PSL with bondofblueeyes

Neo Domino City was awash with city lights that night, as always. The enormous ring symbolizing the bond between the split parts of the city gleamed in the water. The spotlights from the current KaibaCorp building in its new location were on, waving and beckoning to everyone that even in the future and after the horror that was Zero Reverse, KaibaCorp was still on top.

Radley was in the process of closing a deal with KaibaCorp over dyne production for Duel Runner motorcycles. The meetings were going well and he was feeling good about the prospects. He headed outside and got on his motorcycle to head for a store. He should stock up on a few things before heading back home.

"They have an Auto Pilot feature that can be turned on so you can devote your full attention to the duel," Radley says. "Or if you're really feeling daring, you can try to multitask. You actually have to duel without the Auto Pilot to qualify for an operating license. The motorcycles are called Duel Runners and they have a special compartment to place a Duel Disk and another to shuffle a deck."

He tries to picture what that looks like in his head. "Isn't that... pretty dangerous?" It's like texting and driving at the same time...

[crystalmaster]

Radley smirks. "I sure think so. That's why I'm not daring enough to try it. We still duel the old-fashioned way back in my town."

[bondofblueeyes]

"Oh, so your motorcycle isn't a Duel Runner?" He leans to the side to get a better look at it. It's still a motorcycle, so he thinks it's still pretty cool.

[crystalmaster]

"It's a Harley," Radley says proudly. "It's not a Duel Runner, but it's a sweet ride."

[bondofblueeyes]

Hmm... "Well..." He looks back and forth between the guy and the motorcycle, a mix of wistfulness and wariness. If he hops on the back of a motorcycle with a person he just met, things had the potential to go bad... but... he's in the future with no idea how he got here and he's kind of own his own and this person hasn't done anything that makes Mokuba feel like he should be wary of him...

"What do you think I should do now...?"

[crystalmaster]

"I think we need to figure out how you got here and how to get you home," Radley says. "Can you think of anyone who might have ideas about that?" If not, Radley will try someone he knows.

[bondofblueeyes]

"The only person I can think of smart enough to work something like that out is my brother..." Mokuba admits.

[crystalmaster]

"... Well, we can try it, but do you think he'll believe it's not a trick?" Radley says. "Or that we can avoid you seeing the other you?"

[bondofblueeyes]

"Hmm..." He thinks about it for a moment. "If I tell him something only I would know, that should make him believe me, right? We'd just have to distract the other me and get him away somehow..."

[crystalmaster]

"Yes, I'd think that would work," Radley muses. "The other you might have some work to do on the deal we were setting up, so he might not be there."

[bondofblueeyes]

"If he is, do you think you might be able to lure him away so I can get in there and talk with my brother on my own...?"

[crystalmaster]

"Yes, we can try that," Radley says. "I can certainly come up with something distracting."

He heads towards the building. "Let's go in the back way."

[bondofblueeyes]

"Lead the way!" Mokuba follows along after him, excited about seeing what future Kaiba Corp is going to look like, how different it is, and seeing what he and his brother look like when they're older... Probably not a good idea to see himself face to face, but there's got to be a picture or something to look at. But even with that excitement, there's still a little undercurrent of fear about not being able to get back... But no, he's sure his brother will find a way to fix it. Seto always does.

Radley leads him inside and into the back elevator. There's not a lot to see there, except the elevator itself seeming more high-tech. When they get off on the top floor, there are photographs of some of the current KaibaCorp tech on the walls. By now there are KaibaLands all over the world. One picture shows the U.K. branch from the sky.

Down the hall, Seto can be heard talking on the phone. He sounds much the same, maybe a little deeper.
