Ninth Roll: February 28th [Video] [Attempting to filter away from Yami Bakura]

[shiromadoushi]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep someone out of your apartment if they seem to have no trouble getting a spare key?

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa... [[This was going to get uncomfortable fast]]

Did-- did you mean here or....?

[starfruitfrog]

Very good, Corporal Giroro. You can begin planning for the traps, de arimasu.

[Keroro is good at asking all the uncomfortable questions. By accident.]

Here, of course, de arimasu.

Unless he's been trying this even before he arrived in Death City, de arimasu.

[this_is_keron]

[One more salute then he's wandering off. First, the sliding door leading to the balcony.]

[shiromadoushi]

I only found out he was here last week... and he always pretends to be me. [[sighs softly]] Even my friends back home can't tell the difference...

[starfruitfrog]

But the difference is that he isn't you, de arimasu. [Now Keroro is doing some official-looking pacing, complete with hands clasped behind his back.]

Which is why he wants to become you and then take over your life, de arimasu.

[Stop watching so many movies and actually do your invasion-work, Keroro.]

[shiromadoushi]

...it's a little different than that....

Feel free to skip him for now. I will tag back in when he's done!

[this_is_keron]

[Don't mind him, he'll just be wandering around, occasionally stopping to tug at something, or knock on the wall.]

[starfruitfrog]

Don't be naive, Bakura-dono. That's all an evil clone wants, de arimasu. Unless you know something about the target that we don't know, de arimasu?

[Still pacing.]

[shiromadoushi]

He's not a evil clone... he's a revenge spirit.

[starfruitfrog]

Revenge...for what, de arimasu?

[shiromadoushi]

I don't really know if it's a what... [[really, he didn't know much about the Ring's Voice.]] It's hard to explain, really. I think he might have been a tomb robber who was caught in one of the Pharaoh's traps.

Oh, and Giroro is popping back in next. Because: ghosts.

[starfruitfrog]

So he's...an evil...spirit, de arimasu...? Like a cursed ghost or something, de arimasu? But what does that have to do with you, Bakura-dono? Are you his reincarnation?

[this_is_keron]

[He was just coming back to give another status report when he caught that last bit.]

Wait. I thought we were dealing with a clone not a g-ghost. [He did not just stutter. Nope.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[a very emphatic shake of his head. There was no way something like that could be possible! He was nothing like that Voice, there was no way--]]

He's attached to an Item I own...

And really, he's good as a clone here, if you think about it, since he has a copy of my body.... [[See, Giroro? Nothing to be afraid of, the ghost is trapped in a human body.]]

[starfruitfrog]

[Reincarnations aren't always the exact same thing as the original, Bakura. You need to watch more movies, like Keroro does.]

An evil spirit haunting an Item...What kind of Item, de arimasu?

[this_is_keron]

He said it's a clone, Keroro.

[Stop using words like 'evil spirit' and 'haunting', please.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[There's this thing called "denial" that Bakura's very stubborn about when it comes to his doppelganger. Nothing at all like him, you hear? Nothing!]]

[[he shakes his head]] Something that isn't here.

[starfruitfrog]

Stop interrupting Bakura-dono, Giroro. [Clone. Evil spirit. Ghost. Pretty much the same thing.]

That must be why he chose your form, de arimasu.

[this_is_keron]

[IT'S NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL!

But more importantly...]

You mentioned he was a tomb robber. How good was he?

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura's pretty sure it wasn't a choice, but he wasn't going to correct that]]

I don't know. I guess he must have been a good one, he doesn't ever seem to have trouble sneaking around....

S-Sorry...I accidentally deleted the notif for this. orz

[starfruitfrog]

[Choice. Accident. Pretty much the same thing.]

A tomb robber...And a really skilled one too, I'm guessing. We'll need bigger traps, de arimasu.

[this_is_keron]

Bigger isn't always better, Keroro.

[More elaborate: that was the key.]

Either way, I won't be out-done by a clone. [He's getting all fired up about this.

Fear for your life, Bakura.]

[shiromadoushi]

...like I said...

[[a soft sigh]]

Just remember about Ulthar, okay?

[starfruitfrog]

Don't bother me with details, Giroro-kun. Just make it happen, de arimasu. And because Bakura-dono requested it, remember to keep his cat in mind when creating your traps.

[They're so caught up with is that Bakura is pretty much being ignored...]

Anything else, Bakura-dono?

[this_is_keron]

Yes, sir!
