RCA-I’m Alone… [Not Private At All/Everybody Can See This]

[whitewizardboy]

Akefia, is it okay if I came home? I don’t like it here. There’s too many people and they keep me up at night! And I miss Ra… And Squalo-san… can I call him Squalo? We lived together for two months. You’d think we could drop that…

Atem-san, can I call you just Atem? We’re friends, right? I don’t want to be so formal anymore. Friends shouldn’t act like you’re interacting with their parents’ friends.

You’re welcome to a free nibble anytime I’m not fainting like a little girl, Seth. You and your yami. Just don’t take too much. Akefia wouldn’t like that. And the bruises would be hard to hide.

Why won’t my roommates talk to me? Am I really that boring? Sure, I was AWOL for a while, but I’m not a bloody ghost. Or an alien from another bloody planet.

I need some tea…

[Oh, he'll love~ that] Thank you.

Being very formal is rather tiring.

[note_atem]

It's also polite, but no one was forcing you.

[whitewizardboy.livejournal.com]

Sure they were. I'm a third year student with perfect grades and perfect manners.

A reputation I've building for years in order to save some part of myself.

Did you know that the Spirit hated it when I was overly polite? It annoyed him and a way of rebelling against him.

It was fun.

[note_atem]

So that was you doing something for you. Again, no one was forcing you.

And no, I had not known that.

[whitewizardboy.livejournal.com]

Now you do.

Have you ever noticed I hardly ever do things for myself? It's quite astounding if you think about it. A seventeen year old that can't even stand up for himself.

How sad.

[note_atem]

There's no one that can change that behavior but you. And wallowing around in mock pity about it isn't going to help anyone.

[whitewizardboy.livejournal.com]

But how can I do anything when you Yamis do everything for me? I barely get a word in edgewise.

[note_atem]

Is that true, Ryou?

Honest?
Because I think you're very wrong.

It only takes one person standing to make a point.

[whitewizardboy.livejournal.com]

Really?

When has my opinion mattered?

I was a human punching bag for a spirit that had a kink for torture.

I was a target for Mariku before Yuugi changed his mind and I was too late to stop him. [The missing -kun was on purpose]

I offered my blood to Kaiba-san, but he refused on the grounds of hurting me when I wanted to help.

I can't even choose my own living quarters. Instead of a nice, quiet, comfortable home, I get sent to an overcrowded dorm that is more likely than not affecting my frail health.

Where were the choices in those?

[note_atem]

Your opinion has always mattered to me, Ryou. But no one can make you speak up. That is a choice you have to pick on your own.

It's sorry that you've resorted to this sort of nonsense to speak up about it, but when the real one steps back in, I'll remember this.

At least you're doing someone a bit of good.

[whitewizardboy.livejournal.com]

The real one?

But I am the real one, Atem. Just as real as you are.

[note_atem]

Ah, so you've taken over him, is that it?

[whitewizardboy.livejournal.com]

The last person to 'take over' me, was Bakura. No soul room for me to hide in, so no one can take over. And Bakura was smart enough to put some magic in the tattoo both my halves gave to me. He wanted to make sure no one but him could possess me again.

It's worked so far, wouldn't you say?

[note_atem]

So you are a separate entity that only looks like Ryou.

Thank you for this information.

[whitewizardboy.livejournal.com]

No, I am Bakura Ryou. Just as you were once Pharaoh long ago.

Just because I'm expressing personal opinions, I have to be accused of being possessed or having an evil twin?

I thought you said my opinions mattered to you.

[note_atem]

Ryou's opinions do matter.

Thank you for your time. You've helped me greatly. [AKA: You just lost the game.]

[whitewizardboy.livejournal.com]

But... I am me...

What's... happening?

[note_atem]

[And you're being ignored on this page too. Sorry. He's not falling for it. XD]

[whitewizardboy.livejournal.com]

Please... tell me what's going on?

All of these... where did... these posts... and comments...
