A nice scene in a cafe with some people.
OOC!L walks into a cafe and b>OOC!L sees IC L sitting there
and does a double-take
Eekk. *peeks inside* Seems like the booze from last night didn\'t wear off...
IC!L *sipping a cup of coffee, thinking* .........
IC!L *sees a reflection in the glass and pauses* !!
OOC!L *gnaws a thumb, chipping his carefully applied black nail polish*
IC!L *stares*
OOC!L *thinking* \"Uh. Okay. Guess I\'ll enter and say hello?\"
OOC!L *opens the door of the cafe and goes inside*
IC!L *feeling annoyed with himself for being so surprised despite knowing about the clone issue*
IC!L *watches, slightly wary as the identical being nears him*
OOC!L *approaches, feigning confidence to hide how nervous he is* Hiya. Is that chair taken?
IC!L *blinks* .....not at all
IC!L *biting his thumb, curious to see how this other L will sit*
OOC!L *sits normally, but he seems too awkward in that position. Battles to not draw his legs up to rest his feet in the border. Then notices how the other is sitting and gets himself comfortable*
OOC!L Uh. So... *sighs* Okay, let\'s be blunt. Who are you?
IC!L *blinks*
IC!L ...I\'m known as L.
IC!L and you are...? L as well...
*?
OOC!L *arching an eyebrow* I go for that alias, too.
IC!L .......
OOC!L but I guess my reasons are different, isn\'t it?
IC!L *nodding* most likely. unless you\'re a detective as well.
IC!L *hestiating* I would compare real names, but... I don\'t generally give that out, on general premise.
OOC!L Nor do I. Those are things which are better left hidden, if I want to have a private life.
OOC!L *states in a matter-of-fact way* I\'m a singer.
IC!L *looking his counterpart over* ..... *noting the clothes and nailpolish*
IC!L what type? ;
OOC!L J-rock. *noticing the way his clone is looking at him* Not too much into the visual stuff, but leather is nice *shows a leather bracelet in his left arm* We\'re just indies.
IC!L *murmurs* interesting...
OOC!L But you don\'t seem too inclined to share things about you, it seems.
IC!L *falters* ah... I\'m sorry. ;
OOC!L So you\'re a detective. Sounds like fun.
IC!L *nods* I\'m more accustomed to listening, as such, than talking.
IC!L um... *tries to think of things to say* ...I like sweets. ;
OOC!L *smiles* That\'s nice. I like them, too, and now you mention it, I was going to have some. Want to eat anything? My treat.
Near *coming out from the local, his gaze lowered... Just walks to the corner and waits for Roger to come and pick him*
Near *just the memory of what he\'s just lived gives him the urge to cry again* ... ;;;
OOC!L *The crying childs gets his attention, perhaps because his colour scheme seems to be so... white, but doesn\'t say anything*
IC!L *turns to see what the other L is looking at* !
IC!L Near!
OOC!L You know him?
IC!L *nods*
IC!L *raps on the glass, trying to get Near\'s attention*
IC!L I wonder what\'s wrong...
OOC!L He didn\'t look too happy *frowns* Want me to get him?
Near *too sad and lost in thought to notice anything. Just stares at his feet* ... ...
IC!L *getting up* yeah...
IC!L let\'s get him. you don\'t mind if he joins us, right?
OOC!L Not at all *shrugs* He seems more emo than me, let\'s see what\'s the matter
IC!L *looks at L* ..... you\'re emo? ;
IC!L *opens the cafe door* Near...
IC!L *holding it open for his double*
OOC!L just a manner of speaking *smirks*
Near *hears a familiar voice he can easily recognize* ...!! *looks quickly to the person who called him, his eyes wide open*
Near L...!! *notices something slightly unusual A SECOND L* O.O; *is not surprised for long, though, as he just met his own clone*
IC!L are you okay, Near?
Near Ah... I... ... ... *his eyes become teary again* ueeeeen....I...I... (T_______T);;;;
Near *wipes his eyes with his oversized sleeves, not looking at the two men*
IC!L ......
IC!L *knowing which Near this is*
OOC!L *retrieves a handkerchief from his pocket* use this
Near *looks at it, his eyes two pools of tears*
IC!L *bites his lip* ....
