[Video Post - Receiving Frost's invitation]

[puzzlemasters]

(Yugi recently bought a small webcam to keep in touch with Jonouchi - and the Kaibas if he can get them to answer - in California, and Honda, Anzu, Bakura, and all his other friends back in Japan - and maybe even some of his DDD friends if it will work across LJ. [He's not sure if that will work or not, but hey, nice thought, right?]  He's finally gotten it hooked up and is messing with some of the new programs that came with it.   He's also been signed into DDD on LJ the whole time and . . . is now unaware that he's recording.  9,9;;;;)

 

*A very close and out-of-focus...something can be seen on the screen, fleshtone and blond blurring together.  A voice can be heard - "Video Chat....Capture and Monitor....Tune and Control......Create Video.............huh."  The blur sits back, revealing Yugi's face as he turns around to face the rest of his bedroom.  He's the only one in there - that much is clear from the angle of the camera - and yet he speaks as if to someone*

"Other-Me, I don't remember seeing a manual in the box, do you?.........................Yup, I guess so.  They do usually put those kinds of things directly on the CD-ROMs these days.  Darn . . . "  *He turns back to the screen, his gaze below the camera*  "I'm not... finding anything.............."

*Over his shoulder, a window can be seen . . . and something small, flat, and flashing a glittery silver flits down into view from above and dives for the window sill as if to attempt to slip in under the window frame.  It's cold out, though, and the window is tightly shut.  Unable to get in, the floating thing - looks like an envelope with a blue ribbon, starts tapping against the glass.  Yugi doesn't notice at first but then he flinches and looks over his shoulder at the area he was talking to a moment ago, and then turns to the window, standing and crossing to it.*

"Huh?  O-oh!  Yes, I see it.  I wonder what it-!!!  I-it's an envelope!  A flying envelope!"  *He opens the window and catches it as it flies straight into his hands.  Bewildered, he looks between the envelope and his apparent imaginary friend, who seems to be a little taller than he, judging by the angle of Yugi's eyes.*  "It . . . looks like a letter....................Hahaa!  No, I think if anyone got an invitation from Hogwarts, it'd be you, Other-Me.  Huh, it's . . . it's from the North Pole.  It's from Frost-san!  Heh . . . yup, guess we should have known, huh?...............Oh!  Look!  Frost-san's throwing a party!  He's throwing a Solstice party next Sunday and he's invited us!  Awesome!"

*The first indication that Yugi's not just talking to himself and imagining another person is when the envelope lifts from his hand, leaving behind the card Yugi is now reading.  However, unlike before, the envelope does not flit and float but hovers very steadily, flips over, then back, like someone is holding it and looking it over . . . then the envelope returns to Yugi's hand.*

"Eh . . . w-well . . . we both do get called 'Yugi,' even by our friends.  It's really only been since we found that DramaDramaDuck that anyone's called you anything else - and no I don't count 'Nameless Pharaoh' because that's just mean.  Anyway, I'm sure Frost-san meant it for both of us...........................Hm?  The 19th?  Yup, it does, doesn't it?  Guess I better go tell him we'll be-!  Yes, we . . . unless he really did mean it for just me, but I can't think why he'd do that.  You're his friend, too, Other-Me.  I know you are!  Anyway - " *He's dropped back into the computer chair and is starting to swing around to face the monitor - and camera - again* " - let me just get online and let Frost-san know that we'd like to go to his-?!  ACK!!!  I-it's recording?!  M-mazui!  I-it hasn't been recording this whole time, has it?!"

*The soft sound of a low, amused chuckle can be heard from somewhere to the left of the microphone before the recording cuts off*

Oh, Frost-san is having a party?

[puzzlemasters.livejournal.com]

Er....yup, apparently. Have you gotten an invitation yet? Maybe it just hasn't arrived. I really should have been more careful about posting something like that! D= I can ask him if you haven't.

[strike hackable. ^_^]

No, not yet, I haven't. Even if I did, I would... sadly be unable to attend, however. I hope you enjoy the party, yourself.

((Sorry if you get this twice - my Inet's acting up and it doesn't look like the first try actually went through.))

Oh . . . I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you have an enjoyable day anyway. And thank you - I'm sure I will!

Ano... I'd offer to bring something back for you, but I'm afraid I don't have any way of getting it to you.
