Omega19x: *Ryou walks into Malik's room, having come home from work, and not wanting to disturb a sleeping yami*
Omega19x: *he sees Malik with Isis' millennium tauk.*
Omega19x: "... Malik... that... that thing is dangerous..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Uh huh."
Omega19x: "... then... then why are you... you touching it? What if it turns us into children again?"
ph33r my rod: "... Isis had this theory that different people might be able to make it do different things, so she wants me to try using it. I've been sitting here just staring at it for the last hour because I'm scared of what it might do if I try to use it."
Omega19x: "... what is it... supposed to do?"
ph33r my rod: "Um. It's supposed to show visions of the past or future."
Omega19x: "... make you... see things... not live them..."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: *sits down, cautiously*
Omega19x: "... things you want to see? Or... does it choose?"
ph33r my rod: "Uh... I think it's supposed to show what you want to see, but as of lately, I dunno... Isis said she was able to show Seto a vision from the past with it, so..."
Omega19x: "...hm..."
Omega19x: "... maybe you actually have to put it on... like a necklace?"
ph33r my rod: "...maybe." *puts it on*
Omega19x: *helps Malik tie it in the back*
Omega19x: "..." *suddenly sees something flash before his eyes... "Did... did you see something?"
ph33r my rod: *blink blink* "Uh huh."
Omega19x: "..." *gulp*
Omega19x: *white haze clears to reveal... Bingo Retirement Home?!*
Omega19x: "..."
ph33r my rod: "...what."
Omega19x: *looking around, it is as if they are there, but they are not physically there.*
Omega19x: "...I'd say that looks like Yugi's grandfather playing batgammon... but... it... doesn't quite look like him..."
Omega19x: "... he never has his hair pointing straight up..."
ph33r my rod: *BLINK* "I... think... that's... Yuugi."
Omega19x: *BLINK*
Omega19x: "...no way..."
Omega19x: *he's still short*
ph33r my rod: "It's got to be showing us a vision of the uh... very distant future or something..."
Omega19x: "... well... as long as we're here... we... should... look around... I guess... I... I wonder if everyone is here!"
Omega19x: *still looking at Yugi, who seems to be winning. Some things might never change*
ph33r my rod: "..." *nods, is rather disturbed*
Omega19x: "... He looks a lot like his grandfather..."
ph33r my rod: "...quite."
Omega19x: (let's take turns describing the people we see!)
ph33r my rod: (( Hokay. 8D ))
ph33r my rod: (( ...what about the people that are uh... spirits? XD Like Yami, and Bakura, and stuff... ))
Omega19x: (I don't know.)
Omega19x: (would they age like everyone else? or if they die, do they just go back to their items?)
ph33r my rod: (( I would think that they'd take on the appearance of their respective partners. Like, if Yuugi ages, then Yami does too, or something. ))
Omega19x: *walks around to where Yugi is playing. He still has the millennium puzzle. But it's sitting on the table, not hanging around his neck.*
Omega19x: "... I... I guess his yami is... somewhere else?"
Omega19x: "... or... or in the puzzle?"
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "...maybe."
Omega19x: "... For all we know... yamis might not even age..."
ph33r my rod: "That would make sense, seeing as they're... kinda spirits."
Omega19x: "... do you... recognize anyone else in the room?"
ph33r my rod: *looks around the room* "..." *BLINK BLINK*
ph33r my rod: "...hee." *holds in giggles*
Omega19x: "... what... where?"
ph33r my rod: "Over there." *points* "I think that's Mokuba."
Omega19x: "... WHERE?"
Omega19x: (start describing... rofl)
ph33r my rod: *elderly!Mokuba is sitting in a corner, flipping through fashion magazines. His hair is still black, though obviously dyed - you can see white roots. He's muttering to himself, about how he wished he still looked that good.*
Omega19x: "... He's... still short too..."
ph33r my rod: *snickering to self* "Man, I can't wait to tell him what he'll be like when he's older."
Omega19x: "... He's put on weight too... He looks... so different..."
