The Ultimate Chessboard: Chaos Unraveled

Who: Emerald and Mello
When: Evening that L leaves Asgard
Where: Mello's room
Rating: R
Warnings: Language / will be added to as thread continues
Summary: Emerald's "hit list" consists of Maria, Tohru, and Mello. She has long-term plans for the girls on her list, but Niflheim's resident perv is easy pickings. The assassin plans to intoxicate Mello and get him to tell her all about his friendship with L.

Who: Lucifer and Mello
When: Not too long after the trial results are announced.
Where: Mello and Una's room in Niflheim
Rating: R (I'm pretty sure it's going to hit this, folks)
Warnings: Language, violence, blood, and Mello getting "interrupted" in his bedroom.
Summary: Lucifer wants to make examples out of the two in particular who failed the trials. Without examples, he thinks that Niflheimers are going to become lax and think there are no consequences to sucking ass (as Lucifer might put it.) He doesn't care what their opinion about it is. The first one on his list is Mello, who is suddenly interrupted from some special time with dirty magazines when he suddenly loses his bedroom door.

( The reality is i'm getting away with murder! )

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...  )

Who: Banru and Mello
Where: Emptiness, in front of a book store.
When: The afternoon after the two arrive.
Rating: Well, Mello's involved, so let's go PG-13 just to be safe.
Warnings: Mello! That's warning enough.
Summary: Deciding to do a little exploring, Banru wanders off into Emptiness on his own, only to stumble upon Mello.

( This probably wasn't what he wanted to run into. )

Who: Mello and Una (pardon the account)
Where: The room the two renegades share
When: Day of or after the newcomers appear?
Rating: PG-13 for now, but don't be surprised if it sashays over into R territory. ^^
Warnings: teh sexiness!
Summary: The two shameless individuals are a match made in... er, Hell. Roommates, friends with benefits, and maybe someday more, Mello and Una get thoroughly acquainted. Thoroughly. And like Mello, this summary is about as "subtle" as a searing hot branding iron to the crotch. ^^

( Share and share alike, O My Brothers... )
