JUNE IS THE MONTH OF JUNE BIRTHSTONES FEELING PAIN APPARENTLY

[otoko]

the joke is pearl and alexandrite

Helloooooo everyone this is Usagi, Masumi and Gongenzaka's mun here, with some news from myself and Fearless, the player for Yuuya.

As those on plurk may have heard already, we have some BIG PLANS for the tail end of the month; specifically, to make sure it's not in the way of any previously made plans and such, it'll be going down from the 28th to the 30th--though as usual, back tags are more than welcome there, and we're actually making sure the post set-up is especially open to it. (These days just make the range for the two posts it'll cover)

So what's going on? Well glad you asked. Fearless and I have something coming in two parts; and the first part is actually pretty cheery! Basically, Yuuya and Gongenzaka are gonna fuse into a relatively tall guy known as 'Blue Apatite'.







And as you can see from the sketch in the second image, their standard form has only two arms! They're SUPER BROS after all.)

The fusion will be making a post for that wonderous occasion, and overall they'll be like that for about eight IC hours, with Fearless and I tagging people like any other standard post would go--though two lucky muses who have gotten involved with Gongenzaka and Yuuya's card shenanigans will get to duel them as well (that's where the split arms come in). (Part of the duration is to emphasize that this is a pretty stable fusion!)

The happy can only last so long though, and that's where PART TWO comes in.

During this time, we're expecting to see another member of the Arc-V cast joining in--namely 'Shun Kurosaki'! In a second post concerning the fusion, Shun's going to challenge Blue Apatite to a duel, and during this stage of the game people will be able to chat and mingle as they watch a great big show of Action Dueling in Yuuya's room.

And that is when everything will go to shit.

Shun's dueling is going to trigger a secondary personality in Yuuya, known as 'Berserk mode'. The state will cause the location of the door to vanish (thus locking everyone inside the room temporarily), and the scenery to vanish as well as the fusion locks itself together and throws itself into a violent state of rage. Yuuya's power of invisibility combines now with Gongenzaka's shield power--which in this stage, can absorb solid materials to reflect back as well--and now everyone in the room will have to fight that off! (Not fun, given that it means your only clue to his location is an occasional shiny shield)

So this post here is acting as a heads up for that. At the end of the day, the fusion battle will come to an end when Gongenzaka snaps back against his berserk partner to lock them in place until something can split them via 'Sustained Damage', but with the 'event' as it is, Fearless and I thought...

Well. It'd probably be really great to let people plot about this wouldn't it! Whether about some shenanigans with Blue Apatite in their normal state, or some combat ideas for the second half--so how about it?

Let's plot!

Oh my gosh, YES PLEASE WITH MARSHMALLOWS! Pinkie'll be excited at first because dueling you both at the same time YAY!!! (Somebody give her her deck already.)

[otoko]

I'm thinking of plotting to have Masumi and The Sinner's fusion result in a plan for the cards at least actually but either way the Gon-Yuuya fusion should easily be able to spawn the decks for both Pinkie and whoever else is involved <3

[spontaneouscombustion]

=D YEEEES! Thank you, matter generation! (But yes, please, that would be awesome, Pinkie and I have been [pardon the pun] champing at the bit for her to finally get her deck!)

[strengthinkindness]

SOUNDS LIKE FUN

Fluttershy hasn't really seen a proper duel before, so she might want to watch...

[otoko]

YEEEE. Watch the first one 'shy, the second's gonna be painful for everyone involved ever--

[strengthinkindness]

Well, she'll try to help out with the second one anyway.

BECAUSE WHAT'S A LITTLE PAIN *shot*

[camparistar]

u forgot to mention how hot gonyuu is

[otoko]

HE IS RIGHT THERE FEARLESS

IF PEOPLE DON'T SEE HOW HOT HE IS I WILL PERSONALLY FEEL OFFENDED

[camparistar]

I need to mention it though.

Because he's super hot.

[strawberry_roll]

OHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Well, Ichi almost HAS to get in on this. She's got plenty of experience powering Gon's shield, so it feels fitting that she'd have to face a powered-up version, right? Or be the one who's all "STOP ATTACKING, YOU'RE ONLY MAKING HIM STRONGER, DARN IT!"

[otoko]

sHE WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST ONE BECAUSE LITERALLY EVEN PEARL'S SPEAR IS GOING TO JUST RESULT IN

-SUDDEN RAIN OF GIANT SPEARS FROM ABOVE-

[strawberry_roll]

It sounds like, aside from Gon's intervention, their best bet would be trying to pin Blue Apatite's location down and figure out a flanking maneuver. Their shield can't cover them completely, can it?

[4thdimensional]

Doc's here to support, as usual. And possibly use his telepathy to try to sort this out.

[gemasumi]

Oh man

Careful if you try to use that to pin down Apatite first; there's a nasty darkness fueling that Berserk mode and it's not gonna feel great to the telepathic mind--

[kindergartencop]

Peridot's gonna be as far away from this catastrophe as possible, but hopefully I'll have Dennis in-game by the time it happens

granted he's probably not going to be of much use, but he'll be there anyway

[gemasumi]

Clearly Dennis should use this opportunity to knock Shun down as many pegs as possible OH NOOOOO Kurosakiiiii look what you did! -gasp-

[nailed_it]

I've been meaning to have Yang watch one of these card duels. She's big on trap cards. I MIGHT AS WELL MAKE IT THIS ONE. XDXD

Weirdly enough her current gem power is kinda...similar-ish to Gon's? So that could be interesting to see what happens there.

[otoko]

Ooooo neat! That could be interesting indeed then...

also; yang w firefist or gladiator beast deck y/y??? iGNORE ME orz

[revolutionfalcon]

What do you mean I'm not in this game yet--

Anyway yeah, this is not going to be a good moment for Shun -at all- because despite how he's been acting outwardly in canon, Shun values his comrades and Gongenzaka's really the only Standard person so far who's actively helped him, so good job accidentally killing the guy, asshole.

I suppose his impact on the combat'll depend on what power he ends up starting with? Like I am hoping for the first one listed on his app first but he'd have to keep that to sort of looking out at this point because full-on transferring his consciousness and passing out would be. A terrible idea.

[soft_focus]

what are you talking about playing dead is TOTALLY the best idea here

[strawberry_roll]

WAY TO MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION, PAL.

[exceptionallybright]

Justice Knight has been craving some entertainment lately so he'll definitely come to watch the duel.

As for the berserk part, he'll really like to participate in that too. He already has experience in dealing with (relatively) innocent people going berserk, so his reaction would be to incapacitate/restrain the fusion while avoiding hurting it. He doesn't have nets/traps/chains with him, but maybe he'll improvise.

[otoko]

ohnOOOOtrying to restrain the fusion--

I fear for you Justice Knight ; w ;

[cyan_maid]

Late to the party but I AM SO TOSSING JANE AT BLUE APATITE

[strawberry_roll]

Good to hear! We'll probably need all the calming influence we can GET.
