[Unfamiliar with any cults that hinged their symbolism on cellos and fruit, Kaiba made his way inside. He wasn't expecting to find anything of worth, but he was making a point to stay familiarized with the terrain and it's alterations. The most innocuous looking features could be holding hidden secrets.

Not seeing the other boy at first, he strode confidently into the large room. The various building materials were in keeping with the general hodge podge that befell most structures and organisms.]

....

[So the church, was a church. Big deal. It might have made a dramatic location to hold a duel but beyond that..

Hearing the shuffling of someone else's footsteps he tensed and finally looked to the alter of..... cake?]

Of course. Why didn't I assume that from the start.... who wouldn't put a bakery inside a center for religious gatherings. [He's kidding] .. Who's there?

[zenryokubatankyu]

[So now another guy has entered. He slowly raises a brow, watching the guy step inside and take a look around. He'd briefly gotten up, peering over, only to get noticed.]

Uhhhh. Hiya! I'm here. I don't think anyone else is.

[He spoke up, raising one cake-covered hand in greeting.]

Just another confused visitor like you.

[One who took advantage of the situation, but still.]

[Kaiba's eyes travelled first to the motion, he soon realized the less than pristine condition of the digits waving at him and there was no masking the disgust that flashed over his features. A simple glance at his own attire might reveal his fastidiousness. His crisp white coat, showed no signs of dirt or damage despite the hike to get here ]

If I knew who you were, that might mean something.

[Still, it looked like he'd run into a child (based on facial features) so he'd tone down his regular levels of animosity ]

Hmph.

[He hummed and proceeded with his investigation. Even in the dim light, you could still make out where a hole had once been in the ceiling ]

[zenryokubatankyu]

[Wow, that's Dry Monster levels of chills. How cold!!! It's scary!]

I mean, I guess. Doesn't mean anything for me either, pal.

[He hopped out of his seat, walking over as he licked icing off of his fingers.]

What'cha doin'? Just lookin' around? If you're stressed, you should get a cake. It'll help.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[It wouldn't be the first time he'd ever given someone a similar impression. Kaiba could be on the intimidating side]

Maybe I was being too vague- do you have a name?

[Not that he really cared, but the boy had avoided providing it twice now.]

... Looking for anything that might hold a clue for getting out of here. [Basically. Kneeling down his smoothed his hands over the floor, looking for any portion that might be loose. Still under the assumption that this was a simulation and could be operating on RPG logic he was looking for secret compartments. Finding nothing there he moved to the walls.] I don't need it.

[zenryokubatankyu]

Oh. Um. Osomatsu! Osomatsu Matsuno. And yours?

[He watches as the guy pats around for clues, tilting his head.]

What, like a plot item? Or something like that?

[He knows video games too!]

I don't think there's anything here, but....

[He starts looking around as well, and with a hum of curiosity, starts popping the top off all of the cakes, scooping up bites with his hands and eating single bites out of all of 'em just to peer at the insides. This is plot-coupon searching, he swears. Game designers would make a puzzle like this!]

Maaaaybe? It'sh worsh a try. [He swallows.]

[blue_eyed_obsession]

Seto Kaiba.

[Waits for the instant recognition. Still waiting. Waiting. Nope. Why does no one in this dump know who he is? His was a name that usually denoted power, it inspired awe in some and intimidation in others. Being back at square one was not something he anticipated nor enjoyed.

So he continued to search instead, not paying the boy much mind.] Exactly. [At least he didn't have to explain everything]

[You know it's not at all surprising when the boy takes this as an excuse to specifically search all of the cakes. Once Kaiba had exhausted his search area he looked back up to where the hole used to be. If he could just get a closer look...] There might not be anything. [He allowed, and honestly suspected but he was desperate to get out of here]

[zenryokubatankyu]

[Jeopardy music. Yeah. There is nothing.] Dramatic name, my dude. [Well, at least he gets that it probably means something! Probably!]

Y'think? It might be more complicated when we imagine, but...I've been trying to find a way back home, too. And even going into the void hasn't helped that.
