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!))

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.

[twothirdsthesoul]

And yet again you bring that up! Over and over, almost every time we speak!

[His patience is considerable, but it's starting to reach its' end.]

Enough. Sleep for now. We'll talk when you've calmed down.

[Or rather, when he has.]

[onethirdthesoul]

H-hey, wait! [Ryou panics, trying to get the spirit's attention again before it's too late.]

I forgot-- [But the spell of sleep hits him, heavy and suffocating.] I forgot...something...

[And then, silence.]

[twothirdsthesoul]

[Forgot something? Hmph. Ryou sure is presumptuous sometimes, if he thinks he'll listen right now.

Either way... it'll be disorienting for the boy when he inevitably wakes up. Alone. In the middle of the hallways.

The spirit is worryingly silent at first. Then-]

Yo, Master~!

[...a voice echoes inside of his mind once more. It seems he's forgotten his rage.]

Welcome back!

[...like he's just been away.]

[onethirdthesoul]

Ah... What happened? [Ryou blinks, looking around the hall. The few moments before he was forced asleep were a blur. Hadn't they been talking? Did the Spirit just put him back into control?]
