You have just entered room "tauktothehand."
ph33r my rod: (( *dies at room name* ))
Koshari Chef: [[<3 the name, Dez~]]
Omega19x: *setting: Rishid has brought Priest Mahaado to the Ishtar's house, so that he can meet Isis.*
Omega19x: *they knock politely on the front door, knowing that Isis is home. I assume that Malik and Ryou are elsewhere at the time being.*
ph33r my rod: *answers the door after a few moments, blinks* "...hello." *small smile*
Koshari Chef: "Hello, sister." *smiles* "How are you? This is Priest Mahaado...he has some questions for you."
ph33r my rod: "I'm... fine." *turns to Mahaado* "... Questions?"
Omega19x: "Yes, Rishid has told me all about you. You do so resemble Priestess Isis. And you posess sennen items."
ph33r my rod: *frowns a little at the mention of 'items'* "... Yes, I do."
Omega19x: "May I come in, please, priestess?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...yes, of course." *steps aside to let them in*
Koshari Chef: *softly as he steps past her* "Are you sure you're alright?"
Omega19x: *walks inside politely*
ph33r my rod: "...yes, I'm fine." *reaches up and softly touches her shoulder, which is quite cold, had been holding an icepack to it before they'd arrived*
Omega19x: "Priestess, have you been injured?"
Koshari Chef: "Would you like me to mix you anything, for pain or healing?" *looking like an anxious puppy*
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "My shoulder's still healing from the attack by Shadow, that's all." *small smile* "... It's fine. Really."
Omega19x: "I have heard of this Shadow as well. If I only had my sennen ring, I might be able to aid in the search and his eventual capture."
Omega19x: "But that is one reason why I am here. When I arrived in this world, I found myself stripped of my item. Surely it is here somewhere."
Omega19x: "Do you have any knowledge of its whereabouts?"
Koshari Chef: "..." *decides to stare at Isis*
ph33r my rod: "I... believe the thief king has it. He too was brought into this time somehow, along with Priest Seth..."
ph33r my rod: (( Wooo plot hole~ ))
Omega19x: "The wretched thief has my ring?!"
ph33r my rod: "...unfortunately, yes."
Omega19x: *Mahaado's normal calm composure fumes*
Omega19x: "How is that possible?!"
Koshari Chef: "He has had it since he came here, as far as I know. He has not used it against anyone, however." except Shadow, but Shadow was an exception anyway.
ph33r my rod: "Actually, I think it was stolen from his..." *tries to think of the right word* "...present incarnation?"
Omega19x: "Yes, I have heard there are at least four Bakurae running around in this world."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "But to have my worst nemisis holding such a great power. It unnerves me, priestess, to say the least."
Omega19x: "What items remain in your safekeeping?"
ph33r my rod: "The Tauk, and my younger brother currently possesses the Rod."
Omega19x: "And they are... malfunctioning?"
ph33r my rod: "The Tauk moreso, but yes."
Koshari Chef: "One of the Rods is...our younger brother--the one who does not live here--his Rod still works fine."
Omega19x: "His rod? There is a second?"
Omega19x: (yeah, someone figure out that plot hole.)
Koshari Chef: "He believes the second Rod to be the other Rod--the way that there are two of each person running about, I suppose."
Omega19x: "So there may be two of each item now?"
ph33r my rod: "Perhaps. Some of the people in this city have another self, such as Malik, so... there very well could be two of each item."
Koshari Chef: "I haven't seen any other duplicates, personally."
ph33r my rod: "Nor have I."
Omega19x: "An interesting perdicament."
Omega19x: "There may be another ring somewhere, not in the hands of a thief."
Koshari Chef: "There is another Ryou...but I don't know if he has an Item, nor do I know if it would be any better than a thief if he did."
Omega19x: "Ryou?"
Omega19x: "Is he a priest?"
Koshari Chef: "The future reincarnation of Bakura. ...He's actually a student, as far as I know..."
Omega19x: "Another incarnation of the thief. They are like locusts!"
