001 Beyond Birthday [Audio]

[beyondsighted]

[Had Beyond Birthday cared to put in the effort, he could probably name the exact genus and species of the prehistoric flora that surrounded him. He did not care. The only thing that matters at the moment is that this place is not Room four-oh-four. His thoughts are scattered in chaotic disarray, an unpredictable, teeming mass of anger, annoyance,

[[Someone answering to his name- rather his false identity- just showed up on the system. Ultimately, the voice sounds too familiar, too much like something he thought he had been done with some time ago. L decides the best thing to do, for everyone's sake is investigate and hope to Kira God he was wrong.

If he could show up here and he was dead, Light was here, Misa was here, Misora... Then he really starts to hope this is going to be unhappy coincidence. Please be coincidence. But not showing his face, the voice from another time, the way he speaks, the very tone he uses... It all points too irrefutably to one thing. One person.

He's got to get away from Light, somewhere perhaps that the boy was still in visual range, but not in audio range if he could manage. It shouldn't be too hard, Light is giving him the cold shoulder over an -ahem- accidental run in with a smaller dinosaur (What it looked innocent enough? How was he supposed to know there'd be more of them? Sure the distinguishing features were carnivorous but--) that turned rather into a bit of a running spree.]]

Ryuzaki what?

[[Him.]]

[Adjusting himself on the leathery skin of the poor creature B had woken up on- though it probably had no idea B was perched on there, light as he is- he pulls himself into a more comfortable squatting position. Audio is disappointing. The lack of an answer is disappointing. The interest in his name however... could it be? He hadn't dared hope that he could be here as well... not really, anyway.]

What of Ryuzaki?

[Audio] REVERSE MY TROLL WILL YOU!?

[thumbonmylip]

[[L was more and more convinced by the simple, probing answer that he received that this was him after all. Why now? On top of damned Dinosaurs and trying to get to the ship with Light, he was going to have to deal with a maniac.]]

That's not an answer, Ryuzaki who?

[[This time his voice is more demanding, and more full of that authority that would normally come with a capital L on the screen instead of a simple audio.]]

Re: [Audio] REVERSE IT AND SERVE IT SUNNY SIDE UP, YES.

[beyondsighted]

[The reaction he gets is exactly the one he had been praying for, or would have been praying for had he believed in gods. B is thrilled but save for a full-on smile invisible through audio, his tone remains as calm and collected as ever.]

Who wants to know?

[Audio] LOLILOVEYOU

[thumbonmylip]

[[That, in return is all that L needed to know to know his worst fears had come to light. Quite literally to Light too. His voice is just as even as the man who mimics everything else about him- he's not sure that he's in his ...L!Skin, but it was creepy to even consider. Something about this man never sat right with L, besides the obvious things about him.]]

I'm sure we can do away with these pleasantries. Am I correct?

Re: [Audio] XDD ILU TOO BB. SEE WHAT I DID THAR

[beyondsighted]

[So it is L. B isn't quite sure what to make of this. Ten minutes from burning. Ten minutes from beating this man. He had been robbed of his destiny, a mere six hundred seconds too early. The gasoline had been right there, open and ready for use. He had resigned himself to that fate- only to find himself here. But! He grins slightly, breaking deadpan entirely. But this is a second chance. L is here. B can still win.]

About what percentage would you put this at?

[Audio]

[thumbonmylip]

[[B isn't the only one who's not quite sure, aside from a sense in the pit of his stomach that nothing good can come of this. Not one thing can be salvageable when this man is involved. He looks over toward Light's sleeping form in the near vicinity and then gives his projection.]]

I think appropriately it's 2 in a trillion.

[[He's not giving you anything else to learn by, B, you can learn how to do your own damned percents.]]

This is a forewarning, I wont tolerate deviance here.

[Audio]

[beyondsighted]

[Oh, B would laugh, but according to his research, L didn't laugh. It would be very un-L like of B to laugh. He suppresses the happy-dare he describe it as such?- giggle being lectured by L actually gives him.]

Deviancy~? Why, I'm as straight as a ruler and as crooked as you.

[Audio]

[thumbonmylip]

[[The way that B gets his crack in there at L makes him seethe, enough that his teeth clench behind his tightly sealed, thin lips. How dare he compare himself to him.]]

Consider yourself warned.

[[L sets away his communicator and makes his slow way back to the camp, trying not to send some sort of coordinates and end this before it starts.]]

[Disappointment courses through B's veins when the connection goes dead. He pouts ever-so-slightly. It shouldn't have hurt his feelings- he hadn't expected it to, and yet it did. If L thought it would be this easy to get rid of B, then... B would have to convey his message a little more forcefully.]

That was insurmountably rude, L.

[thumbonmylip]

[[L, having plopped himself down somewhere near, but not too near to Light's sleeping form (it's his watch), plucked his PCD upward between his spindly fingers and looked it over with deadpan eyes and matching expression.

It seemed their little conversation wasn't so easily ended.]]

We've said what we needed to. Were you expecting something else from me?

[beyondsighted]

[B, now unusually comfortable on the back of a dinosaur, leisurely settles on all fours. It's time for a test.]

Did you enjoy our little game?

perpetual text xD

[thumbonmylip]

[[L tries to keep himself quiet, still attentive to the surroundings for that matter while Light sleeps, but a grunted sound makes its way from his chest.]]

Do you want me to answer that truthfully, or prepare convoluted lies?