Omega19x: "... but he still sounds completely self absorbed..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Some things never change..." *watches as he starts yammering on to a random old guy sitting next to him about his old fashion line, MmmK. The other guy looks asleep.*
Omega19x: "... mmK is still around?"
Omega19x: "... well... I guess so... I... I wonder if Seto is still alive..."
ph33r my rod: "Probably." *looks around the room for signs of anyone else they might know*
Omega19x: (now how old are we putting people... mid to late 70's?)
Omega19x: (or older?)
ph33r my rod: (( Yeah, somewhere around there. ))
Omega19x: *attention is caught by a woman at the other end of the hallway, in what appears to be a little chapel. She's standing at the front, ranting about God and repentance*
Omega19x: *there are a couple of people in wheelchairs watching, most are asleep.*
ph33r my rod: *blink* "Is that... Anzu?"
Omega19x: *looks her over, her hair is white, tucked in a bun. Her gestures still flamboyant, the word friendship catches his ear* "... it has to be."
ph33r my rod: "..." *facepalm* "Yeah, she didn't change at all."
Omega19x: *she rambles something about being reborn after her beloved was taken away by God and sent to hell with all the other fags*
Omega19x: *blink* "... Yugi's yami?"
ph33r my rod: *blink blink*
Omega19x: "Does that mean... he's dead? Or only one of them?"
Omega19x: "Which one of Yugi's yamis did... did she like?"
ph33r my rod: "...I dunno." *headscratch* "Atemu wasn't really around for her to... stalk, so she much be talking about Yami..." *looks a bit sad*
Omega19x: "... maybe... she means... when he finally um... told her... off?"
ph33r my rod: *shrug* "Entirely possible... or maybe he just went back into the Puzzle or something."
Omega19x: "... I... I hope he's not... you know..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *nods*
Omega19x: *starts wondering whether that was Yugi or the other Yugi they saw playing batgammon*
Omega19x: "... I'm... I'm sure he's not... d..dead... Malik..."
ph33r my rod: *small smile* "I don't think he could ever really die, y'know. I mean... he's kinda been dead for a few millenia already."
Omega19x: *weak nod*
Omega19x: "... Maybe... we should look to see... if there's anybody else..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "... Y'know, I wonder if we're here."
Omega19x: "... I... I don't know..."
ph33r my rod: *curious as to how he might look*
Omega19x: "... let's start... wandering around... before the tauk decides we've seen enough..."
ph33r my rod: "Kay."
Omega19x: (it's your turn to pick somebody anyway)
ph33r my rod: *As they start walking, they pass a doorway leading out into a small balcony. Two women are standing out on it; they would look exactly the same if it weren't for the obvious... modifications one has made to herself. That one is blathering on and on about the days of her youth - with lots of "like"s added in - while the other looks thoroughly annoyed.*
ph33r my rod: *blink* "... It's Isis and her other self..."
Omega19x: *blink*
Omega19x: "... your sister's other self... has had plastic surgery..."
ph33r my rod: *eye twitch* "... And she still wears those... clothes. Ick."
Omega19x: "... quite... icky... actually..."
ph33r my rod: "... Uh huh."
Omega19x: "... Your sister has aged well... she must be... eighty or so?"
ph33r my rod: "Other me?"
"Like, yeah?"
"Shut up. Please. You're giving me a headache."
"Kay."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "I'm surprised she's managed to put up with her other self this long."
Omega19x: "... I know..."
Omega19x: *the other Isis turns, and walks (with a walker) right through Ryou, proving that in this world, they really do not exist*
ph33r my rod: *blinks*
ph33r my rod: "...well, that was weird."
Omega19x: "... so is... is seeing your sister... in her eighties..."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: *turns, as he sees another version of older Yugi wheeling by in a wheelchair, quickly. Behind him is a disgruntled... Honda?, wheeling after him. He's shouting something translating to 'gimmie back my teeth dagnabbit!'
Omega19x: *
ph33r my rod: "..." *snerk*
Omega19x: "... no... that... was definitely weirder..."
ph33r my rod: *thoroughly amused*
Omega19x: "... Honda looks so strange with wrinkles and a beard... and... and those glasses..."
ph33r my rod: "Uh huh. And his hair... heh."
