MAH BOI, this peace is what all true shinigami strive FOR.
I just wonder what the humans are up to.
At school
Chemistry is the study of matter. But I prefer to see it as the study of change. Now just. just think about this. Electrons. They. Change their energylevel. Molecules. Molecules change their bonds. Elements they combine and change into compounds. Well that's. That's all of life. Right? It's just. It's the constant. It's the cycle. It's solution. Dissolution. Over and over and over.
I wish this class was over!
Oh ho ho ho!
Hey! Aren't you two a little too old to be in high school?
Cripes there's so many rules... This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing their name... If you don't write cause of death within 40 seconds, the person will die of a heart attack...
...You know what would be funny? If I wrote someone's name in here. Like. Ironically. Of course.
Well you can't blame me for the TV Guide's mistakes
She's just like me for real...
I love watching The Simpsons with you Sayu, but I think I ought to go study now.
In Light's room
Wew, what a day! I had a math test, a presentation, I killed someone, and I still need to narrow down my list of colleges. Just a day in the life of a high school senior!
Sounds stressful. Why don't you go watch more Simpsons with your sister?
I always knew I was destined for greatness, and it's important I start thinking of my career since I'm about to head into university. Though I can't bring much change as I would like as a police officer, or schoolteacher, or... god forbid, a wiki editor... Fuck no! God of the new world seems like an ideal career path.
Now let's look up this so called "Heist Crew."
Huh, looks like this crew has their own website, with names, faces, and everything.
This will be TOO easy.
Shit sorry I didn't mean to turn on that red lamp.
Chief Yagami those guys we were going after! They all died! Every last one of them!
Oh well, I'm sure it's nothing.
One week later, at the police summit being held because so many criminals died
erm... awk-WARD....
Matsuda shut up this is important.
So, it seems, all the world's criminals are dying left and right.
This is a puzzle of a puzzle, and you know I can't let a puzzle be unsolvable, so I got the world's greatest detective, L, to help us out!
WOW! L! who is l?
A mysterious detective. They say he's never shown his face...
What's up gamers it's me, L from Death Note, and today, I'm gonna try my hand at solving the murder case. Yea that's right! MURDER!
So, here's what I got so far. I'm pretty sure our murderer lives somewhere in Japan, they probably need just a face and name to kill someone, and I'm almost certain they have access to a popular wiki.
Huh? What makes you say that?
Well for one, haven't you noticed all the red and blue links around?
But little does heknow... I have his name and face now! Not only will I write the names of criminals, but from this point on I'll also write down the name of anyone who tries to stop me!
This could have been fun, Weird L, but you showed your cards too early!
No but seriously Kira, we are coming after you, and someday I'll get y-
Shit fuck damn crap he's having a heart attack! CUT TO COMMERCI-
Oh. um. awk. ward... That wasn't actually me, that was a polka musician who was scheduled for public execution tomorrow afternoon.
Really fucked up of you that you would kill someone impersonating me... Almost as if you intend to kill anyone who gets in your way. But it gave me a lot of information. You only need a face and name to kill. You're in the Kanto region of Japan. And, if I had to guess, you're probably some immature high school or college student who hates to lose.
That's because I've hidden the it in a secret compartment. And as to not rouse any suspicion, I've placed a yaoi manga in the main drawer compartment. That way, it'll be apparent that the only secret Light Yagami is hiding is that he is gay. But if anyone is still curious, they'll find opening the secret compartment in the wrong way blows up the entire fucking house.
Well, it's pretty silly, but they have a seal there named Niko who looks suspiciously like our paper stalker... I figure, if I write that name, Paper Niko in the notebook, I should be able to eliminate him.
Is it? Tell me Chief Yagami, has your family been acting weird lately?
Well, Light's been holed up in his room for a while! But he has entrance exams to study for! The only morally questionable thing he's probably doing right now is spoiling his dinner by eating potato chips!
This creature looks similar to that other one! But what name would this one have? Pumpkin Paper Niko? Paper Niko Pumpkin? Paper Numpkin? Paper Napkin?! Dammit! What's your name?!
What is this guy's game?! If I decline him, he'll know I'm Kira! But at the same time... Maybe he's expecting Kira to waltz in and take over the case! I can't do that either! But if I say no, he'll know I thought about taking over the case.
So, which will it be, Light Yagami? Will you force yourself to uncover your true identity? Or will you hide in the shadows because you
truly are Kira? Or perhaps you'll join the task force to keep yourself hidden in plain sight... It's a real Catch-22.
He's absolutely trapped me. The only thing I can do is use his own way of thinking against him!
Now for the big question. Do I let him win? He's probably figured out by now that Kira hates losing. But if I let him win, he'll presume I'm trying to hide my identity...
I bet some of you at home are like. "You've gotta be farkin kidding..." Well great news! I'm not! And if you don't believe me! Change the channel 9! I'll be putting the die in Diary!
