And the truth shall be used against you in every way possible ((closed RP, Mello, Matt, A))

[mello-n-choco.livejournal.com]

So, Matt and L...ouch, the thought alone hurts. But, Matt seems happy with L...or maybe I'm reading way too much into what I saw in the bar. Between finding out Near is indeed ticklish and practicing, though, I haven't had a chance to really find him and ask him. And, asking in the bar would have been...well, even I'm not that direct.

And, since I still want to be able to talk to him, I'm not sending him an owl.

So, I've been tracking him down. I start at the library, then the Great Hall, then his room. Why I didn't try here first, I don't know. It would have saved me time. I don't hear sounds of gaming as I knock, but there are some sounds behind the door.

I sit up. "En suite? You think if we had an en suite you would have run into us in the hall? Bastard!" I grab a pillow and throw it at him.

Matt dodges the pillow (well, it hits his shoulder rather than his head, at least). He'd forgotten about running into Mello and Near.

"Should've put more thought into your room choice," he says, summoning a smirk.

[mello-n-choco.livejournal.com]

"Near liked the window seat," I grumble.

"So, yeah, a little surveillance in the showers, but make it look like some otaku did it, y'know, amateurish. I know it'll be painful for a pro like you, but it'll hide us for a bit."

[gamerspy.livejournal.com]

"... you want me to put cameras in the showers?"

[mello-n-choco.livejournal.com]

"And make it look amateurish, yes. And, then circulate pictures 'accidentally' through the school." I nod. "Start in that otaku girl's dorm. That'd be the most logical place. And then ours." Not that I'm really in Ravenclaw, but I live here.

"So we won't be starting rumours about naked pictures. We will actually be taking actual naked pictures. And giving them to Konata."

[mello-n-choco.livejournal.com]

I glare at him. "Near and L won't investigate rumors of pictures. And, I never said give them to her. I said make it look like she'd taken them."

[gamerspy.livejournal.com]

"You said put them into her dorm," Matt points out.

[mello-n-choco.livejournal.com]

"I said dorm not room, Matt." I sigh. "Dude, this is your game, you know how to do it. Start using that brain that made you third and don't be such a slacker whore."

[gamerspy.livejournal.com]

"I'm good at being a slacker." He ignores the 'whore' part. "But - fine. Just think about how tricky it's going to be to sneak cameras into a shower. While naked. Okay?"

[mello-n-choco.livejournal.com]

I blink, trying not to laugh. "I'm sure you'll think of something. There are towels. And, if you're walking down the hall to the showers naked, then there would be no need for cameras, would there?"

[gamerspy.livejournal.com]

Matt picks up the pillow Mello threw at him earlier and tosses it at him. "I'll get changed once I'm in the shower room, thanks."

[mello-n-choco.livejournal.com]

I catch the pillow. "Well, you gotta carry stuff to the shower, then. Don't be such an idiot. You were trained better than this!"

[gamerspy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well, let me get some complaining in. I already said I'll do it."

As potentially embarrasing as it is.

[mello-n-choco.livejournal.com]

Feeling benevolent, I wave my hand. "Complain away, then." I flop back on the bed. Once he's got it out of his system, it'll be over and done with. Doesn't mean I really have to listen.

[gamerspy.livejournal.com]

"Already have been." It's not as fun to complain once you've been invited to.

"We're not targeting people specifically, are we? I'm not going to monitor the cameras waiting for Near or Ryuuzaki."

[mello-n-choco.livejournal.com]

I wave my hand. "If we target them, we look suspicious. Unless you think that otaku girl would target them." I lift my head. "Are you wanting to monitor or set up motion activated cameras?"

[gamerspy.livejournal.com]

"Motion activated, I hope. I need to get my hands on some equipment. And it needs to be the kind that they'd feasibly be able to get a hold of."

[mello-n-choco.livejournal.com]

I reach over and throw a pillow at him. "Well, get to it. I've got things to do." Now that his brain is working, I don't need to hear him think. "I'm gonna get a shower before you bug 'em."

[gamerspy.livejournal.com]

"Yes, sir," Matt replies sardonically. He doesn't bother dodging the pillow this time. "It might take a couple of days. I'll see you about."

And then he leaves.
