7th Turn: Video | July 31th

[feelsgoodinyou]

[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.]

Is it really a victory, having it be like this?

[[A rare moment of insight? Maybe.]]

...I can't tell whether I should be saying congratulations or give my sympathies.

{Her voice is thoughtful; no pity or condemnation or anything else.}

I'd say, 'start a new game', but with you that could be very dangerous or unhelpful advice.

[Brow raise because dude, what the heck.]

You continue living as one would. Isn't that how it usually goes?

[Oh, Morgan remembers this guy from the last time she talked to him. She doesn't look disturbed despite the evil laughter and crazy grin, more just puzzled because she never met the others from his world.]

...Uh, what are you even talking about?

[huntressing]

That's quite a theatrical way to put it.

[ To put it lightly, right.. but she's getting some vague idea of what's going on for him to say it, although she doesn't know any of the people personally involved. ]

Or the King is dead, The King is dead, long live the Queen. Depending on the monarch and time period and heirs available. [She sounds amused because he sounds half disappointed to have 'won' whatever game he's won. Or like someone quit halfway through and he's trying to make things come together for his victory.]

I believe you generally start a new game.

[Nanami is just staring into the mirror looking tired, she didn't really think this through when she turned on the video function. A couple of times it looks like she means to say something but she doesn't. After all the Pharaoh, or Atem meant completely different things to them.]
