11 PM - Kitchen Thread

[eraser_rain]

[All characters have relocated to the kitchen where they've set envelopes on the table; characters were encouraged (but not required on any game-based level) to put anything besides their welcome message/map into the envelope. Fake outs, of course, allowed. Separate thread by requests since it's been about two months. If your character put anything in their envelope, a reminder that you can post an anonymous comment with the contents of an envelope here, just be sure to PM sheep_dog to let them know you did in case there's any questions. Once your character's made a reply we'll assume you've had a chance to leave any message. Feel free to leave your anonymous messages in or outside the thread.

Characters can put their vote-off post on the bulletin board after the kitchen thread, but due to OOC issues Haneoka had to be the one voted off the first round. We've confirmed enough characters will vote her off anyway but feel free to list whoever else you want. You can do that anonymously too if you prefer.]

[Something in his bearing seems to grow a little more reserved - intrigued, but a little suspicious.]

I've spoken to a few who feel the same way, but that's always been my opinion. Why?

[takethecake]

Because you are in danger, Ryuk-san. Is it possible that your actions in search of entertainment have been seen as upsetting a perceived natural order?

[andeatit]

I wonder... [Light would mumble and move closer to Ryuk. He should have Mikami's pages, after all. That was all that was left.] Where does a Death God fit into the natural order?

[inthecolosseum]

[This, for the first time, seems like an idea that concerns him to some extent. The shinigami sobers visibly, his speech a little more thoughtful.]

The only authority I can think of that we're accountable to is our king, and he's pretty hands-off. Shinigami aren't really held accountable to much. But... most don't really interact directly with humans.

[takethecake]

Shinigami also do not normally end up trapped anywhere so outside of their comprehension. But are you saying that you have interacted with humans more than most even prior to this?

[inthecolosseum]

Nah. You're getting more shinigami interaction here than almost any humans who have ever lived. Well, that have known about it.

[takethecake]

I see... [He either pouts or just happens to stick his lower lip out further to push up from beneath it with his thumb.]

Then would you like to interact with me privately for a bit? While getting papers for us to vote for the one either most or least likely to be guilty. [L motions from his kitchen perch all the way out across the main room where the bulletin board is.]

[eraser_rain]

Nobody stands out as specifically likely to be guilty of an uncommitted crime. In the first place, if one of us is a murderer, sending that person away to safety rather than administering justice would be a problem. Sending the most innocent home would be best... If we're even trusting that that's what happens in playing along with this.

[andeatit]

I agree with Mikami-san, though I would also like to add that there's yet to be a crime to be guilty of. Any evidence would be circumstantial.

Though, before you steal Ryuk away...[His eyes went to the Shinigami.] Would you mind handing over the papers Mikami-san gave you for safe keeping so they can also be destroyed?

[inthecolosseum]

Huh... Sure, I guess. Lead the way, human.

((Ryuk getting hit on by L. I was not expecting that. ;) I kid.))

[andeatit]

Ryuk. The paper?

[ooc: I saw it coming. L and his sneaky tactics.]

[inthecolosseum]

Ah. [He almost hands it over, but quickly thinks better of it - at least for whatever degree it still matters, setting it down.] Almost forgot.

[andeatit]

Almost forgot?

[inthecolosseum]

You can't tell me humans never wander off with something in their hand without meaning to, can you?

[andeatit]

I'm going to make copies and shred them. You're free to watch me, if he doesn't mind a delay in the conversation.

[eraser_rain]

There isn't any reason to make a copy. I'd scanned mine to show you and you did the same. It can be printed from the computer in the office.

[inthecolosseum]

[Ryuk flits his gaze to L for a reaction to this one, his own - if cryptic - body language seeming at least as indifferent as it normally does.]

((This icon might be a little TOO indifferent, but.))

[takethecake]

[Looking from Mikami then to Light, watching their reactions, unlike Ryuk, L is openly invested in the outcome.]

[andeatit]

Copies, scanned or no, are the only important factor. As long as the original is destroyed in the end, it makes no difference. To have everything covered, we need copies of all those in the envelope.

[takethecake]

If you like, Ryuk-san and I can tend to that as we gather the items from the office. He will be able to carry them without leaving marks.

[inthecolosseum]

Hey, don't volunteer my help without asking first. [There's a little wry tone of amusement at least, making it pretty clear his offense is insincere.]

[andeatit]

If you don't mind me coming along, I can leave once it's finished.

[takethecake]

And leave the two of them alone?

[andeatit]

They're adults. I'm sure I can trust them alone long enough to destroy dangerous weapons.

[eraser_rain]

We can all go.
