Return of the White Mage! ... the other White Mage. No the othe-- oh nevermind. :(

Characters: Bakura and whomever else
Open? Yep~
Where: Somewhere around the capital.
When: It's... complicated. (Birds, I tell you! Birds!)
What: Bakura returns from investigating that weird time vortex that was left after the Hero of the Mountain was defeated with far more memories than he started with.
Warnings:


"And yet, all was not as it had once been. In that spot where the battle raged, there is a strange point of magic. A warping of space that seems to pulse. It is only visible to those who hold magic deep within them, or those who have been touched by it and those whose magic can see into the future may find themselves drawn to it and their arts touched by its strange power...."

Finding that note in the Book of History had sparked Bakura's curiosity, and with fewer and fewer people still around in the Kingdom... he had finally given in and gone to peer at that odd warping of space that had been left when the Hero the Mountain's time magic had been defeated. Standing before it, the pull had been utterly irresistible, and he found himself reaching out--

To any observer, the White Mage had simply vanished, like so many Heroes had when the White Mage-- no, the other White Ma-- oh fine, when the White Mage Kori's spell had waned in power once more.

But this vanishing was something altogether different, not that anyone but Bakura would realize.

It was almost impossible to tell (due to the simple fact that noone really kept track) how long he was gone for, but when he did stumble back out of the vortex, a considerable amount of time had passed, something reflected in the adjustments to his robes and hat (but noone had paid much close attention to those either so noone would at all notice. Such a shame really, to have these little plot details so overlooked...)

So it's with a rather distracted expression that he heads back into town, seeming almost lost...

...that is until he spots a familiar face. Even if there aren't too many of those yet.

Hajime's at least a familiar face, right? Even if he hasn't yet seen Bakura because he is arguing with one of the townspeople. Something about a monster coming to kill chickens and this is not Hajime's problem because the guy he's arguing with should have built a fence and look he'll take care of that monster eventually and so on and so forth.

Okay, Bakura had been among the Travelers, so his presence there isn't entirely unexpected. Hajime grit his teeth. "No, nothing's the matter, I was just leaving."

"But my hens! The monster!"

"Build a fence."
chalicejoker: (Huh)

Hajime opened and closed his mouth a couple of times--he was not new to this, thank you very much--but well, it was making the annoying townsperson go away, so he could roll with it. "Yeah, sure."

"Aha!" The NPC seemed perfectly satisfied with that, and scuttled away. "Then I shall take care of this paperwork at once, so that my chickens may be saved!"
chalicejoker: (Huh)

"Or he could pull his head out his ass and build a fence," Hajime grumbled.

And the rest of Bakura...well. That wasn't what Hajime was expecting, nor was the question there. His eyes narrowed a bit in confusion. "From Locke. Just came from Liminal."
chalicejoker: (Uneasy)

The strange look Hajime was giving Bakura only grew. "I've got everything now." There's a pause. "...so are you the Bakura from Locke, or...?" Help him out there, man, he was leaving that hanging for a reason.
chalicejoker: (Wait What)

1/???

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2018-10-27 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Just...give Hajime a moment to process that..."Uh..."
chalicejoker: (Dude no)

2/???

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2018-10-27 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
"That's..."
chalicejoker: (Well that is a mild surprise)

3/okay I'm done

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2018-10-27 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
"What." This was about all Hajime could manage at this story. "You're really lucky I've seen a lot of really, really weird stuff at this point, or else I probably wouldn't believe any of this."
chalicejoker: (Perplexed)

[personal profile] chalicejoker 2018-10-27 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hajime grimaced. "Don't remind me of that...and all of this sounds pretty complicated."
chalicejoker: (Looking Down)

"I haven't played any in forever. Always liked fighting games more, anyway." And no one was surprised.

There was a grimace. "Parallel universes can be a little too on the nose sometimes, yeah..." Traveling had taught him that much.
chalicejoker: (Concerned)

"At least some things are consistent." Hajime winces a little. "That's...I don't..." There's a long sigh. He doesn't like to think about outliving Amane, even though he knows that's just what comes with being an Undead. "Just when I thought things couldn't get any weirder."
