Everybody make it out okay from that insanity with the snakes? Check in if I haven't seen you since.




Has anyone really given much through to how much these flashback pulse echo things are actually affecting us? How much power these memories really have to change who we are.

Do you think they can change anything other than just us?

[[There's a bit of a pause]]

Can you do me a favor?

If I start acting really weird, don't come see you or anything... check in with Hajime?

[professorwolf]

Certainly. With Hajime?

[He'd probably also check in with his grandmother, but he won't say that since he's pretty sure Bakura won't approve. He is curious why Hajime in particular, though.]

[shiromadoushi]

Yeah. He should know if something's up.

[[Because in many ways they were the same...]]

[professorwolf]

I will do that, then.

Feeling a little better?

[shiromadoushi]

[[a pause]]

A little. But not really.

I really don't like the memories I get from that asshole. Almost everything I get is horrible. Not that thief is much better, but at least his are mostly the "Life sucks, then you murder god" rather than the insane soul stealing puppet master.

[professorwolf]

I wish there was something I could do to make it easier for you :( It's more than you should have to deal with.

[All of this is, but Bakura's in particular, at his age and with his history.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[another small pause.]]

I wish you could too.

But I'll manage. Always have.

I won't let this asshole ruin anything.

[professorwolf]

Try not to. If it looks like he might, come talk to me again. At the least, perhaps you can show me one of your video games and it'll be something different.

[shiromadoushi]

Willing to put up with me nerding it up to help, huh? True dedication.

Here's just hoping that ass hasn't done anything to video games like he has all other games...

[professorwolf]

Hey, I nerd it up all on my own without your help, I'll have you know :P But yes.

[He's not telling Bakura he plays Guild Wars 2. He might wind up with the boy trying to find his avatar, and that would be awkward.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[What, you don't want an in game stalker, Lyall~?]]

Wii games don't count~ Neither does solitaire~

[professorwolf]

[Calling his nerd cred into question...! Lyall resists the urge to start listing off games he owns, and has beaten.]

I know they don't. I actually hate solitaire. It's impossible to win, half the hands that are dealt. I need something with strategy.

[shiromadoushi]

I knew there was a reason you're my favorite.

So? What sort of strategy?

[professorwolf]

I'm not *that* picky. I've played a variety. I do like empire-building games, but anything where you have to actually think and plan ahead is generally preferable. I've been found on a few MMOs and put a few RPGs under my belt in my time, too.

[You'll notice he's not mentioning them in particular.]
