[The video opens with a very flushed Chuuya, and the source of that rosy color on his cheeks is soon readily apparent. In his hand is a glass of red wine that’s barely half-full, and it’s obvious that he’s been hitting the bottle hard. Behind him is the backdrop of a lavish, cozy bedroom, and a small bird can be seen flitting to and fro.]

This is the first time I’ve posted a video on here. Seems easy enough. Anyway, while we all wait for news of whatever the hell is going on with the bigger picture right now, why not have some fun?

[Chuuya takes a sip of his wine.]

So I’m gonna ask a few questions. First off, what’s your drink of choice? I’m taking suggestions on different cocktails to mix up since I’ve got an entire bar to work with now. Hell, if it’s good enough, I might just name it after you.

[And he downs the rest of the wine. So classy.]

Second question; besides the people, what do you miss most about home? Or maybe tell me about something you’ve gotten back that you were missing when you first woke up. Or even weirdass gifts you never asked for that just randomly appeared.

[That gets a wry smile out of Yusei. But, he's boring and likes regular milk. Enough to order it at bars. Yeah.]

No. With cards. It's a game.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Card games, huh? I’m pretty damn good at poker.

[No. No he is not.]

Were you good at it?

[planetary_bonds]

Decent.

[As you can see, he has a good poker face.]

My friend Crow was the one who tended to be the luckiest at that kind of thing, though.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Yeah? Was there a prize for winning a duel?

[planetary_bonds]

If you were in a tournament, yes. Or playing with the ante rule.

[thetaintedsorrow]

What kinda stuff could you win? Money?

[planetary_bonds]

Money, titles, prestige. The usual thing you'd win from a sporting tournament, I assume. A friend of mine was known as the "Dueling King" for a while and had...almost everything he could desire, or so he said.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Damn. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

[A pause.]

Your friend...is he in the pods?

[planetary_bonds]

...Yeah.

[They all are.]

I should count myself lucky, hm?

[thetaintedsorrow]

Depends. You like your life here?

[planetary_bonds]

In many ways, it's an improvement. In other ways...it's not.

[The underlying meaning in his words can be easily picked up - to Yusei, at least, it seems like thinks are the same as ever. There's shitty people in the world, but there's good people to make up for it, too.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

I can understand that. I’m still trying to adjust to my life here. I’ve met a lot of great people though.

I might even start calling Olympia my real home soon.

[planetary_bonds]

...That's good for you, that you're finding your place...

[He sounds hesitant. Whether that's because this man's comfortable in a place like Olympia, or because someone has managed to fully be comfortable with their circumstances in a way he still hasn't even after almost a year...or because it's just his natural tone of voice...it's not clear. But it's there.]

Still, if there's ever anything bothering you... [He's happy to lend a hand, regardless. Just because he isn't completely content doesn't mean everyone else can't be.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Huh?

[Chuuya can sense the hesitation, but he’s more interested in that offer.]

...you sure? We just met, and not even in person.

[He’s not used to being offered a shoulder to lean on so casually...]

I appreciate it.

[planetary_bonds]

Things are difficult enough here. I don't plan on making things more difficult for anyone.

[Yusei's happy to hep...basically anyone who's worth helping.]

We should be able to rely on each other, considering everything that's happened.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Yeah, you’re right. Then I’ll help you out if you need it, too.

[planetary_bonds]

[Yusei's not entirely sure if the offer is genuine or just made as a response to him, but he doesn't really care. He offers a small smile.]

I appreciate it. I'll vouch for you if any Wyver locals start snapping at your heels.

[He might not be fond of Olympia, but he can still be decent towards them.]
