Anything goes when you're a Star

This is a selective RP blog for the character Yagami Light from Death Note. Please read the rules if you are interested in RP with me. The icons I use were either made by myself (anime icons) or by teruzuki who very kindly put in the time and effort to...

// ...I think my dash has died, good lord. There’s still a reasonably active RP community out there right.....

L sets the phone down carefully. The timing is far too convenient, making it clearer than he would’ve liked that the call was indeed nothing more than a means of chipping away at the remnants of Light Yagami. 

“Asahi Tsuki is one of my best representatives, you know.” He offers casually, keeping a neutral, unaffected tone. “He consults with Yagami-San on a regular basis.” 

The sword of truth cuts far deeper than any knife wielded by liars. Mention of Light’s father is but the first of many jabs L intends to make. Letting the information sink in a little alongside the beginnings of darker implications, yes I’m still in touch with your father - he’s just a call away, L turns his attention to the slip of paper. 

Whilst there’s another with Kira’s power out there, the reality is that they’re not a patch on the original. The challenge is mundane and predictable in comparison. In fact, it had seemed so bitterly disappointing at first that L had almost turned the case down. 

“As you can see, this individual has not wasted any time in making themselves known.” pause. “They are volatile, and prepared to use the power of Kira on whomever they decide gets in their way.” 

If L holds the bait out close enough, with the right components involved, co-operation in this could be straightforward. Could. Yes. It’s entirely possible he could lure Kira into his palms, pluck away what he needs, and then toss him back into solitude - not before clenching his fist and wringing out the final shreds of pride.

“They are not entirely different to you.” 

But L realises as he meets those eyes again - he doesn’t want this to be completely easy. It’s all been so easy lately. And Light Yagami is at the crux of everything interesting about Kira. Without him partaking in the game, it’s meaningless. 

“They key difference is, they pose far more of a threat.” 

[arahitogami-blog1]

L’s nonchalance comes down harder than a set of brass knuckles to the gut. . It’s been months since Light has heard from any of his family members and for all the times he’s felt so much as a pang in his chest from wanting so badly to speak to them just once, he has insisted to himself that he doesn’t need to or even want to see them. The lies don’t work though, and behind closed eyelids he has phantom conversations about all the things they used to talk about and all the questions that will never be answered. 

His eyes narrow with outrage and he instantly rises to his feet, hand clenched. “You wouldn’t dare. Not with him.” He hisses through grit teeth. It’s one thing to use Asahi Tsuki as an alias to taunt him with, but what’s the point of gloating at dad?

No, L’s lying again. You have to think about rationally, Yagami. He’s trying to get inside your head and you’re basically welcoming him in with open arms reacting like this. The fact that he’s going for cheap shots only proves that he came here to make an ass out of himself. 

Heart hammering, Light forces himself to breathe in deeply and open his closed fists. This is harder than he remembers it being. I’m out of practice, he realizes with a sense of private despair. But I’m not letting you leave feeling like you’ve won, damn you. 

“Even for you, that would be low,” he says more coolly. “And you’ve yet to prove that this document isn’t something you’ve fabricated.”

yagami-raito-kun replied to your post: // So tumblr hates me intensely and in the process...

//I didn’t. :( No chance you can contact Tumblr for help?

// I contacted them, but I’m pretty sure they’re not going to help with any data recovery as it said they wouldn’t do so in their support FAQ. The most I can do is like.. ask the fandom and try get the word out there that I’m looking for this stuff.... which is hard as obviously the blog I would ask people about this on is the one that got deleted. /headdesk

// So tumblr hates me intensely and in the process of trying to delete a sideblog from my main blog @casuistor that whole account got sakujo’d. It’s kind of a long shot, I know, but I’m wondering if anyone saved any text posts I’d written somewhere because I’d like to be able to rebuild the archive of the more interesting posts I’d written previously that are now just gone because I did not get a chance to archive the whole thing myself before this happened. 

I’d really appreciate the help, thank you!

   “Of course. If I didn’t have reason to be, you would not have chosen me.”

