[ Bakura is coming from Fullmetal Alchemist universe this week. He's in his early 20's, a State Alchemist, and considerably less hostile towards people -- actually bordering on polite. Oh, and he's actually got his hair under control and tied back neatly. NOW YOU KNOW SOMETHING'S AMISS. ]I'm beginning to think that this week isn't one experiment, ( Read more... )

[ Bakura is sitting on his bed; from the backdrop he appears to be in his usual room in F1. Hair still damp from a recent shower, he's found himself a plain black t-shirt instead of his usual blue and white one ignore the icon and turns the 'berry on for a question. ]As unlikely as it might be given this place prefers metals and plastics, but if ( Read more... )

[ the feed starts out in video mode, but shows only sheets and stiff white white bandages -- lots of bandages, and the edge of a splint -- before the screen goes dark and mode changes to voice ]

I had a bag of possessions in Hope's End. I want it back.

[ Bakura's been watching the network feed for most of the night and into the morning, getting up to pace his room back and forth and growing more and more uneasy until he finally decides to pose a question to the general listening audience ]Are there a lot more new arrivals than usual this time around?

[ With all the coverage that this experiment's effects have been getting on the network, there was nothing to do but wait out the growing bulges beneath the skin of his shoulders. Even though there had been multiple offers for assistance in both impromptu surgery and pain management, Bakura was in equal parts too stubborn and proud to accept either ( Read more... )

[ next section says filtered from Fujino, but seems to have "accidentally" been left public ]Try not to judge that girl too harshly. Doesn't everyone have messy little secrets from their past, especially here? ( Read more... )

[ Bakura is putting the finishing touches on the sennet board he's been working on the last few weeks. Cones, spools, throw sticks... everything's been meticulously carved. He seems in a relatively good mood and that's probably the reason why there's an auburn-furred mogwai creeping cautiously around the room instead of cowering under whatever ( Read more... )

Invisibility is an old trick. I hope next week is more exciting.