Omega19x: "... I think the spike out front... was all he has left..."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, that looked really weird."
Omega19x: "... but the other Yugi... is still... um... cracky?"
ph33r my rod: "He actually stole Honda's teeth, ew. Though that does sound like something he would do..."
Omega19x: "... must be false ones..."
Omega19x: (there's a captain obvious statement if I ever heard one)
ph33r my rod: (( XD ))
ph33r my rod: *nods*
ph33r my rod: *continues walking, peeks into an activity room with TV/books/etc. There are a few people in there, one in particular is ranting to a group of teenagers about "old-time video games like the X-box and the Playstation 2"; he has long white hair with only the faintest tint of pink.*
ph33r my rod: "...must be the other Siegfried."
Omega19x: "... other Siegfried! ... the one who liked my cake..."
Omega19x: "... look, the teens are with... with another man... Maroon hair? Is it... Leon? Maybe they're his children!"
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "...'s gotta be."
Omega19x: "... wow... four? He... he has quite a family... unless some of them are his children's friends or something..."
Omega19x: "... but it's nice of him to take them to see... um... Uncle Ziggy? Is that what they just called him?!"
ph33r my rod: *snerk* "...I think so."
Omega19x: *hears arguing coming from another room, and starts down the hallway to investigate*
ph33r my rod: *blinks and follows*
Omega19x: *peers through an open door to see what looks like another Siegfried, in a wheelchair, sitting in front of an old balding man in another wheelchair. The other man is sitting in a robe labeled KC.*
Omega19x: "... they
Omega19x: 're really going at it."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Even in the far-off future, they still hate each other. Interesting."
Omega19x: "... one would have hoped they... would have... made up..."
Omega19x: "... Seto seems to have aged rather well... compared to his brother..."
ph33r my rod: "Maybe Mokuba looks so old because of all of the sex and pills and underage drinking he did..."
Omega19x: "...Mokuba would... only be in his sixties... right? He looks older than Seto."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "... scary... I... I wonder what... what we're like... I haven't seen you or me yet... or... my yami even..."
Omega19x: "... if... if he's not in the ring... I guess..."
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "... I wonder if other me is here."
Omega19x: "... let's try to find him..."
ph33r my rod: *nods, is rather curious*
ph33r my rod: *After a little more walking, they end up in a hallway with doors leading to rooms belonging to particular people. A few doors are open. Inside one is someone with white-blonde hair; they're holding a picture frame and muttering something about "stupid Diabound"...*
ph33r my rod: "... It's other me."
Omega19x: "... it has to be!"
Omega19x: "... I... I wonder what happened to Diabound... Did he go back to his own time eventually?"
Omega19x: (ack, Ryou never calls him that... put Thief King in there.)
ph33r my rod: (( XD ))
Omega19x: (bops mun upside head. stupid mun, get your tongue out of that filled spot on your tooth and get with it)
ph33r my rod: "... I dunno. It's possible... the way he's talking though, it sounds like he's nearby, but other me can't see him. Heh, they're probably still fighting every other week, even after all of these years..."
Omega19x: "... it's hard to... to imagine an old... king of thieves..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...his hair would still be white, if he even still has it."
Omega19x: *thinks of his own hair* "... I guess so..." *giggles*
Omega19x: (hmm... thief king would be in his 80's... he's older, right?)
ph33r my rod: (( Not by much, I don't think. Maybe only a few years at most, completely disregarding that there's a few millenia tacked onto it. :D ))
Omega19x: (okay. I don't really know his age in comparrison to others.)
ph33r my rod: (( *doesn't either* ))
Omega19x: *peeks in another room to see a nurse trying to help feed a disgruntled old man with wildly tangled white hair. The man is cursing at her, and being quite resistant*
Omega19x: "... I think that's the Thief King..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *snickersnort*
Omega19x: "... He... he can't do that himself?"
ph33r my rod: "Guess not... As some people get older, they lose the ability to take care of themselves. I think..."
Omega19x: "... but... that's the king of thieves... master of... of dexterity..."
