:3 Oh hoh.. Thank you! ^^ Yes, I always try my best to be good to people. <3 Keh, I also have trouble not liking people or being mad at them, until they start actually making attacks, y'know? >>; But, mmhm.. I have a phobia/intense fear of being mean. =B I'm also a literature addict and five to six year Yuugiou role player, so this is my picky field.
8D Keh, well now, it's a good thing we have that lovely object called compromise, isn't it? 'Cause to be honest I have more problems with Neferitja than Hafsah. :3 But not jus' 'cause Yami no Bakura and his Thief King persona are my favorites (to be honest, Malik's my favorite =B), but because I've been doing fanfiction and role plays a lot, I know where the pit falls are, where the clichés are, where the trends and the inconstancies and a lot of the pet peeves are.
:3 Kekekeke... Lemme know if at any time you wanna move this discussion to Private Messages, too. <3 If you'd prefer some more privacy to this or something. 8D I have no idea. >>;; Keh.. I remember my first OC OC (rather than my Yuugiou-verse counterpart, and that's a long story that starts when I'm twelve with my first friend, aside from Lauren in first grade, who I only knew a year). She was fun.. 8D I should scour my computer for that document again. owo;; And m'not trying to imply Hafsah is first OC material. Keh, just that she reminds me of mine in a few ways...
Anyway.. xD;; I'mma read your character bio post a bit more thoroughly here a'fore I keep going, love. <3
Okay, first let's cover your numbers. :3 Mwehehe...
One-oh!:: Mmhm, the blonde hair isn't really a problem, I don't much mind either way on appearance. I was simply noting it because, from an Original work of Fiction perspective, she'd get hell in that country for her appearance (although that may work nicely with her backstory..?) and it does kinda make her stand out. Mweh..
Two-E-Oh!:: Mmhm, well, I think either she was born in Egypt, and just kind of fell between the cracks (got distracted by something and ran off, parents left..? I'd like to say one of them died inbetween then and now but it really isn't my call, and then if she WAS indeed born in another country, such as America, remaining parental unit would be searching desperately for the last remnant of their lover, but in the completely wrong country.. owo;; not sure how that'd work, just ideas..).
Three-tree!:: I like her joining the Ghouls, and then getting pulled into the Rare Hunters from the combination of stealth and dueling skills. However, I don't think she'd be a major member of the rare Hunters, or else sent after someone like Yami no Yuugi, Kaiba, maybe not even Jounouchi, 'cause according to her bio, and with the at least minimal amount of mind control/magical influence Malik would have on her, he'd know better than to send a more or less nice person to steal from nice people who are trying to defend other nice people that they love. x3; Keh... Also, I would have no problems with her knowing Malik Personally [[ Oh! If Akila Drops out, I'll play Malik and Yami no Malik, if that's okay with everyone. x3 Mmhm, I love them so...]]. The thing is, Malik knowing her personally, is a whole 'nother story. Now, if I end up playing him, my Malik is a bit less of a tormented fruitcake than Aki-Chan's [[ xD;; No offense, Akila, love. ]], and I can see him having a slight attachment for her. Perhaps, though, it'd be very much kept to himself. :3 I can see her doing things, like thanking him when he ends up taking care of her (not every failure deserves a one way trip to the shadow realm), and giving him a present for his birthday or something, y'know, sweet things, that both eff with his head, and kinda mess with the tough exterior show she needs to put on for the other Ghouls. :3 That make sense...?
Note:: Hah, just notice.. xD; Congratulations on having and Original Character, with an Ancient Egyptian Alter Ego, that doesn't involve the use of ANY Sennen Items. :3 That's super cool.
