My, my... what an unfortunate person you are. Like I said... do what you like. It's no concern of mine.

[Chomping down on a crisp.]

I'm not going to be intimidated by a thirteen year old boy.

[inheritedburden]

[You're a jeeeeerk. Tenar just grumbles a little, reaching over to grab a bag of chips and just munch on them.

Nope, not gonna talk to you for a while, Bakura. Just going to pout.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Jeez... what a child. But he does still want to keep him relatively on his good side. So after a a while:]

I already said I don't kill people needlessly. I wasn't joking when I said I owed Kai my life either. That bastard's not in any danger from me.

[inheritedburden]

I believed you when you said that.

[He's just grumpy because you shot down his whole "hero" thing. :T But it's clear he's not really that angry, just doing that childish pouting that brings his age into question again.

So after a bit more, he just stretches out, making a noise and moving his shoulders to the armrest, his head hanging down off the chair now.]

So what's it like being a ghost?

[fluffydeathdealer]

...Boring. I can't really do anything but sleep or think when I'm not using someone else's body. I can't touch anything physical, or even hear or see things.

But there's enough entertaining things when I do have a body to mess around in to make it worth it. You wouldn't understand most of it. Not that it's difficult; but the thing that makes it interesting comes from three thousand years of being bored enough to find anything new interesting. Someone as young as you can't comprehend that level of boredom.

[inheritedburden]

Wow... you're a really old man, huh?

[Thankfully, for all his childishness, being told he's too young doesn't seem to be something that bothers him, and he just shrugs a little after thinking.]

No, probably not like you. But I live in a place like this with my mom and dad -- our house is in the middle of a huge forest and we don't go to the city a lot, so I didn't see a lot of stuff before I went to Uncle's school and started traveling with my friends.

So I can kinda understand, at least a little!

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

[Goddammit, he's usually the one making jokes like that, you little brat. Don't give him a complex!]

[fluffydeathdealer]

How good's your hearing?

[inheritedburden]

[He's younger than you, he is contractually obligated to mock you for your age. Come on, Bakura, get with the times.]

Really good! Why?

[fluffydeathdealer]

[And he is contractually obligated to be annoyed at him for it!]

At some point, try something for me. Go somewhere quiet, so quiet you can't even hear the birds, and plug your ears. Take that bandanna of yours and fasten it over your eyes. Lie still for a while.

Five minutes of that should be enough to show you what I'm talking about. I can't take away your ability to feel, but that's close enough.

[inheritedburden]

Um... that'd probably be somewhere inside, right? I could find somewhere like that...

That already sounds really boring, though!

[fluffydeathdealer]

And already you start to understand!

[He laughs again, a short, sharp barked-out laugh as he relaxes.]

I've lived out human lifespans like that~! Being a ghost's a total pain. You should treasure your life while you have it.

[inheritedburden]

Back home, you'd just go to heaven or hell if you died... I don't think we've got ghosts that get stuck in stuff!

But I'll make sure not to die in your world. You probably can't bring people back to life, either, if you're in the Ring...

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

You're definitely bullshitting me now.

[inheritedburden]

...No, you really go to heaven or hell.

[The point.








Tenar's head.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

I meant the other part. We have heaven and hell in my world too. But people can't come back from the dead.

[inheritedburden]

Oh! No, it's real, too. You can get wished back to life by Shenlong, but it only works once.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

Your world is really weird.

[inheritedburden]

Yours is just as weird to me!

Besides, that's the only "magic" we have in mine, wishing on the Dragon Balls.

[fluffydeathdealer]

You wish on... a dragon's balls?

...

I guess I've heard of weirder shit.

[inheritedburden]

Not a dragon's balls, the Dragon Balls. You find them, put them together, call out Shenlong, and then tell him your wish. If it's something he can do, then he'll grant it.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...still sounds pretty weird.

[Giving a dragon back his balls in exchange for a wish... huh.]

Anyway, my world is pretty ordinary.

[inheritedburden]

Dunno... having ghosts that possess people and not knowing what ki is sounds pretty weird to me!

[fluffydeathdealer]

It's only natural. Ki doesn't exist in my world. And there's only two ghosts.

[inheritedburden]

Well, that's not natural to me, so I wouldn't call it ordinary!

[He sticks his tongue out again, but it's playful this time.]
