[Bad idea is a bad idea]

[littlekcvp]

If you know that why would you bother? It's like poking a hornet's nest. [SIGH. Cue 'everyone is dumb except me'.] I can't stay too long, I have school and Vice Presidential duties, you know. [As if Mokuba really has a say.]

...at the very least I need to take my medicine. Can you manage that, idiot?

Comments

[heartofaduelist]

[Yuugi thinks she at least can manage that.]

[Maybe.]

All right. Where is it usually kept?

[littlekcvp]

Huh? [What now?] Oh, hi, Yuugi. ...I wasn't talking to you.

[heartofaduelist]

Who were you talking to, then?

And what's this about taking medicine? [She didn't know Mokuba was sick]

[littlekcvp]

This stupid woman. [Motion to nowhere. Probably the fourthwall just over yonder.]

Nothing. [Said quickly and uncomfortably.] It's not important. [Mokuba is already a huge liability to her brother. People aren't supposed to know she's sick on top of it.] -is the other Yuugi here, too? [ABRUPT SUBJECT CHANGE]

[heartofaduelist]

[Oh, that fourth wall over yonder. There seems to be a huge crack in it for some reason, though. It makes Yuugi concerned.]

He's... around here somewhere. If he's not beside me, he's usually inside the Puzzle.

Did you need him for something?

[littlekcvp]

No I was just wondering if you guys were a packaged deal or not. [Since usually you are but who knows here.] Seems pretty mean if anyone were to split you up.

[heartofaduelist]

[...You do know that we do split up at the end of the series, though, right? It's quite sad and tear-inducing.]

Most of the time, it's just me. But it's... sort of a packaged deal, I think?

[littlekcvp]

[Nah she don't know shit she's not from that time.]

You don't know? [Smarmy little kid grin.]

[heartofaduelist]

[Well, your brother did try to choke her after she had said no to having the final duel with him, so it's probably a good thing you don't know that tiny little detail.]

I'm not really sure what to call it. My mun has played him before, but that was a long, long time ago. Like, almost ten years ago long. She played Ryou and his spirit for a time too, but Ryou and I seem to be the ones that stayed around the longest.

So, kind of a packaged deal, but Other Me is just... buried deep, deep... deep in there.

[littlekcvp]

Bakura, huh? [How to feel about this.] Well, at least you're not alone, right?

[heartofaduelist]

It's the good Bakura that stuck around. [And thank goodness for that.]

Not really, no. And some of the other muses are nice, too. [Only some of them, Yuugi?]

[littlekcvp]

...you haven't seen nii-sama around, have you? [Obvious question is obvious.]

[heartofaduelist]

...Afraid not. [Not a muse in this head, sorry.]

Is everything all right?

[littlekcvp]

Yeah, I'm fine. [She grins again.] No one could get their hands on him, probably. [Because nii-sama is too powerful!!1!]

[heartofaduelist]

[...Yeah, about that.]

Probably? [More like never. If he hadn't broken a bone or two if they managed to.]

That probably sounds worrying. [Small tease.]

[littlekcvp]

It's either that or that no one can put up with him. [Heheh.]

[heartofaduelist]

Kaiba-kun does seem to not get along well with others... to put it lightly. [And yet Yuugi still tries for some reason.]

[littlekcvp]

I think you guys know that best by now. [Another small laugh.]

[heartofaduelist]

[They just keep running into each other. It's really weird.]

Doubtful that aspect of him will ever change.

[littlekcvp]

It's just the way he is. [She shrugs with a smile.]

[shutupandduelme]

...Mokuba?

[Medicine? What medicine? This isn't his Mokuba, that's for sure, but a Mokuba needing medicine is unacceptable.]

[littlekcvp]

-! [This is more shock that you're actually here, but then she smiles and just sort of attaches herself to your leg.]

I didn't think you'd be here, nii-sama. [But clearly super glad that you are.]

[shutupandduelme]

[His hand immediately comes down, but that's more to shield than it is to encourage the hug.]

You're here. [So he's got to be. Duh.]

[littlekcvp]

[She eases up anyway after a few seconds, standing away.]

It's not like you followed me here. [....] Right? [Because that would be pretty dumb. But regardless smiles right up at him.]

[shutupandduelme]

[Hmph.]

That woman has terrible judgement. If there is something that needs to be done, I'm not going to depend on her to do it.

[littlekcvp]

Are you talking about your idiot or mine? [To which Mokuba can't help snickering.] ...I'm still kinda happy to see you. [Only kinda because Seto doesn't belong here but knowing he's here makes Mokuba feel better of course.]

[shutupandduelme]

[Smirk.]

I suppose it could apply to both. Regardless, I'm not going to leave you to deal with these fools alone.

[littlekcvp]

Even a place like this can't pull us apart! [Super hype. You know how Mokubas do.] But I have to wonder about all the work we're missing. [Work waaaaay more important than school. Clearly.]

[shutupandduelme]

That's not something you should be worrying about. [Mokuba gets a brief nudge.]

You have schoolwork.

[littlekcvp]

I can't just slack off on my duties as Vice President! [There's a small whine in there for sure.] That's way more important than school. [Ugh school.]

[shutupandduelme]

[Sigh.]

Your job is school, right now. We've discussed this. [Well, he had with his Mokuba, anyway.]

[littlekcvp]

Nii-sama... [Definitely a whine.] Can't I just study at home? [And by home Mokuba of course means the corporation or wherever Seto is at any given time. This is accompanied with one of those pouts and an anxious shift from one foot to the other.]

[shutupandduelme]

[Serious face is serious.]

It's not up for debate.

[littlekcvp]

[Super serious frowning is happening.]

...well.. until we actually get back there, it's not something I have to worry about. [Which is good. Some school kids can be mean.]
