[Oh... Yusuke suddenly looks pleased about something.]

I believe I understand now. You are a "tsundere", meaning you behave outwardly cold while hiding your true feelings. It is not the first time I have encountered someone who displayed similar behaviour.

[Nods to himself!!! He's a genius.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

...That is the most preposterous thing I have ever heard, and Dave Strider just tried to convince me of the organizational skills of the Insane Clown Posse.

[wantsnudes]

Yes, it's only fitting of such a personality that you'd deny it... [SMUG.] But what is this about clowns?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

It's fitting of reality that I'd deny it, I have no need to lie to you.

[he dumps the wood with the rest on the sled, offended by the very thought of someone thinking he had any "deres," much less with tsuns attached]

The clown nonsense is equally ridiculous. He claimed they have priests as part of their little horrorcore rap unit. Note that they are baffled by the workings of a magnet, just to let you know the intelligence level we're working at.

[wantsnudes]

[It's too late, Yusuke is already convinced Kaiba is Nice People, no matter how much he tries to grump his way out of it. Yusuke deposits his own logs onto the pile with a sigh of relief for his poor noodle arms.]

Frankly, I'm not sure I understand a word Dave says at the best of times... What's "horrorcore"?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Most of what he says is ridiculous, so you aren't missing much. As for horrorcore, it's a sub-genre of rap music with "spooky" beats with topics that tend to overlap with slasher movie tropes. At its best it's still bad. Don't ask why I know this.

[since everything seems to be gathered, he takes the sled and starts walking it down to the cabin. home stretch!]

[wantsnudes]

I see! So two art forms, film and music, are blended together as one. That is truly fascinating... Perhaps I should ask Dave about it later.

[Yusuke follows, somehow managing to avoid getting distracted, this time around.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

You do that. He'll probably get a kick out of it.

[no one's getting lost this time! NO MAN LEFT BEHIND let's just dump this and be warm for once]

[wantsnudes]

As would I. I am always looking for ways to expand my creative horizons.

[Not that he knows a lot about either horror movies or rap, but??? Once they finally arrive back at the cabin, Yusuke helps carry the second batch of logs inside. After topping up the fire a little and making sure it's still burning brightly, he flops down to sit on the couch, exhausted.]

Ahh... I have never been so appreciative of heat until this moment.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

And here after yesterday I thought I'd be happy never to deal with heat again. Now I'm wishing we could go back to the beach.

[despite having dropped the logs and stuff, Kaiba doesn't remove his coat or even move to the couch, just kind of awkwardly crouches in front of the fire, as if attempting to warm his hands under the pretense of further messing with the logs despite Yusuke having done a fine job of fire management]

[wantsnudes]

The grass is always greener, or however the saying goes...?

[Or sand and snow, not grass, in this case. Yusuke's managed to shed his coat, but is glued to the couch enough that he's just left it folded over the back of the chair for now. Although there is one thing that will make him move--]

Hmm... I believe the call of hot chocolate is beckoning to me. Would you like one, too, Kaiba-san?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

There's quite a bit to be said for temperature-controlled environments.

[He actually turns to look at Yusuke's offer, confused...though eventually he shrugs and goes back into glaring the fire into somehow becoming hotter]

...Fine, so long as it's hot.

[it IS right there in the name]

[wantsnudes]

I didn't offer a cold chocolate, did I?

[Yusuke gets up to make them both the drinks. He adds a generous amount of cream and marshmallows to his; having unlimited access to food and snacks is still a novelty, when he's used to going hungry all the time, so he still wants to take full advantage of it. He doesn't add any toppings to Kaiba's to be on the safe side, though.]

Here you are. [He returns, handing him the drink.] Would you like to join me?

[He gestures to the couch. Squatting like that all evening would probably be uncomfortable...]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

...

[...Then, quietly goes and sits like a normal person, legs crossed. He gives the hot chocolate a tentative sniff before just wrapping his hands around his cup.]

How can you drink it with all that stuff in it?

[wantsnudes]

[Yusuke moves to sit beside him.] You eat the toppings first, or wait for them to melt. If it's too messy, it's best to use a spoon, as though eating a sundae.

A friend introduced me to drinking them this way. Ann loves sweet things, so--

[...Oh, right, Ann. Yusuke's expression falls, and he goes silent.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[Kaiba lets the silence sit for a while, slowly rolling his mug between his palms. At length, and with no small reluctance:]

...Did you want to want to talk about it?

[wantsnudes]

[Yusuke takes a sip of his drink, although it's become kind of hard to enjoy it, now.]

...I'll be all right. I'm going to do everything in my power to save her.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Oh? What's your theory, what've you got planned?

[wantsnudes]

One of the prizes is the ability to revive another contestant, yes? I have evidence to prove our hosts are capable of such a thing. If I survive this to the end, I can help her.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

...There's actual evidence they can do anything other than drop us off at various locations?

[wantsnudes]

That's right. I won't say who it is, but I know of someone brought back by them once already. There's no reason to assume they're lying about their capacity to do so again.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Hm...

So your aim is to wait it out, hope the hosts can be taken at their word.

[wantsnudes]

It's all I can do. I don't want to even consider the alternatives.

[Not if those alternatives mean giving up on his friend.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

...

It's difficult with all of our contact with them happening remotely. Though I can't blame them for not wanting to take us on face-to-face. Tends to give negotiations a different balance, as it were.

[wantsnudes]

Yes. They've made too many enemies already for it to be wise to place themselves amongst us.