Haha! Yeah! I totally did that. Anyway, I just want you all to know that I believe in justice, and I'm willing to work with the police if need be to punish criminals! I have a bunch of these messages to send y'all via the news so I hope you treat me really niceys! Byeeeeee! <3
How did he say a heart?
There's more important matters at hand! Like. Who is this second Kira and how did they get a second book?!
Misa's House
And so the shinigami Gelus risked his life to save you, giving you all his remaining years. And that's why I've come down to give you his notebook
You shinigami, already pushing the limits of mortality live for hundreds and hundreds of years off the deaths of humans. And I got all his years? For me? For Misa? A potential hundreds of years for a person whose species only lives tens of them?
You did trade half your lifespan for shinigami eyes though.
Oh my god who cares? WHO! CARES?!?! For a human what's the difference between 1000 and 2000 years?!
Besides! I need these eyes to find Kira! And thank him for avenging the death of my parents! That's what all this news hype is about. I know all about this. I'm a model and all!
The next day, at the police station
Wewie. First day on the job. Just stay calm. It's not L knows there's two Kiras running around.
Hey guys. I don't know if any of you saw last night's news, but it seems we have two Kiras running around.
Well, Push Dagger, this second Kira seems a bit more sloppy than our original Kira. And you must keep in mind that Kira only kills criminals, or people standing in his way, while this one just killed an innocent.
So now we're dealing with the original Kira, and a second Kira, which I've taken to calling "Girl Kira."
Anyway, I think the best way to calm the populace is to send a response from the "real" Kira. Light, do you think you could pretend to be Kira for the sake of the investigation.
Oh! Uh, sure!
LOL
LOL
At Misa's house, after the Kira Task Force did the thing
Hi guysssss, it's me! Girl Kira! You can tell I'm Girl Kira because of my giggles bow!
I just wanted to let y'all know that I wasn't the real Kira, and I apologize for scaring you! I was only looking for the real Kira! And he responded! So real Kira, this is for you: I'm a huge fan, and I want to thank you for all you've done, and maybe serve as an ally to you! I don't think you have the eyes but that's ok because I do!!! Yay!
Anyway, let's meet irl. We can show each other our shinigami to prove our identities! Doesn't that sound fun?
This either means that Kira or Girl Kira has access to confidential seal files, or, the more likely option: Girl Kira only needs a face to kill people.
Interesting... This article was awarded NerpaPunch Insightful Award! Makes you think!
What the hell was that?!
Oh. Sorry. I have NerpaPunch notifications on my phone.
Folks. I think it's worth pointing out that while the original Kira is more crafty, Girl Kira is objectively more dangerous, so we'll need to get her. In addition, I think she'll give us some hot deets on how to find the original.
I'll try to find her!
If this so-called "Girl" Kira is actually looking for me, I'll need to find them for myself.
I hate you. You smell like Axe Body Spray. And the only reason I haven't written your name in my notebook is because Misa likes you for some ungodly reason.
I thought Misa had your notebook.
You think pulling one over on The Divine Goddess is the only way to get a Death Note?
...Yes?
WRONG!
Oh, did I forget to mention. Rem knows how to kill a shinigami...
Anyway, I want to thank you for killing the madman who killed my parents and also I wanted to help you kill criminals and be your girlfriend for realsies.
How about all that, BUT you're just my girlfriend for pretendsies
You drive a hard bargain... but OKIE
I'm also going to need your eyes. There's this guy who's causing me a lot of trouble, L. I need you to kill him for me!
It's true, no one has said that for at least ten years.
Who cares! I'm a dad! So it's in my nature to be unhip. And you know what else is in my nature? Loving and appreciating my son. He could never be Kira. I'll lock myself up with Light, and if the killings continue, that'll prove he's not Kira!
ummmmm k
Hehe. Neither of them have any idea...
Flashback
So Ryuk, what happens when someone gives up the Death Note?
They lose their memories of ever having the notebook.
You see. Noah is one of the biggest Kira supporters. Now Noah can see you two. Rem, you will stick with Noah and make sure he writes down the names of criminals if I ever have to go to prison. And if that happens and I say "I give it up," regardless of context, assume I reliquinsh the notebook. Now give it back Noah.
oh ok.
Hey! I just thought of something. Wouldn't it be funny if Noah went by N and started investigating you if something were to happen to L
...Rem are you sure you won't tell me how to kill a shinigami.
So I'll need your help on the investigation. In addition, I've hired two more known criminals to help on the case. Famed God of War warmonger TheLegend27, and lettuce themed supervillain Head of Lettuce
Hey now! Why introduce her first?! Does anyone even play God of War?!
We found a couple other things. We found the last livingUltimate Heist Crew member. He apparently never noticed Kira tried to kill him because cats have 9 lives.
Hey, it's cool. It's cool. I just wanted to let you know our side might be losing sometime soon. I might be caught...
The sooner the better, I say.
Well, I mean, if I get caught, so does Misa. I might have to write her name in the notebook. I bring this up because I know you want to protect Misa, right?
No worries. I knew you would blabber the moment you spoke to another human. If I'm caught I just use the notebook and the other two end up as collateral
