001 ♱ arrival (video)

Who: Mihael "Mello" Keehl & open.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: Marsiva. Hospitality deck.
When: Current.

[Mihael's eyes blink open slowly, then immediately sharpen. He sits up with a jerk, barely keeping himself from looking visibly panicked, from bringing a hand to his chest to feel for a heartbeat. In that split second after waking his mind is flooded with several thoughts at once, the foremost being that he's alive, which doesn't make sense given what he knows about the Death Note and what he's sure he felt only moments before. If he's alive then there's a good chance that Kira is involved, and that wherever he is would be monitored by the enemy.

But then, this also doesn't seem like Kira's style. The self-proclaimed god of the new world just killed people that were in his way, often even when keeping them alive might have served his purposes better. This means that something has to have gotten in the way of that - an unwritten rule, perhaps, or another shinigami. He'd always been ahead of them when it came to how the books truly worked.

There's a chill, but it's not in the air. He feels it deep in his bones, and he laments the loss of his coat. He hadn't been wearing it when he'd "died", and a glance around lets him know that it at least isn't in the room with him. His vest doesn't do much against the cold, though if it's coming from within an extra layer over his skin might not do much anyway. Is this normal? Part of the process of foiling the note? Having this big of an information gap is infuriating. He doesn't have his gun either, but that's the least surprising revelation so far.

He sits up, sliding to the edge of the cot. The room is completely unfamiliar and sterile. If someone is monitoring him, then they'll expect him to check the door. Might as well not keep them waiting. He's not even sure he should be surprised when it opens. Even if it's some sort of trap, whatever's out here has to be able to tell him more than what's in that little room. The attempt on his life has already been made, and it would be a waste of resources to go through all this trouble just to try and kill him again right away.

Leaving the door ajar for a few moments more, he does a final check of the room to make sure he isn't leaving anything behind. He pats himself down, too, as new additions to his person were very possible in this situation. The bump behind his ear gets a deep frown out of him, and messing with it proves to be too uncomfortable. A bug, perhaps. A tracking device. Both. He'll have to watch what he says.

In his pocket is... not his cell phone. Something else. When he flips it open he's met with an unfamiliar interface - unfamiliar, but not difficult. This is something. It's a step toward figuring out what's going on, and he's thumbing through entries as he finally leaves the room.

Some time later, he finally addresses the network himself.]


Disregard any messages from another I.D. of someone with my name and face.

And you. You'll talk to me.

[Well, it's not hard to recognize this voice, is it. Still, it sends a chill up Micah's spine, hearing it come not out of his own mouth but through the device. A number of thoughts race through his head - a doppelganger, maybe, or some kind of trick being played by those responsible for bringing him here. A hallucination is always possible, though unlikely; a doppelganger is probably the most likely.

But there's no way of knowing without engaging, and besides, hiding has never been Micah's style. So he turns on the device, openly showing his unsmiling face in reply.]


Will I, now?

[Of course he will; he is. But everything about his tone says he doesn't appreciate being ordered around.]

All right. What would you like to talk about?

And what name is that, exactly?

[Well, that's something you don't see every day. Not that people sharing the same face are especially surprising to her. There are various reasons—twins, shapeshifters, and alternate realities. Same name takes care of the first one. Last one seems most likely in a place like this.]

Were you expecting someone else with your name and face or is this new for you?
enflammen: (i've been floating here too long)

[personal profile] enflammen 2016-02-07 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
What about it?

[Equally so.]
brokencopy: (you fail with words and try again)

[personal profile] brokencopy 2016-02-07 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
It was important enough that you felt the need to mention it.

[Her eyes narrow a bit, giving him a hard stare.]

You're a dick. It's a useful thing to know when interacting with other people.
enflammen: (all of my wrongs)

[personal profile] enflammen 2016-02-07 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Micah arches an eyebrow, then laughs - not an expression of genuine amusement, more an acknowledgement of the absurdity of this entire situation.]

All right, I'll bite. How exactly is my existence redundant?
enflammen: (nothing left inside to rearrange)

[personal profile] enflammen 2016-02-07 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not you.

[Micah may not be sure of much about this situation, but that's one thing he can say he knows for certain.]

Let me guess - you go by Mello, right?

[Completely unruffled:] Please call me Ryuzaki. But I don't think that's the typical order for making introductions.
enflammen: (all of my wrongs)

[personal profile] enflammen 2016-02-07 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, I got nothing better to do.

[Just, you know. Killing time on a spaceship.]

I'm in the gym.
brokencopy: (talk my way out of speculation)

[personal profile] brokencopy 2016-02-07 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, is it? My mistake, then.

[He's flexible. Doesn't sound particularly apologetic about it, either.]

Pleased to meet you, Mihael.

[The name doesn't really mean anything to B - he's used to seeing so many names every day, they all fade from his memory unless he has a reason to remember them.]

Though I suppose this could hardly be called a meeting, in the traditional sense.

[Souji nearly drops what he's working on when he sees the face on his video feed. It's been months since Melasurei, and - well, he hasn't forgotten entirely, but it's started to fade from his memory, like the other Seta said it would.]

... Mason?

[ Okay. First one and now another, and this one had the sort of attitude she remembered going with the face, but... ]

And why should we do that?

[just because he's not you doesn't make him any less a person to be listened to.]

[There's not much that can be done as far as preparation in coming face to face with someone who looks uncannily like you. Micah's been bracing himself for it since Mihael first called him out on the network, and he's still taken aback when the other blond enters the room. But OK, this is fine. He hops down off the treadmill and stands entirely still, submitting himself to close scrutiny with an unshrinking sort of silent defiance.

Micah is 23, and the scar that covers the left side of his face is a little better healed because he received proper medical attention for the injury, but his physical appearance is otherwise mostly the same. He wears black clothing, but not leather; he keeps a rosary tucked away in his pocket instead of hung around his neck.

He's silent for a tense moment as he's studied, giving the other man a less intense looking over in exchange. Micah doesn't back down from the examination, but it's still less than comfortable, so he leans on his particular brand of humor to ease some of the pressure in the lack of space between them.]
