I would like to give a congratulations to Shiroko, for winning her first duel.

I almost got so distracted by the fruit puns, that I nearly missed that you seem to still have that card.

Luckily, they aren't my forte.

Why do you still have it? Or did you miss the whole... Attempting to use you and Shiyoko as a human shield mishap? Or the turning you and many others into dolls part?

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Good.

I... don't think it'll be an issue anymore.

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... How certain are you that it won't be an issue anymore?

Because my first general response, after all this, is to not use it.

The card's text changed on its own when I wasn't looking certain.

Also, am I allowed to defend myself if Marias tries to attack me over this issue?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... It's... Card text changed?

Explain this a bit better before I give an answer, because I would rather not take risks about this, Shiroko.

Re: [Private to Shikou]

It's effect text... changed. To make it weaker. Not by much, but... less game breaking. Its Tokens are summoned in Defense, and if revived from the Graveyard, its base attack becomes 2500.

Before it always had 3000 ATK, and its tokens could be summoned in any position.

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... How... Odd.

... And is there... Any reason why this happened?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

To use a euphemism:

"Hell if I know."

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

I would really like a reasoning for this, because I don't like taking a risk about something so... Dangerous.

... If it has a Duel Spirit, then coax it out somehow? I'm... not particularly good at that sort of thing?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... I don't think I'm a good choice for that.

If I were to coax it out, then I'd want to speak to it and try to reason with it.

Sadly, it also strangled my ability to speak for a while, still.

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

For all I know, it might listen to you.

Since you beat it?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

Probably, it would. Though I'm still surprised by it's actions... Though I think my logic might be more clear on it. If it's sentient, then it might react like any other creature.

But, again. I can't speak to it. The best I would be able to do, for extended conversation, is to write everything down.

However, Shiroko, you do realize that if I do find that it has... Mentally, remained unchanged, I am going to have to dispose of the card. While I can leave room for the benefit of the doubt that it has decided to be docile, that room is only so much, given circumstances.

... Well, this just occurred to me, but I think it's an infant.

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... An infant?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

It's a prototype card. Which means it was made recently.

The Duel Spirit would probably have to be new.

While what it did isn't forgivable... it might just be a child?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... I don't have much experience with children... I guess so. But this is still fairly... Uneasy.

... Which reminds me. How exactly did you come across such a card?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

I2 promotion, from the person who gave it to me.

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... An I2 promotion, mm? And do you remember who gave it to you?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

Yes. An I2 Promotion to help test upcoming cards.

Yes. I do.

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... Do you mind stating who? It might be good to keep note of them, in case anything else occurs.

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

... That's a difficult position.

It does come off as a bit suspicious.

But I'm not sure if I'm contractually allowed to say who they are.

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... Shiroko, if something else happens, can you please, at the very least, put aside any contractual obligations for the sake of emergency?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[whitrthanwhite.livejournal.com]

... I'll say this without saying it outright:

You know them. I think.

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou.livejournal.com]

... That probably gives a slight bit more weight to a guess that I'm already considering... But I will give a benefit of the doubt on it.

That, at the least, says more than enough.
