Kaz is doing fine. He's not in some sort of strange state of simultaneous shock and happiness, that'd be crazy talk! ... okay, he's in a state of weird shock with how weird his life has gotten in the last two weeks, let alone last few days. It's probably fine. Kaz can be found:

1. In his personal office at 'Infernal Mysteries' filling up a suitcase. You either have an appointment or you're dropping in on him unexpectedly. Either way, it's the same stuff: Clothes, a wicked looking axe, some sort of tactical gear, ingredients that seem like they could be used to make bombs... The suitcase is clearly not normal.

2. At Flamvell, getting a steady stream of food and carbs and, weirdly enough, just mostly low alcohol beers that he's treating like most people treat water. He seems more... pensive than usual. Like he's got alot on his brain.

3. Out and about, jogging through the park, working out at a gym, or even some agility course. He absolutely still 'has it' though he seems a bit slower than the last time he was really active.
ogrewarrior: (You're my WHAT)
Ugh, you go and check out one place on an anonymous tip and you wake up missing a week...

I'm not even hungover. What the hell happened?
ogrewarrior: (wat)
Kaz is standing in front of his 'detective agency', staring at the sign. 'Infernal Mysteries' in a fancy cursive font. Then to his phone. Back to the sign. Up to the sky. Then back to his sign.

He looks slightly bewildered and the cycle shows no signs of stopping. You should probably try and break him out of it.
ogrewarrior: (Actual serious face time)
Kaz bursts through a portal, all hellfire and brimstone and style. His steed is literally on fire, smoke billows from his nose, and the horrid designs on his poncho seem to waver in the light, making him look like he's covered in eyes.


A long pause.




"Wait. Where the hell am I?"
ogrewarrior: But really if you were me you'd be smug too (I am a little smug)
So, space detective.

You guys left yet? And if ya haven't, ya got room for one more?
ogrewarrior: I'm actually imagining dinner right now (Deep Thought)
A not needed to understand this post short story, but maybe to understand other character's actions. Quarter recent events, three fourths flashback. A Kazback.

Kaz has standing business! Thankfully, this is because he is very busy and has a tendency to drag his feet and not because the person writing him disappears for half a week at a time.

He's either:

1.) Hanging out on the Barian island. More books, more relaxation. Make sure he doesn't get that in.

2.) On LDS' campus, waiting for some of his 'special classes' to start. And maybe congratulate some people in person, since they've done so well.

3.) Maybe he's at your house after some agonizing soul searching, dressed in a suit, trying really hard to look professional. ... it's very hard for him.
ogrewarrior: (Well y'see...)
Damn. He was hoping that he'd manage to get all of his ducks in a row before THAT happened. At least it looks like Marias and Akaba wailed on him enough to put him down for a while...

So, Kaz can be found at LDS. Probably in places a scuzzy looking fellow like him shouldn't be. Like on his way to see Akaba. With the current problems, he has at least left his sword with security.
ogrewarrior: But really if you were me you'd be smug too (I am a little smug)
The day's here, oh boy oh boy. You've been tapped by Kaz for training, special or otherwise. He's spread you all out through the day, so you've got what seems like a fairly short amount of time for a one on one, if you've cheated and communicated with the people near your block.

Before you've come, there was a short survey of what action fields you wanted help 'ingraining' and what you think your deck's greatest strengths and greatest weaknesses are, as well as what sort of deck you wanted to duel against.

When you arrive, he's got a folder with your name on it he's flipping through. If you're doing this in a certain way, with a bike or have news to deliver with a sibling, he's more than willing to accommodate.

[Private Journal to: Tsurugi, Garum, Landrobe]

Oy, you three. I've got some special classes starting up and you three made my first round of cutting wheat from the chaff. Got some pull at the college. Gonna count as classes there for you, Tsurugi, all expenses covered. Ya just gotta show up. And credit at DA, Landrobe.

... sorry to say, Garum. Ya ain't got much of a choice. I'm yanking ya into my program.

[Private to Sylvia, Yasha, Trendafilka, Yuma, Yuzu, Gogenzaka, and Yuya]

So, uh. You folks made a pretty big splash in the junior league. So, on the weekends I'm gonna run some extra courses if you're interested...?

I know you guys aren't exactly all fans of LDS, but. I've gotten a ban to be lifted on one of you, you just can't touch expensive looking things. Trendafilka. And we're not weird or shifty. Comparatively. Though, uh. If we're running small schools out of business in other cities...? I get the anger.

[Private to Kiko]

Daughter.