Four-Tea!:: :3 I still don't like the red coat. Firstly, because I believe, if my time line works right, that he stole it from the tomb of Atemu's father, and based on the history I've read thus far, he didn't go back after he left to actively pursue his goal. I don't think they could have kids, and the other thieves still think she's a man, one way or another, and I don't think Thief King Bakura-Sama would be too fond of having kids in the first place. Well, maybe one or two, to carry on his line, and that of his family n' the residents of Kuru Eruna/Kul Elna, but.. x3 He wouldn't make a good father, either. And Zorc Necrophades' influence on him, would make any relationship, especially marriage, rocky, on and on.. Anyway, I think it'd be good if we put her in Egypt, maybe fifty, a hundred years later.. x.x;; However, then we have to address the High Priest/Pharaoh Seth and Pharaoh Atemu issues, don't we..?
Five-Nif-Tay!:: Mmhm, you'll have to tell me some about that encounter. :3 Kekeke... It sounds rather interesting. Take into account, by that point, Yami no Bakura and Zorc were more or less the same being, and Thief King Bakura's emotions, ideas, beliefs, et cetera, would be VERY twisted, distorted, and difficult for him to understand, much less convey. x3 Mmm, now I wanna rp that scene, though.. Keh... Whatever is s'posed to happen, but.. :3 I devoted so much effort into defining Yami no Bakura, and Thief King Bakura, and then making sure none of that definition really interfered with the Yuugiou canon-verse... [[ D: I wish to steal him from Sai, but that is lyk SOOOOO not my place. ;;--;;.. ]]. But, then her having existed in a later time period, would had to the awkwardness, mhm... x3 Because he would recognize/think of her, and she wouldn't be able to tell it was him as easily (aside from WTF, that's my lover's Ring!!), and then there's this period of dueling and he's being all "Hmmmm.... I wonder..." And finally it's all dramatic Yuugiou pointing and s'kinda "Now then.. *eyes his cards thoughtfully* Tell me one more thing, Hafsah, before I finish arranging you a permanent residence amongst the Shadows... *looks up, bloody eyes narrowed* Where exactly did you get that card? The Queen of Bandits... Is not like any other I have seen before. And... *eyes reluctantly move to study the monster's hologram, rather than the other duelist* It reminds me of... Someone..."
8D Keh.. Except, lyk, more texty and less chat-script format... >>;; Err, anyway...!
:3 Assuming I don't poke at Neffie's (I'mma call her Neffie xD;; ) timeline.. I can honestly see Priest Seth, whatever age he's supposed to be at at that point, helping her escape (after the to-be Pharaoh's encouragement). Keh.. No, he'd pick his own wife. Mmhm.. :3 You know, Atemu was born when Yami no Bakura was, lyk, four to six (I think. I oughtta double check that..). And then she's even younger than Atemu...? How do those age differences line up..?
Six-Ness!:: Mmhm, mm'kay. :3 That's fascinating, I really do like that approach, having her sealed in a stone tablet. Was her Ka and Ba combined, such as between Mahaado, and then later the Dark Magician card, or was it just her soul, and not her Ka Monster combined with her?
Seven-Pay!:: ^^ No problem! Keh, my pleasure! <3
Mmhm, now, lesee if I have any specific issues here that I didn't mention in those... Hmmm.. Well, to be honest..? xD;; It's just the whip. It works excellently for Neffie, considering Neffie's era, but Hafsah, on the other hand... How many people do you know of who know how to use a whip? How is that in any way practical, and how would she get that between country borders, et cetera. Though, my teeth ache right now and my head hurts, I can't think of a similar option to propose at this moment... x3 Oh, yes, and the Master Thief/Master of Disguise.
I can see the Master of Disguise, assuming she had the budget. Between her girly demeanor, and the need to learn to blend, just because she looks different in places where that is BAD, in a field of work where being noticed is BAD, I can live with it. Just.. the term 'Master' I feel is taking it too far. Has an excellent knack, has studied, or worked on, is great at, but Mastering something is... Not easy. :3 I guess my problem here is mostly word use, based. Also, unlike Neffie and 'Kura-Kun, Hafsah, especially in Malik's employment, would have less of a need for stealing, and hence less opportunity to practice. Unlike the disguise bit, I just can NOT see her having mastered thievery. Then add on how in the modern era, there's a lot more ton stealing than pick pocketing, and it gets even more difficult. Though I betcha she has a talent, and a lot of skill. Again, the term 'Master' is obnoxious, and pet peeve-ish. :3 Unless it's a role play that isn't completely serious (where I can add a touch of humor, and/or over powering to a character without causing issues) I don't even consider yami no Bakura // Touzouko Bakura a Master Thief. King of, probably the best or one of the best, of, but not a /Master/, per se.
