[Video] In a bit of a Jam - May 12

[Beyond has had to restrain himself all the way to his assigned home. It was so hard not to go and follow that white haired moron who just couldn't bloody give him what he wanted. He's sure that L is here now, if not it's that dumb, useless Naomi Misora. Either way, he had an image to hold up and had decided this was the best way to do things. He looks quite like L, only the smallest, most subtle differences that would require the screen to be closer to see or him in front to relay other than some of the mannerisms that he wasn't able to study in full.

He's laying on his bed, arms outstretched in front of him, on his side with a bit of his cheek hidden in the pillow even if both wide eyes are staring into ~~your soul~~ the screen.]

Hello.
As it seems there is a man who both has my name and possibly the answers to who I am. After being toyed with jerked about even by one of your residents I had just met I profess a lesser tolerance for it at this time. He thought it hilarious, I'm sure, to pretend to give a damn and then walk off to leave me questioning both my sanity, my life as it was and just who I can trust around a strange place that I've no knowledge of, no more than a fledgling. I thought that perhaps it wouldn't make a difference if I asked everyone if they know who I am. I've no memories prior to the room and only that Ryuzaki is significant to me.

There must be one compassionate person within the lot of you, I trust that statistics hold out in there is always a chance of meeting someone who doesn't -- how does it go? -- get off on another's misery still applies here.

[He brings his thumb to his lip, eyes wide and unblinking into the mirror while he's seemingly trying to study it while it broadcasts him.]
Also, any information on how to use this system more efficiently would be greatly appreciated. I'd owe you one, in other words.

Thank you.

[Instead of turning off the system, Beyond lets it sit on his bed face down and no more than bare feet are seen walking out of one part of the room and into the next to see just what there was there.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[It was a good thing to do, walk on the eggshells that is. Beyond was in no mood after dealing with Bakura.

The voice knew more than 'Ryuzaki'. He supposed it wasn't hard to flush out the hens from the hen house when the fox showed up at their door way. Giddy moments bubbled up and he was glad to have to activate any sort of communication, it gave him moments to be macabre and gleeful before working himself back in to character.]

Pardon me, beyond what? I'm sure I don't know you, Sir, for this to be the second time. Though, if you're responding in such a manner, maybe it is. I couldn't safely say.

If you have information as to my life or dealings here, previous to this morning I would be greatly indebted.

[Beyond felt dirty saying that. He was sure he'd sit in a hot bathtub and scrub with razors to get the dirt off, being this pleasant to someone who might just be L.]

I have no interest in playing this particular game with you, B. The claim that you are suffering from amnesia might be indulged by others, but I cannot bring myself to believe it.

I can bring myself to help you. It was never my wish to deny you anything that could help you... you just need to let me.

[Beyond was having a hard time not spitting venom at those words, this was definitely him and if he were in the room saying such things the facade might have been broken but time between replies, replying to others, it gave him enough time to breathe it out. How convenient this place was turning out.]

B? Is this something I should know?

[And almost had to bite his tongue not to ask just where 'A' was. But no. All things in due time. All things in it's proper time.]

Whatever game you believe I'm playing, I assure you I am not, nor do I have the patience to be harassed again by someone who seems to know me. I am asking for your help and if you intend to do it then do- if not, then I cannot agree to this conversation any longer.

[...But GOD how he wanted it.]

You have no reason or need to feign ignorance. You're committed to this charade, that much is clear... but I can't help you if you persist like this.

Please let me help you, B.

I am asking for help!
You people are sick, twisted! You and your friend-- If you refuse to help me even offering to help me then stop TORMENTING me!

[That one had been close, too close, and Beyond had to throw down the object onto the bed after shutting it off to breathe shakily and stare into one of the mirrors in his new home instead. Thankfully the other could be put down before he had to steady himself. Remind himself that L would of course know he was joking, but with a world full of others that didn't know him he could still be the victor.]

[He's had time to calm down, and it'd seem odd if he didn't call him back. Especially if he was the man with answers.]

Is it true? How a like we look? You saw my face. Is your name really Ryuzaki or is it mine? And above all, are you truly willing to help me?

I have never thought we looked alike, and my name is not really Ryuzaki. It's not really your name, either, and I believe you are only pretending not to know it.

Believe what you'd like, Mister Ryuzaki. I can't prove nor be disproved to anyone who doesn't believe me, or believes me. As it is I don't think you're being truthful about wanting to help me out, you offered, I accepted and you strike out at me.

You were the one noted to know more about me and your associate, Bakura Ryou, had speculated as much.

Either you do or don't. Could you at least tell me my name?

I have, and repeating myself is not something I do gladly. Even for my friends.

I won't tell you again to cease feigning ignorance. People don't lose their memories when they arrive here, and it would be a suspicious anomaly.

While I appreciate that, your obstinate position is getting us no where. Your disbelief even less.