[Finally: An Event]

Kaz is sitting outside of a testing room, ice pack over one eye, muttering about 'how much he hates himself' and 'that smug prick' and 'no wonder I don't have many friends.'
ogrewarrior: (Default)
A.) Immediately after Vesik duelist crashed the final duel of the night, Kaz is coming onto the chaos of the field. He didn't trample anyone to get there, which is why he took a little too long to be able to catch the giant man. ... but he's here now, to make sure people are fine. Mostly his boss.

B.) Maybe he's offered to join you somewhere to not be eavesdropped on the day after in a shady bar on a bad side of town. The patrons give him a wide berth. Or maybe you're here for some god awful reason and you run into him.

C.) Or, you can find him on the roof of a skyscraper, smoking. With a cork board, as always.
ogrewarrior: (You what punk?)
Somehow, someway, Kaz has managed to get LDS Dueling Facilities up and running amid all of the turmoil of the last few weeks. There's a few obstacle courses going, one with what looks like lilypads floating through a river and getting to the other side is rewarded with having to climb up a waterfall. The other is more stark, bleak, where the 'goal' is clambering up the sides of pillars with rocky handholds and weapons that've been jammed into the rocks.

There's a few action dueling arenas set up as well. They're under the LDS teacher's control, so you'll need to bother Kaz or Mazane or Shinji about using them. When a decent chunk of students have gathered and before they scatter to the courses and arenas, Kaz has taken a stand near a podium and looks like he cracks his neck before he booms out:


"LDS and DA students. There's been a rise of violence in the pro league we adults should be preparing ya for, not ta mention the current state of the junior league which I'm sure most of ya have encountered. This ain't gonna be a lesson in escalation. I can't teach all of ya how ta get on their level in one day. No one can.

What I can teach ya? How to control the flow of duels. Ya can't let these people run roughshod over stuff ya love and your limbs, so I have very basic self-defense and agility training. There's obstacles in these courses. Fish in the water that'll knock ya off. Some of the foot and hand-holds may not hold your weight. If ya don't wanna run grueling stuff, if ya don't wanna learn basic dodges or counters, lemme know. This ain't gonna be for everyone, and I'll mark ya off.

If ya wanna work on stuff in particular or how to control the flow of duels, come ta me, come ta one of my associates, Miss Mazane or Mister Samasu. We'll get ya working on how to interrupt any flow your opponent might try and create, with violence or not.

And if I see someone intentionally using the lessons I'm trying to pass down for self-defense against Ryozanpaku, flying knees, or people who literally crush duelists for schoolyard rumbles or hit someone who ain't willing to hit back, I don't care if it's years from now, I will yank ya outta that duel so fast your head will spin. And if you're one of my synchro kids, I might fail ya for the year. If ya ain't, your teachers, even across the ocean will be notified and I will suggest punishments that fit what crap ya were tryin' ta pull. We all clear?"

Afterwards, Kaz can be found nearly anywhere in the aforementioned areas, working with students or silently judging them. Sometimes he can be found in a spacey looking state, like he's lost in thought in one of the inactive dueling arenas. He's actually here to help, so feel free to bother him.

A short series of Kaz vignettes.

Event One:

Kaz just finished destroying Trendafilka in a duel. He doesn't look happy about it as he's taken a seat at the bar at Flamvell, nursing a water. Guy looks like he's got alot on his mind. Maybe you can help ease it? Or make it worse. Lord knows he deserves worse.

Event Two:

He's at the docks, with a huge bag next to him, eyeing some boat rentals. He looks pretty shady.

Event Three:

He's in a suit, at LDS. He's got an important meeting, it looks like. So, he's on his way to, or he's already waiting. Kaz is timely, like he's keeping it mostly together.


[Journal Post, private to Yuzu Hiragi.]

Miss Hiragi? Mister Briar, synchro teacher at LDS and officer at OOPARTS.

I've been meaning to get to ya on this, but I've been busy and ya've cropped up a few times when I've been keeping up with the junior league. There's no doubt in my mind now. I ran into a girl that looked just like ya a few weeks ago in a really shady part of town.

A log to make sense of things

[Private Journal to Kaito and Shian]

Hey guys. I think I got them. I've SEEN them. They made me forget some faces, but they had to do such a rushed botched job, I think that's all I'm missing. And I'm gonna need another back-up brain immediately Shian, before they find me. Gonna. Hang out somewhere safe until then.

[Events:]

1. Probably near immediately after the events of the log, Kaz has caused an uproar (the only thing he can cause) at Duel Academy, carrying two teenagers, one half of his face is a massive bruise, and he's waiting either in the infirmary, or outside of it, having ripped off the sleeve of his shirt to wrap around his finger. He's got a towel he's put in a jar.

