Whee old muse; specific canon is Duelist of the Roses

Well, it's certainly been a while, has it not?

No, no, I don't mean to sound ungrateful, Lady Mun -- I certainly am! It's much preferable to be awake to other such things.

However, there are certain... problems I would like to address.

First, this new way you seem to be writing my voice. It is certainly true that I am the representative of Lancaster, trusted in by King Henry himself, but I am also someone from present day. Is there any way I could conceivably talk like this?

...You will find some way to explain it, you say. Very well, then I will trust in you for it.

As for the second matter, I am not at all looking forward to seeing that man again. I hold nothing but contempt for him! Why would you assume I'm happy that he's returning as well?

[Because you flush every time his name is mentioned?]

I-I do no such thing! Kindly stop with this nonsense!

Gee, I dunno... There's a few people around who talk like that.

...Around the age of sixty something... [Smirk. And... 'That man'..? Hnnnn...]

...This isn't gunna take a 'shojou chick flick' route is it..?

Are there really? ...I suppose that's true. Though she's considering either that I truly do speak this way or I've simply "adapted to the times," as it were.

[Yes, she's ignoring that age crack. Screw you.]

I have no idea what that means, but no, I'd hope not. "That man" is Seto C. Rosenkreuz, a fairly major thorn in my side.

[Hehehehee. Still grinning because verbal ignorance isn't always ignoring it and full. ...Awhat now-]

Seto? Weird name for a European guy... What'd he do, steal your butter churner? [It's like the insults just write themselves...]

No no no. He is a reincarnation.

...No. More fitting, the Seto Kaiba of your time is the reincarnation of the Seto C. Rosenkreuz in my time -- that time -- whatever it is. He is a very dangerous and very strong man and one not easily dealt with.

That he let me go so easily and accepted Harriet without hesitation... it worries me.

((A note: her version is slightly AU because there are two Duelists, one for each side, but they're actually working against both sides.))

[[There's an app on Ryuzaki's page that has his backstory and what makes it AU himself, if you're curious. >u>]]

[STAREEEE.] Seto Kaiba is a reincarnation of...

[...Hahah... Hahah] hAHAHAHAH. AHAHAHAHA- WOW, WHAT? [Someone's skeptical.] I somehow get the reincarnation bit, but who names their kid Seto in those countries??

[Ahaaa... He loses the grinning when you mention someone going missing oddly enough- oh look, a Ryuzaki who cares more than he lets on.] Eh..? What, you worried he'll do something to her then?

Mmm, it is silly, but our Mundanes -- Harriet's and mine, that is -- treat is as a translation error. While Seto is a strange name, it's at least passable -- the translation has King Henry ask us to call him Yugi, and we simply toss that out altogether, alongside renaming some of those who were named, such as your ancestor and Bakura's.

[She smiles gently at his concern, but her own is very clearly written on her face.]

Yes. As I said, he is a very dangerous man and -- as Lady Mun has informed me -- he was even playing his side for his own gain.

I feel that our plot cannot go unnoticed by him for long -- assuming that he does not already know, of course. And that means that Harriet is in the most danger, since we have no way of keeping contact with one another.

[He's got an incredulous face that looks like he's about to say something about Yugi and such, but he ultimately closes his mouth to open it again and say something else.]

...I've got an ancestor! [WELL THEN.] Okay...

[MOVING RIGHT ALONG, THERE ARE THINGS MAN ISN'T MEANT TO KNOW...] Shit. Yea that sounds kinda Kaiba-y... Few friends of mine would argue but yea, I can see that... [Ryuzaki they aren't just friends arguing against it, it's your GIRLFRIEND and her BROTHER you sorry, sorry fool-] ...Shit. [You've said that twice now.] Sounds like something my mun's planning...

[Ohh! Mun is not that mean, hold on now..!]

Yes. He uses your English name and that is even less fitting in a place like England.

[....Awww, you poor thing! Here, Eleanor will be giving you a hug. <3]

Lady Mun insists on joking that I have feelings for him -- [YOU DO, DAMMIT, YOU JUST WON'T ADMIT IT] -- but I only believe that there's some good in his heart.

I... am simply unwilling to ignore how dangerous and deceptive he is.

[Sudden hissing sound.] REX... [nooooo why would they doooo thaaaaat...]

[Anyways, he'll just stare.] That so. [Hahahaha.] Eh, you know how crazy they get over these things... [Ryuzaki has no clue how mild his mun is compared to some, he really doesn't.] ...But I guess if the real Kaiba can do some good so can some weird past life of 'm...

...Despite the obvious you brought up, hahahaha... [YES. The obvious. There's worse though he figures, there really is.]

Yes. I know from the "York" ending that he is a good man, deep down. It's just that he's only a good man to those who he considers his comrades and friends, and that is... a difficult position.

You can understand how awful it is to have such a man as an enemy, I hope...

