"It's not your choice, then? So what is it, some sort of a test?" An odd sort of test, then, whoever had decided upon it. He gave a nod to the other's words. "Of course I know how hard that is." Which he did. He'd been starved of his usual feeding methods during his time in the Ring.

"Magick isn't a requirement, though it does help to incapacitate someone easier. Same with doing so at night. You're alot less likely to be seen. Which is really an added bonus."

He gave a shrug, and then chuckled before he replied. "I tend to track someone for a few days before I strike. It also pays to have a lighter half who seems very much harmless and attracts those sorts of people. Then there's the fact I can sense the darkness within a heart. The other gods have given me permission to use my ability and send the 'evildoers' back to the Duat." He didn't mention that he could also corrupt someone just as much.

His eyes locked onto the other once more. "You'll know the right prey when you see it. If you want, I can give you a demonstration later."

@kurai-honoo ||🪦 ⛓️make them work together 🪦||

His lips curled into a snarl at the very idea! Why should he have to work alongside his enemy? The other gods had demanded he do this, and had not given him an option otherwise.

"What is it you need, then? Don't make it harder on me than it already is."

"Oh trust me. I have zero interest in your sister. She doesn't possess anything that I'd want."

He did give the peculiar blond a questioning look. "So would you still count as Malik in that familial relation or are you considered the youngest brother. Or perhaps you are just considered a parasite." Yeah, like he was one to talk about parasitism.

Since it's Sunday he's just going to initiate snuggles by way of pulling one dark god into his lap so that he can rest his head.

"Should I get you some grapes while I'm at it?" Malik asks Bakura before taking one of his locks around his tanned fingers and curls it around in an absent way.

(Instead of Sexual its Servant Sunday a new tradition for Zork!!)

Of course he had been napping before Malik appeared to move his head so it rested upon his lap. He blinked up at the blond and then smirked. "Heh, no. I don't want any grapes." He knew the blond was joking anyway.

Oddly, he enjoyed the feeling of having his hair played with and almost dozed off once again. Undoubtedly, the fiend was quite comfortable where he was at. "I could get used to this, I think."

"It was about twenty minutes, give or take." Yuugi said as he held up the bag of a steak towards the fiend.

"I didn't know what to get you as a side so I got you stir-fry." The former vessel of the pharaoh explained.

There really was no trick or dare to his actions. He was willing to give Bakura another chance as a friend just as he had done for Malik.

Twenty minutes hadn't been that long at all. It hadn't even seemed like twenty minutes. He accepted the bag containing steak and stir fry and very much wanted to just slam the door in Yuugi's face.

He could have very easily. Luckily for Yuugi, Bakura was also a very egotistical being that also liked being indulged with attention.

"I think stir fry is adequate enough for the occasion. So, shouldn't be a problem at all. Please, come on in." He moved aside from the door to let the former vessel in.

The apartment was quite small, but it was enough space and that was what had mattered.

Malik bursts into the room in an overly energetic mood. "Rise n shine, Bakura!" He flips on an old radio that he keeps for aesthetic purposes since it's retro and he adores that kind of thing.

"Oh, you love this song and you know it." He says as "Heat of the Moment" by Asia begins playing.

(Hey, Tuesday lol)

He bolts up, wide awake now from a deep sleep thanks to Malik's outburst and the loud radio blaring.

Wait.

Wait.

Didn't something similar to this happen before? Didn't he already live through Tuesday?

"Today is Wednesday, though. Right?" Now he's not so sure because the same thing happened yesterday. Or maybe he was actually still asleep and this had been a false awakening.

Also Malik could've just been messing with him.

"Well, yes. But now has to be completely different circumstances, right?" Now he was thoroughly bound to the young man in a different way and couldn't do a damned thing about it besides be absolutely pissed.

By the sound of the footfalls behind him, Ryo had decided to follow after all. The fiend didn't sense much going on inside of the house. So much for spirits.

Ryo wasn't wrong. The inside of the house was not only in disrepair, but dusty. "It should be dusty, it's been abandoned for about twelve years, I believe." The shrine in the alcove was just as dusty. The people in the pictures unidentifiable under the thick layer.

The longer they stayed, the heavier the air felt.

He brushed off the feeling and found the kitchen. The sliding door to that was stuck fast, so he passed by to scope out something else only to come back moments later to the kitchen door wide open.

"That's cliché," Bakura hissed and walked into the kitchen. Dishes piled in the sink. Table overturned. Layers of dust. Nothing really different.

@hearts-of-cards ||🪦 Ryo and Bakura falling asleep together | nonsexual intimacy | 🪦||

They'd had a whole day devoted to horror movies and similar entertainment, and right around midnight things had taken a turn. The movie had been predictable to the fiend, just like all the others, but he found himself unable to keep his eyes open. Yes, the movie had been that dull and boring.

Apparently it had also put his former host to sleep, too, because he heard soft breathing close to him and some weight against his right side once he woke up enough.

Falling asleep sitting up had been uncomfortable enough, let alone someone slumped against him. "Oi. Wake up." He reached over to give a pat to Ryo's leg in order to get him stirring.

"You catch on faster than I thought-" of course that was a lie. He knew that Mariku caught on quick from experience. He had even learned things beyond Malik's own knowledge and took to Duel Monster cards like a duck to water.

Mariku definitely wasn't a fool.

