Ryou is post DSOD so do what you will with that-

[rolltoavoidpossession]

[Don't worry about him being missing Tristan, the running logic is that time just freezes for everyone's worlds and that everyone is from different timelines.]

I've been fine! I've been trying at the gym challenge!

Actually, hang on. I'm switching to video mode.

[Once he gets the video going, it'll show a (slightly older, clearly from further down the timeline) Ryou with a Meowstic hanging off one shoulder.]

Are you getting this, Tristan?

Perfect! I need more reasons to break my muse's brain

[duelingexpert]

[That still would sound like a big headache for this guy]

The gym challenge? I somehow never really pictured that as something you'd be into.

[Someone hasn't been doing his homework, so he's definitely thinking of the wrong sort of gym and how Bakura would be so ill-suited for the physical endurance that would come along with it. At least with this being text, he doesn't have to explain the look that shot across his features.]

Is there some kind of button for that I need to press on my end too?

[Once the picture appears, Tristan is a bit taken aback.]

Yeah I'm getting it, but I'm not sure what I'm getting. You look so.... so....different. [He tilted his head to one side and scrutinized the feed further] Maybe you have been hitting the gym... [Though you'd still think the guy would have more definition in his muscles.]

[rolltoavoidpossession]

Oh - no, not that kind of gym! [He rubs the back of his head, a bit awkward about the misunderstanding.]

You know how Pokémon like to fight each other? There's a challenge where you can go to the gyms and challenge the leaders there - your team vs theirs. You get prize money and badges for winning.

[Ryou's been doing it, at least in part, to prove to himself he can protect himself should he have to.]

And yes, there should be a video option on your Gear too.

.sorry been sick since the 9th x.x |Video

[duelingexpert]

[Through some fiddling, the video shows up from his end too]

New haircut? [Yeah, that would explain why he looks so different, yet the same]

Yeah, that's all anyone here talks about. [Meaning the npcs but also a lot of the trainers he's spoken to] Oooooo, I see. So it really is a lot like Duel Monsters, huh? Only instead of regionals or tournaments they have these gyms.

[Tristan wouldn't say no to the spending cash but he's not sure what he's going to do with all of this new knowledge yet.]

Seems kind of strange that they just hand this out to anyone that shows up. You'd think there would be a screening process or a qualifier or something.
