 Huh... whats going on... and why is the ground getting bigger- OH FU- KA-CRASH Ugh... my head... where am I...Ooooooooooooooh!!!(Aaand who are these douchebags.) {Dialoglog}???: ...summon from the mystic circle of red and white roses, the one capable of harnessing pure power...
???: There was truth to the legend of the Rose Duelist!!!
Charles: (Rose Duelist... what.)
???: Lady Margaret! I... I did it! Now we have the means for defeating the evil forces of Rosenkreuz!
Charles: The heck is going on?
???: ...
???: Oh... My apologies. In my excitement, I’d forgotten I was in the presence of the Rose Duelist.
???: Allow me to introduce myself. I am Simon McMooran, High Druid and servant of Lancaster.
Charles: (So crazy cultist.)
Simon: May I be so bold as to ask the name by which the Rose Duelist would like to be known?
Charles: ...Its Charles.
Simon: ...
Simon: Charles? A fine name indeed!
Simon: Now. here's the situation. The year is 1485 and you are currently in Stonehenge. near Salisbury, England.
Charles: (So time travel. FUCK.)
Simon: The British Empire is in turmoil with the House of Lancaster’s rightful claim to the throne being challenged by the Yorkist usurpers.
Simon: The power struggle is referred to as the Wars of the Roses, a name based on the badges used by both sides - a red rose for the Lancastrians and a white rose for the Yorkists.
Simon: Right now, our kingdom is threatened by the Yorkists and their wrongful claim to the throne!
Charles: (...Riiight, like the throne is a good idea to begin with.)
Simon: All because the Yorkists enjoy the support of the Rose Crusaders and their sorcerous White Rose cards.
Simon: Using our Red Rose cards, we summoned you Charles, to this day and age.
Charles: (So magic. Greaaat.)
Simon: We hoped that your dueling experience would defeat the Rose Crusaders and lead us to victory!
Simon: You will help us...?
Charles: Well to be f-
Simon: Of course, you will!!! Foolish of me to even doubt where your loyalties lie...
Charles: (Yeah... foolish.)
Simon: Rumor has it that only the legendary Rose Duelist stands a chance against the power of Rosenkreuz.
Charles: (Must be immortal or something.)
Simon: We appreciate any help you can provide against them.
Simon: Before I forget... I should warn you that the rules to dueling differ here from those of your age.
Charles: (How can sword fighting be that complicated, you just stab the other guy.)
Simon: Here in England, dueling is governed by what is known as the "Perfect Rule".
Simon: In addition to several minor distinctions, there are two major differences.
Simon: One is the existence of movement or positioning.
Charles: (Wait, do they think we just stand around and let ourselves get stabbed?)
Simon: The other is the Deck Leader concept.
Charles: (...Fuck everything.)
Simon: These are two aspects of dueling that were lost in the process when the ancient sport of Duel Monsters was adapted to card form.
Charles: (God fucking dammit.)
Simon: The 'Perfect Rule” represents these lost rules that were miraculously revived here in England.
Charles: (I'm going to be fighting a GODDAMN WAR with CHILDRENS CARD GAMES.)
Simon: Perhaps a practice duel will serve better than an explanation... Shall we?
Charles: You know what, sure. (I am a little rusty...)

 First, Charles, you must select a deck to duel with.
The cards themselves draw their power from the energies of the Ancient Ones.
The Deck Leader acts as an intermediate between the ancient ones and the deck-wielder.
Charles... It is essential that you select a Deck Leader whose rhythm matches the stirrings of your soul.
Here are several decks from which to choose. Give it some serious thought, and make your selection. (Well, a deck isn't just one card, so I need to have a basic idea of what the decks have in store for me. Hmm, looking through the cards, the King Tiger Wanghu deck seems to contain a great deal of beast monsters, but those aren't the only kind, with the trump card seeming to be Firewing Pegasus... the deck seems spread overly thin with not a lot of specification, but Beast Fangs and Mystical Moon should provide a decent power bonus to the beast monsters in the deck.)
(Now, with the Patrician of Darkness deck, it seems to have a great deal of trickery going on, with flip monsters being all over the place. I question why Sword of Dark Destruction is in here, considering only one of the monsters can take advantage of it, and said monster is an utter weakling... might have to see about replacing them quickly, If the other duelists are any good. And considering that the guy that summoned me here likely had these decks made... I think I understand how they are loosing this war. Zombies seem to be pretty decent in this deck, though.)
