[video] about twenty minutes after Obi-Wan's post

[he's had some time to scream and cry and otherwise react, but he's posting very deliberately now - looking enraged, grief-stricken, and sporting a glowing green symbol on his forehead]

Who did it. WHO?! WHO KILLED BAKURA?!

I swear to you, whoever you are, I will find you. And when I do, I'm going to make you pay. Because I have power, now. I'll do worse than kill you, I'll rip your soul from your body! Let's see you just pop right back to life and go on your merry way without a soul!

[hideous pause - he tilts his head to really show that glowy symbol]

It was me you wanted, wasn't it? Why did you kill him, then? Was it a message to me? You should have taken me. You should have taken me instead of him!! I WON'T FAIL THIS TIME! Stop taking my little brothers away from me! I will avenge him this time, I promise!

...if this is your doing, Major...

[and now a sick grin] ...I'm going to let Kyosuke torture you before I take your soul. If there was a Leviathan here, I'd feed you to it without a moment's hesitation, but I guess I'll just have to settle for keeping a hold of it until your body rots.

[over his shoulder] Kyosuke. Let's go.

((ooc: Oricalchos event has begun! If you signed up to have your soul taken, let me know if you want to log it, action it, or handwave! There's still ~~two~~ one slot if someone wants a last-minute chance))

You're not- Alastair you- [You'll be just as bad as him is what she thinks, but she's not quite able to get the words out.]

What. [snarling, he's in a mood to be mouthy tonight]

Don't do anything stupid.

I would never.

[ Sounding like she's been crying a while. ] I-If I can do anything... anything to help find whoever did this... I will.

Is there anything you can do? Do you know who did this?

No, I don't, but... maybe I can find out. I don't know.

Hmph. If you can, then do it. I need to find this guy, whoever he was.

[UH.

that.

yeah.]

Alastair!

[what, you don't like the green glowy?]

What?

[unless it's Burning Justice green glowy is usually a bad sign yeah]

What in pitforge do you think you're doing!?

Would Bakura want this in his name?!

[mentioning that name only makes him even more enraged with grief]

He's not here! He's gone! They took him away from me! I'm not going to let them get away with that!

Yes, he's gone, and perhaps they do need to be shown that such is anything but acceptable.

But not like this.

Do not lower yourself to their level.

Don't lecture me, Vector. I'm not a good guy. I don't have to play by those rules. If I don't do something, they'll just keep killing. Everyone I've ever cared about will be dead if I don't do something!

At what cost?

I don't care!

I...really don't care.

Then let us care for you.

Please.

Stay out of it! This is my fault, they came after me! They came after me and I wasn't there so they killed Bakura instead!

[hysterical rage, can you see it?]

That's why it's up to me to finish it. Don't you get it? Bakura's my little brother, and he got in the way. Again! They always get in the way when I'm supposed to be the one who's dead! Well, not this time!

[brb, just laughing forever]

You got a problem?

Did I say I did~?

Why don't you just shut up and go creep on someone else? I've got things to do. Souls to take.

Why would I, when the Network is so entertaining tonight? [exaggerated yawn] Mm-hm, so I've gathered.

And I suppose you're here to gloat about him being dead? Well, you can just fuck right off, then! You don't care about him at all, so just lay off.

I would think gloating to be the province of the killer, not the bystanders.

That, and you're an amusing amateur.

Amateur? What do you know of it? I spent seven years with this power, I know exactly how it works and what to do with it.

Only seven? [some sort of tsk-ing noise, you know the type] A mere babe then, fascinated with a toy.

What was that? You think you know any better?

You heard me. Or are you child enough to need repetition of everything?

No, I need you to stop talking in riddles and acting like you're so much better than me. Unless you're begging to be the first soul I take, to which I say, good. Bring it on. When Bakura comes back he'll be happy to know I trapped your soul so you won't bother him anymore!

It's been a while since I've been so entertained. Playing at the stealing of souls? You'd best rethink your choice before challenging one who trumps you both in age and experience.

Unless you enjoy losing; you'd make a wonderful addition to my collection.

[a moment's pause]

So that's what you do. I was kind of wondering, but now you've spelled it all out for me. Thanks.

I'm not playing, though. I don't joke around about this. You can test me and see, but it's your soul to lose.

Surprised your little brother-- [that word said in a singsong, mocking voice, of course] --didn't spell it out for you. He was ever so good at attempting to do so. I suppose he chickened out as he did every other time.

[a slight shifting of fabric; he's shrugging]

Ah-ah! Tempting, tempting. But if you're naught but playing, you're wasting my time. Show me your victims, child, and I'll see if you're worthy of my notice.

You shut up about him, you parasite!

You'll see soon enough. If you'd rather cower in some dark hole somewhere and let me have all the fun, fine! So be it! When you're man enough to face me, I'll be ready for you.

[Can you hear his eyes rolling, Alastair? Because they are.] As is my preference, actually. I don't find him that interesting, after all.

[Oh no, the Pharaoh's spirit was much more interesting, but he'd up and disappeared, or so it seemed. Pity that.]

Really, there is nothing stopping you from coming over here; the MAC isn't exactly a secret. [And it's always been fun to watch people faced with a choice, though he's pretty sure vengeance will win out with this one. Pity; Alastair seemed as if he had potential.]

But, as I said: entertainment.

Heh. Good to know. I've got bigger fish to fry than you, but you can bet once I get a few extra cards, you'll be on my list. I never trusted you, and now I feel like doing it just for spite.

[exaggerated yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn ~~rofl he's such a bastard someone punch him plz~~]

Yes, a rather nice addition to my collection, I think.

[grrrface well if you'd just face me I'll punch you good]

We'll see who adds who to a collection. [although now he has to think about what to do with the souls once he gets them...no handy walls in temples around here]

[yeah, yeah, whatever]

Mm-hm. Keep talking, Alastair. Maybe you might convince someone someday. [well now see if you were nice to me I could give you some pointers there, OriThingy-boy. Your loss~]

I don't need to keep talking. I know what I'm gonna do. You're the one hiding from me. But have it your way, other-spirit. Whatever you are. I'll save you for last.

Telling you where I am is hardly hiding from you, unless the definition's been changed since last I checked.

It's you who has the choice, after all. We both know which one you'll make.

... [grrrrrr] For tonight, maybe. Tomorrow's another day.

Indeed it is.