Omega19x: "The pharaoh would be very displeased."
ph33r my rod: "Yes, but... Ryou is nothing like the thief or his present self. At least, the only one I've met isn't..."
Koshari Chef: "Agreed. He's very kind. ...The other Ryou seems a bit unstable, though, from what I've heard."
Omega19x: "Any incarnation of the thief is an enemy of the pharaoh's."
Omega19x: "And therefore an enemy of mine. It is my duty."
ph33r my rod: (( Don't let Malik hear you say that, Mahaado. ;D ))
Koshari Chef: "I...cannot argue with duty. But I'm positive you will f find Ryou is no threat."
Omega19x: "I will be the judge of that."
Omega19x: "But to return to our earlier discussion, you mentioned the tauk was malfunctioning?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Yes. It... still shows me visions, but... not how it's supposed to."
Omega19x: "How so?"
ph33r my rod: "Well... I can no longer control what it shows me. I can't look into the past or future of my own will; anyone who uses it will see some twisted version of the past or future..."
ph33r my rod: "And it's also effected us in the present."
Omega19x: "Priestess, I do wonder if such a problem is based on my, or should I say, our presense in your world. This is another time, is it not?"
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "The past and future are changing rapidly if that is the case."
Omega19x: "It might affect the way you can perceive events."
ph33r my rod: "...interesting. I never thought of that..."
Koshari Chef: "How does the Tauk affect its users physical bodies?"
ph33r my rod: "...well..." *shifts uncomfortably* "I'm still not really sure how it happened. But after a series of visions shown to myself, and several others, we were back here in the present, and..."
ph33r my rod: "... As strange as it sounds, everybody's genders were switched." *looks at the floor*
Omega19x: "Quite peculiar."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "May I examine the item?"
ph33r my rod: "...yes." *reaches into her pocket, pulls out something wrapped in a cloth, and unwraps it, hoping that it doesn't activate*
Omega19x: *holds out his hands*
Omega19x: "Do not worry, I have seen the priestess Isis utilize its power many times."
ph33r my rod: *carefully places the cloth in his hands, with the Tauk sitting on it* "Sometimes it will activate at the slightest touch..."
Omega19x: *picks it up, and ties it around his neck, activating its power to see into the future*
Omega19x: *He stands silent for a minute, as though he is watching something play out.*
Omega19x: *then suddenly, he falls to his knees, ripping the tauk from his neck. His breath is heavy, and he appears distrubed by what he saw.*
ph33r my rod: *eyes widen* "... What did you see...?"
Omega19x: *gasping for breath*
Omega19x: "I... I saw a terrible battle in the tomb of the last pharaoh!"
Omega19x: "Or, I thought it was the last pharaoh, but it was actually the tomb of pharaoh Atem!"
ph33r my rod: *blinks*
Omega19x: "I was fighting with the thief, Bakura. And he... he killed me."
ph33r my rod: "...oh dear."
Omega19x: *holds up the tauk to Isis* "The... the vision stopped at my death, priestess."
ph33r my rod: *cautiously takes it*
Koshari Chef: *looks quizzically at Isis* "But...that has already happened...in a way, has it not?"
ph33r my rod: "Yes, it has..." *looks down at Mahaado* "Was there anything... particularly unusual about the vision?"
Omega19x: "I was under the impression that the tauk could not sense the future of sennen item holders."
Omega19x: "But yes, something was unusual."
Omega19x: "The thief. He kept changing."
ph33r my rod: "...changing?"
Omega19x: "Yes. One moment he was the fiend I am familiar with, and suddenly he was quite pale. In another instance, he was quite timid and frightened, and unsure of where he was. In another, he was quite silly."
Omega19x: "It was quite unusual."
ph33r my rod: "......."
ph33r my rod: "...very interesting." *ponders*
Omega19x: (and I used quite a lot in that sentence)
ph33r my rod: "Well... the one you were familiar with is obvious, the pale one would be his present self... and the timid and frightened one must be Ryou... the silly one? Possibly the present one's other self..." *sighs*
Koshari Chef: *frowns* "But Ryou would not get involved in a fight like that, would he?"
