Since we’re all feeling a little under the weather this month, I thought of a way we could still have fun while we’re rotting away in our beds from boredom: a choose-your-own-adventure game.

I understand that this might be a new concept for some of you, so I’ll explain how the game works before we get started. I’ll give you a single prompt to start with. Your job is to reply to my prompt and wait for more information from me. I’ll then give you another prompt based on what actions you took in your response… in other words, it’s a bit like collaborative storytelling. However, only one writer can establish the setting, and that’s me.

Got it?

Now… let’s begin.

Weary traveler! The spooky, demon castle that you had set out for when you started your journey to slay its lord months ago is upon you. It rests atop high cliffs, its darkened towers and turrets looming over the forest surrounding it. It appears to be guarded only by a drawbridge. But be careful! It hovers above treacherous waters. Try not to fall in.

How do you wish to proceed?

[ there is no grass in egypt you fool ]

I'm still not seeing what exactly the problem is.

[ he's also being deliberately obtuse but okay bakura. ]

[cuedoves]

[ go touch sand. ]

It's.... a lot.

[ zuko is helping. ]

[hauhra]

Then what we really have here is a personal problem, don't we?

[ Not that Dark Bakura looks or sounds offended in the slightest -- in fact, he's speaking almost as though that's simply another fact of life that he's come to accept rather than put in the effort to be a more likable human being, one that he almost seems to revel in. ]

[cuedoves]

[ it's true...... bakura is the real victim here, no one understands him. ]

I just don't think you're going to find people who are as... into this game as you are.

[hauhra]

I don't see why not when I've seen stranger things in this world already... honestly, at this rate, all I have to do is bide my time until that person comes along... hell, for all I know, I've probably already met them -- especially since I came from my world with company... company that is very much like-minded in many ways, however unwilling they are to admit to that fact...

[ Dark Bakura is chuckling to himself, as he does, his laughter low and dark, clearly not bothered by the fact that he's the only one who seems to think that this is funny. ]

[cuedoves]

[ why is zuko still talking to guy. ]

[ even he doesn't know. ]

So.... play with them? You're not making much sense.

[ this whole monologue is so weird, bakura!!! ]

[ honestly, though, zuko would probably be team bakura if he realized that he was talking about captain puzzles :/ :/ ]

[hauhra]

And what if I'd like to play with someone less predictable than the same people I've already played games with dozens of times before?

[ he's going to conveniently omit the part where he doesn't like playing against yugi and pals because he always loses and also because they're onto his bullshit, but shhh. ]

[cuedoves]

[ bakura: mad bc he can't godmode his way around yugi and co :/ ]

Seems to me like you don't have a lot of options of people you can play with. Because you're picky.

[ this thread will never end. ]

[hauhra]

[ where's the lie ]

At the same time, however, I very well can't expect to catch the few options I do have if I'm not casting a net at all, now, can I?

[ it will never end because bakura will never admit that zuko or anyone else that's not him is right, rip ]
