I had an interesting thought at work today for a Marik/Melvin headcanon.

Naturally it takes place in an AU post canon to the real thing or even YGOTAS.
In a time where Marik/Melvin has returned to the land of the living/has his own body. (Though I might use this in a fic I want to update…)

But imaging Marik playing with something that requires batteries. Like an old gameboy color or something and just enjoying himself. He goes to show someone something on the screen but when the device leaves his hands it just dies.
The other person tries to calm him down by saying it just needs new batteries and to relax, they’ll fix it and he can have fun going though the game again.
But when they go to change the batteries they discover the compartment is empty. But it was clearly on before, they saw it with their own eyes. That’s weird as all get out but when they ask Marik/Melvin what happened he just takes it back to examine it himself a it turns on again but at the start up screen of course.

Turns out Marik/Melvin has the odd ability to mess with electronics like a poltergeist/ghost or whatever.

I don’t know. I liked the dumb idea. What do you guys think?
