[The weather wasn't the only thing to catch Kaiba off guard- the presence of the shorter duelist was enough of a surprise for him. For the longest time the void seemed set on tormenting only one Domino denizen, just what sort of game was it playing at now by shifting it's focus? At least the journey to the café had been uneventful, once inside however something just felt off. Emptier than usual, somehow. Not allowing himself much time to focus on this sensation it wasn't long before the pair of them had their respective drinks of choice. Even if Kaiba had to resort to preparing his own coffee.
Nicer wasn't generally in Kaiba's vocabulary. No. Yugi was meant to know what those actions meant and comply; which he had.
You consider this.... normal? [Waving a hand to indicate that perhaps there was something peculiar about this structure Yugi hadn't considered. The mismatched menus and lighting weren't exactly the most damning evidence, but the exterior looked more rough than the interior with the thick pipes running in and out of the building and the general look of dilapidation. Aside from that, despite having been cobbled together via the combination of Café Leblanc and 7th Heaven it wasn't all that bizarre. Kaiba was nitpicking.]
[The unusual circumstances had led to this almost unnatural scenario. He certainly never envisioned himself sitting casually across from Yugi Mutou to have a chat. Outwardly there wasn't really a noticeable difference in Kaiba. Internally was another story. He would be lying if he said this place hadn't had an effect on him, and lying about that was almost a certainty.]
Let's get some of the more obvious questions out of the way first. [Sitting him his chair with both his arms and legs crossed, he let his steaming cup of coffee rest on the table as he spoke] No one knows who is behind this or what's truly going on. Originally there wasn't any sort of landscape, there was nothing but white for as far as the eye can see. Progressively over time the topography has altered and various establishments and creatures just appeared.. there is one common thread between them, and that is they represent ideas contributed by those gathered here but warped and combined into new creations. Like this café we're sitting in as elements from two different businesses infused into each other.
I should note that the natural laws don't always apply in the manner we would expect them too either. For a time, sleep and sustenance were unnecessary now both are required and there were consequences for having shirked in tending to these basic needs beforehand. [Yeah... not having to eat or sleep suited Kaiba just fine so it was a rude awakening] I suspect this is a highly advanced simulation of some kind, but the consensus among the others tends to disagree with me.
