Omega19x (8:01:03 PM): Ryou sat nervously in the living room sipping lemonade through a straw. "Yami... I... I'm scared..."
Omega19x (8:04:54 PM): "I don't know what to do about... about the muffin mafia... I... I went to Domino Police, and they said that Jello's dead... and... and that this is all probably just some prank... but... but I... I don't think it is..."
phishschtick (8:06:28 PM): Bakura, still in a body that didn't belong to him, sat back on the sofa. "It's getting rather ridiculous."
Omega19x (8:07:30 PM): "If it's a prank... It's... it's a good one... The... the notes were strapped to bricks of solid chocolate... real chocolate... not store-bought chocolate. Baker's chocolate... It's expensive!"
phishschtick (8:12:11 PM): He nodded, thinking.
Omega19x (8:15:17 PM): "I've only seen those kind of bars come straight out of a factory..." Ryou shivered. "The muffin mafia has a lot of connections they say... they probably own at least a couple factories..."
phishschtick (8:22:27 PM): "How do you know that, just because he may or may not be dead, that the rest of the ... um, muffin mafia would cease their activities?"
Omega19x (8:23:26 PM): "... I... I doubt they would... I mean... that's why there's lots of people in the mafia, right? Anyone could be using Jello's name..."
phishschtick (8:26:20 PM): "Exactly my point."
Omega19x (8:27:37 PM): "But if it really is the Muffin Mafia... then... then I... I'm in real danger, aren't I..." Ryou shivered, biting his straw.
phishschtick (8:28:21 PM): Bakura considered Ryou for a long moment. "I suppose you are."
Omega19x (8:28:47 PM): "... Do you know anything about the mafia?"
phishschtick (8:31:24 PM): "No."
Omega19x (8:32:42 PM): "... oh..." Ryou looked down. "I know you've had... um... experiences... with other criminal types..."
phishschtick (8:33:04 PM): "Mm."
Omega19x (8:34:38 PM): "What should I do?"
Omega19x (8:39:41 PM): "... I... I don't want them to run Creamylicious out of business!!"
phishschtick (8:41:37 PM): "I suppose it wouldn't help if I suggested finding them and killing them."
Omega19x (8:42:13 PM): "I... I don't think I... I could... k..kill them... but... but if I found them... the police would have to go after them, right?"
phishschtick (8:43:26 PM): "Probably."
Omega19x (8:43:56 PM): "Then... then I have to find them..." Ryou put his fist down. "I can't be a scaredy puff... Creamylicious depends on it!"
phishschtick (8:44:15 PM): "Then by all means."
Omega19x (8:45:35 PM): "... wh... where should I start?"
Omega19x (9:00:45 PM): Ryou looked up at his yami with a pleading look on his face.
phishschtick (9:01:58 PM): Bakura took a deep breath, sighed. "This would be easier if I had my own body -- I ... know some people. I could ask."
Omega19x (9:03:03 PM): "...who?"
Omega19x (9:03:24 PM): "I kind of look like you... well... like you did, of course."
phishschtick (9:10:39 PM): He looked as if he were about to stem the question right there, but he considers. "I'm not sure if that would be wise."
Omega19x (9:14:01 PM): "... oh... y..yeah... probably not..." Ryou sunk into the chair. "I wish I had some clues... Something to go on..."
phishschtick (9:22:03 PM): "All you have to go off of are the bricks, correct?"
Omega19x (9:23:20 PM): "Yeah... Ryuuzaki said he didn't see anything else when the window broke..."
Omega19x (9:28:00 PM): "There were the notes too... I still have them..."
phishschtick (9:29:42 PM): "Surprisingly little, then."
Omega19x (9:32:37 PM): "And the picture Yuugi took wasn't of Mello. The... the police said he was just a thug who called himself Rash. Not anyone in the Muffin Mafia..."
phishschtick (9:34:29 PM): "Hmm."
Omega19x (9:36:45 PM): Ryou just looked up at his yami. "...?"
phishschtick (9:49:20 PM): "Where was this picture taken?"
Omega19x (9:50:24 PM): "... Yuugi said it was taken outside my shop.. after we closed... He said he was looking to buy donuts... That he had a gun, but that he left... not making any trouble."
phishschtick (9:51:01 PM): "Might be unrelated."
Omega19x (9:51:13 PM): "Yeah... I... I think you're right."
phishschtick (9:54:16 PM): "Mm."
Omega19x (9:54:31 PM): "... Mokuba said his window was broken with a chocolate brick too..."
phishschtick (9:55:03 PM): "Yes, I heard. I'd almost like to believe that he did it himself for the attention."
Omega19x (9:55:24 PM): "He says I did it..."
phishschtick (9:55:54 PM): "Of course he would."
phishschtick (9:56:17 PM): "Did you?" He looked at him flatly, raising an eyebrow. He knew the answer.
Omega19x (10:11:40 PM): "I... Of course not!!!"
phishschtick (10:11:51 PM): "There you go."
Omega19x (10:13:24 PM): "... At first I thought he did it... since he said he'd call off the mafia if he got to be puff of the month... But then the second brick came trough my window... and Jello seemed to be upset that I was talking about it... or that I told someone... maybe Mokuba did something..."
