.Note 56.

[onetruejustice]

It's good to see that nothing lasting happened to anyone after that particularly nasty curse, and it looks like the City still keeps up with its pattern of sending citizens in every alternate week.

For the newcomers, welcome to the City, and if you need any help, I'll be glad to offer it.

And speaking of new, Lamont and I will be working on a new

[lustydoom]

Aren't we friendly.

[onetruejustice]

Just doing the best I can. You are...?

[lustydoom]

Lust, darling. And you?

[onetruejustice]

A very interesting name, Lust. I'm Light. Yagami Light.

Are you by any chance a homunculus as well?

[lustydoom]

A pleasure, I'm sure.

Ah. So you know my brother. Charming. Then I can get this out of the way; human?

[onetruejustice]

I've spoken with him a few times, and of course, by all means.

[lustydoom]

It seems like everyone has. What do I have to apologize for? It seems like everyone's got a problem with him.

I should have guessed.

[onetruejustice]

I don't have any real problem with anyone, as a general rule, and I'm sure you have nothing to apologize for, Lust.

Is there anything you wanted to ask of me?

[lustydoom]

Oh? Tolerant sort? That's a nice switch.

Just asking if you were human, darling. Curiosity and all that. I can't tell over this network thing.

[onetruejustice]

Nothing to be gained by burning bridges, after all.

Ah, yes. Have you been in this City long?

[lustydoom]

I don't know about that, darling~

Not terribly. A month or so? Something like that. Yourself?

[onetruejustice]

Oh? I'm sure that you're strong enough to handle yourself very well.

Almost two, actually. It's getting a little tiring thinking of home; might as well be useful.

[lustydoom]

Mmmm...? Most humans only say things like that when they want something, darling. Often when they don't want to be killed. Or are you in the habit of flattering people?

[onetruejustice]

I'm in the habit of telling things as they are and making educated guesses, Lust. It isn't flattery if it's true, is it?

[lustydoom]

I don't know, is it? That might be open to interpretation. But then, you are talking to a girl called "Lust." She could just be jaded by centuries of men trying to get up her skirt.

Filtered;

[onetruejustice]

Everything's open to interpretation, isn't it?

Jaded? I would think that you'd love toying with them.
