Louis walked into the museum, making sure to take a paphlet. He had heard about the incident and went to observe it. He walked through the crowed as best as he could until he reached the police tape, in the corner. Looking at the broken tablet he noticed a small piece that had skittered close, Louis looked around making sure that nobody was watching.
He bent down and stretched his hand, just able to brush the piece. He palmed the piece and slowly stood up, acting as if he had just bent to tie his shoes. This tablet hd been connected to magical forces, Louis was sure of it. He would bet his rosary on it.
If he could figure out the purpose of the tablets destruction maybe he could figure out more. He pocket the fragment, feeling no guilt for liberating evidence, and looked at the pamphlet and something caught his eye. He looked closely at the picture of the tablet and noticed a set of symbols that looked familiar. He reached into his back pocket and looked at a sheet with translated words and he noted the phrase. 'Divine God'

When a woman bumped into the large dog, it didn't react. The dog still seemed nervous about the entire place, and looked like it wanted to get away. Its loyalty to its master though kept it from leaving. Uther wasn't as forgiving and said to the young Egyptian, "watch where you're going. My seeing eye dog is vicious." The dog still didn't make a move. "................" Still nothing.
Uther got bored and turned his head towards where the tablet had been. "Let's get closer." He started to move toward the area where the tablet had been, but the dog refused to move. Sam looked back and asked, "did you get into my chocolate stash? Is that why you aren't behaving?" As expected the dog didn't react. It still seemed nervous.

Rebecca stepped into the museum, and sighed with slight relief. It really was quiet here.....and there seemed to be some rather old stuff here. She crinkled her nose a bit. Perhaps it would still be interesting stuff. She stepped forward into the museum and looked around at all the artifacts along the walls around her. Such intriguing things. She wondered what they were all about.
She stepped to a sculpture of what looked to be half a duel monsters card. Duel monsters? She looked next to it and saw a small case filled with little items with symbols on them. The sign in front of it told of mystical items that aided in Shadow Games during ancient times. "Oh great." She muttered softly to herself. "And they're just sitting here in the open?" She rolled her eyes and looked at the items.
She didn't have much time to look as she heard a small commotion in another room. Something about tablets missing? She walked over to the room and saw a small crowd of people (some students, some not) standing around a broken glass exhibit. The glass casing had been broken, and whatever was inside before certainly wasn't there now. She stepped forward, pushing her way through to take a closer look.
"Excuse me. Excuse me please." She muttered as she pushed through. She really didn't even register that she was being nice at the moment. This incident intrigued her. "What happened?" she asked someone beside her. "What was in there?"

Louis looked to the woman who had asked a question. He hoped she hadn't seen him pocket the fragment. "Well, it appears that someone destroyed the famous tablet." He took out the pamphlet that had the picture of the tablet. "This tablet described some huge battle between the different attributes." He looked more closely at her before introducing himself and holding out his hand "Louis Kachala".

She looked at his hand, then crossed her arms, keeping her duel disk arm on top, as if using the disk as a barrier between them. He was nice.....but that was how they all were. Then they would take you by surprise when your guard is lowered. She knew how men worked.
"Who would do such a thing? and how?" she asked, nodding to the broken exhibit. She totally ignored his obvious invitation for her to give him her name. She wasn't one to give her name out to just anyone. "A battle between the attributes? You mean like Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Dark, and Light all fighting against each other?" She knew attributes from the game of Duel Monsters, and she figured that since this WAS a duel museum, that it probably meant the same.

Louis pulled his hand back, noticing her coldness. " I don't know why would someone do it. If it was vandalism then they probably used a sledge hammer." Louis didn't mention what he really thought, shadow magic. Even he might think of himself as a kook. "And your missing one detail," he said with a smile "there is one other attribute, the one that represents the three god cards. The divine attribute."

