CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: EVERYTHING AND THE KITCHEN SINK

[Hopefully everybody likes waking up outside.

Because as it were, in the middle of the night when everybody had been asleep or lulled into a sudden one by the sheer weight of the air around them...the Campus disappeared in its entirety. Left behind was only the cool surface of the concrete foundation.

For now it seems the residents were left to fend for themselves in the wilderness of the island. Not even the voice from over the intercom would comfort them.]

((ooc: the school has disappeared, along with all the NPCs and everything that was inside! no opt-out areas this time around. The temperature is cool during the day, and colder at night.

The event will last until October 20th, and I'll post a closer to signify it. Everything will be returned to its rightful place then.))

[Ug... she really was an animal. She hadn't even thought about how she ate that much around everyone else, but him... she's embarrassed showing that side to him. Maybe that dragon was replacing her, somehow...

Sigh.

She still makes sure not to look at him, laying down on her stomach near the fire and closing her eyes. Nope. Not gonna say anything.]

[Burp.

Bakura messily wipes his face with the back of his hand, having eaten his fill of meat. As he continues to stare at Karasu, he smirks and flicks his tongue out across his lips to lap up any remaining blood.

Now, perhaps he could use her to help him steal the items under the guise of "training" as well...]

[...Geeze. She glances over at that, noticing the staring and sitting back up, feeling uncomfortable.]

What?

[He speaks languidly, tired from his meal.] Just thinking of your next lesson...

By the way, that flying lesson counts as another favour. You're up to four now.

Yeah, yeah, I figured as much...

[Sigh. She lays back down, on her back this time, and closes her eyes some to relax.]

You need to work on being lighter on your feet, for one.

[Bakura leans back against a tree trunk, folding his arms and closing his eyes. He wasn't going to sleep with her around, but he could rest his eyes.]

"Lighter on my feet?" I don't think dragons are known for being quick-footed thieves.

Feh! I'm not expecting that much, but you can still do better! If anything...it might be useful for you to gain those skills in your human form, h-hehe...and then you can transform when you need to defend yourself. Or attack.

...Are you trying to convert me?

My Ka is under my unwavering command...my soul is my own! Don't you want the same?!

That depends on what you mean. If you mean having my "ka" listening to me and my soul as my own, yes, I do.

...If you mean being under your command, no. Not even close. I don't want to answer to someone like that unless I actually care about them.

H-heh heh... [Is she that suspicious of him still? Of course she is...] I meant the first, of course. Isn't that what I told you? I'll help you tame your monstrous soul, and in return you do favours for me.

You're the King of Thieves, aren't you? A thief doesn't become a good thief without having a silver tongue. The King of Thieves would have to be a King of Liars, too, wouldn't he?

So you'll forgive me for being suspicious of the double-meanings.

[He'd almost be proud of that perceptiveness of hers if he weren't frustrated by the fact it was being used against him.

He leans forward suddenly, grinning widely as he barks out his brash reply.]

As the King of Thieves my tongue is coated with blood and gold! ...I don't have time for silver!

A gold tongue, then. Whatever precious metal it is, the point is the same, isn't it? I can't take what you say at face value, because it's easy to hide meanings in words.

H-hehe! You're stupider than I thought... Putting all your meaning into words is useless when they can fall on death ears! What matters are actions!

I'm not here to talk, I'm here to do... But I do like talking~.

I'm sure you do... which is why I'm going to stay suspicious, thanks.

[She closes her eyes, choosing not to respond to the taunt. It's easier just to ignore it for now, at least.]

Go ahead...you're taking my advice regardless, so it doesn't matter to me.

[So this girl might take a bit more work than he thought. That was fine...he had time. He had plenty of time.

If his Akh's future came to fruition, he had three millenniums of it. But that was the future he wanted to stop.]

[The silence settles in unbroken, then, as Karasu wraps herself in that fur, snuggling down to try and get comfortable. Between it and the fire, she feels pretty warm, but she doesn't feel comfortable enough to actually sleep.

...She'll wait until he goes to sleep, she thinks. Or at least looks like it. Then she can go back to Kai.]

[Bakura woke up not too long ago, so he wasn't sleeping any time soon. Even if the meal had made him a bit drowsy, the most he would do is close his eyes for a few minutes at a time before fiddling or fidgeting with something else.

He seemed pretty content, if thoughtful, and eventually laid back against the grass to soak in the pleasant warmth of the fire.

Sleeping here with all that smoke was just begging to be found. He wasn't that foolish.]

[...That figures. She sighs, shifting over uncomfortably to look out into the woods again, or over the cliff, or anywhere but him. Really, nothing's stopping her from walking away, except maybe him snapping at her for it, but she just has a weird feeling like it'd cause more trouble than it'd be worth.

So instead, she sighs, then begins to sing quietly. Might as well.]

♪ A prudent thief should never drink so much that he becomes bold, because a thief who boasts and brags will rarely live to grow old.

For silence is a thief's best bet! And if he breaks this etiquette, undoubtedly what he will get...

Will be more trouble than gold. ♫

[He shifts, daydreaming suddenly of past excursions and future plans. Suddenly, he's lying supine in the grave of a king, surrounded by wealth and robes. Smiling broadly within his dream he sits up, running his hand through the coins at his side. He picks a handful up, feeling them in his palm before going forth to loot whatever was to his liking.]

[If she notices that he's wrapped up in that illusion from the song, she doesn't react to it, just closing her eyes to try and relax some, at least, as she sings through it.]

...♪ And so he was a thief no more for that was part of the deal. His bet was lost because she gave him what he went there to steal! So other thieves may scorn and mock, his name and tale but still they flock for a drink and a look at the Empresses Lock...

The finest tavern in Greel. ♫

[The silence settles back in, Karasu opening her eyes and grabbing a nearby stick to poke at the fire some.]

[When Karasu's singing stops, so does Bakura's accompanying daydream. He blinks, bleary eyed into the world again, sitting up with a look of mild perturbation.

It wasn't like him to let his mind wander off like that. Maybe he was more tired than he thought.]

Feh... [Getting to his feet, Bakura brushes himself off.] We'll continue tomorrow, I'm sick of your face for today! H-heh...hopefully that dragon won't eat you overnight.

Fine with me. Later, thief king.

[She gets up, ignoring the jab even if it makes her stomach twist and readjusting the fur.

Walking off now! No way is she flying again...]
