The Unpopcorning of Light Yagami. Open RP

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

Awareness was the first thing to come to Light, but it might as well not have because the only thing that came forth was nothingness. Am I dead?, crosses the mind briefly before descending back to nothing. It feels cramped in this space, but also as if it goes on forever. That doesn't make sense, but it is all there is to feel. Memories float back lazily like clouds, but of where Light Yagami is currently or what he did just before escapes him. The last thing he remembers is finding out that Yotsuba has been proffiting off of Kira's power. Then, hearing comes back with the sound of a great

POP!

Suddenly there is floor under him, and butter all over him. Light lifts his head and sight returns just before the smell and taste of butter overpowers everything momentarily. Once he get's over the fact that there is butter everywhere, Light takes a moment to check the rest of himself over. His hair is a mess, and he is wearing a green sweater with the Slytherin insignia on it that goes well with the green socks and black shoes on his feet, although the socks are covered by tan pants. On one wrist there is a waterproof (hopefully butter proof too) watch, the other has a handcuff locked on it. Light's eyes trail down the chain of the handcuffs, only to find that Ryuzaki is nowhere to be found.

"Is this another test, Ryuzaki?" Light wonders aloud as he stands up to see if the door of this room is locked. It wouldn't surprise him if this was a test, as Ryuzaki already seems to be off his rocker about certain things, but it also would be unsurprising if this wasn't L's doing. Wouldn't he be covered in something sweeter than butter if this was L's idea? Then again if not L then...?

The door is unlocked, so Light wanders into the hallway in search of a washroom or Ryuzaki, whichever is found first. The chain drags along the floor behind him, but his buttery footprints already cover the castle floor so Light doesn't bother to pick it up as he goes in a random direction.

Yep, Yuuri does all those things. Oh, and he's also a demon king, but he doesn't really tend to bring that up in conversation unless it seems relevant. Unlike all the other random stuff he discusses with little regard to relevance.

"It doesn't bother you to be all buttery, huh? Hey, you know what you ought to do? Go sunbathe!"

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"I'm not a sunbatheing type of person. The butter is uncomfortable, but there could be worse things to be covered in."

Dripping hot sause plus eyeballs equals owwww, after all.

[bowchickamaou.livejournal.com]

"Oh well. If you did like sunbathing, then being all covered in butter would be a good thing. You could get a good tan!"

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

(Actually it would probably be a one-way ticket to carcinoma. Try telling that to the irrepressible Maou, though.)

"Are you more of an indoors kind of person?"

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but there is nothing wrong with going outside."

Light ignores the sunbathing comment.

[bowchickamaou.livejournal.com]

"Going outside is good for you." Yuuri is happy they can agree on this. "Sunlight contains vitamin D." His mother has told him this. "So, what all do you remember about Hogwarts?"

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"Nothing about Hogwarts is familar to me."

Yuuri is starting to remind Light of Matsuda with the obvoious things he keeps pointing out, but Yuuri is also a lot younger than Matsuda so it is acceptable.

[bowchickamaou.livejournal.com]

"That happens sometimes to people who've been popcorned. They can't remember anything that happened before."

The whole pointing-out-obvious-things habit can work pretty well for orienting new people (not that Yuuri plans it this way).

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"I can remember what was going on in my life before Hogwarts, but my previous stay here is something I cannot recall."

Being pointed out the obvious is more relaxing than a verbal battle.

[bowchickamaou.livejournal.com]

"Then the first thing you should do is find out what House you've been sorted into. That way you'll know what dorm you ought to be living in," Yuuri told him. "Who knows, maybe some of your old stuff will even be there. Sometimes that happens, sometimes not."

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"I'm wearing a sweater I do not remember owning, and it says Slytherin on it. Does that tell me anything about where I am suppose to stay?" Light hopes so, because that would make things much easier if he knew where he could sleep.

[bowchickamaou.livejournal.com]

"Hmm ... It could mean you're a Slytherin, or it could mean one of your best friends is a Slytherin and you borrowed his sweater."

Helpful Yuuri is helpful.

"Either way, you probably ought to go to Slytherin. If you borrowed the sweater from someone, that person will recognize you."

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"I see. So, Slytherin is a House here. Just how many Houses are there, and is there any significance to which one you are sorted into?"

These things are good to know if he ever needs to find someone.

[bowchickamaou.livejournal.com]

"Yep. There are eight Houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Tootsitramp, Sparklypoo, Qanonreip, Bitchiwitch." He's not quite sure he's got them in order. There ought to be a mnemonic device for them, like the planets of the solar system. He is satisfied he's remembered them all, though. Take that, Bandit Lou (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/954061.html)! "In the history of Hogwarts, there were only four houses, and the house you belonged to reflected something about your personality. Nowadays things are different. The house you belong to is a factor of what cheese you like and what you would name a bar if you owned one."