:3 Keh.. And stuff.. *scuttles off to go find some pain pills!*

I'm a tormented fruitcup...
*is very sad*
Well, damn you all - now I can't drop out. And anyway, he can be an a*****e if he wants. Go ask Kitsune-chan. (Too much Jounouchi abuse... *sigh*) Erm, and I really am possessive, aren't I? Because the fact that you'd take over for him love, makes me feel like... GAH ouch in my heart. Not because you aren't brilliant, but because like... y'know you and Kitsune are in this and I LOVE you both and like... I dunno.. I'd feel all like, everybody is having a party and I'm not invited... but somebody else with my name is like replacing me... but they aren't me! So yea, I dunno... maybe it's my superiority complex... or something, I just... enh.. yea...
But, I mean, yea, T-chan knows I'm a**l when it comes to OC's... It's not that I HAVE to have Jounouchi with Malik, it's more like.. I need to plan things out in my head before hand the way I'm accostumed to playing him and change that later on. >>; Starting out with an OC is already a big jump for me... and while in the past I've made Malik straight... I... yea, it's getting harder for me to even consider him Bi... just because of the background story I've finally got for him.
Another thing... well, PERSONALLY, I figured there weren't any females in the Ghouls/Rare Hunters... erm, that ALSO sort of goes against the background story I made for him... albeit, it could probably be tweaked... but then it'd be odd if she was the only girl... so... I dunno... >> He has a little contempt towards women... >>;;
... erm... but yea... I'm sorry, you seem more suited for the job T-chan... which kind of makes me feel retarded... because I'm so ******** a**l and possessive and what not. I don't want to ruin anything for anybody if this roleplay did like, actually go somewhere... and yea, I still do have an issue with somethings, but like, the fact that you've given RH Hafsah Ishtar better options, I feel like I ought to drop out so you guys can like... have an easier time... erm... yea, without me...
*Sigh*
GAH. I promised never to get myself emotionally worked up because of roleplay partners... >>;;
... I'm sorry...
I like, have no right to critic, or rather, attack anything. I'm sorry. -.- Akila is an a*****e, sorry. crying ;;

D: I said no offense!! *clingage, hugs!* x3 I could start listing all the tormented fruit cups I play.. Malik jus' isn't one of them yet, 'cause I don't play him enough.. owo;; And Akila is always invited to my party.. <3
:3 Yeah, ionno.. If you're playing him, I do kinda like the she knows him but he doesn't know her angle, ionno... owo;; And I can see him being contemptuous, and I know why (and it shall irritate Jou in NSaP to NO end), but, hummm.... See, the main issue we run into here, is... xD;; Hafsah touches down on almost every single Yuugiou character. Every main, at least.. owo;; Kind of like a monopoly...
^^; Heh, that's fascinating, though, I'd never considered that.. All males in the Rare Hunters only, or in the Ghouls as a whole? S'really a fascinating idea, I like it... :3 Kekeke, mebbe Hafsah's job was to keep Ishizu off their trail, while they went after the God Cards..? Which may help explain how she got one, and yet Malik was able to secure two (and the two more powerful ones, if I'm not mistaken). Also, then, I wonder, though... If Hafsah wasn't close to Malik (which I don't she her easily being with your characterization, and even mine, it's pushing it), didn't Malik keep tabs on all his goons using the Millennium Rod..? And then, this takes place after the end of the series doesn't it..? owo;; How would that affect all these relationships and time lines..?
x.x;; Especially if you wanted anything more than vaguely interesting conversation, once or twice, to happen between Neffie and Yami no Bakura, Hafsah(user).. 'Cause by the time Battle City rolls around, he's pretty focused on his Sennen Item gathering goal, even his wife from five kay years ago, isn't that important. Especially given Zorc Necrophades' influence on him.
o3o Scrooge Monkeys. Whadda ya know, we just had a Canon Reality check. xD;; Damn, I'm bad at starting those...
