1. Look- I think it's best for all parties involved if you just try to forget that when you came over all my satellite tracking was focused on locations you'd recently occupied.

2. If I have to see one more playstation 5 meme with my face spattered all over it I'm going to sue sony for everything they've got.

3. Let's just say that watching the sunrise from your own space station is really the only way to do it.

4. You blow up one high rise and some people act like it's the end of the world.

5. You would think that a full-grown man in charge of a large corporation would know better than to refer to his business partners with the suffix "-boy", and yet here we are.

I wouldn't know, mostly because watching the sunrise means being awake at the ass crack of dawn. But I'm glad you enjoy it~

That is generally what it means- yes. [The sarcasm and eye-rolling doesn't play as well in text form.] When you get a real job, life's going to get so much harder for you.

Excuse you, I have several real jobs, and I'm never late for them even if they're earlier than I'd like for them to be. Don't be mean.

I think we're employing a different definition here. You're not really trying to imply that those temporary gigs are on par with being president of a major corporation, are you?

Considering one of those part time gigs happens to be modeling your technology, yes. :)

[COUGH. How dare you throw that in his face] At least one of them is with a prestigious organization- but don't get too cocky.

[ EAT IT, NERD-- ] Of course. Speaking of which, just FYI I'm going to be out of the country on a super educational school trip for the next week, so I can't really book anything with you guys up until the end of the month.

[ It's not super educational, it's Hawaii. It COULD be super educational, but it won't be because it's Ann and she plans on wasting most of her time eating on the beach. ]

[He could still have you fired, you know.] Do you really think that's a valid excuse for missing work? I mean I'm currently out of the Earth's atmosphere and I'm not shirking in my duties. Also I find your wording dubious at best.

[ He could, and she could also care less. Where one door closes, another opens. ] I do, because unlike you, I'm still in high school, which unfortunately for us both takes priority. I still can't believe you have a space station. Also, don't worry. I'll be sure to bring you a sea shell or something. Enjoy the cold depths of space while I bask in the sun in Honolulu~.

[She couldn't hear him audibly scoff at the mention of high school. What a useless facility most of those were but hey- not everyone had undergone a rigorous learning program that he had. He couldn't argue with it being necessary for most.] Right. High School. You should see about improving your scores. What's so unbelievable about that? I'm capable of anything. [There's a pointed pause] Other than learning how to get a tan, what could you possibly be studying there? Why are you really going to Hawaii?

[ If he were to mention how useless high school is, she'd agree. It's a giant waste of time that she hates. So... useless for very different reasons. ] How do you know what my scores are? Jeez, I didn't know I had to keep them away from one of my bosses, too. It's not unbelievable like that! It's just unbelievable how accomplished you already are. When I say unbelievable, it's meant in a good, impressed context. [ ...That's. Kind of funny, and she's glad he can't hear her giggling right now. ] It's literally just a class trip. We're meant to be doing stuff, but I feel like this is going to just sort of be a quick vacation. Also, my school seems to have very little to no hold on what their students get up to, so I'm not banking on much other than laying on the beach with a non alcoholic beverage in hand.

Shujin doesn't have a crack security team. [Realizing he might have tipped his hand a little too much he swiftly moves on] Besides, background checks are a requirement. Kaiba corp is thorough. [Don't worry, some things were left out of the report] You should be impressed, given who you're talking to. [Look, he might be more used to being trash talked than complimented. His bad there] Somehow I feel this is more for the faculty's benefit than for their students. What a mismanagement of school funding... [Still, it's a loophole he can't refute. Enjoy your vacation you opportunist you]

Sure doesn't, so much for being a prestigious learning facility. [ JUST HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW SETO? ] I mean, that's not a bad thing. Safety first, wouldn't want terrorists or something working for you. [ Thank goodness, jeez-- ] Well, I'm very impressed! I'll bet the planet looks really pretty from up there. [ Don't worry, she's not gonna trash talk you, Seto. You haven't done anything to deserve that. ] I think so, too, but I guess it'll be easy enough to relax for a few days, at least. In all seriousness though, if there's anything you need for whatever reason while I'm there, I'm more than willing to go and grab it if it's in my capabilities.

[THAT IS THE ETERNAL QUESTION, ISN'T IT?] It's standard operating procedure. [Spoken like a true company man] It also looks easily obtainable. Soon- there won't be a corner of the planet that's outside of my reach. [~~How scared should you be. Kaiba is up there- surveying his kingdom. LOL~~] Heh- like what would I need you to pick up? A bottle of milk.. I think it would be spoiled by the time you returned to Japan.

