Goddess of the New World
Written by: solarlunarxiii
Cast: Misa, Light, Ryuk, Rem
Setting: Misa & Light role reversal AU
(sound of notebook scratching, TV muffle, and a very persistent annoying doorbell)
MISA: (mocking) Iâm busy.
(doorbell)
MISA: (mocking) Go away.
(doorbell)
MISA: Are you serious right now? Itâs like 10 oâclock what do you even want?
(doorbell)
MISA: UGH!! I donât have time for this. Rem, will you just go get the door?
REM: And make the door open on its own?
MISA: (slams hand on the table) Fine, this better be good. (stomps down the stairs)(muttering under breath) Stupid doorbell, stupid dumb people, this better not be another fan or Iâll write their name in my notebook so fast⊠(opens the door) âŠWho are you?
LIGHT: (pause) H-HiâŠMisa Amane?
MISA: Yeah, what? Why are you here so lateâwait, donât even tell me, are youâŠ?
LIGHT: (excited) Yes! Here, let me show you my notebook so you can see my Shinigamiâ
MISA: Would you keep it down!? Yeah, announce Iâm Kira to the entire neighborhood, please. Just come inside.
LIGHT: Y-Yes, maâam.
MISA: Donât call me maâam. And remember to take off your shoes. (door closes)
LIGHT: Let me introduce you to Ryuk. Touch this (that notebook-touching-sound-thing)
MISA: Oh. Impressive. Another Shinigami. Â
RYUK: Hey.
MISA: You seem a lot different than Rem. Youâre probably friendlier to talk to, at least. This one is a real stick in the mud.
RYUK: You and me both.
MISA: Alright come on up. Watch your step please, my cat likes to hug legs.
(door opens, door closes)
MISA: So. Youâre the second Kira. How exactly did you find me? Wait, donât bother, you have the eyes, donât you?
LIGHT: Y-Yeah⊠You arenât mad, are you?
MISA: (angrily) How can I not be mad? You impersonated me and gave away the existence of the eyes. What were you thinking?
LIGHT: I just wanted to meet you. Kira helped me through a really stressful time in my life, and⊠I wanted to return the favor.
MISA: Return the favor? You made everything worse! I had a plan and now L is watching me closer than ever. I donât think you even know how much of a risk it is for you to be here.
LIGHT: You and L have made contact? Wow, thatâs amazing.
MISA: Yeah yeah, whatever. (frustrated) You know all this stress is really weighing in on my beauty sleepâŠoh god Iâve probably aged three years because of you. Rem, do I look old and wrinkly?
LIGHT: I-If it makes you feel any better, you can have my notebook. Please, just take it.
MISA: I think I will.
LIGHT: Ow!
MISA: (mocking baby tone) Oh sorry, did I swipe the notebook away too hard? Do you need a band-aid?
LIGHT: (sad) No, Iâm fineâŠ
MISA: Good. You can go now. Oh, and since I own your notebook now, you might as well relinquish ownership and forget about it. I donât need you anymore. Toodles.
LIGHT: (beat) Thatâs it?
MISA: Yup, thatâs it.
LIGHT: (beat) But I have the eyes! I can kill L for you!
MISA: And risk you coming in contact with L? You must be joking. Youâve done enough damage, kid. You want to help Kira? Go join all those other idiots online and send me criminal names, god knows I donât get enough of those kidsâ annoying emails.
LIGHT: No, Iâm not leaving! I came here to help Kira, and Iâm going to do it. From this point forward, I will be your faithful servant. Please, tell me what to do. Let me help you. Thatâs all I want.
MISA: Why are you so obsessed over me? Look, I get liking Kira and all, millions of people do, but why go through all this? You know your lifespan has been halved now, you canât take that back.
LIGHT: Yeah, but I donât care. I did it for you.
MISA: Ok this is getting creepy.
LIGHT: Sorry, thatâs not what I meant. I had a feeling you didnât have the eyes so I decided to help you out and try to help you out any way I could.
