[[Bakura's been sending texts to this number for quite a while since he first had it in his head. He's never really expected a response, but as his notebook started writing back, he's going to try it again]]

Did you get this? If so, please reply.

[from her cell phone]

Okay chump I can connect to this... whatever it is (it seems usenetish which is weird), so maybe you can explain who you are and what the hell is going on.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura. I'm not sure what's going on yet. Except that this number didn't connect to anything as of even yesterday and now I can talk to a bunch of different people with it.

[reapsthewind]

... oh hot damn sorry kiddo about being an ass like that.

It's Chris. You too, huh?

[shiromadoushi]

Chris?! First Mr. Lyall and now you? This is getting weird!

Maybe we should check for any meteor strikes that hit night nearby.

[reapsthewind]

Who, your bio-teacher? Weird.

[There's a pause between this text and the next. She rubs at her eyes.]

I doubt there's a meteor. I mean you could just google for it, if there was it'd be all over Twitter by now.

... did anything really weird happen when you first got your number? Just curious.

So many Batman moments today, poor kid :)

[shiromadoushi]

[[There's a long pause]]

It was 4 years ago.

[[and Chris should remember what that means.]]

welp

[reapsthewind]

Oh.

[haha not gonna press that further]

Well the point is this is weird as hell. I didn't get any weird numbers until January. Four years... man. Must be some subliminal messaging, but who plays that kind of con game for so long? Also, I can't figure out where this server is hosting images, or... anything about it.

[shiromadoushi]

[[Yeeaaah, good idea, that]]

I don't think it's a con game. Something more.


January was when everything with that jerk friend of yours, wasn't it? Maybe you picked it up in the Dead Zone?

[reapsthewind]

Yeah, with Sam, that asshole. I could have, I guess? Maybe it's triggered by trauma. But that doesn't explain WHERE it comes from...

[shiromadoushi]

Outer space? or something like it. It's kinda like a video game, or a sentai show.

[[a moment's pause]]

If we turn out to be Power Rangers, I'm totally calling dibs on being the blue one.

[reapsthewind]

Only if I get to be Red.

Honestly I'd rather like, a giant robot show or something.


[well at least you're good for a laugh, kiddo.]

[shiromadoushi]

As if you'd be any other color.

As long as robots are involved some way or another, ne?

[reapsthewind]

Yeah, exactly. Robots are awesome.

[You can't see it, but that's actually said with a bit of trepidation. Her eyes...]

[shiromadoushi]

Especially ones you get to pilot! I really hope it is something like that. That really would be awesome. Even if it means there's like aliens or monsters or something we have to fight. That'd be pretty cool too!

[reapsthewind]

Yeah, I guess.

[She doesn't like her life very much, that's for sure. And... hey, maybe it'd be cool to be a superhero. Maybe people'd actually pay attention to her.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura's not to fond of his either. Or at least the past 4 years of his life]]

We still on for this afternoon? I can show you the notes I took in math class.

[[and by notes, he totally means the doodle war with that paranoid guy]]

[reapsthewind]

Duh, you're not going to weasel out of tutoring. And I wouldn't miss storming Castle Wyvern for anything. Gotta get me that phat lewt. And eventually you watch, I'm gonna depose that king...

[shiromadoushi]

You're going to need better dice for that!

[reapsthewind]

Just machined my own set of aluminum dice today. Rendered 'em in auto-cad first, so they're perfectly balanced. You should see 'em.


[she might have loaded them. A little.]

[shiromadoushi]

Really?! That's awesome! I can't wait to see!

[[and he won't care if they're loaded. As long as he gets a load set too~]]

[reapsthewind]

[if you ask...]

I wish I had the money to get ones made of damascus steel, actually. It'd look cool and you could say that your longsword die is, indeed, the finest Spanish steel.

[shiromadoushi]

[[he just might~]]

That would be awesome! :D How expensive is it, that sort?

[[since. Well. He has quite a bit of money in that trust fund still.]]

[reapsthewind]

Pretty pricey. Don't even think about it, you're gonna need that money for college, trust me.

[shiromadoushi]

I won't.

Mom and dad taught there.

[[and even though they weren't any more, it was hardly any fault of their own or the colleges... so as part of the memorial, he got granted the tuition wavers he would have gotten if they hadn't died. For use when he was ready.]]

[reapsthewind]

oh

[wow foot in mouth all day erryday well you are Starscream]

We'll chat in person later, ok?
