Holograms aren't just for Star Trek anymore... [INCOMPLETE]

[satisfiedsigner]

WHO:  Kyosuke Kiryu (satisfiedsigner ) and Adam Monroe (400yearsold )
WHERE: A park near the MAC 
WHEN: After this thread. 
WARNINGS: Maybe swearing?  And holographic monster violence? 
SUMMARY: Kiryu has a duel disk and wants to show off.  Adam is wondering what the heck a duel disk is and wants to see it. 
FORMAT: Paragraph?

Kiryu found it hard not to be extraodinarily excited.  He had to remind himself that he only had one duel disk, and the guy he'd been talking to had never even heard of Duel Monsters much less knew how to play.  But Yuusei was a genius and had rigged their duel disks for things like this.  He couldn't actually play as two people, but he could summon monsters without releasing and he could have his monsters attack each other.

Not to mention he fully intended to see whether the other things Yuusei had said he would program into their disks were actually there.

Kiryu stopped in a fairly open part of the park and frowned thoughtfully down at his duel disk.  The first person he'd talked to--Ruka said his name was Yuugi, but that was...not impossible but unfathomable--had been shocked to see Solid Vision, though he knew the name.  Kiryu wondered if that meant his self that had been here before didn't have a duel disk with him.  He knew that future version or past version, if  he'd had one, other people would have known about it.

If his other self really didn't have a duel disk...well, he couldn't leave this one here.  He needed it himself.  And there was no telling whether they would ever switch again.  And Yuusei was the one who really should be thinking this...

But making up plans to make another one might not be such a bad idea.

Adam really didn't think this was a good idea. He was going to a park to watch some guy play card games. On a hologram. And, apparently, the card games had monsters in it. And this was a good idea? All Adam could think about was how silly it sounded. Holograms had only come up in small uses during the last ten years of his life. And now they're using them to play card games?

He walked into the park, looking around. Spotting Kiryu, he slipped into the friendly facade he had at the restaurant. "Hey there! It's me, Richard." He walked up to the man, looking him over. Something seemed off about Kiryu. He looked...younger. Ah well. "So, ready to show me this 'duel disk'?"

Kiryu looked over at the voice, watching the man as he walked over. He looked a little younger than Kiryu had expected and the type Kiryu would never say something like that too. Otherwise he looked fairly average; maybe more handsome than a lot of guys, but nothing terrible special. There was something...off about him, but he couldn't quite pinpoint it.

...And he knew the Kiryu who had been here before. Great. He didn't doubt it was because he spoke Japanese, so Kiryu could actually communicate with him (he doubted he would learn much more English ever, so he doubted his other self would know it either). But still, it would be nice to find someone who hadn't known him before.

"Kiryu Kyosuke, leader of Team Satisfaction," Kiryu said. "Nice to meet you."

As for the duel disk, he was already wearing it. He pulled one of his decks out of the holster on his belt and stuck it into the slot in the duel disk.

"I'm always ready."

...Team what? Adam resisted the urge to laugh out loud. Team Satisfaction. My god that sounded so silly. How could he take himself seriously with a name like Team Satisfaction? Still, Adam committed both names to memory. Ever since he started working with Hodge, remembering names became much more important.

"Okay," Adam said, looking at the thing on his arm. Was that a duel disk? Again, it looked somewhat silly. He was finding it hard to take Kiryu and his world seriously.

"So, show me what it does! Let's go." He looked at the duel disk again, pondering how it worked. Adam didn't want to chalk it up solely to 'future technology'. He had lived through who knows how long and had to now deal with alien technology, future technology and whatnot. It war pretty annoying.

Kiryu was a little surprised Adam didn't start laughing at their team name; most people usually did if they'd never heard it before. That was right before the four of them dueled and beat the poor person into the ground, of course. It was starting to be rare finding someone who didn't know about them now; they really were making a difference.

Maybe Richard had already known the name? That was possible, since it seemed Richard had known the Kiryu that was here before.

It didn't really matter. All the mattered at the moment was testing what his duel disk could really do. Kiryu raised his arm, engaged to duel disk, and drew six cards.

"Heh, nice. I summon Protector of the Sanctuary, defense mode!"

He set the card on it's proper spot on the duel disk. The holo-projectors lit up and in front of them, a monster at least two stories tall appeared.

"And one card face down," Kiryu said, placing a card in the magic/trap zone. A huge hologrphic card appeared behind the monster.

As the monster popped up, Adam quickly scampered backwards, looking at the monster. It was some sort of scary giant door thing. What the hell was that? Adam didn't know himself.

"Well. That was something unexpected," he said, composing himself. The giant holographic card wasn't as shocking as the giant monster.

He turned to Kiryu. And they were fine with this stuff in his world? The giant monsters haven't given anybody a heart attack yet? Adam was growing to miss his own world, despite it's inconvieniances. At least there weren't giant holographic monsters and insane super-powered criminals (he excluded himself from that list, of course. He might have been super-powered and he might have done some unlawful things but Adam wasn't insane).

"What else can it do?" he asked, looking at the duel disk.

Kiryu laughed a little and pressed a button near his deck meant to skip the opponent's turn during practice sessions.

"Not all the monsters look so...monsterous. Some of them look pretty human. Like...um...this one," Kiryu said, setting another monster on the duel disk. This one appeared next to the other--a person of respectable height that looked like a cross between a futuristic knight and a ninja.

"What else can it do?" he repeated, grinning. He was glad he'd started testing this while talking to Richard. He tilted the duel disk a little and pushed on of the buttons on the underside. The space around them for about fifty yards in all directions suddenly seemed to be flooded, knee-high, in water. It felt like it was actually water, too.

Kiryu glanced down, a little confused by this. "Weird...it isn't usually this realistic..."
