CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: THE LANGUAGE BARRIER REINSTATED

[intercom_voice]

[Today, something somewhere went wrong. On the evening on the 15th, any bilingual (or otherwise) knowledge granted by the Campus has simply...disappeared. At least for anybody walking by the North Wing.]

Tja ... det här kommer att lägga sordin på våra studier, är nu inte det?

[Translation: Well...this is going to put a damper on our studies, now isn't it?]

((ooc: So! For the next 5 days (the 15th~20th), your character officially only knows their native tongue. Aka, whatever language they primarily grew up with. They can no longer read, speak, or understand any other language but.

For fun you can even use Google Translate to show what your character is speaking at a glance! Don't worry, we all know it's probably gibberish :P

If you go the Google route, please be sure to put a translation at the bottom. If not, then please take care to specify what language your character is speaking in at the start of every thread.

If you have any questions, just head to the mod plurk or send this account a PM, but most importantly--have fun!))

Kh... [Bastard... Bastard, bastard, bastard! Logically, he knows the man's right; he's out of practice and while he's not out of shape, he's definitely nowhere near as capable as the thief king, who's been trained.

Logic goes out of the window when he's challenged like this.]

Bastard, put your money where your mouth is if you're going to say shit like that!

[stealshinies]

That depends! [He reaches up, prying his Akh's hands off him and stepping back. With a casual, sweeping gesture he lifts up his arms.]

What do I get out of it?

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Bakura's hands clench into fists as they drop to his side. That son of a bitch... Lower than a shoe-! ...god, he's even thinking in ancient egyptian, isn't he? Stupid language and it's stupid insults...]

What? You want something?

[stealshinies]

Why should I waste my time if I'm not going to get something? After all...

[He casually leans back against the wall, folding his arms. Maybe if he riles his AKh up enough, he can make him agree to something stupid and get something good out of this!] You won't be any challenge.

1/3

[fluffydeathdealer]

-!

[fluffydeathdealer]

[fluffydeathdealer]

You fucking dickless bastard...

[Bakura's voice is a low hiss of rage and it's all he can do not to just punch the guy in his smug face.]

What. Do. You. Want?!

[stealshinies]

Ouch. That one really hurt!

[He's laying on the sarcasm thick today.]

I want more darkness...

[fluffydeathdealer]

You really are foolish. For something like that? There's no way.

[His voice is carelessly cold. Even angry, he's not that thick.]

But maybe we could come to some arrangement.

[stealshinies]

Hey, it was worth a try! [He shrugs. You can't blame him for trying.]

Then what do you suggest, my dear Akh?

[fluffydeathdealer]

If I lose, I'll do something for you. No arguments, no restraints... save two. It can't involve giving you any of the Items. Those are mine. And I won't give you my darkness for it.

[Lifting a hand to silence him, he continues.]

But-! If I lose, I'll give you one other way to earn a little more of that darkness you crave. It'll be tiresome for you, but I'm sure you won't mind that.

It's simple enough. If I lose, that means I've gone soft. I want you to help me regain my strength.

[stealshinies]

And just how is that fair...? I lose, and I still have to do something for you to get what I want?! [He sweeps an arm out.]

The only thing I need from you is the power of darkness.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Then you're on your own. I'm the one that holds all the cards on that front, after all... heheh.

[And now he feels calmer. Ah, antagonizing other people... it's the best!]

After all, if you win, you're still getting to beat the shit out of me. It's rather unfair to expect me to pay so highly on top of it, don't you think?

[stealshinies]

[He shrugs, voice flat but casual. He's got an idea now...]

It's not my fault if you let yourself get the shit beaten out of you. Do you lack that much confidence in your own abilities that you have to give me these bullshit stipulations? [His lips pull into a smirk.] Is it because you know you'll lose?

[fluffydeathdealer]

[And just like that, his buttons are pushed again. Bastard...!]

Shut up! I'm not running low on confidence!

[Throwing a hand out, he gestures towards the thief king.]

Fine, then! If you win, I'll give you some of that power!

[He can stack the odds in his favour anyway! He has boundless energy compared to the human thief king! And he still has his magic, dammit!]

[stealshinies]

...Sounds good to me.

[You're too easy.

Without any warning, Bakura grabs his Akh's collar and throws roughly him to the floor.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[That was fast, but he reacts just as quickly. Even as he hits the floor he moves, rolling to kick out at the Thief King's legs. At the worst option, he'll have to move, clearing enough space for him to get up. Either way, he's aiming to get on his feet again.]

[stealshinies]

[Bakura does move, in fact he jumps clean out of the way, landing a few feet back in the hall. He stands there, mockingly waiting for his Akh to get up.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[That bastard... he's toying with him. Calm down, he warns himself, Don't let that recklessness take over. But it's one thing to think it and another entirely to do it. If his anger clouds him, he won't be able to think straight. He'll leave himself vulnerable. But even so...

That mocking smile pisses him off! Putting all of his unnatural speed into it, he hurls himself at the man, throwing a punch at his smug face.]

[stealshinies]

[He waits patiently, unflinching, and then he ducks, rounding around to his Akh's back so he can kick him in the back of the knees.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Shit-! His knees buckle and he falls, his momentum carrying him over as he rolls. Scrambling to his feet, he growls.]

Bastard...

[Yeah, he's outmatched. He's majorly outmatched. There's only one advantage he has over the thief king, and that's his energy levels. Then his strategy needs to change. Wear him down. But if the thief king is just letting him wear himself down like this... that's not going to be so easy.]

Come on, then! Unless you're having too much fun just standing there!

[stealshinies]

Actually... I was just waiting for you to land a blow~!

[He spreads his arms as if welcoming his Akh to attack.] You know...before I beat you into dust.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Bring it on!

[Bakura's energetic response is surprisingly not angry. It even sounds amused. It's like the mocking threat just feeds his determination, and he doesn't hesitate any longer. Discarding his strategy of wearing the thief king down, he makes a decision. If the other Bakura wanted him to land a hit, he would~!

By paralysing him briefly and then rushing in to punch him.]

[stealshinies]

H-hahaha! [That's what he likes to see! Bakura planned on waiting again and the dodging...when he noticed his body was suddenly frozen.]

...?! [That bastard--...easily connects his next punch, but with the paralysis wearing off a split second later, Bakura just returns it.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[An amused laugh follows, even as Bakura jerks back to dodge the worst of the impact. This time, he doesn't hesitate, bringing his foot up with the intent of driving it into the thief king's stomach.]
