Who: Exael and the Unlucky Contestants
Where: The Game Tower
When: 86, Evening

[ Between one step and the next the walls (or streets, or open air) around you changes. The sight before you is a room inside the game tower, a new pressure at your neck. Reaching up or looking at the people around you reveals it to be a collar, titanium with a small green blinking light set in the center. ]

[ the screen flickers on, on your cellphone. It's a half-second, blink and you miss it— Exael, chewing on a nail, looking uncharacteristically nervous— then the moment's gone and she waves both hands and smiles for the camera. ]

"Ladies, gentlemen, honored guests! Units of all stripes and sizes! I come offering you a game and a few familiar words, rearranged for the occasion!"

Her carnival barker demeanor shifts for a moment as she lowers her head to say: ] "Glory to the highest, and on earth peace—" [ her head snaps up, her pigtails bouncing with it, and she's grinning again, all pomp and energy ] "even if we're not getting much down here! So let's kick up a ruckus, put on a show, and see how much good goodwill alone can manage! If you wish to save your fellows, now is the time speak!"

[ The rules appear on your phones. ]

[ He looks over his shoulder like ???????? until he realizes what Yugi is up to.

Oh.

You know what.

Good.

He drops his forehead back into the pillow, and yes, he's exactly as tight and rigid as he always looks. Muffled; ]

You don't need to be an expert when you can warm your hands like that.

[ He's a cat who's found a sunbeam on top of a heat vent. ]

[ yugi smiles at him, waiting until king has dropped his head back to the pillow to lean down and whisper, ]

Maybe not, but just imagine what these hands could do if I were one.

[ he sits back up and scoots back, sitting on the rise of his ass as his hands travel down his back. he doesn’t work any one knot for too long, but maybe that’s only because he wants to explore every inch of king he’s able to right now. ]

Anywhere in particular you want me?