Omega19x: *thinks that if his yami learns this, the thief king will never hear the end of it*
ph33r my rod: *snerk* "Maybe other me wore him down?"
Omega19x: "... I ... I guess so..."
Omega19x: *the king of thieves sits in his bed, still resisting*
ph33r my rod: *smirks and goes to peek into another door, which is open just barely. There's an old man sitting inside with about ten cats, he has rather thin blonde hair and is... talking... to the cats.* "... Is that... Jounouchi?" *blinks*
Omega19x: "... Jou? Where?"
Omega19x: *follows Malik*
ph33r my rod: *moves so Ryou can see inside*
Omega19x: "...oh! I read about those programs where they bring pets to visit elderly people... I... I guess they still do that."
ph33r my rod: *giggles as Jou starts telling the cats how cute they are*
Omega19x: "... that is cute..."
Omega19x: "... but... we still haven't found... us..."
ph33r my rod: "We've gotta be around here somewhere..."
Omega19x: (ignores message)
ph33r my rod: (( O.o ))
Omega19x: "... I... I hope we're... here... and... and well..."
Omega19x: *wonders if he's even alive at this age.*
ph33r my rod: "..." *nods*
Omega19x direct connection is closed.
Omega19x: (oh wait, it's my turn, isn't it.)
ph33r my rod: (( Uh huh. ))
Omega19x: (lol)
Omega19x: *turns around, to see a man being wheeled by. His face is tattooed, and he has long white hair tied back into a ponytail.* "... Malik... it's... your older brother..."
ph33r my rod: *blink* "Rishid..."
Omega19x: *he's asleep, being wheeled along by a young male nurse*
ph33r my rod: "...so even he's here."
Omega19x: "... well... if your sister... um... sisters... were... I don't see why he wouldn't be..."
ph33r my rod: "... True." *keeps walking down the hallway*
Omega19x: *follows*
ph33r my rod: *looks in another room, there's a tall balding man holding a gold-tipped cane standing by a window* "... Seth?" *blinks*
Omega19x: "... maybe... He... he kind of looks like Seto..."
Omega19x: *sees a TV on in the room, and it is tuned to old reruns of Martha Stewart Living. It has to be Seth*
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...heh. Looks like he had a cane made to look like the Millennium Rod..."
Omega19x: "... he did..."
Omega19x: "... I... I still haven't seen either of us..."
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "... I hope we're still alive." *blinks*
Omega19x: "... knowing me... Is this retirement home attatched to a hospital?" *rolling eyes, and sighing a bit.*
ph33r my rod: "... There's probably a medical wing attached to it, yeah."
Omega19x: "... If I'm anywhere... I'm probably there..."
ph33r my rod: "... And if you're there, I'm probably there too. Let's go see?"
Omega19x: "... all right..." *a bit nervous, wondering what he'd find*
Omega19x: *walking towards the medical wing, when he hears the words, 'Very Good Mr. Bakura." coming from another room somewhere*
Omega19x: *which leads to a quick change in direction*
ph33r my rod: *blink blink*
Omega19x: *there's a yoga workout going on. Most 'students' are in wheelchairs, but a few are actually on mats. The instructor is helping the elderly patients do simple poses*
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
ph33r my rod: (( back ))
Omega19x: *An older version of Ryou is sitting in the middle of the floor, on a mat, in a strange complicated stretch. He looks similar to how he is now... tall, thin, and still with a full head of white hair.*
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "...looks like you're still alive and kicking.:
ph33r my rod: *"
Omega19x: "... literally... almost..."
Omega19x: "... I... I guess I... I'd better not stop the yoga classes anytime soon..."
ph33r my rod: "They must be doing some good."
Omega19x: *hears himself say that yoga makes him feel not a day over 40...*
Omega19x: "... I never thought I'd... I'd be hearing myself... um... sort of... say something like that..."
ph33r my rod: *chuckles*
Omega19x: (and people are sitting down for dinner... so I have to go.
Omega19x: bbs)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. ))
Omega19x is away at 6:36:27 PM.
Omega19x returned at 6:54:21 PM.
