madimpossibledreamerI'm making the weirdest crossovers. *Joey voice* Somebody stop me!
~Dreamer~
Main Points:
Life is Strange/Yugioh (GX?) Crossover (it's set in Duel Academy, but so far no canon Yugioh characters are scheduled to appear)
Summary: Max is a good duelist, but she also happens to be a Ra Yellow with no ambition.
Word Count: 450
Rating: gen
Max isn’t a bad duelist.
“Come on, class is starting!” Kate.
“Coming!”
She just…prefers to watch. Maybe it’s shyness. Maybe it’s that she finds it more fascinating to wield a camera, to be the one on the sidelines. Being a journalist of the dueling world is her dream job. The one with the camera, of course. Being in front of the camera or writing the stories is a little too much responsibility for her, never mind the fact that she loves her camera. She usually spends money on more film and never changes up the battered old deck she uses.
For the first time in a while, though, she’s got a little left over to buy a booster. Since she never buys any, she has no idea which of the sets will best fit her deck. It’s a good thing Tome-san is such a helpful lady and knows the contents of the store inside and out.
It’s sitting in her bag, now. She might open it in class. Mr. Jefferson is a good teacher, and kind of cute, but her curiosity is getting the better of her.
It’s a mistake, though, because Victoria, that Obelisk Blue snob, comes over to taunt her. “Oh, look, Max finally has enough pocket change for one booster. Maybe we could all pitch in as charity for the Ra, since it’s been exactly how long since you’ve won? Maybe changing up your deck will help.”
She runs out of things to say, though, when she grabs the cards from Max’s hands before she can even look at them. Mr. Jefferson comes over, frowning, and carefully takes the cards. “I’ve never heard of this card, but then, with Maximillion Pegasus as head of Industrial Illusions, that’s not surprising. This may be a one-of-a-kind card, Max.”
He hands them back, and Max gasps, taking the card out from the rest. At a glance, she knows it’s special. She can’t name the rarity off the top of her head, but knows that precise sparkle is reserved for only the most precious of cards, and she’s never heard of it nor its archetype before. “Janus, the Two-Faced Deity,” she reads out loud, hand trembling, staring at the brilliant blue butterfly featured prominently.
“Janus is the Roman god of doorways and time, Max,” Kate says quietly, smiling, having scooted closer to look at the card. “It’s beautiful.”
She will definitely have to tune her deck and figure out a card to replace, because there is no way she is not having this one in her deck. Painting isn’t really her thing, but the level of detail…as far as the sparkle and fantasy go, it still looks real. Like a photograph.
