EnsTren: this is a very cute image in my head, sad
Edmondia: oh?
EnsTren: Seto is curled up, sobbing and clutching his
plushie.
EnsTren: Seth has him in his lap, holding him and
rocking him and going "Shhh... shhh," kissing his hair and
wiggling the head of the plushie a little so it's like it's
alive, you know how your parents used to do.
Edmondia: what set him off this time?
EnsTren: possibly some news that included people
dying by his weapons
Edmondia: hn... dunno about that...
Edmondia: I would think he'd have them destroyed
EnsTren: but if they were already sold
Edmondia: subterfuge
EnsTren: and they wouldn't sell them back?
Edmondia: espionage
EnsTren: too suspicious
EnsTren: I mean, here he is, buying back all these
weapons, and then the guys who won't sell them back,
the weapons suddenly go missing/defective/whatever?
Edmondia: buy them back under pseudonym
Edmondia: ...whoa, Jounouchi.
Edmondia: um, getting vague impression of people talking
smack about Kaiba, and Jou retaliating with a hella lotta
violence
EnsTren: in which universe?
Edmondia: ours
EnsTren: we have many
Edmondia: any of them, I think
EnsTren: the ones with a Seth you mean
EnsTren: weird, have a sudden image of Jou witnessing
part of Seto's mental reordering fits
EnsTren: I think that most of his fits, esp the early ones,
and all of them that involve regression, are... how do I
say this?
EnsTren: he still had a lot of crap in him even after
pulling his soul together, and these are further
straightening out, giving him things a child needs, some of
them
EnsTren: playing and crying and being able to depend
on someone
Edmondia: a lot of repression coming undone very quickly
EnsTren: anyways, I had an image of Jou walking in on
one of these child fits
EnsTren: Seto not realizing it, too busy sobbing his big
ole heart out
Edmondia: Jounouchi having sympathy pangs
Edmondia: those two do have a lot in common
Edmondia: but yeah, I can see Jou softening towards
Kaibaboi
EnsTren: he's so messed up, and he wasn't born into
this, he fought his way into it
EnsTren: and sold his soul for his brother
Edmondia: and Jounouchi can definitely appreciate that
Edmondia: can see a lazy day at Yugi's house
Edmondia: omotes having quiet time together while the yamis
play an evil game of pictonary
Edmondia: or something
Edmondia: was considering twister, but that would just be
waaaaaaaaaay too demented
EnsTren: yeah, and no need for an orgy
EnsTren: or for Atemu to lose
Edmondia: it wouldn't be an orgy, it would be a bloodbath
Edmondia: at any rate, I can see them pairing off into teams
and trying to systematically kill each other
EnsTren: Battle Royale!
Edmondia: more like battle of the flying markers
Edmondia: Seto's playing tic-tac-toe with Yugi
EnsTren: ties
Edmondia: they're being all sleepy and noncombative about
it, though
EnsTren: Seto's cute and sweet when he's tired and/or
out of it
Edmondia: and he's got Mokuba napping on his lap, which
mellows him out even more
Edmondia: Jounouchi's staring up at the ceiling aimlessly,
Anzu's painting her toenails, and Bakura and Malik are having a
staring contest
EnsTren: with a kitty!
EnsTren: loser has to keep the kitty
EnsTren: Malik has extra incentive cause he kinda lives
by the old ways and would have to shave his eyebrows
when it died
EnsTren: Isis would make him
Edmondia: evil big sister
Edmondia: kitty's name: "Hellspawn"
EnsTren: and when they lose they put it on Seto's
head
EnsTren: and Seto doesn't care cause he's all tranqed
out
Edmondia: "Kaiba?"
EnsTren: Seto: *eyes flutter half way open* wha-?
*less articulate than Jou*
Edmondia: "There's a cat on your head."
EnsTren: "'s warm."
EnsTren: "An' a Mok'ba on lap."
EnsTren: "D'sit make a gud 'at?"
Edmondia: "Yup. S'all... fuzzy."
