CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: I SEE LONDON, I SEE FRANCE~

[intercom_voice]

[Everybody sees everyone's underpants!

By whatever sadistic, poltergeist-like conscious that ruled this place, everything that isn't undergarments has gone missing. Luckily for everyone, tank tops and socks also count as an undergarments, along with the usual.]

((ooc: event will last until the 20th~ available clothing are: socks, plain tank tops, underwear/boxers/etc. and bras. UNDERAGED CHARACTERS DO NOT HAVE TO BE AFFECTED, but if you want to that's fine too.

Have fun, tag your series title, and so on!))

Tch... Are you calling me annoying?

[Bakura is not fond of cats. They're not too fond of him, either. There's a reason Ryou never got a pet to help with the crippling loneliness, after all.]

I find it hard to believe that cats have gone extinct by your time.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Don't think they have, but I've never seen any for myself. Deserts aren't the most hospitable places. Coyotes are probably the smallest thing out there. But I get the feeling you and most animals don't get along.

[She's rather sorry there isn't more tea. It's starting to get cold again. Folding her arms over her chest, and with a twisted grin, Sibyll inches towards the grouchy spirit.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...hm? What the hell are you up to, woman?

[He eyes her suspiciously, leaning back in his chair in a wary manner.]

Most animals can sense what I am. It's only natural.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Just looking for warmth. I did mention I'm from a desert, right. You're from one. Even though it gets cool at night, it doesn't get this cold. It's a shame you don't have more tea.

[She begins to meander about, making circles that get ever so much closer to Bakura.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

If you're so desperate for warmth, I'm sure I can set something on fire.

[Like you. Stop creeping him out, woman.]

If you're so desperate for tea, you can go to the lounge and make your own.

...and how did you know I was from a desert?

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Doesn't look like you fared so well the last time you played with fire.

[The courier reaches out to take his burned arm in her warm hands, but lets go fairly quickly.]

You've mentioned Egypt before. Sure, my world is a nuclear wasteland, but schooling does still exist.

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Heh. How warm she was. He supposed that was from the teacup. Resting his head on his hands, he looks her over carelessly.]

...I was lucky. Not many can say they were smote by God and walked away. At any rate, I don't remember much of anything from back then.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Poor Ryou. Can't imagine he's done anything deserving of that.

[There's actual pity in her voice now, and her eyes flick to his face, looking for traces of the boy.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

He's fine. He slept through the entire thing. Like that, he can't feel any pain.

[There's no sign of him. Bakura's keeping him pretty heavily sedated.]

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Yes, so much kinder to let him wake up to strange injuries and no memory of how he got them.

[She hops up to sit on the table and watch the spirit.]

Ever had that happen to you? Losing your memory?

[fluffydeathdealer]

[He doesn't bother answering the first part. Like he cares...]

Of course. I don't remember anything about my past, or who I was when I was alive, except for the fact that I was apparently a muscle-bound idiot. He's here, if you were curious.

On top of that, there's gaps in my memory too.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

[She actually looks quite interested in this reveal. Sitting up straighter, Sibyll glances down at him more closely.]

Really? Side effect of getting stuck in a necklace?

[Like hell was she going to tell him that she was in the same boat.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Which part? The amnesia's part of the magic that bound me in here. I get glimpses, at times... but they're momentary, and usually specialized. I didn't get anything of the sort before meeting 'him', so it's probably a side-effect of encountering my enemy.

The memory gaps... I can't explain them away so easily. It's strange. Usually I can remember anything that happens, even if I'm not in control... but these black spots are coming out of nowhere, now. Maybe it's just hitting an overload of information.

[Or maybe Ryou's hiding something. Nah. That can't be.]

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

So you barely remember anything from being alive?

[Her voice takes on an odd tone. It's not quite sympathy. Nor is it pity. Is it...understanding? Her expression doesn't give away any additional clues as to what she's thinking.

Reaching out, she just barely touches the necklace with her fingers]

[fluffydeathdealer]

That's right. [It's an odd tone to hear from her. He's used to her teasing, but this is new. For once, he doesn't jerk away, just letting her touch it. It's warm, but that's about the only unique thing to its feeling. There isn't even a tingle of magic right now.]

It was a shock at first... waking up in that thing with no knowledge of anything. It became clear pretty fast that nobody else had a clue who I was either, so I just ended up drifting around for a while. Helped a few people out, fucked a few people over, robbed a few tombs... Mostly just hung around and tried to learn what I could from peoples' minds, since Shadi wasn't being much of a help.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

Who's Shadi?

[The warmth was nice, but she refrained from playing with the magical pendant any further. Instead, she folds her arms back around herself to keep warm while listening to Bakura.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Heh heh... [That is not a nice laugh, but it's not directed at her.] Shadi's the guardian of the Millennium Items. He handles the thieves and wicked souls who'd seek to obtain their power undeservedly.

He doesn't like me. Can't imagine why.

[His voice is filled with amusement.]

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

I can't imagine why. You're just so sweet. [The teasing smile is back, though it doesn't last long.]

You said you sometimes remember flashes. Like what?

[fluffydeathdealer]

I know! Isn't it utterly surprising?

[He can't hide his laughter. If nothing else, he's not embarrassed to admit he's an asshole. But the other bit...]

It's just little pieces. Nothing too personal. [Closing his eyes, he focuses. He won't tell her about the Blue-Eyes, or the Door to Darkness... What else does he remember, and didn't just learn about secondhand?]

I remember... [Hm? What is this? His voice turns thoughtful, fingers tapping against the table.] ...A woman speaking to me. I can't understand the words, but I know what they mean. She's telling me to hide. I can hear something like screaming in the background, but she sounds more resigned than frightened.

Hmph. I can't remember her face. Just her voice. [Opening his eyes, he glowers irritably into the air.]

Things like that.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

[NO. She is NOT jealous of a crazy 3000 year old spirit who she hates and is still planning on destroying somehow. Okay, maybe a little.]

No good memories, then?

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Jealous? He'd have laughed in her face if she'd admitted it.]

No. My memories tend to be tied into the situation that triggers them. So all I remember is glimpses of fights, usually. Occasionally flickers that point me in the right direction.

I didn't even have that before I made contact with the Millennium Puzzle.

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

[At least he had memories of his prior life. She had nothing prior to visions of Benny's awful suit and being tied up.]

Point you in the direction of anything in particular? Or just your overall goal of killing another spirit stuck in a bit of gold possessing another kid?

[fluffydeathdealer]

I told you, didn't I? I didn't remember anything for the first couple of thousand years. What it pointed me in the right direction of was my goal.

[And wild horses couldn't make him tell her about Kul Elna.]

But that's not important. I already had my sights set on the Pharaoh from long before that. Feelings transcend memories sometimes, you know?

[wildcard_of_the_desert]

No, actually I wouldn't.

[No emotion in the world had ever brought her any closer to her forgotten, abandoned life.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...hoh? I get it... are you missing part of your memories too?