Divine? she eyed him slightly. She knew of the divine attribute, but she didn't think of it as a true attribute. Suddenly images flashed through her mind, images of all the other attributes fighting against the Divine god Monsters. Of course, these were all just possibilities, as she'd never seen the tablet before. "I know of the Divine attribute, but i have only ever seen one duelist wield such an attribute." She was of course referring to Yugi Mutou, the King of Games, who wielded the three Egyptian gods in his deck. She'd watched his duels as a little girl, but she was always afraid of the monsters in the game, especially the god cards. But now, she wished she could face them, just to show them her treacherous power. She wasn't called the Traitorous Duelist for nothing. "So, did the tablet show the Divine gods?" she asked, genuinely curious about it.

Louis was getting into a subject matter that he was familier with and he smiled pleasantly, enjoying talking with someone just as interested. "If you're refering to the three Egyption god cards that passed from Marik and Kaiba's hands to Yugi's then no. Those cards disappeared with the millennium items years ago." He held up the pamphlet and a magnifying glass over the image of the tablet. "Over here, this word refers to 'the divine god' as in singular. These are creatures that are the physical representation of the element in its purest form." He was on a roll now "There are other names for these attributes but each of them may be more powerful then the god cards!"

Rebecca could tell he loved this subject, and she leaned in to view the image of the tablet. It looked to be a magnificent piece. "Monsters that are stronger than the Egyptian gods?" She sounded amazed, and she truly was. "Impossible," she breathed softly. "Do they exist as cards? or just ancient myth?"

"There is a thin line between myth and insanity, but they both have connection with reality," Louis said with a chuckle, then he became serious for a moment. "There are definatly no duel monster cards of them, at least that I know of. " Louis pondered a moment, he could not see these attributes fighting like duel monster cards, but as duelists themselves.

"So this was where the tablet was being held."
The words seemed repetitive to David when he had spoken them to himself, but he hardly seemed to mind that as he ducked beneath a string of police tape and entered the grand room where the Tablet Exhibit had once been. It was often a habit of his to softly speak his thoughts aloud in order to help him think, as if hearing his own voice uncovered hidden details and made complex problems seem simple. And judging from the shattered state of the glass case that the tablet had once been resting in, he would be having plenty to think about over the coming days and weeks.
As he strolled closer to the ruined exhibit, he looked ahead and realized that he was apparently not the only one who had decided to take an interest in the tablet's destruction today. He saw a boy and girl, both of them likely Duel Academy students based on the jackets they both wore. One was a girl with a long blonde ponytail wearing a Slifer Red jacket, and the other was a black-haired boy wearing a Ra Yellow jacket. The girl seemed ordinary enough at first glance, but the boy carried the air of being something of an aristocrat to David's senses. Why that was so seemed to be anyone's guess, though.
But there was one question that was nagging him in the back of this thoughts. Were these two simply students who were merely concerned about a priceless artifact like most other people? Or were they more like David and had taken a more "serious" interest in the mystery and consequences behind the tablet's destruction?
There was only one way to find out.
So with that in mind, David stuck his hands into the deep pockets of his long jacket and quietly strode closer to the ruined exhibit and to the two students who stood near it. "Actually, there are a number of monsters that could fit the ones described by the tablet." he gently called out to them so as not to startle anyone. "I've heard some theories say that one of them may actually be the monster Diabound that was used by the Thief King Bakura back in ancient times. It was said to have actually defeated an Egyptian God in single combat. And then there are others that state the three Sacred Beasts may be related to the tablet. Uria of Fire, Hamon of Light, and Raviel of Dark. Maybe there are other Sacred Beasts that are tied to the remaining Attributes." He paused as if to reconsider what he was saying, but then merely shrugged his shoulders and continued forward until he was standing off to the side of the boy and girl. The hint of a smile was present on one corner of his mouth when he looked at the ruined glass casing where the tablet had been. "But then, all of that is still only a theory. You know as much as I do."
He was clad in a somewhat ragged Obelisk Blue jacket with a white hood that was pulled over his silvery hair, loose-fitting and faded blue jeans, and a pair of simple black shoes. He also wore an old pewter amulet around his neck that held the vague shape of a cross to it. It looked like an old Christian symbol at first glance, but a closer look revealed that it was actually more in the shape of a hammer rather than a true cross. That and it also had a crude wolf's head capping the bottom of the hammer's handle, an obvious sign that the amulet was actually Norse in origin.
But then, his expression changed a little when he came to stand in full view of the spot where the tablet had been. He could feel his skin start to tingle even before he heard a soft and familiar voice whispered in his ear and his thoughts. A voice whispered by a tiny black griffin with raven features instead of an eagle's that perched upon his shoulder. A duel spirit.
"David. Do you feel it?" whispered the griffin.
The only response he gave to the griffin was a subtle nod that he hoped wasn't noticed by the other students. Whatever it was that had destroyed the tablet... or whatever it was that had been contained within the tablet... had definitely left its mark on this place. A mark that reeked of strong magic to David's senses.