D: I love you Akila! You're super cool! And I do wish you'd be in this role play! .__.;;; I don't know, mebbe if there's too much conflict, I could do I similar RP with Hafsah(user). x.x;; Ick, see, there's another problem, telling the difference between the Gaian and the character. But, just as an option.. 'Cause to be honest.. >>; OCs shake things up more than canon characters... x.x;; Not to be offensive, just.. If it comes down to it, and you wouldn't mind. o3o;; *crosses fingers and prays for peace*

Well, I'm not one to ruin anything, and I understand your dislike for OCs, and I'm willing to make this a private rp and drop out.
Twelve Yb TnuoC, I would LOVE to have a private chat with you, and it would be an honor to rp with you, just to develop Neffy and Hafsah, adding and taking out and such.
Also, it annoys me when people have OCs that have "extra" sennen items. I try to go as canon as possible. XD Even if things are tweaked.
I was thinking about Hafsah last night. Yes, I agree using the term "master" was a bit...BIG. XD I just meant to phrase it is all, it has no meaning. Maybe not so much a thief as a spy or espionage work for Malik. Something like that. XD
Neferitja was completely sealed into the stone tablet. She did it to suffer the punishment for Touzokuoh, at HER request, because of the commitment to him.
Neffy has the whip then. Your statement is very true, I hadn't thought of it before. XD; Apologies, captain!
But yes, I would like to take this private. I would REALLY appreciate it if you helped me with both of them, to make it fit.
Oh, and she's only 3-4 years younger than Atem. XD;
Needless to say, I don't want to ruin anyone's time, especially with an OC who still has room to develop. Therefore, I am dropping out of this rp, and will be working on them. I think it would be best for everyone if I did, thusly we have a win-win situation!
Twelve Yb TnuoC, you can pm me whenever you wish, and I shall discuss whatever you wanna know in further detail. ^_^
Thank you.

@Rare Hunter Hafsah: Erm, sorry if I came off as overly aggressive or anything. But, I'm not completely and totally anti OC. I mean, I've used OC's too.. >>; It's just that, it's hard for me to be so quick and willing for a change in character because of an OC. I believe, that if you are going to play an OC like that, you would also have to play Malik... because, well, for one thing, my version of Malik (is pretty much as T-chan described ^^; ) and y'know like, I dunno if he would hug her upon finding her in the streets. I've kind of deduced that his family isn't very affection or huggy, and as a child I'm sure any social interaction outside the tomb was awkward or completely off. Not that he doesn't have it in him, I mean... that's just my personal opinion.
Part of creating an OC is taking the characterization of the actual Yuugiou characters into thought. And the issue with that is assuming that everybody is going to play each character the same. Which is so not true. I do lots of Irateshipping roleplays and each person who plays Jounouchi is sooo different and yet they all remain relatively true to his character. It's amazing, really. ^^ But yea, I mean, of course not all Malik roleplayists are like me, however, you can't assume that they would necessarily agree with all your terms for him.
However, I don't want you dropping out because I'm picky and don't go with your specifics. I mean, honestly, that makes me feel terrible... >>; ... You could always stay in it and play an unoriginal character right? Like, if you wanted to try that... at least.
Mhm, but yea, T-chan is a nice person. So much moreso than I am. ^^;
Granted, by staying you wouldn't ruin everyones time. And part of the reason I still consider dropping out is because I'm not too fond of the plot turning puppyshipping just because I have personal issues with the pairing. Of course, I decided that if it does occur to a point where I am personally irked, than I'm going to figure a logical way out rather than just drop the character.
