There were only really three places in the entirety of the island that Yugi ever found himself going to: school, his work with Alessandro, and his apartment in the Star Block. Sure, there were plenty of things to see out there. The beaches made for a wonderful view, from what he'd seen of them, and there was supposed to be so many things to do at the Observation Deck and in the Shopping District that it would take months for a person to experience them all back-to-back. And her certainly would have been all for seeing these sights and doing these things... had it not been for the fact that he was still rather lacking in what was affectionately referred to as the “friend department”. It wasn't anything he wasn't use to. Yes, he'd always had Anzu to rely on, but more often than not, in the days leading up to his piecing together of the Millennium Puzzle, she was off doing her own “thing”, spending time with friends who weren't terribly awkward and didn't know what to do about anything that didn't somehow involve a game. He loved her to death, he swore, but even back then, it was easy to think that he was all alone in the world some days. Things had changed for the better with a lightning quick pace once the Puzzle had granted his wish for friends, but now, it was like all of that effort had been for nothing. Alessandro was a better boss than he could have ever hoped for in a place of work not ran by his grandfather, but to call him a “friend” would have been quite the stretch. And school? Well, bullies will be bullies, particularly when a person had a head of hair like his. (Although, thankfully, the bullies here weren't as inclined to knives in their personal forms of vocal and physical aggression as they were back at Domino High. Yeesh.) The end result was a daily pattern that almost never wavered, and even if it did, it never fell off track by any more than ten minutes. Once, he'd been mugged in an alleyway for having an unintentional schedule that he followed so closely – again caused by having nowhere to go but between home, school, and maybe the arcade if he didn't have any better games to play in his room. But that sort of thing wouldn't happen here, right? Crime didn't exist. (He'd never witnessed a man get run over in a car intentionally; his mind couldn't recall, so it never happened at all.)[break][break]

He was walking back from school then, counting his lucky stars that the day he walked home with more homework than most was the day that he had off from work this week. Realistically, the time he'd earn from not having to show up to the tailoring shop would only end up being put toward playing the new Guilty Gear game – er, well, the Tomodachi Island equivalent of, Regretful Machine, anyway – rather than actually working on his assignments, but at least he had time to play anything today! That, and if his teachers expected him to walk away with a “B” average or above, that was their own fault for expecting too much of him. (At this rate, he'd be lucky if he saw a single “C” on his report card. Miserably, he reminded himself only for a second that there would be no mother at him to scold him for it.) So occupied was he on the idea of starting up a brand new game for the very time that he didn't notice the sound of another person walking down the same route behind him. An oddity for this place at this time of day; he took the scenic route because it was the only excuse he had to see something other than streets and the residential areas outside of school, work, and gaming at home. Just because he, himself, did not notice the change, however, didn't mean that someone else didn't. Namely someone more capable of recognizing the situation for what it was. A thought – I wonder which character I'll play - – cut tragically short. (Someone else was in control now.)[break][break]

“There are better ways to say hello,” 'Yugi' began calmly, turning around to meet his pursuer – only to find himself startled by the appearance of the man in question. The signs had accurately told him that he'd been followed (the specifics of exactly how long weren't clear, but it had to have been for at least a few moments of silence), but it hadn't prepared him for the sight presented before him now: an exact replication of his own form, sans the school uniform and baring a skin color much darker than anything a near shut-in of a teenager would ever get to in his life. Sharper eyes, a darker expression. (It looked more like the 'him' now than the host he didn't even realize he was possessing.) A doppelganger? He'd had to deal with one too many of them to be able to trust them now. Whatever this copy-cat was following him for, he didn't care to hear it. Still, his expression didn't betray the jolt of a shock he'd felt at seeing his features on another person's body; he smiled onward, small, impish, arrogant maybe, and teased continued his tease: “Especially to someone who shares the same face. … Who are you?”

He knew from memory still fresh in his mind that whatever Yugi saw, he would as well, so to try and wait around would only delay the inevitable. The Pharaoh was already having trouble thinking of the parallel spirit he would no doubt face as himself. He'd never thought he'd have to look his dark past, the times where he had thrown Yugi's wants aside still torn him up at times, and to face the image of himself that thought that it was right...well, it would irk anyone. But he kept his face carefully neutral, even when he was addressed almost instantly, before he could get a word out himself. Just from the tone he knew right away that he wasn't speaking to Yugi. Atem's face hardened, dangerous eyes narrowing further. [break][break] To wear such a judgmental expression wasn't the best of ideas, as he knew his past well enough to know that it would likely cause some sort of undesirable reaction, however small...but he could barely help it. Especially at the smile that the ghost pulled across Yugi's features. When he had been part of Yugi, it'd felt like a partnership, a true display of their companionship. But watching it unfold through another pair of eyes like this, suddenly he felt it was a sick mockery. It reminded him of a puppet dancing on strings, wooden limbs contorting wildly, drawn face static and unblinking. Atem had many second thoughts, hesitance about getting involved, but overall he knew his first duty, if available to him, was to watch over Yugi, no matter the timeline or universe. Certainly in his past he'd never been transported to this island. There was no telling what kind of effect it would have, so it was better to make sure nothing horrible happened than to simply observe the changes that came with it.[break][break] "I'm you. Although you in particular are stuck in the past." Atem told him simply, not beating around the bush since it would only make the situation more confusing. The Pharaoh thought about elaborating, to tell his past self that he was not Yugi, but it wasn't like he had any proof (that he would believe) — the way he'd found out his identity was through the assistance of others. He was ill-prepared for this. Luckily, he was naturally skilled in improvising. "I know without a doubt that I can challenge and beat you at one of the...Games, you are so fond of." He spoke the word with some distaste. And then paused for a moment, memory fuzzy. How far in the past was this, exactly? He couldn't be certain he would take the obvious bait. With the arrogance on his features...there was a chance. "Since it stands to reason I would have more experience and skill than a mere ghost of myself..." It didn't matter much if he refused, as this was something of an impulsive move on Atem's part anyhow. It was his pride at work...he was not wishing to be labeled a liar by anyone, especially not his own reflection.
