[So whatever means of communication you're using, you're all getting not a voice, not a grunt or even a sigh, but a peculiar tune. It sounded as if someone's playing a game, and an old one at that. And on the screen, aside from the black background, there are tiny colorful sprites running around. One of which is avoiding numerous obstacles along the way. Looks fun, right? But you can't play it, sadly.

Because upon closer inspection, it seems that the sprites, the numbers and letterings, everything is shown backwards. And that background? That background isn't exactly black in color, just dark. But not dark enough to show what seemed to be someone's face from the other side of the screen. It's as if you're looking at a tinted window or something.

And from the looks of it, seems like the player's having trouble. Now that his character has met a Grim Reaper along the way. Whoops.

Hopefully everyone enjoys a good livestream of someone playing and failing a classic game?]

It's the magic that transmutes this paper into something more when you write in your passcode. No math. Promise.

[[have a small doodled 2+2=:( circled and crossed out next to that]]

[Text] ok i'm going to stop using my tablet /o\

[gentlebrother]

[Color him impressed.]

Would writing/typing the passcode work on other things too?

[Hey it managed to work and access through the network via the Nintendo. Clearly, it should work on other devices too, right?]

[Text] Aaaww. <3 :)

[shiromadoushi]

Yup! I was using my phone before. But that's harder to draw on.

[The sight of the tapir drawing did keep him amused.]

This is just so weird though.

. . . .

Who am I talking to anyway?

[[a second tapir, this one holding a pencil appears. The word bubble over his his head is soon filled in with:]]

You can call me 'Dream Eater!'

[[then outside the bubble]]

Or Bakura.

I'm Lucas.

Nice to meet you then.

[He guesses.]

[shiromadoushi]

Nice to meet you too!

[[The pencil holding Tapir has a wizard's hat now that says "Guide!" on it]]

Want to ask any questions?

[Text]

[gentlebrother]

[Questions huh? Well there's a few of them here and there in his head, but he's not too sure if he'd ask about it from this guy. Chances are, he might regret about knowing once he did. Like the one about that one guy's encounter with the police. ...Just what happened to that person? He's afraid to find out.

Instead he scrawls in this.]

I heard from everyone else that got these [A pause here, as he thinks of a word.] weird stuff the same time these numbers pop into our brains.

What did you get?

[Well it wouldn't hurt to ask this, right?]

[shiromadoushi]

[[I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and clean up the garbage

But Bakura didn't know that song so he couldn't quote it.]]

I don't think I got anything. Just the numbers at first.

Nothing? Not even a memory or ?

[Text] Had to do it :D

[shiromadoushi]

The memories didn't start happening until later.

[[and he won't realize about the scar until after the D&D game]]
