You have just entered room "kafight."
phishschtick has entered the room.
Omega19x: (*waves hello*)
phishschtick: (Hellooo.)
ph33r my rod: (( Yo. 8D ))
Omega19x: *the group of three, in the underground chamber, awaken. Today is the day of the big battle.*
ph33r my rod: *yawns*
phishschtick: *blah*
Omega19x: "... at least it gets warm here fast..."
ph33r my rod: "...mmhmm."
Omega19x: *sighs* "... Well... this is it..."
Omega19x: "... remember... two hours... That's how long we'll be in there... Unless you... Yami if something bad happens to me... pull both of us out..."
Omega19x: "... there's no way to know... if Malik is or is not in trouble..."
phishschtick: "I know."
Omega19x: "... I don't know if you can sense how much pain I'm in or not... but... Malik said it would be painful in there..."
Omega19x: "... so... don't... just pull me back for that..."
phishschtick: "Mmhm."
Omega19x: *gulps*
Omega19x: "... Malik... Are you ready?"
ph33r my rod: "..." *nods*
Omega19x: "... me... me too..."
Omega19x: "... y..yami... Let us have it..."
Omega19x: "... b..banish us to the shadow realm..."
ph33r my rod: *braces self*
Omega19x: *turns around, so any attack won't hit him in the chest*
phishschtick: *the ring glows and flashes, hitting both Malik and Ryou*
Omega19x: *eeep*
phishschtick: *a blackish purplish light surrounds them, and their bodies collapse as their souls are sent to the shadow realm.*
Omega19x: *inside the shadow realm, they have taken on the forms of their respective ka. They are floating in the darkness*
phishschtick: (*gets popcorn* XD)
Omega19x: (*passes the butter*)
ph33r my rod: (( *props feet up* ))
Omega19x: *it feels so cold. They can hardly see anything but black."
Omega19x: *
Omega19x: "... Malik? You okay?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...uh huh."
Omega19x: (any MST3K you want, kura-puff, go ahead...)
ph33r my rod: (( >D ))
Omega19x: "... we have to find the source... it... it should be close... My yami said he could choose where he wanted to send us..."
phishschtick: (... wha? XD;)
Omega19x: (you said that yesterday, puff)
phishschtick: (I meant the thing before that... I was AFK when you said it. >>;)
Omega19x: (oh. MST3K = thowing in snarky comments.)
phishschtick: (... right-o, then. : D)
Omega19x: *they look around, and see a little hole in the shadows.*
Omega19x: "... what's that?"
ph33r my rod: "...a hole?"
Omega19x: "... It looks like one..."
ph33r my rod: *floats over toward it*
Omega19x: *crouches down, and tries to look inside the hole* "...it's really dark in there..."
Omega19x: "wherever there is..."
ph33r my rod: *nods*
mana magic82 has entered the room.
ph33r my rod: "...should we check it out?"
Omega19x: *before they can do anything, they hear a voice calling their names. Two voices actually*
ph33r my rod: (( *wavewave~* ))
mana magic82: (*wave* Hi~)
phishschtick: (Helloo.)
Omega19x: "Mana, I see something in the darkness. They are here."
Omega19x: (to fill you in, Mahaado and Mana sent part of their ka into the shadow realm to be a search party)
phishschtick: (alrighty.)
Omega19x: *turns around* "Is that... A dark magician, and a dark magician girl? Malik, I think the shadows are playing tricks on our mind again..."
mana magic82: "They're here?"
ph33r my rod: *blink blink*
Omega19x: "We have found them. The priestess will be quite relieved."
mana magic82: "Hello all! Are you alright?"
Omega19x: "Where are your bodies? I can cast a spell to bring you back to them."
phishschtick: (Kura: That's MY job, k?)
Omega19x: "... um... We don't need you to do that, Mahaado... We just got here..."
ph33r my rod: "...uh... yeah, what he said."
mana magic82: "Have you been lost for awhile?"
Omega19x: "Just got here?"
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: "We're going to fight the... the shadow disease... if we can find it..."
ph33r my rod: "If we can find the source, then everything else will go away."
Omega19x: "Where is the darker incarnate? Isn't he missing as well?"
mana magic82: "From the way Mastter Mahaado described it, it sounded scary, this Disease."
Omega19x: "...He's watching over our bodies."
Omega19x: "You've entrusted your mortal vessels to that fiend?"
mana magic82: "Bakura-sama is nice!"
Omega19x: "Have you considered how you are going to get back?"
Omega19x: "Or better yet, when?"
Omega19x: "... a time limit... or... if I'm about to die... Whichever comes first..."
Omega19x: "Really, if you were one of my students, I'd have you expelled. That is the most ridiculous plan I've ever heard of. No spells, no training, no preparation, no communication..."
mana magic82: "Sounds like one of my plans.."
ph33r my rod: "Oh, come on. We've done this before, we can do it again. ...though last time was on a much smaller scale, but that's a minor detail."
Omega19x: "Mana, I want you to follow the trail of energy left by the sennen ring. Have your ka appear in the mortal realm where the dark incarnate is standing."
Omega19x: "I want you to relay communication, and pay close attention to my spirit."
Omega19x: (in other words, a window open to you and Bakura.)
mana magic82: (Okay! ^^)
Omega19x: "That, and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."
