::Asuka sits down at a table outisde a cafe not far from the Hotel where Amaterasu and Shiroko are, and the business with PCB went down. Sitting across from here is her uncanny doppelganger, the Duel Spirit: "Bujinki Amaterasu", who is dressed oddly not in her Heian attire, but a more, one could say, reasonable Kimono.::

So why did you call me here?

[danse_etoile]

Well, I. Think I know why we have the same face.

::Coughs, a folder next to her.::

[arknpcs5]

You mean why you carry my visage.

[danse_etoile]

Something like that. But I believe I know why we have the same face.

[arknpcs5]

::Her face remains stoic.::

And why is it you share my visage.

[danse_etoile]

::Moves the folder in front of her, opening it and turning it around.::

Basically my friend made cards like you based on me. I say this because I've been getting likeness royalty checks.

[arknpcs5]

... And what are you saying. That I am a figment of your imagination?

[danse_etoile]

::Notices how annoyed her doppelganger is. She's got a bit of a deer in headlights look to her.::

Er. Uh. No. Well, sorta, but not quite?

::I feel like I've said the wrong thing.::

[arknpcs5]

You speak nonsense. There are two more logical answers, foolish girl, than me being a figment of your imagination.

::Clicks her tongue.::

[danse_etoile]

W-which are?

::Still panicking internally.::

[arknpcs5]

First, your human artists merely dreamed of me. Imagining the gods is hardly strange.

::Waves her hand dismissively.::

Second, you might be a great descendant of mine, or of someone who was touched by my glory. But clearly so down the bloodline that your blood is nothing more than a mere human's.

[danse_etoile]

::Relaxes slightly.::

[arknpcs5]

Do not be mistaken, I am quite vexed with you, girl, for insulting me. I demand compensation for the insult.

[danse_etoile]

... Er?

[arknpcs5]

::Snaps fingers.::

Handmaiden, come out.

[daredevildame]

Aw man, Mistress, do I have to?

::Appears out of nowhere in a Kimono.::

[danse_etoile]

...

[arknpcs5]

::Gets up, pulling a Deck out of her sleeve.::

Yes, and I want you to defeat her in a contest of cards, to sate my curiosity and ire.

[daredevildame]

::Takes it and sits down.::

Why?

[arknpcs5]

Because I wish to see your competence, Handmaid.

[daredevildame]

... At a card game.

[danse_etoile]

So I just have to Duel her? At this table. No Duel Disk?

[arknpcs5]

No Duel Disk, I merely wish to see my wits tested against one who dares to imitate me, and how the foolish girl serving me handles my wits.

[danse_etoile]

Duel...?
