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!

[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.]

[obsessed_gamer]

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

[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.]

[babygotback]

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

...woah.

[broken_wish]

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

[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?

[onlymydiabound]

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

See something intriguing, boy?

[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!

[onlymydiabound]

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

[onlymydiabound]

[He affects surprise - or rather, he hides actual shock with affected surprise.]

I manage all that? My current ambitions aren't nearly so bold....

But I like it. Thanks for the update!

[He is totally not done having a justice-related debunk-off. But you're baiting him. He can't have that.]

[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.....

[note_atem]

Innocent lives would slake your thirst for blood against a crown that didn't even cause the murder of your village?! [Bakura you just piss him off so much. To think you're not even redeemable at a young age is somehow disheartening. God damn it Yuugi your influence causes some painful emotions sometimes.]

[broken_wish]

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

[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.

[onlymydiabound]

[Didn't even --

Oh, not only do you claim righteousness, you deny it even happened?! He's not seeing any other way to take that, atm.]

Don't give me that! On whose orders did those soldiers march?! Whose glory - whose order - did they serve?

Defend the innocents when there's no blood on your hands! You're still the one who gets to label me murderer. Maybe I'm the executioner punishing the kingdom, eh?!

And you're the king who let them die.

[onlymydiabound]

Of course.

....How far?

[People know about him in the future.

This bodes so, so well. He wonders what spin history's put on the tale...]

[note_atem]

Tell me this, Bakura, if I had just come onto the Throne by the time you were dragging my father's sarcophagus through the city, how was it by my hands they died? [Digging up painful old wounds here.]

[onlymydiabound]

Chances are something people make themselves.

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

[onlymydiabound]

[He does what? *_* Future him is so cool, he doesn't even.]

It wasn't! Goodness, Mister King, look beyond yourself!

This isn't about what you may or may not have done. You represent all of Egypt, correct? You represent law, and order, and right!

So if I want to topple all those - you have to die. Collateral damage!

A fitting end.

[babygotback]

Far enough to know you've done some "great" things.

[Side-stepping this because he can't say too much, really.]

[note_atem]

All of this insanity and the need for blood will see your end; twice you will fail. [Though the first time they kind of both failed but he will count that as victory because you are really pissing him off.] And both times will be as just and as deserving for someone so twisted as you.

[onlymydiabound]

Keh. And yet you don't quake in fear.

I must not have done enough.

[That, or succeeded? Somehow? He is hazy on the details of what he wants to happen after law and order is upset across the land. One step at a time, okay. :/]
