Announcement: of interest to quite a few people, I imagine

[kc_ceo]

I have the Ring and the Eye in my possession. Unless someone provides me with a good reason not to, in a fortnight I will do as follows:

The Items will be melted down.

The ensuing block of gold will be dissolved in Aqua Regia.

The ensuing mixture will be dropped from a plane into the Pacific ocean.

Note: When I say a reason not to, I mean it.

You're joking, Kaiba. *tone light, despite automatic response to the idea of destroying the Eye* You're not honestly going to try something so patently impossible?

[kc_ceo]

Why is it impossible? It's gold.

[funny_bunny_fan]

You wouldn't have to ask if you knew anything about how the Items were made, Kaiba. They aren't just gold.

[kc_ceo]

Expound.

[funny_bunny_fan]

How much of this do you know already?

[kc_ceo]

Little other than hearsay. You can safely assume that I am largely ignorant on this issue.

[funny_bunny_fan]

And you want me to tell you, right now? *put-upon sigh* All of it?

[kc_ceo]

You're the one suggesting that it melting it and dissolving it would be a bad idea.

[funny_bunny_fan]

Fine, fine, *sighs again*, all right, I'll tell you what I know. Have you heard of a village in Egypt called, I think it's Kur Elna?

[kc_ceo]

No.

[funny_bunny_fan]

...I didn't think you would have. I might have the name wrong, I think that's what it was called. I used to read about this, you know, right after I got the Eye.

If I understood what I was reading, the people there were all killed, and their ashes were mixed with the gold that formed the Items.

[kc_ceo]

Charming. However, I don't see why that would make the metal resistant to heat and acid.

[funny_bunny_fan]

*rolls eyes* No, I suppose you wouldn't. Think about it, Kaiba, they didn't put the ashes in there to make the gold shinier, they did it for a reason.

[kc_ceo]

Yes - could the reason be to appeal to superstitious idiots who would then, out of fear, not attempt to get rid of the Items, perhaps?

[funny_bunny_fan]

Superstitious, *faint snort of derision*, what is it you think makes the Items work, Kaiba? -- You will admit they've got Power, won't you? -- You think that's superstition?

[kc_ceo]

I admit they have power. I can't imagine that human ashes would have given them that. It makes no sense.
