Whoa. Hold on. Time out, dudes. So school was pretty OK at first, and I guess there was a buncha stuff that was good to know. I had no idea Napoleon crossed the Saraha on an elephant; I thought he was just the guy who invented that triple ice cream flavor. And the difference between geometry and geography is pretty obvious now, looking back.  But this is just gettin' lame!  Why the heck is there homework every day? Who invented midterms? And how do any of you guys have time for video games after going through all of this junk?!

You're all with me on this, right? I did fine teaching myself before; is there like someone I can talk to to get outta class?  I'm pretty much set for life schoolwise already.  I before t except after g, triangles have 360 angles, blahblah, see?

[action, high school]
[Beast Boy is so over this school thing.  The next day, instead of a skinny green boy sitting in his desk, there is a small, green cat curled up on top, taking a nap.  This persists in every class apart from lunch and gym.]  

[action, makeout point]
[Sometime after Valentine's Day, Beast Boy flutters up to the top of the mountain and transforms back into his usual self, sitting with his legs dangling off the side of the cliff.  There is a dreamy expression in his eyes and he sighs deeply as he flops backwards.  ...He changes his mind half a second later and sits back up, leaning over to scream down into the town far below.]

I've got a girlfrieeeeeend!!!!

[Oh, yeah.  Felt good.]

You did not just say that.

Perhaps this can be pacified if the topic of AR card battles somehow comes up. xD

[originalnumber]

...

It was an honest question. [Um.] ...Have I said something wrong?

It is a terrible travesty D:

[thebeastwithout]

Dude.

Dude.

How do you live.

He comes from a YGO series. Can't be helped. D:

[originalnumber]

[It is not his fault he is not human.

...Or something.] ...Currently, I believe I am functioning on the same living requirements of most human beings... It's admittedly quite curious, since until arriving in this location, I was little more than a presence of energy in the human world.

[Astral that is not what he meant.]

[thebeastwithout]

...

I think that translates to 'you don't'.

He thought that live action anime was REAL. ;u;

[originalnumber]

...I do not think so. [Astral. The literal-isms-]

...You still have not answered my question. What are 'video games'? Is it similar to television?

[He does love his television.]

Being an energy form is suffering

[thebeastwithout]

OK.

But you might hafta brace yourself. Ready? Cool.

So think of the most awesome fun thing you've ever done in your, uh, not-life, and then... make it ten times more awesome. That's pretty much what video games are.

[.....]

lol yup. xD

[originalnumber]

[LE-GASP!]

TEN TIMES MORE INCREDIBLE THAN DUELING..!?

[IT CANNOT BE!]

[thebeastwithout]

Totally.

So you gotta have a game machine and a television. You hook them up, and then...

It's like magic.

[originalnumber]

A television is required? [Hoh.]

I fail to see how this could be any more exhilarating than the augmented reality duels of my former world.

[...What's this about augmented reality now?]

[thebeastwithout]

Says the guy who's never tried it. Video games are way cooler than ogling reality, dude. They're better than reality.

[originalnumber]

Ahh... You misunderstand.

Augmented Reality is 'created reality'. It is a system used to create the illusion of the various monsters used in a duel against others- the system was created when holograms proved too limiting to the experience provided.

For example- a summoned monster could be seen flying through and therefore destroying a nearby building. However, as it would not actually exist, once the 'AR' was disengaged, the building would in fact be as intact as it had been prior the summoning.

[Astral did anything you say make sense?]

[thebeastwithout]

...Dude, that's like virtual reality video games. We're pretty much all waiting for those to be invented.

[originalnumber]

Ahh! So then I have in fact been playing 'video games' for a majority of my time in the human world!

Interesting... [Oh Astral...]

...I have forgotten to ask your name- Forgive me. I am 'Astral'. You are?

[thebeastwithout]

Beast Boy.

But hold it! So... You're from the future?! And... they've got virtual reality video games, then!?!

[Beast Boy's voice could crack glass.]

The parallels between Yuuma and BB are now impossible to avoid. :U

[originalnumber]

I suppose I am.

However, I was only in that form of the human realm for a few months before arriving here- I know very little of even that version of the 'world' as it exists, and even less about where I came from prior that.

[Evidently, your voice is so similar to a certain young boy back home that he doesn't mind.]

[thebeastwithout]

Take me back with you.

[Who cares about all of that other stuff. Beast Boy is drooling into his phone.]

[originalnumber]

Aah- I'm sure that if I knew how to return, I would... [Erm.]

Alternatively, perhaps I could demonstrate if the deck and equipment are returned to me?

[thebeastwithout]

Yes.

[After a few more moments of drooling, Beast Boy recollects himself with an effort.]

I can't believe virtual reality games actually exist! Gee, it's like a dream come true...

Astral should stop using complicated descriptions. D:

[originalnumber]

Aah... Well, I am not sure 'virtual' would be as accurate as 'augmented'... You are still able to move through augmented reality after all.

Virtual reality however, gives the possible sensation of movement, but is in fact taking place in a fashion more similar to 'dreams'.

It's OK; Beast Boy will just interpret them in his awful way. =P

[thebeastwithout]

...The point is, you make giant monsters sorta real and they smash buildings and fight. Don't tell me that's not amazing.

<3<3 I find it wholly ironic just whose house Astral lives in now. xD

[originalnumber]

Aah.

Well, I suppose the field altering spells would also be considered a feat...

Who's that?

[thebeastwithout]

The what?

[He would pant if he were a dog.]

630 Topper my friend. ;)

[originalnumber]

Field spells.

Field Spell cards encompass the entire limits of the duel field- they can make them appear to be anything from the ocean floor to the depths of space itself.

Oh, Raven's place? Haha, cool

[thebeastwithout]

Hey, that's pretty neat, too! People who can't get there normally will get to see it.

[Oddly enough, Beast Boy doesn't seem too excited about this. ...Probably because he's been to all of those places already.]

So I bet you guys don't have school, huh? Everyone's too busy playing games to think about that kinda thing.
