[Event Post] Super Therapy Time

[theheadmonarch]

::So, let's say you've been traumatized by the events of 2 weeks ago involving giant killer robots, or you just feel anxious or whichever. Well, you can either come to be as a Guidance Counselor at Duel Academia, or find my private small practice I'm running in the city for non-students (i.e. Anyone out of High School). Both of which are professional.

As to how I'm doing both ventures, well a wizard did it. And that wizard happens to be me, Noriko. Time Loops for fun and profit.::

*Sylvia shows up later than she said she would. She seems slightly stressed, and her clothes are a bit messier/wrinkly than usual. But she seems happy to see you!*

Hi, Mrs. Wakahisa! Um...

How's stuff?

[theheadmonarch]

::Sighs with exasperation.:: Fine up until the thing where I found out the city got attacked by... what were they even, Space Nazis?

[shiningsylvia]

Interdimensional Nazis? I think?

I dunno, they looked like Duel Academy people, but also like pirates. That Reiji guy said some stuff about it, it was weird. I'm pretty sure we're the third dimension, since everything is like 3D.

[theheadmonarch]

... That... sounds odd.

[shiningsylvia]

Yeah it was, also I think I got drafted.

[theheadmonarch]

Drafted? ::Motions for you to take a seat.::

[shiningsylvia]

Yeah, that Akaba guy said something, like...

*She does a sit*

Okay, so there was the duel thing that got turned into a terrorist attack, right? I managed to stay in the thing long enough with dying until I saw a giant robot. I thought it might be like the control center for their weird card death thingy, so I attacked it. Then like...

Isabel Marias was there, actually! That was cool! I forgot about that part.

Anyway, the robot died and then Akaba showed up and said that there's a bunch of dimensions and one is like our evil twin dimension, also that the government is bad and he's making something called Lancers to get revenge on somebody that is probably responsible.

[theheadmonarch]

Terrorist Attack or Act of War is what I'd call it. ... So he doesn't trust the government and is offering you a position and a Duel Monsters Private Military Corporation. Am I following that right? So you'll be Solid Snake. With card games.

[shiningsylvia]

Oh junk, that's awesome.

Also I don't know if he was talking to me, there were like cool people there he probably was talking to more. But he said "if you don't wanna be solid snake then leave" but I literally couldn't move my body so I'm not really sure what's happening.

[theheadmonarch]

Has he offered you a business contract or a wage. Furthermore, I don't know the Academy's position on you being a Duel Monsters Merc.

[shiningsylvia]

Nothing like that. He just kinda dueled Yuya cause they were upset about stuff and then left. I haven't seen him since then, I have no idea if he was serious or not. But like, he seems like the kind of guy with enough money and power to actually draft a bunch of people into a military to go beat up nazis from the pirate dimension.

[theheadmonarch]

Do YOU want to beat up Nazis from the Pirate Dimension? Have any friends or family objected?

[shiningsylvia]

Oh, I haven't told them about it. They probably don't want me to die. Mostly Lauren.

*Over the last few weeks Yuya's been... pretty reclusive. He hadn't really attended many of his classes in that two weeks, and any that he did attend, he didn't really pay attention to. All he could think of was the empty seat next to him, where Yuzu would usually sit.

The rest of his time he'd spent mostly in his dorm room.

He'd tried communicating with Yuto. Many times. But he didn't respond to him. Most of the time he was left just staring at his own reflection in the mirror.

On the nights he couldn't sleep, he'd just take a walk aimlessly around the island.

Naturally, people worried and it was recommended to him that he should maybe just talk to the Guidance Counselor.
And he tried. But each time he passed by Noriko's office door at the Academy, he couldn't bring himself to knock and today... was no different.
With the hood of his cape over his head, he stared at the door before lifting his hand up and then... just putting it back down again.
What would he even talk about that he hadn't already discussed with others anyway? What would it even change?
Letting out a heavy sigh he simply... turns and starts walking away.*

[theheadmonarch]

::You hear a voice respond through the door.::

I can hear you sighing out there.

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya looks back in surprise. He didn't think he was sighing THAT loud.
He pauses for a moment, before he just grits his teeth and forces himself to walk back.
He might as well go now she knows he's here.

Slowly, he opens the door to her office and looks in.*

[theheadmonarch]

::She's signing paperwork and looking through folders.:: Yes, Sakaki-kun?

[pendulum_soul]

*He gives out another small sigh, before walking in, closing the door behind him and going to sit in a chair opposite her.*

Others suggested I should come here and...
Talk.

[theheadmonarch]

Well, that is why I'm here. To talk.

[pendulum_soul]

I don't even really know where to start.

[theheadmonarch]

Usually, boys talking to me talk to me about: "I punched him because he insulted my mom" "Mrs. Wakahisa, I started having funny dreams about girls not wearing clothes" "Go see Boopsy the Clown, he'll cheer you up." "But Mrs. Wakahisa, I am Boopsy the Clown" "... Oh." Do you have anything like that?

[pendulum_soul]

More I'm caught up an inter-dimensional war, against people who's whole way of dueling clash with mine.
I'm still angry with how Akaba Reiji dealt with the whole thing.
And, Yuzu has been missing for two weeks and all I want to do is go and find her.

[theheadmonarch]

Oh, that mess. ::Gives a long exasperated sigh.:: So which would you like to talk about to start with: Culture Clash, Mr. Redhorse or Ms. Hiiragi.

[pendulum_soul]

I don't know...! I haven't even been able to even focus on one...! They just keep going over and over in my head!

I'm still mad at Akaba Reiji because he tossed us to the lions without even letting ANY of us know what we were in for! And when I stood up to him about it, he just mocked and insulted me and I ended up losing to him anyway!

I hate that Academia has been using dueling in a way that just causes suffering in others and somehow, they think they're doing the right thing! They think attacking worlds, carding people, then using their life energy to create some utopia is right, without considering anyone else!
Dueling shouldn't be used in this way!

And Yuzu...!
Yuzu...

*He seems to grit his teeth like he's trying to hold back his emotions.
He can't even finish the last part. He's too overwhelmed.*

[theheadmonarch]

I understand the being thrown to the wolves. My sister and Haita-san were entirely blindsided by this whole mess. Did you wonder why he was mocking or insulting you. He seems a man who doesn't do things without a purpose. The purpose of Dueling is kind of a hard question to answer. In the twelve dimensions, it serves as anything from entertainment, to war, to a means of avoiding large skirmishes... That said, take your time. If you want to scream about Yuzu-chan, go ahead.
