You're watching us, aren't you?

I have a proposition for you.

Hello, L. We wondered when you would ask an audience with us.

What is it that is on your mind?

[Text]

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

There are many things on my mind.

I have questions I would like to ask you, but there is a more pressing matter at hand. Are you willing to address both?

Re: [Text]

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

We will address what we can address. But we mustn't abandon some sense of dramatic irony. You may decide what you will ask of us.

You continue to write in more and more dangerous characters. Soon they will take over, leaving the others to live in absolute terror.

A story without a moral center is not a good story. Too much senseless violence without consequences will make it lose its meaning. Especially as you do not allow us to stay dead.

Re: [Text]

Do you wish for those who die to remain dead?

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

I am sure you know that is not what I'm asking.

Those who commit crimes should be held accountable for their actions. Even in fiction, there is usually some sort of law and order. It is because anarchy is boring.

Re: [Text]

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

Anarchy can be great fun. But what is your suggestion?

[Text - wtf self, L doesn't talk in the third person... irony.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

I would like your cooperation to help us punish those who are convicted of crimes.

That is some lovely irony you have on, there.

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

That depends on the manner of cooperation. We cannot interfere with the Story.

Oh, I know it.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

The story will not be interfered with. The story will be preserved.

I have spoken to the others. Most are reasonable and want to work with it. The others need to understand there are rules that will be enforced.

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

It is interesting when a character tries to change his fate. What is your plan, L?

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

I have compiled a series of laws and a system for upholding justice. Convicted criminals will face a punishment that befits their crime.

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

Is our cooperation needed to enforce punishment, perhaps?

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

It would be appreciated. Attempting to enforce the law only to have the story altered to release the criminals does not get the point across.

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

Your argument is compelling. But the answer is No.

Unless you are willing to pay a price, L.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

...

I wondered when you would ask.

What do you want?

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

That is up to your imagination. Give us something that we might want.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

...

I will not be having sexual intercourse with a man.

Or a woman, for that matter.

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

That is unfortunate. What payment are you willing to give?

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

... [His knowledge of godawful fanfiction is so scant.]

What would you like to see more of in the Story? Prior stipulations excluded.

[Yeah, he'll play your game. He won't like it, but he will.]

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

Drama.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

That is a very broad spectrum.

Romantic drama? Comedic drama? Historical drama?

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

Any and all are welcome. However, in your particular case, romantic drama would be preferred.

[hunch-ofjustice.livejournal.com]

[...That's new. Someone wanting L to be a casanova? What's wrong with this girl? And half of the internet?]

You are suggesting I... ask someone out?

[the-3rd-person.livejournal.com]

It is only a suggestion. You may consider other options that appeal to you.
