[Intro] Percentages
It all happened very fast or very slowly. It depends on your perspective. To L, it all happened in slow motion. The room filled with crimson light, as if covered in blood, the screens were dulled with white light, reading All data deletion.
"I told Watari to delete everything, should anything happen to him," L stated tonelessly to the investigation team. Whatever emotion he felt, it wasn't audible in his voice, but that was par the course.
Anyone who suggests that Watari wasn't important for L is a fool.
These emergency drills were wrecking his focus. He held the tip of his spoon delicately and tapped it on his lips. "Where is the Shinigami? -- Everyone, the Shinigami ---"
And that is when the slow motion stopped and everything went really fast. An ache his left arm, going up to his chest and L - barely twenty-four, so young - feels himself going faint, slips out of the chair where he is crouching, topples to the floor only to be caught by --
L's black eyes widen and lock into Light's amber eyes before he can feel the light (no pun intended) dying out of them, his limbs becoming heavier. He opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out, just a quiet and inaudible gasp.
A moment later, L looks up. He's crouching, squatting on his heels and staring at the ceiling of... a ball room? This makes no sense at all, but it doesn't stop the worldly detective from reaching into his pocket for a peppermint, which he unwraps delicately and slips under his tongue.
Slowly, then, he unfolds himself (though his posture remains terrible) and starts to walk, feet bare, in the halls of this place which reminds him (very vaguely) of Whammy's. At the tip of his fingers, the peppermint's wrapping makes a soft crunchy noise that he finds almost comforting.
Not quite the afterlife that he expected (if that's even what it is, though L is only 5% sure that he died). But beggers can't be choosers, hm? He's in fact, for once, too surprised to really question it all. At this point, he expects shinigami to show up any time soon. Good. He'll have a word with them.
Name: L, but he has 4 known aliases including Deneuve, Riyuzaki, Eldorado Coil and Hideki Riyuga, so make sure to note down which one he's giving out!
Fandom: Death Note
Media: Anime
Other relevant info: Cut in place for spoilers. For those who don't know him, L is a poorly socialized prodigy detective of dubious methods who is much smarter than his typist.
Played by the hyperactive Wil. Typist is going to be afk for a couple hours tonight (EST time), but don't let that deter you.
The first commenter acts as a welcoming committee. All following interactions are deemed later in the day, when the character is settled.
