let's see if I remember how to lj

*There seems to be an Isis with a shopping basket hanging from one arm standing between two stores (Big Bill's Cat-Shaped Balloon Emporium and Dramatic Coats 4 All) and looking mildly perturbed.*

A wrong turn, maybe...?

*Perhaps she's new. (Yes.)*

Well hey I remember you! =D

[ourlittlequeen]

[There was one girl coming down the hall the other way, but when she turns a corner and spots Isis the gal stops, stares wide-eyed, and then morphs into another girl who actually speaks up.]

You. [Yes, you! Woman with mysterious connections to what's going on in her world!

Except you probably aren't her, huh.]

[ourlittlequeen]

Then, if I can talk to you as her-

[What does she have to say to her? What is there left to do but what she always planned? Yami no Yuumi still plans to finish this, but.]

She said this battle would be to face the last item, and find my memories. But now, it isn't just my partner and I at risk. Kaiba, Aoi, Jounouchi- All of them could have been killed, too.

Is there a way for me to face Marik, without chancing my friends?

[nomorevisions]

*Her hand ghosts up to her neck, though there's nothing there.*

If... I had known of any way to ensure that no one else could be caught in this, I would have striven for it. I'm sorry.

[ourlittlequeen]

[-she hadn't noticed that. And the spirit gives the bare neck a curious look, even if she's continuing the conversation.]

But if I had known, I might have been able to do something myself.

[Even if the other gal in this mind points out they're sticking with them now, anyways.]

[nomorevisions]

But you did do so much. No... I believe the reason you were able to do what you did was that you weren't alone.

Your friends acted on their own will. It's admirable to wish to keep them from harm, but you can't make their choices for them.

[ourlittlequeen]

-I'm not saying I didn't need them there. Or they didn't help.

[Definitely not, but Marik was taking the choice from her friends, and making them do things they would never choose to do. Even if they would risk that...

But now that she's stopped looking for answers, or confronting in general, the pharaoh gal is almost, awkward. Thus struggling to say any of that.]

...what do you mean, what I did? Are you saying I- that 'Yugi' succeeded?

[nomorevisions]

*Looks a bit unsure of how much to say.*

You... You saved us all.

*Including Malik, but she's not sure how the Pharaoh would take that from... that point in time.*

[ourlittlequeen]

[-shock might not be the word for it, but woah.

There's a "You see?! I knew it we would make it through this!" cheer going on in her head that's getting filtered into a relieved relaxing of Forever Tense Pose.]

Everyone? Then-

I don't need to know anything else. If you say no one was lost in your world, we can make it happen in ours. That's what matters.

awww yuumi

[nomorevisions]

*Short nod.*

I... have complete faith in you.

^~^

[ourlittlequeen]

Aa.

[Confident smile.]

That means a lot, coming from you.

[Given she had a hand setting this path for her. ...er, Yugi.]