Omega19x: (back)
ph33r my rod: (( WB~ ))
Omega19x: "... wow... that's... me? I... I'm healthier than the thief king!"
ph33r my rod: *blink* "That's... kinda surprising. Not complaining, though."
Omega19x: "... I... I guess things do get better... for me... after all..." *smile*
Omega19x: "...at least... 60 years from now... anyway..."
ph33r my rod: *grin* "That's good to know."
Omega19x: "... it... it means I live that long..."
Omega19x: "... at least..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...rather relieving, actually."
Omega19x: "... I figured my... my body would have given out... a... a long time um... previous to this..."
Omega19x: "... You'd... never know that I... I almost died... or... kind of did die... several times... when I was younger... if you saw me like this..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "... And this means that you won't go doing it again anytime soon, hopefully."
Omega19x: "... hopefully..."
Omega19x: "... but... where are you?"
ph33r my rod: *shrugs* "... Who knows."
Omega19x: "look around... you're probably here somewhere..."
ph33r my rod: *looks around*
ph33r my rod: *finally spots an older version of himself standing against the wall, watching the older Ryou* "...hey, there I am."
Omega19x: *looks over*
Omega19x: (describe yourself!)
ph33r my rod: *looks much older, of course, but still in pretty good health, as he doesn't have a wheelchair or walker or anything. Is just standing there, watching the older Ryou, still keeping an eye on him even after all of these years.*
Omega19x: *aww*
Omega19x: (art bunny!!)
ph33r my rod: (( XD Yes! ))
Omega19x: *the yoga class is ending, so it seems, and older Ryou is feeling for a cane near his mat.*
Omega19x: "... I guess that cane... is mine..."
Omega19x: "... strange... I can do advanced yoga poses... but I need a cane..."
ph33r my rod: "...huh." *blinks* "That's kinda weird, but... it could be worse."
Omega19x: *watches, and it's suddenly clear.* "... Malik... I'm... I think I'm blind... watch..."
ph33r my rod: *blinks*
Omega19x: *sure enough, older Ryou is feeling along the ground with the cane, back to the end of the room where Malik is waiting*
Omega19x: "... I... I wonder when THAT happens..."
ph33r my rod: "... I hope it's not for a long time."
Omega19x: "... maybe I... just naturally... went blind... eventually..."
Omega19x: ".. .er... go blind..." *is trying to figure out how to talk about his future's past*
Omega19x: *watches as older Malik puts the millennium ring over Ryou's head. He must have taken it off to do yoga. Older Ryou seems lost in thought for a moment.*
Omega19x: "... my yami... is in the ring! He has to be!"
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "So that means that the thief king gives it back to you eventually..."
Omega19x: "... that or somebody finally took it from him..."
Omega19x: "... What do you think... a..about your older self?"
ph33r my rod: "I don't seem to have changed that much, so... I guess that's good? It feels kinda weird to see how you're going to be in sixty years."
Omega19x: "... Do... do you think it's... really what's going to happen? Or... or just one of those... possible futures?
ph33r my rod: "Well... a lot can happen in sixty years, so this is probably just one of the possible outcomes. But it doesn't really seem that bad, compared to anything else that might happen..."
Omega19x: "... you're right..."
Omega19x: *watches the two of their older selves walk out of the room together, arm in arm.*
Omega19x: "... I... I guess we're still together." *smiles*
ph33r my rod: *grins* "...yep. Even after all of those years..."
Omega19x: "... Malik... look! I... I think that's a box of pocky sticking out of your pocket."
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "...THAT definitely didn't change." *snerk*
Omega19x: "... and your other self was wrong... See... it... it didn't really go to your thighs... all that much..."
ph33r my rod: "Must be from all of the DDR, huh. I told him that would balance it out."
Omega19x: "... I bet Mokuba is jealous..."
Omega19x: "... sure... you're... not as buff as you are right now... but you still look better than everyone else..."
ph33r my rod: *snerk* "That's a relief."
Omega19x: "... should... should we... um... follow us?"
Omega19x: *talking about ourselves is hard to do*
ph33r my rod: *indeed it is* "Uh... yeah. Let's follow us."
