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.

Kusuriyuri seemed to have taken a wrong turn again. His geta clacked softly on the stone floor and his case jingled softly behind him. Perhaps he should have sought out A before trying to find the dojo again. As it happened, he smelt something strange as he turned the corner to see a rather disoriented boy covered in something yellow. "Are you okay?" he asked softly, trying not to spook him any further.

"Aside from needing to clean off this butter, my condition is fine considering that I woke up today not knowing where I was," his mental state isn't any better since then, but physically Light is okay.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"Ah, is that so?" he said softly, filing away the information that the oddly scented yellow stuff was butter. He frowned slightly before continuing, "Unfortunately, I am lost at the moment. However, there was a bathroom just back a little ways. Perhaps you can clean off there? And then some tea?" The boy looked as though he could use something calming, chamomile perhaps.

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"Tea would be nice," he agrees. "If I knew this place better I would have offered to help you around, but as it is I know nothing of the layout."

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"Well, then, we shall be lost together. The bathroom is this way, please," he says, turning to walk back the way he'd come.

Three turns and he found it once more. "Here." He gestures to the door. "I shall wait here. Perhaps I will find my bearings again."

Before going into the bathroom Light gives a poliet "Thank you" to the stranger.

His clothes do not seem like they can be washed, but if Light can at least do something about his hair and body it will be enough for now.

Kusuriyuri stares at the paintings, still not comfortable with their movements. Paintings are not supposed to move, not in his world. He can hear them talking, too, gossiping behind their hands about the decline of the school, the odd dress and rude manners of the new students. There are not so discrete glances in his direction. He wonders which applies to him, though it really doesn't concern him.

The shower was uneventful, just a quick scrub to get the butter off. He'll take a longer one once he finds out where he is sleeping tonight. Plus if he allowed himself time to think in the shower, it could be hours before he comes out and it is impoliet to keep people waiting.

He towels off the excess water and wears it around his hips as Light inspects the state of his clothing. It would be more sanitary if he could have washed them even a little bit, but he doesn't want to sit around in a towl all day waiting for his clothes to dry. Light leaves the towel in the sink for someone else to clean up as he redresses before going back out to the hallway.

"I do regret that I have not a wand," Kusuriyuri murmurs as the boy reappears. "There is a spell I have seen that would clean your clothes." He tilts his head slightly. "Do you know anything of this place?" Kusuriyuri has his bearings enough now to lead them to the Great Hall.

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"I've heard that it is called Hogwarts, a school for witchcraft and wizardry, but not much beyond that. So there is a spell to clean clothing? Could I learn it?" Light isn't a totall neat freak, he just likes looking good.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"That may be so," Kusuriyuri allows. "It does require a wand, but the spell itself seems simple enough."

Kusuriyuri leads them to a table and kneels on one of the benches, setting his medicine chest next to him and begins to pull herbs out of it to brew tea. "How is it you happened to arrive in the manner you did? I was led to believe that is not the normal fashion to arrive in." In so far as everyone he knew how they arrived, arrived through the same method he did.

"I do not know how I ended up like this, but a person called Near told me that it means I've been here before. I just have no memory of ever being here," Light watches as the tea is being made and realises that they haven't been introduced to each other yet.

"I'm Light Yagami, and you are..?"

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"I am Kusuriyuri," he replies. "Just a simple medicine peddler." He pours the tea and offers the boy, Light-kun, a cup. "I know of one called Near. If this is what he told you, then it would most likely be so." He takes a sip of the tea, satisfied with the flavor.

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"I see," Light doesn't offer to explain what he was, instead he just sips some tea along with Kusuriyuri. It has a calming effect, but Light still feels a bit stressed.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"If you will pardon the intrusion," Kusuriyuri murmurs, "something troubles you?"

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"Nothing you should be concerned about," Light waves off the problem. "It's just I've met some people I know from where I come from, but they aren't too happy with me."

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri tilts his head slightly. "Is that so?" He drinks his tea quietly, watching Light. He has asked, it is polite to allow the subject to drop.

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

Light doesn't reply, but continues to drain his tea. Not everyone should know that he was or is Kira. No one should have known anyway. Even so, it would probably be best to get busy on a project to clear his mind.

"So, a wand is needed to cast spells. Where could I purchase my own? They seem to be a very useful tool," he changes the subject.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"Yes, a wand. I was planning on having my student take me. I shall ask if he would mind you coming." He knew A was rather nervous around people. He holds up the tea pot. "More?"

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"Is that student anyone I would know?" cause Light knows that if it is true then he'll have to go some other time.

"Yes, please," he holds his cup closer to the pot.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri poured the tea. "I do not know if you would know him. He is shy. I will ask if he would like for you to join us. If not, I may be able to take you later, if you do not find someone more amiable sooner."

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"Alright then, thank you," if this person does not know who Kira is then it should be fine even if he is shy.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"Do not mention it." Kusuriyuri waves the thanks aside. "Unfortunately, I am not as familiar with the castle as I should be. I can take you to the library or it may be you will find someone here who can guide you to somewhere else." He bows slightly, "Unless you are desiring more tea?"

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"I've had enough tea for now. You do not need to take me to the library if it is out of your way, directions will be sufficient."

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"Well, then," Kusuriyuri proceeds to give Light-kun directions to the library, adding at the end, "That is, if nothing has moved. I must continue about my previous errand, though. I am to meet my student shortly and we are to meet outside, which is in the opposite direction." He packs the now dry cups into his case and proceeds to leave the Great Hall.
