Omega19x: *Ryou and his yami have caught a bus to the
Domino City airport, ready to catch a flight into Mexico
City.*
phishschtick: *is quiet, just looking around at everything*
Omega19x: "... you haven't flown much... have you,
yami..."
Omega19x: "other than that time in Seto's blue eyes
white jet."
phishschtick: "And before the cruise. Other than that, no. And I
don't plan to after this."
Omega19x: "... I... I don't like it much either, but we
have to... really..."
phishschtick: "Mmhm."
Omega19x: "We are now boarding flight 277c for
Mexico City, Mexico. All passangers need to be in the
boarding area."
Omega19x: "... and no matter what, we're always
running late!"
Omega19x: *grabs his yami's hand and starts running*
phishschtick: *follows, obviously*
Omega19x: *and get to the plane just on time.*
Omega19x: *they get a few curious looks, a few
comments of 'oh! Twins!' and the like, before finally
finding two seats next to each other.*
phishschtick: *rolls eyes* "I fucking hate that."
Omega19x: "... sorry..."
phishschtick: "Hn." *crosses his arms and looks out the window*
Omega19x: *the plane starts to take off*
Omega19x: *holds his yami's hand, since he doesn't like
this part of flying... or any part, for that matter*
phishschtick: *his jaw clenches; he hates this part as well*
Omega19x: *and woosh*
phishschtick: *magical planelapse?*
Omega19x: (sorry, I'm multitasking, trying to edit video
at the same time)
phishschtick: (Ah, k.)
Omega19x: *a stewardess comes around* "Is there
anything I can get for you two? Something to drink?"
phishschtick: "...no."
Omega19x: *already feeling sick* "... no.. nothing..."
Omega19x: *just leans into his yami, as she passes by*
"... I... hate flying..."
phishschtick: "I don't blame you."
Omega19x: *the flight lasts many hours, and somehow,
Ryou manages to fall asleep for a good portion of it.
Thankfully, or he probably would have gotten sick*
Omega19x: *the plane lands shortly*
phishschtick: *Bakura, however, was awake through the whole
thing and on edge for most of it. By the time they land he's tired and
not in the best of moods*
Omega19x: "Thank you for flying with us today, and
have a great time in Mexico City!"
Omega19x: *groans*
Omega19x: "... I... I hate that part too..."
phishschtick: "Come on, then."
Omega19x: *nods, following his yami off the plane*
Omega19x: *and taking their bags with them*
Omega19x: *by the time they arrive in Mexico, it is late
afternoon. Far too early to begin breaking into a tomb.*
phishschtick: "It's too early to start anything yet." *looks around*
Omega19x: "... I... I'm glad a few signs are at least
written with English on them... I... I don't know any
Spanish..."
phishschtick: "Lucky you."
Omega19x: *holds his yami's hand* "... do... do you...
want to get something to eat? Or... or what do you
normally do before robbing tombs?"
phishschtick: "...we should get something to eat first. Robbing a
tomb when you're hungry is a bad idea."
Omega19x: "... all right..."
Omega19x: "... Now... Dad always said... not to drink
the water in places like this... or you might get sick... So
we shouldn't get anything to eat like fresh fruit... or
something that would have been washed in that water."
Omega19x: "... but other than that, it should be safe to
eat..."
phishschtick: "Good to know."
Omega19x: *looks around* "See any place that looks
like it sells good food?"
phishschtick: *points pretty much randomly somewhere; he
doesn't care. He's hungry* "How about there?
phishschtick: "
Omega19x: *looks over. It's a meat market*
phishschtick: "...heh."
Omega19x: "maybe... some place... a little cleaner..."
*gulped* "You like rare meat... but... but I can't really
stomach that..."
phishschtick: *sighs* "Fine. You pick, then."
Omega19x: *spots a resturant nearby* "This place
probably serves meat from that market, as well as other
things..."
phishschtick: "Whatever."
Omega19x: *go in, sit down, and look at menus in a
language that they cannot really understand*
phishschtick: "...first english, now this."
