RP Logs - The Return of Shadow
08/04/2006 - 08/06/2006; The Return of Shadow: As a result of the attempted exorcism of Shadow from OOC!Mokuba's person, Shadow comes back with a vengeance, inhabiting the body of IC!Mahaado. This weekend consisted of various curses being placed on the city (or rather, the world), and these curses were being cast with a certain person in mind. Several people pulled together in an attempt to guess who Shadow's target was, and the curses stopped when the target was found to be Sharik, the Pharaoh's daughter. Eventually, thanks to the help of OOC!Mahaado, Shadow was evicted from IC!Mahaado's body (and is currently who-the-hell-knows-where), but unfortunately, said eviction has left IC!Mahaado in a coma.

GAAAAAH [2] - Freaky Shit starts happening again; namely, Shadow!Mahaado goes on a rampage. Malik and Ryou observe the Freaky Shit (and wibble over Bakura too), then later on in the log, Isis attempts to get through to Mahaado and fails miserably, even with IC!Amane's help.

Soup Kitchen - Water is quite unusable at this point in time, so lots of people gather in one spot to observe the Freaky Shit.

Conflict - Katsuya's friend Tetsuya comes by to see if he's all right, and Mahaado doesn't think too much of him.

More WTF [2] - Isis tries to get through to Mahaado again, and also fails again, even with the help of Mana and other!Mahaado. Second segment in the first link deals with more Malik-Ryou-WTFery.

Curses Are Broken - Honda has solved Mahaado/Shadow's game, and he goes to confront the possessed sorcerer to announce it in person so the curses can be lifted. Of course, that doesn't go smoothly.

The BIG Finale, lolz - ...well, yes. The Return of Shadow miniplot ends with a bang, and a boom, and a crumbling city, and yeah. :D

Random Stuff - Honda comes home emo-y, and talking with Mokuba about various important and unimportant topics cheers him up some.

...raining FROGS. - Mokuba goes over to Noa's to help him make the list of who to invite to Club Kaiba. Of course nothing could go wrong there... Takes place during the raining frogs.

Prescription for Love - Malik and Ryou are itchy. They treat each other's itchies, in a most adorable way. 8D

Wrecked Soul Room - Isis and Yuugi, using the Ankh, pry into Mahaado's soul room, in which there is a phenomenal amount of wreckage. D:

We <3 Katama-- er, Domino Mall! - Honda and Esper randomly meet up at the mall, so Honda goes along for clothes shopping for Esper's brothers. And flirting with Esper, of course.

More Self-Hatred - Espa and Esper finally get around to their date. Sadly, things don't turn out the way they thought it would.

A Short Lesson - And Malik and Ryou are back to finding out how to bring Bakura back. This one involves a short lesson about Osiris, and the judgement of souls.

Crazy Shit Goin' Down - Ryuuzaki makes dinner for Ghost and Espa, hoping they can be friends. Sadly, unwarranted jealousy causes the evening to end with one boy in the hospital, one boy in jail, and one boy accused of being involved in a cult conspiracy.

Visit to Soul Room - Isis goes to see Mahaado by herself this time, and tries to give him a little bit of faith. It doesn't exactly work.

Eyes on the Road - Anzu's sick and Isono offers to take her to the hospital. And he finds out just what kind of dancer she is.

Huh? - Eris brings the brothers to visit Espa in the hospital after Ghost stabs him. Secrets are revealed, and Eris runs off, leaving a very confused stoned brother behind.

... Oddities - Celest attempts to show Honda how much he cares for him.

Here, There, Everywhere [2] - Honda and Espa meet up to talk. Conversation moves from Esper, to love, to shades of truth, to tarot readings that manage to be confusing and omg!accurate at the same time. Plus a serving or two of angsty leanings, cryptic hints about Honda's background, minor mind invasion, and more confusion for Honda's love/sex-life just for good measure.

Not a kid, kthx. - Celest goes to confront Esper about his "relationship" with Honda and then lay the smack down on him. XDD Just kidding.

Getting Things Straight - After talking with Espa about resent events, Honda decides it best to meet up with Esper and straighten some things out. Sexual situations ensue.

Consolation - Takes place right after the post with Eris and Espa at the hospital.

Yay for super good friends! - Takes place the next day after Ryuu has been admitted to the hospital. Esper comes to visit Ryuu in the hospital. The two talk and Ryuu gives him a tour.

