guess you need to lose this one then to learn how to huh! >:| come at me

[ Yugi would point out there hasn't been much time to really get to know their newest ally--well, he'd call her friend. His family and hers being connected a generation ago hasn't gone over his head. He's thought about it off and on during the tournament and through the finals. Did her grandfather really know about the Millennium Puzzle? Or, was it just all one giant stroke of luck? Maybe it's because he's at the center of it that he can see all of the connections that go back to the Pharaoh beside him. It's all a complicated weaved together story.

Still, Yugi considers her a friend, and one that they should both know better. Especially if their grandparents were as close as his Grandpa implied. Which makes him wonder why his Grandpa never mentioned it until now. Their passing must have been hard -- especially being so far away. Come to think of it, Yugi isn't even sure when his Grandpa last left Japan.

His gaze drops to the keys on the laptop in front of him. ]


... I never really noticed. [ He doesn't realize he's said that out loud as it's a thought to himself. He'd been so wrapped up in his own struggles and hardships that he hadn't considered what him staying with his Grandpa cost the older man.

He wished on the Millennium Puzzle to have a friend--someone that would understand and he'd be able to talk to. Of course, he didn't really think it'd happen, or it would be a spirit inside the ancient item. Maybe destiny really has always been at hand.

He snaps from his thoughts once Atem asks his question. ]


Huh? What--[ then, he pauses, and just looks at his best friend. Yugi blinks again in something that's mixture of surprise and sudden realization. He just presumed Atem had all the knowledge he did about the world and everything. Then again, they always presumed Atem was an alter ego and not someone else entirely. ] Oh. Uh, texting. You know how we all have the conversations on the phone in text? [ He points to the phone on the charger, as if Atem can physically grab the device and look at it. ] Luna gave us her number if we or Grandpa ever needed anything. I can just send her a message asking when she can see us.

[ Why does this suddenly feel really awkward?

Still, he smiles at Atem. He has no problem sharing his name or memories. After all, they've done so much together. Why not continue to share what they already have?

It is a little disheartening to hear that answer. Maybe Yugi needs to go to the exhibit himself and see if he can find out how old that tablet is. ]


I've grown up in the world like this. It's all I've ever known. [ He points at the laptop screen. ] It'll be like a library you can access instantly. If we can't get more information from Ishizu, then we can at least start here.

[ Yugi types a few simple words into the search engine: ε€δ»£γ‚¨γ‚Έγƒ—γƒˆ and several links show up. He takes a moment to look at a few before selecting one that brings up a page filled with text. ]

If I remember right, Egypt stopped being it's own kingdom when Rome took control...? [ He's not sure if that's right, but , he does glance up at Atem. It feels like he should say it with a level of respect, reverence, and sensitivity. It's ancient history to Yugi -- but his friend was born there, lived there, and well... does Atem even have a mummy? ] So, maybe we should start looking for pictures of things that might look familiar?
