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?

Xander is an empath. While he usually tries to be busy on platform days (and thus will not be stuck near Kaiba or Yugi like glue), he's especially sensitive to Kaiba since Seto's some of his closer CR. He may not make it much to the rescue, but Seto will have a tall, winged bodyguard after the fact at the very least.

He'd also do his best to soothe Seto after the event, to try to help him back on as even a keel he can get to, all things considered...

He's probably the person Seto is the most willing to open up to, so...yes, he's very much needed here. Hope he doesn't mind that bro's a Mess.

These things happen...wouldn't be the first time, just the first with Seto. :)