Making Cake Again - In the midst of grieving, Ryou remembers that Bakura's "birthday" has passed, and a Formerly Lemon Now Vanilla Pound Cake is brought into existence again.

Old Farts - On his way back to the office, Isono runs into Sugoroku. They walk and talk.

TAKE ME NOW. - Espa propositions Honda again to take his virginity, this time in person, without even bothering with the small chat first. Smut ensues, then confusion, then Honda bolting.

Butterflies - Ryuu and Ghost have some serious talks, and figure out the butterfly situation. Major waffy-ness.

Tentacle monster = PWN'D. - The monster comes after Katsuya in his euphoric state and attempts to devirginize him as if he wasn't corrupted enough.

A Test - Eris goes ahead and proves his loyalty to Noa ^^

Wibblies D: - OOC!Bakura stops by for a visit to pay his condolences for his other selves other half, but instead of having a quick chat like he planned, the two have an interesting discussion regarding repentance and a change of heart.

Liar Liar - Moki calls Mokuba to check up on him and such... plot hinting ensues. VERY SHORT LOG.

Old Friends - After a heartbreaking experience, Atemu gets back in touch with his friend Seto. The two converse casually with the deal of seeing each other again sometime later on.

Mmm, hospital funtime. - Honda stops by to visit Ryuuzaki, who's glad to have another visitor. They talk about a variety of topics, including what it's like in the hospital, friendship and dreams.

Domino Effect - Esper misses Honda and asks to meet him at the mall. Everything is okay until a single slip up sets off a sort of 'domino effect' of emotion and confession.

The strikeout doesn't do this log justice. - After reading Eris' comments on certain journals, basically announcing what happened with Espa and Noa, Noa realizes that he has to punish and brainwash Eris. It degenerates into a torture session, then a brainwashing session that is utter SQUICK, and hardcore... er... acts. An excercise into total depravity. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE EASILY SQUICKED OR OFFENDED. SERIOUSLY. This is a very long log, and it's very obscene. Don't read if you have a weak stomach. Don't read if hardcore acts disturb you. Don't read if you are pregnant or have a heart condition. Have I warned you enough? Good.

Rebuilding teh TEMPLE~ - Several people decide to assist Mahaado in the reconstruction of his soul room.

Stuff to do! - Ryou gets something useful from the Okrah Book Club - a book about stuff to do with boyfriends. :X

Partially Melted - Well... the muns are, anyway... XD Just a little bit of reassurance between fluffsters.

Oh snap. - Honda comes to visit Espa in the hospital again, and the awkward ex-virgin gets to do "that thing that involves being on his knees" for the irrisistible brunette.

Jou's gonna cry ;; - Yuugi visits Mahaado by himself this time. And as much as he tries to ignore his crush on the priest, he can't.

Ghost/Ryuuzaki = otp? [2] [3] [4] - The big log where Ryuuzaki and Ghost go on their date. A lot of stuff happens in this. They start their date off at the carnival, where Ghost proposes. Things don't go exactly as Ghost plan, but things eventually work out. Then it's off to the vegan cafe. The two do a variety of things that they (especially Ryuu) might not do when sober.

Floof - Seriously... running... out of... filenames... *keels over*

TRIMASH [2] - Ryou and Malik play an interesting game o_O

Dirty Mind, Warm Heart - Jou and Yuugi finally get together for the first time in weeks. The expected happens between them under a tree, but Yuugi starts to feel guilty about those eensy feelings he has for Mahaado. Awww.

Alcohol is a Dangerous Thing - Ghost comes over to take Honda up on the offer to talk. Some talking happens... then not much once Ghost convinces Honda to help him forget his troubles for a little while.

It never fails. D: - Just as they start getting back into the whole "outing" spirit again, it comes to an abrupt halt thanks to a teensy eight-legged creature. *headdesk*

Storybook Romance - Katsuya takes a break from training to shop for more shoujo manga and meets Mana at the bookstore. Very short and very cute.

Lol, poor people. - Mokuba goes over to Ryou's house. His mission? To find out how Ryou can survive being so poor. Features a slightly paranoid Mokuba and an angry Ryou. Yes, that's right, Ryou gets angry. I kid you not. Multiple exclamation points and all that jazz. Really!!!!

Along Came a Spider - Haga comes to pick up what put Ryou in the hospital. A wee bit of awkwardness ensues. Malik and Ryou seem to make the oddest friends. XD

OMG a new location! - After meeting up by coincidence, Esper and Honda sit and talk. Conversation covers the present and past, the mundane and important. Beware of sappiness and Honda telling a story.

