PERMANENT EVENT: A WHOLE NEW FRONTIER

[intercom_voice]

[Surely it was too early for another announcement, right...? But then there it is, that tell-tale electronic feedback screeching through the halls before a mature female voice resonates through it.]

The doors are unlocked.

[That's all she says. Those who are curious might test the front doors...and they'll find that they open not to the seemingly civilized outskirts of town as the now vanished view from the roof may have made you think, but to the horizon. Likewise that barrier and its lies blocking anybody's escape via the roof or sky has collapsed, leaving the air a tad bit...more temperamental. You see, there was weather now.

Out from the front doors of the Campus can be see an expanse of land and then the sea. Anybody who ventures out further will find that they're still trapped, only in a bigger cage. This new cage is now five miles across the diameter at its longest point. The island itself is about as varied as it comes: covered jungles, a cave system, a single stream leading up to a freshwater lake, and a lone mountain near the center. One part near the front of the school is home to a sometimes-pleasant sandy shore ripe for the hunting sea life. Everywhere else is a perilous cliff fall into the sea.

Anybody who tries to escape via the sea will find the riptide tearing them back to a cave near the shore.]

((This event is a permanent setting expansion, you can read more about it here as well as in the island setting page near the bottom here. Have fun, if you have any questions simply address them to the OOC post, plurk, or AIM if applicable, and please don't forget to tag your series!))

[Funnily...or sadly enough, that doesn't sound too far off from something Kaiba would had done six months ago before he fell into a coma. Right now though, he's not quite on that level of pure-sadistic any more.

He certainly planned on ruining the mastermind's reputation though. Oh yes, Kaiba would make sure they could never walk another day on this Earth without the weight of their crimes pressing down on them like a bed of needles. They would know that KaibaCorp was always watching them, and they were never alone.]

... [He actually focuses on Bakura for once, eyes leering like always as he tries to read the other teen for signs of a tasteless joke. Once he decides he's not sure, he looks back to the machine.]

That's funny. I never knew you were a psychopath. Tell me-- [He glances back over.] --Which side of you is the act?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Act? [That makes him laugh. A lot.]

Oh no, Kaiba. You've made a bit of a mistake there. And that's so rare for you!

[His smile widens slowly.]

Neither of us is an act.

We're not even the same person.

[blueyesfanboy]

[Kaiba looks skeptically at the other teen. If it hadn't been for the fact he saw the personality switch in front of his very own eyes, he might have considered "twins" for a brief moment.

But no, this was much simpler than that.]

So you're just insane.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Wrong again.

I wasn't born in this body. My landlord and I have simply... learnt to share.

[By which he means "I take over the body on occasion and make Ryou panic in case I murdered someone he loves."]

But you're not the type of person to believe in ghosts, are you, Kaiba?

[blueyesfanboy]

["Landlord?" Oh, that was funny. That wasn't even sarcasm; it was so ridiculous it almost made him laugh.]

Oh no, I just don't believe in things that don't exist. [He says completely deadpan. Bakura was either playing an elaborate trick, which he doubted, or he had a split personality.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Heh. I'll let you have your delusions for now, since I owe you. I'd be in trouble if this body got destroyed, after all. Finding a host that'll survive it is harder than it sounds... especially one that's close to that group of idiots.

But make no mistake, Seto Kaiba! I exist, whether you think of me as a ghost or a delusion.

[blueyesfanboy]

[As soon as Bakura finishes talking, the dryer dings.]

Finally. [Kaiba stands up, opening the dryer and gathering his things into a neat pile over his arm.]

Now I can leave, and you can go pester somebody else about your personality disorder.

[And now, he heads for the door.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Too bad, Kaiba. Bakura's just going to sidle up behind him quietly to grasp his shoulder. He has to stretch a little to do it.

...if Kaiba wasn't so ornery, he'd switch hosts just to get to be that height.]

Wait. Haven't you forgotten something? You're the one that got us onto the subject.

If you're not careful, being so relentlessly grouchy is going to give you a stress-related heart-attack.

[blueyesfanboy]

[Kaiba is quick to turn around and harshly knock that hand off his shoulder, giving Bakura a very threatening look.]

I was only after an answer--which I got. I don't have any more use for you right now.

[He turns again to leave.

Kaiba didn't get stressed. OR at least, he channeled those feelings into sheer tenacity. There was no point in getting upset; right now he needed his anger to drive himself forward.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Well then. If you're going to be such a little bitch, Kaiba, he's going to follow you.]

Well that's too bad, Kaiba.

Because I still have a use for you... and you're a fool if you think I care about your airs and graces.

[blueyesfanboy]

... [It was quite annoying, not having bodyguards to swat away pests like this one. Oh well, at least he had a smoke bomb left in his pocket.

Kaiba keeps his pace, deftly pulling out the object and letting it drop behind him. In an instance it activates, clouding up the area around them with a thick, impenetrable smoke, allowing Kaiba to make his escape.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

. . .

[Some day, Kaiba, he is going to turn you into a three-inch tall Monster World figure until you finally lose your pride and ask to be turned back. Even if it takes decades.

You bastard.]
