age 14 and chomping at the bit

[onlymydiabound]

Dull, dull, dull!!

How long are you going to keep me waiting, woman?! Searching so hard for a suitable place....

Just give me a challenge with a proper king. A thief's got to practice somehow, you know!

[note_atem]

[Oh no.]

[onlymydiabound]

[Well, well, what have we here.]

What?

Your attention caught by a mere peasant, your Highness?

[An audience with the prince himself - so soon. He likes it here already.]

[note_atem]

[You're so tiny. Not what he's used to. But this perhaps could bring good fortune.]

I am no longer the Pharaoh you wish to seek audience with. [And by that he means kill, maim, murder. You know, the usual.]

[onlymydiabound]

[Last he heard you weren't even Pharaoh yet. But whatever, you're older than he's used to hearing about too. He's not gonna sweat it.

It is interesting, however, that you seem to recognize him. Good.]

Dethroned already! Such a shame. And you think that excuses you from my regard?

Whoever you are now can't erase who you've been! Just like the best of intentions can't negate all your crimes.

[note_atem]

Being young won't erase your future ones, either. Or do you really think justice for your lost village is served when everyone in the world is murdered by your own actions?

[obsessed_gamer]

[Seconds Atem's 'oh no', but he's kind of curious too.]

[onlymydiabound]

[...is that the prince? He doesn't look so tough!]

See something intriguing, boy?

[obsessed_gamer]

[Pfff. Nah, just the kid that ends up kicking your ass in a duel several thousand of years later. Or something.]

[But yes, he does see something intriguing, actually.]

I hadn't expected to see you here, Bakura-kun.

[Or like this. But hey, Yuugi's being polite.]

[onlymydiabound]

[You know his name? He'll skulk over, hands tucked in his belt.]

No~? Is there something you were expecting to see....

And what are you supposed to be, anyway. Not the fabled Prince of renown!

[He snorts, blowing on that little bit of bang that hangs down in the center of your forehead.]

[obsessed_gamer]

Well, I had thought that I was to see you, it'd be the older one.

[The Prince...? Oh, you mean Atem.]

No, I'm not him. I do know you, though. Or I will, in the future.

[Huffs as Bakura makes that bang move.]

[babygotback]

[Meanwhile, Marik over here is more "wtf"]

...woah.

[onlymydiabound]

[That's a lot of gold. Perhaps you're a noble.

A noble who recognizes something about him.]

What? It's a little too early to be impressed...

But I'll take that as a compliment, sir!

[babygotback]

[Nah, they're just cheap trinkets he bought off a flea market. /shot]

Yeah, uh, sure. Let's go with that...Bakura.

[Bro you are small, how to deal with this.]

[onlymydiabound]

[And yet, his ego has about fully grown in.]

Oh~? Even more flattering. Your name seems to have slipped my mind.....

[babygotback]

That's because I'm from the future.

[The very far, flung future, at least.]

So, you don't know me yet, of course.

[broken_wish]

Sometimes it takes a while. But, for others, the waiting never stops.

[onlymydiabound]

Speak for yourself! I don't intend to let things get that far.

[broken_wish]

So, you think you'll succeed even if there might not be a chance?

[onlymydiabound]

Chances are something people make themselves.

If you wait to be handed one, the chance itself passes by.

[broken_wish]

[...she doesn't believe you, man.]

But, what if there isn't anything to make a chance out of? What then?

[whitewizardgirl]

[... ...That looks like the guy that the Spirit used in that one RPG game that decided the fate of the world...

...Only smaller. Here, have a genderbent version of your future host or something like that.]

[onlymydiabound]

[He has no idea what any of that means except "cute girl".

Of little consequence, but ah well!]

Yes, miss? Did you notice something?

[whitewizardgirl]

You... just look kind of familiar to me... [Somehow.]

[In all seriousness] Have... we met somewhere before?

[onlymydiabound]

[He sneers. Meet her? She's dressed like all these other people....]

Given your garb? Seems unlikely!

But perhaps my name hasn't escaped your attention.

They teach you in history about the King of Thieves?

[whitewizardgirl]

[She figures that much. YADONUSHI IS FOREVER ALONE. She does give him a curious look]

Well, there probably are a few thief kings history, can't think of any of the top of my head at the moment.

What's your name? [Maybe that will trigger her memory into remembering him?]