Omega19x: *Ryou attempts to talk to someone in
English. Thankfully, the waiter knows a little, and he is
able to point out a few things on the menu.*
Omega19x: "What do you want, yami?"
phishschtick: *decides on something that has meat in it and will fill
him up for tonight*
Omega19x: *Ryou orders a meat dish for his yami, and
decides on something for himself that he remembers his
dad mentioning once.*
Omega19x: "I got you a steak of some sort. I hope it
isn't too spicy. I ordered... um... well, it has green
sauce..."
phishschtick: "...green?"
Omega19x: "... Dad said he liked it..."
phishschtick: "Ah."
Omega19x: "He traveled around so much... I... I know a
few foods he liked..."
Omega19x: *soon, their orders are placed before them.
Yami Bakura gets a large steak, complete with rice,
beans, and several spicy sauces for dipping. Ryou gets
beef enchaladas with the green sauce. It's not too spicy,
rather mild.*
phishschtick: *begins to eat right away, hungry from the trip*
Omega19x: *nibbles on his. His dad was right, it does
taste good*
Omega19x: "Do you like it?"
phishschtick: *nods*
Omega19x: "I'm glad."
Omega19x: "... Yami... wh..what is it like.. um... being in
a tomb? I've never been in one..."
phishschtick: "It's usually dark. Cold. Damp."
Omega19x: "... how... how do you see where you're
going?"
phishschtick: "I always used a torch of some sort." *shrugs*
Omega19x: "... the flashlights... right."
Omega19x: "Is... is it scary down there?"
phishschtick: "Not for me, but for you, most likely."
Omega19x: "... oh..."
Omega19x: "... Is... is it dangerous?"
phishschtick: "Didn't seem too dangerous when I put it there."
*takes another bite of his steak*
Omega19x: "... nothing... alive in there? or... or any
traps?"
phishschtick: "Not that I encountered."
Omega19x: "... that's good... In... in Egypt... there were
lots of traps, right?"
phishschtick: "Mmhm, because they buried pharaohs and people to
that effect in those tombs. They wanted to keep their bodies and their
treasures secure."
phishschtick: "...and now we see how well that worked."
Omega19x: "... right..."
Omega19x: (okay, I need foodstuffs. bbl, kay?)
phishschtick: (Yep. Seeya then.)
Omega19x: (sort of back. and forth)
phishschtick: (kay.)
Omega19x: (editing, and rp-ing)
phishschtick: (Yep, it's ok. I'm kind of multitasking too right now,
so.)
Omega19x: "... did you... hide it in the pyramid itself... or
in the caves underneath?"
phishschtick: "I hid it in the caves." *takes another bite of steak*
"That won't be too much of a challenge for you, will it?"
Omega19x: "..n..no... I... I'll be all right..."
Omega19x: "... I've never been in caves before..."
Omega19x: "... but I'll be okay..."
phishschtick: "Huh, if you say so."
Omega19x: "... do.. do you think I... can't do it?"
phishschtick: "I didn't say that, no."
Omega19x: "...It's not too hard... to climb in caves, is
it?"
phishschtick: "Once you get the hang of it, no."
Omega19x: "do they go really deep?"
phishschtick: "Sometimes."
Omega19x: "... I bet it makes a... a good hiding place
though... Nobody goes down there, do they?"
phishschtick: *shakes head*
Omega19x: "...then we won't run into... any trouble,
right?"
phishschtick is away at 2:09:47 PM.
phishschtick returned at 2:21:46 PM.
phishschtick: "Probably not."
Omega19x: "... that's good..."
Omega19x: "Do... do we change into black clothes yet?"
Omega19x: "... so we won'
Omega19x: t be spotted?"
Omega19x: (*stabs enter key with a sharpie, good thing
the keyboard is already black*)
phishschtick: "Stop worrying. I managed to get the thing in there,
so we shouldn't have problems getting it out."
Omega19x: *looks down* "... sorry..."
