duel 11. video (cw: death or dying)
「It's been a while since he's made a video post in which he looks actually serious, he doesn't look sad for a change, just thoughtful.
When he finally speaks he does it uncharacteristically (for him) quietly, even though, firm.」
How do you deal with loss?
When people leave this place or, when you know you will never see someone you care for again?
When they pass away.
Do you try to forget about them... or... 「No, that thought actually hurts.」
What is that helps you to move on?
「If they do at all.
This has been in his mind ever since Maedhros and Celebrimbor were gone, and even way before. He didn't knew them personally, but he could see how much pain their departure had caused — only one person had made him feel that way, but it wasn't Yugi who left, it was him. Atem left them all and he cannot help but wonder, was he the cause of grief among his loved ones, the ones that survived him when he decided to give up his life, and then when he had to move on from the world of the living a second time?
He doesn't wish to think so highly of himself, but it's hard, specially when all his life the world did use to revolve around him. But he worries about those he left behind, they would be fine, wouldn't they? Heh, if only they knew he hasn't moved on at all, that he still talks to his partner in his head all the time... What a little hypocrite.」

Mokuba is gone.
「But Atem is sure he already knows. He doesn't expect a reply.」

[and it doesn't help that she wouldn't be able to pick out Law from a police lineup]
no subject
「He gives a little shrug.」
Like, not having any clue still.
no subject
[she shrugs back]
I'd like to think I have something of a clue. Like three-fourths of a clue.
no subject
「Nah. Okay maybe a little.」
Why not the whole clue?
no subject
[she says, clearly teasing]
Ehh, gives me a margin of error. Just in case.
no subject
「Even he can get a hint like that! He also is clearly just fooling around.」
no subject
And it's okay to keep pestering me. But my problem is, I dunno what I'd write about. They say "write what you know," but I've never had a romance. My life in high school would be too fucking depressing to read about. And here is just kind of. Here. I think people would prefer a little escapism.
no subject
「What else, truly?」
And other... stuff! Like keeping myself first place at the arcade scores... I know it's lame.
「Don't tell Kaiba he said that.
Oh well, that does sound like a problem.」
Somehow, I thought you had thought of a story. Why would you need romance in it?
no subject
[she nods solemnly]
Not too lame. Though, it's nice to know who keeps fucking me over at Pac-Man. [said teasingly]
Nah, not really. And I dunno, but people like romance? They usually expect at least a little romance in a story.
no subject
「Who else would use ATM as their handle, there used to be KAI in there too! But Kaiba is in this stupid trip so he lost the right to be in the top ten!」
Can't you make stuff up?
no subject
[sucks to be him!]
I . . . guess? But I haven't exactly read a lot of romances, other than Jane Austen and the Brontes. But those were written a long time ago.
no subject
「It's so easy, tho!」
Then don't make it romance, make it something you like.
「Oh! But, is that the issue? It's not like he wants to say she doesn't like romance but... it just came that way.」
no subject
[her hand/eye coordination isn't the greatest, okay?]
Yeah, but it's like with Dr. Brennan's book, right? Had all the forensic stuff, but let's face it, most people were probably reading it to get to the naughty parts.
[and as she is the virginest virgin to ever virgin, she doesn't really. . . get that]
no subject
「Good Ra when will he shut up about that guy, he's not even here!」
I never read it. Was it good?
「Naughty... parts, okei.」
no subject
[/cues up "My Heart Will Go On" in the background]
I liked the mystery part, but the smutty bits, ehh. I've read raunchier "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fanfic.
cw: stupid ygo abridged references :3c
「I think you mean, My Cards Will Go On.」
Fanfic?
Sweet Jesus, what did I just watch? XD
[/ded. current status, ded]
Yeah. Say you like a particular TV show, right? Only you're between seasons and you want more or wish a particular pair of characters would hook up. That's what fanfic is for, fans writing stories that make those things happen.
magic on the making!
「The sad truth is that these two nerds might be a bit too OP games wise, but that will not stop him from teaching her what he knows! He's again, just being a little troll.」
.... Sounds kinda fun. Too bad we don't have shows here.
「But... they do have people, and their dramas.......... ohgods」
/weeps
[she approves of trolls, so it's all good]
Nope. There's the play that one lady was talking about, but that's it.
[so many dramas. impossible to keep track of]
no subject
「As if that was hard af all!!」
A play? Oh... oh, yeah I saw that. But I'm no actor, or writer.
「He can be dramatic as hell, would that help?」
no subject
[not very hard at all]
Yeah? Who says?
[A+ primo help!]