EnsTren: "'Sa Gud 'at?"
Edmondia: "Yup."
EnsTren: "Gud 'at or gud 'at?"
Edmondia: "S'both."
EnsTren: "Eeee... lucksies and haspies meeee..." He
looks like he's about to fall over.
Edmondia: "I'm happy, you're happy, we're all happy," Yugi
slurred, sprawling out across the coffee table.
EnsTren: "'Ant 'affine."
Edmondia: "...s'in the kitchen."
EnsTren: "'Ant Y'mi."
Edmondia: "S'killin'... Malik's yami..."
EnsTren: "...'is 'air is shiiiiiiny."
Edmondia: "Whose 'air...?"
EnsTren: "M'lick's an' 'is y'mi's."
Edmondia: "Yeah... s'all... gold..."
EnsTren: "Y'mi! If yeh 'ill M'lick's y'mi scalp 'im! 'Is
'air ish shiny!"
Edmondia: "...hikari, are you drunk?"
EnsTren: "Nnno."
Edmondia: "Mmkay, we'll scalp him."
Edmondia: "Heh. Cooooooooooool."
EnsTren: Seto swayed and didn't feel that cat's claws
dig into his scalp.
Edmondia: "Yer cat looksh dizzy, Kaiba," Yugi mumbled into
the table.
EnsTren: "Ish not a 'at, ish a 'at."
Edmondia: "The fuzzy thing on yer head looksh dizzy, then."
EnsTren: "Mebbe it c'n wear M'lick's scalp?"
Edmondia: "Mebbe."
EnsTren: "....'ant choc'late."
Edmondia: "...'AMI!"
EnsTren: "Y'MI!"
Edmondia: Two heads poked inquisitively into the room.
EnsTren: "'Eed us choc'late!"
EnsTren: Seto opened his mouth.
Edmondia: The two exchanged a long-suffering look and
vanished into the kitchen.
EnsTren: The hikaris looked like baby birds with their
mouths open.
Edmondia: They came back, chocolate in hand, and settled
next to their respective omotes, obediently feeding them.
EnsTren: Their omotes climbed into their laps and ate in
synch, it was kind of funny. Seto still had his cat hat and
Mokuba lap pillow.
Edmondia: "...I wanna 'ami."
EnsTren: "Aibou, you're not making sense."
Edmondia: Yugi chewed. "S'not me. S'Jou."
EnsTren: "Doggy y'mi? Bulldog."
Edmondia: "'Amis give ya choclate. Wanna 'ami for
chocolate."
EnsTren: Seto was chewing his hand fed chocolate,
which is the only reason why he didn't make a scathing
(if slurred and drunken) remark, or more likely a face, at
him.
Edmondia: "He has a point, pretty light."
EnsTren: "'Ka--Hee-kari's buy the ch'late, though. Or
Hee-kari's jiichan's."
Edmondia: "Yes, but we feed you. Aibou, don't bite me
unless you want to get woken up very forcefully."
EnsTren: "Ah 'ave servants t' do that. If I wanted em
to."
Edmondia: "Not everyone can afford servants like you, hikari,
and no, you don't want."
EnsTren: He smiled and licked his yami's fingers.
Edmondia: Seth growled playfully at him.
EnsTren: "D' y' like meh 'at 'at?"
EnsTren: He pointed up at it.
Edmondia: "Yes, I like your cat hat. The color is very
becoming on you."
EnsTren: His hikari smiled like only children and drunks
can.
EnsTren: All innocent and silly.
Edmondia: He leaned over and rubbed noses with him.
EnsTren: "'Skimo 'isses!"
EnsTren: He giggled, utterly delighted and rubbed noses
back.
Edmondia: "See? See?! S'why I want a 'ami! S'all... cute!"
EnsTren: "Yeh cin 'ave teh Mil-millenium dog bone!"
Edmondia: "Ha ha. Meany."
EnsTren: "Heheeee."
Edmondia: Yugi was giggling.
EnsTren: Happy hikaris! The Yamis were blessed!
