I just watched a show on H2 (previously History International) about Alexander the Great. It was an episode of Ancients Behaving Badly which is pretty hilarious. Despite the fact that he was a cruel, drunken tyrant with a severe case of narcissistic personality disorder, they rated him as barely more psychotic than Gengis Khan. Caligula was at the very top of the chart.

The animations were great. It looked like they were trying for a cross between anime and comic book illustrations.

I have no idea why I watched the show. I do terrible things when procrastinating. My English paper isn't due until Friday, so I have time to watch television.

It seems introductions are going around. I'm Shizuka Jounouchi! I'm from Japan, and I'm here attending Harmony University. I apologize in advance - my English is not perfect. I work part time at Stagecoach Coffee House. I love visitors!

Scholarships! And it's a nice, quiet town. No mean people with virtual reality machines crime.

Why are you here, Kaiba-san?

What kind of business?

You know, I work at a coffee house. I could get you a discount!

Establishing a branch headquarters, for a start. KC is also supplying High Peaks with VR attractions and other advanced gaming tech.

The question is whether I would want the discount. Is the coffee worthwhile, or are you trying to pawn your sludge off on me to earn brownie points with your employer?

That sounds like so much fun! What kind of attractions? Any Duel Monsters stuff?

Well, that's entirely up to you. I happen to like it.

Adventure simulations; African safari, climbing Everest, haunted village, and that sort of nonsense. Duel Monsters isn't especially popular here, so the only thing we've added is a small arena. Pushing for more than that would require adjusting licensing contracts with I2 and dealing with Pegasus.

I'll send Isono to fetch some and get back to you with my verdict.

Oooh a haunted village? Let me know when that opens, I'll totally go. Who's Pegasus?

Oh. Okay! You'll like it, I promise!

Pegasus J. Crawford. CEO of Industrial Illusions. You really don't recognize the name? Hah. Count yourself fortunate.

If I don't, I'll make sure you never live it down.

That is an interesting name. What is Industrial Illusions?

I really don't like the sound of that. :(

Did your brother teach you nothing? ...Keh. Never mind. Pegasus is the creator of Duel Monsters. His company, Industrial Illusions, owns the rights to it. End of history lesson.

Coffee is serious business to businessmen. If I happen to like yours, I might mention it to the suits in my employ and they'll descend on your workplace like a swarm of ravenous vultures. In either event, be prepared.

Oh. For some reason I always thought you owned the rights. Is he nice?

That would definitely please the owner. Hehe, I managed to do some advertising!

When he's up to something, yes.

If it works out that way, demand a raise.

Maybe you should invite him here and put something in the park having to do with Duel Monsters! It'd be a good way to get people interested.

I think I deserve one anyway, but I can't just demand one.

We put in a dueling arena. If it manages to attract enough interest, we'll go from there.

Yes, you can, if you bring in that much business. If your employer turns you down, I'll ban my staff from buying coffee there. KC is not in the habit of supporting businesses that don't value their employees.

Oh how cool! Let me know when the haunted house is ready, I definitely want to see that one.

I didn't expect you to be so nice. Okay! I'm sure you will love the coffee regardless, and that's what's important.

Tomorrow. I always send Isono out for coffee in the morning.