[ THIS IS CONCERNING ] Of course it is. [ Seto... she squints at her phone. ] That sounds like some doofy evil mastermind NPC dialogue. But whatever floats your boat! [ ~~VERY SCARED LMAO~~ ] I was thinking more along the lines of any sort of cards that may be in the area or whatever, but I can try to smuggle a pineapple onto the plane if you want. I can probably do it.

My Dad sometimes challenges people to sword fights? It's embarrassing. Please tell me that wasn't your Dad or whatever.

[Kaiba might have legitimately choked on the coffee he had been attempting to drink when he read this next text. Thankfully since it was only a text, he couldn't increase his embarrassment any further.]

If he was I would have found a way to be emancipated by now.

[Please don't let Pegasus ever see this, or he'd never hear the end of it]

Heh, though my father was worse

[ Annie is helping. Gotta test those wind pipes. ]

Embarrassing Dads are the worst.

[ Somewhere one Maximilian Pegasus is laughing and he has no idea why. ]

Yikes? I'm not going to ask. I know better. Some things you just don't talk about.

[Helping him into an earlier grave maybe]

Trust me, the man in question would be an abysmal parent. Any unfortunate offspring of his would end up being the more mature of the two.

[Tbf. That's how Pegasus spends most of his time, isn't it?]

Emphasis on past tense, my father is deceased. Have you thought about having yours committed?

[ He has to test out strong his heart is somehow. What happens when his little brother does something crazy? ]

I know the feeling. I love my Dad but when his quirks kick it into high gear I feel like I'm the rational one.

[ Does Seto want to confirm or deny that thought?

Really? ]

One day I'm going to end up taking over. Family legacy and we basically boost the local economy in a remote area. If you don't have a generational farm or trade you probably work for my family kind of deal. It's a lot of responsibility I'm not ready for. I want to at least get some experience. People deserve a boss who knows what they're doing. As eccentric as my Dad is he's good at running the business side of things.

[Mokuba has more sense than most- ~~but now that the possibility is out there Seto can fret about it sufficiently. Just how rebellious is Mokuba going to be in his teenage years!~~]

Conversely, I never want to hear the word love paired in the same sentence or paragraph with the person I was referring to.

[Not really. He just assumes Pegasus wiles away his free time sipping wine and reading funny bunny comics, while chuckling at all the inane jokes therein]

Funny. I don't recall asking for any of this additional information, and yet... [Trying to discourage small talk whenever possible] I've already taken over the family business, completely overhauled it, increased our profit margins, and expanded our market reach so you'll forgive me if I don't find your apprehension inspiring.

How old are you anyway?

[ ~~Dye his hair green and join a punk anti-establishment band?~~ Annie is here to help. ]

Not even love to loathe? Kidding. Mostly. I have one person like that. I would love to crush him under my heel for all of eternity but alas, we can't always get what we want. Impressive! Not that we need overhauling. More like careful retooling to keep our grasp on the market. Innovation is important.

[ Annie just raises an eyebrow. ]

Do you text every girl you meet without knowing the basics? I'm 19.

[~~Just- no. Can you imagine the negative publicity and how it would reflect on the company? Plus the last thing Mokuba needs is to get involved in that sort of crowd. He's grounded until he's 30~~. Stop helping!]

Considering I still have affiliations to his company, the less said the better.

[Kaiba Corp needed that collaboration with Industrial Illusions for many of their products and merchandising. Apparently that whole soul-stealing thing could be swept under the rug. It was just business... or something.]

Not adapting to the times would only spell disaster for any company.

[Look- normally he would have completed a background check on his own, he'd have her name, age, occupation, current address and previous criminal record assuming she had any to reference at hand.. but this hadn't been planned]

That implies that I make a habit out of texting anyone not on my payroll

[ ~~He could take up skydiving! HALO jumping! Oooh, what if he combined race cars and Duel Monsters?~~ But Annie loves riling up dragons? ]

Wise man. Or diplomatic. I'ld take either.

[ Annie can't help but agree. ]

This. Change is inevitable.

[ Annie can't help the wide grin that stretches over her face. Seto, she is flattered and amused. ]

Color me incredibly surprised then. A bit flattered too if I'm honest.

[ His reaction will let her know if he was doing his version of flirting. If she's wrong? Whoops but no harm done. ]
