Keiichi Maebara | level 7 | [In Person]

[There's blood all over the room and a body with their face smashed into the wall where someone has bashed it in several-several times. It's also a mess as the victim clearly tried to struggle.

Not far from the body there's another laying on the floor on his side. Keiichi's fingernails have traces of skin in them and are covered in his own blood. His neck is just pouring out blood where he's clearly been clawing- oddly enough though, he's still alive-you can see him breathing harshly.]

[Dammit, he'd just checked this room, how could something have happened?! No one came passed him!

Mello's cursing the fact that he went to get a chocolate bar from his coat. It'd only taken a second but apparently that was all it took. He skids to a halt in the room staring over the bloody scene.]

Fuck!

[Hmmmm. There's a distinctive coppery scent in the air that is both putrid and utterly recognizable. Ehehe - it's slightly exciting and Mina wastes no time skipping down the hallway looking for the scene. Not that it's hard to find when there's a blond man shouting obscenities and the like.]

[So, yes. She's skipping into the room and skids to a stop right beside Mello, eyebrows piqued and an almost smile ghosting her lips.]

God. [she drawls] Who let all this happen?

[And here comes L, who was out in the hall reviewing notes. He's got a lollipop in one hand and his syringe of super duper tranqs in the other. He's used to bloody crime scenes, but usually in photos and usually not so... fresh.

And how did the Sue get in here. He'd heard Kuja's had returned, but he didn't put much stock in his mental state.]

Quickly, we must subdue him--!

[Mello, on the other hand, is not at all put off by the scene. He's seen a lot of crazy shit, as he would say. He's more bothered right now by his own mistake. He let this happen. He's also worried about who that body might be. That thought has just rushed into his head, it could be anyone. Keiichi might have just murdered a real person right under his nose. He grits his teeth and uses his anger and self-disgust to power him]

Takami, get out of the room. L, I've got this.

[Keiichi presses a hand tightly to his throat as he looks up to see Minatsuki. His eyes then go to the one following immediately after her and he notes the syringe and-is that a knife?

hid eyes widen and he's on his feet again-taking up the knife his Sue had used to cut his binds. This bastard was probably after Minatsuki same as that bitch had been.]

[Mina's not really paying anyone any mind. this is kinda fun - and she's watching with full attention as Keiichi stands up; she hasn't even turned to see L's ~~scary ass under slept~~ face yet, and smirks to herself before being a snotty little brat and announcing to Mello: ]

I'm not going anywhere. And you can't make me.

[This is why L dislikes civilians. This is also why he's frustrated that he hasn't been able to perfect the design for turning his syringes into a projectile device. But while he is the world's greatest detective, he is not the world's greatest inventor. He usually lets Watari take care of that stuff.

So he'll stick the lollipop back in his mouth and reach out to grab Mina and pull her out of the way. ~~She looks light, okay, he's totally got this.~~ >_>]

[Once he's back on his feet his left hand is at his throat and he winces as he scratches at it, a few drops of blood falling-though to him it looks like maggots are falling out of the open wound.

His eyes widen farther as he sees L try to grab Minatsuki. Before he's even aware of what he's doing he's moving, pulling the knife up to attack, what he sees as, Minatsuki's attacker.]

[Mello's eyes go almost painfully wide. Keiichi moves extremely quickly for someone with so grievous an injury. And he's running towards L and Minatsuki. With a knife. A knife that he could definitely use, especially considering the damage he'd done without a weapon at all. That's all the processing Mello needs to make this decision. They are in danger and Mello has to make a call. His hands pull his gun from its holster and his eyes focus on that point directly between Keiichi's eyes and Mello squeezes the trigger.

The gun kicks in his hand and a single 9 mm bullet strikes Keiichi right between the eyes.

Mello has killed before, through much more grizzly means and for much worse reasons. But although he tells himself he had to do it he still feels heavy and, somehow, empty as he watches Keiichi's body hit the tile floor. Some people deserve to die, Mello will not deny that. Some people need to be dealt with, he'd accepted that a long time ago.