[Beyond resolves to scrub himself with abrasive items around the house in a hot bath to scald his skin red for being pleasant to L.

In a cell while you're trying your best to find things to do in the dark, you practice things and it's one of those elated moments Beyond gets to use some of it.

He sighs. Yep. That's it. Not just any sigh, a defeated one.]

And is that a threat? You sound as though you're threatening me. At this rate, would it matter to you if I did or didn't have memory loss? You seem hellbent to be vague.

Edited (Yep. It's 0651) 2013-03-18 12:51 (UTC)

The only aggression you perceive is what you project onto me yourself.

I can't stop you from projecting. I can't stop you from hurting yourself, even if I wish I could. I can only hope that we can reach an understanding that prevents you from hurting others while you are here, Beyond.

[That. Is. Better. Take your threats and insert them directly into your sphincter, L. Because he backed off, Beyond won't play an entire idiot, he'll give you that much, L.]

Then that's my misinterpretation based on less than welcoming events. But you've said something curious, among the other curious things you've said just now including the secondary mention of a word out of context.

Do you believe I'm going to do something dangerous to myself or others?

[Because you're right.]

Yes.

I believe that you are, or at least that you'll try.

You could always be counted on to try, to the very best of your ability.

[Good God he wished he'd have a bit of a break between having to be nice. To just let go of this. If L were in front of him just now... Especially with that comment carrying undertone.]

Then you would be wrong. I reference you to a conversation with one Kaworu, I trust you're reading? I know only how to copy a filter, not create one.

You want to help me- How would you help me?

I have been watching. It is a convincing performance, but only enough to fool someone who hasn't the template for all of your tricks.

I would get you the help of medical professionals. Refer you to doctors, specialists, pay for your care. You could benefit from treatment in this world, as well as in the last one.

You're probably recording this.

But you've only one glaring issue. I asked how you would help, not how much I can be bought for. I'm as sane as I am breathing. I don't need your charity. I don't need your help.

You keep insulting me. You wouldn't enjoy being insulted, would you? No, no, no you wouldn't.

I am attempting to reason with you, and that is not an insult. It is the highest praise I can give, Beyond.

It means I still consider it worthwhile to try, do you see...?

[Beyond's not sure what to do with that it is praise and he only knows how to react to violence, threats and misgivings or chase. There's a long silence and though he doesn't enjoy hearing he's trying to be reasoned with he's being reasonable noyourenotbeyond, that isn't enough to latch on to.]

You'll excuse my hard time believing you will. You hunted me like a dog until I got tired of your shadow and stepped out of it into the warm sunlight. Then discarded me in a place full of professionals and doctors.

You behaved contrary to everything you were taught. You were sick, but you chose to wear the face of evil, and you chose to murder those people. I hunted you because you became a monster, and I hunt monsters.

But I don't want you to be sick, Beyond. I want you to be well. Can you understand?

No. I was taught to aspire and reach to be the best. Those people were going to die as is how am I to blame for death's design? If I was a monster then, how am I not a monster now? You contradict yourself. You'd have me believe you, drop my guard and put me back into the helping care of those who'd see me long dead before they'd see me fit for society. Fit in a way you yourself should experience. You don't hunt monsters, you hunt sport, everyone is a fox to your hunt.

You want to put me away again. You're protecting something -- what is it?

I'm protecting us both.

You think you stand to gain something from finding me. You're trying to by asking others to introduce us, or at least reveal my location to you.

It won't be like that, Beyond.

But, Sir, shouldn't you be proud of me? I'm doing things I'd been taught. Not only but you flatter yourself, your importance is only your worth in my curiosity at being called by name only to find out, you've been a naughty thief yourself. very nighty does this count at fraud?

You've done it once already.
How do I know I can even begin to trust you?

You were my successor once. I know you, and your history, intimately, and it is not my wish to see you end your life or someone else's because "death's design" decreed it.

Of all those you could give your trust to, I am not the least deserving by far.

[Again there's silence, it's not to hear he was L's successor once, he doesn't want to be his successor any longer. He will be storing the way it was said away for later, it's everything else he's said

There's that positive statement again. Something's off and he's not sure if it's a trick or L himself. Or now even sure this is L.]

You know what was written down... and are correct on where you stand concerning my trust. It is no something you'll win with pretty words or promises as good to me as wooden nickles wooden and useless. How do you believe your rude patsy would like to hear what you and Mister Wammy-- Roger did to us? I may have chosen my destiny my destiny but that place drove us both to it. Drove a child mad and ~

[He pauses-]

-A household of people couldn't see as I saw, time ticking away from his face like a time bomb waiting to explode. Where were your deep pockets and ultimate concern then, Sir? Busy. Why now? Of what gain is it to you?

I do what I can, as always, to keep the damage to a minimum.

Not being God, it is the extent of my skill. I don't pretend otherwise.