(and last, we have Serpentine Princess... this deck seems to be far weaker than the other two, yet Sebek's Blessing could easily help turn the tables in the duel, considering the massive amount of reptiles in this deck... the equip cards seem to be rather decent too, actually fitting the monsters in the deck. The average strength seems to be pretty decent, all and all, and if spellbinding means that the enemies can't attack, then its incredibly useful.)
(Dang it, if only I knew what to decide... well, maybe I should think on it some more...)> Suggestion Box enabled. |

 {Dialoglog}Simon: Ah! I see you have selected your deck.
Charles: (Yeah... tigers are cool, I guess.)
???: Hmmm. So that’s the effect of the Celtic Red Rose cards..
???: It looks like there's some truth to the rumor that Red Rose cards are capable of time transformation..
Charles: (wait a minute... I swear I know that voice)
Simon: Who's there!?
Seto: It's been some time since the Battle of Barnet. old one...
Charles: (...Its Seto Kaiba. What. But. Past. What.)
Simon: Rosenkreuz! What brings you here!?
Seto: Only a member of the Rose Crusaders may call me by that name...
Seto: If you may recall, I told you once before that you may only address me as Seto.
Charles: (yep, totally kaiba.)
Seto: Or does memory fail you. old man?
Seto: And you... You must be the dreaded Rose Duelist. I must admit, there's a certain aura of power emanating from you.
Seto: I believe an introduction is in order. I am Seto. leader of the Rose Crusaders.
Seto: There are members of our little group who prefer to call me by the name of C. Rosenkreuz.
Simon: I ask you again... What brings you here, Seto!?
Seto: Mind your manners. old man!
Seto: What else would bring me here... I’ve come for the Red Rose cards!
Seto: After all. it was you who showed me how the summoning capabilities would evolve when the Red Rose cards are combined with the transport powers of the White Rose cards...
Simon: You aren’t thinking of attempting the forbidden "Rose Summoning"...
Simon: If so. then the Red Rose cards must never fall into your evil hands!!!
Simon: Card sorcery taps into the powers of the Ancient Ones... By their very nature, each card is a double-edged sword that can cut both ways...
Charles: (ugh, this is so stupid.)
Simon: The Red Rose Cards alone harness tremendous power. There's no telling what horrors one might unleash to the world by combining both Red and White!!!
Simon: I will sacrifice my own life if need be to prevent any from uttering the "Spell of Doom"!!!
Seto: The Spell of Doom ..? Fool!!!
Seto: The 16 Red and White Rose cards grant "power over all"! Druid legend has twisted the true meaning of these cards!
Seto: We Rose Crusaders have sworn to create a utopia free from the ravages of war. We intend to accomplish this with the power of the cards!!!
Seto: And we shall do so by extending the rule of Richard 3 throughout the known world!!!
Charles: (...aaand back to kings. How can a utopia exist with a king again?)
Simon: ...
Seto: By the way, it was clever of you to form a circle of white roses within the white rose barrier to summon the Rose Duelist...
Seto: But you were foolish to come alone. This area is surronded and if you wish to leave with your life, you will do so only by handing over the Red Rose cards...
Charles: (...might have to fight my way out... dammit, don't have my swords. I'm shocked I wasn't teleported in naked at this rate...)
Simon: Me? A fool...? Then what about you?
Simon: Are you fool enough to auctually believe the Red Rose cards would remain here in my possession?
Simon: Right after the summoning, I had the cards dispersed among our best duelists to keep them from your tainted hands!
Charles: (DO YOU WANT TO DIE?!)
Seto: Then you leave me with but one option... I shall enlist the aid of your precious Rose Duelist!
Charles: (...huh. Might get to surivive this after all.)
Simon: You take leave of your senses...
Seto: And you speak too soon, old man!
Seto: Heed my words, Duelist! If you wish to return to your proper time period, you will require 16 cards of the Red and White Roses...
Seto: The red and white positions must be laid out in reverse of the summoning order to send you home...
Simon: You know the spell...?
Charles: (...I'm listening.)
Seto: Since you need the 16 rose cards just as much as we do... I propose a partnership.
Seto: Help us gather the cards and I shall guarantee your return after we've achieved our ultimate goal!!!
