[Effect Room] Happy New Year's!

[gdiyakou]

Just because Seto Kaiba was temporarily stuck at The Campus, didn't mean he couldn't hold his yearly New Year's Eve Kaiba Corp. sponsored party.

One of the larger classrooms had been converted into a fancy dance club, with a dance floor, bar, and decorated tables, everything in shades of white, blue, and silver. His logo KC adorned most of the decorations.

Everything looked perfect until he looked up and noticed words floating above his head, specifically:

(0/1) New Year's Kisses

And, to his disapproval as well, every door and window seemed to be locked, trapping him inside.

After putting two and two together, the man groaned. Well, kissing or not, he knew he had to keep his public image and his company's reputation in prime condition so he would play along with this silly condition for now.

Kaiba put it at the back of his mind as his guests - or people who just happened to wander in - began to arrive.

DUEL 003: The Bored Spirit At Play

[fluffydeathdealer]

[To say that Bakura's been in a good mood lately is an understatement.

Thanks to the thief king, he has the eighth key that he needs once he gets out of here. It's frustrating being trapped in this place, but he's spent so long with the Ring's imprisonment that it's easy to cope with this. It's just a waiting game. It always has been.

It's said that the greatest enemy of the immortal is boredom. For Bakura, that's an understatement. There weren't many duelists around, getting rid of people wasn't possible with the curse upon this place bringing them back, and the problem with letting his darker instincts out was that in this place, there was no way to get away with it without word spreading too fast, or his victims recovering. How tedious! Even if he took their souls, this place would probably return them to their bodies before long. He couldn't even pursue the remainder of his collection, with Shadi not being accessible.

So for now, he's sitting on the ground in the courtyard despite the cold, working with a much more mundane hobby. He's making a marionette.

It's not quite finished, but it might look familiar... It looks a surprising amount like a creepier version of a certain young boy with ridiculous hair. It's symbolic! And it isn't the only one there. Hanging over the nearest doorway, waiting to fall down on anyone who opens the door to come outside, is a slightly more intimidating one...]

ANNOUNCEMENT 008

[Oddly enough, the woman who usually pipes in over the speakers at least once a month hasn't shown her face--figuratively speaking--this month at all. However, there is a dull static that pours forth from all the speakers today. It is an unending, but bearable white noise.]
