Characters: OPEN
Location: Outskirts of Nevada
Rating: PG
Time: All day, Feb 27
Description: Shibusen offers a field trip to acclimate the guests to the Madness wavelength.


It's a perfectly pleasant day for the most part, if one is to look at the sky and maybe the horizon. For the attendees of the fieldtrip, however, things are naturally a lot more grim, if also lot more colorful. There are understandably no civilians in the area -- or any other signs of life apart from the group.

As promised, the location is extensively arranged to cordon off various areas of the place where Madness spikes have been identified. They are all properly labeled, both with text and visuals, and discreet agents kept an eye on all corners of the large field. The mirror by which the guest will come in is set in a corner, with some food provided next to it.

People are free to come and go, though the other end leads to the clinic instead of the Death Room. The rules are simple: venture into a level you think you can handle, and if you can't, someone will help.

In the afternoon, a light rain will come to add some variety to the endless desert. Make sure to take shelter in the open tents provided to protect you from the elements!

Yes, I think so.

Mello held onto the die tighter, mostly instinctively, and made his way back out of the roped-off madness zone. This had worked better than he expected, and he couldn't help but wonder how much more effective it would've been with someone he'd resonated with before.

Not bad, kid.

[shiromadoushi]

The warm feeling that bubbled up from that was much like one would expect a puppy to have when praised. 'Thank you...'

There was a slight pause. 'It's Bakura, Bakura Ryou. I don't think we ever introduced ourselves...' A touch of embarrassment with that realization. They had spoken how many times and Bakura had neglected to offer his name?

[want_the_world]

Mello had made a point of finding out Bakura's name already. He tended to keep a close eye on anyone who got close to L.

He didn't think it was odd to go so long without a proper introduction--he generally didn't offer his own name, not unless someone either asked for or earned it. Bakura (who would probably always be 'kid' some of the time) had earned it by now.

I'm Mello.

He felt that puppyish happiness in having done well. Too bad more people weren't that eager to please.

I'm setting you down now.

[shiromadoushi]

'OK!'

There was barely a moment's pause before the die began to glow and Bakura transformed back into himself. Despite being just a touch rattled by the Madness, he felt as if he had accomplished something and felt better than he had before going in. "Thanks so much for your help, Mello," he smiled warmly.

[want_the_world]

Mello wouldn't have admitted it, but he was relieved resonating with Bakura hadn't ended in injury.

"Thank you, too." He didn't usually bother with pleasantries like that, but he did know how to use them when called for.