Omega19x: "... He won't!"
Omega19x: "And like Malik said... it's a good plan."
phishschtick: (What'm I going to do, go necropheliac on them?)
mana magic82: "I'll make sure Bakura-sama won't do anything odd."
ph33r my rod: (( *dead* ))
Omega19x: (we're not dead yet, yami!)
phishschtick: (Dead, soulless... same difference.)
mana magic82: (Nuh-uh. *shakes head*)
Omega19x: *looks into the hole again, peeking his head through*
phishschtick: (... well, fine. Back to the RP.)
Omega19x: *and falls right in the hole*
ph33r my rod: "Ryou!" *grabs on to him*
Omega19x: *and is pulled inside as well*
ph33r my rod: *eep*
Omega19x: *what they see before them is a chamber that seems about the size of Kaiba Corporation's main offices.*
Omega19x: *the building, not just the offices.*
ph33r my rod: "..." *blinks*
Omega19x: *they fall onto a small bridge, about halfway in the middle of this large chamber. It is broken. Before them, taking up most of the entire chamber, is something resembling a source.*
Omega19x: *more tentatcles than can be counted, more massive than they can even believe...*
Omega19x: *follows them into the hole*
ph33r my rod: "...holy hell."
Omega19x: "oh my ra..."
Omega19x: *gulps*
Omega19x: "...th...that's... that's... oh god..."
Omega19x: "... Malik... how did we attack the last one?"
ph33r my rod: "Uh... we had to attack from the inside."
Omega19x: "... oh dear..."
Omega19x: *In Ryou's lungs, at least, the airways prevented all the tentacles from striking at once. In here, there are no such obstacles. And it has noticed you.*
Omega19x: "... look out! Tentacles!"
ph33r my rod: *eeep*
Omega19x: *jumps back, ready to defend if necessary*
Omega19x: *slips, suddenly realizing that he can't float anymore, almost falling off the bridge*
Omega19x: *he grabs hold with one hand*
Omega19x: "... Malik!"
Omega19x: (hm, I am picturing Kura being annoyed by a Dark Magician Girl right about now...)
Omega19x: (*snicker*)
ph33r my rod: "...shit!" *reaches down and grabs Ryou's hand, trying to pull him back up*
ph33r my rod: (( ... XD ))
phishschtick: (... you're right. >|)
ph33r my rod: (( Art bunny~ ))
Omega19x: (art bunny!!)
phishschtick: (hee~)
Omega19x: "..." *grabs Malik's hand*
mana magic82: (XD Almost.)
ph33r my rod: *finally manages to heave him back up onto the bridge*
Omega19x: *but as he does, a tentacle grabs Ryou, picking him up, and pulling them apart. The pain is so intense, even his mortal body convulses.*
Omega19x: *SCREEAAAAAM*
Omega19x: "Malik, I cannot touch the creature."
Omega19x: "It would only make it stronger!"
Omega19x: *casts a healing spell, trying to help Ryou in that way*
ph33r my rod: *growls and pulls out ZOMGLIGHTSWORD, slashes at the tentacle holding Ryou*
Omega19x: *to create a faint shield of light, to at least lessen the pain, lest his ka be killed*
Omega19x: *the tentacle snaps*
Omega19x: *it recoils, but it doesn't break*
Omega19x: *Ryou falls back onto the bridge, almost fozen in shock*
Omega19x: "Are you all right?"
Omega19x: *nods weakly, and pulls out his wand, to at least keep some of the tentacles at bay*
ph33r my rod: *prepares to attack again if the tentacles come anywhere near them*
Omega19x: *which of course, they do. A full onslaught*
ph33r my rod: "..." *slashes like crazy*
Omega19x: *inside Ryou, if a tentacle was touching someone and you struck it, it died. But not this time.*
Omega19x: *they merely parry your lightsword*
Omega19x: "... This... this is bad..."
ph33r my rod: "...dammit."
Omega19x: "I'm sorry, I can't create a barrier either. It would draw in the power I use."
Omega19x: *gulps* "... we... we've got to get past them... somehow..."
Omega19x: "... and... and into the source..."
Omega19x: *trying to parry the tentacles with his wand, but there are a lot of them. And he's going crazy trying to stop them.*
ph33r my rod: *continues to slash at them, not having much more luck* "This isn't working..."
Omega19x: "... Malik? Are... are you all right?"
Omega19x: *more are coming for him, and even for Mahaado, though he tries to keep a distance.*
Omega19x: *one strikes him, latching on*
Omega19x: *not having much choice, the pain so intense, he strikes it, and falls back*
Omega19x: *the creature wants more*
Omega19x: "... Mahaado..."
ph33r my rod: "...shit, we've got to keep those away from him! They're trying to feed off of his power..."
Omega19x: "I have to fall back."
Omega19x: "...wh...white magic... shining shield... l...level... 10..." *points his wand*
Omega19x: *hey, it worked in Monster World*
Omega19x: *to Ryou's amazement, a forcefield surrounded Mahaado*
Omega19x: *but it is quickly destroyed as the creature grabs hold and Ryou's concentration is broken. The wand falls from his hand onto the bridge*
Omega19x: *scream*
Omega19x: "Light one."
