badfic_manor | 002 - Naomi Misora

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Naomi Misora, and like a number of you, I have taken an interest in the recent murders. However, individual investigation can only go so far. If any of you are interested in collaboration, I am willing to trade information regarding the killer and his victims. I am no detective and I do not claim to be one. I am simply trying my hardest to make sense of the present situation. I don't care who catches the murderer. I don't care how it's done. I just want the killings to stop.

I understand that some of you would rather not get involved. Perhaps some of you don't even care. In that case, I apologize for the unsolicited message and ask that you simply ignore what doesn't apply to you. However, for those who are actively trying to track down the murderer and don't mind sharing any useful news, please feel free to respond. I will in return relay what information I have accumulated so far as well.

Thank you.

[Though of course, Misora doesn't intend to reveal everything she knows to just anyone just yet.]

[Private to Tom / No hacky!]

If you're interested, I would like to request your help. I'm pretty sure I know who the killer is.

[Private to Mello / Also no hacky!]

I thought you'd like to know, someone claiming to be L contacted me yesterday.

What do you mean the last attempt? [She hopes he wasn't referring to L.]

There was something in place before - the person who organized it is no longer here. It was apparently brought together in a hurry, and was functioning as a work in progress; the people involved, for various reasons, were hard to approach by most of the Manor, and it hinged on a bargain made with the Author...

Which meant that it wasn't very reliable - the Author had override, to the point of inflicting punishment on someone who'd been found innocent.

Is that so? [Disturbing, very disturbing.] After this is over, and it will end, there really ought to be a new legal system. Someone had talked about that idea earlier, but I don't know how feasible the possibility is. Would the Author ever allow for something like that?

From what I've seen and heard, it seems that her main motivation is boredom. It wouldn't surprise me if she's actually on the killer's side this time.

I've been trying searching nameplates and doors with no luck; he's just as capable of making a deal with her as anyone else. She's not actively malicious per se, from my assessment, but is a child with an ant farm - she doesn't see us as real, so she doesn't have any qualms about shaking the farm to watch us scramble.

She doesn't restrict the actions of the residents normally, outside of the interferences made by the various plots. We should be able to arrange something, it'll just have to be tailored to this setting; it won't work unless the majority of residents are willing to trust and respect it, and that means the system has to show respect to the bizarre melting-pot we have here. If we can get something that the more active residents will agree to, we'll have enough sway to make something work even around her occasional meddling.

If we can get something that they will agree to. [Ah, she was being pessimistic again.] But I'd like to help in any way I can, so count me in.

[She pauses for a moment before deciding whether or not to say it.]

You have helped me clear some stuff up as well as provided me with another means to defend myself, so I feel obligated to tell you at least this much. I have had a run in with the the one I suspect to be the murderer behind this case a while back. I don't know where he's hiding and how he's accomplishing his deeds, but I know what he looks like. If you're looking for him by nameplates and doors alone, you probably won't get too far. But if you have an idea of his appearance, it might help. He's unlikely to just stroll around in front of people in broad daylight, but it shouldn't be completely impossible to catch a glimpse of him in the hallways or something.

He looked to be in his early 20's and had grotesquely messy, black hair. He was thin, no, completely emaciated. He looked like he hadn't eaten in months. He also had pale, matte skin. Whether it was some skin condition or make up, I couldn't be too sure. It's not much to go by, but I hope the description will come in handy in tracking him down.

(ooc: No, Naomi does not know that B looks similar to L, since she still doesn't know what L looks like.)
