A raven haired head appeared behind the glass entrance to the cafe, searching for that of his assistant. Besides having to deal with some shoplifting at the Black Crown, Duke had given a pair of important papers to David and now needed them back. For whatever reason his cellphone had been shut off when Duke called, and so he'd decided to search some common gathering places. The cafe had been a good place to start, as it was about lunchtime.
Sure enough, David was in here-- but so were Yugi and his friends, and a few people who did not qualify as Yugi and his friends. And David had taken a table right next to them. Duke did not want to intrude and had business to be doing anyway, so he paused at the door as he considered whether to enter or not.

Setting down the menu, David blinked as he caught a vague reflection in one of the large plate-glass windows behind Yugi's table. Turning around, he saw Duke on the other side of the doorway. He stood in surprise, going over to his boss.
"Hello," he greeted, cracking the door open. "What's up?"

"You're pretty observant." Duke noted, a little surprised at how quickly his presence was noticed. "There were a couple of papers in that file I gave you that shouldn't have been there. And unless someone has been doing some incredibly lax counting, there's been an awful lot of shoplifting." He snorted. "We need to put the dice in different containers or something...
"By the way, what's up over there?" Duke craned his neck to see over his assistant's shoulder. "They look like they got their orders mixed up or something."

David smirked. "Observance is a necessary trait for any good businessman," he said.
But he frowned as Duke went on. "Oh really? Which ones?" He started walking back to his table, where he had left his briefcase. He set it on the chair and opened it, then took out the file.
"Maybe we'll have to start putting more merchandise behind the glass counters," he suggested. "And installing more security cameras. I've been telling you it's time for an upgrade."
He shrugged at the scene. "I don't know what's going on," he said. "That Egyptian was teasing one of them, I think."

"I'm afraid so Joey. Escargot is snails in some kind of sauce." Yugi said with a slightly disgusted look. It really wasn't so much that they were snails but the fact that it seemed like a rather slimy food to be eating. He'd much rather stick with a hamburger if it was at all possible. He might even try them if it was under the right circumstances.
"That's okay Téa" He said as he returned her wan smile. "It's fine otherwise." He said gesturing at the slightly more soaked part of the burger. After a moment he decided to wait until Bakuras order got here to finish his own.
His ears perked up at the sound of Dukes voice. That would fit into this odd day. He tried to turn his head around slightly and glance around to see if it actually was Duke Devlin.

"Yeah, yeah. I think I've learned my lesson."
Duke took the file from David and rifled through it, pulling out a paper. "This one is actually for another branch, and this one," he said irritably, holding up the offending paper, "is not even work related. I must be really tired if I'm putting my schoolwork in my files...
"That wouldn't surprise me at all." he said, glancing over at the table and making eye contact with Yugi. Well, now he had to say something, or risk being rude.
"Hey, Yugi. What's up?"

Joey made a disgusted face and glared at Yami Bakura before sitting down, grumpily. But as Yugi looked around, so did he.
"Huh? Hey, isn't that Dice-Boy?"
Téa, who still thought that she should buy Yugi something that wasn't soggy, also turned. "Yeah... and his assistant, too."

OOC: LOL, Duke....
IC: David laughed. "That's a new one," he said. "It's a good thing you came to get it. I wouldn't have known what to make of high-school mathematics in the business files." He set the file down, crossing his arms as he gave Duke a mock-stern look. "Were you up late again to get your homework done?"
Hearing Duke, Bakura blinked and looked over too. "Oh hello," he smiled. They had not met often; only a couple of times outside of school, both occasions when they had been on weird adventures with Yugi.
Yami Bakura glanced over too, but said nothing.

Joey blinked.
"Wow... it is Dice-Boy..." he said. He shrugged to himself, wondering what had brought them here.
Téa waved hello to the two of them.

Kaiba returned from the bathroom, a small wet patch on his shirt where he had had to clean off a small coffee splotch. What was the entire nerd herd doing here he wondered.

Yugi smiled and waved. All that he could really think as Duke said hello was thank goodness for something that broke the awkwardness! There was enough of it that you could practically taste it every time you took a breath. "Nothing much, the usual. Saving the world, the universe and everything in it." He said, really only half kidding at this point.
He turned the chair just the slightest and leaned back listening to the exchange between Duke and David. It was fairly interesting, though he couldn't remember for the life of him how many times he had seen Duke's assistant. Or if he had ever introduced himself.
It seemed that Kaiba came back to the table, though it took Yugi a moment or two to realize that he was there. Briefly he wondered just where Kaiba had vanished to.

Duke set his lip at David, but the corner was turned up in a smile. "Maybe."
Of course he'd end up talking to Yugi and his friends. "I guess you're getting pretty good at that, huh?"
And Seto Kaiba, of all people, proceeded to march out of the bathroom with a wet spot on his shirt. Between misplacement of homework, ancient Egyptian spirits bugging the appetite out of modern classmates and everyone suddenly being in the same place at the same time again, this was turning out to be a very strange day.

Kaiba sat back down at his table, eying the gang from the corner of his vision. What manner of freakish coincidence was it that brought them all together. He downed the rest of his ice cold coffee in one gulp, picked up his case and started to sneak past them.

"Hey, Rich Boy, where're you going?" asked Joey. "Too high and mighty to hang out with us?"
Téa facepalmed. The last thing they needed was another scene after just getting past the last one.
Looking to Duke and David to change the subject, she considered inviting them to join them.

Kaiba growled and shot a glance at Joey that would have made paint peel. "I have better things to do then hang around with you."