IC!L d\'you want to come in, Near?
IC!L you can join us, and we can help you feel better....
OOC!L *looking at the child with curiosity* Yup.... If you care to explain what happened, first
OOC!L come in, we have cake! ^^
IC!L *smiles* yes. come, Near.
IC!L *holds out his hand*
Near *a bit calmer* ah...
Near I have to wait for Roger here... he should be here shortly...
IC!L *looks at the other L* ...I\'m sure we could arrange for your dafe transport home
*safe
Near *avoiding L\'s gaze... two of them* ;
IC!L I\'ll talk to Roger. Come on in, Near. you\'re welcome with us.
OOC!L *wonders where the hell he got himself into*
Near ... ... A...Alright *shy*
OOC!L Alright. *enters the café and notices with disaste that their previous table was occupied*
IC!L *noticing* .....
Near *following them*
IC!L *taking their things from the table and moving to a table farther back, nonchalant*
OOC!L *shots a dirty glare to the couple who took their table even though their things were there and follows*
Near ... o.o *notes this*
OOC!L *sits down and smiles* okay. What are you going to order? ^^
IC!L *sits on the other side of the table*
IC!L *curious as to where Near will sit*
Near ... *voicing a thought* ... You two aren\'t the same, either.
IC!L *smiles slightly* did you think we would be?
Near *stands there for a moment, finally decides to sit beside the L he met today at the HQ*
Near No, I didn\'t expect you to be.
OOC!L *he was no fool, but he really didn\'t have a clue of what they did mean with that* Uhm... are out there more long lost twins, or I\'m reading it wrong?
IC!L *blinks* .... *looks at L*
IC!L *finally* .....something odd is going on in Tokyo, L. *feels odd addressing himself, in essence*
IC!L many people are turning up with doubles. I met one of a friend just earlier today. They were complete opposites... *dryly*
IC!L at any rate, it\'s not long-lost twins
Near ... ... I just met mine as well...
Near *his gaze still lowered* But it seems the real one was him.
OOC!L Aha. Complete opposites... I guess it makes sense. *touches the white cotton shirt of his counterpart*
IC!L *blinks* o.o *touched*
IC!L *looks down at Near* ..... the real one?
IC!L Near, you\'re both real. you\'re a person, and you\'re you, aren\'t you?
IC!L don\'t think that you\'re not real
Near You said it yourself... that my behaviour was odd...
Near The Near you knew never showed anything, did he?
IC!L *shrugs* to me. but if the time-space continuum\'s collapsed, who am I to say anything\'s normal anymore?
IC!L *looks at Near* ...no. never.
OOC!L We could say the same of them, don\'t we? What reasons do we have to asume they\'re the real ones?
IC!L *smiles* you\'re different like that
IC!L *looks to the other L, nodding* precisely
OOC!L *shrugs* We share some traits, I guess *smiles*
IC!L *smiles back a bit*
Near ... But... The L I knew didn\'t exactly look like you.
Near You look... different o.o; *observing his clothing*
IC!L this L is a rock star, apparently
IC!L not a detective
Near I can tell.
Near Then, if none of you is my L, where is he?
Near Does it mean there is a third \"clone\"?
IC!L *blinks* I- I don\'t know
OOC!L I don\'t think so... according of what you said, the clones are showing in pairs. Uh. I can be your L, if you want to.
IC!L ..... ;
Near o.o *stares at him again with curious eyes*
IC!L *looks at his counterpart, amused* do you get to be my L too, then?
OOC!L If the idea wasn\'t so strange, I\'d think you\'re hitting on me *smirk*
Near *blinks* o.o
IC!L *sticks out his tongue*
Near *takes L\'s arm with both hands, childish and possessive, while looking at the other L in front of them*
Near *thinks of something* L, do you have a Near too?
OOC!L Me? No, I don\'t think so. First time I\'ve seen anyone like you.
Near Oh...
Near *lets go of L\'s arm already* I see, then you couldn\'t be my L...
IC!L *looks down at Near, smiling* I\'ll be your L
IC!L and otherL can be my L
IC!L everyone gets one
Near ...!! *turns his head to look at him, quickly*
IC!L *looks at Near, blinking* ..... ;
Near But... but...