@T-chan: It's okay. Moody Akila = quick to take offense. I'm better now. And I think it's sort of funny. ^^; And my roommate thought it was too and wrote it on my bored and even drew a picture of a fruit cup next to it. D: That'd be a nifty mule name, eh? =)
Heh... yea, I don't always make him angry about women... but I guess he's been so deprived, I wouldn't know what else to do with that. I mean, Otogi had been deprived so he runs off and f*cks every girl in the vicinity to get that comfort level. Which makes him look like an a*****e. While Malik avoids women, and then, eventually he just doesn't care. I mean,the one girl in his life is Isis and she is always condescending to her brother. (In my opinion) And then his mom just leaves him behind. (He would've liked to die too... >>: ) Maybe that is incorrect, I just see it as one way of interpreting it. PLUS in the anime and such, I don't see many female duelists. In general, not to stereotype, but it is true. And then the fact that in some versions of my bg, Malik makes the mind slaves... like... sorta... sex slaves? Which is all terrible and I'd feel disgusted if I did that to a girl. >>;; (I put them through enough s**t with Otogi)
In conclusion: You guys both, do what you'd like. Don't let me change your opinions or anything because, well, I tend to be super opinionated at times and hesitant to change... WHICH IS BAD. D: So... erm... yea... don't do anything because I'm like... I dunno threatening? Or you don't wanna upset me. Cause I'm fine, really. I just didn't initially know how to react.
And then I did feel a little like... oh... I'm quick to replace, aren't I? Which made me sad... but yea, I'm over it, K? Just do what you guys want. There is no garuntee that this roleplay will even remain active, y'kno. So... I don't wanna get worked up for nothing. That's kinda dumb.

8D It has occured to me, if I keep coloring my text, that's my Ryou-Kun color. Oopsies.
@Sairyn:: :3 Sorry, I didn't mean to OoC your role play thread, Sai-San. 8D I'm ready to start NAO. >>; But, er, yeah.. Ahem... owo;; I was thinking (because I'm used to playing people, and I love to type, and I love to be in every scene 8D Even if I just stand there and watch), I wanna play Ryou fo' sho', and the Pharaoh an' Yuugi ('cause Yugi's cool. 8D Like me). And then any combination of Seth, Tristan, Anzu/Téa, Mahaado, mmhm... o3o;; Because I'm used to playing lotsa people, I have fun with the diversity, and so many different ways to look at the same situation, ramble ramble rant...
>>;;; I believe most of the OoC discussion here, though, Sai-San, is necessary for starting the role play on a good foot. <3 Just my personal opinion, though..
@Hafsah-San:: ^^ Mmhm, my pleasure! then I shall message ye immediately. <3 And call me T-Chan, please.
@Aki-Chan:: ^^; I'm very very very glad you feel better now. heart :3 And if m'understanding right, a fair share of her decision is also, well... xD;; For more character development time. Though, I agree, Hafsah shouldn't have to drop out, jus' 'cause she wants to play an OC. <3
x3;; My Best Friend is super opinionated and hates change, too. Kekekeke.. owo;; You're not quick to replace, either. xD;; I just like to play everyone. I think it'd be LOTS moar funness if you played him. :3 Keh.. Ohhh, I <3 Malik. xD;; He's so moody.
:3 Tormented Fruitcup. <3 Mmhm, that is a good line, isn't it? 8D Great mule name, hohyes.

*pokes head into the room* Is the big discussion over? o.o *rolls back into room* I try to avoid online situations such as these... a lot of people seem surprised when I say this, but I have a nasty temper when it comes to online debating... >_>;; Erm... yeah. XD;; Anyway, guess I'll put my two cents in now that things have calmed down.
In all honesty, I don't think I'm gonna stay in this RP if Akila doesn't. Nothing personal to anyone. And it's not like I don't feel I can ever do a YUU*GI*OU roleplay without Akila, but I just know I will not be able to enjoy myself if I know she's not participating because of hard feelings... ^^;; I mean, I know no one is mad or anything, but there's definitely some disagreements and some uncomfortableness, and I really don't want to participate in a roleplay that one of my best friends felt driven to leave from, regardless or her reasons. Erm... hope I'm not coming out as offensive to anyone... but yeah... I probably drop out if Akila ends up doing so...
