DRAGON ONE: NEW YORK by moonogre; for @kaibacorpintern

KaibaCorp’s creditors were circling in a slow, carnivorous orbit, and every bank note with Gozaburo’s signature was coming due. He had no interest in propping up the military-industrial circus his predecessor had built—no appetite for tank contracts, missile deals, surveillance satellites—none of it. But his pivot to entertainment, the grand design that had been fermenting in his mind for years, needed capital. Fast. And not the kind beholden to questions of where it came from. It proved convenient, then, that he already kept a presence in certain corners of the dark web. Quiet, clinical listings—never under his real name—auctioning all manner of unsavoury things: counter-intelligence packages he’d pilfered from statesmen with poor infosec, hacked patents for greedily pay-gated pharmaceuticals. He also kept a request thread dedicated solely to sightings of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card. So when the message arrived, buried under encrypted headers and anonymous relays, it was less the content than the presumption of his identity that startled him. The sender claimed to have a foolproof way to move an arsenal of KaibaCorp-manufactured rifles out of Japan—through Los Angeles, onward to New York—skimming some for local sale before the rest hit its final buyers. The profit margins were obscene, the timeline clean. Her name, at least the one she signed with, was Teresa. She admitted in her second message that she was working with air-thin liquidity. Her network was in shambles. Dario, the head of her family, had been taken down for tax evasion alongside underboss Lucca. (The deputy was nicknamed “Lucky” in the papers, despite being  unlucky enough to have the FBI breathing down his neck). Their arrests had ripped the skin off the Genovese operation and left a hemorrhaging empire of frozen bank accounts, shuttered fronts and every foot soldier under surveillance. Seto had expected someone grizzled, steeped in the trade. But here in the Lincoln back seat sat a young woman who looked like she’d be more at home in a nail salon chair than at the head of one of the most influential crime families in the country. And yet, they were paired: a corporate usurper fresh off the blood of a coup, and an interim mob boss looking for a way to keep the lights on. Two people inheriting worlds they had no intention of running the way they’d been built.

SUMMARY

"Only four copies of the Blue Eyes White Dragon are known to exist. Of course, they were in the hands of fanatic collectors around the world. I searched them out. One in America, one in Hong Kong, one in Germany. None of them agreed when I told them to hand it over… so I used a bit of force. I used my wealth to force them to bankruptcy, made deals with the mafia... one of them even committed suicide!" - Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel 027 _

Shortly after Gozaburo’s death, Seto Kaiba travels to New York to sell off KaibaCorp’s arms cache to a reluctant mafiosa holding one of the four Blue-Eyes White Dragons.

SO weird to me that the default assumption in modern fandom is that you must be attracted to your favorite characters. nah man those are just my funky little guys and gals i want to study them under a microscope. i want to put them in a mason jar and shake it and see what happens

i love seeing my non-ygo followers in my notes going "what the actual Fuck happens in yugioh" because there is no adequate way to answer that question. everything happens. everything you can possibly think of that could ever happen, happens in yugioh.

wait a minute ok. i was about to start listing a bunch of absurd shit that goes down in this series but instead i'm just going to make my point by making it everybody else's problem instead

the conceptual appeal of the tower to me is that it's a way of burying yourself alive by going upwards
