Entry #B-5: "Broad" [An Inn in Violet City, Video]

Jun 27, 2011 00:17

[L's pokegear flickers on. Judging from the height and position, it is on a bookshelf in a room at a well-furnished and comfortable-looking inn. A television is well within view of the camera feed, and the room is empty save for L's Haunter Slightly ( Read more... )

[there's no way this would escape Light's attention, and so soon after their last conversation, too. L did look as if he was in a coma, if anything... There's just so much he could say to L about all of this, be it to mock him, to perhaps offer a bit of sympathy on the matter, or maybe even to congratulate him on having gained what seemed to be a girlfriend - he supposes there's a first for everything.]

[but he'll just settle with this.] Looks like you've been having a hard time. [he may sound a little sorry for him, all things considered.]

... [Well he wasn't expecting that. Then again to have any expectations of someone like L would probably be a mistake to begin with.]

No, really? Does the fact that I've only arrived in this place mean anything to you?

And, really, Ryuzaki, if you're going to take out your frustration for being careless enough to get your soul stolen on me, we should probably just talk at another time.

I'll tell you what it means to me (and incidentally, what it should mean to you): You would be well-advised to hold your judgments and conclusions until you have more information and know better.

I'd like to take this opportunity to cordially point out that you chose to contact me by responding to this particular video feed. You should know me well enough by now to have accurately predicted that it would turn out this way.

[bleh. Talking to him as he is now is probably pointless, but it feels like he would have lost if he just ended the call on L like this. (then again, L probably feels the same way, which was why he hasn't ended it either)]

... Right. [he concedes that slip up, having been overly aggressive without having the need to.]

Actually, seeing as I don't know how you've led your past three months, it's a little hard to predict how you'd react - I'll admit that. [He certainly didn't expect L to show this much emotion, if anything]

[It's really worth noting that aside from varying degrees of annoyance due to the events in the video feed, L's monotone really isn't demonstrating enough emotion to comment on.]

If you really feel that way, Light, I think it's time you stopped making assumptions. Have I changed in the last three months? It's likely, but it's nothing so drastic that someone who was handcuffed to me for roughly that long wouldn't be able to predict my reactions to some extent. I can think of several instances off the top of my head where you were witness to my frustration, and you seemed to get it then that I didn't want my suspect nitpicking at me when I clearly understood the situation better than he did.

[He's right, then. Too many assumptions have been made, and many of them, in hindsight, were simply ridiculous. Perhaps they were merely silly thoughts created in the heat of the moment, perhaps they weren't... Who's to say?]

... Alright. [he'll need to really get back to setting off on his journey-- it hadn't been moments after his initial conversation with L that Slightly began to play around the way he did, after all] I'll just talk to you another time, L. [he says this, dramatically calmer than before, before shutting the feed on L]