And Hafsah? Please correct me if I've misinterpreted somethings, because I only skimmed through the extra-long posts, but I have a few critiques on your character as well. Actually, pretty much just a couple of holes that need to be filled in... Warning: Spoilers for Egypt Arc! first of all, I don't see how she and Yami no Bakura could recognize each other in the future. Okay, so I'm not sure about Hafsah, but Yami no Bakura didn't have any memories during Battle City. All he had was the instincts that being part of Zork gave him, to collect the Sennen Items so that he may return to the Memory World. He didn't get any happy little flashbacks about past loved ones like Kaiba did about Kisara. Not to mention if Hafsah was the lover of the Thief King, Yami no Bakura wouldn't even know her then. He isn't the reincarnation of Thief Bakura; he is simply a manifestation of Zork that was sealed into the Sennen Ring. It could be argued that Bakura Ryou is a reincarnation of Thief Bakura, but if compared to the same thought of Yuugi being a reincarnation of Atem, that just doesn't make sense, since Atem's soul was sealed in the Puzzle for 3000 years and therefore unable to be reincarnated. But either way, only the good Bakura could possibly be a reincarnation of the Thief King, and even that is unlikely. The other being in his ring is simply darkness, with the soul goal of getting the Pharoah's memories back so that he may re experience his past and get a second chance to bring Zork to the world.
Then, when going back to the Thief King, that's what gets confusing... see, in the manga, the Thief King was his own person, working for Zork, but still a character in his own right, with a disturbingly similar personality to Yami no Bakura, the manifestation of Zork. It can only be assumed that Zork modeled that manifestation after Thief Bakura, feeling that said personality was a worthy henchmen.
The anime, in my opinion, makes more sense, while at the same time being a bit more complicated. In the anime, we only get a couple glimpses of Thief Bakura's real personality, which, incidentally, is quite similar to Bakura Ryou's. However, Yami no Bakura returns from the past, possessing Thief Bakura, and therefore making it seem as if Thief Bakura and the manifestation of Zork are one in the same. Thief Bakura dies eventually, but Yami no Bakura continues on. Anyway, my point is that Yami no Bakura is not a reincarnation or past life of Thief Bakura. He is simply darkness who uses Bakura as a host. (and in the anime, Thief Bakura as a host in the past)
So that is a hole that might need to be cleared up.
Other problem I have is with Hafsah and her being sealed on a Stone Tablet. That doesn't make much sense... the only characters that 'died' by being sealed on stone tablets were Mahaado and Kisara, and both of them had special situations surrounding them. Mahaado used his magic to combine his soul with his ka (the Magician Monster residing within his soul) so that he could turn into the Black Magician and be powerful enough to kill Bakura, but because he fused his soul with his ka, his body was left behind and died, and his soul was forced to join his ka in a summoning tablet, instead of going to the afterlife. He chose this fate so that he could always protect the Pharaoh.
As for Kisara, she owned a god ka, meaning an extremely powerful being of good, that was considered exceptional and different from other ka from the beginning. She could only summon Blue Eyes, her ka, when she was asleep, and this is because the ka was so powerful, yet such a part of her, that she ended having her soul fused to her ka as well, though this was unintentional; her soul and ka were fused probably since she was born. But because of this, her body also died when she was sealed on a tablet, and her soul was trapped with her ka on said tablet, meaning she never got to go to the afterlife either.