Rebecca was about to respond to Louis, but stopped when the Obelisk Blue approached them. Apparently he had been eavesdropping. Just for that fact alone, she was already wary of him. That....and he was a guy. But that was a given.
She was trying to soak all this information in. The fact that someone would want to steal the tablet, not to mention that it was a tablet about duel monsters, made her wonder what was so special about it. She felt like investigating, but did not know where to start.
Then she heard something......a voice? but it was just the three of them there.......She looked at the Obelisk curiously. "Who's David?" She asked, cocking her head to the side, her arms still crossed.

[[>__>; Okay, I guess I'll post now. Hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by going out of the posting order.]]
David almost did a double-take when he heard the question asked by the girl with the ponytail. The last thing he had wanted was for anyone else to overhear him talking to his duel spirit, but the last thing he had ever expected was for anyone to overhear the duel spirit talking to him! What a strange development this was turning into! Not only that, but the tiny black griffin had been so surprised at the fact that the girl had somehow heard him speak that he had come to perch on top of David's hooded head so as to get a better look at her. Though she probably wasn't aware of it fully, the little griffin was now examining her with beady little raven's eyes that gleamed red in the dim light.
Meanwhile, David was trying to act natural and not sound suspicious. Ironically, that only seemed to make him even more suspicious to the people around him. It was funny how things like that often worked, wasn't it? "Uh!" blurted the silver-haired boy as he turned his attention from the shattered casing to the Slifer girl. "I-I'm David." he managed to stammer before an idea came to him. Maybe redirecting the question back at the girl would make her forget about the voice. His expression shifted into a cool neutral one and he regarded her with a curious tilt of his head. "How did you know my name? Have we met before?"
David was practically patting himself over the back now. Sometimes that boy could be so smooth, he could just butter his lips and slide the bread in. In his own mind, anyway..... To the rest of the world.... Maybe, maybe not.

Duncan, eying the glass case imprisoning the Jaw of Anubis by turning his head ever so slightly and mostly focusing his eyes on it had observed his prey. The Jaw of Anubis would be his. However, he dare not get close to it. Despite the fact that they'd be on the lookout for a scrawny six foot and five inch tal man, he was ready to devise his grand scheme. Earlier, he had cased the museum, acting as if he was admiring the exhibits, he had looked around the museum, casing it for cameras .
Now that he knew that there was a situation that involved the pigs, he would have to plan around it. The security guards were but rent-a-cops. However, attracting the attention of the police may be a little more dangerous. He can take on rent-a-cops and regular police with ease. However, pigs had swarm tactics and would quickly turn into an army of the buggers.

[Don't worry you weren't out of order]
Loius heard two exchange questions and pondered for a moment. He hadn't heard David mention but the girl must have heard it. His head went back nd forth as they talked and when there was a brief moment of silence he opened his mouth. "There seems to be only one explanation, either she is psychic or you're a schitzo...so which is it?" He said all this with his calm smile on his face.