Omega19x: "Malik. Cut him free, then retreat! We need to regroup!"
ph33r my rod: *nods and lunges forward, slashing like crazy*
Omega19x: *Ryou's body falls as the tentacle recoils. He trembles, trying to grab his wand*
Omega19x: "...w...look... out..."
Omega19x: "Back through the hole. I can seal it a little. Buy us a few moments."
Omega19x: *weak nod*
Omega19x: *tries to run and follow Mahaado, but is quite dizzy and disoriented from the last attack.*
ph33r my rod: *wraps an arm around Ryou and holds him steady, following after Mahaado*
Omega19x: *they get through the hole, and he seals it slightly. The tentacles can't follow*
Omega19x: "We must speak quickly. He will draw energy from that seal."
Omega19x: "He wants my power more than yours. It is dark. We can use that to our advantage."
Omega19x: "Given the choice, it comes after me."
Omega19x: *trembles a little, nodding*
Omega19x: "We can use that as a distraction. Light one, if you can do that shield again to protect yourselves, you can get through tentacles while most are after me."
Omega19x: "How do you destroy it?"
ph33r my rod: "We have to get inside of it and destroy the core."
Omega19x: "How do you get in?"
Omega19x: "... um... it was vulnerable when it touched us..."
Omega19x: "... but that didn't happen this time..."
Omega19x: "I think I understand."
Omega19x: "This time, it is not in your world, you are in it's world. We are all shadow spirits in this world. There is no break."
Omega19x: "That, and it is stronger."
Omega19x: "you must try and concentrate all your power on breaking through. Put everything you have into it."
Omega19x: "I will not be able to withstand the tentacles for long. And I may have to pull out."
ph33r my rod: "..." *nods*
Omega19x: "If you can break it somehow, you can get in."
Omega19x: "... any ideas?"
Omega19x: *glances at Malik*
ph33r my rod: *thinks* "...maybe if we can combine our powers, it'll do some damage. Last time, we had that big light attack that happened when we put our swords together..."
Omega19x: (... no dirty thoughts there...)
ph33r my rod: (( XDDDD ))
phishschtick: (*whistles innocently*)
mana magic82: (*looks away* XD)
ph33r my rod: (( Our minds have been corrupted by this RP. :x ))
Omega19x: "... Mahaado, if I asked you to... if that didn't work... Could you pull my body in here?"
Omega19x: "What?"
Omega19x: "um... before, it was shadows, we were shadows, my body was real. Now... all are shadows... so... one has to be real..."
Omega19x: "I most certainly will not. That would kill you."
phishschtick: (Kura: *runs off with it* >| )
Omega19x: "But it might be the only way to break through..."
Omega19x: "Out of the question!"
Omega19x: *looks at Malik*
ph33r my rod: "...Ryou, if your body was pulled in here... we can't risk anything happening to it. You wouldn't have anything to return to..."
Omega19x: "but... I was pulled out of here before... my body too..."
Omega19x: "... kind of..."
Omega19x: "... or would it... wait..."
Omega19x: "It would go into me..."
Omega19x: "And it is likely that plan only worked when the creature was in the mortal realm, forcing it to co-exist in two places at once. Now, that would not be an option."
Omega19x: "then we have tobreak it open.:"
Omega19x: "... we'll... charge at it... with your sword and my wand touching..."
Omega19x: (no dirty thoughts there...)
ph33r my rod: (( ... *idle cough* ))
phishschtick: (*focuses attention on something else~*)
mana magic82: (*sneeze*)
Omega19x: "Very well. I can't hold the seal much longer. We must go now."
Omega19x: "Make a strong shield, but leave energy for your wand."
Omega19x: *nod*
Omega19x: "... Malik... are... are you ready?"
ph33r my rod: "..." *nods*
Omega19x: *releases the seal*
Omega19x: "... shining shield. Level 10..."
Omega19x: *grabs on to Malik's hand, and together, they all start to charge.*
Omega19x: *it goes as predicted, the tentacles fly for the dark magician before they fly for Ra or the white wizard*
Omega19x: *tries to dodge them for as long as he can*
ph33r my rod: *charges and whatnot*
Omega19x: *tentacles finally grab him*
Omega19x: *charge*
Omega19x: *they run and run, getting closer to the creature*
Omega19x: *and before they know what's going on, they run right inside of it.*
Omega19x: *still entangled in the tentacles, he tries to blast free, but cannot*
Omega19x: *Ryou stops running, the shield still intact. He blinks*
ph33r my rod: "...uh?"
Omega19x: "... um..."
Omega19x: *able to no longer see them, Mahaado knows they must have gotten inside, and he pulls his ka back to the mortal realm*
Omega19x: "... we're ... inside..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...this is it."
Omega19x: *weak nod*
Omega19x: "... I... it's hard to keep the... this shield up..."
Omega19x: "I... don't have a lot of magic energy... I don't think..."
ph33r my rod: "... Then we'd better make this quick."
Omega19x: *nod*
Omega19x: "... can you see the... the core anywhere?"
Omega19x: "this thing is so big... it could be anywhere in here..."
ph33r my rod: *looks around, floats forward a bit* "...nothing yet."
Omega19x: "... we'll have to put... our weapons in the core... and... and attack that way... right?"
Omega19x: *floats, holding the shield steady*
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "... then I will have to let the shield go... when we get there...