MISA: But the tapes? Seriously? That was really necessary?
LIGHT: How else was I going to meet you?
MISA: Sheesh, I donât know, walk outside? You have the Shinigami Eyes and Iâm on the cover of magazines.
LIGHT: IâŠI donât really pay attention to that, stuffâŠI guessâŠ
MISA: (loudly) YOU WHAT?! (takes a few deep breaths)(calmly, to herself) Calm yourself, Misaâwrinkles, remember the wrinklesâŠ
REM: I truly donât understand humansâ obsession with vanity.
LIGHT: I didnât want to make this harder on you. Thatâs the last thing I want. Look, Iâm at the top of my class and I have a bright future ahead of me at university and who knows what else. Nobody will suspect me of being the second Kira, Iâm just tooâ
MISA: Ok Iâm going to stop you right there. Your ignorance? Thatâs exactly whatâs going to get you caught. See, when youâre famous, you donât have time to feel like youâll never get caught, so I had to do everything I could so I wouldnât get caught. I had to work for everything I have and what did you do? Youâre just some privileged boy who thinks you have everything all set up and I got news for you: You. Are. BLIND. Why do you think I became Kira in the first place?
LIGHT: But I feel exactly the same way!
MISA: Oh, please.
LIGHT: Itâs true! A couple months agoâŠI didnât know what I was going to do. I felt lost. I hated this stupid world. It was rotten, it was boring, I didnât feel like anything I would accomplish would mean anything. But then Kira came alongâand it was like a second chance. I could see you were building a world where evil people would suffer, and I was going to do whatever I could to help you along the way, even if I didnât know your name.
MISA: Well, thatâs very admirable of you. But the fact is I just donât need you. Sorry. Iâm already very well off as it is.
LIGHT: Please, anything! Let me help you, Misa. Iâll do anything. Anything!!
MISA: (scoff) Fine! (page rip) I donât need you right now, but who knows what things will be like in a few months or so. Maybe a time will come when I do need someone else to do the job. So why donât you just write your name and number down here and Iâll let you know when I need you. Okay?
LIGHT: (enthusiastic) Yes, yes, thatâs absolutely fine! (pen scribbling) Thank you, I promise I wonât let you down.
MISA: Can I see that? Ahh, great. So just make sure your phone is turned on!
LIGHT: Thank you Misa. Words really canât describe how happy I am that I can be of some service to you.
MISA: (dismissive) Uh-huh.
LIGHT: Seriously, itâs such an honor to even be able to meet you.
MISA: No problem.
LIGHT: Iâm so excited to be working with you. I know that together you and I will build a better world, where good people and family can bâwhat thâugh...ack! (coughs, chokes, dies).
RYUK: HolyâIâwhat theâ?!
MISA: God I thought heâd never shut up. I canât believe he fell for that. Though I probably shouldnât have had him kill himself in the middle of my bedroom. HmmâŠRem?
REM: Yes?
MISA: Take care of him, will you? Go dump him in the ocean or something.
REM: You realize it will look like a corpse is flying through the sky.
MISA: Ugh, are you stupid? Just be discrete, Rem. Do I have to do everything?
REM: Very well. But you know this is going to come back to you at some point. (wings take off)
MISA: Yeah, yeah, I get it. Iâll deal with it. Now, Ryuk, I hope youâre not mad at me, are you?
RYUK: UhâŠI guess not.
MISA: Then can I keep your Death Note?
RYUK: Well, thing is itâs not really mine, Iâ
MISA: Great! Ok, you can go now.
RYUK: Whatever you say. (under breath) This girl is nutsâŠ
MISA: What was that?
RYUK: Nothing! Iâm leaving. (wings take off)
MISA: (satisfied exhale) Looks like Misa wins again. Funny, I wonder what wouldâve happened if an idiot like that guy was Kira. I doubt heâd do as good of a job as I could.
