Mikami Teru.

Mikami Teru. This is Kira.

I see.

[transcribed 'heh heh heh's]

Very interesting.

If the robot is such an annoyance, and people want to get rid of it, or are strong enough to do so without any problem, then why aren't they doing it? The system of justice in this castle is extremely disappointing.

Comments

There is no system of justice, unless you count vigilante justice.

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

In a sense, a vigilante can also count. Much like atheism.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

In a sense, I guess, but it's not really a system.

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

No, I agree with you. I just imagine if you tell the followers of a vigilante that their system isn't real, they would get angry, like people tend to do when you question their god.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

I imagine they would. And the next step would be to prove them wrong, thereby perpetuating injustice.

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

Perpetuating it? Not if you're convincing.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

What exactly is it that you do?

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

You could say I deliver justice.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

So I gather. Cop? Judge? You're probably not a vigilante.

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

Heh.

A cop, would be the closest thing.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

So then you're not really a cop.

Detective?

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

I'm still a student. Almost graduated. However, I have been given special permission to work on a case.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Must be pretty smart.

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

Something like that.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

You give cute answers.

What floor are you on?

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

Why?

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

Hey, you made me play a guessing game to figure out what you did; so let me play my own game. Here, I'll make it vague, in case you're the paranoid type: Top, middle, or bottom third of the castle?

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

Depends on the game you're playing. I find it curious that you're wondering where I am before you asked for a name. I thought we already decided that I'm not stupid.

I will rule out the top.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

Oh, I apologize--I'm Schuldig. You are...?

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

Schuldig, that's "Guilty", isn't it?

My name is Light.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

[transcribed general elevator noises; dictated:]

Light. That's an interesting name. Yes, that is what it means. You speak German?

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

[transcribed door opening and walking; dictated]

Seems we have that in common. And no, I don't.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

Oh, so you just know a few extremely random words. I see.

...You're not running away, are you, Light?

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

"Guilty" is not such a random word to me.

Running away? Not at all. Thought you wanted to play a game, so I was testing the rules.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

Now you're starting to sound like one of those crazy cops. The ones who are obsessed with justice.

New rule. You can't leave the floor you're on.

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

Does justice bother you then, Schuldig?

Fine. It's a big floor.

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

I wouldn't have a problem with justice, but it's always trying to fuck with me.

[filtered to Light]

Oh, hello. I win.

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

It does that.


[filtered to Schuldig]

Oh?

[Light]

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

Yeah. You are crazy.

[Schuldig]

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

Now why would you say that?

[Schuldig]

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

That's what we call murderers on Earth, Light. Crazy. Especially when they've killed as many people as you have.

[Schuldig]

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

Telepathy? What a nice trick. And what do you intend to do with this information? I can't have you telling stories, Schuldig.

And you're wrong. I'm not a murderer. I told you, I'm justice. No, no... I was God.

[Light]

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

That sounds like a threat. Too bad you don't have your little book.

If you kill people, you're a murderer. Sorry.

[Schuldig]

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

[Written now]

Shouldn't you already know I find my way around everything? Or aren't you that good?

Your opinion doesn't matter. It's your facts that do.

[Light]

[dirtyrottenliar.livejournal.com]

[dictated, along with the sound of an elevator door]

Ouch, my feelings. Don't worry, Light. Your secret's probably safe with me. [gigantic, exaggerated heart scribbled sloppily at the end]

[Schuldig]

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

I believe that would be in the best interests of both of us.


[ooc: Icon mostly irrelevant, I just wanted to use it 8D!!]

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

Taking care of a giant robot isn't justice. Its just maintenance yo.

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

This robot is, supposedly, intended for destruction. There are innocent people here, so if something can be done about it, it should be done. "Maintenance" or not.

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

Ever been in a fight before?

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

There isn't a lot of relevance in asking me that. Unless you care to explain otherwise?

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

Fighting something that size takes time. And something that could take out that thing easily would probably take out a good chunk of this place along with it. So probably would be better to do it the old fashion way.

If you're so concerned about innocents, instead of complaining about how quickly the fighters are performing their jobs? You could be helping evacuate them to safer locations.

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

I am aware of that. Yet I hear of no one actually doing anything after they've bragged about it in these little books. Considering who made that machine, I'm not sure it would actually do as much damage as you claim.

Evacuation is not my responsibility.

[ontheclockpro.livejournal.com]

Thats because the people who are doing something are too busy fighting the robot. The boasters, like in any world, probably can't do jack shit but like to sound like they can. And you know, given enough power and any idiot can do plenty of damage.

So you aren't going to fight or help people out. Then please, do me a favor and quit bitching. You're no better than the rest of them.

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

Jack Spicer does not have a lot of power.

I was making an observation, not "bitching", and I don't believe I owe you any favors. Although you seem to have nothing better to do with your time either.

[street-brawl.livejournal.com]

You think people aren't trying?

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

Are they?

[street-brawl.livejournal.com]

Looks like it to me.

[40secondstolive.livejournal.com]

Then things may have changed since I observed.

[street-brawl.livejournal.com]

Hnn. Maybe.
