Do the creep.

[takethecake]

[At the beginning of day two and closer to sunrise than midnight, somebody will be wandering around the halls with the Master Bedroom computer wrapped up in a bathrobe for easy transport. He won't open any closed bedroom doors but he will be testing the computer in the bedroom hallway, the laundry room, the office, and the dining room.

He also snoops through any clothing still left by that time in the laundry room and takes a spoon, a mug, a bag of sugar, and tea bags from the pantry before retreating to the Master Bedroom walk-closet.

Sneaking up might not be very effective but he won't show signs of hearing anybody coming or looking unless they seem to want to be noticed.

All of this will take just under 30 minutes.


Update: L screams in his thread with Ryuk. Others would probably hear it if they're near the walk-in closet.]

You talk as if you have nothing to fear. That's dangerous, maybe even for a Shinigami.

[That stiff expression shifts with a surprising rubberiness, twisting into a scowl of mirthful ominousness as he leans conspiratorially closer.]

I've lived a long, long time, and I'll live a long time yet. There are only two things that can kill a shinigami. One of them, I don't need to worry about. The other is boredom, and I couldn't possibly get bored with an interesting situation like this.

((A purely IC boast, to the best of my OOC knowledge. Whether or not the current situation provides any way to kill him directly, I have no idea.))

[takethecake]

I see. This must be even scarier for you than for us.


((I trust you! With over half the cast being DN the mods must know the series and probably considered Ryuk when finalizing things.))

[Ryuk is quiet for a good while, enough that it's pretty clear he has no earthly idea what to make of that comment. Eventually, he seems to decide to just not strain himself over it.]

So... What exactly were you doin' before you turned up here, anyway?

[takethecake]

The same thing I've been doing since I've turned up: pursuing a murderer.

[inthecolosseum]

[Ryuk seemingly considers this for a short while - or just stares off into space - before slowly drawing himself into a standing position once more.]

Ya never answered my question. Anything you'd like me to tell the outside world on your behalf?

[takethecake]

I'd prefer they not know about me to kill me but I guess it can't be helped now. It's a shame I screamed.

But them knowing about you will be more dangerous to you. Are you sure you want to go out there?

[inthecolosseum]

[A grin splits the Shinigami's face once more as he straightens up, flexing.] I told you, I don't have anything to worry about, and I really need to check if any apples have been stocked here. It's been nice talking to you, human. I hope you don't die too quickly.

[L only looks up and stares, waiting for him to leave, to watch him simply phase through the wall again.

Once he's gone, his tongue clicks as if in disappointment about something before turning back to the computer.]
