[Application] Beyond Birthday, Death Note: Another Note

[red-eyed-l.livejournal.com]

[[Permission granted by the other Death Note players. Beyond also has shinigami eyes, so heads up there. And yes, he does look like a red eyed L.]]

When B-also known as Beyond Birthday-felt the pain in his chest, he wasn't stupid, he knew what was happening. Stories about Kira punishing criminals had been spreading throughout the prison, and some have already succumbed. Beyond clearly was the next victim.

Imagine his surprise when he woke up in a castle. Imagine his further surprise when he found himself as he was before he tried to burn himself.

If there was a better time for him to use his evil laugh, he didn't know when it was.

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?

"I would say cream cheese, for it goes into cheesecake."

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?

Oh, now Beyond was liking this application.

"That IS a good question. Killing Barney would fit me, but since Barney is just a man in a costume, I wouldn't actually be killing Barney, per se. On the other hand, killing Carrottop would actually do a lot of people good. But in the end, I don't think it matters who I kill, as long as I hide my role in it well."

3. What time is it where you are?

"I do not know."

What more did Beyond have to say?

4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.

"Now, why would I want to be someone else returned from the dead when I've just returned from death myself? And why would I bother harassing someone?"

5. If you are pushing to be in:

A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.

Here Beyond grinned.

"Lawliet. The one that know what I'm talking about knows why I named it that."

B. Gryffindor – Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.

"What would I care? All three of them aren't immortal, they'll die in time anyway."

C. Ravenclaw – You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.

"You're supposed to be a copy of the greatest detective in the world. Too bad you die soon after anyway."

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.

Most people would try to hide their crimes. Beyond didn't see the point, he got caught and he's dead anyway.

"You remember the L.A.B.B. case? I did that. It would have been the perfect crime, too, if that Misora hadn't been smarter than I took her for."

6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe. Do not threaten us rather than offering a bribe. A threat indicates you either don't really want to be here, or don't have enough sense to answer the question properly. The hat will automatically squib you, regardless of other votes, if you do.

Beyond blinked, and rifled through his pockets. He exclaimed in delight as he found a jar of strawberry jam.

"I'm willing to share some of my jam."

"I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. BB
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. BB
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch.BB
One day, marmalade will rule the world. BB"

"Well, if it isn't the broken backup. Do us all a favor and go die in a fire."

Beyond knew that there were others, that came in line after him. Given that he called him a backup, he was probably one of them.

He did NOT like being referred to as the 'backup' though.

"I would have, Nate River, if that woman hadn't interfered. I would have stumped your little idol, as well."

Although he snarled internally, Near's expression remained untroubled. "By immolating yourself? Hardly a success story."

Re: Spoilers

[red-eyed-l.livejournal.com]

"By immolating myself to the point of unrecognition! How nice it would have been to create the perfect crime, one not even your precious L could solve."

Re: Spoilers

[cardarchitect.livejournal.com]

"But he did, didn't he?" He smiled. "L picked the right person to trip you up."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

Oh, now here were some answers Nny could get behind! And the B.B. murders... that sounded familiar...

"Weren't those the murders with the dolls nailed to the walls?"

He approved of things nailed to walls.

[red-eyed-l.livejournal.com]

"Yes, the Wara Ningyo murders. Helpful things, those were."

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

"Helpful how?" That was worrisome. Was this applicant plagued by those things as well, mocking him and urging him on? If so, he might be a threat; in particular, a threat to Devi.

[red-eyed-l.livejournal.com]

"How else could I lock a door from the outside?" Beyond said as if it were a perfectly normal thing to think about.

[waste-lock.livejournal.com]

That was something the Doughboys had never done. At least, not while nailed to a wall.

But he'd said I... some sort of device, then? Nny had certainly employed enough clever devices, although his were all intended to rend, crush, and tear.

"I've never bothered locking doors. Nothing left to be kept out once I've left, after all." He grinned then, a somewhat territorial predatory expression.

[hcolleen.livejournal.com]

I'd heard rumors he'd be here. Not just any he, but him. As L was Near's idol, B was mine. To see him, now... We'd never really seen L, but I knew from my research B mimicked L...if only slightly off. His hunching walk, his wild hair...this was my idol? Well, it is not appearances. I watch him, waiting. What will happen? Is there anything for me to really say to him?

I know his whole story, all of it. I wrote it, after all. So, for now, I'll just watch him while eating a chocolate bar, see what he does.

[red-eyed-l.livejournal.com]

Beyond noticed the kid watching him. Ah, he had the same eyes! The eyes that Nate had, the ones that L had. His eyes were better, of course, but still.

Those eyes watching him!

Beyond walked up and took a good look at Mello, getting very close to him.

[hcolleen.livejournal.com]

I watch him, waiting for something. It's more as if I'm being inspected by a human ape than anything. I don't turn to follow him, just watch him as he moves around me.

But then, he's too close to me.

"What?" I ask sharply.

[red-eyed-l.livejournal.com]

"Where did you get those nice eyes, Mihail?"

No, Beyond was not coming onto Mello. Maybe.

[sada-chan.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I could just pinch your little cheeks."

[red-eyed-l.livejournal.com]

Beyond tilted his head. "Why would you do that? My cheeks are not soft and chubby like a baby's. It would be easier to pinch their cheeks than mine."

[sada-chan.livejournal.com]

"Oh, but you are a baby. A cute little baby with tiny sharp teeth."

[red-eyed-l.livejournal.com]

"I am far too old to be a baby. Also, the term 'baby' implies that it is lacking in verbal and physical skills, which I do not lack."

[gamerspy.livejournal.com]

Matt had never met L, of course. And he hadn't read Mello's notes on the L.A.B.B. murders. So all he knew was that there was a sort of creepy-looking guy with bad posture standing in front of him.

Huh.

Still, the answer to question 5c was a little... disconcerting.

"The greatest detective in the world? Who - Batman? Was that supposed to be some kind of crack about the second Robin, because if so, I don't get it."

[red-eyed-l.livejournal.com]

"No, silly. L. The poor fool who came before me couldn't handle being the next L."

[ugly-old-hat.livejournal.com]

"Barney is not just a man in a costume! You take that back! BARNEY IS A PURPLE DINOSAUR!"

The Hat was adamant about this. It had met Barney!

[red-eyed-l.livejournal.com]

"Really? My mistake then. But my answer still stands."

[ugly-old-hat.livejournal.com]

"That's right, it IS your mistake! At least you have the sense to realize that! Now, tell me, how are you going to deal with the fact no one can kill or be killed here? Since you're clearly a raging psycho nutcase!"

Not that that had disqualified previous psycho nutcase applicants. The Hat just wanted to make sure Beyond Birthday knew what he was getting into!

[red-eyed-l.livejournal.com]

"But I am correct to suggest that that rule does not extend beyond Hogwarts?"

Bitchiwitch!

[ugly-old-hat.livejournal.com]

Your bribe has been accepted!