Helping in Soul Room - Isis goes to help Mahaado again, resulting in some enlightenment and UST.

...squee? - Ryuuzaki visits after a lot of harsh words are exchanged via journal comments, and after reading some comments between Ghost and EmoHaga that he didn't like at all. Serious discussions are had, certain issues are resolved, and Ghost gets to hear three words he waited his whole life to hear...

O hay incest. - Eris visits Espa at the hospital.

O hay smex. - Eris finds Ghost in the hospital and thinks he might be able to give him what he needs.

O hay torture. - Eris goes home to Noa and doesn't get the punishment he thought he would.

Advice, plz. - 2nd conversation that Ghost has with Esper asking for advice about the situation with Haga and Ryuu. Took place immediately after Ghost proposed to Ryuu, and Ghost ends up advising Esper about Honda as well.

Guilt Trippage, I Guess - Esper comes to see Espa right before he gets out of the hospital. Feeling somewhat guilty and interfering in other people's problems as usual, Espa proceeds to tell Esper a bunch of stuff that he shouldn't, trying to be vague, which of course, doesn't work well with Esper.

Cuppycake! - Ryuuzaki decides to stop by Esper-san's new place of work since he missed stopping by the last one. It's super good friendship time!

Bleep Bloop Blip - Mokuba pays a visit to get a tour of Noa's club. They don't get very far. See Noa reveal a not-so-secret secret. See Mokuba fanboy.

A Little Fluff - You know two people love each other when this is all they need to say to be happy.

YOU HIT ME IN THE ANGST. - Eris comes home so he and Espa can talk, mostly to get him to go over to Noa's, who sets up to torture the two, but gets bored and lets them leave. The damage was already done to the relationship between the Robas, however, and Espa runs away to the psych ward so he doesn't have to face what Eris has done, leaving him with thier younger brothers after Eris is questioned by the police.

Love Stinks - Jou is transported over to the mansion to meet up with Kat-chan and Shiz as he hasn't done that in a while. Katsuya reveals some things about his little sister that he isn't supposed to.

Unmasked [2] - With one secret taken care of, Ghost decides to reveal another: what he really looks like. And Ryuuzaki putting Ghost's make-up on for him slowly leads to other things.

That Random Sidewalk Gets Too Much Love - Yuugi and Bakura finally meet. Yuugi gets his chance too confront Bakura about why he's being such an ass. Of course, it doesn't go so well...

La La La - Moki returns home.

Can you say awkward? - Ryuuzaki finally pays a visit to Espa-san. They talk mostly of relationships, and Espa-san suggests an idea on how to get Ghost-san not to cheat anymore.

Single-person logs are funny :D - Jou decides to do something crazy to end his summer vacation (if school's already back in, we'll say it was just for fun instead) and ends up making a biiig mistake. Of water balloons, anger, doors, band-aids and Random Acts of Kindness.

Some Progress - Mahaado's made some progress in the soul room.

Foiled Again [2] - Now that Ryuu has his plan to try and stop Ghost from cheating (thanks to Espa), he decides to set it into motion. Things don't go well, and when Trio-sama pictures are hurt, Ryuu gets pissed. There's angry, somewhat violent Ryuuzaki, confused and loving the violence Ghost, and fangirling Ama.

How To Be a Best Friend - Ryuuzaki finally goes over to Honda's house to talk to him about being a better friend.

NEW MOTORBIKE OMG - Ryou, using a series of cute little notes, presents Malik with a gift. >D

Into the mind again. - Mana goes to visit Mahaado after reading Honda's post. She helps him gain some of his magical energy back, and also helps to put together a certain disc.

Bakura Birthday Bash - The Bakurae's party starts off pretty well, but things go sour due to... *gasp* BAD CREAM PUFFS. OMG. *flail*

Esper wears PANTS OMG - Esper shows up and gets Honda to explain his recent behavior once his brain decides to remember how to put together sentences. Then some fluff, interrupted by serious talking about both their pasts, and back to fluff until Honda gets called away to work.

Maybe some good news? - Isis learns that Mahaado's external condition has changed slightly (and by 'external', I mean something the doctors can detect), but it could be bad news... or it could be good news.

*emo tear* - Haga visits Espa in the hospital, because, frankly, there's too much drama in the minor end of the dueling pool not to be dealt with. Espa starts off pissed, but warms up to the emo boy when he fully understands what's going down. Angst, angst and more angst, so now that I've got your attention: no, your eyes don't decieve you. This **is** an EMO!Haga RP log.

