Is this cake a lie? - redux

[light_the_lady]

Light has been keeping to herself lately, after a series of mildly traumatic room incidents, but she has grown rather bored with reading alone in her room, so she has decided to once again put her creative baking skills to use. She has been in the ground floor kitchen for several hours, and there are two cakes cooling on the counter - a Zesty

[Teru's finished the schoolwork he's set for himself, and is heading back to his new room. Or should be at least; somehow, since leaving the library, he's managed to completely lose track of where he is. He smells the fresh baking and heads towards it in the hope of finding someone who might help.]

Excuse me? I seem to have gotten a little lost...

((I'm actually just going to bed, but I had to. Consider this a placeholder? :D))

Light looks up from her book at the sound of his voice. She gives him a polite smile.

Oh, hello. You're lost? Perhaps I can help you. Where were you headed?

[[Yes absolutely. Hee. &hearts]]

[teenteru]

[He bows politely, 'recognising' her as she looks up.]

Thank you - Light-san? I've met some of your alternates, I think.

I'm trying to get to my own room, on the third floor. I was on the sixth a minute ago, I'm sure, but everything changed as I headed towards the staircase... [He notices her book and glances up.] May I ask what you're reading?

[light_the_lady]

Yes, that is correct. She stands up from the table and returns the bow. And you are ... Mikami-san, yes? I have also met one of your alternates. She is quite remarkable.

Third floor? You're on the ground floor now, I'm afraid ... this place does shift around without warning.

And certainly. I'm reading The Six Codes of Law. I found it in the library - I had begun reading it for a class at university, before I was brought here.

[teenteru]

She is? [He seems to brighten a little at this.] I've met her briefly, and found out that she was a prosecutor. I hope to follow in her footsteps, eventually...

Oh. What direction are the stairs in? I normally have quite a good sense of direction, but this place is so strange.

Are you studying law? The other Light-san I met was a musician.

[light_the_lady]

Yes, she is. She's been quite kind to me during the time I've known her. And I admire her work as a prosecutor.

She smiles warmly at him. I am sure you also will do great work.

There are several sets of stairs on this floor ... there should be one a few doors down the hallway to the left and just off the corridor - if nothing has shifted, that is.

Yes, I am studying law - or I was, at any rate. I had to take a bit of a break from university. But I hope to pursue a career in law enforcement. My father is an officer in the NPA - I hope to someday honor him by following a similar path.
