[You won’t hear it, of course - this is a text transmission, a neutral medium, the safest way to communicate without giving away either his identity or his emotional state - but underneath the words he types out, Light is positively seething with rage at the presumed injustice of being abducted by Near.

It has to be Near, he thinks. It’s the only

You believe this to be a kidnapping? How foolish of you.

[supervigilance]

["Thank you for your unsolicited opinion," Light might type out in response. What an idiot. Calling me foolish? Who are these people?]

It's actually a perfectly reasonable conclusion, given both the current circumstances and what I've been previously dealing with.

[Don't worry, you are foolish and unfit in this Meister's eyes. And, no matter how intelligent you actually are, that won't change. He's pretty intelligent, too.]

If you had taken a moment to carefully observe the other inhabitants of this place instead of jumping to a ridiculous conclusion, it would be quite obvious that this is no kidnapping.

[And now he dares to question my methods? Light narrows his eyes at the screen and types out his response:]

Actually, in my line of work, I find that time is usually of the essence. And, based on my initial investigation, along with previous details I'm not at liberty to discuss, it seemed that my conclusion was not, as you claim, "ridiculous." I wouldn't expect a civilian to understand, and furthermore, unless you have unbiased, useful facts to offer, I'd ask that you refrain from making any further judgmental remarks.

[Newbie, uptight asshole. Clearly the best option here is to fuck with him.]

[Oh good, another one of these idiots who can't type properly and uses ridiculous font colors. Given the array of interactions he's encountered thusfar, Light wonders if this entire area is populated entirely with children.]

I have neither the time nor the patience for your childish games.

I think I already have enough for an obstruction of justice charge.

text. this can only go swimmingly

[akingmuststand]

I'm afraid the situation at hand might be a little more complex than that. How much has been explained to you?

text. THANK KIRA AN ADULT FINALLY ;~;

[supervigilance]

I wouldn't say anything at all has been explained, actually.

[So far, Light's found himself insulted, and the subject of childish jokes, but nothing as far as a real explanation. He still doesn't believe this nonsense about faeries, either.]

Would you be able to provide that information?

text. YAY (yay)

[akingmuststand]

The place you've arrived in is known as Demeleier, and to our knowledge is somehow removed from whatever world it is we consider to be home. Here, you'll find a number of people who, like yourself, have been brought here and essentially imprisoned unwillingly.

[supervigilance]

[So far, this is marginally more helpful than everyone else put together.]

How many are there? Do you know who is responsible?

[ well, no better way to mess with an uptight, paranoid newbie than with some good, old fashioned douchery. ]

Your offer has been denied.
We take no negotiations.
Pay no heed to the idiot in red.

[supervigilance]

["The idiot in red"? I'm surrounded by idiots. Light thinks he'd be better off ignoring them altogether, but against his better judgment, he types out a response and presses SEND.]

Who is this?

[cogniitiion]

[ Easy enough to read through previous entries. He has time to waste. ]

Three guesses, Ryuga Asahi.

[supervigilance]

I have neither the time nor the patience to waste on guessing games.

[The fact that whoever this is mentions "the idiot in red" makes Light think there's a good chance they're connected somehow - that and the fact that they both seem intent on antagonizing him in the most inane manner possible.]

If you have something relevant to discuss, please continue. Otherwise, I'll be ending this exchange.
