CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: UNFASHIONABLY LATE

[intercom_voice]

[Late into the afternoon, the early risers will find themselves waking up, and the sleep-in types will find themselves sleeping in even longer. All sense of urgency and time has vanished, leaving residents sloth-like or simply too inept to realize how much time is passing. Even when they do realize, well...it's too late now, right?

On top of that, for some reason all the clothing in the building has been replaced with horrible 90s fashion.]

((ooc: The event begins! It will last through the 19th. Feel free to mingle or make your own posts, and you're encouraged to link images of whatever outfit you stick your character in. That's part of the fun!))

No... [sniff] But it was my body first.

[twothirdsthesoul]

It still is... I'm hardly going to take it away from you.

[onethirdthesoul]

But... [What else can he say? He's not going to win.] If I can't use it...

[twothirdsthesoul]

Tell you what... you give me a list of times in which you absolutely refuse to have me involved... and I'll promise to sleep during those times, unless you try to take me off. I'll even be sure to let you stay in control most of the day... don't want to inconvenience you after all, h-heheh...

I'll just be like an extra roommate!

[onethirdthesoul]

[Ryou sounds utterly defeated, and his voice is wavering.] Do they have to be specific times, or can make them circumstantial...?

[twothirdsthesoul]

No, no, circumstances are fine! That's more what I meant anyway. Things like "not while I'm on a date", or "not when I'm cooking"...

[onethirdthesoul]

Un, okay... [Well it's not really okay, but what choice does he have? At least right now.]

Then not when I'm with my friends, or playing games.

[twothirdsthesoul]

...

That first one... is a problem. After all... don't you live with one of your friends...

Ryou...-kun?

[onethirdthesoul]

... [He'd been trying to cover most of his time in as few requests as possible. It's true.]

Well, Rin-chan and I aren't always home at the same time.

[twothirdsthesoul]

Tsk, tsk... it still won't do. I suggest you reword it.

[onethirdthesoul]

... [Ryou's quiet for a bit as he thinks on how to reword it.]

When I'm hanging out with my friends besides Rin-chan, and for Rin-chan, you can't come out if I'm interacting with her.

[twothirdsthesoul]

...

[Hm. He can work around that quite easily. Oh Ryou, you have to learn to specify... after all, "hanging out" is a specific circumstance. And since Ryou specified only when Ryou was dealing with them, that means that he can come out on his own and approach them. Not to mention... if he's interacting with Rin... that means, haha, he can come out the moment the interaction is done.]

Then I accept those terms...

[onethirdthesoul]

Wait--

[The spirit was agreeing too easily.] That includes everything else I said too.

[twothirdsthesoul]

Obviously. Not when you're gaming, and not when you're hanging out with your friends... or interacting with Rin.

Was there a problem with that?

[onethirdthesoul]

...I guess not.

[He's worried the spirit might try to take advantage somehow. Is he missing something?]

I'll be able to make adjustments later, right?

[twothirdsthesoul]

Will you? I wonder... When a deal is done, it's done... It seems a little unfair to let you change the terms later.

[He sounds almost playful as he toys with the Ring.]

[onethirdthesoul]

But this isn't a deal. It's a compromise. [Ryou goes on, surprisingly firm.] And that means we should be able to make adjustments if...one of us realizes the compromise isn't so fair after all.

[twothirdsthesoul]

Hoh... [Maybe he's smarter than he acts.] Fine, but... both of us have to agree for it to be official.

[onethirdthesoul]

... [This is a very easy situation for him to get cornered in.]

But that's not fair either! Because then, wouldn't the person who's getting the better deal just disagree?

[twothirdsthesoul]

Is that so? It's not fair for you to suddenly go "No, I decided this is how it works" without my having a say in it. Or "I changed the compromise, so you're breaking the rules".

It's only logical that in a compromise, it only becomes official if both parties agree. Otherwise, either one could take advantage of it and change the rules at any time...

[onethirdthesoul]

...But how do I know you'll be reasonable later? You might just try to take advantage of me.

[In order to get more time in control of his body. He could only take the spirit's word here. This was a bad situation...]

[twothirdsthesoul]

You'll just have to trust me... after all. I don't really have to give you any time at all. If I wanted to, Ryou... I could have made you sleep forever from the moment you put the Ring back on. The fact that I'm negotiating... doesn't that mean anything to you?

[onethirdthesoul]

Ah... [What a chilling thought. His whole spirit seems to freeze because of it. Maybe it would be a good idea not to press his luck right now.]

It does. I just... [Can't trust you.]

[twothirdsthesoul]

Ah, but Master... there's very little I wouldn't do for you. You know that, right? So you should take advantage of my kindness sometime... Rather than regretting and fussing. And maybe then you'll see how good a friend I can be!

[He goes over to the fridge, grabbing a drink.]

Don't you think that would be better than trying to avoid me all the time out of fear?

[onethirdthesoul]

Last time your kindness put all my friends into comas!

[Why yes, he is still upset over that.] That's why I avoid you, you know! You wanted to kill Yugi-kun and the others.
