It's weird enough to walk outside and find a carnival where you weren't expecting one. It's probably some degree weirder still to walk outside and find a dark, abandoned carnival where you weren't expecting one.
Reiji is just savvy enough to know that he should just turn away and keep walking, and just heedless enough to ignore that wisdom and indulge his curiosity (such as it is) anyway. In fairness, he is rather tired. No amount of sleep in the world could compensate for what happened to the Synchro Dimension.
Then again, that's what he needs to solve. So he pays his admission in the form of one copy of D/D Lamia and makes his way into the hollow-feeling darkness.
After a few yards, it occurs to him to use his duel disk to light his way.
This helps.
And so, guided by the glow of his D-Pad, he wanders through the empty rides and unmanned attractions, raising his arm to illuminate them for inspection. That same light reflects somewhat ominously off his glasses....
Good thing no one's going to be scared by a gangly 16-year old in rolled pants.
Right?
IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT, COCO WILL FIND YOU
When this thing came out of the darkness at him, Reiji was.... caught off guard, yes, but he wasn't afraid.
He was, after all, armed. If one was in the mood for puns, you could even say 'literally,' as that's where his duel disk was carried.
A more than competent duellist, armed with the hard light projections of a state-of-the-art LDS duel disk... he should have been unbeatable.
But the... the tree simply smashed through every monster, every card, every strategy he had, and now...
Now Reiji Akaba, CEO of LDS and duel genius was...!
He was...!
... well, he's in the dirt is what he is. And above him, the monstrous, smiling tree readies for another hammerlike blow.
Someone save this asshole before he's pulped by a coconut palm.