Huhh... Guess it's all a matter of perspective then.. [He'll never understand what the others see in that guy though.]

Hah! Shit, I wouldn't want to be seen as an annoyance let alone an enemy..! [TOO LATE RYUZAKI, TOO LATE, YOU'RE AN ANNOYANCE.]

Thankfully, the you as you are now does not exist in that time, and the you as you were then is one of his dangerous Rose Crusaders.

I... am just afraid, I suppose...

[Wut.] ....Rose... Crusaders...?? [Whaaaaat kinda name is that, really. Shaking it off! And shrugging.]

Hey! It'll probably go fine, right? Mun's always have a way out of the worst right? [...ACTUALLY...]

[OH KEII-CHAN, YOU ARE SO CUTE. You think we actually give you ways out of things.]

...I don't know. Lady Mun and Harriet's Mundane have not actually written out our full history yet, so I have no idea how this will end. Lady Mun believes it will end in an all out fight when Manawyddan fab Llyr is summoned early and turns on both of the armies, during which I am supposed to save Rosenkreuz's life.

I do not know. And that is the most terrifying thing.

Ah.... [Opening mouth. ...Closing it.]

...OKAY THEN. I MIGHT HAVE BEEN WRONG... [AAAAAHHHH He can barely even pronounce that name, what... AAAAHG.] That's... Pretty shitty.

Yea.

...The hell is mana...Weedan... ... [Frown.] ...You know what I mean.

Mah-nah-whyed-dan fab (as in fabulous) Lie-wery.

At least, that is how Lady Mun pronounces it. He is... well, for lack of a better term, he is a demon.

...GREAAAAAT.

...He welsh by any chance?

It is difficult, yes...

I... do not know? Do demons have our nationalities?

Eh. Probably not but they have given names right?

It's tongue twisting enough to be welsh. [He only knows this because he watched torchwood, the dork.]

Mm, that is a good point.

I wish I knew. He could have originally come from there, but he seemed a bit too eager to be free for him to have been in there for a short amount of time...

Well, the language is pretty old... Even for 'Tudor' days; so my bets on ancient evil wanting to get let out yea.

So that certainly makes things worse... ah, what?

...Well, Lady Mun is going to "Borrow my voice" for a second, she says. But I am not sure what --

Manawyddan fab Llyr is the Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses incarnation of DarkNite and portrayal of the Welsh mythological figure Manawydan son of Llyr. He serves as the antagonist of the game and is the only opponent the player will face irrespective of which team they side with, Red or White Roses.

He will imply that he is Darknite's brother by a saying when summoned by a Yorkist player: "First you humans awakened my brother from the sands of Egypt and sealed him away again!"

[Blink cough. Oh dear.]

...Well.

HAHAHAHAHA

WOW WHAT? Yea that's it, I need to look this up...

[And look it up he will. Right before making quite a face about it.] ...Kay...

According to the great wikipedia, Manawydan son of Llyr wasn't ever really an evil thing... [Huhhhh.]

...

The Welsh are weird. Just gonna say that now. [Oh well, England, Wales, POLITICS there we go.]

I would hardly know. [Okay ow Mun, that forcible takeover actually kinda hurts her voice.]

Either way, I've certainly told you my worries. In the end, I unfortunately cannot oppose her decision.

Eh.

Least yours didn't pit you against 'Yami no Malik'.

[HE SAYS THAT SO CASUALLY, DOESN'T HE.]

Yes, Lady Mun read your profile.

All I can say is... that I am sorry.

Mn? [Looks oddly surprised about that.]

You're apologizing? [Evidently he's not aware that others were 'sorry' as well.]

That you had to suffer such a thing. No one should have to go through that sort of trial.

Oh.

[He shrugs.] Eh. It was that or everyone died really...

I know, but that does not mean my point is invalid. No one should have to suffer a trial like that.

But it is admirable that you did. That would make you a hero. And Lady Mun has told me that there is one thing heroes deserve.

[Here, Keiichi, have a cheek kiss~]

Hah! A hero? Gee, tha-

[SHGSGHSGHSghsghs KISS WHAT-]

AhaAHAHAAAAaaaaaaAAAAAA- [WHATWHATWHAT]

...Is something the matter?

[He'll just look at you with a face. YOU KISSED HIM...]

...What?

That is what Peach does to Mario, is it not? I just thought it was fitting after Lady Mun brought it up...

AH-

I ain't the 'Mario' to your 'Peach' lady..! [Perhaps not, but that doesn't stop the mun from cackling endlessly about it.]

My~ goodness! Is this the extent she'll go to prove her mun wrong about Rosenkreuz? How scandalous.

I'm telling the town crier, Peach.

[trololol]

No one asked you, Harriet. I simply thought he deserved it after all that.

[STARESTARESTARE.]

[WELL. THIS IS AWKWARD.] ...The apology was good enough...
