The Ultimate Chessboard: Chaos Unraveled

Who: L and... guess. Go on, guess! xD
When: Four days after the Trial results are announced
Where: The Forest
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Scary shit. Nothing sexual, but this is pretty frightening. Light will be exploiting one of L's darkest fears.
Summary: This is most likely the last time L and Light will be meeting with each other before Matsuda and Misa are introduced and Light meets his timely demise. L says that the ends justify the means; Light is just mean.

Who: L and Light
When: The Day After The Trial Results Are Announced
Where: Light's Room, Niflheim
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None yet.
Summary: L and Light meet after the Trial results are announced, to Light's chagrin and disappointment. L has to explain how he managed to fail foiling his team's efforts.

( But It Wasn't Because I Didn't Know Enough... I Just Knew Too Much... )

Who: Light and L
When: Bloody Hands Day
Where: Light's room (And maybe elsewhere)
Rating: PG-13, I think
Warnings: (shrug) You never know with Light and L.
Summary: In order to either prove L means what he says when he talks of having feelings for Light or to cause the detective to break, Light has chosen to have L meet with him in a period Light knows L doesn't want to be seen or even noticed.

( He stared at his hands again. The blood always seemed to run up his arms a lot. )

WHO: Walter and Light. WHERE: possibly Light's room. Not entirely sure where... WHEN: around noon, um... Last Tuesday? Before Valtiel has taken complete control of Walter. WHAT: Walter and Light meet again, and they talk. Everything else will be announced as it comes up. Summary will be put up when it progresses. ( I used to rule the world... Now I sweep the streets I used to own. )

Who: L and Light
Where: Niflheim; possibly Light's room.
When: The day after Fancy Dress Day
Rating: PG-13, gonna try to keep it there. xD
Warnings: Tension and Machiavellian angst. It is the facade of the century, and L will say things he doesn't mean in frighteningly convincing ways that may cause you to never believe a word he says ever again.
Summary: L, after contacting Light and claiming that he's realized the other man has been right all along, agrees to go to Niflheim to try and convince Light in person. Light, naturally, is skeptical of the sudden change of heart, and has a "test" of some sort planned to gauge L's loyalty. This is all part of L's master plan to kill Light (which is getting to the wire, now, and will happen after the new characters are introduced), so please remember what L is trying to. ENDS. JUSTIFY. MEANS.

( The mean of our heights is divided by the nights, which is times'd by the daggers and the route of all our fights... )

Who: Light, Sal (Open)
Where: Emptiness
When: Sometime after the Trial started and before it ends. Take your pick on a date.
Rating: Dunno..PG?
Warnings: He's getting his item..Unless language is involved, I dun think we really need to worry.

( Birds of a Feather... )

Who: L and Mello
Where: Emptiness
When: August 14, Shortly After the L/Light encounter.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Mentions of horrors past, and a bit of mind-manipulation and controlled violence
Summary: "The Rest of the Story" could have been a second title for this thread. It's finished before it's even begun, considering that the only characters involved both belong to this player. I felt that it was somewhat important to thread, though, in order to avoid future confusion. The following is what happened with Mello and L after Mello stumbled upon the scene in the L/Light thread. Mello tells a story to the highly suggestible L, revising his reality to prevent him from doing anything rash after he realizes what actually almost happened with Light. He also gets some useful information about L's cameras, which he'll later share with Kain.

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.]

( Sphinx isn't called Sphinx because she's a Sphinx! )

Who: Lucifer, Metatron, the trial representatives
Where: A mysterious location Metatron and Lucifer teleported everyone to.
When: The starting day of the trial.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Don't know.
Summary: The first part of the first trial begins, and everyone is brought to the ceremony.
It is assumed that Metatron and Lucifer take their representatives, with an explanation, to this mysterious location, at the start of the first day.

[ooc note: Because this thread is going to feature twelve characters, treat this thread the way the party in Asgard was treated - characters don't have to reply to each other and go in turns, but there should be some semblance of interaction, unless your character would just sit and wait to be called.]

( The Official Ceremony of the First Trial Begins! )

[ooc: The latin spoken by Metatron roughly translates to "God or Satan, fate will decide, allow the true leader to rise and become the first and last creator. Let no one be marred permanently, and no soul murdered." The latin spoken by Lucifer roughly translates to "God or Satan, chaos will choose, let Satan win and disorder be unleashed so that disease will spread and torment murder us all." Please forgive my rough, terrible Latin, but I tried. If there are any errors it's my fault, NOT Metatron's or Lucifer's.]

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... )

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

( This one time, there was this one guy who did this one thing...  )

(Permission from the mod has been given for being in three threads if you are involved in this one.)

Who: Sal, Blythe, Light, maybe Dante.
Where: Sal's secret place in Emptiness.
When: The day after Memory Theatre Day
Rating: PG-13 for now
Warnings: Unsure
Summary: Light goes to retrieve his victim, and Sal gets the information he wanted. The plan shall now be set in full motion.

( 'A pale princess of a palace cracked...' )

Who: Light and L
When: The day of Memory Theatre
Where: In the forest just outside Asgard.
Rating: PG-13, subject to change.
Summary: Light tries to escape Niflheim and get away for the day to avoid his memories being seen by any enemies. Too bad his worst enemy is nearby the area he ends up at.

( Enough people had brought up his past memories already. Enough was enough. )

Who: Dante and Light
When: Afternoon
Where: Dante's Room
Rating: PG-13 for Dante's pervy memories.
Warnings: Vague mentions of situations involving dubious consent
Summary: Dante has prepared a tonic for Light to use in his plans to go after Blythe to harm L.


