shot o.1 // [voice]

[there's no video to accompany the message: it's strictly audio, whether due to paranoia or the holder's inability to work a Blackberry not immediately apparent. The voice is dry and irritated, coughs punctuating the short delivery he gives to announce himself. It's probably familiar to more than a few people in the manor...]

If this is Hell, it's not a very good rendition. Where's the fire? Brimstone? Demons to make me repent for everything I've done? [a cough, here; perhaps a small bit of laughter that stops as soon as it began. there's not a circle of hell that he doesn't belong in, and he's not sure why he's not there now.]

If it's not Hell, then does anyone know where I can find some chocolate? [his tone is dry on this sentence; he clearly thinks he's dead, and this is all just a hallucination from inside his mind.]

[there's a brief silence, then--] I never told you my name. I'm guessing that's going to be a reoccurring trend? [he sounds a little irritated over the prospect-- his identity is one of the few things he can really call his, after all.]

An alternate me. Hm. Anything I should look out for? [almost grudgingly asked-- he doesn't like being this out of place and having to ask for this much help.]

[So it really is him.]

We've worked together once before, so yes, I do know your name. To be fair, mine's Naomi Misora. You may or may not recognize it.

In any case, it's been awhile since the old you has been here, so you should be able to start off with a clean slate. Just don't be surprised if anyone else recognizes you. If I recall, the other you didn't exactly have the most controlled tempers around people.

Two from our world in particular you might want to be aware of are here though, Kira and B. I trust you know who they are. The former doesn't appear to be able to act here so he's not a threat. The latter, I can't really say what he's thinking. Another one whom you might be interested in is your predecessor. He's here too.

Naomi Misora? I recognize it. [he's not going to say much more than that, though-- they both know, then, so why linger on it.

He doesn't comment on the fact that Kira is here-- he knows that; knows who the bastard is, but he lost once and doesn't want to do so again. B being here, that deserves a note, but--]

--L is here?

It appears that quite a few from our world are here, he being one of them, yes.

[Mello is so perking and trying to contain himself.]

Do you know where he stays?

[She pauses for a few seconds. Naomi had never actively gone looking for L herself, but knowing how near impossible it is to remove these annoying nametags from the doors, it's probably not that hard to find if you search hard enough.]

No, I don't, but I'm sure you can find his room if you look for the name plates outside. They're basically impossible to remove, so it's likely his door will still have one. Of course, I wouldn't expect it to read L. There is a good chance it would have an alias, but I'm sure you are more familiar with those than I am.

I'll look for him then. [a pause, and then-- he'll consider you an ally. You're not the same as Matt, and he doesn't trust you that much, but he knows your track record, so-- common courtesy.] Thank you.

You're welcome. [Also for common courtesy. She has nothing against Mello. However, she's sick and tired of being left out of the loop.]

I've answered all of your questions. I think it's only fair that you return the favor, don't you?

It depends entirely on the questions, but I'm willing to listen.

You worked on the Kira case, didn't you?

Not in any official capacity, but yes.

[Yes, she figured that given the previous Mello's admitting to having dabbled in shady dealings, but that answer was satisfactory.]

I was too, also not in any official capacity. I managed to uncover some hints as to the extent and limitations of Kira's power. However, I was abducted before I had a chance to discover how he managed to carry out the killings.

[Might as well be straightforward.]

If you know, I'd appreciate it if you would shed some light on the situation.

[If Mello had indeed died, it may be that he hadn't gotten far enough to figure that out, but Naomi can hope.]

[Mello pauses, and then...]

What do you already know?

[What? How did this end up back with her answering the questions? Oh, she's really annoyed right now but continues to try and keep her cool.]

That Kira needed a name to kill and could kill by means other than a heart attack. He could possibly control his victims before their deaths too.

Your part in the case came after my time, I'm pretty sure based on interactions with the former version of you. So you may or may not already know all of this.