However, this is where the problem lies. If Hafsah died by having her soul sealed onto a tablet, that would mean her soul was also attached to her ka, because one can only attach ka to tablets, not pure souls. For normal people, if their ka are sealed onto tablets, they still live. The ka can then be summoned later by people who hold Sennen Items in order for battle, but the human who used to house the ka is still alive and fine. So unless she managed to find a way to fuse her ka to her soul, or if she had an extremely exceptional ka that was already fused to her soul, I don't see how having her ka removed would kill her. And what's even more confusing is that Set would use that as a 'punishment,' since he sure wouldn't know about her fused ka, unless of course there were others who had managed to gain possession of the Sennen Eye and Ankh, which would be able to detect such powerful ka. However, such powerful ka would have to be deity ka, meaning good and not evil, and the only punishment the Pharaoh's dynasty would give to thieves and such would be to remove their evil ka so that their hearts would be cleansed. But if she had a good ka, they would have no reason to remove it, being in times of peace where they would not requite her ka as a monster for battle. And removing the ka wouldn't cleanse her heart, because it would already be good. Not to mention, Set isn't as much of a b*****d as Kaiba. He had some problems with Akunadin, but overall is fair and just. He wouldn't punish someone else for Bakura's crimes, especially by removing their ka when their ka is clearly divine. This whole thing just doesn't make sense according to how the Egypt Arc explains ka, ba, and souls.
...but yeah. *takes deep breath* Anyway, those are the two holes I found. Nothing personal, but you might want to try filling those in so your character fits into the YUU*GI*OU universe more securely. That's all I got to say I believe...

I'm not even going to be bothered to read that long post above mine since it's not directed at me.
But I'm ready to start anytime you guys are ...
*actually read it*
She's got a point, not only that I really don't feel like having Bakura automatically recognizing someone that I know nothing about really.
And besides that, what would he do if he saw her? Take over Ryou's body and then make out with her?
It would be awkward O_O So I'm a little confused on how to go about this girl being Bakura's ancient lover. (RP wise anyway)

[Scene: Classroom -since they didn't graduate in the series]
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kaiba looked up at the school and sighed. He leaned against a tree and let his feet cross one another.
He'd been late waking up due to terrible nightmares he'd been having about ancient Egypt. 'This is ridiculous!' he thought to himself and started back toward the limo that was waiting patiently for him.
"I'll just head back home, change and go to work." he said quietly to himself as he opened the door to the limo and got inside.
"Home." he ordered the driver and the limo sped off toward the Kaiba Mansion.
When Kaiba arrived there was a letter attached to his gate.
It read:
"I know about the dreams you are having and soon I will be back to take what belonged to me."
Kaiba's eyes widened some before entering into a state of confusion. He sighed and then crumbled up the letter before throwing it over his shoulder and letting the wind carry it off.
~*~*~*~*~*~
[Egypt]
Blood red eyes looked over toward the moonlit sky and then closed slowly.
He then let his body relax and sit down on the sand outside the ancient ruins of what was once his home.
"I wonder if he got my letter?" he asked and then let himself lay back into the sand.
It had been a pain getting to Kaiba's place and then back to Egypt in an afternoon but being with Malik helped some.
"And now just thinking of the guy makes me wonder where the hell he is." Bakura spoke out loud, hoping the that Malik would hear him.

[[ :3 I'm not sure if Hafsah's gonna be lurking in this thread anymore since she decided her characters needed work, and so we're working on them, but, if you guys have any more suggestions, you can note 'em here, or PM me, I've made it my personal goal to help her establish a more conducive of actual Yuugiou facts and less, er.. interfere-y, character backstory. Mmhm, yeah, 80% of my issues are with the AE setting things, too.
For Role Play purposes, I generally assume, as convenience of having some humanity (though never much), that Thief King Bakura ended up sealed in the Ring, usually for the purpose of, Zorc owns his soul, it's a good place to store it so it doesn't end up in the after life, and hence no longer of use to him. As a contingency plan. However, several Millennia with a Dark God takes some tolls on one's memory and sense of self, and the chances of him recognizing anyone he's not trying to kill, are slim to none. [[Ah hah, not that any of you need to know how I play Y. Bakura for this rp x3;;.]] And as for the situation with Priest Seth, well... xD;; Yeah, it just doesn't work. <3 No worries, noted, and appropriate edits shall follow, loves.
:3 In the mean time, I find that fascinating, really, that in the manga (right..? that's what you said K-Chan?), TK Bakura, as himself, rather than possessed by Zorc, really did have similarities to Omote Bakura. Since that's how I ended up developing their characters, that I play them, even though I haven't gotten to read much of AE yet.
