@darkmasterzorku Asked:

Runs his fingers through Malik's hair. He knows what the upcoming day means for his partner. "How about we go cause some mischief? Maybe get a few drinks?" Bakura's voice is uncharacteristically silky smooth as he asks. "I'll take you wherever you want~"

Malik's mind is in a state of in-between as he barely registers Bakura's fingers combing through his tresses.

In a few days it would be his birthday, and while he sees himself as a gift to the world (yes, such an egoic opinion of himself) he also still holds lots of mixed feelings towards the day when he was born- though it was technically at night if the records his family painstakingly keep are any indication.

He won't even touch how his life meant the death of his mother.

Still... Bakura is trying to prove as a distraction for him at that moment.

"...You promise to pay?" He questions the fiend while trying to wear his usual cocky persona. He is at least making an attempt to let others be there for him-- even if he loathes the very notion of vulnerability. Vulnerability meant people could use it against you. He had seen it time and time again with so many seedy individuals during his time running the Ghouls.

@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.

@darkmasterzorku Asked:

Doesn't say anything. Just lays across Malik's lap.

"This isn't a trap is it?" Malik will just ask the dark god as he sprawls out across his lap. He's almost feline-like in this execution.

And if he knew anything about cats they could be deceptive by being friendly or affectionate and then scratch you. They really did remind him of Sekhmet and Bastet- both sides of the same coin.

He slowly reaches a hand out to brush through Bakura's tresses, even pushing them out of the way. He's just going to be on his toes now.

Bakura only gave a sound that resembled a single 'tch' as he walked back into the temple where the dark one dwelled.

Instead of answering Zork right away he occupied himself by just dropping down onto the dark stone of the temple floor as he began shaking his robes sleeves out for all manner of trinkets.

By the time he was done, a pretty decent pile of bracelets and necklaces that he had snatched from a tomb were scattered on the floor in front of him along with the odd gem or scroll of papyrus.

Ash-violet finally locked onto the dark one who had appeared to him in a more human-like guise.

"I found a tomb that hasn't been touched. The newly departed Pharaoh's. I just couldn't resist to go and pay my respects more...personally." The King of Thieves said with a dark grin on his features.

"I plan to return soon enough, but next time I have something else planned." He had spotted the sarcophagus and right away he had a plan developed in his mind from the sight alone. He would confront the priests and the newly crowned successor up close and personal after bringing them his own twisted offering.

He gave a lilt of his head as he considered the god's statement about the ring.

"Oh? Can you tell me which of those bastards has it then?" He could concoct his own strategy of how to find the priest in question once he knew who to single out.

"You also almost lost to the human equivalent of a golden retriever. So don't boast too much," he told the blond with a smirk.

@darkmasterzorku

//That's hilarious... Thank you for being rude to him x D

"You're not referring to that Jounouchi guy are you?! That's a low blow, Bakura!" He has a slight growl after that little reminder.

"I'll boast as much as I like, damn you." His pride has been wounded in remembering not just his duel with one Jounouchi, but also how his own original personality had lost control over him when he had him under his control as a puppet.

"You're going to regret that." Let's say with a few more of his precious souls trapped in Monster World figures.

“I wonder how much your mind could take before it breaks?”

@darkmasterzorku

Yuugi glared at him, resisting the temptation to give him too much back talk. The worst thing he could do would be to challenge him.

"I'm not keen on finding out," he said, "What do you want?"

[no96-blackmist]

“You ought to have brought more than just yourself to hunt a creature like me.” 

"It's not you I'm hunting. It's the potential Number."

@darkmasterzorku Asked:

❛ of all the idiots in the world, i'm stuck with you. ❜ [literally the cooperation thread lol]

&. 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐬 (𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬?) 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.

"Oh come now, it could always be worse... You could be stuck with the Pharaoh."

There might be some slight undertone of resentment there as the wound is fresh of him saying he would rather be stuck with said monarch over him.

"Do you really loathe me that much?~ We could be so good together." In the time that they've been bound together by that tether placed onto them by the gods as punishment he is quickly figuring out how he can push certain buttons.

"Do you want that? I'm the much better option." He's just going to tell himself that as his ego won't allow him to think otherwise.
