#pendulumrisen

For once Yusei had actually decided to work on his stuff outside of the little garage he owned. After all there weren’t that many people around in that area of the common grounds and the fresh air was helping him to stay concentrated at bit better. 

Tilting his head to the side he turned around the part in his hands a few times, wondering where exactly it was broken, but he looked up once he could hear steps coming closer. It probably weren’t security members. They usually don’t patrol around this part anyways for what ever reason. On good days Yusei liked to think it was because of Jack still protected him from the upper city now. But most of the time he tried not to think about the blond one to much at all. 

In the end it turned out to be a teen, probably a bit younger then himself. Yusei frowned slightly. He never had seen him around before. 

“Did you get lost?” 

Why else should someone come to this part of the city anyways?

A... Keeper? The only thing Yuri’s comment and question would gain him was a blank stare; why would she be... Yuya’s keeper...? Such a silly thing to say, but she’d bite the tip of her tongue on that for the moment. Finding Yuya came first, after all. 

@pendulumrisen

You Show. She’d almost thought she’d never get a chance to see it again, fingertips skimming across the familiar walls with each lazy step she took. It figured the first place she’d want to go since her ‘release’ would be the school she’d found so much peace in... A place that did wonders to ease still frazzled nerves, as much as Aster himself had been.

the biggest mistake of @soulburnings​’s life, better known as ALTERNATE UNIVERSITY.

so why don’t we break this down and give you a crash course?

ZAYNE’S GUIDE TO ALTERNATE UNIVERSITY

a brief history:

Alternate University is a college au consisting primarily of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V and VRAINS cast

this all started when I went to Kasa and said “5 words: Manjoume and Yuuri being roommates”

this au originally started on @sctsunai​ ( Yuuri ) and @blackthvnder​ ( Manjoume )

it has since grown to include @pendulumrisen​, @incantix​, @soulburnings​ and @linkstorm​ ( with characters such as Yuuya, Yuugo, Yuuto, Dennis, Shun, Kaito, the Bracelet Girls, and most recently, Yusaku and Takeru )

there’s one more person coming…soon

it is tagged as “I don’t know if I’ll make it but watch how good I’ll fake it” on all of my blogs ( sctsunai, incantix, linkstorm ) and “Alternate University” on Kasa’s blogs ( blackthvnder, pendulumrisen, soulburnings )

Yuuri is the biggest piece of shit in this au

roommates:

Year 1

Yuuri and Manjoume

it’s a running joke that Yuuri’s always stealing Manjoume’s food

because he is

Yuuri is always antagonizing Manjoume somehow

Kaito and Yuugo

Kaito puts up with exactly none of Yuugo’s shit

Yuugo gets kicked out of their room…a lot

Yuuya and Edo

neither deserve this

Yuuya is a peace keeper

Dennis and Shun

fight as much as Kaito and Yuugo

Shun tries to kill Dennis at least once every other day

Takeru and Yusaku

sweet fire puppy and his reclusive hermit friend

Takeru apologizes for absolutely anything Yusaku does ever

the whole dorm thinks they’re gay

Yuuto

has his own room

needs a fucking raise

nobody’s seen him in three weeks is he even still alive

Rin and Ruri

Rin is Yuugo control

Ruri is Shun/Kaito/Yuuto control

Ruri cooks food for Takeru and Yusaku

Yuzu and Serena

Yuzu just wants some time alone with Yuuya

but no

no, Yuuri had to decide he’s Yuuya’s priority

Year 2

Yuuri and Manjoume

Manjoume moved out for Year 2

Yuuri didn’t like that and got him evicted from his apartment

Manjoume can never escape

Kaito and Shun

they argue a lot

when Shun’s mad, he puts stuff on the top shelf where Kaito can’t reach it

everyone thinks they’re dating

Rin and Yuugo

Yuugo was assigned to Kaito again originally

Rin shuffled roommates around so Yuugo’d stay alive

Yuuya and Edo

still do not deserve this

Yuuya is eternally suffering

Dennis

idk if he’s even alive by this point

Takeru and Yusaku

still rooming together

still probably gay

Yusaku never leaves the room so no one realizes he lives there except Yuuya

Yuuto

still blissfully living alone

still done with life

Ruri

got her own room like a Queen

feels the need to…mother her friends

Yusaku hasn’t forgiven her for The Talk

Yuzu and Serena

still amazing

Ryoken

new addition to the dorm.

transferred from another university when he discovered Yusaku attended this one

probably a stalker

Notable Incidents within the verse:

The Cake Incident

Yuuri bakes Manjoume a cake for his birthday. A carrot cake disguised as a red velvet cake. 

Manjoume hates carrots and never trusts Yuuri again.

The Carrot Incident

Yuuri decides to replace all of the food he’s eaten with carrots.

Manjoume finds his cereal box full of diced carrots and marches down to Yuuri’s class just to chuck the box at his face.

“This was full yesterday!”

The Knife Incident

Manjoume complains a lot. Yuuri has a lot of spare keys.

Yuuri ‘leaves’ his main key behind and Manjoume locks him out of their room.

Yuuri gets in with a spare key, gets some fake blood and makes himself out to be a bloody murderer before going to Manjoume’s room and waking him up with the image of some stranger holding a giant kitchen knife, covered in blood.

Manjoume screams like a girl.

Yuuri whispers “don’t ever lock me out again” and goes to take a shower.

The Pizza Incident Part 1

Manjoume orders a pizza, assuming it’ll arrive by the time he gets home.

He arrives home to only one slice of his pizza left.

Manjoume bitches at Yuuri for eating his pizza.

Yuuri plots revenge.

The Pizza Incident Part 2

Manjoume tries to order a pizza again for when he gets home.

He arrives home to no pizza.

There is only a single piece of pepperoni left in the box.

The Pizza Incident Part 3

The dorm has a homemade pizza night.

Yuuri puts carrot shavings in the shredded cheese.

Manjoume does not realize it until it’s too late.

The Hole

Soulburner has a scarf hole. Playmaker is curious.

Soulburner freaks out when Playmaker jams a finger in the hole for curiosity’s sake.

That means revenge…which leads Soulburner to shove three fingers in the little hole on the back of Playmaker’s belt.

The Talk

Not long after The Hole.

Ruri overhears a snippet of Yusaku and Takeru’s conversation about The Hole.

“You started it!”

“I put one finger in, you rammed THREE INSIDE ME!”

Ruri assumes they’re together and need a talk on safe intimacy.

Ruri accidentally starts a rumor about Yusaku and Takeru banging each other.

She buys them “The Guide to Safe BDSM” and several supplies.

Takeru and Yusaku never look at each other again.
