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.

::President Akaba walks by, scarf flowing behind him. He seems to be heading for an elevator, Kaz.::

[ogrewarrior]

Some things don't die, even when they're from thirty years ago. He salutes as you walk by. Then curses himself. This isn't the army, but why does he give off that... Hrm.

"Mr. President, sir. May I have a moment of your time?"

[ruleroftheend]

Five minutes. Ten at most if necessary. Start talking. Avoid pleasantries or formality.

[ogrewarrior]

"Y'sir.

I'd like to hold a New Horizons event for self-defense, for which I'll need the action dueling facilities. If trends in dueling continue as they have, I'd like to have these kids prepared to face the like of the Crusher when they get out of our school and into the pros. Not to encourage the violence, like the Junior League seems to, but enough they don't end up populating hospitals."

::I want to toss out those Ryozanpaku delinquents at this point. I don't like the impression they give to Reira. But with Academia coming, they're an ugly necessity...::

Give me 24 hours to think about it. I'll sign off on it or deny it by then.

[ogrewarrior]

"Thank you sir.

And, ah. About Ryozanpaku. Should we allow them to participate as well, if I'm approved? I haven't seen anything official about condoning the violence, but... Should we spill that into New Horizons as well?"

[ruleroftheend]

... No. They aren't to be allowed in. Nor do I suspect they will come. Their teacher keeps them under lock and key off hours practically, at all times, of what reports have crossed my desk.

[ogrewarrior]

A small nod.

"Yeah? Alright. ...Poor kids."

A sigh.

"And I'll need to talk to Miss Hiragi as well at this, I ran into a girl that I thought was her and.. Then she got scared of an XYZ deck and ran." Blinks. "Sorry, Mister Akaba. Wondering aloud."

[ruleroftheend]

... Scared?

[ogrewarrior]

"I dunno. I thought she was a Ryozanpaku lookalike or something, but... Yeah. Terrorists using XYZ decks? The more I think about it, it was a super surreal conversation. Some military dueling school I'd never heard of and ain't on anyone's websites.

Sorry, rambling."

[ruleroftheend]

Write down a complete report of everything you remember about your conversation immediately. Your optional course is approved immediately, as well. And no, at the moment, you aren't privy to why I want that report NOR why I just approved your coursework.

"On some dumb teenager who was probably playing pretend so-

...yeah. Yeah, alright."

He straightens.

"Anything else, sir?"

[ruleroftheend]

Find anything else you can about that girl, if you have time.

You will be reimbursed accordingly. And can mark down any money or time used as a Leo Corp expense, to be paid in full, no questions asked.

[ogrewarrior]

"...Yeah. Yeah, gotcha Mister President."

Oh boy it's me, the shittiest man on the planet, thrown at the whims of the eccentric and the rich.

"I have questions about other things, when ya've got time, but that's clearly not now."

[ruleroftheend]

Tonight. My office. I will make time.

You will be searched before entering.

Midnight. Be prompt.

[ogrewarrior]

"...Yessir.

I won't disappoint."

::Reiji walks off, quickly into an elevator. Pressing a button and looking into your soul, Kaz.::
