003 Audio [Day Four, Daytime]

((The following recording is taken from this thread))

[The camera pans to a trail of slime leading towards the shore. Who ever's recording is following it until it guides him just out of reach of the tide to a rocky area.]

The trail ends here.

[Some of you may recognize Sai's voice. Now we see the slime simply disappearing around a large pile of rocks

[OOC: I assume that L managed to get to the hospital with Tsuna's help and is currently there right now with a burned (but functional and not permanently damaged) knee. I assume these things simply because I don't want to hold up action and that's the way those threads seemed to be going, SO! Hopefully that's OK.]

[L has been careful about making himself known on the networks since he was attacked by monsters and helped out by Tsuna, simply because he has a badly burned leg and isn't particularly mobile at present. He's been chilling in the hospital, because it seems like the right sort of place to be when he can't move quickly or efficiently. It's not fantastic, since it's still a painful situation and he's concerned about infection, but it could be a lot worse. The slime could have eaten away muscle or even bone, and then he'd be out a leg and forced to survive this "game" at a brisk, frantic hop.

But he sees this, and it just seems... well, highly relevant.]

You're really taking charge of this situation. Good for you.[Not that

[Light could make a fairly reasonable guess at who this anonymous texter is. Implied familiarity, vague condescension make for a distinctive voice, though it's not quite definite.]

The map should be attached as an image. The location is marked on there. [Then the gamble. If this is who he thinks it is, then they'd know what he is referring to.] I wouldn't have expected you to participate in either case. You were injured quite badly, weren't you?

[Not bad, Light. L cuts the anonymous crap, now that the conversation is locked.]

You recognize me far too easily for me to be comfortable with. Perhaps I should adopt a radically different style of typing, if it's really so simple... granted, you're smarter than most your age, but it alerts me to the possibility that I am far too consistent in my syntactic patterns and lexical choices.

Hao abowt thiss. Mabee et wood be moer ov a challinj for u if I neglektid two bothre wyth mye unkannilee perfekt speling. I bet yood luv that.

But yes, I am injured. Do you want to come visit me and take a stab at proving you're Kira? I promise I won't tell, should the temptation strike you. It's probably maddening to think that I'm continuing to survive. That is... only if you're Kira. If you're truly my friend, the innocent and upstanding Light Yagami, son of the police chief Soichiro Yagami, I'm certain that you're very distressed.

Such binary thinking isn't like you. It wouldn't be beyond reason for the innocent and upstanding Light Yagami, son of the police chief Soichiro Yagami to become maddened if his friend were to send him poorly articulated text messages. Nonetheless, it is good to hear that you were not mortally wounded. Try not to overexert yourself during your convalescence.

You think a lot about your reactions to things, don't you? It shows.

Should I find myself in a position where I fear for my life, I'll be sure to try not to pull any muscles while running. Thank you for your concern.
