( a_facility ) ≠ relationships
Here are some of the people Bakura has interacted with and who've left an impression on him, whether good, bad, or otherwise. Sometimes the listed opinions will seem contradictory, but Bakura's a random sort of guy.
◉ = You infuriate me! I will rip your eyeballs from their sockets if the opportunity arises.
◉ = I will be cruel to you for my own gain, and not care for your state of mind.
◉ = I find something about you useful, and therefore will exploit that aspect of you.
◉ = Something about you has an admirable quality; I respect skill where it's due.
◉ = Annoyingly, I feel as though I owe you something; this debt must be settled soon.
◉ = I feel as though I must keep you from falling into harm; but don't mistake it for care!
◉ = Something about you is nostalgic; you make me yearn for lost things.
◉ = I acknowledge your existence but otherwise you're not interesting to me.
◉ = I feel inclined to treat you with some measure of amiability.
◉ = As have few things managed in this existence, you make me feel fear.
◉ = Your stupidity amuses me, and therefore I will mock you endlessly.
◉ = I don't know what to make of you; you confuse me, and I dislike it.
ALEX FORBES | LIKE MINDS
"This one likes getting into the business of others, exchanging barbs and tossing around empty threats. I don't find him much of a challenge to mock, but targets in this place are slim. He's still unaware that his dutiful allegiance to Suki let me rob her blind as she was dying, but I'm saving that knowledge up for when I desire some entertainment."
◉ ◉
ASAGAMI FUJINO | KARA NO KYOKAI
"She may have originally been a random target for my demonstration, but I suspect the things I awoke will have lasting repercussions. This girl has an unsteady mind, but it's hard to tell at this point whether it caused her to kill or is because of it. Her behaviour since then has swung like a pendulum until I'm not even sure which is the truth."
◉ ◉
HARY DRESDEN | THE DRESDEN FILES
"This tall obelisk of a man is a mage which is reason enough to distrust him immediately. He acts benign but I think there is more darkness inside of him than he wants to admit. Unfortunately he's also as perceptive as he is tall and I dislike how easily he read me. He could be useful if I want to recover my shadow magic, but only if he can be kept at a suitable distance."
◉ ◉ ◉
JOKER | THE DARK KNIGHT
"A madman, but a useful one for the moment. Although I may owe him a favour repaid for now, I'll find a way to make it benefit me as well. For your own sake, he'd better not try to double-cross these business dealings."
◉ ◉
LAVI | D-GRAY MAN
"One of my suitemates, he seems of good temper. Not much seems to trouble him and even during experiments he rarely gets upset that I can tell. He says he studies history so I would think he's a scribe, but something about that doesn't seem to fit. Still, he knows sennet and has treated me well, so I guess I don't mind him too much."
◉ ◉ ◉
LUCY / NYUU | ELFEN LIED
"A girl with two personalities, as different as those of mine and my ex-host. One's infinitely easier to manipulate than the other, but it's been great fun playing one off the other thus far. However I have plans for bringing this antagonism to a head, and I will be patient to see them through."
◉ ◉
MAKA ALBARN | SOUL EATER
"I believe she is a modern saew-seba since she can see souls and for that, I do not trust her. However she seems competent and is stubborn as good granite, and is a source of usable information. It will be interesting to see just how far she can be pushed. Her insistence on sparring seems to serve both of us with equal benefit, though her insistence on continued association with me makes me wonder how she's survived this long."
◉ ◉ ◉ ◉
NAMINÉ | KINGDOM HEARTS
"She showed me concern upon my arrival and also when my life was threatened. Talking with her is like talking with my damnable host, and I cannot wait for the time to come when she realizes that being gentle of nature will not protect her indefinitely."
◉ ◉ ◉
RAINBOW DASH | MLP: FiM
"I don't think she's a shadow creature and yet it's hard not to think of her that way. Has many disillusions about destiny and duty, which is fun to mock. Despite this, she's less aggravating than some of the humans here, and less empty-headed than one would think at first glance."
◉ ◉
SUKI | AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER
"Too noble to be of much practical use, but occasionally entertaining. Also has (had) a charming pair of fans which fetched me a nice bit of loot. She seems too emotionally invested in the people who've been terminated to be much of a warrior... perhaps I should steal something else from her, just for the reaction."
◉ ◉
YUKINA | YU YU HAKUSHO
"This girl says she is a demon, but I would be hard-pressed to believe it. As one of the healers of this place, she is eager to offer her services to those in need. She seems a bit simple-minded but I wonder if that can be changed with the correct type of pressure applied."
