Entry #B-6: "Bridge" [Violet City's Pokemon Center, Video/Action]

[dead_black_eyes]

[It's a pretty relaxing 4th of July for L. He's just at the pokemon center in the afternoon, absentmindedly feeding his Drifloon Wiredrawn bits of poffins while he waits for the rest of his monsters to be healed. An egg is sitting in his lap. His Haunter, however, is snickering quietly from behind the hovering pokegear. He positions it so that it

[L turns toward his younger, white-haired friend. He looks rather frazzled, but he attempts to pull himself together for appearance's sake.]

Apparently, Bakura, I have a Gengar.

[dead_black_eyes]

Yes.

[His tone is so. Unbelievably. Heavy.]

He just evolved. From Haunter. This is going to be a nightmare.

[Well, whenever Riku hits Ecruteak and plucks Phantom out of the box, he'll be snatching that Gear and watching with kind of a line face.

No, that's one less Haunt-bro! And Haunters are totally better than Gengars.

But on the other hand, that's a really clever prank... Bleh. He looks conflicted.]

Hey there little guy.

Digging the spikes.

You like what you see?

Iiii wouldn't say little.

[Given that he's 5'3''. He thinks he's very big. 8C]

But I'm digging the prank. Bet your trainer didn't see that coming!

[Gengars are generally around 4'll"... but omg so much sturdier, and that is what Slightly is gloating about. No longer is he "slight" at all, really.]

Oh man DUDE he was totally just fucking off with the new egg. He's mad at me already, so I gotta reestablish myself as the FAVORITE.

[He's not going to comment on the current happenings because there is something suddenly much more forefront on his mind]

NOW I remember you. You're the one who sold me Ercel.

[he sounds a little like someone who was trying and failing to remember a song lyric for days and suddenly had it occur to him.]

[dead_black_eyes]

[L snatches the pokegear when he hears a voice coming from it, peering intently at the screen. If someone says they remember him, he of course has every reason to take an interest, but... ah. Disappointing. He can't remember ever seeing this person before.]

Sorry, but... neither your face or that event are familiar to me. What is your name?

[Clive was planning to contact Ryuzaki after speaking with Light, but...]

Oh never mind, I see this is an inopportune time.

fdafajdkrwaaaaaaaaaaaa

[L snatches his pokegear back from his Drifloon. Wiredrawn seems noticeably let-down. His fun has been ruined.]

Just spit it out and try not to waste my time...

[He's been warned about the anti-socialness. And seeing ]

Very well. My name is Clive.

I've had the pleasure of been speaking with your acquaintance Light concerning the mechanics of being brought to this world, upon whence he mentioned you. I would like to ask you about the circumstances under which you found yourself here, and...about the mass outbreaks of heart attacks back in your world. [Clive adds this in the end, since it seems sensational enough to catch Ryuzaki's attention if he wasn't interested in the first place.]

[If L seemed anti-social before Clive introduced himself, witness his eyes narrowing as soon as Light's name is mentioned. Yes, he's interested, but his guard has just gone up by about 300%. It sounds very much to him like someone's been discussing the case a little indiscriminately.]

Fair enough. I understand curiosity and can indulge it. I was a classmate of Light's at Toh-Oh University in Japan. I found myself here after coming inside from the rain. The heart attacks are really something I know very little about.

You do not sound like anyone even from our century, though, so I find myself curious about your interest in something that doesn't concern you, unless there's something similar occurring in your own world. Are you a friend of Light's?
