like tears ... in the rain ...

[emo_raito]

emo_raito is wandering the mansion in search of commeo - run off somewhere without him yet again, he figures. oh well.

he turns a random corner, and there's a door in this hallway he's never seen before - large, metal, the word EXIT spraypainted on. emo_raito is a little puzzled by that; the way he understood it, nobody got out of the mansion except if shudder the

[the exit sign, naturally, catches Light's attention. he halts, frowning at it, considering - it could easily be some kind of perverse trick or trap of the mansion's. then, finally, he sighs and shrugs and opens the door, stepping inside, knowing that it would bug him the whole day if he didn't.

when the rain hits him, he blinks, peering out through it to make out his surroundings. after a few moments, standing there to get his bearings - and wait to see if there are going to be any side-effects - he starts making his way towards the edge of the sky-scraper. by the time he reaches it, his T-shirt is clinging to him, half-transparent, and the soaked denim of his jeans is uncomfortably thick and heavy. he ignores it, glancing idly over at the other Light.] Hey. Haven't seen you in a while.

*looks over at reprism at the sound of his voice*

oh. other me. hey.

you can walk again.

[reprism]

Yeah. Been able to for a while now. How are things with you?

[emo_raito]

not invisible anymore. *tiny smile* and i'm managing to avoid getting punched, so. you?

i've just been looking for mimi. you haven't seen him, have you?

[reprism]

Oh? So does that mean you two have managed to work things out marginally?

Last time I saw him he was trying to murder the Mello from my world. Currently things are a bit weird for me, largely due to the aftermath of that, otherwise because of a lack of sleep and general stress and stir-craziness.

[emo_raito]

marginally. *nods a little* not being invisible anymore helps a lot.

*the color drains from his face at the word "murder"*

did he actually ... what happened? is everyone ok?

[reprism]

I'd imagine it would.

He didn't. Mello's currently... mildly concussed - recovered enough that I let him go off on his own, although I'm keeping an eye on him - broken nose, a cracked rib or two. Or three. Mihael's looking pretty rough himself, I think.

[emo_raito]

... shit.

*chews his lip for a minute, staring at the ground, then looks up at reprism again*

he's killed people before, you know.

[reprism]

[arches eyebrows.] No. I don't know. Or didn't, rather. [coolly.]

I do hope he has been dissuaded in this particular instance.

[emo_raito]

*solemn nod*

he ... he beat a guy to death with a metal pipe once. 'cause this guy was messing with nat- ... nat- ... his near.

... i hope so too.

[reprism]

... he really needs to work on those anger issues of his, I see.

[emo_raito]

... guess so. *frowns*