Omega19x: *nibbles more on his dinner*
Omega19x: *nibble nibble nibble*
phishschtick is idle at 2:44:58 PM.
phishschtick is no longer idle at 2:48:24 PM.
phishschtick: *continues on his, too*
Omega19x: *Ryou assumed they had a long night ahead
of them. Knowing his yami, he probably found the
deepest place in the cave to hide the ring.*
Omega19x: "... Do you remember which pyramid?"
phishschtick: "I'd know it if I saw it."
Omega19x: "... okay."
Omega19x: "... the... the biggest one, right?"
phishschtick: "Hm," *smirks*
Omega19x: "... w..where else?"
Omega19x: *smiles back. He knows his yami well.*
Omega19x: "My dad told me a lot about... about these
pyramids... If it's the biggest one... it's the pyramid of the
sun..."
phishschtick: "Really."
Omega19x: "... One of the things he presented in... in
England... when I went with him for that year... was
comparissons between the Mexican pyramids and the
Egyptian ones... I... I don't remember that much, but I
remember some..."
phishschtick: "What do you remember?"
Omega19x: "...I know that the pyramid of the sun... it's
the third largest pyramid in the world..."
Omega19x: "and it was built over a series of four sacred
caves..."
phishschtick: "...huh."
Omega19x: "I don't know how to get in it, though... Did
you have to climb to the top? Or was there a way in at
the bottom?"
phishschtick: "I got in through the bottom."
Omega19x: "... that's good... it's... it's really big..."
Omega19x: "and tall..."
Omega19x: "... I... I know where it is, though... In
Teotihuacan... its... probably about 25 miles northeast of
here..."
Omega19x: "... maybe an hour or so by bus..."
phishschtick: "Sounds decent enough."
Omega19x: "... whenever you're ready... I... I guess we
should get going there..."
phishschtick: "Ready when you are." *leans back in the chair*
Omega19x: *Ryou nods, pays for the food, and they
leave*
Omega19x: *off to catch a bus, which takes a while,
based on language differences, but thankfully Ryou can at
least recognize the names of cities and bus numbers*
Omega19x: *magical buslapse*
phishschtick: *vroom*
Omega19x: *looking out windows, as the sun is going
down, spotting the pyramids on the horizon*
Omega19x: "is... is that where you were, yami?"
phishschtick: "That's it."
Omega19x: *smiles, relieved that they're at least at the
right spot*
Omega19x: *the bus lets them off a good twenty minute
hike from the ancient site, but it is visible at near dusk*
Omega19x: *there is a slight chill in the air, no where
near as cold as back home. And the area is almost
deserted.*
phishschtick: "Well, then." *looks around*
Omega19x: *gulps, noticing how creepy it looks at night,
compared to all the photographs he'd seen*
Omega19x: "... this... this is scary... yami."
phishschtick: "It's okay; I'm here. Nothing's going to happen."
*starts walking*
Omega19x: *takes his yami's hand*
Omega19x: *and they start walking*
Omega19x: *by the time they reach the site, it is in
complete darkness.*
Omega19x: *Ryou is certainly not adept to wandering
around in darkness, but his yami is. He holds onto his
yami so not to lose him*
phishschtick: *leads Ryou over to where the tallest pyramid is; it's
easy to see because of the silhouette it casts against the clear night
sky*
Omega19x: "... so... this is it..."
Omega19x: *can hardly believe he is about to rob a
tomb, even if it is just to get out what was already theirs.*
phishschtick: "Yep." *starts looking for the spot he entered last
time*
phishschtick: *he can sense how nervous Ryou is, and he tries to
not make it worse. After a few minutes of walking, he finds it*
"...here."
Omega19x: "... the... the entrance?"
phishschtick: "No, the fire exit. Got a flashlight?"
Omega19x: *Ryou fumbles around in his bag for a few
minutes before finally finding it* "... here...:
Omega19x: "... you... you didn't have a flashlight when
you put it in here, did you..."
phishschtick: "...no..." *takes the flashlight and tosses and
catches it a few times before flicking it on and shining it into the
entrance*
Omega19x: *it's a small crawlway, probably leading
directly into the caves as well as the pyramid.*
Omega19x: *Ryou trembles*
phishschtick: *looks at his hikari* "..."
