[Rue notices the bandages first. She remembers this boy, though only vaguely. She remembers him running from her, she remembers continually approaching him--

Again and again, but for what?

Did...did she hurt him? Did she do that to him?

She sees the shine of the ring, but...it does not entice her the way it did before. She keeps her distance at first, wondering if she should turn away now before he notices her...]

Yes, it's nice to meet you as well.

[Aw, the warm smile eases the tension some, and she's able to smile, too...]

I'm sure you know by now that...that wasn't quite me...

[[a small nod]] Un. Something in the fog, right? A lot of people were affected by it. It's all right, it's not anything you could control.

[[His eyes drift over to his bandaged hand, expression clouding for just a moment before he forces himself back to the present.]]

LOL--well, Route seems like a fun game!! ffff I've been eyeing it kruehe November 14 2011, 18:59:21 UTC
Something like that...

[...Well. Maybe.]

To be honest, I don't really know what it was.

[She frowns then, noticing the sudden fixation on his hand.]

...is it bothering you?

Too many Bakura accounts! :D Route is kinda fun, but can get pretty dull. Mytho's a pretty good fit shattereddice November 14 2011, 19:03:34 UTC
Aa-- no, no, it's all right! [[it comes out very quickly as he moves to shift his hand to his side out sight, smile a little forced.]]

I don't think anyone really knows! [[plowing on ahead! Pay the hand no mind...]] And it affected so many people... pretty mysterious, huh?

sjkdls awww, I'm glad. <33 i've heard it's kinda fast, actually kruehe November 14 2011, 19:11:04 UTC
[It doesn't quite take a genius to see that his smile is forced...she tries to peer over when he slides his hand out of sight but...

doesn't really want to push it.]

It is. Though being here as long as I have, I've sadly grown accustomed to this city's lack of answers...

[About anything. :|]

Eh, it's not too fast. Sometimes there are a lot of posts, but it's very easy to skim/keep up with. shattereddice November 14 2011, 20:59:27 UTC
[[Hurdle crossed! And he relaxes a bit again.]] How long have you been here? [[He hadn't really talked to too many people yet, mostly trying to avoid the Ring's voice or getting anyone targeted by said voice.]]

awww, that's good. yeah, i heard there are lots of posts but everyone backtags |D kruehe November 14 2011, 21:08:47 UTC
...

Almost half a year, if memory serves.

[A sigh. Admittedly, it hasn't lately. But it's the best answer she has.]

Yourself...?

Reply

Yep! I'm still in a thread from June. :D shattereddice November 14 2011, 21:11:59 UTC
[[Half a year?! He hadn't even been in any of his last 3 schools that long!]]

Just two weeks...

Oh good |D I'm not the only one who backtags forever/that far kruehe November 14 2011, 21:37:33 UTC
I see.

[Gosh, he's a newbie by comparison.]

...A stroke of bad luck, then. Things like this don't...happen often, really.

[It's usually something big or nothing at all. Boredom or chaos...Vatheon has never had any in-betweens.]

Not at all :D We go til we run out of things to do :D shattereddice November 14 2011, 21:40:55 UTC
[[a bit of a rueful smile. Bad luck was just his luck...]] That's a good thing to hear. And with with that, things did seem to end up all right in the end.

[She nods, though tentatively.]

At least, for now. A recovery period of sorts...

[And she glances tentatively over to his hand again.]

Something so you can gather up the courage before it all comes again, ne?

[[His hand was pretty slack on the bench next to him. After two weeks Bakura had gotten much better at getting it to go limp when he wasn't even thinking of it. Though if Rue kept her eyes on it, she'd see one of his fingers twitch just slightly as Bakura's mind distractedly though of it.

A rest period before it all started up again, huh? Did that mean he could relax a little...?]]

kruehe November 15 2011, 02:12:59 UTC
...Yes. But hopefully, it will not.

[She does notice the twitch, just as she turns her attention away from it, though she's not entirely sure what to make of it. For a girl who's been human all her life without knowing it, she really doesn't feel like she knows the human body all that well--

And she has no idea what may have happened to him.

She doesn't remember doing any of that...

She had let him go. She had let him go, so she could find another victim...]

Un, hopefully.

[[he pauses a moment, looking over at her]] Are you all right...?

kruehe November 15 2011, 07:13:34 UTC
[She doesn't quite answer his question. The silence perhaps might make it seem like she's considering her answer, but...in the end--]

...Your hand...

[She doesn't make any motions to invade his personal space anymore. But she does fixate back on the hand he's been trying hard to hide. That twitch she saw...she knows she didn't imagine it.]

Are you sure it's...?

[All right?]
