The Ultimate Chessboard: Chaos Unraveled

Who: L and Blythe
Where: L and Frank's room.
When: August 13, after Pirate Week-or-So. Wednesday's child is full of woe...
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Well... have you ever tried to break up with someone who loves everything about you, who accepts you unconditionally, and who would lay his life down for you at a moment's notice? Now consider that he's excavated the buried horrors of a traumatic past and bared his very soul to you at one point or another. It's kind of like that. If abandoned hearts bleed, there will be blood (gallons of the stuff), and things will never be the same.
Summary: Blythe resolves to end things between herself and L, believing that her attachment to him will ultimately destroy one she cares for. It's tough, especially because they don't quite see eye-to-eye on the issue.

( It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift... )

Who: L and Light and Mello
Where: Emptiness
When: August 14, the day after L and Blythe's "termination". Thursday's child has far to go.
Rating: R, for violence and some sexual content (EDIT)
Warnings: L is beyond pissed, and there is some sexual content.
Summary: On his way back from installing cameras in parts of Emptiness that L wants to use for the Trial while away from home, an old enemy is encountered. A gun fight ensues, in which L almost pulverizes Light, but makes the big mistake of being sportsmanlike and firing a warning shot. He then gets shot in the shoulder, with the same kind of bullet Light used to control Blythe. From there, L has no choice but to do as Light says until Mello becomes an unlikely hero.

( Back off, I'll take you on... )
