[Closed Log]

Found them. They're separated. [Bakura held the ring in his hands, the charms that hung at its sides now pointing in the direction of their targets.]

[Nearby, Malik smirks at the news, his face mostly concealed beneath hood of his purple cloak.]
Good. You take Eleanor, and I'll get Harriet then. You know what to do from there.

[Bakura leers in the direction of his target, smirking.] Understood. It should be easy.

[The Egyptian, in return, turns towards his own target and lets out a small laugh.] Hehe...I'll meet you back at the cave then. We'll lure in Henry and Rosenkreuz once we've got the girls.

((ooc: GENERAL WARNING: there will be violence throughout the threads in this post.))

You would deprive me of your lovely eyes?

[...That uh. That's not what she expects, and she looks up in surprise at that.

...what does she even say, that's so completely off the wall from the situation...]

[Well, it got her to look, didn't it?]

There you are, Rose Duelist. You should keep your head high, just like that.

[...Really not what she expected. This... what was he doing?]

...I...

[Okay, really, just. Trying to find words here.]

...I expected you to be insulting me for being helpless. Or something worse.

And what sort of leader would I be if I did that? Don't be such a fool.

[he glares. Still... if that's how she thinks of herself, it won't do. His eyes are cold.]

You believed you were in a safe place, and thus let your guard down to be captured by men much weaker than you. It will not happen again, because now you are wiser. Isn't that so?

Remember, the Blue Eyes they fled in terror from is a monster you have faced honorably and defeated. They do not know this yet, but they will learn should they cross your path again.

[Since when was he their leader? ...But, no, that is a good point.]

Ryou was a friend... I hadn't thought he'd do something like that.

[The cold look causes her to wince very slightly, but she really can't deny what he's saying. It's true, she doesn't think she can ever trust someone so easily again... Ryou had seemed so sweet, and then... her hand throbbed almost in reply to her thoughts.]

Yes... that's true. [She shifts, sitting up a bit straighter.] Your dragons were terrifying... but I faced it, not fled from it, and I had managed to take it down.

[It helps... a little. But she still looks visibly shaken. And it's no surprise, really; she may had adapted to war just fine, but torture was another thing entirely.]

A friend...? [Seriously THAT'S how you got captured? Girl we have been here for less than a month, you don't have FRIENDS. He gives her a bit of a grouchy look, and then says firmly.]

Your friends here are Harriet, the King, and myself. Use others if you wish, but trust not freely!

[he won't insult her, but he can't help but scold her. See, he knew he wasn't good at comforting. He sighs.]

... At any rate, this won't be the last we see of those two. I have something of theirs, and they have your Rose Cards ... I'll need to know everything I can about them before then.

[He still doesn't really know what the hell happened at all, not even Henry and Harriet's duel. He suspects their absence is no mere coincidence.]

[She winces again at that, but perhaps surprisingly, doesn't argue.]

...Yes. You're right, of course. I... just got caught up in feeling back "at home" and hadn't even thought of being wary.

[She had been an idiot. She really had, and the realization makes her a bit unhappy. But... information...?]

...Ryou has some sort of sleep magic. When he led me on, he used it to knock me unconscious before I could properly struggle. The rest... I don't know. Malik was staring off into space half the time and yelling the other.

Staring into space...?

[Interesting. Very interesting.]

That's all I could tell from where I was.

[...Ug, she couldn't even get anything useful from being captured. But oh well. Eleanor runs her uninjured hand along her bandaged one, wincing a little at the lack of a fingernail here and there.]

...Maybe something to do with that thing of his you took?

[He takes the Rod out, holding it to look at it curiously.]

I may have a theory about this item's true identity... but to think that it would turn up here...

What is it?

In an ancient book about my family, one of my Egyptian ancestors was written to possess an artifact of great magical power... a scepter. I was immediately reminded when I saw this.

Scepter...? I guess that thing does look like it. But what does it do? It just seems like a large hunk of gold to me.

"Dominion over the minds of men"... is what I believe it said.

[Though that might be a rough translation, and his memory might be fuzzy.]

Perhaps he was communicating with someone far away. Or perhaps it was something more sinister...

Sinister? You think he was controlling someone?

[It's the only thing she can think of that the line would apply to.]

Hm. What's certain is that he employs some method to speak directly into minds. A voice in my head, he issued a challenge to misdirect me from finding your location. But what, then, could he have needed a diversion from?

...Something they were doing to Harriet and Henry? Now that I think about it... they've been missing a while...

I'm afraid that's most likely the case. After all, there's no one else you and I could be linked to...

[Well, except Kaiba.]

[She isn't sure how to reply to that, just looking at her hand again. It's surreal, almost. Like that part of her that was afraid has just... gone numb for the time being.]

Henry protected her... or she protected him, I'm sure...

[he nods]

I put a stop to whatever they were doing. I'm certain they've scraped through. We'll find them soon enough.

Yeah... I hope so.

[The silence hangs heavy for a bit, then Eleanor suddenly scoots herself over, putting her head against Rosenkreuz's shoulder and closing her eyes.]

[He'll drape an arm around her then and just hold her]

There, there. It will be all right.

[...It's funny. This man was the one who had tried such a thing so long ago, and yet like this... for some reason, she feels relaxed.]

Thank you, Rosenkreuz...

[it wasn't even that long ago though, but it was really nothing personal and he's sorry about it. ...Though if he'd still be sorry if his plan hadn't been a failure is debatable. He just 'hm's a bit at her thanks.]

Well, shall we go and search, or would you like to stay here a bit longer?