Omega19x: "... that's... dark... and creepy in there..."
phishschtick: "You want the ring back?"
Omega19x: "...y..yes..."
phishschtick: "Come on, then." *smirks* "You've got the darkness
protecting you, remember?" *pulls Ryou's arm a little in the direction of
the opening*
Omega19x: *nods weakly* "...l..lead the.. the way..."
phishschtick: *crouches down in front of the opening, crawling
inside, flashlight in hand. He waits until Ryou is directly behind him
before going any further*
Omega19x: *follows his yami*
Omega19x: *the crawlway is just that, a space barely
big enough to crawl through. It's dank, damp, dirty, and
dark.*
phishschtick: *crawlcrawlcrawl*
Omega19x: *coughing from the dust*
Omega19x: "... how... how much farther?"
phishschtick: "Not too much..." *holds the flashlight out and sees
the other end*
Omega19x: *follows*
Omega19x: *wondering where this tunnel actually ends*
phishschtick: *they finally reach the end and Bakura pushes
himself out, putting the flashlight between his teeth so that he could
use both hands. He turns and waits for Ryou*
Omega19x: (does it drop down, or what?)
phishschtick: (Yeah. kind of coming out of the wall type thing)
Omega19x: (you're leading the way, you get to describe)
phishschtick: (yep, I know.)
Omega19x: *looks down, seeing the flashlight spin as his
yami rolls out of the opening*
Omega19x: *really wishes he could go down feet first,
but that's not possible given the size of the tunnel*
phishschtick: "...need some help?"
phishschtick: (brb)
phishschtick: (back)
Auto response from Omega19x: I'm not really away.
I'm just facing the other computer right now... probably
being productive.
Omega19x: (wb)
Omega19x: "... I... I can d..do it..." *pushes himself out
of the opening, yelping as he falls towards the ground*
phishschtick: *catches him* "Sure you can."
Omega19x: "... s..sorry..."
Omega19x: *cringes in his yami's arms*
phishschtick: "..."
phishschtick: "...come on."
Omega19x: *weak nod, as his yami puts him down*
Omega19x: "... wh..where to?"
phishschtick: *looks around; they're in something similar to a
hallway now. It's dark, the only light coming from the flashlight held in
Yami Bakura's hand. He shines the light down the left hallway, which
seems to continue on for quite a ways. The other way, however, has
ragged stone stairs at the end that look like they'd go down into the
caves* "...this is where we want to be going."
Omega19x: *weak nod, reaching for his yami's hand
again*
Omega19x: ".. o..okay..."
phishschtick: *takes Ryou's hand and starts to walk down the hall
to the right*
Omega19x: *carefully walking, trying not to trip on the
stairs*
Omega19x: "... this... this isn't... to..too bad..."
phishschtick: *continues down the stairs until they finally get to
the bottom. There's another hallway that leads into the caves, which
are dark, damp and smelly.*
Omega19x: *the smell is enough to make Ryou want to
vomit. It smells like something died in there. And there's a
good chance something probably did at one pont.*
Omega19x: "...oh...god..."
Omega19x: *steps into a small pool of water, a
collection from the rainy season. There's a chance that
lower caves might be flooded.*
phishschtick: "Don't breathe through your nose. It'll make it
easier." *he shines the light around, seeing four openings* "Now...
where did I put that thing..."
Omega19x: "...o..okay..." *covers his nose with his hand
anyway*
Omega19x: *follows his yami's light, but doesn't see it in
this cave. It could be farther away, or maybe in a
different cave all together. He knew this pyramid
supposedly had four caves under it. They probably joined
together somehow.*
phishschtick: *shines the flashlight at the second cave* "If I recall
correctly, it's this one."
Omega19x: *looks down at the water. The cave is a bit
lower, and also a bit flooded*
Omega19x: "... you... sure?"
phishschtick: "...yeah." *eyes it, noticing the water height*
Omega19x: *gulps*
phishschtick: "...how best should we go about this, do you think?"