Omega19x: It'll... hurt..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *gulps and nods again*
Omega19x: "... put... like Mahaado said, all of your power into the lightsword..."
Omega19x: "... but... not enough to... well... kill us... or something... right?"
Omega19x: *keeps floating, looking as hard as he can*
ph33r my rod: "Right..." *squints*
Omega19x: *finally sees something pulsating* "... over there..."
ph33r my rod: *floats toward it*
Omega19x: *deep inside the creature, something pulsates. It almost glows with the energy it receives from little cloned sources all around the world*
mana magic82 has left the room.
mana magic82 has entered the room.
mana magic82: (evil connection)
Omega19x: "... okay... get the... the weapons ready..." *are close enough to the core that they can feel it*
Omega19x: *holds out his wand*
ph33r my rod: *holds out sword*
ph33r my rod: (( *coughhack* ))
Omega19x: "... this is... this is going to... to sting..."
Omega19x: (god, now even mine sound perverted.)
phishschtick: (*snicker*)
Omega19x: "... wh...when I count to three... I'll drop the shield... and... and we penetrate it..."
Omega19x: "... one..."
Omega19x: "... two..."
Omega19x: *gulps* "...th..three..."
Omega19x: *as the shield goes down, the full force of the source's power attacks their ka. The agony they feel is immeasurable. As their bodies on the outside show, to the point of burns even appearing all over their flesh*
Omega19x: *screaming, as he pushes his hand into the core, with the wand in it, trying to force all his energy through it*
ph33r my rod: *ditto*
Omega19x: "...m...ore..."
ph33r my rod: *puts in as much power as he can*
Omega19x: *ditto*
Omega19x: (while I try to help Mana reconnect to this room, her comp is spazzing)
Omega19x: (stupid other comps)
Omega19x: (that spazz)
ph33r my rod: (( DX ))
mana magic82 has left the room.
Omega19x: (one moment please...)
mana magic82 has entered the room.
Omega19x: (pictures Kura spazzing too.)
Omega19x: *forcing himself to do more* "... m..ust... k..p... g..ng..."
phishschtick: (Harder, Ryou! HARDER! *shot at*)
Omega19x: (the day you say that...)
ph33r my rod: (( *dead* ))
mana magic82: (*falls over*)
ph33r my rod: *groans, also forcing himself*
Omega19x: *they force harder, the strain evident on their physical bodies as well.When suddenly, the core explodes*
Omega19x: *the dark shadow matter flies everywhere, sending both of their ka flying into the shadows.*
Omega19x: *their spirits are alive, but weak*
Omega19x: *And Mahaado, after a few minutes, makes his way back into the shadow realm*
Omega19x: "Are you all right?"
Omega19x: *the shadows felt like walls when they hit, after all, they were merely in a vortex in the shadow realm. And the vortex existed in a concrete space.*
Omega19x: *that chamber.*
Omega19x: *yay for butchered laws of physics*
ph33r my rod: *w00t*
Omega19x: *groans*
ph33r my rod: *mutters several profanities in some weird mix of Arabic/Egyptian/Japanese/wtfever*
Omega19x: (lol)
Omega19x: *can hardly move* "... is... is it gone?"
Omega19x: "It is gone."
ph33r my rod: "...oh thank Ra." *twitches*
Omega19x: "I was worried. Your ka are very powerful, to defeat a beast such as that."
mana magic82: *finds her way back into the Shadows*
ph33r my rod: (( You don't get much more powerful than Ra... :x ))
Omega19x: "It was strength vs strength."
mana magic82: "Is everyone alright, I have come to help? Hello?"
Omega19x: "Mana, good, you were able to trace your path quickly."
Omega19x: "As I said before, their spirits are alive, but weak. Too Weak to make the journey out of here."
ph33r my rod: "...guh."
Omega19x: "My spirit is also fatigued, but yours is not. Use some of your power, and cast a healing spell."
Omega19x: "Do not use too much, do not drain more than a third of your own power."
Omega19x: "that is a good safe rule."
Omega19x: "for now."
Omega19x: *glances up* "... is... is it gone for good?"
mana magic82: *Closes her eyes, taking her wand and a few chosen words to use some of her power to heal first Ryou, and then Malik*
mana magic82: "Is that good?"
ph33r my rod: *can actually move... somewhat*
mana magic82: "I think I used a little much, though, Master..."
Omega19x: *stretches* "... is... is it gone?"
Omega19x: "Do not worry. You did not use too much over the limit."
ph33r my rod: "...uh huh."
Omega19x: "good..."
mana magic82: (I have to leave..so Mana's leaving. Her concentration will be broken. XD)
Omega19x: (kay)
Omega19x: (Mahaado praises your good work)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay, byebye~ ))
mana magic82: *in her body, she feels something jump into her lap* "Muffin? Hey!" *loses concentration fully to play with her cat*
phishschtick: (bye~!)
mana magic82: (XD Bye~~)
mana magic82 has left the room.
ph33r my rod: (( That shows where Mana's priorities are... ;D ))
Omega19x: (heh)
Omega19x: (maybe mahaado isn't proud)
ph33r my rod: "...guh. Any chance of getting out of here anytime soon...?"
Omega19x: "... yes... please?"
phishschtick: (Time for on-cue stuff...)
Omega19x: "My spirit is weak. Your time limit should almost be up anyway. And the fiend can probably pull you out."