Cheers - Mokuba finally makes it over to Honda's to drop of the drink he promised, and ends up interviewing Honda about being poor on the way. Things go from fairly well to down right not so great.

Ink - Pegasus and Atem - and Bun-Bun! - meet on the street... and then, because everything is naturally about Kaiba, this follows suit and much disussion of character and romance follows.

Girly mannnnn~ - Kat-chan goes to Keithy's bakery to make a present for Mado-chan.

I'll make a man out of-- oh wait, I already did that joke. - Shiz gives her late present to Ryou. And it's very short and very insulting.

SETH RETURNS - While walking to think over his troubles, Atemu stumbles upon the AWOL Priest Seth. Taking him home, the pop star finds out Seth has no recollection of his time in the present world, or in the past. Much explanation, semi-angst, and sexual tension ensues.

Chained - Ryou is released from the hospital, only to discover that Malik is missing...

Music in Your Heart - Honda comes over to see Kat-chan, who still can't speak at the moment. Perhaps there's a reason to continue his training after all...

Missing You - Honda stops by for another visit to Mahaado to check on his progress (and mun decides to post about it because it's that interesting). He talks to Dr. Malouf about Mahaado's progress before heading into his mind to see from that side.

Have faith, kthx. - Disappeared!Malik = sad!Ryou. It also = sad!Isis, yet she tries to console Ryou, and makes sure he has faith in his boyfriend.

Cherish~ - Katsuya goes on his first date with Mahaado since his return. They take a tour around town to jog Mahaado's memory, and to rekindle the flame between each other.

Second Disc - Isis finds that Mahaado had... quite an irritating visitor before her, that made the use of green paint. After getting him back into his hospital room, and likewise, his soul room, UST occurs the second crystal disc is constructed.

Stupid ugly meanie! - Katsuya is studying at the library, and has to face a drunken Ghost's foul temper for virtually no reason.

It's Been a While - Kisara, in hospital with Maru, decides to go pay Mahaado a visit.

More good news yay! - Isis gets a call from the hospital, telling her that Mahaado's condition is starting to improve. Very short.

Mahaado Squared - Mado-chan, having realized he hasn't seen his other self since the Mind Crush and wanting to try and calm down, ventures out to visit Mahaado.

Be careful about what you wish for... - With Malik as their captive, the Ghouls attempt to pry some much-needed information out of him - attempt being the key word. Malik refuses, and is forced to suffer the consequences.

Ewwwwww. - Seth comes over to visit with Mokuba. Is it a surprise that there's drinking going on? And is it more of a surprise that Seth learns that other people were right and Mokuba's a brat? Of course none of this matters when Pegasus drops by and does something awful and unexpected...

Yep, just an average conversation! - Just your average conversation between little pharaoh and comatose priest. Involves talk of current events, visitors, and certain spoiled brats who like to dump green paint on people...

KURI! - Takes place the night before Mokuba's kidnapping. Mokuba has the pictures of green!Mahaado all blown up and decides to hang them all over the apartment so Mahaado will get a treat when he gets home. Of course this means snooping as well, and meeting Mahaado's little pet, Azizi...

Not-so-Fun House - With his newfound badass Ring-using powers, Ryou heads off in search of Malik again. It leads him to an old, abandoned carnival, and likewise, his next task - one fucked-up fun house. Now, Ryou must put his mind and body to the test as he races against the clock to save his beloved Malik.

Bunny Slaughter - Pegasus picks the wrong day to search for bunnies in the park, running across an intoxicated and angry Ghost, and being fooled into thinking he's an innocent child. Bun-Bun pays the price for Pegasus' mistake, and becomes the first victim of Ghost's rampage against the hateful world.

That's Gotta Hurt - The end of a marriage.

Everything I Know About Love, I Learned From Yaoi Manga - Katsuya is still frightened by Ghost's threats to his life. Mado-chan comes to console him, and do some dirty things like reading Shiz's manga, and take things a little further in their relationship...

Ow - Pegasus decides to visit his victim for a bit of torture fun.

Malik returns~! - The Ghouls give Ryou his final challenge, and this time, the Malik he rescues is the real one.

Interesting Things - Mado-chan visits his other self again, and something rather interesting happens.

Mahaado Wakes Up - ...pretty self-explanitory.