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"So there are no simular qualities between house mates besides their taste in cheese and places to aquire liquor?" that is slightly dissapointing to hear.

[bowchickamaou.livejournal.com]

Gulp. Wolfram is going to yowl if he hears that Yuuri has claimed there's no real difference between the houses. That will be taken as a slight against the glory of Hufflepuff.

"Every house is bound by bonds of friendship," Yuuri decides to say, diplomatic to the end.

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"By bonds of friendship?" Light repeats. "What if you didn't have any friends, would it then have to wait until you aquire a friendship bond before you are sorted?"

Making allies is something Light is good at, but real friends are hard to come by.

[bowchickamaou.livejournal.com]

"No, the people in your House are people the Sorting Hat thinks would make good friends for you to be around."

Obviously, Yuuri's interpretation of the Sorting Hat's MO was extremely, extremely optimistic and charitable.

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

Light doubts that is the case, but has nothing to prove it either way, so he lets it be.

"Have you made good friends with many in your house then?"

[bowchickamaou.livejournal.com]

"Oh, sure. Well, I have friends in all kinds of houses actually." There's an old saying to the effect that a stranger is just a friend you haven't met. For Yuuri that saying is true. "It just makes sense that people spend more time in their own house's common room, so they get to know people in their own house a little better. It's so you'll have a place you feel you belong, and won't get homesick."

Yuuri is improvising this answer as he goes along, but it makes perfect sense to him.

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"Not everyone gets homesick," but the rest of what Yuuri said does make sense. Even if Light doesn't see himself going out of his way for compainions, he'll still talk to the people he meets.

[effing-eff.livejournal.com]

Speaking of homesickness, Evan was dashing through the halls, convinced that he had been transported there by David Blaine (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/1518693.html#cutid1). He stopped when he saw two boys, who looked relatively harmless (and cute in a Teen Beat way, but Oh. Em. Gee. he was not, like, a complete perv, alright?)

"Demons!" Evan squawked as he jumped up to the two younger students. "This school is filled with demons!" Nice to meet you, too.

[bowchickamaou.livejournal.com]

Whoa! "How did you know?" Yuuri yelped. "Are you from one of the countries neighboring Shin Makoku? Most people here can't even tell I'm half-demon!"

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

Demons, huh. Well if Shinigami, the Death Note, and this school of magic are real. Then demons aren't much of a surprise after all. Yuuri being half-demon on the other hand, doesn't sit right with demon myths of them being terrible creatures, when Yuuri seems so kind and optimistic.

"Demons?" he asks anyway.

[effing-eff.livejournal.com]

Evan jumped and moved away from Yuuri to put Light between the demon (DEMON!) and himself. "What!? How can anyone be half-demon!? Did you have a demon mommy and were you hatched from an egg that BIT people!? Hungry people? Well, don't you DARE try any of that with me, you DEMON. Even if you have, like, demon magic mixed with demon kung-fu, which you might!"

He threateningly hissed over Light's shoulder, "I'll cut you!" He then made the sign of cutting scissors with his fingers.

He then turned to look at Light, and said with offense, "And I don't even know you!"

[bowchickamaou.livejournal.com]

"My mother is human!" Yuuri retorted, the imperative to defend his mother now overriding his general tendency toward diplomacy. "She doesn't lay eggs! What do you think I am, a baby dragon?! Not that there is anything wrong with baby dragons," he added automatically. "They should be conserved and protected."

As a matter of fact, Yuuri did have demon magic mixed with demon kung-fu, kinda sorta, but the kung-fu was generally enacted by giant golems he made of garbage or other random items, and the magic was ... not something anyone really wanted to see, unless they didn't mind their local ecosystem being destroyed. However, it only surfaced in response to EXTREME ACTS OF INJUSTICE (like piracy, or people being mean to bearbees).

"You don't need to cut anyone. No one is going to hurt you," he informed Evan. Yuuri's outbursts of indignation didn't last very long, especially when the target seemed to be in distress himself. Evan definitely seemed like he was afraid or worried about something. "This is Light Yagami. Light, were you hatched from an egg? There's nothing wrong with being hatched from an egg. I just happen not to have been. Also, Evan, I should probably tell you that if my mother ever does show up at Hogwarts and you say something like that to her, she might kick you in the, um, somewhere a guy doesn't like being kicked."