*has a few ideas of his own but asks anyway*
Omega19x: "... how... how deep is it?"
phishschtick: "Not too deep, I'd assume... the water doesn't look
too high in comparison to the size of the opening."
Omega19x: "... if... if we... can walk... we... we should...
Unless it drops off... at some point... How far in... did
you put the ring?"
phishschtick: "Far enough."
Omega19x: *weak nod, and steps out into the water a
little bit. It feels slimey*
Omega19x: "... wh..where is it?"
phishschtick: *follows suit* "IN the cave."
Omega19x: *weak nod*
Omega19x: *they walk a good distance, the water rising
as the floor of the cave drops lower and lower*
Omega19x: "... maybe... this... this wasn't a good idea..."
phishschtick: "We're close now. Look." *shines the light around the
cave a bit and it reflects off of something*
Omega19x: *it's the ring. It has to be!*
Omega19x: "... o..okay..."
Omega19x: (dinner. bbs)
Omega19x: (back)
Omega19x: *takes another step towards the light's
reflection, and his head goes quickly under water*
phishschtick: "Shit-" *reaches down for Ryou and yanks him back
up by the arm, backing up a couple steps, away from the dropoff*
Omega19x: *coughs*
Omega19x: "... th..thanks..."
phishschtick: "There goes that plan..."
Omega19x: "... it caught me by surprise..."
Omega19x: "... c..can you... not swim?"
phishschtick: "Of course I can. I meant the walking part."
Omega19x: ".. oh..."
Omega19x: *wipes the slimey water off his face, despite
the fact he's about to get more of it in his face.*
phishschtick: "..."
Omega19x: "... let's... let's get it..."
phishschtick: "That would be a good idea."
Omega19x: *took a deep breath, and started swimming
out towards the glittery item*
Omega19x: *swim swim swim*
phishschtick: *swims also*
Omega19x: *coming up for air* "..yami... sh..shine the
light..."
Omega19x: "I don't see it..."
phishschtick: *shines the light over there*
Omega19x: "... oh..."
Omega19x: *swims a little more, and just about reaches
the rock it's on.*
Omega19x: *gets closer, with the light shining on it, and
then suddenly stops, letting out an 'eep!'*
phishschtick: "..what?"
Omega19x: "... l..look... s..snake... There's a curled on
it..."
Omega19x: *paddles slightly backwards*
phishschtick: *swims over to the rock. He's dealt with snakes
before, back in Egypt* "Let me see."
phishschtick: (what kind of snake...?)
Omega19x: *it's quite dark, it's hard to tell what kind of
snake it is... until it rattles*
phishschtick: "...shit."
Omega19x: "... oh god... how'd a snake get in here?
there might be more... oh god..."
Omega19x: "I hate snakes..."
phishschtick: "What we need to worry about right now is getting
this thing off of the Ring."
Omega19x: "... it... it's poisonous, yami..."
phishschtick: "So? You want this thing back or not?"
Omega19x: "... I... I don't... don't want to get bit..."
Omega19x: "... I... I want the ring back... but..
may...maybe it will leave..."
Omega19x: *waiting, floating in the slimy water, but
even as they wait, the snake seems content with sitting on
the ring*
phishschtick: "...that snake's not moving. " *looks at Ryou* "We
need something to throw at it to get it off, or something."
Omega19x: *still staring at the three foot long snake,
shaking it's rattle, looking angrilly back at them*
Omega19x: "... throw what? ...a... a rock?"
phishschtick: "Whatever works."
phishschtick: "A stick to lift it off would be better, but I doubt we'll
find one of those."
Omega19x: "... um..." *starts looking around, but
doesn't see anything just floating there. They'd have to
swim somewhere else, or dive down to the bottom to
pick up something*
phishschtick: "I'll swim down to see if I can find anything."