I can't think of a witty title for this one. :| - Occurs before OOC!Haga moves out. Honda shows up at Esper's house for the Roba brother interrogation, which they gladly give. Afterwards talking leads to uncovering secrets and the upcoming holidays.

I Saw This Coming - ...Well, it should be fairly obvious. But Pegs gets a nice pretty new pet.

OH THE PAIN - After Malik wakes up, the gravity of his situation hits, and thankfully, Ryou's there to console him.

Honda's Mind is Not a Happy Place - Espa comes to Honda to talk about recent issues and try to get a gun. Attempts to persuade him include the use of psychic abilities... a plan which backfires. Things get weird for a bit, but not half as weird as they could; surprisingly there's more psychological damage than physical by the time they calm down enough to break the mirror effect and talk like semi-normal people again.

Yayness for the awake magician! - Honda goes to Mahaado's apartment to get a robe and headscarf for him, and does some cleaning. Then goes to the hospital to give the clothing to Mahaado and talk.

o hay u woke up 8) - Yuugi visits the finally awake priest and insists on being his little servant boy.

Probing Around in the Mind [2] - As promised, Espa takes Ryuuzaki out to dinner so the boy can have a decent meal. Conversation turns to recent events, and Espa decides to take a look in Ryuuzaki's mind. He's surprised about what he finds.

He's not a psycho, rly! - As a precaution after coming out of the coma, Dr. Malouf ordered a psychological evaluation, to determine if any specific neurological problems needed to be addressed. Let's just say, that by the end of the interview, SOMETHING needed to be addressed.

404 - Courage Not Found - *SHOT SO BAD FOR THE FILENAME* It's time for the bandages on Malik's back to be changed. Unfortunately, the idea of anything coming near his back is just plain terrifying.

Eyeeeeeeee - On his visit to Domino, Pegasus decides to visit Bakura to question him more about the Millennium Eye~

These One-sided Logs Are Getting Popular - After reading the comments in emoHaga's journal, Ghost asks Espa to brainwash him. Turns out that Espa can't give Ghost what he wants after learning what's really going on inside his head, and so is left wondering if he did the right thing messing with Ryuuzaki's mind.

Burning Bridges Left and Right - Espa goes to apologize to Esper for comments left unscreened in emoHaga's journal. A discussion of other events, including Ryuu's brainwashing, attempts to get a gun from Honda, and other plans comes up, quickly dissolving into name-calling and arguing. Someone's slapped, someone's kicked out, and more threats are made. Short RP log, though.

NO MORE BUNNIES, PLEASE - Mokuba gets rescued by Noa from the evil, crazy clutches of that Funny Bunny loving Pegasus.

AJKajksa NOT AGAIN - Pegasus goes to visit Mokuba after reading about what happened in his LJ. Lots of talkage!

That Was Really Damn Weird - While in the hospital, Malik gets an interesting visitor, and has a somewhat enlightening experience.

I Love You, I Hate You [2] - Eris confronts Espa about what he's been doing behind his back, and whether he really loves him. Espa's real motives for interfering are revealed, and Eris tries to keep him from interfering with other people's lives, with not-so good results.

Better Treatment - Malik is released from the hospital, only to come home to his own private clinic, complete with a much gentler doctor.

You Want to Bleed? - After leaving Espa, Eris returns to Ghost's house, in an absolute rage, and takes his anger out on Ghost, eventually leaving Ghost for dead and fleeing.

In My Dreams - Atemu goes and saves Seth from the evil clutches of Pegasus in a dog costume. XD Much sexual tension awkwardness ensues. Also, this log is like, 17 pages LONG. LONG LOG. Also, some of it was lost during the course of it. It's clearly labeled if you bother to read it XD

The Friendship Book - Ryuuzaki comes to visit Ghost in the hospital, hoping to make a new friend, and doesn't believe Ghost when he tells him they used to be more than friends. Some embarassing comments are made, and Ryuuzaki tells Ghost to be nicer so he'll have friends.

New-Found Viciousness - After beating up Espa, and to the best of his knowledge, killing Ghost, Eris seeks refuge with Noa, having nowhere else to turn. Noa gives him an assignment before he'll take him back. Very short log.

Oh goodie, relationship advice. - Ghost goes to Esper, yet again, to ask for relationship advice. Esper's had it up to here advising him about Ryuuzaki and Haga.

Persuasion - Eris shows up to fufill Noa's 'request' to get Honda. After taking a bit of time to annoy Eris, Honda is willing to go talk to Noa... maybe a little too willing.
