video- second death. rifulplot!

[bloodshedlament]

She sighs.

"That's a very good attempt, on your part-- really very impressive, all things considered! But you should just stop it now. Fighting on won't do you any good, you know."

[The video chimes in to show Souji covered in blood. His breathing is ragged and there isn't much else one can see aside from blood also covering his mouth. Suddenly

[oh dear god

was that.. Miss Riful? But no, it wouldn't be. Would it.]

S.. Souji...?

[nomnomguts]

[nope, nevarr.

Actually doesn't respond to this because... she's wondering if he's caught on. Just some creepy light breathing on this end.]

[whiteduplicity]

[a little. maybe. as much as he'd like to remain blissfully unaware of everything bad ever...

he manages to pluck up some courage; if only for souji's sake.]

Who's there?

[nomnomguts]

[Pause pause pause, and she's considering. Not really out of any desire to protect nice!Bakura's feelings, unfortunately, but because she wonders if this will jeopardize her ...other... alliance.

Ah well, the other seems to have his own measure of control, after all.]

Hello, Bakura~ ♥

[whiteduplicity]

[...] H-Hello, Miss Riful.

... What are you doing? [hoping to god she'll say something like "helping him, i found him all nommed and stuff"

but that seems way too much to hope for]

[nomnomguts]

Now, the answer to that should be quite obvious, don't you think?

[oh bakura :< She just sighs, kindasortanot apologetic and stuff.]

Ah, I'm sorry~ I'm sure this must come as a shock to you.

[whiteduplicity]

[JUST A LITTLE BIT OF ONE SOB. he's quiet for some moments, though. and the next question isn't really in response to what she has said, but rather to everything]

Why?

[nomnomguts]

[not... giving much of an answer fff she's kind of stringing him along right now]

All things must eat.

[whiteduplicity]

So everything was a facade?

[nomnomguts]

Now, that's not what I said. [Her smile is very nearly audible.] I like you, Bakura, really I do~ ♥

[whiteduplicity]

[have a very long silence, Riful]

I don't understand.

[nomnomguts]

It isn't necessary that you do. [Creepy, isn't it?]

[whiteduplicity]

[yyy]

.. I hope that maybe one day I can.

[nomnomguts]

[creepcreep]

Ah, perhaps in time! And perhaps you already do, although you don't realize it~

[whiteduplicity]

[ ...

:| not sure if he likes that implication there ]

[/so innocent really 0:3]

Hmm?
