Time

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[B slouches over to people, biting the tip of his thumb. He is marginally more happy than he was when he first came back to life, though not quite smiling. He stares around in silence for a few moments, seeming to contemplate everyone.]

Does anyone have a watch that I can borrow? Or any time-keeping device. I do not know how long I will need it.

I think I might have something, hold on a second. [Poofs away for a few minuets and comes back holding a cheap plastic watch] This was just a cereal box prize, will it work?

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

Do you actually own anything?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[B looks at it.] Yes, as long as it tells time. [Realizes he should ask:] ...Will you need it back soon?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[Huh, good question. B thinks about it. His finger is pulling his lip down, and he's looking up, pondering deeply. Then he looks back at Agito.] Nope.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

How come?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

Regrettable incidents in my world.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

You know, I asked around about you in L's world and nobody could tell me who you were. Only the old guy gave me a funny look and said we shouldn't discuss this while the others were around.

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

...

You could say that I am one of L's better kept secrets. [He grins a little at this.]

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

He must have a really good reason to keep you a secret.

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[Grinning, with his finger pressed against his unparted lips. You've got him feeling all playful, Agito.] Maybe he doesn't want to share me.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

Didn't you say he was like a father to you? This makes it sound like there was more going on between you.

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[Smiling.] He was like a father, yes. What may or may not be going on between us may or may not be considered more. Regardless, it is part of the secret.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

You're making Agito very curious here, he really likes to know things] Secrets are there to be told~

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[Beyond kind of has the urge to bring L into this conversation.] I am not in the business of secret-telling.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

[That'd be interesting] Then I could only believe the worst which probably makes you look a whole lot worse than if you'd tell me the actual secret.

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[B is laughing inside. Ohhh, how he doubts that. Talks almost to himself, only a little sarcastic:] Ah, poor Luxaky. Agito believes the worst of him...

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Shakes his head]No, you can keep it for as long as you need it.

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

...And now you're talking to yourself. [Hello creep. :|]

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, Luxaky talks to himself. Luxaky talks and talks and talks.

[Oh, L is going to be making a post. Want to move this over there?]

[bloodyroadking.livejournal.com]

Luxaky should shut up if he doesn't want me to call the men in white coats. [You know, ignoring his own double personality issue and all]

[Sure~]

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[Smiling a little. Takes the watch and starts to put it on.] Thank you. Again. [Pause] Shun.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Smiles] Your welcome.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Why does time need keeping?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[Holding his finger to his lips.] It doesn't. I am trying to conduct an experiment.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oooh, what sort, if you don't mind me asking?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[Ponders how much to tell him.] An experiment to see how time passes here...in relation to time in other realities.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Ahh, that sounds fascinating, really.

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[Nods once, slowly.] I am interested in seeing the results.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[tilts his head] Bit of an experimenter, eh?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[...the corner of his mouth curls into a grin.] You could say that, yes.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[noticed that look] What else could I say?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

Many things, I am sure. [After a pause:] What is one thing I could say about you? Truthfully.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Truthfully? You shouldn't mistake me for nice. [though he said this seriously, the tone switches to playful] I'm just too modest for that.

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

Is that so? [Considers him. He notes the playfulness, but only for the reason behind his not being nice. He takes the actual statement seriously.] I'll make sure not to consider you nice, then. [After a pause:] And I expect the same from you.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[looks a bit surprised] Not a nice bloke, are you?

[b-ittersweets.livejournal.com]

[Considers, then shrugs.] Nice enough.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Then nice enough it is.