2. He's on the Barian Island, book in hand, and looking rather. Paranoid and twitchy. And needs something to hide under for a bit.
ogrewarrior: (You what punk?)
After a little bit of wheedling from nerds, instead of relaxing on his one day off, Kaz can be found:

1.) On the Barian Island! He's got questions that he could really care less about but might be important down the line. So, he's here to ask them and maybe just get conversations with sane people.

2.) At a cafe in his 'way too relaxed' teacher garb. He's going over papers in a folder, occasionally puffing on his unlit cigarette in his mouth. Sometimes he consults a large cork board at his feet.
ogrewarrior: (I'm not ALL looks and brawn)
[Journal]

Ya leave for... three weeks? kinda feels like a few years and ya get back ta huge men crushing pros and tiny bandit children beating up other children.

In happier news, you're all looking at the new Synchro teacher for Leo Dueling School.

[Event]

You can find Kaz in a suit! The top two buttons of the undershirt are unbuttoned and his tie is extremely loose, but it's a suit! He's on LDS campus, with a briefcase.

Or, if you're weak of heart and can't handle that, he's in a 'Slayer' T-shirt and jeans, happily ignoring that cold is a thing somewhere high, with his ever familiar cork board.

ogrewarrior: (I'm not ALL looks and brawn)
It's his day off, so you can find Kaz:

A.) Atop something high, with a bottle of whisky and his gigantic cork board. This one still has the 'Heartland' section, but neatly divided up by almost straight lines are two other sections: One is 'That case I can't talk about' which is... blank. And the second is 'Race to the bottom' the subtitle of which is 'one of my garbage daughters will one day destroy an important feature of reality. Which one will it be first?'

Here, he's set up a speaker with his tablet and he's listening to some classic rock but seems... very distracted even though this is probably relevant problems.

B.) He is downtown, looking in and out of jewelry stores, never really saying a word.


[Bonus! Private messages.]

[Private to Shian and Kaito]

Hey, I got a weird hint. Ain't much, but... Apparently my fiance's heard rumors of a group of people that'll do hack jobs like the one on Rose. They ain't cheap and they seem to be the kind of people who'll approach you rather than you contacting them. She's also OOPARTS and has a pretty good head on her shoulders, so.

I, uh. May dip out of town for a bit, personal business calls. Anyone in particular you'd want me to hand over all my files and shit to while I'm out? And in case I'm devoured by a howling void?

[Private to Noriko]

Alright. Let's do this. Decided I don't need a deck. If what I've got don't cut it, it's a sign I don't deserve this.
ogrewarrior: (Default)
[Private to the Hothead]

Hey, man. I was thinking about it, while I tried to not burn to death. Look, there's some shit you and I got unresolved. It... you're going nuts, trying to keep calm all the time, and ya can't just lash out at the littlest provocation. Couldn't the first time we had one of these 'come to Juudai' talks, can't a year later. World just ain't that way anymore, and I know that's a goddamned shame.

I know ya chased down that psychic duelist on a bike a few months ago. I was one of the officers in the chase. Blue flames everywhere ain't exactly subtle. And now this. We gotta find a better outlet, man. I'd hate to have to actually bust ya for the damage, after all the stuff we've worked on. If charbroiling me didn't really help, yeah. We'll have that duel or at least a rematch. Come on over, help me get some tires on my bike and fix the melted wiring. Or, we try to reduce the other one to hamburger, which is also fine.

[Private to family/friends/coworkers]

I'm going to fucking hell.

[Event]

So, for some reason, you're in Kaz's apartment's parking lot. He doesn't appear to be here, but there IS a melted looking bike in the lot, with some tools set out in front of it, and what looks like melted bike goo leading upstairs to a fancy looking place.
ogrewarrior: (I'm not ALL looks and brawn)
Uh.

How would one go about... uh. Unparadoxing someone without doing any lasting damage to their psyche/memories/etc.
ogrewarrior: (Default)
1.) Kaz sits in a patio restaurant, eating a sandwich, drinking a beer, and smoking occasionally. Maybe you've called him there to meet after a nightmare meeting, or you're there to ruin his afternoon. What looks like a bakery package is at his feet He's also considering some notes on his tablet, but seems much more interested in his lunch.

2.) Or he's on the Barian island. True to his word, he has brought a few different kinds of beer, a boar hunting spear, a book, and Sullivan, who seems really excited to be there..
