Better Check the Warranty

[carbonatedscientist]

The problem started when Sento stumbled across that mustachioed dragon, and said dragon's self-proclaimed "amazing" wares. Sento hadn't thought them amazing, and he'd told the dragon so, and there had been a bit of an argument, up until the point at which Sento had found an odd-looking bracelet in the pile. It was a thin band of silver, and this band of silver was studded with several figural beads shaped like different animals--there was a rabbit, a hawk, a hedgehog, a panda, a gorilla...all animals Sento had corresponding FullBottles for, all animals he'd used as half of Build's transformation.

He'd been so taken by the coincidence that he'd haggled with the dragon for it, and in the process, he'd completely managed to miss the fact that the silver band that held all the animal beads was actually a sculpted cobra.

It is perhaps that cobra that made absent-mindedly putting the bracelet on a very bad idea. The bracelet was, rather unfortunately for Sento, just a tiny bit cursed. (This is, the dragon would claim, what Sento got for refusing to purchase the extended warranty, which would have covered cursed artifacts.)

Sento's hair is now white, his eyes are now red, and he's sort of prowling around the town, occasionally kicking over some townsperson's fruit stand or flower cart just because he can. Oh, the humanity of it all.

He decided to just...start walking away. "Alchemy of a sort, it's not important."

[shiromadoushi]

"Eh? Why do you say that?" Bakura asked, automatically following.

[carbonatedscientist]

"Because it just...doesn't matter." He quickened his pace.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura blinked a few times, easily keeping pace. "Of course it matters, why would you say it doesn't?" he asked, blinking again. "There's a big difference between alchemy and wizardry and other things, after all! Alchemy you need base materials, when you're a mage, you start out with energy, you don't need to convert it twice or anything like that!"

I'm so sorry

[carbonatedscientist]

Why. Why this? "It's like this." And he casually dropped a bottle that released a thick cloud of smoke, and when the smoke vanished, he was gone.

...and could be seen some distance away running like hell.

Bakura blinked twice before all but pouting. "Mou, you can't even pull the trick off right!" he called after, looking very put out as he crossed his arms. "A least duck behind a building or something, jeeze..." he sulked.
