Keh. I'll concede it's not as bad as I was anticipating. Though given my baseline was Facility, I'm not sure that is valid praise.

[ Because you're almost making friends? ]

Don't push your luck.

Wow, someone's grumpy.

[Zack lifts his finger and gives a sagely nod even if he's not the sagely type. Whatever he was going to say flies right out the window and is distracted easily.]

What's wrong with pushing a little luck, and why does your hair look like bat wings?

If everyone still has their limbs attached, I'm not so "grumpy" as you make it sound.

Because I've seen -- and felt -- what happens when her schemes get out of control. And I've no idea what you're talking about.

Mm-hm, mm-hm.

[He nods as if he's thinking about it. He likes his limbs where they are. Zack hasn't been jaded yet to know that there are some things that should never happen.]

You know, maybe she's got something really special planned and she's just hiding it from you. It can't be that bad.

I think you're overestimating the amount she likes me.

[ No he's not. ]

Really? Huh, don't you think it'll be a little weird for a mun to not like one of us? I mean, how can anyone play someone they don't like? Wow, that just sounds...weird by itself.

[Ha-ha, it's funny how that happens. Zack just dug in with his heels and he's not letting go.]

She's done it before. Though I'm more concerned with what happens when she does like one of us. She likes that other scrawny brat well enough and she's putting him through hell right now.

Huh, sounds to me that you have an interesting mun to deal with. Hey, at least she keeps you busy. That's something, right?

Yes, I suppose that is indeed "something".

[ Though he really can't complain too much, since he's getting the Ring. ]

[Zack nods and folds his arms.]

It's funny.

[He takes a few steps to the side in thought.]

The things that we want out of life don't usually happen until we least expect it. Take my advice. If you want to get somewhere, [He stops, turns toward Bakura and pats his legs.] use your legs. If you want to get something done, [He straightens and points to his temple.] use your head.

[ As simplistic as the advice sounds, it's really not that different from what the thief's always thought. ]

Aa, that's the only way to get anything done.

Exactly!

[As cheerful as ever, Zack gives a little salute.]

It's just a little common sense, really. Everything gets so complicated these days that sometimes it's better to go back to the basics, right?

Common sense, as they say, is not so common.

Hm.

[He gave a thoughtful nod.]

I never really thought of it like that. I guess there are some that just don't how to listen to their instincts. I always used to think that it's a matter of knowing when to fight and when to run.

If it was worse than Facility, I think an intervention with your mun would be needed.

[ There's an idea he can get behind. ]

It's not but that gets my vote anyway.

[She snorts.] I doubt it'd be very effective.

So what is it like where you're at?

A team effort then.

[ read: you're invited to cause trouble with him, Maka. ]

You'd like it. A thriving city with a simpler approach to things. One sector has canals and another, fountains of flame that aren't hot to the touch. I could do without as much snow as there is right now.

[ Part of which a certain other white haired one is responsible for... ]

And I will have the Ring, very shortly.

[Her mouth twitches into a smile.]

It sounds relaxing. You must be bored.

[That catches her attention.]

Do you need it there?

Things will be shaken up soon enough.

[ Because every peaceful city needs a few shadow monsters on the loose, right? ]

Not to live. Like Facility, I've been given a body of my own.

[SIGH BAKURA.] I'm not going to ask.

[No Bakura, that is not how people are supposed to react to peace or boredom. 8|]

Oh! Is it-uh, new? I mean, do you look the same as I knew you before?

Best if you don't, saew.

[ THEN THEY ARE CLEARLY WRONG. ]

It is. A mimic of my host's body, which allows me to pose as him when it suits.

[She frowns disapprovingly but doesn't comment.]

Pose as him? [She groans.] Is it really necessary?

Well I certainly don't do it for fun. You never got the opportunity to meet him but if you had, you would understand why people trust him. That's useful to me, no matter where I'm stuck.

I trust you without having to meet him. [She grins because she knows this is a subject that probably still baffles him.]

[ well that mollifies him slightly; disgruntled tone anyway because why are you throwing that around in public ]

Hmph.

[Still smiling.]

You don't need to pretend to be someone else to get anyone's trust, Bakura. [Well, not unless he has nefarious plans. Which this is Bakura so. Why does she trust him again?]

Flatterer.

The description of life on a turtle sounds better than the facility or the tower already.

True though I end up playing the tedious face of my host more often than not. For now, at least.

I used to play Varon in Facility.

Been doing good. I'm strictly in PSLs now. How are you?

I'm okay! busy busy

I hear you. I'm there myself.

No. I rarely hear him anymore.

Aww. Bakura went quiet on me for a year too after Fac. he's just woken back up, as it were

It's good to see him around again and welcome back.
