The Ultimate Chessboard: Chaos Unraveled

Who: Sphinx and the trial representatives
Where: The place beyond the door of the Room of Ceremonies.
When: The starting day of the trial.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Don't know.
Summary: After the first part of the first trial begins, and everyone is brought to the ceremony, each character is led individually into the place beyond the door to meet Sphinx, who will give them their trials.

[ooc: As helpful instructions, the order (though it doesn't have to be done in order OOCly, ICly, story-wise, it will) of people will be Mitch, Light, Mello, Blythe, Flauros, L, Jazz, Frank, Wesker and Maria. This is the order that the characters will be called in and given their riddle by Sphinx.

Every character is expected to post to THIS, not to other comments in this page, to start interaction with Sphinx, so that every character has a 'thread' with Sphinx within this page. This is to speed things along so that everyone gets their riddle in a somewhat vaguely timely manner, even if other people's schedules make them faster or slower to respond.

Characters will not be able to interact with anyone other than Sphinx in this thread, as Sphinx will be the only one present aside from the character entering the room, always.

The following is what occurs whenever someone steps inside.]

Who: Light and Mello (Open)
Where: Niflheim's Ship
When: Day Before the End of Pirate Week
Rating: PG-13 (subject to change)
Warnings: Two egotistical assholes get into a sword fight and probably drag lots of skeletons out of closets.
Summary: This has been building up and building up, and is due for bubbling over. Mello laughs at Light's skirts and corsets. Light gets pissy. Mello thinks this is fucking hilarious. I'd like to see how long this "sword fight" lasts before Mello brings out his bazooka or gets chain-banged by Light. xD

Unfortunately, he doesn't quite realize the reaction Morana will have when put under too much emotional strain.
