[Light's eyes widen in shock-- no, not even months of adjusting to Ryuk could have prepared him for Kisshu's sudden appearance. Instinctively, he draws back a few steps, heart pounding behind his rib cage. For half a minute, he's unable to say anything to Kisshu; his voice is somehow stuck behind a deluge of thoughts. Kisshu doesn't look like any Shinigami Light has seen--though admittedly, his experiences with them had been strictly limited to a singular entity, and it would be idiocy to assume that they all looked similar.
But then again, aside from the apparent ability to teleport, the ears, this one looks humanoid enough that Light's natural inclination is to exclude Shinigami from that list entirely. Alien then? But the idea is itself so ridiculous, that Light almost kicks himself for considering that possibility. Hallucination. Now that is a much more satisfying explanation. His body language visibly relaxes, and he turns to face the...whatever it is...head-on. No, he's not too pleased with the idea of having to look up at it either.]
[In a pleasant tone of voice.] I wouldn't know. [He very subtly pinches the skin of his palm once. Kisshu, of course, remains in plain sight. Damn]
[Kisshu is enjoying that reaction. Shock in human faces, let it be ever so slightly, was pleasing him immensely. Yes, he was not one of them. And the person in front of him seemed to realize that. After being mistaken for a human twice, this was exactly what he needed to make his (overdimensional) ego grow again.]
Somarium, the world of dreams. [He smiles, as if he knew everything about it and felt completly at home here. Which of course, he did not. He still hadn't really adjusted to the foreign place]
I totally wasn't paying attention to writing style! T_T I can switch to 3rd if you prefer? Sorry!solsticeanewMay 16 2011, 22:04:49 UTC
[Light has already gathered that much from checking through the phone. The addition of an epithet to the name "Somarium" barely qualifies as helpful, though yes, now he could reason how the place acquired the name. Som.. presumably from the latin words somnium, to dream, and the suffix arium, relating to, but knowing the etymology is absolutely worthless. The confident smile on this creature's face is only succeeds in irritating Light. If this thing is only going to answer direct questions, then, so be it; Light would just have to be more specific. He returns the smile, betraying none of his annoyance.]
Yes, but that doesn't exactly answer where Somarium is, or how to leave it.
Pffft, I just did third person, cause you did it in the start-post xD I don't mind either way.suspicious_guyMay 18 2011, 16:21:59 UTC
[Kisshu chuckles. Clearly, he is looking down on Light, not only literally but also in the metaphorical sense. A human and his annoyance... the alien couldn't care less. He crosses his arms behind his head, seemingly going into a kind of sitting position mid-air]
It's not the pretty blue planet you come from [Or supposedly -hopefully- do] and for a mere human there is no way to go home. [Neither there is for Kisshu, but there's no need to say that.]
I keep it as it is now then. Again, my apologies ;-;solsticeanewMay 20 2011, 04:04:58 UTC
[A flicker of annoyance crosses Light's face. He catches the superior tone--not that Kisshu had been particularly subtle about it-- but his expression returns to it's usual demeanor in the seconds it takes him to analyzed what Kisshu has said. The implication of course, is that the stupid thing is actually able to leave which clearly--Light allows himself a very small smirk of his own--he hasn't. Reasons? Either the thing is a) enamored with Somarium and won't leave for sentimental reasons (Doubtful. did this thing even have the capacity for emotion?), or b) he can't. In essence, the damn thing had absolutely no reason for his attitude. Besides, Light is no ordinary human either. Given a Death Note, he could do anything. ...And fortunately for Light~
Although. It is troubling. The rules specifically state that the human whose name is written in the Note shall die. There's no specific clause that would rule out whether or not alien life are susceptible to it. Shinigami are excluded of course, but did that automatically grant immunity to everything else? He could find out. Easily, too, as a matter of fact. He has little doubt anyone would miss this odious thing if he did die, though... for now it's an idle thought, not one that he's intent on actualizing. Feeling more assured of himself, he speaks with seemingly earnest curiosity.]
So you can go home then?
[He's not confirming Kisshu's suspicions as to what Light's home world is, because, frankly the bastard is annoying him.]