Omega19x: "... be... be careful"
phishschtick: "Mmhm." *dives down into the murky, slimy water
and feels along the bottom, which is equally slimy, if not more. After a
moment his hand comes across something long and sticklike, and a
couple rocks. He grabs them and swims to the surface*
Omega19x: *watches his yami pop up out of the water*
Omega19x: "... f..find anything?"
phishschtick: *holds up his findings*
Omega19x: *timidly takes a rock from his yami* "...
are...are you sure about this?"
phishschtick: *holds the stick in one hand and a rock in the other*
"Positive. It's the only way."
Omega19x: *the snake rattles. it is not pleased with
Bakura coming closer*
phishschtick: *holds out the stick until it's inches away from the
snake and tries to ease the stick underneath it*
Omega19x: "...b..be careful..."
phishschtick: *gets the stick far enough underneath the snake to
lift it. He does so.*
phishschtick: *and it hisses and rattles*
Omega19x: *trembles*
Omega19x: "...oh, get rid of it... get rid of it..."
*whispering*
phishschtick: *tosses the snake in the direction of another rock,
away from himself and the ring*
Omega19x: "..eeep..." *watches the snake flying* "Get
the ring! Get the ring!!"
phishschtick: "I'm going, I'm going!" *swims over to the rock and
snatches the Ring off of it. He swims back to Ryou*
Omega19x: "before it comes back!"
Omega19x: *starts swimming towards the other side of
the cave*
phishschtick: *follows, putting the Ring around his neck*
Omega19x: *swim swim swin*
phishschtick: *swim~*
Omega19x: *and just as they reach the end of the water,
the flashlight goes dead*
phishschtick: "Ah, fuck."
Omega19x: "... eep..."
Omega19x: "...y..yami... wh..where are you?"
phishschtick: "Over here."
Omega19x: *reaching out in the dark for him*
phishschtick: *does the same*
phishschtick: *until he accidentally hits Ryou in the back of the
head*
Omega19x: *ow!*
phishschtick: "...found you."
Omega19x: "... oh... yami..." *grabs for his yami's hand*
Omega19x: "... n..now what?"
phishschtick: "Now we feel our way back to the stairs, wherever
they are."
Omega19x: "h..how long did you stay in the pyramid
when you put the ring in here?"
phishschtick: "...why?"
Omega19x: "... you... you had to find... your way out...
in the dark... I... I was just wondering how long it took..."
phishschtick: "Ah. Well, all we have to do is remember how exactly
we got here from the stairs."
phishschtick: "..." *looks around at the blackness*
Omega19x: "... you...you're the expert... if... if anyone
can get out of a tomb, it's you, yami..."
phishschtick: *stands up, reaching over for the wall*
Omega19x: *still holding on, following*
phishschtick: *continues along the wall, feeling his way - hopefully
- to the stairs, Ryou in tow*
Omega19x: *walk walk walk, for what feels like the
better part of an hour*
phishschtick: *trips over something. Yep, the stairs back*
Omega19x: "... oh thank goodness... I.. I want out of
this pyramid..."
Omega19x: *follows his yami as they walk slowly and
carefully up the stairs, praying that they don't hear any
more snakes*
Omega19x: "... n..now... how do we get back up to... to
the crawlway?"
phishschtick: *continues up the stairs, almost to the top* "...same
way we got out of it?"
Omega19x: "... I... I mean getting back.. . back up TO
it..."
Omega19x: *feeling along the wall now, trying to reach
where the opening is*
phishschtick: "Well, that could pose as a problem..." *finds the
opening, which is level with his face* "Here. I'll boost you up."
Omega19x: "... okay..."
Omega19x: *gets boosted, and finally manges to pull
himself up*
phishschtick: *once Ryou is up he tries to pull himself up as well*
Omega19x: *Ryou wishes he could turn back around to
help his yami, but he can't. So he sticks his foot out a little
for him to grab on to.*
phishschtick: *sees Ryou stick out his foot and grabs onto it,
pulling himself up the rest of the way. The ring jingles as it hits the
stone - a sound he had missed*
Omega19x: "... let's... let's get out of here..."
phishschtick: *grunts* "Lead the way."