"Almost out of the Duat as the exit lies up ahead. Don't worry, though, nothing else should appear." The sole guardian had been incapacitated for the time being, giving them the time to fully escape. Plus, alot of dark creatures were in allegiance to him and so shouldn't pose a problem.

"Shortly we will arrive from the East. Quite ironic given that's the place of rebirth and life. The eastern bank of the Nile river. I want to say Waset -- Luxor."

@darkmasterzorku requested a:

Cooperative Starter

"You're the last person, or rather should I say, abomination that I want to actually have to cooperate with." There was a snarl that escaped the blond's lips as he glared at the fiend.

"Isn't this a fine mess you got us into?"

The gods that were overseeing their return and for the sake of humanity figured it would be best to place the Ishtar shade and Zorku into the magickal equivalent of a "get along" shirt, only it wasn't a shirt, but more of a tether formed of pure psychic energy glowing a bright blue color as it connected them both together.

"Oh come now. If you die, then I merely wait for another host to come along. It's not that difficult to imagine!" Of course, he was incredibly picky when it came to choosing someone. "Maybe I'll find someone so much stronger and not built like a limp dish towel."

He knew Ryo's words had been hollow. Just as hollow as his own promises to the said host. They really were two sides of the same coin -- and of course Bakura wouldn't let anything happen to Ryo. He still needed the body to finish his vengeance.

Fortunately for Ryo, the fiend was quite curious as to just what the other was up to. Setting up for some sort of ritual, and his own head tilted to the side as his eyes scanned over the items.

"I'm not doing a drum roll for you, no. But I'll watch and see just how badly this will turn out for you!" Likely not well at all. "Just what the bloody hell do you think you're trying to do, anyway?"

Sure, he could stop this at any time, but Yadonushi-sama seemed to have some gears turning to accomplish some great plan.

Amused, he pressed his ethereal body against the wall. The other was flirting with danger from the entities on the other side. Books written by mortal hands were quite flimsy with their information and sometimes drastically wrong.

"If you want to play around and find out then who am I to stop you? You'll learn through your own deeds well enough!" The dead should remain dead and silent, not communicating with the living. Why should they?

If only Ryo was aware of to whom he was actually speaking.

"As if some mortal-made incantation, holy artifact, spell or prayer would pry me and the Ring away from you! That would be such a grandiose delusion!" No, the dark god had his claws dug in and it would take nothing short of death or divine intervention to separate.

"Hah! Hardly! I have no interest in cards when my own abilities far outweigh that in capabilities!"

He wasn't a duel monster by any means, he was something far stronger, even if he was currently limited.

"Seems like you'll have your work cut out for you. Don't let me stop you, but I wouldn't mind watching."

"You could say I'm one of the elder gods," he was being vague on purpose for now. The other was clearly something to be a bit wary of until he learned just what he was dealing with. The form was interesting. "What are you? Some kind of bizarre monster escaped from a card?" Bakura's first thought was honestly an alien.

[darkmasterzorku]

The way the former vessel became angry honestly surprised him. That wasn't very characteristic and even he hadn't witnessed such a personality coming from Yuugi like that very often before.

"No. Perhaps not your keeper, but certainly capable of being a pain in my ass." In his already weakened state, he didn't want to be put back so soon. Which he figured would happen once the king figured out just what was going on.

He didn't even have to be hostile to get a reaction, and he knew that much. All he had to do was be visible and it'd set the pharaoh off into a rage.

"Do what you want, then. I won't stop you."

@crudelistenebris

"I'm just teasing you. Can't you take a joke?" Yuugi asked Bakura before giving a nervous sort of laugh.

[darkmasterzorku]

The fiend wasn't quite sure if he'd heard the dice fanatic correctly or not.

Tear gassing Kaiba's office? That was definitely a new one. And here the only thing he'd done to Kaiba's main building so far was mess with the security cameras.

"You're asking for more than just an assassination attempt, honestly. Torture first is more his style. I suppose you'll find that out for yourself if you keep it up. Just because he didn't react to what you did... doesn't mean he won't retaliate."

Otogi was asking for it, and no, he wouldn't turn him in for it. There was nothing to gain by intervening in the small trivialities of mortals.

"Telling you where I keep such things would be considered foolish on my part. So no -- I don't think I'll tell you that." After all, what if Otogi chose to be just as much of a nuisance on him as he had been to Kaiba? The other bit he had no trouble discussing.

"I steal and devour souls. I am the god of darkness, death, time, memory, and destruction." One of many associated with the Duat.

" It's my shop, " and that man is no one's 'Father'. He was not equipped to be one of those when he was alive and he certainly isn't now. " Why would I burn my own business down? So counterproductive. I thought you were supposed to be smart. " He shakes his head in mock disappointment... before getting back to INCRIMINATING himself. In perfect irony, Otogi feels safes telling this murderous spirit about what could, in the right context, score him a jail sentence. What's he going to do? Turn him in? That would take playing the good guy.

" It's more along the lines of seeing how many times I can lightly tear gas Kaiba's office before he gets me assassinated. " He is yet to be assassinated so he must be doing SOMETHING right. There's a casual air to his demeanor as he sits down opposite the spirit, really making himself comfortable there with a leg shifted atop the other and a finger drawn up to twirl around a loose lock of his own.

" Now circling back to your thing. What do you do with the lead figures? Leave them lying around? " He takes mental note to tread just carefully enough not to wind up one of them, but he's got to ask.
