*So hey remember that kid that's been asking around about Shian.

Well he's either staring outside of the Tops building, which he... isn't allowed to go into due to it being a rich person place and needing to be allowed in or have a key, or he's window shopping outside of card stores, staring a bit downcast.

You should assist him! Probably!*

*wha oh god how'd you get there*

U-uh-- no of course not. My mom would kill me if she saw me with one. I was just... Taking a look, that's all.

[whitrthanwhite]

::I'm very quiet.::

... Why would she kill you?

::She's staring at that.::

[knowledgeis]

She finds stuff like this to be pointless and distracting from getting into a good school and a good job and that I don't need any extra distractions.

*this sounds utterly foreign to you. there are entire careers revolving around dueling.*

[whitrthanwhite]

... First off, shne sounds way too much like my mom, and from my experience, not having hobbies and focusing on school is going to suck your brain out and make you miserable.

::Presses her glasses up ominously.::

Secondly, Dueling can make you filthy rich. Or help lead you to doing so.

[knowledgeis]

She doesn't believe in any stability in dueling related jobs. And I have hobbies. She just thinks this one in particular is nothing but a distracting money-sink.

[whitrthanwhite]

It's not meant to be stable. It's like sports. You're in for a few years, get a mega contract, save and invest most of the money and use it to fund other projects you care about.

::... Silent pause.::

That and it's a useful skill for defending yourself and saving the world.

[knowledgeis]

Even if I believed that, I doubt she would. *cause really. saving the world with a card game?*

[whitrthanwhite]

... Well, I can testify on pretty much all of those as being true. So, what kind of theme do you like from what you're seeing?

[knowledgeis]

Nothing really has grabbed my attention... I think DARK or Spellcasters would be interesting though. *he waves his hand*

I definitely shouldn't buy one though. They're gonna be angry enough if they figure out where I actually went for Golden Week.

[whitrthanwhite]

... You didn't tell them?

[knowledgeis]

Well, considering what I'm here for, no.

Since generally whenever mom talks about my brother, it's how he was a... what was it... A "useless, good-for-nothing disobedient and ungrateful child who was better off staying out of our lives".

[whitrthanwhite]

::Gives this look of complete and utter disgust, her eyes taking on this nasty nasty cat eyes look, as she clicks her tongue.::

[knowledgeis]

... W-what, I'm not the one who said it!

[whitrthanwhite]

I'm aware. I have a mother just like her.

::Says that venomously.::

[knowledgeis]

Then don't give me a look like you're going to bite me!

[whitrthanwhite]

Sorry.

::Her eyes revert.::

I'm just mad at your mother for being so... self centered.

[knowledgeis]

I'm not gonna say anything like that. She's still my mom, and I still love her. *he rubs his head*

She's just a little stubborn when it comes to stuff she doesn't like.

[whitrthanwhite]

... I'm kind of jaded, admittedly. But I sincerely doubt your brother was disobedient or ungrateful at heart.

[knowledgeis]

Well, I dunno if he was or not. I never knew him.

[whitrthanwhite]

... You know what. Let me buy you any one card you really like.

[knowledgeis]

What? No, no, it's fine! You don't need to buy me anything, you know? *he looks a little embarrassed*

[whitrthanwhite]

No. Really. Pick one. It's a gift.

[knowledgeis]

... I don't know what one I'd pick, honestly. I don't know much about the game.

[whitrthanwhite]

... You're here for someone, right?

[knowledgeis]

I'm here to find my brother, yeah. Or at least who I think is my brother.
