001 Beyond Birthday [Audio]

Mar 13, 2011 20:16

[Had Beyond Birthday cared to put in the effort, he could probably name the exact genus and species of the prehistoric flora that surrounded him. He did not care. The only thing that matters at the moment is that this place is not Room four-oh-four. His thoughts are scattered in chaotic disarray, an unpredictable, teeming mass of anger, annoyance, ( Read more... )

...sitting on top of a dinosaur? You're my kind of man. [She grins.]

In any case, Ryuzaki-san, you've arrived at the Manor... well, it's not a manor right now. On a normal basis, all of the people here are trapped inside a mansion at the mercy of a deranged teenaged girl called the Author who enjoys playing tricks on us. This happens to be one of her tricks: from what I've gathered, we've been projected into a crappy American horror movie that involves dinosaur mauling.

There are boats, escape boats, on the docks. You might want to head towards them.

Or just stay put... by the end of the week, we'll have been transported back to the Manor and everything will be happy-dandy again.

[Impossible. Impossible. His brow furrows even further as he studies the face on the Blackberry. Suddenly, the triceratops is a secondary concern. His eyes cannot see. He rubs them hastily, blinking in rapid succession, but there is still nothing. The cat ears, he surmises, must be the reason. Not human would make a reasonable exemption to his sight, in theory. It doesn't stop him from being incredibly bitter and childish about this.]

This is a movie.

[Sullenly, he transitions from audio to video. There's only one thing that would make this situation more tolerable.... If this despicable exemption knew L, then surely she would react to his face.]

Is this... usual for this place, Kitty-cat?

catgirlsadist March 14 2011, 23:35:03 UTC

[Unfortunately, Koto lacks a reaction as Ryuzaki's face blinks into view: she never did know L. She just flashes him a smile and an exaggerated meow in amused response to his nickname.]

My name is Koto, if you're looking for something different... and no, usually the "events" that the Author schedules take place in the Manor itself. Last week we were all reverted to children... [She trails off thoughtfully.] I personally haven't been here all that long, though, only a month or two.

[Disappointing. Utterly disappointing. Not even Koto's cheery smile can lift B out of the vast depression threatening to envelop him. Knowing that L might not actually be here... and that he is not in Room 404. He was poised to win there, his own corpse was supposed to be the final insult to L's intelligence, what good did it mean if he disappeared, if he failed to leave the last corpse?! And if what this anomaly is saying is true.... He only had minutes left, not months to fix this! His entire expression becomes despondent.]

[Tom was busy patching up Claudia when he saw this message and his eyes widened. He remembered the name and the clear meaning that the last time he encountered any of the Wammy Boys were never good encounters.]

Just who in the hell do you think you are?! People are dying and you're complaining about sitting on a Trike?

beyondsighted March 14 2011, 00:51:19 UTC

[The reaction intrigues B. His eyes instinctively glaze over the stranger's face onto the region above his head. Aaaah, yes, this was much more satisfactory. The cat girl had been a fluke then. A small grin flickers onto his lips and disappears as he responds to Tom Hanson.]

Ryuzaki Rue. Unprivate detective. Perhaps you'd like to explain to me what is going on without unkind assumptions about the nature of my inquiries?

junior_cop March 14 2011, 03:50:25 UTC

[Hands work to help stop the bleeding to Claudia but he's not sure how long she has left with the loss of blood she suffered. Tom decided to indulge to keep his mind off of the inevitable.]

Fine. You're either a clone or you were brought back here without your memory but for now, as it stands, we're locked in a death plot. As you already figured out, we're amid dinosaurs. Someone made mention that this seems like a book or a movie but I'm not familiar with either so take a guess what kind of answer you're going to get from me.

[He continues his work to stabilize Claudia but he's preparing to lose her too.]

beyondsighted March 14 2011, 04:49:17 UTC

[He freezes at the word 'clone.' He would have succumbed to the desire to scowl, had it not been practically beaten out of him through years and years of Wammy's training. But his brows do knit together in annoyance. B is no clone. B is superior in every way. He had been about to prove it once and for all too....

