She would however, see the red of his eyes intensify, a low guttural noise leaving him as his stare hardened and he prepared to have her taken as well, something that would strike fear into almost anyone. And he was about to follow through with it too, until his vessel spoke from within his mind.<br/><br/><i>"Alright, Your Highness, let's take it down a notch. She's not worth it...Besides, wouldn't you feel better crushing her in a Duel? Making her watch as you send her precious little dragon howling into the darkness? Trust me, just play nice for now...And put it away. Tell her you're a theme duelist and couldn't get a ringside seat for everyone, but worked out a deal to stand in the access tunnels"</i><br/><br/>The other archfiends seemed to grow restless as well, sensing their Master's distress. "Leave now, woman...Your presence annoys our Lord" spoke one of the Archfiends in a strangely gravely voice, another raising his blade and several others following suit. The Emperor let out a sigh as he contemplated his vessel's words. Before long, his posture relaxed and his voice commanded<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9400d3">"Stand down...All of you. She's not worth the energy."</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9400d3">"If it will get you to leave me alone, then yes, I obtained permission; in exchange for my performance today, I was granted leeway to be wherever I wished to be. My arrival is something of a surprise, and I would have preferred not to be seen at all."</span>Of course, this was a flat-out lie from the Emperor's standpoint; had he had his way, he would have marched out into the middle of the very first Duel and declared this Arena his. These people, his, everything his...But he was starting to see why Hotsuma had him play this out as he did now.<br/><br/>These fools clearly didn't believe in the tales of the monsters in the darkness...And going out now would only make them all think he was a fake.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9400d3">"Now, if you're quite done bothering me, please leave...The next duel is about to start and I would like to watch in silence."</span>then spoke the Emperor, that haughty 'mightier than thou' tone all too prevalent.<br/><br/><hr class="bbc-hr bbc-hr--3"/><hr class="bbc-hr bbc-hr--3"/><br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">

You were fantastic; pretty sure I saw some people practically drooling in the stands." he replied honestly; even if her timing was a little off, she still had people's attention all too well. Dark Magician Girl wasn't a card a lot of people used, but she was still very popular as a Duel Monsters mascot. Keith's eyes followed Gadget's as she looked off to his right; looks like she has some suits following her, the young man thought. And sure enough, her words confirmed it: Just like before, her father was having her tailed. And if he recalled, the old man didn't like him too much; something about being a bad influence on his daughter. Never mind that his record was squeaky clean and he actually held down a job.<br/><br/>Even so, he couldn't feeling a little bad for the guy; he was probably just trying to do his job, and she was lashing out because of what happened between her and her family. Not that he could blame her from some of the stories she'd told him (which he later found out were actually true); still, he just kept quiet and followed her until she mentioned the deck he'd built for her.<br/><br/>He still remembered it to this day: She was hugely against seeing her monsters destroyed. Never one to actually like fighting be it in the Dueling Arenas or not, she still wanted to play but the options were limited. Even so, the infamous Burn Deck - a deck that a good number of the more elite players saw as 'troll-ish' - was about one of the few viable strategies he could give to her.<br/><br/>Minutes later, he held the door open so that she could enter his room first: It was a surprisingly lavish set-up, not too shabby for someone who had a very real chance of going home today. The bed was a twin covered in blue silk sheets and pillows aplenty, off to the right was the main bathroom that had a Jacuzzi-style tub built into it with a standalone shower, and below the console that held the massive TV was a mini-fridge stocked with customary drinks and snacks for the Duelists to enjoy. "Make yourself comfortable...I don't know when I'll be going on stage next though" was his next comment after following her inside, moving to plop on the bed.<br/><br/>"So how did you land being one of the most idolized monsters in the game? I mean, you certainly have the looks no doubt, but we haven't talked in a while. Tell me what's being going on in the life of Gadget." he then quipped to her, smirking a bit as he laid on the bed on his side.