Omega19x: "... right..." *crawl crawl crawl, until he can
finally feel the night breeze on his face*
Omega19x: *it is still dark when they reach the opening
of the pyramid, but probably not for long. They have
likely been in there most all night*
Omega19x: *pulls himself out of the hole, his body
covered in slimy muck, cold, and aching from the
climbing around*
phishschtick: *once they're out, Bakura slumps against the side of
the pyramid, in pretty much the same shape as Ryou*
Omega19x: "... is... is that what it was like... back..
.back then?"
Omega19x: "... only... I guess you'd be pulling out
more... more than one piece of gold..."
phishschtick: "A bit more exciting than this due to traps and such,
but yes, pretty much." *smirks* "Actually, this is the first time I haven't
been alone doing it."
Omega19x: "... traps? What kind of traps?"
phishschtick: "All kinds. Arrows, swinging blades, flying knives,
falling cielings..." *lists off at least a dozen more*
Omega19x: "... how... s..scary..."
Omega19x: "... And you did this all the time?"
phishschtick: "That I did."
Omega19x: *was about to ask why, but then realized
how much food someone could probably get back then
with even a piece of royal gold.*
Omega19x: "... I'm... glad I... I was here with you..."
*leans next to his yami, and rubs his chest, as well as the
ring*
Omega19x: *Ryou and his yami are sitting outside the
Aztec pyramid. It is still dark, though the sun will
probably rise in about an hour.*
Omega19x: *Both are dirty, covered in slime, but they
have what they came for - the other millennium ring. And
for that, they are happy.*
phishschtick: *rubs his arms as if trying to dry them a bit* "...we
should get out of here before the sun comes up. We wouldn't want
ayone to find us here with something like this." *holds up the ring*
Omega19x: *weak nod*
Omega19x: "... N..now what, yami?"
phishschtick: *pushes himself up and looks around* "Now we
leave."
Omega19x: "... We... we can't fly out looking... looking
like this, though..."
phishschtick: "...good point."
Omega19x: "... We smell... well... not very pleasant...
and... and we're covered in slime... We need to clean off,
or everyone will suspect we did something bad!"
phishschtick: "Yes, okay, fine. Any suggestions on how we
manage that?"
Omega19x: "...um..." *shrugs*
Omega19x: "... maybe get... a... a hotel room... um...
they have hourly ones everywhere now... right? We won't
need it for long..."
phishschtick: "...whatever works." *shrugs*
Omega19x: "... maybe... find one where they... um...
speak a little english too..."
Omega19x: *starts walking towards the direction of the
city*
Omega19x: *and eventually coming upon one of those
sleazy motels, the kind that rent out rooms at hourly rates,
perfect for prostitutes, one night stands, and those just
looking for some hard core smex. But the man behind the
counter understands a little english.*
Omega19x: *catches sight of what just walks in his
establishment,* "...okay, I bite. What just drag in here?"
phishschtick: "..."
Omega19x: *holding tightly onto his yami's hand*
Omega19x: *eyes them waringly* "You two rump and
hump in graveyard all night or something?"
Omega19x: *blink*
Omega19x: *looks up at his yami timidly*
phishschtick: *raises eyebrow, deciding to ignore the statement*
"Just give us a room."
Omega19x: *hands a key to Bakura* "How long you
freaks need?"
Omega19x: "... um... a... t..two hours maybe?"
Omega19x: "Two hour. pay up front. Fifty American
dollar."
phishschtick: *looks at Ryou*
Omega19x: *blinks* "... right..." *starts digging through
his bag, and finds his wallet.*
Omega19x: "... w...will you take thirty... that's... that's all
I have left..."
Omega19x: "okay, sure. fine."
Omega19x: *snatches money out of Ryou's hand*
Omega19x: "Room 3."
Omega19x: *walks them over to the room, and knocks
on the door, shouting that someone's time is up.*
Omega19x: *a business man exits, straightening his tie,
with a hispanic hooker walking the other way.* "There.
Room."
phishschtick: *eyes them as they leave*
Omega19x: *quickly closes the door and locks it* "...
okay... so... so maybe this wasn't the... the best idea...