Omega19x: "I must return to my apprentice."
Omega19x: "I will need to rest from this encounter, as will you."
ph33r my rod: "...thanks for the help."
Omega19x: "You will likely be quite exhausted."
Omega19x: *bows slightly* "for the bearer of the ka of the mighty sun god, it is an honor."
Omega19x: *mahaado waits, to make sure they get out okay before leaving himself*
phishschtick: *a light just like the one that surrounded them when they were sent in appears again, and they are brought back to their bodies*
Omega19x: *and out of the shadow realm*
ph33r my rod: *groans*
Omega19x: *groans*
Omega19x: *weakly sits up, feeling sore, but suprisingly quite well. Given everything.*
Omega19x: *Malik's body weakly sits up, that is.*
ph33r my rod: *mutters to self, feeling... not so good** "...fuckfuckfuck..."
phishschtick: *sitting behind them, not really saying anything*
Omega19x: *blinks* "... um... very funny yami..." *blinks again... why is he seeing two Bakurae?*
ph33r my rod: *coughs and sits up*
Omega19x: *and why is one of them himself*
phishschtick: "..."
ph33r my rod: *looks over at Ryou, blinking when he sees... himself* "...uh?"
Omega19x: *blink blink*
phishschtick: (...oh god. *snicker*)
ph33r my rod: *feels a sudden shock in his chest* "What the fuck?"
Omega19x: *looks down, and sees khaki pants, and tan skin* "... oh dear..."
phishschtick: *blinks, looking between the two of them. He then realizes what's wrong* "... oops."
Omega19x: "...I'm... um... inside... Malik's body?"
ph33r my rod: *looks down at self, pulls a chunk of hair into view, blinks* ".....................................what."
Omega19x: *thankfully for all of them, the burns are slowly fading*
Omega19x: *though both still feel fatigued from the battle in the shadow realm*
phishschtick: (A certain Freddie quote from a certain Scooby Doo movie is coming to mind... >>; )
Omega19x: (I've never seen it. what quote?)
ph33r my rod: (( ...? *never saw that movie* ))
phishschtick: (When he ends up in Daphne's body and he's like, "Wow... I can look at myself naked~!")
ph33r my rod: (( ... *dead* ))
Omega19x: (ROFL)
phishschtick: (*snicker*)
ph33r my rod: (( Okay, that's just funny. ))
Omega19x: (yeah. let's leave us like this for a little while, at least till after we get back to domino city, and can confuse/surprise everyone...)
ph33r my rod: (( *snickersnort* ))
phishschtick: (Snerk, ok.)
Omega19x: "... um... Malik? Is that you... in... in there?"
Omega19x: *pokes his own arm*
ph33r my rod: "...uh huh." *tries to push himself up but fails miserably, feels much weaker than usual... which is understandable...*
phishschtick: *trying not to laugh, because it is funny*
Omega19x: *is amazed that he can a) draw a full breath. b) feel no shocks in his chest. c) feel not so weak. d) feel not so sick. e) all of the above*
Omega19x: *stands up, a little tired*
phishschtick: *just smirks.*
ph33r my rod: *suddenly feels very sympathetic toward Ryou - minus the obvious fatigue from the battle, is this... how he feels all the time?*
Omega19x: "... Malik?"
Omega19x: "... are... are you okay?"
ph33r my rod: "...could be better."
Omega19x: *realizes how great he suddenly feels compared to normal, and suddenly realizes how horrible Malik must feel*
Omega19x: "... I'm... oh dear... I'm sorry...'
ph33r my rod: *finally manages to push himself up, not used to feeling this weak*
Omega19x: *helps Malik... um... himself... um... Malik... uh... up.*
ph33r my rod: *leans into... uh... himself!Ryou... in order to steady himself* "...any chance of finding civilization of some kind?"
Omega19x: "... or maybe going home?"
Omega19x: "... yami?"
phishschtick: *blinks, because Malik just called him 'yami'...* "Yeah?"
ph33r my rod: (( Ryou!Malik: ...fuck, I'm tired. | Bakura: *blinks, because Ryou just swore* ))
ph33r my rod: (( *shot* ))
Omega19x: "... any idea... how to... um... get home?"
Omega19x: *still supporting himself!Malik*
phishschtick: (XD)
phishschtick: "Well you did say that there was a flight ban because of the didease, did you not?"
phishschtick: *disease
Omega19x: *nods*
ph33r my rod: "...aw hell."
phishschtick: (No, he doesn't have a cold... >>; )
phishschtick: "So other than that... not really?"
Omega19x: (just an itchy ring finger on that left hand)
ph33r my rod: "Well... if we got rid of the source, then all of the other diseased people should start getting better... and then they'll lift the ban, right?"
Omega19x: "... it'll be weeks before they... they probably lift the ban... though... They'll want to make sure..."
ph33r my rod: "...fuck."
Omega19x: (heh, Ryou just cursed!)
phishschtick: *...blink*
ph33r my rod: (( *giggle* ))
Omega19x: "... I wonder if Mahaado could have sent us home..."
ph33r my rod: "...wish the Tauk had followed us here."
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
phishschtick: "Probably not."
