[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?

"What a pity," Loki said. "If I could be sure we were from the same reality, I would offer to look for clues in our library when I return to Asgard. I'd wager we have far more information on magical items than the libraries in your world." Since Bakura's was all but without magic and everything. "I could also ask Amora," he added, as the thought occurred to him. "She might know."

Amora's name would not be familiar to one who had only read Norse mythology. However, to anyone with more than a passing familiarity with comic books, the name would ring a bell as a scheming but beautiful sorceress.

"I can't say for sure, but it's possible. If the items you speak of are as powerful as you say, I doubt they've escaped her notice. The lore of the Egyptians is not entirely unknown to us -- they are old and powerful folk, far older than we are. My father has had dealings with them before." It had been long ago, though, long before Loki was born.

Loki thought for a long moment. "I cannot say for sure," he confessed. "But it has certainly been at least two thousand years since their gods came to be. Alas, a better estimate than that is beyond my learning."

"I wish I knew how far into Midgard's future I have come," Loki complained. "That would make figuring ages much easier."

It seemed like a cool idea to Loki, but he wasn't sure they could pull it off. "But most of my lore has to do with the goings-on of the gods, not the sort of history that is recorded by mortals outside of myth. And...I have never left Asgard," he confessed. It had never been a problem before, Loki's preference to remain at home. "I won't be able to tell you what sort of clothes were worn in my time or anything like that."
