gj surviving the demon world how about a nice MURDER

So! Thief King Bakura has structured her entire life around tormenting and ultimately murdering the Pharaoh for whom Yugi is a dead ringer (this being the backstory of like, 2/3 of Yugioh villains). Kaiba looks like one of the Pharaoh's priests, as well. Past life shenanigans.

This means that after seeing the two of them on the platform, Bakura is going to lay a trap for them on the train and attempt (potentially succeed; up to Yugi & Kaiba's players) to kill them. I am COMPLETELY fine with her receiving whatever punishment is appropriate - somebody else offing her in return, extensive time in medbay, I'm open to suggestions.

I also want this to be fun for the people who opt in and affect people who want to opt out as minimally as possible. Who all wants to be in on this? Who definitely does not? What is the best way OOCly and ICly to make sure this only has ramifications for the people who are interested in engaging with the plot? What should everyone do with Bakura afterwards? With the help of a monster living in her soul (think Stands....), she can slip through walls and repel joint attacks, though the mods have confirmed the "you can only get out of this medbay if somebody lets you out" thing DOES mess with her powers.

FWIW after whatever happens here I'm going to have Bakura decide that since her quarry is very well-guarded, she shall Bide Her Time re: going after them again. This will keep her from being an outright homicidal menace while everyone is in close quarters, although it will not stop her from being an ass and potentially deliberately trying to mess with anybody who assists with the "capture the thief" operation.

I also plan on using cut text for all violent threads & staging the attempt NOT on the platform, to make opting out more feasible. How else can I set this up that will work for everyone?

It will be a success with Yugi anyway because no way to actually defend himself. But this will lead to Yugi coming back the next day and actually wanting to talk to her because he wants to try and understand the other's perspective because he actually doesn't know what she actually went through and why she is the way she is.

Also to just show her that you know, he will just come back so as to not do that again because it serves 0 purposes.

please someone accompany yugi to this talk

Seto might be too injured to go right away, but...he's both in awe and worried about Yugi's resilient optimism.

If Casper does end up handling cleanup and talking to Seto after, I’m more than happy to have him talk to Yugi the next day or so. Just to check on him... coming back from death is hard, even if you try to hide it with cheer.