Thi..this place is... scary!"
phishschtick: "We're only here for two hours. Don't worry about
it."
Omega19x: *nods quickly, glancing at himself in a
mirror. His white hair is practically grey, and stuck
together with slime. He looks like he just crawled out of a
grave. Which, he sort of did, actually*
Omega19x: "... I need a shower..."
phishschtick: "Go ahead." *sits on one of the beds*
Omega19x: ".. .be..be right back..." *locks the
bathroom door, and proceeds to shower. A good fifteen
minutes later, he steps out, wrapped in a towel.*
Omega19x: "... you're turn..."
Omega19x: *your
Omega19x: (yes, as a college graduate, I can differintiate
between those two words.)
phishschtick: (Hee.) *was half-asleep on the bed, but heard Ryou
come out of the bathroom. He pushes himself up and goes for his
shower*
Omega19x: *Ryou drips on the carpet, looking through
his bag for a clean pair of clothes.*
Omega19x: "... I... have a pair for you too, yami..."
phishschtick: *is finished after about 10 minutes, he comes out of
the bathroom as well, towel around him* "Mmhmm."
Omega19x: *hands his yami some clean clothes,
blushing as he catches a glance of his yami in that short
towel*
Omega19x: "... here you go."
phishschtick: *takes the clothes from Ryou and goes to put them
on*
Omega19x: *brushes through his hair, which still smells a
little like slime. The hotel shampoo wasn't very useful.*
Omega19x: *smiles as his yami comes back out.*
"..we... we did it, though... We got the ring..."
phishschtick: *smiles a bit* "We did."
Omega19x: *wraps his arms around his yami* "...I'm so
very happy, yami..."
Omega19x: "... it... it was this ring that brought us
together... Well... one just like it... "
phishschtick: "Just out of curiosity... you said when the ring was
taken you felt the link break off."
phishschtick: "Notice any sort of change now that it's back?
...even though this isn't the same one?"
Omega19x: "...I... I wish I did... but... I don't..."
Omega19x: "...wait."
phishschtick: "Ah. That's fine..."
phishschtick: "Hm?"
Omega19x: *it's not a feeling of thoughts, but rather of...
just knowing that his yami is there. Nearby.*
Omega19x: "... maybe just a little... I... it's like I can feel
you're there... and... and okay..."
Omega19x: "I can't hear your thoughts, but... I can feel
you're nearby..."
phishschtick: "Huh."
Omega19x: "... a... a weaker link, maybe..."
phishschtick: "...interesting." *eyes the ring in his hands*
Omega19x: "... do... do you feel anything?"
phishschtick: "Uh huh. Pretty much the same thing. ...I wonder if it
works like the other one."
Omega19x: "... I... I don't know... Can... can you do
anything with it?"
phishschtick: "I'd rather not test that here."
Omega19x: "... right..."
Omega19x: "... maybe... maybe the link needs time to
repair... it... It was broken rather sharply...."
phishschtick: "Perhaps."
Omega19x: "... or maybe it... it doesn't exist anymore
now that you're not... you know... connected to the
ring..."
phishschtick: "Hm..." *shrugs*
Omega19x: "... but we have it back. That's all that
matters. We're still yami and hikari... with... with or
without the link..."
phishschtick: *smirks* "That we are."
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: "and we always will be..."
phishschtick: *puts a hand on Ryou's shoulder* "...no matter
what."
Omega19x: "... come on, yami... Let's... let's go home..."
phishschtick: "...gladly."
Omega19x: "... we can catch a bus back to Mexico
City... our... our flight won't leave for another few
hours..."
phishschtick: "Fine."
Omega19x: "... good... th..this hotel room gives me the
creeps..."
phishschtick: "I'm just as eager to leave as you are..." *walks to
the door*
Omega19x: *follows quickly*
phishschtick: *opens the door once Ryou is behind him*
Omega19x: *and takes hold of his arm, not wanting to
be separated from him in this place for even a moment*
phishschtick: *and they both leave the motel*
Omega19x: *and catch a bus, and head to the airport*
