Not my Mai!
Oct. 23rd, 2004 10:54 amWhat have they done to my Mai's voice? It's a totally different actress who's trying too hard; I can tell. And this whole Alister thing (not to mention his whack Aussie accent, though I love it, is weird for his character) pisses me off. (Or am I just confused? Is it Alister, or is it Varon --who they're calling Valon? Isn't the redhead Alister? Aka The Duelist Formerly Known as Amelda?)
I've missed the following eps, too: Deja Duel (Parts 1 and 2), plus An Unexpected Enemy. But at least now I know, so I can catch them on reruns or downloaded offline. Er, online? Online to offline? Whatever. On top of this, what's with this so-called "Sparrow" formation? It's SUZAKU, dammit! And the "Phoenix" formation, last time I checked, was the SEIRYUU formation! -_- I hate it when they change the names like that. Suzaku would have worked with Phoenix, and Seiryuu could have been Dragon. BUT NOOOOOO...
Ooh, and I'm also reorganizing my memories so it's easier to find LJ-fics, my challenges, and other people's challenges... along with everything else under the sun. I'm tempted to make some challenges that would seriously alter the continuity of the story. That is, REAL "ARs."
In today's episode "My Freaky Valentine," (episode 152) Joey faced dark!Mai in a duel where Mai, powered by the Seal of Orichalcos, seriously has the upper hand. She's got a new deck, a new style, a new duel disk, and a new attitude-- so how can Joey possibly win? At 200 Life Points (and Mai still at 4000), there doesn't seem to be much hope. He can fight his hardest and defeat Mai-- and have HER lose her soul, or LOSE to her... and maybe save her. So he'll forfeit.
At least, he tries to, before Yugi interrupts him. But what if Yugi didn't stop Joey in time, and the moment Joey said "I quit" and surrendered the duel (by placing his hand on his deck in the Duel Disk), he DID forfeit-- the duel, AND his soul?
Write me some outcomes-- either short one-shots, drabbles, vignettes, doubleshots... whatever floats your boat. Link to them in the comments, and if you write these responses in your own LJ or whatever, please make sure to LJ cut them behind so the challenge isn't spoiled for others. Standard policy, see?
Have fun.