( For this gift of dream I must pay the price with the loss of life's pleasures... )

Who: L and Light
When: Two days before the trial
What: L, somewhat reassured by the fact that a locater chip is embedded in his arm, agrees to meet Light in Emptiness. Light claims to have gained control of his murderous alter-ego, but L's reason for meeting with him has to do with what is being planned concerning Blythe.
Where: Starlight Cinema, Emptiness.
Rating: PG for now.
Summary: See "what".
Warning: Possible animosity?

( The reel seemed to be locked into an eternal loop )

Who: Allen Schreiber (Flauros) and Light Yagami
Where: Their room
When: Sometime today in the evening
What: Allen and Light decide to interact in their room. Let's see how will this turns out.
Warning: Rated R, because let's face it. Flauros has a very dirty mouth, and obscene thoughts.


( Aww, he's in love )

WHO: Light and Dante
WHERE: Dante's Room
WHEN: After Light gets back from meeting L.
RATING: PG
WARNINGS: I don't think there should be.
SUMMARY: Light goes to Dante's room to hopefully get his arm healed...and to discuss some very interesting things. (Spoils for Light's plot. Don't read if you don't want to be surprised, maybe)

( Dante..Dante, are you there? )

WHO: L and Light
WHERE: Emptiness, in a once thriving arcade.
WHEN: After L's second night with Blythe.
RATING: PG
WARNINGS: None, yet.
SUMMARY: Against his will (how many times have we heard THAT?), L meets with Light to prevent "Kira," his newly discovered alter ego, from finding and abducting Blythe.

Once, there might have been a reason to see Light, just for the hell of it. To reminisce, for old times' sake, or sit down and talk, man-to-man, about the world as only a pair of geniuses could relate to it. But now, there was no reason but the fact that L was being blackmailed, and that was a good reason to not be overjoyed at the prospect of seeing him.

It was all for Blythe... L reminded himself of this fact, fingering the gun in his pocket. All for her... Light would pay dearly someday, for manipulating him like this, but for now... all he could do was defend.

WHO: Una and Light [Kira]
WHERE: Niflheim's Kitchen
WHEN: After Kira has recovered and threatened L and Blythe over the journals.
RATING: PG-13 for now
WARNINGS: Language and Fighting
SUMMARY: Una hears from Blythe that her and L are being threatened by Kira. Of course, Una wishes to maintain her prey and therefore makes her way to find Light to give him a good....talking... to.

Who: L, Light, and Dante
Where: Niflheim, general vicinity
When: After Light dramatically attempts to end his own life in the presence of L and two kittens. Talk about tasteless!
Rating: PG-13, yo.
Warnings: I have no idea, as of yet.
Summary: L drags Light's temporally damaged ass back to Niflheim, leaving him in the protective clutches of Dante. Hopefully, he'll be well received for returning one of Niflheim's most controversial members... or, at least, hopefully the denizens of the Dark Mansion will be too effing surprised that L came back to the place after certain highly publicized events. Not to mention with the perpetrator of such events in tow.

Who: L and Light
Where: Emptiness- an abandoned, old American west style saloon. There are hitching posts out front, a mechanical piano inside that plays ragtime, a cabaret stage, poker tables, a bar, the works.
When: Day after Question Day
Rating: PG-13 at present; subject to change, though we have agreed that no FUBAR content will occur! Breathe a sigh of relief, ya'll. It should be as traumatizing as "Cat Ballou" and "Oklahoma" put together. But...
Warnings: ...someone gets shot in the head.
Summary: Disregarding Metatron's plea to postpone confrontations, L meets Light in Emptiness. What follows is a tense, charged affair that one of them might not walk away from. So, pard'ners, place your bets. Will L or Light win this one?

( It was completely silent, except for the scraping and scrabbling of rats behind the rickety old bar. No one had ordered firewater here in quite a long time, it seemed. )

Who: Light and Jazz (open possibly)
When: Bodyswitch Day
Where: Unsure yet, starts off with Light wandering the halls in Will's body looking for alcohol
Summary: With aquiring Will's body, Light also unwantingly aquires his drinking habits.
Rating: PG-13, to be safe.
Warnings: Light is extremely adorable when drunk. You have been warned.

( Damn this body and it's damn habits that would surely lead Light TO be damned! )

Who: Walter and Light
When: Forwarded to sometime after Light's torture.
Where: Light's Room.
Summary: Valtiel keeps repeating Walter's Dad's words in his head, and he seeks escape. He takes a wrong turn and meets Light Yagami, who has been tortured. Knowing what that feels like, Walter decides to hang around for a little while. He winds up staying the whole night, and catches a peculiar sight...
Rating: PG-13, to be safe. Dropped to PG.
Warnings: As always, the regular Walter!Rules apply, may be some descriptive violence and/or torture. Or things that'll make you tear up. Depending. (EDIT: Or describing torture, not actually torture. u_u;)

( I Feel Your Stress. (Who Has Time For Tears? )

Who: L and Light [finished]
Where: The forest, site of the bomb (or where it used to be)
When: The morning after the party
Rating: NC-17. :/
Warnings: L is dressed strangely, a la "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." And things are quickly getting stranger. Drug use and sexual content included. Not quite FUBAR, but you've been warned, OK!?
Summary: L and Light meet again... and their motives get even more confusing and strange.

( Don't Panic. )
