The Memory
RPG:
Role Play?
Got an e-mail from Chaosmage. Apparently the Memory
World is actually a very immersive RPG game between Yami and
Yami Bakura... very much like the Monster World game in the first
series. Yami's goal is to reunite with his aibou and regain the Item
pieces represented by playing cards (I think). Every Egyptian
character in the memory world is represented by a card in the real
world. If their ba runs out, or if they are no longer needed, their
card is placed in the graveyard pile and they turn to sand in the
memory world (so far, this has happened to Karimu and Thief Bakura).
Yami Bakura's goal is to kill Yami and resurrect
Zoku Necrophadisu... what that will accomplish, I'm not entirely
sure, but if history were to repeat, I'm assuming he'll be able to
make some sort of contract and gain a lot of power.
This means that three things are going on
so far:
1) Yugi's search for Yami's real name
2) RPG game (Yami vs. Yami Bakura)
3) Memory war within the game (Pharaoh
Yami
vs. Akunadin/Zoku Necrophadisu)
The game is actually taking place in a museum
where the tablet of the Nameless Pharaoh is stored. Interestingly
enough, the museum is owned (at least in part) by... Ryou's dad!! (O_O)
Supposedly the gaming table and everything
was set up by Ryou under the orders of Yami Bakura. Bakura's
all snide about it too, and Yami gets mad at Bakura for taking
advantage of his host.

Behind Bakura is the corpse of Akunadin, which was to be put
on display (can we say "ick"?) and above the game
table hangs the Puzzle. On the back of the playing cards are
Ankhs instead of the usual duel monster swirl pattern.
As it stands, within the game, Pharaoh and his team of priests
are losing badly, because of Akunadin, has betrayed the
Pharaoh, placed all the Items in the tablet, and is summoning
the demon(?!) Zork Necrophadisu to grant him dark powers (by
giving Akunadin a piece of Zork's soul... or so the rumour
goes). **deep breath**
|
There's also something about Bakura being
able to control time within the memory world. The priests are frozen
and Pharaoh Yami, although aware, has been rendered equally
immobile. Akunadin seems to be the only one unaffected by the
time-freeze and is free to place all the Items in the tablet.
|
Meanwhile, the bodies of Yugi and Co. have been trapped (shrunk?!)
within the game at Bakura's end of the board. Their souls are
still loose, however, and they seem
to be snooping around Yami's tomb (probably still
searching for Yami's real name). Yami, gets all upset
(understatement) about this Bakura takes
the moment to taunt him. Same old, ne? |
