*Matt walks into a room. Then pauses, looking about cautiously, waiting to see whether he's been turned an odd colour, whether he's suddenly stoned, whether he's in video game, or whatever other bizarre trick the mansion might play.

Nothing happens. He takes a few more steps. Still nothing. Then, after another step, something happens ( Read more... )

That's - yeah. *glancing around the room* Pretty neat sound system, huh?

... Near, right? I've not met many of you guys here yet.

It's probably more freaky mansion shit. I don't think this place is run with special effects or whatever.

Heh. There's a lot of everyone figuratively-floating-around, I guess. You been here long?

If it's a hoax... man, it'd need to be the mother of all hoaxes. The combined IQ of a quarter of this place would be insane.

I'm not used to this place yet, and I've been here for a while. Mostly hiding. So, uh - this is going to sound weird, but what kind of Near are you? L's successor, alien, pottery-maker...?

Pretty impressive, though, if someone could do it. But someone should've figured this place out by now...

Ah - I've mostly been hiding in my room. It's what's in the other rooms that worries me. This place is alright though.

You suppose? In my world it was pretty obvious you were going to be the successor, almost the whole time. And I say that as Mello's best friend. ... which kind of answers the question, right? You described me to a t. *grin*

Well, uh. I'm staying with someone else, so our room's pretty bland. In the place I found myself before this, though, your belongings would turn up in your bedroom.

Yeah, but I could be a chain-smoking, game-playing dickhead. Speaking of which, do you mind if I...? *he pulls out a cigarette packet and gives Near a questioning look - deliberately not pursuing the whole succession thing.*

*One of the bulbs in a nearby light fixture extinguishes, for no discernable reason. These old buildings, you know, they're just finicky like that.*

*Matt glances up, but doesn't take much notice; he's lighting his cigarette. Nicotine is more important.*

Well, yeah, but some people can be sneaky about it. I could be thinking of really cutting things to say about your hair.

And don't worry, I've been smoking for... what, eight years? And I've never set anything on fire.

Except maybe that once. Which totally doesn't count, by the way.

I'll be careful, then, I promise.

Nah. Your hair's fine. I'm just giving examples of how I could be a dick, you know? *frowning around the room* I wonder if there are any spare bulbs or whatever...
