Open RP, Great Hall

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

Although he normally eats alone in his room, the Great Hall is still where Light will eat occasionally. And now in the Great Hall, Light isn't doing much else than eating oranges slice by slice and such from the assorted fruit bowl a house elf delivered. He left whatever book he had been reading back in Slytherin because he was starting to get a headache while looking through it. Since he doesn't feel like going back to the book yet, Light stays longer than he would normally, so he might as well talk to some people while he's here.

Mikami is on his way back to his room, carrying a book on Memory Charms. He nearly drops it when he sees Light. The radio disaster is still vivid in his mind.

"I - I should tell you," he says, trying to cover his fright, "Matt is no longer popcorn. I met him earlier."

"Do you know how much Matt remembers?" Light is curious because he knew Matt and L were together.

He doesn't look angry or anything so Mikami should see that even though Light didn't reply to that owl, he isn't angry at Mikami. Though he could be annoyed at Ryuk.

"He remembers having been here, but he didn't know me. I don't know how much he retained, exactly. And he knows nothing of what happened while he was popcorn, which is - logical, since he died."

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"From what I know, being popcorn is like being nothing. Of course you would still exist back in your own world, but there is nothing to the popcorn state. So it is understandable why memory loss is common for those that have gone," because popcorn doesn't think, it has no brain to store the memories that the person collected since appearing in Hogwarts. That anyone would remember anything, that they wouldn't have known in their sorting, after coming out of that state is surprising.

Or maybe that's just Light's logic and that's not how popcorning works at all. It is a mystery~

Mikami nods. He's not quite sure he follows it, but God is obviously right. "That makes sense. But then the question is, when someone is popcorn here and alive in their own world, can they still remember Hogwarts?"

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"There might be a spell so that a person can remember Hogwarts in their own world if it doesn't happen naturally. I wouldn't rule out the possibility without looking into it first."

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

"I won't." The 'God' in that sentence is implied. He sounds rather more fervent than someone holding an ordinary conversation, but no one else seems to be listening just now. "That's exactly what I mean to find."

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

Obviously Mikami doesn't mean to find that spell for himself. No, he's too late in time for any new memory to change things. But Light can't have Mikami know that he already agreed with L to let things be, because Mikami wouldn't understand. How could he when he lived in a world that accepted Kira and no longer saw the killings as murder, but true justice? He doesn't know the difference between being Kira and being someone that was accused of a crime that they didn't remember committing. Not that Light has been any help for him to understand this difference by allowing Mikami to continue seeing him as a god, but as long as Mikami isn't making a scene over Kira or that Light has the control to stop the other from starting something is enough.

"I see," this said in a way that can be interpreted however one wants to hear it, and Light continues eating from the fruit bowl.

It would take a lot for Mikami to suspect that he's just being humoured. He takes Light's comment as approval, and if it sounds a little flat - well, he's given God no reason to assume that he won't fail again. But he won't. This time, no mistakes.

"I'll - let you know," he says. It's still awkward for him, talking to God as if he were any other student. "When I discover anything."

Sunflora smelled fruit! And it smelled delicious!

But Sunflora wasn't just going to steal Light's food, that was mean.

Sunflora climbed up the bench so she was a few feet down from Light.

"Can I have some fruit?"

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

A talking sunflower? But Light had an argument with a potatochip... a talking sparklechip, so it's not like Sunflora is the strangest thing he's spoken with.

"Sure," Light pushes the bowl closer to her and takes a green apple for himself.

[omg-sunflora.livejournal.com]

Sunflora picks up some grapes and begins eating them one by one. "I'm Sunflora." Chomp. Chomp. "Fruit tastes so much better than some of the stuff you humans eat."

Yes, she's been tasting food, why do you ask?

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

Light takes a bite of the apple while Sunflora is talking.

"What have you tried that you didn't like? And I'm Light."

[omg-sunflora.livejournal.com]

"This burned meat. Something hard and chewy. This dark wet thing that turned me into a human." That was hexed cake.

[darkwithoutme.livejournal.com]

"What was being human like for you?" That could be interesting.

[omg-sunflora.livejournal.com]

"I didn't like it. It felt too weird."
