, of course. They don't know that Chazz is far more likely to be greeted with a kiss than a friendly hug, they don't know that Jaden was the one who insisted on visiting, and they don't know that Jaden is the only one of their friends to get this invitation.]

[He'd played games with Syrus over his iphone in the airport and slept through the plane ride, and now he's feeling really groggy and kinda gross, but mostly just excited. He hasn't seen his boyfriend in over a month, and he's a very physical person-- phone calls just aren't the same. He's looking forward to catching up on hugs and goofy flirting Chazz pretends not to like.]

[It doesn't occur to him that Chazz can't drive, and therefore will be accompanied by a family member, until he actually sees them across baggage claim.]

[byebye]

[He knew the whole "inviting his greatest rival and possibly next duelist celebrity" thing wouldn't go over that well, considering everything. They didn't know that "boyfriend" was on that list, and that really wasn't their damn business. He wanted Jaden over for a while. pulled the "I already bought his ticket get over it" card, so his parents sort of gave up on opposition and his brothers didn't know about it until the day before when Chazz reminded them to take him with them to the airport when they were going to be departing for America the same day.]

[He's set up a cot in his room that's going to go unused, it was just formalities. It was also fairly suspicious, there were plenty of empty guest rooms, and Chazz never really gave a straight answer on why a guest wouldn't want their own room; it, again, wasn't their damn business. So he's ready for Jaden on pretty much all the fronts, well-prepared, and that's how he's standing at baggage claim with his brothers, who each have small travel suitcases with them.]

[He's half-expecting them to make a giant fuss about this. They don't shy away from making scenes, but this is going to be over with for them shortly. Chazz had set it up like this, anyway, so that his brothers couldn't get away with not taking up the chance to be doubly productive. Jaden gets here when they have to leave, and after some snide remarks they turn and leave Chazz alone once they spot Jaden. He knows where the car with their family driver is, it's all parked outside waiting, and, again, this was his plan and it's going pretty smoothly.]

[He nods to Jaden, never actually looks at his brothers as they walk off, or even much at all, and he's trying to ignore the burn of shame in favor of the "fuck you guys."]