OOC!L *confused* That could be some kind of arrange, but... isn\'t more logical if you stick with your own... eh... albino boy?
IC!L *shooting L a dirty look*
Near *nods sadly*
OOC!L *pokes Near* What\'s your name, Kiddo? ^^
IC!L .....
Near ah, it\'s Near *blushes a bit*
IC!L *watching the two, tilting his head, impassive, not commenting that \'his\' Near hardly wants an L*
OOC!L Near? I see... *bites a thumb. Then notices how serious is his clone* Something wrong?
OOC!L *Can\'t help but ruffling Near\'s hair. It was so... fluffy.*
IC!L *shaking his head* not at all
Near *blushes a bit more, a part of him really liking this, despite his other a bit more uncomfortable and shy part*
OOC!L You don\'t seem very happy. *winks seductively, even if it\'s a bit narcissistic to flirt with your double* I can be your L if you want, anyway
OOC!L *orders three slices of different kinds of cake. For himself. And a cup of coffee* and you? *looks at the other two*
Near ah, I\'m fine...
Near *smiles a bit to himself, recognizing such passion for sweets as something very typical from L, any L*
IC!L *orders a brownie, coffee, a strawberry cake, and a box of sugar cubes, earning him weird looks from the waitress*
Near *his eyes starting to sparkle, looking at them both*
OOC!L *directing a surprised look to Near, then to the other L* Is he... sparkling?
IC!L *smiling a bit* he\'s *your* Near
IC!L you tell me
IC!L *adding* ..... I think it\'s cute
Near ah... (//////)
Near Then...
Near From now on I should be your Near? ...
OOC!L yup *ruffles his hair* sparkle as much as you want
OOC!L just... don\'t tell anybody I said that. I\'m supposed to be a bad boy, after all
Near ah... *not quite understanding, as he is only used to an L who is a detective*
IC!L *smiling*
Near But... I\'m supposed to follow your steps...
IC!L o.o;;
Near *looks kinda sad*
IC!L umm... maybe you can be both our Near? ;
Near ... ;
Near *looks through the window, lost in thought.......*
OOC!L I can teach you to sing? *slightly embarrased*
IC!L *amused*
IC!L I\'m curious about that. I never could sing.
Near *doesn\'t hear that, has noticed something outside*
Near ah... Roger came for me...
Near *stands up from his chair*
OOC!L *looking through the window* ...That Roger guy seriously looks like a pedophile
IC!L *dies*
OOC!L *to the other L* perhaps you haven\'t tried, it\'s a matter of... are you okay? O_O
Near If only you knew how many children he takes care of...
IC!L *is dead, his mouth agape*
IC!L *pulling himself together* ah... see you later, Near
Near *looks at him, curious about what he means by \"tried\"*
IC!L *hugs him before he leaves* (^^)
OOC!L *frowns* want me to take care of that?
Near (//////) ... ...
Near *hugs back, tightly*
Near *reluctant to let go*
OOC!L uhm. I guess I\'ll leave you my number. *slightly jealous of the attention the other L is getting*
OOC!L *pouts* I want a hug too.
IC!L *looks at L, mortified* you\'re going to \"take care of Roger\"?
IC!L please don\'t ;;; *worked on too many murder cases recently*
Near *finally lets go of L and walks toward the other one, a bit shy, as this person is more or less a stranger yet*
Near *gives him a shy hug*
OOC!L *to L* just if the little one wants...
OOC!L *hugs Near. The kid is like a plush toy, really*
OOC!L I hope to get to know you better soon ^^
Near *looks at his expression for a moment, then lets go*
Near ... ... *shy, a bit embarrased, can\'t find words.... Just nods and walks toward the door*
IC!L *watches Near go, then looks to L* .....
IC!L *smiling a bit* like hugs, do you?
OOC!L Let\'s say I\'m a bit... uh. Hug-starved
IC!L *blinks* that\'s odd. I am too, in a way.
IC!L but... I\'m used to that. I\'m not used to being touched much.
OOC!L walks into a cafe and b>OOC!L sees IC L sitting there