A pause. “It wasn’t a comment made to question the validity of your sentiments, Teru. I trust you; of course there’s a reason for that.”

[lawfulorder]

    “I like both as well, so I don’t doubt I’ll manage to please you.”

[arahitogami-blog1]

“You’re confident.”

[lawfulorder]

   “If I didn’t think it was sufficient, I’d have changed it long ago. Which isn’t to say I would mind offering more praise if you desired.”

[arahitogami-blog1]

“Ah... you make it sound like I’m after aggrandizement now. I am quite fond of hearing you call me by name as well, you know.”

[lawfulorder]

 “You haven’t quite answered my previous question yet. Do I tell you enough?”

[arahitogami-blog1]

“I assumed that was a rhetorical question. What’s your self assessment on that one?”

[lawfulorder]

    “Touché. Your cause doesn’t need mindless obedience, because anybody with a sane mind of their own will follow you willingly. Mindlessness is a weak tool to suppress subjects when you have no compelling leadership to offer.”

[arahitogami-blog1]

“Naturally.”

[lawfulorder]

There is a short pausell.

   “And pointing out your transgression would not have been disobedience…?”

[arahitogami-blog1]

“An interesting line of thought,” Light states with faint amusement. “But if I were the kind of person who wanted nothing but mindless obedience from you, would you still be following me?” 

[lawfulorder]

    “It is. You know this as well as I do and you know as well as I do that you weren’t obeying the rules to this game. Things we understand without words don’t need to be stated” - unless there is some pleasurable reassurance to it like saying ‘God’ on endless repeat - “and this efficiency is also important to me.”

[arahitogami-blog1]

“Pragmatism rules the day, I see.” A beat. “Though one wonders if it can even be considered ‘pragmatic’ to contradict a god this way...”

[lawfulorder]

                                     @arahitogami (cont. from here)

     “Whether or not you were anonymous, the outcome would have been the same. I am not prone to dishonesty towards you. 

     So why bother state something so inconsequential?”

[arahitogami-blog1]

“Rhetorical consistency.” Obviously.  In a more playful tone, he continues. “Isn’t that important to you or have I fundamentally misunderstood you?”

Send me a 💔 for my muse to break your muse's heart

イケメンの デビュー [AU]

[lawfulorder]

Teru doesn’t think lemons are unbearably sour at all, but it’s a topic he will gladly not debate now or ever again. This much time should just never be wasted debating food intake. He feels like he’ll just stop enjoying it over this and that’s not a victory he necessarily wants to give Light.

“It’s a faulty and self-centered way of figuring, but she’s unfortunately drawing the right conclusions nevertheless.” He sighs. Takada’s company is enjoyable to him, but the fact that she had to ask both of them out individually was a thorn in the side of their friendship at times. “I trust she’s more mature than to do anything with this suspicion.” They sure weren’t going to confirm.

[arahitogami-blog1]

Resting his head back against Teru’s shoulder to settle even more comfortably, Light lets out an mmm noise of contemplation. 

“Takada is, if nothing else, a woman who considers herself above childishness. I trust her to not to start useless rumors at any rate.” A beat. “There’s probably more to it than that. We’ve all been friends since the beginning of university and she’s never seen either of us date or show much interest in dating generally.” Which definitely looks strange given my popularity with our peers overall. 

Swallowing down yet another sigh, he continues. “Not that that’s reasonable grounds for suspicion either.” More nonchalantly:

“Too bad there isn’t a diplomatic way of saying ‘Sorry, I only date interesting people’ for explanation, huh.”

Am I God?

For the next hour my muse cannot lie and is insanely blunt to any questions they get on anon

    “Without a doubt. You shouldn’t need to ask - or do I not tell you enough yet… God?”  His expression clearly says ‘I can fix that’.

[arahitogami-blog1]

“I’m faintly surprised that you haven’t pointed out that I’ve technically violated the terms of this ridiculous internet meme.” A beat. “Can’t say that I’m finding any fault with your priorities however....”

For the next hour my muse cannot lie and is insanely blunt to any questions they get on anon
