010 ≠ ( CONSOLE | VIDEO ) backdated to June 16th

[denyamenti]

[ For all he likes to snark comment on other people's posts, Bakura hardly makes any of his own, and as such, this is the first one in several months.

He's sporting an impressive bruise on one side of his face, and looking suitably rumpled. There are also small traces of wispy black shadow clinging to him, and to the edge of the video frame, all of which he ignores. ]

Dojo's closed for today and tomorrow. Hebnay, sefatjiw, you can pick up your pay on the weekend instead.

What happened to you?

[Very few people were bold enough to mess up Bakura's face and it certainly hadn't been her.]

[denyamenti]

An explosion.

[redlightgreenlight]

[Ah, that made more sense]

What did you do to the Dojo?

[denyamenti]

... exploded part of it.

[redlightgreenlight]

I figured that part. [he was definitely a man of few words and it was highly annoying]

Just how did you 'explode' the Dojo.

...rough day?

Re: video; private

[denyamenti]

Aa, and now I have a mess to clean up.

[wrathfulkhan]

Want any help?

[He's had a lot of experience cleaning up messes. Usually his own.]

Re: video; private

[denyamenti]

[ grumbling ]

I can clean it myself, but I'm not going to throw you out if you show up.

[wrathfulkhan]

Right. I'll be there soon.

What happened, exactly?

Video

[irishthor]

Are you okay? That's quite a bruise you've got there.

Re: Video

[denyamenti]

[ Bakura touches the bruised cheek, as if having momentarily forgotten it was that obvious, then shrugs. ]

It's fine. Nothing broken.

[irishthor]

Need a hand with anything?

Re: Video

[denyamenti]

Moonlighting as a janitor now?

Video

[irishthor]

I have experience in cleaning up major messes. Why hold back on valuable experience?

[not here]

[peacefullywreathed]

[Solomon wants to reply.

[... He doesn't. He doesn't know how Raine's 'plan' is progressing and there's no point in airing their private troubles in public by putting Bakura in a position where he'd have to ignore him in public.]

[ruinsprofessor]

[UM.]

Should I stop by?

[Tell her the visible bruise is the extent of it. Maybe she'll even believe it.]

Re: video;

[denyamenti]

You have more important things to be doing than helping me clean up, seba-rekhet. I'm not hurt, I just decided to wear the side of the sparring platform on my face.

[ruinsprofessor]

[Very, very dryly:] I don't think it suits you, as a fashion choice.

...as long as you're all right. Magical accident?

[Judging by the shadows. Magical accidents involving shadows have no reason to make her twitchy, really.]

Re: video;

[denyamenti]

I'm starting to get the same feeling.

Yes. I tried to work a Spell into doing something that didn't fit. It's not the first time it's happened, but the backfire isn't normally so volatile. I'll try it again later, outside and away from the building.

[ruinsprofessor]

That's likely for the best.

...at least make sure you have your handset with you.

[He probably does know what he's doing. Still, just in case.]

[unetrustworthy]

[She almost didn't reply. The dojo wasn't something of her concern, and Bakura was usually something even less of her concern. If this had been a simply audio post, there would have been nothing for it.]

[But it wasn't audio. It was video. Specifically, a video of a disheveled boy who was normally not so disheveled. And injured. Knowing Bakura, there was always a chance he deserved whatever punch had been delivered...but, given everything that had been happening the last few months, with the muggings and other attacks, she had to know for certain:]

Was it one of the kedan?

Re: video

[denyamenti]

[ Bakura seems equally surprised that she's responded, since she doesn't use the dojo herself. ]

Was what one of the kedan?

video

[unetrustworthy]

[She reached up and lightly tapped at the mirror side of her face to his injury.]

That.

Re: video

[denyamenti]

[ He touched his own, then realized what the bruise probably looked like, then waves his hand dismissively. ]

Oh, that. No, that was the side of the sparring platform, when introduced to an indoor magical explosion.