>>;;; Insert rant on Soul Essences and Reincarnation versus Rebirth, here. 8D I won't waste your time on it unless it really does become some concern.
.{. English Class, Wednesday, Month x Day y, 9:12am .}.
Yugi Motou sighed heavily, amethyst eyes barely half lidded, head propped up by his elbow, chin resting on his open palm. There was a test on the application of adverbs in hypothetical statements, or some such weirdness, that Friday, and so this whole week had been, and would be until that point, review. The test would be seventy percent of their quarter grade, and they weren't allowed any Japanese characters on the whole sheet. Even their names, would have to be written in romaji style, with characters from the English alphabet. It would probably be pass or fail for this class, too, for the year, considering how much Yugi had missed earlier. But...
Boy was it ever boring.
Allowing his attention to defer further, the boy's gaze drifted to the landscape beyond the classroom windows, just in time to see the sleek black limo pull away, with no CEO apparent on the walk. Was Kaiba-Sama really... going to miss another day of school?
... It didn't seem very Kaiba like, but... He'd been so tense these last few days, even when he had been in school. What was going on with him? It was very much in Yugi's nature to worry, and, well...
If it had anything to do with the random zoning out and weird dreams (which Yugi was having difficulty continuing to dismiss as an over active imagination coupled with simply missing his Aibou), then... Yugi would probably be better to confront the CEO sooner, rather than later.
"Motou-San!" came the teacher sharp voice, ruler smacking down on the edge of Yugi's desk with a snap that literally echoed, and sent the boy half a foot in the air. "Face front and sit up straight! You of all people here, best be paying attention to these, and taking notes! Unless you really think you can get the Principal to sign off an excuse on another failure. Duel Monsters is not as akin to Go as you seem to think it is, you can not make your career on American Card Games."
Yugi blinked, bowing stiffly just a fraction, before straightening his back and squaring his shoulders. "Gomen-nasai, Niigata-Sensei," he said in an automated tone, picking up his pencil and situating his notepad in front of him obediently.
"And see you get good marks this time, Motou-San. I know you're more intelligent than your grades claim," she said, giving him a stern, but caring glance, before returning to the front of the classroom. Yugi let out a small sigh of relief, relaxing marginally. At least he hadn't had to answer any comprehension questions. When it came to English literature.. None of it made any sense.
Actually, a lot of things didn't make sense lately. What was going on with Kaiba-Sama, that he was so tense, and missing so much school? Where was Bakura-Kun, for the past week at least? And... Well, okay, him being the only one of his friends (except for Bakura-Kun) on time for English, wasn't that odd, but...

((@Twelve Yb: Erm, no, it was the anime I believe that Thief Bakura was like Omote no Bakura. Did I say manga? o.o Whoops. XD;; Anyway, in the anime, for the short amount of time he isn't possessed, he does seem like Bakura. In the manga though, he never really is possessed... so he is pretty much like Yami no Bakura personality-wise.
Anyway, looks like Akila and I are both going to drop out of this roleplay. (Akila, please tell me if you decide otherwise) So I'll be taking my leave now. Sorry about leaving, but now Jounouchi's spot is open. Good luck with the roleplay! ^^))

((Uhm, actually, I never said I was completely set on quitting yet. I recently decided I'll wait a few posts to decide whether I want to stay or no... because of my amount of roleplays already and personal reasons, I do greatly consider dropping out. However, for different personal reasons, I'm also consider staying. >>; Sorry if that sounds confusing. My head is generally confusing. Anyway, it's midterm week, so I probably wouldn't be able to post either way because of my work load. I'll try and make a decision by the end of this week. Sorry for the inconvenience... >>;
Especially to you K-chan... erm, I don't recall saying I was for sure on my decision, but if I did, I'm super sorry for misleading you... T__T; ))

((Ah, sorry. XD;; I meant "looks like" as in "it's looking that way" judging by what we've discussed. I didn't meant for sure, but I worded that badly. Sorry. ^^;;
But okay then, I'll wait and see as well.))
