DUEL 003: The Bored Spirit At Play

[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...]

[Binky mirrors Death's indignation with a snort and a stamp of his hoof.]

I DO NOT KILL.

[He tilts his head a little, inadvertently letting just a small amount of sunlight into his hood for just a moment. It doesn't hit a neck like one would expect, but rather pure white vertebrae.]

HE STAYS WITH ME.

[He'd have thought his occupation would be very obvious to someone who could see him.]

YES. WHAT IS A "ROLEPLAYER?"

BUT, WHY? DO THEY WISH TO BECOME THAT PERSON? IS IT TO MOCK THEM?

[At least on Soul Cake Night, the whole thing had started as an attempt to frighten away evil spirits.]

IS IT LIKE THEATRE?

[Such a strange concept; taking on someone else's life for one's own entertainment. The depth of human ingenuity never ceased to amaze him.]