Omega19x: "but they might know where we are, and tell others? Did you tell Mana where we are?"
phishschtick: *thinks* "... no. Though if we're at the source, it's obvious we're in Egypt."
phishschtick: "I'm going to trust she isn't stupid enough to not be able to figure that out."
Omega19x: "I hope she tells someone...
Omega19x: "... if we could cross the nation's borders by foot, we might be able to fly from another country... but... that would be hard to do..."
ph33r my rod: "...no telling how far we are from the border." *shudders at the thought of walking long distances*
phishschtick: "And we didn't exactly come with money, either."
Omega19x: *reaches into Malik's pockets* "... no..."
Omega19x: ".. oh... sorry..."
ph33r my rod: "...uh."
ph33r my rod: (( Malik's pockets, or Malik-in-Ryou's-body's pockets? ))
Omega19x: (Ryou in Malik's body pockets)
ph33r my rod: (( I was about to say... :x ))
Omega19x: (just because he's in your body doesn't make him a pervert...)
Omega19x: (inner!MalikinRyou'sBody: Opening my pockets will not get me naked!)
ph33r my rod: (( ...er, okay. XD; More like I'd half-expect Ryou to because he's uh... at times he can be not all there? *reminded of the whole "spilled red sauce in Malik's lap" thing a while back* ))
Omega19x: (not all there, thanks...)
ph33r my rod: (( You know what I mean. DX ))
ph33r my rod: (( Bah. Forget it. x.x; ))
Omega19x: (tee hee hee)
Omega19x: (though I have to get ready to go to some family friends' house for new years eve.)
ph33r my rod: (( So I take it we'll be stuck here for a while. :x ))
Omega19x: (I say try to get a message to Seto. If anyone can land in a banned area, it's that blue eyes whtie jet...)
Omega19x: (but we should figure out something)
Omega19x: (that, or find some food.)
Omega19x: (this is modern day egypt.)
ph33r my rod: (( Or at least find a town with internet access. :x ))
Omega19x: (and let's try not to end up in foreign jails, kura...)
phishschtick: (... stfu. ><)
Omega19x: (don;t make me make Ryou in Malik's body hug you.)
phishschtick: (Inner!Kura: ....ewewewewewewewewew.)
phishschtick: (<3)
Omega19x: (... but yami...)
Omega19x: (and to hear that in Malik's voice... lol)
ph33r my rod: (( Either way it'll be Malik hugging him, whether it's his body or his mind. ;D ))
Omega19x: (so how does it feel to be inside Ryou, Malik?)
Omega19x: (*SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOT)
ph33r my rod: (( ............................................ ))
phishschtick: ( ...*was so going to have Kura ask that...* XD)
Omega19x: (does it hurt?)
ph33r my rod: (( It'd probably go right over Malik's head... ))
phishschtick: ( Likely. Hee.)
ph33r my rod: (( And then he'll be all like "...OHHHHHHHHH. WTF." ))
Omega19x: (Look, Ryou's in Malik's pants!)
phishschtick: (Again!)
Omega19x: (and then some.)
ph33r my rod: (( *contemplates having Malik pass out just so Ryou can carry him for once* ))
Omega19x: (rolf)
Omega19x: (*rofl)
phishschtick: ( d'aww.)
Omega19x: (hmm... Ryou's body, exhausted, in a desert, and still slightly ill. how long will that last anyway?)
Omega19x: (plus no food for about a day, and probably not much water yet either)
Omega19x: (I'd say conditions are prime for passing out)
Omega19x: (and I would know.)
Omega19x: (Ryou = expert at that)
ph33r my rod: (( Oh yes. ))
phishschtick: (Lol.)
Omega19x: (so Malik gets to feel what it's like to be Ryou. Heh. I find this idea so amusing.)
ph33r my rod: (( On the other hand, Ryou gets to find out what it's like to be relatively healthy (given the situation) for once... ))
Omega19x: (I think he's a little unnerved still about the lack of pain and shocking feeling.)
Omega19x: (It's not normal, I tell you. Not normal!)
ph33r my rod: (( Nope. ))
ph33r my rod: (( Poor Malik, though. XD ))
Omega19x: (and I doubt Ryou was carrying any drugs in his pockets?)
ph33r my rod: (( Probably not. ))
ph33r my rod: "..." *suddenly goes limp within himself!Ryou's grasp, unable to stand any longer*
Omega19x: *eep!*
phishschtick: *glances*
Omega19x: *catches himself!Malik, unnerved at how light his own body feels*
Omega19x: "... Malik!"
Omega19x: "... oh dear..."
Omega19x: "... oh... in... in my body, I wouldn't be surprised... And in this heat..."
ph33r my rod: *still conscious, but just barely* "...heh... now I know how you feel..."
Omega19x: "... yami, we need to find some kind of food or water... we really do..."
Omega19x: "... maybe... an inn somewhere?"
phishschtick: "Shouldn't be too hard..."
Omega19x: "Is there anything built up around these ruins? or... are we in the middle of the desert?"
phishschtick: "I haven't been here in three thousand years, Ma - Ryou. I don't know." *shifts a bit*
Omega19x: *picks up himself!Malik, amazed that he has such strength in this body, and climbs up the steps of the underground temple*
Omega19x: "... d..desert..."
