Not literally at least? [The sass. It's not said maliciously. As far as anyone knows, Seto "Screw the Rules" Kaiba got that permit however he wanted. But if it's any consolation Ann, things like "rules" or "logic" don't seem to have much of a place in Domino when it suits the plot.]

Yeah, we were in the same year, and our school wasn't exactly fancy or prestigious. Though I didn't see him come back all that much after the first while. [Actually, did he come back at all? Then again, Yugi meandered off to play card games on an island, and then card games in a city that Kaiba sort of founded, and then card games in America, and then card games in Egypt... yeah, Yugi didn't go to school much either. See: "rules" and "logic" not applying to Domino. Though, to be fair, he did go back to attending school regularly after the Egypt shenanigans.] It doesn't really surprise me though. He's already really accomplished and smart, and I can't imagine running a corporation on top of trying to get through high school...

[Are there embarrassing stories? There are stories Kaiba would find embarrassing, but that's not quite the same thing. Give him time to think though and Yugi should be able to think of something that's a painless, guilt-free embarrassing story for them to bond over. Maybe over some cookie wager assistance.]

I know we're, you know, here, but I honestly can't even imagine that. I've always lived with Grandpa, and we live where he works so... he's always around. [Yugi is, in fact, the senpai here, because:] Oh, we are then! I just turned eighteen. [Have fun having half a foot on your senpai, Ann.]

Ah, that sounds... oddly specific...[Those war flashbacks come full circle, I see.] But the rest of it sounds pretty good! Chalk flinging aside, it sounds like you have a handle on it.

That's... a little frightening. [ Is Yugi sure he wants Seto to take him up in that jet? Because she's a little dubious about it herself, dude. ]

Wow! Didn't come back, huh? I'm not surprised either, he told me a long time ago that he tested out of Domino, which sounds like it might be for the best 'cause he says he's usually pretty busy with his company and his younger brother. [ Mokuba. She's seen Mokuba via Kaiba's memories, at least, one memory that wasn't very pleasant. ] It must be a lot of pressure, being so young and having all that weight on his shoulders... I'm surprised he doesn't have wrinkles yet.

[ Tell them to her, Yugi. They can munch on snacks and practice dueling and exchange what will probably be hilarious Kaiba stories. ]

It could be kinda rough at times, and I'd be lying if I said there weren't times I wasn't super pissed off that they paid more attention to their work than me... [ All the times she'd tried to call and contact her mother, specifically, about a certain piece of shit volleyball coach, and all of those calls getting sent to voice mail to the point she'd just given up entirely. ] That sounds really great, though! Great and convenient! Does he ever make you work there, too?

[ Short senpai-- ] Ooo! When's your birthday? Happy belated birthday, how's adulthood feel so far? You know, aside from the weirdness that is all of this?

[ Chalk hurts, man. Fortunately Ren came and took her place as the newest victim to the chalk, even if he's learned to easily move out of the way at this point. She's also learned not to fall asleep in class. Score. ] Ahaha, a little specific, maybe. It's not too bad, no! And I do, now at least, thanks to my friends. It was a little bumpy for a while there, but it's pretty good now.
