[The recording clicks on, and a flat, raspy, mildly surprised-sounding voice speaks:]

... Misora, did you redecorate?

[There’s a calculated pause, where the only audible sound is that of faint, ragged breathing, before the voice resumes:]There is no point to redecorating. The apartments are on loan to us, temporarily. Certainly you can endure ( Read more... )

[Startled, though not truly surprised by the appearance of B (his one time "Back Up") L listens carefully to the audio feed, waiting and watching for any clues as to identify his state of mind. He's hoping for improvement, but understands the sentiment is little more than that.]

Well, that was unexpected.

[He still sounds only mildly surprised, and taps lightly on the device.]

Hello? Is this still on?

[L freezes. Recovering instantly from the jolt of fear that voice inflicted, he oh, so carefully tilts the device away from his mouth, masking the sound of his breathing. As paranoid as it is, he can't shake the idea that Beyond knows it's him, L, on the other end of the open line.]

[B wouldn't recognize L's voice even if he did hear it. As it stands, B has no reason to believe L is anywhere nearby, either. Even if he is still in Los Angeles (which is becoming less likely by the minute), B believes he was winning, three steps ahead of L.]

Must be broken.

[He tries punching a few buttons, testing.]

[B can tell it's quite obvious the person currently speaking isn't Naomi Misora - but that's no reason to abandon his persona. This entire situation is more than suspicious, and B concludes it would be best to err on the side of caution here.]

Misora? You sound quite different. Perhaps if you spoke up a little I could hear you better.

[Now B knows for certain something in his plan has definitely gone awry - he's not where he should be, not in the right apartment complex at all. Misora wouldn't freely give away her identity if they were both still in the intended building; doing so would jeopardize the plan he'd led her into, and she wouldn't be fit to act as L's shield if she were that stupid.]

Oh, my apologies. [He doesn't sound particularly apologetic, though.] Who is this, then?

Are you ok?

[She heard the crash]

[audio] cruciverbal June 26 2009, 14:21:30 UTC

You're not Misora either.

[audio] hiddensnake June 26 2009, 19:06:16 UTC

No. I'm Medusa Preston.

[The 'S' is hissed like a snake]

[audio] cruciverbal June 28 2009, 05:27:48 UTC

We haven't met.

[Not really a question, the way B says it.]

Hey cowboy, I am afraid you are not in Kansas any more, si?

[audio] cruciverbal June 26 2009, 14:15:54 UTC

I wasn't in Kansas to begin with.