Omega19x: *some stones surround where buildings once were, and the faint remnants of an archeological dig that was left unattended for years. But other than that, desert*
Omega19x: "... oh dear..."
phishschtick: *eyes pass over the ruins of what was once his home...* "..."
ph33r my rod: *weakly looks around, squinting at the bright sunlight* "...damn."
Omega19x: *glances at his yami, and would hug him, were his arms not full of... himself...*
Omega19x: "... yami... do you remember which way... the Nile was?"
Omega19x: "Most the people and bigger cities would be along the Nile, even today."
Omega19x: "if it wasn't far, we can't be too far out..."
phishschtick: "It's not..." *trying to remember where exactly they are and where exactly the Nile is*
Omega19x: "... Malik... Just... try and stay with me, please..."
Omega19x: "Can we walk there, yami?"
ph33r my rod: *nods weakly, resting his head on himself!Ryou's shoulder*
phishschtick: *nods*
Omega19x: *feels so worried... which must be how Malik always feels*
Omega19x: "It... it must only be a few miles away... We're probably on the end of the desert..."
Omega19x: *magical walklapse*
Omega19x: *hours pass, and after walking so very long, in the blistering heat, they come across a highway. Civilization.*
ph33r my rod: *struggling to stay awake*
Omega19x: *after a short while, a truck comes speeding down the highway*
Omega19x: "...look!"
Omega19x: "... maybe they'll stop! maybe they'll stop!"
ph33r my rod: *glances up, vision quite blurry* "..."
Omega19x: "... yami, can you flag them down?"
Omega19x: *holds Malik close*
phishschtick: (Kura: *walks out into the middle of the road*)
Omega19x: *the truck slows to a stop*
Omega19x: *spoken in Arabic* "what the hell are you fellows doing out here?"
Omega19x: *looks down at Malik and then at his yami*
Omega19x: (can Yami Bakura speak modern Arabic?)
phishschtick: (sure.)
Omega19x: (or just Malik?)
Omega19x: (yay!)
phishschtick: *wow... hasn't done this in a while* "Listen, we need a lift."
Omega19x: *trucker agrees to take them down to Luxor, the closest big city, and being so kind and generous, even gives them money for a night stay in a small inn*
phishschtick: *cool*
Omega19x: *smiles*
ph33r my rod: *w00t*
Omega19x: *Ryou takes himself!Malik inside, and to the room they managed to get*
Omega19x: "... We'd all better rest for now... get something to eat... and to drink..."
ph33r my rod: *weak nod*
Omega19x: *gets a cold compress for himself!Malik, who is on the bed*
Omega19x: *since he's probably really hot and dehydrated by now*
Omega19x: (and I need to go take a shower, since I was supposed tobe off here a nhour and twenty minutes ago)
Omega19x: (I'll be back on after I'm done getting ready)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. ))
phishschtick: ('kay. ^^)
Omega19x: (back. with pocky)
ph33r my rod: (( 8D w00t ))
phishschtick: (... lucky.)
Omega19x: (tee hee)
Omega19x: (and Malik-kun, you were right. Not all Pocky is chocolate)
ph33r my rod: (( What kind is it? ))
Omega19x: (some pocky contains no chocolate at all. Milk Pocky)
ph33r my rod: (( Oh yeah, that. ))
phishschtick: (I've only ever had strawberry...)
Omega19x: (I'm a slow pocky eater, kay. That's pocky leftover from yesterday)
ph33r my rod: (( ... *still has three boxes from like forever ago* ))
Omega19x: (and that contains no chocolate either)
Omega19x: (I wanted to try strawberry, but the store was all out. I could hardly believe it.)
phishschtick: (that's cause it's so good~)
ph33r my rod: (( I wanna find cheesecake again. I think that's my favorite~ D: ))
Omega19x: (must be. I'll try the other asian market. They might have some.)
Omega19x: (the one where we'll be eating on my birthday, Usagi.)
ph33r my rod: (( ...w00t. 8D ))
Omega19x: (so bring money for stuff. Like bowling, and shopping)
phishschtick: (When IS your birthday, anyway?)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. ))
Omega19x: (wishes Kura-puff would come too)
Omega19x: (but kura-puff is too far away...
Omega19x: January 15.)
phishschtick: (*wishes she could come~* D: )
phishschtick: (Ah, k. =D)
Omega19x: (hence the planning.)
phishschtick: (Yeah, I figured it was soonish.)
Omega19x: (yup)
Omega19x: (so back to the rp?)
ph33r my rod: (( *nodnod* ))
phishschtick: (*nod~*)
Omega19x: *looks at the money they still have left after getting the room. And tummy growls* "... yami... Would you go bring us back some food?"
Omega19x: "... It's weird... I have a strange craving for strawberry pocky..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *small smirk*
phishschtick: "...right." *gets up and heads off to get foodstuffs*
Omega19x: *turns back to himself!Malik.* "... how are you feeling?"
ph33r my rod: "...tired, weak, hot, in pain... nothing too bad..."
Omega19x: *helps him sit up, and passes a glass of ice water*
Omega19x: "... oh... I'm sorry... this is... all my fault..."
ph33r my rod: *takes it and drinks slowly*
Omega19x: "... good... don't drink too fast... knowing my body, you'll get sick..."
ph33r my rod: *looks down at the glass, idly poking at the ice inside* "...is this how you've been feeling... all this time?"
Omega19x: "... w..what do you mean?"
