soul_campaign | 7th Turn: Video

[The video starts with an evil laugh and gleaming eyes in sinister shadows before Bakura leans forward with a grin that’s full of bared teeth. The evil spirit has spent the last days searching the city near and far for the souls of two certain multi-color-haired midgets just to return with his hands empty. He had went all the way to make sure that it was no fluke and now he had certainty of the result. Malicious killing intend is dancing in both his eyes and his voice, twisting them more away from his nice counterpart than ever as he intones a mocking chant.]

The king is dead, the king is dead, long live the king~! Isn’t that how it’s said? [He laughs derisively before he shakes his head with a haughty tsk.]

All those things, all those times …and now that! Having it end like that feels almost too easy! [His smile drops into a discontent frown that turns his eyes hard before he tsks again and shakes his head as he brushes whatever thought he had aside with a wave of his hand.

The expression he presents the network with again seconds later is that of a winner, amused and cruel. ] No more games, dear Death City, for the main actor’s dead and the rest of the story’s already settled! [He feels betrayed.]

Both the main actor and the secondary cast have been removed. [He'd wanted some more time.]

So I’m going to end the game-! [It should have been personal!!]

The only thing is.. What’s the gamemaster left to do once the game’s won and over? [The frown is back at those last words. For a moment Bakura seems honestly troubled, then he shakes his head again with a mumbled curse and ends the connection. Atem has been much more than just an enemy to him.

No amount of public gloating can replace killing him with his own hands.]

How so? You still look well and haven't lost all your color, so you don't look the part at all.

[He lets out a small haughty laugh at that comment.]

Keh~ I'm sure the guy whose body I've stolen will appreciate hearing that. It has taken me a long time to find one that compatible even though it's performance leaves to be desired in many areas.

[Mainly muscle power. Gods, and stamina too, even when Bakura is apt at getting the maximum out of the material he has.]

...what?

[She couldn't even begin to wrap her mind around what he said just now, so she frowns whilst looking a little concerned.]

Do you need to go to the clinic, then? You sound like you haven't gotten enough sleep.

Oh, I'm fine, don't worry about that.

What I meant to say - the 'ugly truth' as they might dramatically put it - is that I'm actually a body-snatching evil spirit. I've quit living and been on the move since about three-thousand years, although the current circumstances have put a temporary stop on that.

You can call me the curse of the Pharaoh.

[No need to go into the finer details of his possessions or how he has been staying 'Around'.]

Ohhh, so that's how it is.

[Even if she doesn't completely understand, the frown lessens somewhat.]

But, why a curse? Far as I know, you've been a decent person who's given tactful advice.

That's because I have no reason to hate you. I'm not the kind of man who'll just rampage without any brain.

[Normally he'd also not be the kind of man who'd explain this much, but with Atem gone he feels that the circumstances have drastically changed.]
