Cake & OCD 005 - [Accidental Video]

[[L has seen what happens when someone doesn't take care of their child and with Mello pint sized, the last thing he needs is to have that happen to him.

Roll tape.
L is in his usual sitting position, except he's taken said position on the middle of his bed. His thumb poised at his lip as it pushes the soft flesh askew from its normal position until inevitably it falls the wayside and his blank expression returns to its rightful start. Plucked between pointer and thumb in his other hand, the detective is studying what seems to be a little pink bow between his fingers.

His eyes are glued to it, so much so that this could be the one thing that solves the Kira case if he hadn't already. Long, spidery arms reach forward and out of the screen's view where a small set of undoubtedly slobber filled giggles awaits the person watching long enough to hear the gleeful noises.]]

There.
Now you'll be unmistakeable as a girl, Elle.

[[His arms raise again and a small infant comes into view, pink bows set in no particular order in her hair tied meticulously in the raven locks just long enough to hold them. It looks a mess even if to the detective it doesn't. To him, it's fashion statement of the century for babies.]]

Sounds like someone's havin' fun.

[L or the baby? Jake makes no specifications.]

[[There's a chorus of gurgling, it's not L brushing his teeth either. It's Elle.]]

Mm?
Not particularly. I've no choice otherwise we're turned into children from the looks of things.

Seems like I'm missin' out on all the fun, Pardner.

[Not that he's REALLY complaining.]

A--? What do you mean?

[[Lies. You want to be dressing up a cute little gurgling baby who throws up its food in your face too.]]

[Sigh. Jake actually kinda would like a kid of his own. He's curious about it.]

I mean I haven't been fortunate enough to be blessed with a little dogie myself this week.

[[L's sort of intrigued, wondering just WHY he was picked then if they knew how absolutely inept he felt about raising anything more than a fork full of cake to his mouth.]]

Is that so?
You view this as a blessing? You realize of course, it vomits.

[Jake laughs slightly.]

Guess I'm just used to young folks followin' me around.

[First his younger brother, then Lana's sister...at least kids give his cowboy getup more credit than their older counter parts.]

Never had anything 'gainst kids, anyhow.

[What's that sound? Is he drinking? You bet he is.]

[[L can only assume its water or some other fashion of non-alcoholic beverage, mainly because it doesn't suit him to think otherwise. Tea is his vice. Sugar too. Mm sugar.]]

They seem to have 'something' against us. It decidedly cried most of the night and I was forced to pace the floor and go as far as name it. ..mmn perhaps you have tips for a new mother?

You try tellin' any stories? Or singin' a song?

Mmn, Stories... I had tried explaining to both Elle and Mello the difference between two theoretical formulas who're close to one another in methodology but not in answer. That seemed to put her to sleep after a while.

[[Yes. He did just bore a baby to sleep.]]
