Hey, I know this is a kind of weird thing to say, but to all you newbies without common sense out there: Do not warn visitors about getting indebted to the carnival. I don't want to see anyone getting in trouble their first week, especially not anyone on my team. Got it?

[Small sigh.]

I kind of figured. I mean...I don't like it, but there's no helping it, is there?

[dorkypantsuit]

[Finally, someone who gets it.]

Not really. As unfortunate as that is.

[toogoodtoopure]

[It's cool. It's not like he hasn't been in a situation where he's lied before :')]

That's what I thought. It's not...I won't lie, it's not my personal ethics. But if that's the way it has to be then that's it.

[dorkypantsuit]

I'm happy at least someone isn't upset by this.

[toogoodtoopure]

I'm friends with the CEO of a major corporation and my grandpa runs a shop. It's not like I don't know how business is made.

[aww lookit him call Kaiba a friend]

As long as we don't steal souls. I...kinda have a personal thing about that.

[dorkypantsuit]

[Should he even bother to ask??????]

Business is.. probably a good way to look at it.

I never really bought anything back home though so I can't say for sure.

And I mean, at least to my knowledge there isn't any soul stealing going on?

[toogoodtoopure]

Well...hm, I guess that's good enough.

[dorkypantsuit]

... Is it?

[toogoodtoopure]

Well yeah. Why wouldn't it be?

[ Chiaki, working on a machine nearby, pauses to listen. ]

... Hey. What if we made some of the games easier?

[toogoodtoopure]

[Shutting off his walkie talkie, he turns his head to look at her, tilting it with a curious look.]

Easier? I dunno, they're already pretty easy.

[Yuugi, that's just you.]

[waitingforplayer2]

They're easy if you know how to play them.

[ Which is the same thing as saying they aren't very easy, really. ]

But lots of people don't.

[toogoodtoopure]

Mmm...I wonder if we could do such a thing, though.

[He taps his fingers against his walkie talkie, careful with the movement that it doesn't click it on, and places his free hand on his hip before running the fingers of it through his hair.]

They're pretty...set in their ways.

[waitingforplayer2]

Do you think they could find out?

[ She hesitates. ] Mm... I mean, we wouldn't have to do it with them all. If there was somebody who really seemed like they were having fun, we could let them play a harder game, too.

But that way, not just anybody who tried a game would get stuck here by mistake.

[toogoodtoopure]

Maybe. We'd have to be careful. Discreet.

[There was no telling what might happen if they weren't. Yuugi touches a hand to his chin, crossing his other under his elbow.]

People will still get stuck here regardless, whether they chose to be like I did or not.

[waitingforplayer2]

Yeah. We can't help everyone, I guess...

[ Much as she'd like to. ] But maybe we could help a few people.
