So I'm going to be going on a trip to see my cousins soon and I was thinking that there has to be some way to get around that whole "forgetting every important thing" BS. So I've been writing out pretty intense notes, writing down everything I don't want to forget and going to bring that with me so I'll at least have that, and I want some of you guys to keep in touch. I'll be in Japan so texting is kinda iffy, but I'll be checking my mail a bunch, so you guys can just text me though that.

Because seriously, just my luck to have to leave for a week right when we get the main quest, right?

[There's probably a lot he can say to this regarding the seemingly cavalier attitude about what happened a couple days ago. He's still trying to keep himself calm about that, trying to figure out just what this new ability of his even is, wondering at the significance of the sleeveless white jacket with a single kanji on the back that he'd found himself in once they'd escaped.

[But no. He'll focus on the issue at hand.]

You actually expect that to work?

[[Ignoring the bad and focusing on the nerdy is one of Bakura's many unhealthy coping skills!]]

Can't hurt to try!

[Whereas this kid goes into over-analysis.]

If you forget everything, what makes you think you're going to even believe those notes you've written out?

What difference does it make if you forget while you're gone? You'll remember it all when you get back, anyway. I say enjoy the goddamn vacation from this shit.

What have you taken in your notes?

[If you'll expect a you who hasn't seen what you've seen to take them to heart...]

Text

[shiromadoushi]

Because I was the one who wrote them. C'mon, you should know me well enough to know that I would totally believe that.

Text

[shiromadoushi]

Because I don't want to forget something this big. Or fuck something up because I have no idea anything any more.

[shiromadoushi]

Lots of stuff. All the flashbacks, stuff about Diabound, stuff about the crazy shit in the district and the caves.


And a note not to call you Freshmeat anymore.

[[because this was an important thing.]]

[Okay, he may have a bit of a point there, but he doesn't feel like conceding it.]

Look, I'll keep in touch if you want, but I still say this won't work.

Can tell you're not a gamer.

Re: Text

[reckless_fire]

What could you fuck up in Japan? That has to do with this crap, I mean.

[shiromadoushi]

You really think nothing can track us just because we leave the city?

Re: Text

[reckless_fire]

Maybe eventually. I dunno. Don't think anything's tracked anybody that's left and come back so far, though.

[scramasax]

[Was it?]

When did this need a note?

[He is, regrettably, earnestly perplexed by the importance.]

[shiromadoushi]

Kinda a mean nickname now, right? And it's not supposed to be.

I would be glad to sent you an email if you think it will help :)

[Smiley faces are still happening after the mine thing, even if they do feel a little forced.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[As if Bakura's going to make faces at people pretending nothing's changed.]]

I was sort of hoping you would.

It's DreamEater@totallynotgoogle.com

[icy_heavens]

And that matters why?

[shiromadoushi]

A true gamer would try everything on the off chance it might work because he's used to the most random ass things working out!

[scramasax]

It is? Oh... I see.

[Let's move off the awkward note.] How explicit are the things you've written? If you can't remember anything, it might look so outlandish that you may have done it for fun.

[shiromadoushi]

I worded it so I'd know I was being serious. And it'd be pretty weird to pull a prank on myself.

...though now I'm kinda tempted...

[scramasax]

Tempted to do what?

[With clarity! For heaven's sake life is uncertainty nowadays and it's not good for the chronically curious.]

[shiromadoushi]

Prank myself! This would be the only way it would work, right?

[talktothedoll]

Be careful with those notes. It could be a bit of a problem if they're found by the wrong parties.

Expect an email from countingsheep@gmail.com then :) If you don't mind emails from my personal account instead of my teacherly account.

[They probably count as friends at this point, after all, not just teacher and student. Numbers Club people are a bit special in that regard, and Bakura's closer than most.]
