[For L] Looking for the Girl...

It isn't often that Ryuk finds books that he likes that don't have a lot of pictures, but he's found some cute-freaky young adult novels that he thinks Misa would like.

And so he comes gliding into the main room, books under one long, skinny arm. "Hey, Misa! I found a present for yah," he says, looking around. Spying no sign of the Mansion's resident gothic-punk-loli, he'll headtilt. "Huh... she in room, makin' up her face or makin' up some new clothes?" Undeterred, he'll head back to search for her, sticking his head through the wall of her room. Not there, either.

Thus, he'll head out, scouring the Mansion for Misa, and gradually realizing she's nowhere to be found, his winged shoulders starting to droop in the process.

Looking for an L, though if anyone else wants to say hello to the mopey shinigami, feel free to tap the typist!

Having lost traces of Misa as well (he does like to stalk her, after all), L is looking for Ryuk, in fact.

The truth is, he's already come to the only logical conclusion, but he wants confirmation.

And so at some point or other, from a crouching position, the sound of an apple crunching, and a sedate voice.

"Hello, Ryuk."

"Hiya, L," Ryuk says, perking up a bit; it might be partly for the soul from a shared world to commiserate with, or it could be the smell of the apple, or both. "Awww, yer eatin' that apple: that's no good to me. Got any more where those came from?"

[identity profile] justiceis-blue.livejournal.com 2013-07-06 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"I might," L replies, though if he does, we're not sure where he keeps them.

"If you answer my question truthfully, that is."

The shinigami brightens up, his spooky grin returning. "Heh, good enough fer me: what'd need to ask?"

[identity profile] justiceis-blue.livejournal.com 2013-07-07 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
"I need you to tell me where Miss Amane has been."

Or rather, to confirm her disappearance.

"I was gonna ask *you* the same thing: I looked all over the house, and I ain't seen her nowhere in the house," he says. He'll glance at the books. "I had a present for her, too."

"Is that so?"

Not how unphased the detective is. As usual.

[identity profile] death-kl0wn.livejournal.com 2013-07-08 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah... cute girl deserves a nice present, and if yah like someone, yah give 'em presents, right?" he says. Ryuk had had more than a bit of a crush on Misa, not that he'd know what to do with her beyond bring her presents and accept hugs and apples from her. "She ain't around for me to give it to her: I looked, even in her room. Ain't there. Ain't nowhere."

Confirmation: the death god's testimony is the best corroboration L could hope for.

"This is... disconcerting."

"Tell me about it: this place needs more pretty girls," he says, his wings drooping a bit. "Won't be the same without her."

"It will be quieter," L notes dispassionately.

Good or bad thing? Hard to tell.

"Tell me about it," Ryuk says, moodily. "Is this how it feels to... miss someone? It's like someone pulled a piece outta the world."

This is a first for Ryuk, and he's not sure he likes the feel of it. Reminds him a bit of Rem...

"I suppose," and L is just so very detached. Ryuk, you're asking the wrong person.

"I do find this place far less interesting in Light's absence."

"There's those types that call themselves the Shadow Angels, the group that pretty-boy shinigami is runnin'," Ryuk points out. "Y' could always show them how it's done: they seem like a pretty ramble-shamble lot."

That would be the people L's been spying on for a while - he perks up, interested.

"Ah? How so?"

[identity profile] death-kl0wn.livejournal.com 2013-07-19 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, for one thing, they got one a' them low-rent pretty-boy shinigami, the kind that put my kind out've a job. He's leading up the group, or at least that's how it looks," Ryuk says. "All heart, no brains, yah ask me."

He might be veering toward making trouble for said pretty-boy shinigami.

L noted that before.

"And therefore useless in the case of a missing girl," he says.

He might just be waiting for Ryuk to speak.

"Useless for most anything, if yah ask me," he says. "Y' gonna show him how it's really done?" he asks, perhaps offering a challenge.

[identity profile] justiceis-blue.livejournal.com 2013-07-23 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
"I just might," L says slowly, as if it were a leisurely decision.

"It could be interesting."

This, to him, is a game. As is most of what he does.

"Heh, I'd like to see how *that* goes," Ryuk muses. This could get interesting, and it would get his mind off wondering what happened to Misa...

And it would be a good way to troll that damned newer-version shinigami, without that one suspecting a thing.

"We will have to see," L replies. He daintily gives Ryuk an apple.

"I believe our conversation has come to an end, shinigami."

"Good to end with an apple," Ryuk says, taking the apple and chomping into it, rapturously.

And good to fade? Happy to have them catch up again at your leisure :-)

Good to fade! And they can catch any time that's good for you!
