[EFFECT ROOM] The Red Thread of Not-Quite-Fate
[This room is definitely one that you wouldn't expect to find in a school, considering that it appears to be a gigantic cafe. Plush carpets, cushioned chairs, a whole bunch of fancy drinks and snacks...
Someone put a dating cafe in the school!]
((OOC: Here's how it works! The room is based off the idea of the red string of fate from Japanese/Chinese legend. On stepping into the room, your character will find a thin but completely unbreakable red string tied to their pinkie, with the other end tied to someone else who's come into the room. The red string persists even if you try to leave, and won't disappear until a full day later. The thread itself will lengthen or shorten depending on the proximity of the two characters, but it won't let you get more than a room's length away from each other.
Here's the complication: the Gods are kind of sort of drunk off their asses, which means that the red string could tie you to literally anyone. Your worst enemy, your brother, your father, Old Man Jenkins... it's one of those things where you're lucky if you get your soulmate! Furthermore, the strings can (by player choice) actually swap around repeatedly, so your character could end up tied to one person all day or have to deal with being tied to five different ones through it!
For characters who don't know about the legend, there's a paper pinned to the wall by the door that explains it (at least, the actual legend, not the drunk-gods part). While the paper can be ripped up, it'll just regenerate a minute or two later.
And yes I purposefully picked the most inappropriate journal for this))

Don't move. Reach for it inside your head.

[Judai closes his eyes a little, trying to do as instructed. The shadows around his legs surge forward, beginning to "pull" the desk towards him. There's a loud scraping sound at it and he opens his eyes, blinking as it stops with the focus broken.]
Uh. I think that thing just moved.
no subject
Interesting...! You moved it.

[He didn't think it gave him telekinesis or anything!]

[If only it had been the Ring... He'd have liked to have power like that.]
Feel free to play around with it more. I'm having fun watching you.

[Judai is more than happy to take that offer, trying to focus on some of the other things in the room and work the magic on them. Even untrained, the darkness answers almost like a familiar guard dog, though his lack of familiarity with it does cause him to fumble here and there.
It doesn't take too long before the room's a mess, the summoned HEROes have dissipated, and Judai's panting a little, somewhat worn.]
Phew... Man, that's crazy!
no subject
[Time to take over. Little by little, he pushes the boy towards sleep.]
no subject
[It's not very hard. Judai's eyes begin to flutter and he yawns a little, head drooping.]

[And Judai will let himself slip off to sleep, just like that. The body's yours, Bakura.]
no subject
Fascinating... it's not comfortable, but it's good.
First thing's first, though. He needs to find something good to use as a 'host'.
...
He slaps himself, pressing his hand to the jacket. He never saw Judai without it. Now...]
Parasite Mind!
[The seal was complete. A little piece of himself pulled away and trapped within the jacket. Poor soul fragment.
Now what to do...]
