[Introduction] Last Laugh
The game is over. Nobody won, any more than anyone in the Shinigami realm really won those interminable rounds of gambling. As soon as he realizes the game was coming to an end, that Light's fascinating plan had fallen apart, Ryuk leaves the warehouse, leaving the humans to squabble among themselves and phasing through the iron roof before vaulting into the sky and perching himself on top of a tall lighting mast, He sits there like a large skeletal crow, watching the world below, watching as his human pet staggers out into the -- heh-heh-heh -- dying light of a day coming to an end.
He takes the death note from the holster at his hip and taking a pen from a pouch at his belt, starts to write the wounded human's name on a clean page of the notebook. Given Light's condition, this gesture might seem an act of mercy, but as capable as Ryuk is of an almost human range of emotion, things like mercy and compassion aren't among them. Besides, if he felt that for Light, it will mean his own end and that's something Ryuk does not want to risk. If anything, he writes the name to follow the rules of their agreement, and to put an end to this feeling of boredom.
Even then, the boredome does not leave him, not as he watches Light staggering up a staircase before collapsing on the steps, his breathing already labored. Ryuk closes the death note and slots it back into his belt, staying only to watch the fire in the sky overhead fade into night.
No point in staying in the human realm, but he feels no hurry to return to the Shinigami Realm, either. He unfurls his wings from his upper back and lifts into the sky, climbing higher over the city, till the gathering clouds close in around him. He flies for some hours through a mist as murky as his thoughts. The clouds darken around him even more and flickers of lightning light up the gloom. Rumbles of thunder warn of an approaching storm, and while a bolt of lightning cannot affect him, flying in a storm isn't much fun either. The wind picks up, starting to buffet him around, like a coin in an empty tin. Ryuk spirals down below the clouds, finding himself over a forest and the peaked rooftops of a large house below him. This doesn't feel like the Shinigami Realm and there's way too much greenery as well, but it doesn't feel like the human realm either. It doesn't feel like any realm Ryuk has ever passed through and that novelty makes him curious. Maybe he'll find someone interesting here. Maybe there'll be some apples here, too: nice, crisp, red and.... oh yeah, juicy ones.
He lands on a porch roof and phases through a wall, entering the place to see what he can see...
Name: Ryuk
Fandom: Death Note
Media:Anime/manga
Other relevant info:Taken from the very end of the anime series. Note: He's got his death note with him, but he won't be dropping it any time soon, not without prior permission from ye puppeteer and after some consultation with the mods; the thing is pretty much a preternatural biochemical weapon and it's the last thing we want floating around the Mansion. Preternaturally gifted people and those who have died before arriving at the Mansion are able to see him. (Personally, I'd like to see what would happen if one of the Blood were to spot him, and we know Light is not going to be thrilled to see him again)
