008 ≠ ( VIDEO )

[denyamenti]

[ The video feed opens with not one Bakura but two, the first standing central to the screen and the other offset to the side and whose nervous posture indicates he's still trying to slide even farther away. Separately it would be easy to call them identical but side by side, there are differences; slight but present. The voice is the biggest giveaway though, as Bakura's bears almost nothing of Ryou's accent. ]

Pay attention:

There are, as you can see, actually two of us. I'm the one who thinks you're all expendable idiots and treats you accordingly, not him. So taking your anger at me out on the new arrival here without listening to him merely proves my point.

For those of you whom I so easily fooled by calling myself "Ryou"? This is the real one, so go... make friends or something.

[ At that, Ryou offers an awkward wave at the console screen. ]

If anyone wishes to query Emily-Helen about this via their hatchling, she will confirm there are indeed two! If a little confused about why they're very similar. ]

I'm certain you won't like the synonym I'm thinking of, or what I'm about to tell you to do with it.

I don't know. I like to think I'm a very charitable person.

You would!

There's no need to be so mean about it. Especially since I've put so much effort into finding you a fee that's useful as well as unique.

[ Good recovery, Sol. Bakura changes the feed to video and makes it private. ]

Oh?

video; private

[He likes to think so. He follows suit, and he looks amused when the feed activates.]

Where would be the fun in just telling you? If, however, you're prepared for some mine-robbing ...

[Now that the Evandau 'thing' is over. Mostly. It's probably not a bad idea for Solomon to get out of the city for a while, either way.]

[ With Ryou in the city, Bakura might just need a break anyway. ]

Very well. When?

[peacefullywreathed]

Today, if you're amenable. I can pick you up.

That's fine. I will send Emily-Helen to play with Riva again.

An hour?

I'll be ready.

I'll see you shortly, then.
