@occultiic Asked:

"I hate you for what you represent."

Random Song Lyrics

"Would that happen to be the fears innate within the hearts of men by any chance?"

"Tell me... What are your fears? What is lurking behind such a calm demeanor?" He can't help to feel a thrum of excitement at the very idea of finding out just what fears are bottled up inside of the young fluffy-haired occultist.

"Let me find out what frightens you." He leans in closer towards Ryo while brushing his fingers through his snowy locks. One by one he lets them fall through his tanned fingers before they lay once again at his shoulders like a curtain.

[dementedxshade]

The grin on his features spread wider much like a Cheshire Cat's the moment that he saw the wince from the white-haired occultist.

"Oh?~" The blond leaned forward a bit in order to make it easier for him to meet Ryo's gaze more directly with his own lilac hues.

He was prepared to try another tactic to goad such information out of the other male.

He would come off as harmless so that he might have Ryo put his guard down and to the side, if even temporarily.

Or that would have been the plan he had in mind if the male hadn't suddenly raised his tone towards him while telling him to leave him be.

A strong hand outstretched to grip the upper part of Ryo's arm, but not as harshly as he could have. No, this was just simply a warning on his part.

"Do not raise your tone towards me." His lilac eyes took on a narrowed appearance. "Understood?" There was no room for argument.

[dementedxshade]

A sincere thank you for the kind words and reassurances last night. It is much appreciated.

I just worry at times that I make my muse perhaps too 'soft', but I try to find a decent compromise between a more canon-based portrayal and between what I think he would be like in a post-canon situation should he ever happen to be revived.

[dementedxshade]

Logging off. I'll answer things tomorrow. I suddenly don't feel confident in my writing or portrayal.

Random Song Lyrics

"I'll never be the same."

"The game is over."

"Would you mind if I hurt you?"

"One day I will get revenge."

"What have I become?"

"I would want myself."

"This is the world we live in."

"Can't you turn it back?"

"Turn the lights on."

"What do you want from me?"

"Let me enlighten you."

"Please come and see me again."

"I can feel you falling away."

"You'll be alright."

"I don't know how to feel."

"What have we done?"

"It's not healthy for me to feel this."

"Come and tease me."

"If only I could turn back time."

"It's too loud in here to talk."

"Do you know what I feel?"

"Pick it up."

"All I ever wanted was to be what you needed."

"I want to be with you."

"I hate you for what you represent."

"Get me outta here."

"I made a promise I couldn't keep."

"It's a different look."

"I'm not living in the past for you."

"Who's got the joker?"

"You're taking the fun out of everything."

"You never wanted this."

"I will do whatever it takes."

"What did you think would happen?"

"They didn't believe me."

it's okay if you aren't writing right now. it's okay not to be online. it's okay to take breaks. this is a hobby, not a job, and you should spend your time however you want to, not how others may want you to. don't stress yourself over not being around enough; it doesn't matter if you take days, weeks, or even months — it's okay to do things the way it works best for you. and if that means taking longer to reply, then so be it. people are usually far more understanding than we give them credit for.

@dementedxshade requested: .*𓋹 *. Happy Starter .*𓋹 *.

Ryo was honestly excited to be able to go out somewhere with Mariku. Somewhere outside of either the apartment or Malik's own, anyway. "So where did you want to go?"

It didn't really matter either way, as the occultist was just glad to get to go out. The weather was cooling even more, too, so at least the journey to the destination would be somewhat pleasant.

"Was there anywhere you wanted to go that you haven't been yet?"

[dementedxshade]

Atsu could hold just much of an impatient nature as Malik could at times. Unlike the former tombkeeper however, he didn't go off half-cocked and emotional.

No, the emotional control or rather lack of them and the ever present neutral demeanor could be unsettling to someone or even intimidating on its own.

The coffee scalded the mirror image of Malik, but you wouldn't have known it as he instead just observed the heat and pain before sitting his cup back down on the table.

"You remind me of a snow rabbit." Atsu said with a thin smile as he relayed right back to Ryo an animal that he placed him in mind of.

He wasn't showing it outward, but inside the blond was quite pleased with Ryo finding his overall appearance to be enjoyable.

"I like the way you look too..." Ryo's personality and strange little quirks were only a contrast to his beautiful features however.

No, he quite enjoyed everything about the other male.

Right down to his tastes and hobbies- it was a whole package wrapped up with a neat bow to him.

[dementedxshade]

@darkmasterzorku requested a:

Cooperative Starter

"You're the last person, or rather should I say, abomination that I want to actually have to cooperate with." There was a snarl that escaped the blond's lips as he glared at the fiend.

"Isn't this a fine mess you got us into?"

The gods that were overseeing their return and for the sake of humanity figured it would be best to place the Ishtar shade and Zorku into the magickal equivalent of a "get along" shirt, only it wasn't a shirt, but more of a tether formed of pure psychic energy glowing a bright blue color as it connected them both together.

[dementedxshade]

A feeling of adrenaline and pure unadulterated exhilaration took hold of the blond once he had witnessed how successful his harnessing the shadow magick had been once more.

He had been trapped within a hell of his own creation so long that had consisted of the dark shadows swirling and merely existing like a miasma, so to be able to experience things once more even if he was in the company of the dark god, he was finding that he could deal with that.

