[Video]

[Marco appears to have nodded off on his communicator despite efforts to stay awake. It doesn't take long for him to completely jerk out of it, and seemingly out of nowhere kick a table into the wall, smashing it into firewood, and coursing blue flames down an arm.]

I'll get to it when I can! [Growling at no one, good for your insanity. But after a few blinks it comes back to him where he is and he shakes his head, expression as deadpan as ever as he puts on the flames and goes to turn on the communicator, only to find it already recording.]

I kind of broke the table. Sorry. I'll replace it or something. [Drags a palm down his face trying to figure out "what now."]

Hey Discedo, what would you say defines who you are? Who or what you choose to be? Your obligations, or to you is it just a birthright? Just curious.

[And with that he's slowly sneaking back over to the couch with his Pops' giant coat and curling up under it while he figures out how to turn off the video again.]

[same with him askld;k all this to stranger] I'm sorry, too.

I hope so. I was able to see something I wasn't able to before, and am trying to change that for the better... [wow vague, but he's unsure as to how to put it.]

[fierybluebird]

No, it's fine, helpful really.

I see, sounds like a struggle, but so long as you've no regrets, well worth it, eh.

[Totally quoting his father there and trying to be strong like Pops...]

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

Ah.. Thank you.

[fierybluebird]

Anytime.

So is that why you're not sure about your identity now?

[Sneaky pirate bastard, just when you think they're distracted...]

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

Um!

Y-Yes, in a way...

[fierybluebird]

Sometimes the strongest thing a person can do is realize their previous goals were foolish, or not really going to make them happy and then change their course for the better.

And to have a goal of protecting one's friends being such a strong cause; sounds like you've got a better picture of what you want to be even more now than before, eh.

[he hopes you're right, marco.]

Do you believe fate can be changed?

[fierybluebird]

I think so.

Watching history unfold is a little like physics. A force in motion tends to stay in motion unless stopped by another object (or objects) of equal or greater force. Sometimes it's just a matter of finding the right force, or being that strong yourself.

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

... All right. Then I'll keep trying.

[fierybluebird]

Sometimes even just that will help you find a way.

I'm Ryou Bakura, by the way. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr...?

[fierybluebird]

Marco, just Marco.

Nice to meet you Ryou. Or do you prefer Bakura?

[whiteduplicity.livejournal.com]

Marco, then.

Bakura's fine, if you wouldn't mind.

[fierybluebird]

As you wish Bakura.
