WELCOME TO YOUR PRIVATE CHANNEL, PLAYER1. FOR SECURE COMMUNICATION, USE 10.11.0.0.01 *** PLAYER1 has joined 10.11.0.0.01 <PLAYER1> If you're looking for someone you knew as Yugi before June, you've found him! It's Atem, leave a message. | ||||

Or are you talking about the broken nose he had two weeks ago?
[Atem sure seems concerned about someone he'd just called "half evil god."]
no subject
And right now? With his world in pieces within his head and his scars useless against Atem's blanket, in the face of the ruins of the Gods? Mocking the Ring-Spirit sounds fantastic. ] I helped and he still hasn't recruited more than five people....
[ and one of the people lies on the floor all the time....and one of the people is "dad"....the other three seem competent enough though ]
I'm willing to support his endeavor as a backup plan if dueling falls through, but I shudder to think how he's fared without me.
now that I know he doesn't go to the penthouse.....
...
Do you mean what he was talking about in Rota a few weeks ago? He's actually managed to sway a few of them?
[Completely unconcerned that the Ring-Spirit and Marik are running an offshoot group of monster worshippers. Because RS and Marik are his friends! And also, RS legitimately appears to be a better cult leader to follow than Tage.]
no subject
[ Five. He has five. Four Tage and one girl who just sort of...showed up...? One day? Marik is still learning the details but he has a feeling that when he gets the whole picture, he's going to have another reason to laugh at the Ring-Spirit. So he likes that cultist. ]
The angle we're going for is "truth". True facts about the Fog, living in a way that's true to who or what you feel you were born to be...
[ He almost has a moment of introspection, but he's done that enough today, and his brain is tired. He sniffs. ]
Their last leader made them all dress like waldgeists. No imagination.
no subject
No, she didn't. Most of the time, they all dressed like different monsters...I thought the leader was the only one allowed to dress like a waldgeist.
[What does Marik mean??]
no subject
They wore deer masks to invade Bavan....
[ But....if the Pharaoh is right about under typical circumstances, then....
wheels. turning ]
no subject
...that's right. I guess that was some kind of uniform...or maybe an infiltration costume? Designed for anonymity.
But when I woke up in their village, the one that looked after me had a cat mask...there were two with snake-scale tattoos, I remember them, too...and one of the tents was done up to look like a vampire lair. They'd painted it to look like it was part castle, part cave!
[They put a lot of creativity into what they do...it's a shame they're all murderous LARPers, instead of just the regular kind of dramatic.]
no subject
[ Marik snickers. It's still a bit bleak-sounding since he's Had A Day, here, but... ]
Oh, yes, definitely, they're all there to serve the Fog! I can't believe his angle was right....
[ "Richard" was onto something, there, by targeting Ms. Tage for his objections.
Pity about that broken nose making it nearly impossible for anyone to tell what he was saying. Must have been quite the scuffle, with someone impressive, to get one up on the Ring-Spirit! ]
no subject
[As Atem goes on, he's more musing to himself than anything else.]
The Tagevalgten...it's a complicated situation. It'd be better if they didn't exist as an organization....but I understand why they turned to that kind of philosophy.
no subject
[ If they can just get more than four established cultists and one teenager from town who likes being play-chased by "Richard" to listen to them.
Marik chuckles, his head full of plans, then grows quiet. He draws the blanket around himself. Resists the urge to lean on the Pharaoh. That would be disrespectful.
But the day is catching up with him, and he's flagging. ]
OH MY GOD RS'S BELLA IS IN THE SUBCULT?? omg
But he does not trust that Marik won't pass out on his couch. Atem had better get the guy home before he's too tired to operate a motorcycle.]
You've had quite a day. I wish I could tell you it won't always be like this, but...since that's the way things are, it's even more important to get proper rest!
You're still staying with Noa, right? Can you make it back on your own?
the mods said "5 humans, half are traitors", so, 2 real converts, 2 traitors, 1 fangirl....
Then....He'll let the back of his mind figure out "then." He's brilliant, he can do things like that. ]
I couldn't trouble you further. [ Marik pushes himself forward, roots around for his clothes. ] Prepare for the Duel. I'll do the same.
amazing.
Atem doesn't say that, though. He just nods -- and he'll see Marik out the door, once he's clothed and gathered up. Drive alert arrive alive, pal.]
no subject
He only gets honked at three times, even, which means he's having an especially uneventful night.
Marik heeds none of it, however. Lots on his mind. ]