Omega19x: (no, you're having an ice fetish, in my body!)
ph33r my rod: "...weak, constantly in pain..."
Omega19x: "... oh..."
Omega19x: "... m..most of the time... It's not that bad really... when you get used to it."
Omega19x: "you can work through the weakness part... and... and the soreness... is mainly related to the pneumonia... but yeah... my whole body does ache... from time to time... The shocks, you get used to too..."
Omega19x: "It's rather frightening... not having them... in here..." *feels his chest, on Malik's body*
ph33r my rod: *drinks a little more, not really knowing what to say* "..."
Omega19x: "... don't worry... soon, we'll probably be back in our own bodies... and... and everything will be fine..."
Omega19x: *honestly, though, he hasn't had this much energy since he was a child.*
ph33r my rod: *looks up at him* "...this is probably the healthiest you've felt in a long time, huh?"
Omega19x: "... y..yeah... it is."
ph33r my rod: *small smile* "...then I guess some good came out of the whole body switch thing."
Omega19x: "... but you're... like that... You don't deserve that..."
Omega19x: *blushes as his stomach growls again* "are you... always this hungry?"
ph33r my rod: "Well... we have been without food for a while..."
Omega19x: "... or am I just used to being unconscious for... for days at a time, and not getting any food..."
ph33r my rod: "...probably."
Omega19x: "... I wonder how long my yami will take..."
Omega19x: "hopefully there was something nearby..."
ph33r my rod: *nodnod*
Omega19x: "... do... do you need anything else?"
Omega19x: ".. a... another cold compress? More water? anything?"
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "...food, water, and a long rest, and I'll be all set."
Omega19x: *smile*
Omega19x: "... it... feels weird to... be caring for... myself..."
ph33r my rod: *smirk* "...felt kinda weird to be carried by myself."
Omega19x: "You're... really strong, Malik... I... I could pick you... um... me... up easily..."
ph33r my rod: "That and you're pretty light..."
Omega19x: "... I... I could carry you and... and still not be tired..."
Omega19x: "If... if I tried that... in my body, I don't think I could even lift myself..."
Omega19x: (OMG, you know that thing I was talking about months ago, about immersion and character level? It was Bartle who said it!! I remember now!)
ph33r my rod: (( ...'kay. *has no idea what you're talking about* ))
phishschtick: (I remember what you're talking about, but... who now?)
Omega19x: (Bartle, a video game researcher. No wonder I couldn't find the quote, it just occured to me that it was in the book I sold back.)
Omega19x: (come on, this is one of those moments where you remember something at the least likely moment when it's no longer important.)
ph33r my rod: (( *ded* XDDD ))
phishschtick: (I do that allll the time. XD)
ph33r my rod: (( It's happened to me too, yes. ))
Omega19x: (and I just had to share it. Now on with the regularly scheduled rp.)
Omega19x: "... I feel like the strongest man alive in here..." *smiles, a little embarrassed at the idea*
ph33r my rod: *smirk* "I'd imagine so, compared to what you normally feel like."
ph33r my rod: (( Heh... Ryou smirking... don't see that every day. ))
Omega19x: (nope)
ph33r my rod: *finishes off the glass of water, feeling a bit better than he did before, but still pretty crappy*
Omega19x: *smiles* "... I'm... kind of afraid I'll crush you... um... me... though... You've got such strong hands... and... yeah..."
Omega19x: *blushes*
phishschtick: *comes back~?*
ph33r my rod: *with food, hopefully~?*
phishschtick: *of course~*
Omega19x: *yes please*
Omega19x: "... yami!"
Omega19x: *smiles, bouncing up to greet him*
Omega19x: *barely knows what to do with all the energy he suddenly has, even after the fight*
Omega19x: (a tired Malik is energetic compared to a normal Ryou.)
ph33r my rod: (( Yep. XD ))
phishschtick: (Hehe.)
phishschtick: *short smile, puts the food on one of the conveniently placed tables*
Omega19x: "... what'd you bring?"
Omega19x: (and thanks to the americanization of societies everywhere, it's probably WacDonalds...)
ph33r my rod: (( ... *ded* ))
phishschtick: (Lol.)
phishschtick: "Some of that fast-food crap." *gestures at it* "It was the only decently priced thing around."
ph33r my rod: "At least it's food."
Omega19x: *nodnod*
phishschtick: *sits down* "Yep."
Omega19x: *opens one package, which has a hamburger, then sets it down* "... malik? This... this is your body... Is it wrong if I eat meat in it?"
ph33r my rod: "...I'd be hungry enough to eat pretty much anything right now."
Omega19x: "... okay..." *digs in*
ph33r my rod: *ditto*
phishschtick: *same*
Omega19x: "... thank you so much for getting food, yami..."
phishschtick: *shrug*
ph33r my rod: *nod* "...yeah, thanks."
Omega19x: "... it tastes good... for fast food... Probably because we're all so hungry."
ph33r my rod: *nods and eats*
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: (we're getting ready to go though, so now I have to go. But since we're at an inn, we can probably post in our journals)
ph33r my rod: (( Quite likely. ))
phishschtick: (Yeah. I've gotta babysit soon, so...)
phishschtick: (I probably wouldn't be on much longer, either.)
Omega19x: (kay)
ph33r my rod: (( That was pretty fun, though. :D ))
