Have they kissed yet?

What, they haven't? Aw, man...

[Oh, but of course. What are villainous bros for?]

Don't sound so pleased with yourself. Unless you would rather I find ways to get under your skin.

[Like with a knife or something. Knives work well.]

[He will pass on the knives, thank you very much, he's had more than enough of that.]

And miss your chance to learn what you can't anywhere else? What a waste that'd be.

Besides, we're back to my original point. Cooperation only helps our chances. I'm not about to jeopardize that.

[worstdmever]

A wise choice, partner.

[best_laid_plans]

Heh. [He makes nothing but. Didn't you know?]

Where are you in the timeline, then? Made any progress on that front?

[worstdmever]

Considerably further than you. [It sounds almost like teasing, but he really means "Around the end of the Millennium World Arc."] There have been... setbacks. Unfortunately.

[best_laid_plans]

[Frown. That means only one thing to him, given recent losses in certain harbors.]

The vessel?

[worstdmever]

You'll have to be more specific.

[Because Bakura's got a vessel as well, albiet a much smaller, whinier one with shaggy white hair.]

[best_laid_plans]

[A snort. As if yours can do anything. Though that'd been his opinion of Yuugi, too.]

Mutou Yuugi. He's proven - irritating.

Why, are you having host troubles too?

[worstdmever]

Please. [An indignant snort?] When has mine ever given me trouble?

But your hunch was correct. The boy has proven to be quite the obstacle indeed.

[best_laid_plans]

[He allows himself a moment of smugness. So it wasn't just him.]

And? How are you handling this little complication?

I have my own ideas in mind. But you're the one with experience, so please. Do tell.