But Keiichi was not one of those people.]

[again, Mina's not paying a whole lot of attention to the main show. she is far too pissed off over the fact that L is touching her. it is not a nice touch, and she immediately looks away from Keiichi to give the hunchback of fucking Not-Giving-A Damn the dirtiest look she can muster.}

Don't fucking touch me, you shi -

[there's the bang and she startles. for all the violence she is surrounded with, a gun is not often employed in those means. she stiffens, and stills, and looks back in time to see the body slump to the floor. and her eyes widen.]

[and, despite herself, she gives a choked off little scream/groan/curse. fuck, he was funny. and now he's dead. she snaps her eyes to Mello.]

What the fuck? He wasn't - he wasn't doing anything! [wrong, but still! she is highly pissed that he's dead and that SHE didn't do it]

Edited 2010-09-07 02:11 (UTC)

[L just stares. And stares.

And slowly lowers the syringe.

Minatsuki's wrong, he WAS definitely making an attack, but -- he could have been subdued. He wasn't well. He shouldn't have been executed. This was exactly what L hadn't wanted to have happen.

He steps back, unhanding Minatsuki as she had instructed. He's suddenly very aware of how much blood is in this room.]

Clean this up.

[He moves for the door.]

[Mello has killed before, over a dozen times. He's killed men on their knees, he's killed men who were begging for mercy, he's killed innocents, he's killed evil men, he's desecrated bodies, hidden them, burned them, broken skulls. He's burned men alive, blown them up, he's shot more men than he'd like to remember. This situation isn't completely novel, that's why he knew to shoot first. People going mad for one reason or another and trying to assassinate Mello or Ross. Shoot to kill. Kill them before they kill you.

"You're the only reason I'm alive," Ross told him once. And that was just one of the many intended compliments that still stung Mello.

Killing didn't bother him so much anymore. Whatever used to hurt inside him had long gone numb.

Or so he thought. No...not quite. Nothing hurt inside of him. There wasn't a pang or ache the way there used to be. He felt dead inside. He wasn't upset, he wasn't crushed, he didn't regret it. He would have done it again if the situation repeated itself. But it made him sad and more than anything else it exhausted him.

He would kill someone who deserved it. He would kill Kira without blinking an eye. There were men who deserved to die and Mello's innocence was long dead. He had long ago decided that he was Hell bound but that he was Hell bound for a reason. He would do what he had to. He would do what no one else wanted to because it had to be done. He would give everything for the greater good.

But this on the other hand...this was not for the greater good. This was wrong. Keiichi was sick, not evil. He was just a kid.]

Got it.

[He felt so heavy and so...just...lost.]

[Mina is...well, conflicted as fuck, and thus turns that into anger. at Mello, at L, at Keiichi, and just about anyone else who she's going to meet within the next five hours. however, she makes no move to - say - pick up that knife, or smack the underslept man, or even punch the blond. nah. physical violence is sort of lost in this situation, and plus - she tells herself - there's no real reason I should be upset anyway.]

[so with an annoyed edge creeping into her voice, the brunette turns on her heel and makes to exit the room just as quickly as she came in, but pauses at the door frame to carelessly throw back: ]

That was a fucking mess.

[L lets Mina push past him through the door, pausing at the doorway himself. He looks back at Mello, unsure of what he feels for him. He's fairly certain Wammy's House wasn't teaching the letters to be trained assassins, but... well. He hadn't known they were teaching B to be B, either.]

Make a public announcement. Covering this up will only hurt us in the long run. We want to stress accountability.

[He hesitates. Should he thank Mello? For possibly saving his life?]

There are always consequences. Even here. Even for us.

[Mello isn't expecting a thank you. He isn't expecting anything. He just nods.]

I got it.

[Actually he wants L gone. He can't have L looking at him like that anymore]

[L turns and leaves without another word.]
