First I wanna say, I'm not mad at any of ya. Your not worth it. So... because my hikari insists I apologize... "Sorry." There. *shudders* DON'T ANY OF YOU EVER MAKE ME SAY THAT FRIGGIN WORD EVER AGAIN! *growls* I need to take some energy out on someone else now... (Which means, don't read the next section.)
*********rant on the evils of flamers***
Ever since I started writing this rulebook, some people have been constantly trying my patience. Oh well. Mortals are ever so easily ignored. Hah. Wouldn't the world be a horrible place if the smart ones actually listens to the ones who thought they were smart? Heh.
*yawns and stretches* I'm sure most all of more loyal of you would be happy to take care of the said problems, but, nevertheless, if the "helpful" reviewers (flamers who just happen to say their not flamers) want to waste their EVER SO precious time reviewing and correcting me, sure. Let them. Maybe I'd a like a personal slave-er-editor.
*rethinks that* Actually, I'm perfectly self-sufficient. I'm not here to elaborate facts about the series and junk. If they wanted solid info, of course they wouldn't look HERE. When I'm ranting and comparing the dub to the original, I'm usually using words such as "about" and "probably" which goes to show I wasn't trying to give facts anyway, just estimated times and more probable reasons. If I'm not allowed to use my brain to think, I'm suing god. I've got my own opinions on why they didn't air the original Japanese versions.
*muttering* And why the fuck should I care? That's just it. I don't. So take your EVER SO precious time else where.
Maybe I just consider the "helpful" reviewers who go from yelling about your grammar and facts to saying some sort of no offense rant flamers... It's common courtesy when you review to go "This is a great story! (hell, even if its not, its a nice thing to say, especially to new authors) but you might wanna see if you kind find a spell check someplace. ^_^;; This is coming along nicely as it is, by the way, did you know if you go to settings you can make it so even anonymous people can leave reviews? It really adds up! Write more!"
You always have to be nice. Always. Or else you get people like me, who spend half their "authors notes" at the beginning of their chapters ranting about how rude you are. Just a warning.
The good news... soon, I'm moving my rulebook elsewhere. My own website. That way you can leave reviews much easier. Or flames. And there, on my site, if you flame, I'll cuss you out even more and you won't be able to do a THING about it. Bwahaha! Besides. Even if one of you delete my story, my loyal fans have a copy, willing to lend it to me so I can post it back up on...perhaps... another pen name? I could always use a new host body....
*******rant over, continue fic as normal***
My favorite magazine... Actually, I don't read magazines. Sorry, but I use that time plotting to get the puzzle.
I need a valid reason for the puzzle.
Honestly. Pharaoh is being a jerk. So now I know it wasn't HIS fault in particular Kru-elna was destroyed. And he knows it wasn't his fault either. So what? Why won't he just lend me the puzzle anyway so I can use it? Hmmm?! It's not like I'm gonna murder anyone.
Is he so greedy that he thinks the items will use up their powers and come back useless?
It's not so much I want the items for revenge anymore, and that's the truth. It's not pharaohs fault. He was only like, what? Five at the time? But he's got to understand... the only reason I still HATE his guts is that he was the one who cursed me to the Ring for all eternity. I can't even kill myself.
Yah.... I can feel pain. But I don't have to if I don't want to. I'm so used to it it's pleasureful. (is pleasureful a word? ....eh...oh well.)*shrugs and nods* I could fall asleep in a big puddle of my own blood and wake up like nothing happened. And they'd be no evidence... the Ring is strange like that.
Now some of you would find that just plain disturbing. But now I'm going to give you something to really make you feel sorry for me.
Have you ever been so hungry it hurt so much that you couldn't sleep and tossed and turned all night? Well.... I had no food in the Ring. Obviously. I starved. I couldn't die, but I starved, and it was painful. But since it was such a common occurrence after a while, I developed a high tolerance to it.
Food is such a luxury... Don't have to eat, but, damn, I missed food, must eat more.
*******
Ah... heh. You assume I'm a non-yaoi fan. Well, listen up. In Egypt, it wouldn't have made a difference. It still doesn't. I just prefer to remain single for all my purposes. I dislike people who are anti with things such as yaoi simply because they have no reason to be STEREOTYPING the rest of us. Millions of people take offense to your anti-same gender relations. I'm am indifferent, I just prefer to be single. Or at least, appear to remain single.
