fall out boy intensifies
Who: Thief King Bakura & you
Where: Your bedroom. Yes, yours.
When: Llama 20
What: Bakura has decided she's waited long enough to get the heat off of her. She wastes no time doing the things she do.
Warnings: She has broken into your cabin. So don't tag in unless you're okay with that.
[ Bakura has been lurking.
She has been lurking so well she basically missed the whole platform. The whole mission, too - whatever. But her secret explorations have her thinking stealing the Voidtrecker Express isn't going to be something she can actively plan for. (Something she can someday absolutely do, sure! When she sees an opening!)
What's more, it's now been enough time that she bets nobody is gonna care what she's up to anyway. She doesn't see a guard....
It would be smart to keep lying low.
But it would also be dull.
In short, when next you open your still-completely-locked cabin door, there is a woman standing there. Holding your stuff.
She turns, and, without looking too upset, raises a hand. ]
Yo!

[It depended on how bored he was. Thieves weren't usually enough to hold his interest. And given the situation, the most likely identification was either thief or spy.]
For the record, the only thing of value here are mystery novels. All of which I've already read.
no subject
Value to you.
[ The fuck is a mystery novel.....Oh, it's these. These papyrus things. They look kind of like the Millennium Tome. Bakura begins flipping through them, heedless of the fact that their owner is standing right there judging her with all the fury of his, what, six inches of height? ]
I'm a connoisseur of crime, kiddo. Anything can be treasure to the King of Thieves - if she wants it enough.
no subject
[So much judgement. If you're going to be a thief, at least be an interesting one.
He snorts.]
Are you trying to be Moriarty?

[ Bakura cocks an eyebrow. Is she trying to what the whaaaa? ]

[ How is one good at "of"? Doesn't matter. SHE IS. ]
no subject
You have no idea what I'm talking about. [ He reaches up at points at one of the books in her hands. ]
A version of the story is written in that one. Moriarty was a fictional master criminal in my world. He was nicknamed the Napoleon of Crime, which you could roughly translate the the Emperor of Crime. Napoleon was a well known ruler of one of the countries in my world.

[ Bakura barks a laugh and tosses all the books except the one Conan had indicated onto the nearest bunk. ] Thanks for savin' me the trouble, kid. This is the only tome worth taking......
[ An emperor of crime. A well-known ruler. She's tempted to crack this book open and find him right away, so she can gloat to the kid about how much better than this Moriarty she is! ]
no subject
...Something like that.
[ It hurts Conan a little going along with that explanation. But he didn't really want to go into details on the differences between legends and famous novels. And the history of the mystery and detective genres, for that matter. ]
And like I said, I've already read it so it doesn't have any value to me. I was just going to take it to the library.
she means this, too. he will get her book review. because he amuses her.
[ Not sure what he's so miffed about (there are any number of options!), but it's still funny. Bakura flicks through the book, shuts it.
Decides the most insufferable thing to do is turn to leave, with a wave, so that's precisely what she does. ] I'll let you know what I think!
