like tears ... in the rain ...

[emo_raito]

emo_raito is wandering the mansion in search of commeo - run off somewhere without him yet again, he figures. oh well.

he turns a random corner, and there's a door in this hallway he's never seen before - large, metal, the word EXIT spraypainted on. emo_raito is a little puzzled by that; the way he understood it, nobody got out of the mansion except if shudder the

A is confused about the EXIT sign. After all... how on earth could he get out of this place? More importantly, did he want to? His curiosity was piqued though, and he couldn't stop himself from nudging the door open and glancing inside--outside? He wasn't quite sure, but stepping out, he flinched as the first raindrops hit him, before glancing up with slightly narrowed eyes, as if blaming the rain for falling on him.

So, then... I guess this isn't a way out?

[emo_raito]

*he turns around to squint through the rain at the other boy - someone he doesn't recognize*

oh. yeah, i guess not. that would've been way too easy.

... have we met? i don't think we have, i don't recognize you. i'm light yagami - or yagami light, if you prefer, but my friends sometimes call me raito, or night-light, or ... yeah. are you new here?

[antiqueatrocity]

He's still not quite sure how he feels about getting rained on, shoving his hands in his pockets and haunching over, peeking up toward the voice through his wet hair.

A. Aramis--A. Whichever you w-want to call me.

The name strikes something familiar, but he's never met a Light before--save for that one when he first arrived a few weeks ago--pursing his lips somewhat and glancing up.

N-new compared to some, I... I guess. A... a few weeks.

[emo_raito]

nice to meet you, A. *flashes him a friendly smile* A ... say, you don't happen to know L and B, do you? single-letter names aren't terribly common, that's why i ask.

ah, i see. *tiny nod* how are you doing with the insane mansion of doom?

[justiceishot]

... This is incredibly familiar.

(He stares up at the sky, pink hair drenched.)

[emo_raito]

*he stares, wide-eyed at justiceishot*

... L?

you're ... dead.

whatsgoingon.

[justiceishot]

(Glances over, and smiles lightly.)

Yes, I was.
I'm not sure how I got back.

... How are you, Light?

[emo_raito]

*staring, staring in disbelief*

you sure this isn't some trick from the mansion? you're really ... not dead? *blinks* i went to your funeral and everything.

um. i'm ok, i guess. *he's noticeably thinner than the last time they'd met. depressed emo kid doesn't eat when he's depressed.* got sent back home for a while, but i got brought back.

[lexingtonslaw]

Instantly getting drenched, Lex sighs slightly.

Mmmm...

[justiceishot]

(Glances over, and then goes to hug him, completely soaked by now.)

[lexingtonslaw]

Doesnt quite enjoy the cold water, but embraces L back.

...Remind you of something?

[justiceishot]

(Rests his head against Lex's chest.)

Reminds me of my old home. Of Light. Of when I was about to die.

[askjeevas]

*Matt trots over to the edge of the building leaning over to peer down at the street below; if there is one. His ears twitch and press back against his skull to prevent water from dripping into them*

Whoooaa.

[emo_raito]

hey, watch out!

*and then he does a double-take, and staaares.*

whoa.

[askjeevas]

*He tips his head to glance at Light*

'M not gonna fall. I'm not stupid. *SCOFF*
Who're you? Yer that Light guy...right?

[emo_raito]

well ... yeah, ok. just wanted to make sure. i know some of the rooms here don't kill you for real if you die in them or anything, but you never know if one of them will.

yeah, i'm light. or raito, or night-light, or ... whatever, really. are you ... matt?

[gamesonthebrain]

*notes the door with EXIT on it-- there is no way he's heading through that without Near, good thing he's close-by~ so Matt can grab a firm hold of Near's arm as he steps through it with a tinge of nervousness, only to find... wow, they're outside, high up, definitely not home, and it's raining fucking everywhere*

*looks up, letting it wash over him, rather likes it* This isn't exactly what I expected!

[gamesonthebrain]

*looks around, squints, then laughs at the pointlessness of it* I dunno, I've never been to Tokyo!

*raises one of his arms, grinning at the feeling of water running down it* Do you think we're really outside? I miss going outside!