Omega19x: *they're walking slowly down a hallway*
ph33r my rod: *follow follow follow*
Omega19x: "... we... look cute together..."
ph33r my rod: "Heh. Even as old folks." *grin*
Omega19x: *they go back to one room. They must be living together at the home.*
ph33r my rod: "...yeah, definitely still together." *smiles*
Omega19x: *smiles back*
Omega19x: *the two are in the room. Older Malik sat down on his bed, and is making himself comfortable, for an afternoon nap, it appears.*
ph33r my rod: *watches* "...heh. Seems I got tired just watching you do yoga." *headscratch*
Omega19x: "... I think I'm tired... watching myself... um... do yoga..."
Omega19x: *older Malik sits munching on Pocky*
ph33r my rod: *still strawberry, of course* "I'm surprised they still even make that... um... this far into the future."
Omega19x: *older Ryou sits down on his bed as well, looking a little sore from the workout. He makes a comment that he's not as young as he used to be, and older Malik laughs*
ph33r my rod: *grin* "Looks like we're doing quite well, huh?"
Omega19x: *older Ryou reaches for a small carton of juice left from lunch, and laughs right back along with older Malik*
Omega19x: "... I'd say so..."
ph33r my rod: *touches the Tauk around his neck* "If there are any other futures out there... hopefully the'll be as good as this one."
Omega19x: *in an instant, they are back in Malik's bedroom*
Omega19x: "..." *blink*
ph33r my rod: *blink blink*
ph33r my rod: *removes the Tauk* "...that was interesting."
Omega19x: "... it... it was strange..." *finds himself behind Malik, on the bed, with his hands on the back of the tauk*
ph33r my rod: *takes the Tauk and sets it on the bed* "Well... at least it only showed us what could happen instead of turning us into old folks, huh?"
Omega19x: "... that's... good..."
Omega19x: "... you... you didn't look too bad... for an old man... Though, I think your hair was getting pretty thin on top..."
Omega19x: *smiles playfully*
ph33r my rod: *smirks and leans back against Ryou* "That's gonna do a lot for Mokuba's ego when he finds out that I still look good in sixty years."
Omega19x: "... It's... kind of funny that... that the sickliest becomes the healthiest later on..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "It's ironic, really. But it's a huge relief, too. I'm glad that... you're going to be that healthy."
Omega19x: "It... it is a relief."
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: "... Even if it is just a possible outcome... I like it."
Omega19x: (laughs at the thought of Mokuba envisioning himself as old, short, overweight, and depressed...)
ph33r my rod: (( *gigglesnort* ))
Omega19x: (divine justice, anyone?)
ph33r my rod: (( Poor, poor little Mokuba. 8D ))
Omega19x: (he probably can't get it up anymore either.)
ph33r my rod: (( I bet Malik can! *shot* ))
Omega19x: (hey, you know what they say about those yoga practitioners... heh...)
ph33r my rod: (( XDDDD ))
Omega19x: (uh huh)
ph33r my rod: "If we'll be together even that far into the future, then I'll take it." *grins*
Omega19x: "... me too... I... I hope my yami was still in the ring... I... I'd hate for him to... you know... have passed away..."
Omega19x: "We didn't see a single yami there..."
ph33r my rod: "It's possible that all of them could've gone back to their Items..."
Omega19x: "... true... with... with shadow magic, you never know..."
Omega19x: "... should we... tell... other people what we saw?"
ph33r my rod: *looks up at him* "... As much as I'd like to see Mokuba pulling his hair out at the idea of him becoming a frumpy little old man, I don't think so. If anyone, we should tell Isis, since she wanted to know what happened when I used it. But letting someone know what their possible future could be, unless they see it for themselves is... probably not the best idea."
Omega19x: (how do we put this in the journals, then? Under Privates labels?)
ph33r my rod: (( I s'pose so. ))
Omega19x: "... for all we know... we could try this again tomorrow... and see something completely different..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Probably."
Omega19x: "... at least it didn't... malfunction... this time..."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah. Suddenly becoming blind... I bet that'd be really scary for you."
Omega19x: "... I think sometimes older people... can lose their eyesight over time... Maybe I slowly went blind..."
