Game 4 | Game 4 Outline |
You shake your head at Mark. His idea sounds too dangerous. If it doesn't work, you'll anger the Gucci monkeys and become tree food for sure. Besides, you weren't one of the stars of your debate team for nothing!
You launch into your spiel about having a safety deposit box and how you have to sign for the contents in person. At first, the Gucci monkeys are naturally suspicious, as well they should be. But your description of your grandmother's Hermes scarf proves too tempting for them. They decide that they'll let you go, but not right away. Mark still has to ante up with some information.
The monkeys reposition themselves above the two of you. Mark's monkey plunges her toes into his armpits and has him laughing at once. Your monkey starts to follow suit, more out of boredom than anything else, you think, but after a few giggles you warn her that if she tickles you too much you might forget the secret number of the box. She stops tickling you, but Mark's tickle-torture goes on.
Soon, though, something happens. An object suddenly appears in Mark's hand, glowing with a powerful light. Mark's hair becomes paler and longer, and his laughter no longer is that of a tickle-tortured teenager but takes on the cadence of an anime villain. He cries, "By the power of my Millenium Rod, I command you to release me!"
The Gucci monkeys scamper away. As if by magic, you and Mark are both released to the ground. "Mark?" you say.
"Not Mark... Marik!" he replies.
You realize that Mark has transformed into Marik Ishtar from Yu-Gi-Oh! This is trouble, you think to yourself, as you only have a vague idea of what the anime was about. You aren't even sure whether this is the redeemable Marik who was bad enough or his really evil inner self. Now if only Yugi were here... or if you at least had another of the Millenium Items... or if you could even remember what the other items were anyway or what they did...
