 So this time you intend on ripping my soul out for the world to see. Oh, no, that's fine. Besides, you're going to do it no matter what I say, right?

Damn it. Why do I bother talking to you?

You can be so negative, Lelouch.

[notist]

Exactly how is my soul withered? Waxing poetic, are we?

[ Gosh, Lulu, slightly harsh there. How do you know his soul isn't juicy as a satsuma? ]

The new place I'm setting off for splits your soul from your body upon entry and it takes the form of who you really are, although it sounds more like a metaphorical manifestation than anything. Mine's a red-tailed hawk, they're called "daemons".

[notist]

Still bitter that you've missed me? That's not very nice, even if it's touching in a back-handed way.

[ Knows that, and calls him out on it because dicks are dicks are besties forever. ]

Evidently, my eyes glow red in a meta-fashion that neither you or me will ever witness. A hawk has sharp sight, all of that ... it sounds ridiculous to me.

[lovesickkiller]

Light's soul?

[That sounds scary, Misa doesn't like the though of Light having that ripped away at all. She puts her hands on his chest, vaguely hoping to keep his soul inside. Is there even such a thing as a soul? There must be, if Light is concerned about having it taken out.]

Why would anyone want to do that?

[notist]

[ His hand covers those on his chest, smoothly sliding them off to hold at her sides. Slightly less embarrassing upon first sight, that way. ]

Because people will be able to see what I really am, Misa, which is apparently a novelty.

[lovesickkiller]

But... it must be really good! If a soul shows who someone really is.

[Light is a savior, after all.]

Will it hurt? Doesn't Light need his soul inside?

[notist]

It'll hurt at first but not for long, and I won't be in pain if the animal stays close.

[lovesickkiller]

Misa doesn't want Light to hurt at all!

[She struggles to take hold of him again, hating the idea of Light being in any pain.]

Wait, Light's soul is an animal...?

[notist]

It'll be a bird.

[ He doesn't mind the form of it, soaring over other daemons sounds pretty acceptable as far as his soul's ego goes. He does grasp her hands and give what should be a reassuring squeeze, mainly to stop her scrabbling and making a scene. ]

A daemon is your soul become manifest, it walks by your side and can talk like a human.

[bindsthedead]

Would that really be such a terrible thing? As it's been explained to me, it won't harm us.

[notist]

I've been through enough and I don't really appreciate being jerked around.

Also: Any interaction between Light and Mrs. Coulter will be amazing.

[bindsthedead]

Do things like that happen to you often?

he'll try and make nice with her, heh

[notist]

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

[bindsthedead]

Really? I could say much the same about what's happened to me. However, it seems we shall all have to believe each other.

[notist]

Are you getting a daemon when you arrive?

[deuteragony]

Yagami-kun believes in souls? [His thumb is on his lip, his expression mildly curious.]

[notist]

[ Oh, God, no. ]

It's not that I believe in them, it's just a fact of the place I'm supposed to be heading to. You have a soul and it's taken out of you to go around walking and talking like a circus attraction.

[deuteragony]

If everyone ends up with a... daemon... then Yagami-kun's daemon will not draw as much attention as he seems to fear it will. [He offers an exaggerated approximation of a reassuring smile.]

[notist]

[ Why are you such a dick, L. ]

I'm not scared over it, I don't care if everyone can see whatever it is that comes out of me. I have nothing to hide.

[ Have a bland, unimpressed folding of his arms to go with that cheesy smile. ]

It's just wrong, splitting a person up into pieces like that. You shouldn't do it, even if it's possible. People are already complex enough without smashing apart the pieces of their own private jigsaw.

[deuteragony]

[Yet again, Yagami takes L aback somewhat with a statement that's simply too corny to be an act.

He'll just keep to the more important business here, which would be:] I never accused you of having something to hide, Yagami-kun.

[notist]

You assumed I'd be afraid of what people would see when they looked at my daemon, I was just dispelling that notion.

[ Justice isn't corny, L, nor are human rights ... as Light views them. ]