He watches the screen impassively, as he continues processing what Tom is saying. Memory loss? Now this was troubling. People knew him? The name Tom Hanson at all familiar, but then again, it wouldn't have been anyway. How many names did B ever care to remember? ...Or, perhaps...familiar in that his face, against all odds, actually did look like L's? Aah, yes, that was the preferable explanation! But how to confirm either theory?

Injury. The girl is injured. B could help. ...Or pretend to.]

I will help.

[[Someone answering to his name- rather his false identity- just showed up on the system. Ultimately, the voice sounds too familiar, too much like something he thought he had been done with some time ago. L decides the best thing to do, for everyone's sake is investigate and hope to Kira God he was wrong.

If he could show up here and he was dead, Light was here, Misa was here, Misora... Then he really starts to hope this is going to be unhappy coincidence. Please be coincidence. But not showing his face, the voice from another time, the way he speaks, the very tone he uses... It all points too irrefutably to one thing. One personHe's got to get away from Light, somewhere perhaps that the boy was still in visual range, but not in audio range if he could manage. It shouldn't be too hard, Light is giving him the cold shoulder over an -ahem- accidental run in with a smaller dinosaur (What it looked innocent enough? How was he supposed to know there'd be more of them? Sure the distinguishing features were carnivorous but--) that turned ( ... )

[Adjusting himself on the leathery skin of the poor creature B had woken up on- though it probably had no idea B was perched on there, light as he is- he pulls himself into a more comfortable squatting position. Audio is disappointing. The lack of an answer is disappointing. The interest in his name however... could it be? He hadn't dared hope that he could be here as well... not really, anyway.]

What of Ryuzaki?

[Audio] REVERSE MY TROLL WILL YOU!? thumbonmylip March 14 2011, 01:18:34 UTC

[[L was more and more convinced by the simple, probing answer that he received that this was him after all. Why now? On top of damned Dinosaurs and trying to get to the ship with Light, he was going to have to deal with a maniac.]]

That's not an answer, Ryuzaki who?

[[This time his voice is more demanding, and more full of that authority that would normally come with a capital L on the screen instead of a simple audio.]]

Re: [Audio] REVERSE IT AND SERVE IT SUNNY SIDE UP, YES. beyondsighted March 14 2011, 01:37:54 UTC

[The reaction he gets is exactly the one he had been praying for, or would have been praying for had he believed in gods. B is thrilled but save for a full-on smile invisible through audio, his tone remains as calm and collected as ever.]

Who wants to know?

You're probably going to need to head towards the harbor- it's not safe on the mainland.

[Audio] beyondsighted March 14 2011, 01:45:55 UTC

[So there were children here too? B tuts audibly, patting the Triceratops fondly on the back.]

A wise man once said never trust the voices. What makes you any different?

[Audio] always1truth March 14 2011, 01:50:22 UTC

Because it's only logical to think if there are triceratops then their predators are probably near by.

[Audio] beyondsighted March 14 2011, 02:15:39 UTC

You misunderstand me, boy. [The shark grin is audible through his voice.]
Who's to say that there aren't nasties hiding in the water~?

Are you, going to need someone to come get you then?

[Audio] beyondsighted March 14 2011, 02:22:25 UTC

[B ponders this. The cat girl had told him if he were to survive this night, he would wake up in a Manor by tomorrow. Presumably this Manor was dinosaur free. B didn't trust a single word she said. Help, however... hmm, did B need help?]

What are your qualifications?

[Audio] 11_sies March 14 2011, 02:35:17 UTC

I'm not on the boats- I'm looking for a-nevermind!

The point is, I'm probably close by and I'm the smartest person here. [Being 900+ year old Timelord and all.]

Re: [Audio] beyondsighted March 14 2011, 02:57:11 UTC

The smartest? [B repeats this incredulously. No, no, that title was reserved for one person, and that person is obviously, B himself. The arrogance of this person! Another furtive smile appears, then disappears. B doesn't mind giving out lessons in humility....]

Dogs that are all bark and no bite ought to be put down. The converse is equally worthy of capital punishment.