Charles: (Well, I don't think this will create a giant paradox... I wasn't born in a world with magical monster summoning cards, after all.)
Simon: An absurd proposal!!! Do you think that the honorable Charles would even lend an ear to your ridiculous proposal!?
Charles: (...He has a point, then again, that son of a bitch did tear me away from my time.)
Seto: Can you be so sure, old man?
Seto: Let me see... Simon's side has 8 of the Red Rose cards, while my side - the Rose Crusaders - has possession of the 8 White Rose cards.
Seto: As the numbers are even, simple arithmetic indicates that you could side with either of us.
Seto: But I'm sure you'll take into account who's winning this war. After all, who was desperate enough to summon you in the first place?
Seto: I think it's quite clear which side is better-positioned to send you home...
Charles: (...Okay... probably least likely to damage the timeline at any rate if I join him.)
Simon: C-Charles!!! Heed not the words of this... this power-hungry lunatic!!!
Seto: Simon! Must you resort to name-calling? I'm hurt...
Seto: I'll tell you what. Why don't we leave the decision to our dear Duelist?
Seto: After all, Simon, the Duelist's future is not for us to decide now, is it?
Simon: Well, yes. But...
Charles: (YOU STOLE ME FROM MY TIME. THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT HAS ALREADY FUCKED SHIT UP.)
Seto: Splendid! In keeping with the tradition of the Old Temple gardens, I offer you a choice, Duelist.
Seto: Here are two roses. The white represents me, and the red for old Simon here...
Simon: For the sake of justice... Choose the red rose!
Seto: Stand by my side, Duelist... Choose the white rose.
Charles: (Lets see... Simon tore me away from my time... this is another world... plus I don't know shit about history, but it seems like the white rose is winning already, so if I join them, its unlikely to affect things... all too much... plus fucking blue eyes white dragons man, how can I /not/ join the side that has cards like that. Wait, weren't there only four in the show? Eh, Pegasus made the cardgame in the show, and the cards are here ahead of schedule, so I might be able to get some of my own... plus this deck really sucks and I could use the resources to make a better one... and learn whats different, considering how I never got a chance to learn...)
Charles: ...I choose the white rose.
Seto: A wise choice, Duelist! I see you are well-versed in judging a situation.
Seto: Welcome to the Rose Crusaders! I... am honored.
Seto: Okay, old man. It's time you made yourself scarce.
Simon: Wha...? What are you doing! Stop! Nooooooooo!!!
Seto: Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you. I just need you out of the way until everything is settled.
Seto: Now, let's talk about the Red Rose Cards.
Seto: Simon mentioned that he spread the cards among certain individuals just after summoning you.
Seto: I think it's safe to assume that a large number of those individuals are his confederates currently located in France.
Seto: I would like to ask you to enter France from Dover and retrieve those cards for our cause.
Seto: I would go myself. However, I'm needed here to maintain our barrier against any invading forces.
Seto: However, I will leave you with a few of my forces to aid in your quest.
Charles: (...and make sure I don't turn traitor.)
Seto: I've heard somewhere that Celts inherited their Red Rose Cards from the original inhabitants of Stonehenge.
Seto: This would mean that our enemy, Yugi, who comes from a line of Welsh nobility would likely have inherited one of the Red Rose Cards.
Charles: (wait, yugi?)
Seto: This means that those who oppose the Rose Crusaders are sufficiently equipped to duel against us as equals.
Seto: Given their desperate situation, they will retaliate with everything they've got. It would be wise not to underestimate them!
Seto: I'm depending on you...
Charles: (I fucked up, didn't I.) |

Meanwhile...
...why did he have to choose the white rose.
He doesn't know the rule changes, and his deck is currently incredibly bad.
In the game, he could just keep trying, but if he was able to do that, he would figure it out, even with the blocked off memories.
That would end up being bad, and he has to win this first duel, somehow.
Looks like I need to give him a nudge or two. Its a good thing that traveling takes so long, so I can figure out how to handle this. Throw him a few cards? Teach him the rules of the game in a dream?
...maybe even both.
> Suggestions "Unlocked" ((also if someone could tell me how to record decent videos with pcsx2 that would be great))

Haven't you heard? Exodia is terrible. The hand limit is far lower than usual, and you have to summon each piece to use it, since it doesn't work from the hand.Be the stealth mentor doitdoitdoitdoit
