Thread: Blue Eyes White Lover (Fox)

He'd thought there would be more of a question there, but the way it was said jumbled it all into his name pretty nicely. There hadn't necissarily been an expectation that he'd fall in line as easily as he had. But he had no qualm with how the small detail had gone at all. And actually it produced the result he was looking for earlier on than he'd expected as well. The thoughtful expression Kaiba had fell away as he looked over the shocked faces Ryou had produced with a single word. Of course it had needed to be the right one. Richards was no different though his reaction hadn't been fully audible. Standing on the opposite side of the desk his eyes were on Ryou. Although most of them were. But the outcome hadn't exactly made his decision easier. He might actually have to take a moment to decide which one he was-- Rat! The angrily spewed word cut off that thought quickly. So nevermind it anyway. Ryou, you-- And sky blue eyes falling on the speaker cut him off just as quickly. Seto was sure he knew almosy exactly what this guy was thinking. It had been the other reason he'd given the young man permission to use his name for now. He really hadn't needed to. But he did so like to make things more interesting. His attention shifted over to Ryou and then back down to his desk as a short lived, but amused hum rolled from his chest. The noise indicated a few things on its own, but he'd made the point to look at him not only so he knew his question wasn't being ignore but so he knew it was about to be answered as well. Thank you for being my second volunteer Manning. For what, you ask? Well, I'm about to tell you. He picked out his badge from the others with his free hand and weighted it against the one in his orher. But as you know time is money. I'm not going to spell it out for you so try and keep up. The fact that this game had started the moment they've walked in should be obvious to the lot of them by now. If only from previous dealings with him. So he moved right along to passing out the prizes. First place gets the trophy, he started as he lifted April's badge and pointed it toward Richards. And he continued when the man took it from him and turned back to the group. And I'm sure your dying to know what second place has landed you. Well... He sat back now, and unclipped the hook from the badge. Thanks to his earlier show not a single person in the room saw it as an unfamiliar act now. Why?! The question forced him to pause in turning toward the shredder. He'd more been expecting a complaint of unfairness. But questioning him so boldly was something no one tended to do. Too bad. With that kind of back bone he might have made a better keep than the girl for all he knew. A smirk slid across his lips as he contemplated the answer. Because I like her name. The ridiculous answer didn't help Mannings' mood. And because second place is just a nice way of saying you lost. Since I don't really feel like having 'nice guy' printed on my own badge I guess that's just too bad for you. The badge was slipped in and the shredder started. And now that round one is over, Showers get back to work. You can start by helping Manning clean out his desk. The man's anger permeated the room. And Richards didn't need the order to escort him, as well as the woman out. So his attention fell on Ryou all over again as he tapped his forfinger at his desk in front of the remaining badges to get his point across. Now it's time for round two. And just so you know, this just became the time and place.
