[Radio | Day 145]

[hippocarnival]

[Ring ring, telephone. Yuya really hopes Yugo is still awake at this hour and, more importantly, actually going to answer his radio.]

Yugo? Yugoooo. Hey, pick up.

[He sounds tired.]

[bananaspeedrider]

[Luckily for Yuya, as much as he wasn't before... Yugo snorts awake from the sharp static at his earfin. The hell.]

Mn-huh...?

[Said while half-asleep after managing to blindly grab and work the thing.]

What?

[hippocarnival]

[At... least that makes him reliable to reach when he's asleep.]

Hey, someone else from our group of dimensions showed up. It's Reira--you remember Reira, right? He was a lancer with the rest of us, and he was going to participate in the Friendship Cup until Tsukikage took his place.

[That probably all means more to Yuya than Yugo. Er--] He's a little kid and he wears a teal hoodie. Can you help keep an eye on him while he's here?

[bananaspeedrider]

[Out of few the duels Yugo was watching, he slept through that one. So Yuya's right to assume that the other barely has a clue of who Reira is. And likely missed the kid's presence in Synchro during that tragic night as thoroughly as he ignored Yuya's during that fateful night in Standard.]

.... Sure okay.

[No big deal right?]

[hippocarnival]

I'd just feel better if we all knew where everyone was. And he's young. [He explains, because Yugo definitely does not have the same attachment to this kid.] Thanks!

[The radio clicks off and he almost leaves it at that.

And then he remembers one other important detail.] Uh, one more thing. How much do you remember about Zarc? [Being Zarc.]

earlyish in Moon Time

[pullingamiko]

[A handmade card is taped to the door of Yugo’s cabin. It’s covered in glitter and reads:

ur a pretty cool guy 2 share a trailer with!

Miko]

Mailbox - Holiday Gift

[anti_nonsense]

[One day during the winter vacation, Yugo will find a book has been delivered to his cabin, along with a note scrawled on a torn piece of notebook paper:]

Yugo,

I bought too many books. This one looks about your level, so I'm giving it to you.

-Rita Mordio

[The book is titled Thermodynamics for Dummies, and as one would expect, it explains the laws and concepts of thermodynamics in a way that's accessible to laymen and older children, with helpful illustrations and examples.]

[Of course, the title alone might make one wonder... is this a gesture of goodwill? An insult? Both, somehow? At the very least, it looks like Rita thought of Yugo while she was gift-shopping, so maybe that counts for something... maybe.]

B19, morning

[pipers_son]

Yugo. Oi, Yugo. Come down ta the carnival again! I'm puttin' somethin' together, and I could use another couple hands.

BOX IN HIS TRAILER: WITH NOTE

[ringleaders]

[On B18, they will find a fancy looking gift box in his trailer with a note left on top. The handwriting is done in an over the top cursive that he might recognize as the Ringmaster's, written on aged papyrus with the ink seemingly made of shining gold.]

"Yugo-

Don't crash this one.

The Ringmaster❧"

[Her signature is so massive and florid that it fills up the rest of the paper. When they open the box, they'll find a tiny pocket motorbike. Importantly, though, it is capable of hovering a distance above the ground - and even more importantly, it is capable of being stashed in one's pocket, like some kind of absurd slight of hand trick. When it is deposited on the ground it will be a rideable size, but in the pocket, it will be toy sized.]

during winter break

[pipers_son]

[Waiting for Yugo in a small pouch are a good handful of gingerbread stars, plus a joker playing card hidden in them. There's something written on it.]

I tried to do those bikes you like so much, but they didn't turn out right. Sorry!

B19

[sworntothesword]

[ Connie delivers a wrapped copy of "Clarrisa Clark's Clockwork Contraption", a humor novel with the description "Clarissa Clark takes you on a tour of her shop, which turns out to be quite an adventure. "

It comes with a handwritten note from Connie: ]

Happy Holidays! I love books, and I hope you do too!

If you don't like this particular one, maybe you'll find one more to your liking in at the Book Swap!

[ Included is a crude drawing of the cabin layout with a star pointing to where the book swap is located. ]

operation "gold medal surprise party for steven"

[pipers_son]

Yugo! Did ya hear the good news about Steven? He won a gold medal!

