I put up chapter 14. Putting up the LJ copy was bittersweet especially; it was so sad to leave David's name off the character list. ;___;
Crystal and I are starting an RP twist she suggested where the detectives, Carmen Sandiego, the Ishtars, Bakura, Yami Bakura, Oreo, and Seto and Duke have landed in a Shadow Game courtesy of the Rare Hunters aligning some ancient Items. They have to play lifesize chess, as the characters. Originally I'd thought of Ishizu being the Queen, since I'd been thinking of her as the only female (this was before Carmen joined the lineup), but ... then the ultimate crack idea came to me. And now Oreo is the Queen. XD LOLOLOL. Yami Bakura is ranting about a cat being the strongest character in the game and how can they possibly win under such circumstances?! And he's not too happy about being the King piece that everyone has to protect. He ends up roaming the board anyway.
The other characters are as follows:
- Seto, Duke, Marik, Rishid, and Carmen are pawns. Seto is furious. XD
- Sean and Barry are rooks. Sean is in horror at the heavy armor.
- Scott and Elliott are knights on horses (suggested by Crystal).
- Ishizu and Bakura are bishops.
- The Rare Hunters are the opposing characters.
Any extras are NPCs, either shadow characters created for the game or other people trapped in the Shadow Realm.
We're also going to try a version of Bakura being corrupted. When a piece is defeated, it falls to the darkness. But if it's someone among the relative good guys (relative because of Yami Bakura, who's an anti-hero as per usual in my verses, and Carmen), they are corrupted and join the opposing side, replacing a piece there. Bakura will probably sacrifice himself for someone else on the board and then become corrupted upon defeat.
Expect illustrations (both cracky and serious) at some point.
Also, does anyone remember an old and really sad fanfic involving Bakura and Yami Bakura where Yami Bakura really cares about Bakura (and it's actually depicted as something other than shounen-ai), but won't admit it? I admittedly didn't read the whole thing, but what stands out the most in my memory is the climax, where Yami Yugi is talking to Yami Bakura and telling him that he needs to acknowledge that he loves Bakura. But by this point it's too late and Bakura has had enough of the way things have been. He kills himself. o.o
I'm mainly curious about it because I think there was a sequel done where Yami Bakura is trying to get him back. And I was wondering whether he succeeded.
Also, as long as I'm on the subject, does anyone also remember a short oneshot where Bakura and Yami Bakura are watching television and end up in a discussion about God and religion? Yami Bakura seems to be an atheist and it's implied that Bakura is Christian. It's old too; probably the fic that inspired me to write Bakura as a Christian (the few times it came up at all ... which actually may have only been in one, old fic)....
