[Open] Taking over the High Scores

Characters: Bakura Ryou & anyone else near, in, or around the arcade
Location: The arcade
Rating: ...N for nerdy?
Time: Feb 17th, afternoon & evening
Description: Uncomfortably familiar weird stuff is starting happen around Bakura in addition to the drama across the hall, so he's avoiding dealing with it by sinking far too many quarters into machines at the arcade.



It had started when he noted that something he had left in the fridge to have for the next day had been missing. He didn't pay it much mind and had just assumed that he had absentmindedly eaten it the night before. But it seemed like it kept happening... And things he was sure he had put away properly were winding up in other places entirely.

Like they had back in Tokyo.

But he wasn't losing any time this time. Sure, he still would lose track of time when he was playing his games, but realizing that it was suddenly 2am and he had finished the game was different than realizing that it was 5pm and he couldn't remember where he'd spent the last 2 hours. Or why he was in a different part of town than he'd started.

Rather than think on it, after finding the drawers in his dresser looking almost as if someone had been searching through them, he'd headed out to the arcade. What better way to avoid a problem than to play games, right?

Of course, the fact that he was still there, packing away high score after high score on his favorite games after the sun was starting to set when there a possibly serial killer lurking out there, was it's own problem, but when had he ever given things like that any consideration?

"...Even if you might not like the answer?" Motivations were motivations, but who knew what went through the minds of psychopaths.

"Hm." Bakura was a little too kind. Kanji himself would want to know why, he supposed, but not out of how they deserved to explain themselves.

The way the kid said it, though, it sounded like personal experience.

"They killed someone, or multiple people. There ain't shit they can say to 'make sense' of it."

Didn't excuse them, though. Either way, they entered the residential district soon enough, and the tall buildings of Death City Heights in all their glory surrounded them.

The streets were quiet, the moon grinning overhead as it silently watched over everything. Kanji had to wonder if it witnessed every murder, this one culprit responsible for much quieter walks through the city late at night save for the most bold and reckless.

Kanji stopped once they reached building seven.

"Maybe they'll ask when they catch the guy."

"Like a movie villain or somethin'?" There was a ghost of a grin on Kanji's face at that.

"The cop I told you about from my hometown? He gave a monologue. Y'think they'd condense it so the people after him don't have time to nail 'em, y'know?" But he shrugged. Adachi did blow his entire cover with four words, though.

"I think there was some kinda thing I found online once: The Overlord Guide or whatever it's called. Was some kinda list of what to do to keep the good guys from winning. Dunno where to find it now, though."

He turned away then.

"Anyway... I got shit to do. Enjoy yer Jack."

He nodded back at the gratitude.

"I don't game, but I swing by the arcade n' the Agency to see people. You'll probably see me around."

A hand lifted in farewell, and he set off to the building next door.