Even if I was with someone, it would put them in danger... All you fangirls are rabid sometimes, you know this don't you? It's an obvious weakness to have a loved one in danger. I'm one for making sure I appear to have no weakness to anything. You all should too. I'm sure there's more thrill to keeping secrets anyways. *small grin* Not that I would know, me being single, right?
*******
Oh? And no one assumed Ryou *wasn't* my first host? It just so happens I've had three others. The first one died within the first fifteen minutes. Um... that was an accident on my part. He wasn't willing to listen to voices in his head anyways. The second lasted about two hours.
The second was a thief who'd stolen my Ring. I thought about it for a while. But his arrogance really bugged me, and NO ONE is allowed to steal from the Thief King. Never steal from a fellow thief. The consequences are deadly if you aren't a friend who's kidding around. So yah... killed him off.
The third one was much older in stature. He was a tall, muscular guy, around thirty-eight. He lasted two horrid months. He pushed me around whenever I attained physical form to try and get the Ring to some more preferable host. I don't like being pushed around, taken advantage of, or locked up against my will. He began to understand this. The shadow realm scared the piss out of him, and when I murdered some random guy just so he'd get sent to prison, he saw it was my doing. But he couldn't push me around while he was in prison.
In physical form, when I can spare the energy to do so, others may or may not be able to see me. And I may or may not be able to walk through solid objects.
Anyway, I teased the third guy, who preceded in using his own brute force for the billionth time against me, his one advantage over me, to shove me into the cell bars. I passed right through and laugh at him. He demanded that since I could get out I should help him. and then what? Be kiss his feet? Hah. I killed him almost on the spot. Living in Spain wasn't fun anyway. I knew they'd be a new host... sometime within the next millennium.
So there in brief summary were my other hosts you'll never hear about from any source. Except for a brief mention of the second one sometime... *thinks* Shadi must have learned of it, he was in charge of making sure the items weren't lost to time.
Most recently, there is Ryou. He was my youngest host yet. And times had changed dramatically since the last one. And I didn't want to be taken advantage of. I wanted to live "again" longer this time, shape him into the model host.
...and much later, now, I look back on that and see that wasn't "right" in the sense of the word. I shouldn't have done anything I'd done. I realized just how much I needed him, even though he betrayed me constantly. And going after Mokuba's body was rather foolish of me as well. If his soul came back, he would have grown up the same way Ryou did, and he would betray me eventually too. He was small and useless for my cause anyways.
There's alot to say on the topic of Ryou... but I won't go into everything right this moment.
*********
As someone brought up, there was plenty of incest in Egypt to keep the royal blood flowing. Too bad all that interbreeding made them all go weird. And as you may have guessed, perhaps, that's the reason pharaoh is so short. I mean, come on, he's two feet smaller than Seto...
Some stuff quoted from reviews...
Never underestimate any teachers. Especially since they'll chew your head off for talking in class. (No kidding... thanks Jen. And by the way, sorry, but I don't do house calls, I can't get rid of Leon or Rikku for you.)
The evils of demanding parents... and how to deal with them. (How to deal with them? Do as they say, but demand something in return. Cash, ice cream, books, something.... Start small, get big. Like, start with socks... something practical.)
How do you exactly decorate a white, empty room? (Easy, you use shadow magic, make it a dark, empty room, and then layer it with wide stairs, and lots of shelves with gold artifacts. And your bed being nothing but a sweeping basket bed filled with all sorts of blood red pillows. Hmmm.. wonder if they started off white.. I can't remember...)
********
Yes, the manga is the original version. The first series is based off the manga. One difference. The anime first series has Miho. And in the manga, she was nonexistent except for her being known as Ribbon and Tristin liking her. If you want me to go into that... (Ra, please, say no) I will. And by the way, the same fangirls that hang off Duke Devlin (Otogi Ryuji) are the same ones that hung off of me and Ryou a few years earlier.
*******
Oh wow. This chapter is over already?
To really live, you have to be willing to die.
One sure way to make a person worry is to tell them not to.
Conversation is the art of telling people a little less than what they want to know of you.
Don't explain yourself. Your allies shouldn't need it, and your enemies won't believe you anyways.
**********
Final note....
...yes, YES, I know. Ryou is NOT albino. I was only thinking about it. Pondering that even though its impossible for Bakura to albino because he had a tan in Egypt doesn't exactly mean Ryou can't be alino. Maybe that Bakura had magenta eyes in the first series is what set you all off, but he isn't albino... RYOU on the other hand.... Give me PROOF he ain't albino. Not Bakura. He's not. But what about Ryou? *shrugs* I don't care either way.
