001 [Action]

[godofnight]

[Over a month has passed since Light has been trapped in Mallow Hallow. It's an unsettling degree of time for anyone who has been forcibly wrested away from their worlds by a megalomaniacal self-important Queen, but for a fledgling god who had been on course to purge the world of human rot, this is particularly devastating.

Light Yagami's extended absence from home means that Kira's punishment of criminals will have also come to an abrupt halt. While this remains, at best, circumstantial evidence to suggest that Kira's identity is that of one missing college student, there's no getting around the fact that L will have taken note of that pesky little coincidence.

And how much will his percentage have jumped up this time? Three percent? Ten percent? Fifty?

Only barely is he able to keep himself from scowling openly at the thought of Ryuuga/Ryuuzaki/L —whatever stupid alias the damn bastard wants to go by— leering at him from his own head.

No matter, Light has always been a suspect in the Kira case. As long as the task force can't get a hold of the death note, they won't have anyway of proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is Kira back home. And this, he knows, will prove to be impossible for them as he currently has both death notes, his and Misa's, in his possession.

So he'll probably have to adjust his plans. When he breaks out of this damn hellhole and returns home, he won't be able to resume the killings right away, but that's okay. This was never about winning the world overnight. it was always going to be a gradual conversion process, with or without L's interference. Light can still win this should he return home. This isn't an unsalvageable catastrophe.

Tucking his hands into his pockets, Light leaves his temporary home in Orlea to take a long walk to clear his head. There's no such thing as a fool-proof cage, but if on the off chance that there is one, Light refuses to acknowledge that Queenie could ever be its designer.]


((OOC: While this starts out in Orlea, Light will be walking all over Mallow Hallow, so feel free to bump into him wherever, just specify the location in your header.))

[In Crystalden]

[doctor_insano]

[In the tech city of Crystalden there's a figure dressed like a typical doctor or surgeon but with very odd goggles on. Either way, he may seem a bit mad as he's muttering to himself as he perhaps walks by Light.]

The worldwide takeover will have to be postponed at this rate. Bah! Do I have to do all the evil things by myself?!

MH or wherever? Suggest someplace? IDK. :)

[hollowbutnotempty]

*Doll is out taking a walk somewhere too, exploring. What looks like a pale, skinny teenager-or-so at first is actually a human-sized doll of some kind (A shinigami, surely? Except others can see it too, by how they avoid walking into or through the big toy... yes, Light, puzzle that out!)*

*But Doll pauses outside a shop's window to peek in, curious, looking for something. It resided in the pillow-district, but maybe it would find what it was looking for elsewhere....*

[Astralfield]

[darkhourdear]

[Pharos has been doing his fair share of exploring the districts- mostly Orlea and Astralfield, because there seemed to be so much in Orlea and Astralfield was constantly changing. He was doing one such exploration now, following some creature he'd never seen before but by now he's lost sight of it. He's a little annoyed about that.

On his way to find something else to learn about, though, he spots a familiar face and smiles.]

Hello.

[Astralfield]

[dontforgettosmile]

[being an odd game/dream construct, Smile had less of a hard time wrapping his mind around suddenly being in a different place than normal. it happened all the time back "home" so there really wasn't much for him to panic over.

that and there were too many interesting looking people around here along with his always-favorite target. observing them, whether they wanted to be or not, was quickly turning into a hobby for Smile.

so while Light is out and about for his walk, he might start feeling like he's being followed. Smile is a few feet behind him, twisted smile, tattoos and all, if he wants to look.]

[Orlea]

[defaming]

[Kristoph seldom leaves Orlea, and he has no real reason to. It's the district most like his own home, most orderly and to his liking. The people are polite, and he's had no problems. He doesn't deal well with problems.

When he passes Light, he's more than ready with a nod and a (fake but convincing) smile]

Good afternoon. How are you today?

[killerb]

[B's been in a similar predicament; having been pulled from home the night before August 22nd, the day of his final "murder", and having come far enough to realize that no, there is no way out and this is not an extremely long dream (despite the way living in Astralfield makes it hard not to insist as such, and the way he couldn't see the King and Queen's names and lifespan regardless of them being fully alive), he's come to Orlea with a clear mind to rethink his plans. However, he's still dressed and acting in his "Ryuzaki" persona. Can't let it get rusty.

If time passes on the outside, he's going to have to rethink another formula for "B" and possible future dates. If he can't have 9-4-9-4, then what else can he use? It's been two weeks. That means it'd be September 5 today... So the possibility of actually setting it on 9/4 has passed. He crosses that off the list he's already made, and takes a sip of a shake he got at a cafe. How far ahead should he plan before just giving up? This was truly disappointing.

Taking a bit of a break, he looks out into the crowd boredly. Maybe he'll find a B.B. here. Although without L's notice, it would hardly matter.

.... Though, Light's name sticks out thanks to its odd little spelling. The resulting headtilt could almost look like recognition, although he's not trying to make contact.]

[the2nd_kira]

[ When Light left the apartment they were staying, she had decided to surprise him. She had already failed miserably at getting an audience with the queen. It was difficult, but she somehow did manage to not blow up at the queen then and there. Failing Light had been the most difficult thing to ever happen to her ...

... aside from Light saying he needed to date other girls of course. But because he loved her he forgave her. She wanted to repay him for his love by surprising him.

She decided to surprise him.

With her cooking. ]