"I see." Mariku gave a nod to this new bit of information. "So the items only could exist due to your existence in the first place." He was being exposed to new details regarding the origin of those forged items-- one of which even he had wielded at one point.

"Only a mere sample? Intriguing." He said before he switched back to a neutral expression not giving anything away.

"So do you know where we are?" He would have to be dependent upon Bakura for a little while longer it seemed. At least until he had officially returned that is.

He had asked the question before, but he wanted to be able to place a name to his surroundings... As desolate and isolated as they seemed with sand expanding as far as the eye can see.

[starlight-requiem-deactivated20]

"Alright. What's the something? Food?"

[dementedxshade]

He knew a touchy subject when he recognized one. Fortunately for Yami, he much preferred finding things out for himself. In the meanwhile he supposed that he could at least humor the other.

He tipped his head upward at that comment from the revived Pharaoh. "Of course, I eat." The blond says with a small brow raise.

"I tend to go for meat dishes more often, but you can never go wrong with a variety of cuisine."

"How much is a lot?" He could see why someone in a newly acquired body might indulge in things they never could beforehand. He could relate quite well in that regard when it came to his former host, Malik.

[dementedxshade]

@bariankura Says:

*laughs* "Malik? Mother?"

"Zork is convinced that I originated from him since I am the darkness as is he, but he's also convinced that since I was born from Malik's fractured psyche that he is my mother."

"He's not my mother! Dammit."

[dementedxshade]

"Thief King Bakura?" He bristles at that name a bit.

He's not going to ask him if he's related to the same one that he immolated by way of Ra.

No, at least this Bakura seems far more interesting than that one. "How are you an alien?" His curiosity is piqued at least.

"Was there anywhere you wanted to go that you haven't been yet?"

[dementedxshade]

The blond Egyptian uttered a muffled thanks before he went back to sit at the table in the back of the cafe'. While Ryo was ordering, Atsu pulled out his phone and rose his brow at a meme that Yuugi had sent him.

"Tch. How like Chibi." He chuckled at the image of a small cat surrounded by hearts as the tagline said:

There is no meme. I just wanted to tell you have a good day!

When Ryo came back to the table he took his coffee and took a sip of it, but in the process he gave the white-haired male an almost confused look.

"You're saying I do resemble a lion?" He didn't much mind when it was coming from Ryo now that he thought about it.

[dementedxshade]

@darkmasterzorku

"Could it really be much worse than what I've seen so far?" Amethyst optics are trained on the features of the fiend as he speaks as if transfixed.

He loathed to admit it, but he really was both a beautiful as well as truly (and irritatingly so) creature.

The desire to tame such a creature was still bubbling just beneath the surface for the darker personality of Malik.

"Is that a promise?" This time there weren't any curses or insults. No, and he even seems to have moved in closer so that he could brush his thumb across the jawline of the fiend. "I'll hold you to that, Bakura~." There is even a soft underlying seductive quality within his voice.

[dementedxshade]

"My, you think you have me pegged don't you?~ The darker version of Malik asks with a chortle as he cants his head just barely to the side, but those amethyst hues holding a constant predatory gleam never once leave Bakura.

"You won't show me anything?~ Perhaps, I could convince you?" He advanced upon the fiend, but instead of touching him he just gets up close and personal- enough that his hot breath can be heard as he takes on a crazed look as he licks his lips.

"I must insist."

[starlight-requiem-deactivated20]

"Alright. What's the something? Food?"

[dementedxshade]

He's just mentally taking notes with this brief exchange at the moment.

" You think maiming you would be kinder?~" He just chuckled at that small detail.

"I'm serious, so I guess ramen it is." The wild-haired blond says, but he's ever observant especially with the way that the other seems to pay close attention to his wrist for a moment.

"So you find a common enemy within Zork as well? I like that. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, after all."

[dementedxshade]

@occultiic Asked:

Crawls under the blanket quietly, you'd barely even know he was there if at all. Much better.

"Hey, you feeling alright, habibi?" Atsu just makes space underneath the blanket that he had spread out on the couch as he was watching a horror movie from their shared collection.

He's just going to slowly and carefully adjust his positioning so that Ryo can settle between his legs and back against his chest.

"I'm not the best at this kind of thing, so..." The blond says with a sigh. He's more just going based off of his shared memories with Malik when Rishid or Ishizu would try to help him feel better.

[dementedxshade]

@bariankura Says:

*laughs* "Malik? Mother?"

"Zork is convinced that I originated from him since I am the darkness as is he, but he's also convinced that since I was born from Malik's fractured psyche that he is my mother."

"He's not my mother! Dammit."

[dementedxshade]

"This Astral individual sounds like someone that I would very much enjoy tormenting." At least they have that in common.

"You've told me about Astral and alien duel monsters, but that still leaves the mystery of who you are, does it not?" The fluffy-haired man seemed familiar in a way that he couldn't quite place.

[starlight-requiem-deactivated20]

"Alright. What's the something? Food?"

[dementedxshade]

"Oh? Is it that easy? What kind of food would you be interested in?"

He actually was surprised he got this far.

"I could always just promise not to maim you." He says jokingly.
