[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?

It was a whim, really, that steered Yako to actually enter the arcade after she left the Agency for the day. She had never spent much time in them back home, more attracted to the cafes and restaurants she had killed time in with Kanae. Still, it was a bit nostalgic, so she decided to see if, since her middle school years, she had been missing out.

As she made her way through the establishment, eying the brightly lit games and prize stations, she caught sight of a familiar, fluffy head of hair. Interested in spite of herself, she made her way over.

For a while, she just watched Bakura steadily work his way up the levels, thoughtfully waiting until it seemed he had reached a lull. "I had no idea you had a hobby like this." Though he had mentioned tabletops and the like.

Ah, so he was back to the sweet and gentle manner she had first seen. Yako leaned against an unoccupied machine, studying him slowly and quietly for a moment. "Now aren't you glad you got that arm treated? I daresay even this much would give you trouble otherwise."
itaidakimasu: (Ugh.)

[personal profile] itaidakimasu 2012-05-16 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Yako tilted her he'd to the side, sighing. "Oh, so just because you lost the argument, you're going to play innocent? I'm sorry if it hurt your pride, but it was for your own good."

"You know," Yako rolled her eyes. "Morning training? After Resonating? I badgered you all the way to the hospital? You made threats on my life? Surely that rings some sort of bell."
itaidakimasu: (they shush me (shhh))

[personal profile] itaidakimasu 2012-05-16 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh really?" Yako raised her eyes pointedly, but dropped her voice since he seemed to be so concerned with people hearing the wrong thing. "Because I distinctly seem to recall you offering to 'break my pretty little neck'."

Yako frowned, looking a bit unsettled. Something really didn't seem to be adding up. "...You're not going to tell me that you have an evil twin or something, are you?"
itaidakimasu: (they rush me)

[personal profile] itaidakimasu 2012-05-16 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, unless you have a split personality or an unannounced doppelgänger running around, one of us is lying. And I Resonated with you; I actually felt 'you' break character."
itaidakimasu: (telling me I'm running out of time)

Totally fine by me!

"...You really don't remember any of this, do you?" Her tone softened. That...certainly complicated matters.
itaidakimasu: (hmph)

[personal profile] itaidakimasu 2012-05-16 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
"'We' practiced together at training until...well, until 'your' arm started bleeding and the connection broke. 'You' were one of the few Meisters I've met who were able to use a whip without having to learn, so I got worried." Yako frowned. "Bakura-san, do you have any ideas as to what might be going on?"
itaidakimasu: (bzuh?!)

[personal profile] itaidakimasu 2012-05-16 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
A shiver snaked its way down her spine. She shook her head in disbelief. "That's...That's impossible, Weapons don't Resonate together as well as with a Meister. And 'you'...well, 'you' dominated the bond...but it was solid!"
itaidakimasu: (Pout)

[personal profile] itaidakimasu 2012-05-16 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yako reached out and caught him by the wrist, resolute. "Not without some kind of explanation. You don't get to rile me up like that and then leave me freaked out, Bakura-san! That's not fair."
itaidakimasu: (bzuh?!)

[personal profile] itaidakimasu 2012-05-16 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
His transformation well and truly shocked her. For a moment, all she could do was blink, and in her inattention the first thing to cross her mind came out of her mouth when she saw how he had landed.

"O-Oh. A fumble. 'You' taught me about those..."

Yako knelt down slowly, carefully scooping up the D10s. "Bakura-san," She kept her tone gentle. "I don't understand much, but I realize that this is a scary situation, but if you just keep it to yourself, it will only get scarier. If you need help, then tell somebody; it doesn't even have to be me, though I wish you would."
