His mind was occupied, as the sun set, the messy pomp-wearing punk meandered home through quiet suburbia, every now and then, a little car whizzes by, blinding those beady eyes of his.
'Why do I give a damn so much about some school tourney?' He mused, the though bouncing around his roomy skull. He'd only been playing CYOGTCG for two days, and yet the game has completely consumed his every moment. Guess he was just like that deadbeat after all. . .
Out of the whimsy swirling around his heart, Rulao wandered off the beaten path, cutting through a small playground that he and his father used to visit together before the man disappeared. Different times, days when his mother would smile. . . Rulao could seem him now, the clean-shaven, sharp jaw of his old man's mug, waving to him with one hand stuffed in that dark leather jacket from behind the swings. The memory infuriated the angsty teen, and as it melted away there sat something else by that swingset. A nebulous shape wreathed in shadow, Rulao couldn't make anything out but the thing's piercing eyes as it barreled toward him. His heart raced, both he and the creature manifested their decks. "This's what I need." He rasped, "Yer the perfect trainin' fer my
SOUL!"
As Rulao roared, he drew his hand, grinning at all the possibilities of his new cards. He plays first, a Cosmic Isopod.
The creature gives him the star he missed out on from taking the initiative, no big deal, but he spends it immediately!
The Symbol of the Crimson Claw comes next, allowing him to draw another card, with that, he throws down another Cosmic Isopod! This time enhanced by the symbol burned in its back, giving the creature a total of 3 Attack and 4 Hearts!
With that, he gains another star and ends his turn. "Show me whatcha got, ya freak."