Omega19x: "I must be quite vigilant. With a vision such as that, I cannot afford to take the thief or his incarnations lightly."
ph33r my rod: "No, Ryou wouldn't want to be involved as something such as this..."
Omega19x: "If I must give my life for my pharaoh, so be it. But I do not wish to die in vain."
ph33r my rod: "... I see."
Omega19x: "I interpret this vision as a warning."
ph33r my rod: "...a warning?"
Omega19x: "A warning to be on my guard."
ph33r my rod: "...even so, that... is a rather tame vision compared to some of the others we've seen."
Koshari Chef: "Do you think it was working more properly than it has been?"
ph33r my rod: "It sounds like it. I'm rather surprised that it only showed it to Mahaado, though..."
Omega19x: "It did not appear to do anything strange. Although the vision was unusual."
Omega19x: Why would it not be a private vision, priestess?"
ph33r my rod: "Well... most of the time, it's shown the vision to whoever was in the room. At one point, there were at least six people seeing them at one time..."
Omega19x: "It never did that during my time as a high priest. And Priestess Isis never indicated that it should."
ph33r my rod: "That's... what it's been doing now. Whether it's supposed to be doing that, I'm unsure."
Omega19x: "Though, I am a trained sorcerer. Learning the magic of the sennen items was my responsibility and duty for several years."
Omega19x: "I do not wish to imply that it has not been that way for you, priestess."
Omega19x: "Though, from what I have observed in this world, magic is not held in high regard. I do not know how long an item holder would have been trained."
ph33r my rod: "A few of the holders in this time only came across their items in the last couple of years..."
Omega19x: "That concerns me. Especially where the ring is concerned. The evil within that item knows no bounds. It was given to me because my powers were great enough to keep it contained."
Omega19x: "Should the thief learn to harness that power, then that vision will surely come to pass."
Koshari Chef: "At this point, Diabound has it...and he knows how to use it."
Omega19x: "Troubling news."
Koshari Chef: "But as I said, he hasn't used it to harm anyone."
Omega19x: "And given duplicates... I do not know what to make of it, priestess. Rishid. I do not know what to make of it at all."
Omega19x: "I came searching for answers to my questions, and have found only more questions!"
ph33r my rod: *sigh* "I apologize for that. This situation... may be more serious than I'd initially thought."
Omega19x: "Do not apologize. It is good to be informed of danger. Then it can be prevented."
ph33r my rod: "..." *nods*
Koshari Chef: *trying to remain impassive* "Perhaps it's not so serious. The tauk has malfunctioned, and Atem isn't here. I agree you should be on guard, but it isn't a certain thing."
ph33r my rod: "...right."
Omega19x: "No vision is ever certain. But each must be read with care, so that the correct outcome can occur."
Omega19x: "So that it can prepare us, and perhaps guide our actions."
ph33r my rod: "Ah, yes..." *would hate to find out what Ryou's vision of the future might br warning them about*
Koshari Chef: [[The baby one? >.>]]
Omega19x: (yeah, which one?_
ph33r my rod: (( Yes. ;; ))
Omega19x: (I would hate to find out what the pregnant one would mean)
Omega19x: (or the siegfried one)
Omega19x: (or the Mokuba one)
ph33r my rod: (( *nodnod* ))
Omega19x: "I would love to stay and investigate this situation longer, but I am staying in Mana's quarters now, and she has a cat that needs to be fed."
Omega19x: "But thank you for allowing me to activate the tauk. It has given me much to ponder."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...you're welcome."
Koshari Chef: *looks as if he wants to say more; stays quiet, in Rishid-fashion* "Say hello to Mana for me."
Omega19x: "I shall."
ph33r my rod: "I'm sorry you couldn't find the answers you were looking for."
Omega19x: 'Do not fear, they will come with time."
ph33r my rod: "...of course."
Omega19x: (you can keep rping, I'm beat.)
ph33r my rod: (( Night, then~ :3 ))
Omega19x: (night!)
Omega19x has left the room.
