I've got nothing left for the journey home

[onlydisappear]

[Matt's sitting at the table in one of the kitchens with a bowl of soup in front of him, but he's smoking instead of eating, using a stray teacup as an ashtray. His goggles are pushed up onto his forehead. Every once in a while, he pulls a piece of paper from his vest pocket, unfolds it, and smiles in a wavery sort of way before tucking it away

"Um..."

There's a Misa coming into the kitchen wearing the same raggedy clothing she's always in with her sleeves rolled up and her hair tied back into a ponytail. A spiral-bound notebook is clutched by her side. She regards the redhead in front of her with a disturbing amount of indifference.

"Matt? I don't know you, do I."

[onlydisappear]

[The look he gives her is flat, but lingers momentarily on the notebook and the shirt.]

Probably not. You go by Misa, yeah?

[saccharinesugar]

"Yup."

"I want to bake a cake. Do you mind?" She gestures towards the stove.

[onlydisappear]

Meh, knock yourself out. [He looks at his soup and makes a face. It's cold by now.]

Maybe not chocolate, if you don't mind?

[dyna_m_ite]

[Luckily for Mello, there are a few chocolate bars stored in the kitchen. Being short of chocolate is one of the worst things that can happen to him in this mansion, coupled with meeting ballerina L or gangster Near.

This time, his gun is nowhere to be seen, effectively hidden inside his newly acquired red coat, a perfect replica of the one he used to have back in the other world. Mello'd always been fond of it; those were the times.]

[saccharinesugar]

There's a spatula thrown in his direction.

[dyna_m_ite]

[The sound alerts Mello, who turns just on time to see a spatula flying directly to his face. He manages to dodge it, wide eyed, and turns his attention to the culprit.]

...You again, [he scowls, certain that this Misa is the same one he met the first day he appeared here. And he looks just as "happy" to see her as she is to see him. Mello can't easily forgive himself for what happened the last time they met; just what the hell was he thinking? Kissing the second Kira and enjoying it...]

I hope you're not here for the chocolate. I'm taking all.

Apron-clad Misa looks tartly unamused. "... that's not how you greet your one-night stand, douchebag. You're supposed to say, 'oh hey... uh, sorry I left before you woke up'."

[firm_detective]

*L meanders into the kitchen, looking aimless; he is not. He wrinkles his nose a little at the smoke. Then, an expression of annoyance flickers across his face as he sees what Matt is using as an ashtray... but never mind, it can be washed. The expression is there and gone.*

*As he passes Matt, he gives a cool nod, one of the things that passes as a greeting when he bothers at all, then opens the refrigerator door and stands in front of it, hunting for something to snack on.*

[onlydisappear]

Ryuuzaki, hey.

There's some coconut soup around, I think.

[firm_detective]

*He turns around, giving Matt a dumbfounded, quizzical look.*

Coconut soup?

[onlydisappear]

It's sort of sweet?

Misa ventured out of his room most when he was lonely or bored, but too often, he didn't run into anyone. Today, he wanted to see if there might be some strawberry soda available in any of the kitchens, maybe even strawberry ramune. He wore a pair of tight hot pink pants and a distressed black t-shirt, matching pink streaks in his hair; it had all put him in mind of tastes he was missing from back home. Even if it was kid stuff, he still liked it.

He was surprised and pleased to find that someone already occupied the first kitchen he tried. He couldn't stop the tentative smile from spreading across his face.

"Um... hi! You're Matt, right?"

[onlydisappear]

[Well, this is a new one.]

Yeah... and you are?

[oshare_misa]

He looked to the side, seeming perhaps a little bit pouty: wasn't it obvious?

"Misa-Misa.

"Listen, have you seen any strawberry soda in here?"

[onlydisappear]

Sorry, ha. I never met a guy Misa before.

I saw some Tantrum, I think. And all kinds of tea and coffee.

[He's a little distracted by Misa's inherent boyness.]

Matt walks in the kitchen quietly and heads straight for the fridge. He looks in a moment and grabs out a energy drink not really paying attention to what kind he just needs enough energy to stay awake for a few more hours so he can play video games a little longer.
He sits down at the table quietly taking his PSP out of his vest pocket and turning it on.

[onlydisappear]

[Matt gives his double a reasonably good smile.]

Hey. Whatcha playing?
