[ There's a lot to unpack here but MOST importantly—

Did you seriously hit Yugi in the face with a metal briefcase. ]

Looks like you deserved that.

[ BITCH!!!!!!!!!! ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Coming down from his maniacal laughter high]

To the victor goes the spoils.

Isn't that right, Your Excellency?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ No, by all means continue ya goddamn lunatic. ]

And to the loser the punishments.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Did you find the answer you were looking for?

[puzzlekeeper]

In some small part... maybe I did.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Going to keep that bit to yourself unless I duel it out of you?

[puzzlekeeper]

Of course I am. It's personal, after all; you'll need to earn it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then after our next match, I say we have a little re-match to this one?

[Pointing to his phone even though it's no longer showing the memory]

Think you can beat me twice in a row? And without your bullshit magical powers.

[spraybottle for all bad yugiohs making children games fucking stupid]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ HE'S MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS??? Irritably wipes at his face ]

—B!

[liarliarliar]

Oops sorry.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Now, now, I think you should apologize. He looks awfully broken up about it.

[Look at that insane laughter.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Intensity in the background getting off on his own torture ]

I'll gladly issue an apology when I actually owe one.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Ah. So is losing a hand for stealing not the norm anymore? Or was it the briefcase that caused it to be ramped up to nightmares of being eaten.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ From the shift in his expression, it's DING DING DING on the second thing. ]

Yugi did nothing to deserve how he was treated.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Queue. Hyena. Laughter.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ sir please ]

... Dare I ask?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Now, I wonder.

Do you have the same underlying hatred that I also possess?

[criminaljustice]

... so this "heart" business is exactly the kind of metaphor I needed to encapsulate the thing I keep yelling at Intensity about.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Seriously? ]

... That's really specific.

[criminaljustice]

Well, in concept. "Intensity, you need to actually give a shit about the feelings of people around you. You can't just treat your quote-unquote employees like machines!"

[puzzlekeeper]

Oh. [ THAT MAKES... MORE SENSE... ] I see.

Yes, that's exactly the reason I'm keeping an eye on him.

[ And promised to murder him should the need arise ]

[criminaljustice]

... did he throw down that challenge to you, too?

[uhhh.]

[puzzlekeeper]

I informed him I wouldn't tolerate replacing one tyrant with another. So no, I challenged him.

[ god Boss, obviously!! ]

[criminaljustice]

... huuuuh.

Well. He challenged me to overthrow him if I thought I could do better, so.

[basically...]