[bananaspeedrider]

He did?

[Though he actually pauses for a sec to try and remember who that kid was.]

That's awesome! In which sport?

[pipers_son]

[As long as he remembers that he works with him, it's fine.]

Professional wrestlin', apparently. I plan on throwin' a surprise party for him. Wanna help?

[bananaspeedrider]

It's the least I can do for a kid like him, isn't it?

[Not that Yugo has any idea either that Steven really isn't that far in age from himself. But he's just going off what he's minimally observed from Wismuth.]

Are you guys still just getting started in setting everything up?

[pipers_son]

Yep! I've been callin' everyone I can, so I haven't had too much time in gettin' back ta the kitchen.

[Not that he plans to keep it that way for long.]

NIGHT 59

[insidescoop]

[Hey, you know the one drawback of going straight to the Supervisor's Grove with your passenger?

Someone is Waiting, Yuugo. Waiting, arms crossed, on her porch, until it's just Yuugo outside.

Uh oh.]

YUUGO!

[Oh no.] INSIDE, NOW!

[OH NO!!!!]

[bananaspeedrider]

[Ah, this is familiar ten times over.

But it's what happens when one is a reckless idiot that runs off and finds trouble. Yugo flinches at Carly's sternness and really can't find a suitable excuse not to do as she asks with his passenger left to presumably rummage around in their own trailer before any sort of medical treatment at the med tent.]

Um.. okay. Yeah. Sure.

[fortuneglass]

[She will wait, quite patiently, in the front area of her trailer- the part that has a visible window, actually. Inside, it looks like a small hall flanked by the massive windows of the room, and a sort of raised garden bed for her plants. Outside, it's a long window that one could probably make out their shadows from if they squinted. As it is, the first thing she does when he gets up there is wrap her arms tightly around for a hug.]

MNHHH...YOU..!

[And then release the hug for the Bad part.] What were you thinking!? [She shouts,] Why were you out there, Yuugo..!?

[Hey, maybe he was out reading with someone before the shadows, never know-]

[bananaspeedrider]

[Why assume Yugo is always breaking rules somewhere, right?]

I was just looking at books in a different corner of the place with Yusei before those shadows got draped everywhere.

[So good to know that this one wasn't disobeying the buddy system?]

[insidescoop]

[BOLD OF YOU TO PRESUME IT WAS JUST THAT, YUUGO.]

Okay....But then where...IS....YUUSEI..! [she protests, half of her words a breathless sound of exasperation.] What happened to your partner..!? We don't even know if they're SAFE now..! They don't know if YOU'RE safe, and...

Mnhhh...you should have called someone, at least..! [Really, she's just having her typical overreaction it seems.]

Day 90

[hippocarnival]

[Now that everything's a little more stable, and they're back at the carnival, Yuya swings by to check on Yugo a little more personally. He saw him at the healing temple, of course, with everyone else. But it doesn't hurt to make doubly sure he's recovering.

So when Yuya's visiting the medical tent, he makes a pointed visit to where Yugo's laid up, leaning over to see how conscious he is.] Yugo?

[bananaspeedrider]

[Bedrest? What's that?

Yugo is more than conscious, he's sitting on the cot in the middle of fumbling with his mess of a shirt. But dealing with the specially tailored clothing he has usually takes him this kind of time for him to get back on. He pauses at this when Yuya calls to him.]

Huh? Oh hey Yuya, what's up?

[What serves as ears on him looks to be covered in short bristly fur from presumably his dog form in Eden.

And though he doesn't have a startling hole in his chest like Gongenzaka does... the skin there seems to have turned into startlingly dark scales, giving his fae mark there a greater contrast to shimmer against.]

[hippocarnival]

Wanted to see how you were doing. [He gives Yugo a once over, worrying over his lip briefly.] I heard you were captured too. Are you okay?

[bananaspeedrider]

Yeah I'm fine. Nothing that I couldn't sleep off... if I wanted to anyway. You'd know how it is- to get bored of lying around all day.

[Which shows that Yugo's own stubbornness still remains intact as well. But he does glance back down at his own wrists, wrapped up in bandages. Iron needs more time and non-magical means to heal.]
