[Voice - video] Japanese with translation

[Post starts as someone talking to themselves while randomly pressing buttons.]

The user interface is easy enough to understand. Oh, that's where that connects. So the video comes through... and that..

[The feed switches to video and it's revealed that he wasn't pressing buttons, but was pressing the circuits inside the comm with a screw driver. The circuit board is now on the table, connected with a wire to the comm which is allowing it to continue to work.]

Huh?

[Notices the red light and looks at the comm. Seto is standing on the large office chair to reach all of his tools on the desk used to tear apart the comm.]

Whoever made this is good. It's even better than the new game systems I have, and those were amazing. If anyone's planning to yell at me, don't worry. I'll be able to get it put back together. I already reassembled the playstation.

[he prods at a few more pieces of the circuit board, which cases some interesting things to happen to the video, which are then corrected.]

Oh yeah. I was going to make an announcement later, but might as well now since it's already on. I have my own amusement park, and the numbers for it look good. Good enough, that I can make it free for any kid without parents this week.

I should turn this off before I go any further. Bye.

Hi, Ka-- I mean, Seto-kun! [[grin]]

Is it okay even if I do have my daddy here with me?

[guess who totally noticed the slip...again]

Then why can't he pay for you?

[[he can't help it! Habit dies hard]]

[[and a pause to blink a moment]] He could, couldn't he? It's just okay that I can come too, right?

Of course you can.

Kay!

I'll bring my deck! Since we didn't get to play before!

Okay. Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're a kid.

[[a laugh]] You aren't the type to go easy on anybody except Mokuba-kun!

I wouldn't go easy on him if he wanted to play. I beat him at chess all the time.

You play chess too?!

Of course I do.

I'm the best.

Even better than a gazillion year old giant robot? [[big grin. Not that Shockwave was that old NOW...]]

Better than TWO gazillion year old giant robots. [because clearly this is just exaggeration and Bakura doesn't actually know one]

[[joke's on you, Kaiba, he knows 3 of them. 4 if your secretary counts, but he's never played chess with her.]]

Uuwaaa! You should play with Shockwave, then! When he's back to being a gazillion years old and not little again! Cause he always beats me!

[older Kaiba response: That doesn't prove he's any good.]

[Younger Kaiba response:]

Sure. I can beat him no problem.

[[Old Bakura would doubt Kaiba could, but younger Bakura is even more credulous than his older self]]

Uwwaaaa, really?! I wanna see that! [[big grin]]

Bring him to KaibaLand with you. I'll beat everyone at chess.

Okay! We can play too!

If there is anything that splinters Kisara's brain just a little... it's this: Seto-who-is-not-quite-Seto as a child younger than her. Also, not the foggiest clue about any of these things he's talking about, so have a totally bewildered expression.]

...You as well, Seto? You seem to know these objects very well, even now.

And, what is an amusement park?

[Seto's memories are too fractured right now to know who she is, but there is a very nagging feeling that he knows. Not just future him would know, but that current him has seen her before. Somewhere. Decides to just answer her question]

An amusement park is a place with rides and games. It's a place that's completely about having fun.

[ignoring it isn't making it go away. He has to ask]

Do you know me?

[The idea of a place for purely fun DOES sound interesting, but then, things like that were mostly for the high-class... weren't they?]

Rides? Do you mean... horses? But aren't those for royalty? Yet, there are so many things on wheels here that seem to power themselves, as well, that are so much faster...

I do know you. You are Seto. Not the Seto I knew, because you are also called "Kaiba", aren't you? But I promised to protect you, no matter what. For that, you don't need to be the same Seto, the one who remembers.

If you have forgotten, my name is Kisara.

No, like roller coasters and haunted houses.

[and there's the word 'Kaiba' again. With all of the slips, and the fact that his amusement park is called 'KaibaLand' it's pretty easy to tell that it's his name eventually. The only weird thing is how much Mokuba doesn't want to talk about it.]

Kisara [trying out the word. That whole little speech was weird but also...right. This fractured memory thing is not okay with him.]

Just call me Seto. If you don't know what an amusement park is, you should come see it.

[Linefacing. So hard at this.]

What?

[sigh.]

Nothing. Just be careful with what you're taking apart, hm?

I can put it back together! I know what I'm doing.

I'm not saying you don't know what you're doing.

Then don't tell me to be careful.

Just watch, I'll get this back together and then I can start working on that shark thing.

Shark thing-?

[Door, slamming open. Angry glowing red eyes, ahoy!]

You will not touch my sharkticon.

[The chair slides a little, almost making him lose his balance, but he gets it back]

Is that what it's called?

[child is impervious to your scream.]

Yes, that's what it's called. Where have you stashed it?

[Silly thing must've slipped into her backpack when she didn't notice. She'll just put her hands on her hips and scowl at Seto.]

It's in the drawer. It was snapping at me.

[said bottom drawer starts to shake in response]

Yes, they have defensive programming that you don't want to mess with.

[Comes around the desk to open the draw and pull her little darling out. Poor, sad, vicious, adorable baby.]

Did you program it?

[why is the crazy lady cuddling a robot?...Adults are weird.]

No, a...friend did. Before he was 'Ported out. I did reprogram them a bit, but the initial programming was his work.

[Shut it, you. They're her pets! She'll tuck it under one arm like a toy dog to turn and face him.]

So they're important to me.

[Okay so, Johnny has been mostly ignoring the comms because of all the 9000 rules his mom drilled into his head about being really careful on the net and avoiding chatting with people he doesn't know unless he asks her or his dad first (and they're... kind of not here so.) BUT, on the other hand, this post contains the most amazing revelation ever. JUST TEXT SHOULD BE OKAY RIGHT? RIGHT.]

u have ur own park?????????

but ur a kid!!!

[Videos back, because the keyboard is currently not attached to the comm]

So what?

[Short delay before he answers back because dot dot dot dot OH HEY MAYBE--]

oh! did u get switchd w/ an older guy to? is it his park?

It's my park!

Even if I am supposed to be older, it's still me and it's still mine. I checked.
