RP History: B spent nearly seven months in Disturbia - a strange, sprawling metropolis with an eerie subterranean counterpart, the Undercity. He woke in a mostly unremarkable apartment after a brief blackout period; the last thing B remembered before regaining consciousness in this new locale was walking into an apartment in Los Angeles where under the false persona of an “unprivate detective” by the name of Rue Ryuzaki, he’d set up a final stakeout to apprehend the criminal behind a series of bizarre, gruesome murders - an elaborate charade, given that B himself was the perpetrator of the series of murders.
When B awoke in Disturbia, he found that his personal effects (namely, his business cards) had been taken from him, and he’d been left instead with a wallet containing Disturbian currency and a handheld communication device. He was given no concrete explanation as to why or how he’d been brought to this city, or even where exactly Disturbia was located. B sent an encoded text post to the network via his communication device - a test of sorts, to see who might be watching, who might respond. A boy named Belphegor who claimed to be a prince was the only person to break B’s code and respond in a code of his own. From this, B concluded Belphegor was very smart, and from some of Belphegor’s comments, that he was not quite stable and, in all likelihood, quite dangerous. He introduced himself as the Ryuzaki persona, and decided to keep a close eye on him.
The next significant person B encountered on the Disturbia network was someone B knew from before - a fellow resident of the Wammy’s House orphanage by the codename of Mello. They’d only known each other in passing, previously; B was several years older than Mello, and served as something of an upperclassman and role model for the other boy. Thanks to the intricacies of multiverse logistics, the Mello B met in Disturbia was quite a bit older, from a point well past B’s own timeline. And - well, actually, there were two of them [“Original” and “Disturbed”; B took to calling them Mischa and M, respectively, so as not to give away their identities], each with slightly different personalities. B learned a great deal about the future from the Mellos - his own, theirs, and that of L, their common role model and aspiration.
L too had been brought to Disturbia, though B was not to learn this until much later on, and although they communicated over the network, it was, for the most part, inadvertent on B’s part - L did not reveal his identity to B until after they’d been in casual contact for a while. They only had one real conversation, and it went rather poorly - L refused to give B a straight answer about anything, and the entire exchange left B feeling trivialized, invalidated, and more or less enraged.
Partly as a result of this, and partly as a result of the growing camaraderie between himself and M, B’s obsessive nature shifted somewhat, from L to M instead. Their relationship resembled a tumultuous sort of friendship - B was more honest and used the “Ryuzaki persona” less around M, almost treating M as a confidante at times, yet he harbored a certain sense of resentment and jealousy at M’s relationship with L, something he desperately craved and had been denied. Both B and M acknowledged that they were alike in many ways; each pushed the other’s buttons with some regularity. Eventually, though, B came to realize how important M’s role was to be in avenging L’s death [and his own, too - B learned he would be killed by Kira, Light Yagami, who would also go on to kill L]. B saw that M had succeeded in some ways where he had failed; M had been chosen as a successor to L, while B had been a mere experimental prototype in the successor training program.
