Life Is Beautiful [Chapter 3 Part 2]

"So . . ." I started a new mind game, moving from the wall. My next test is to see if I can get close enough to touch the glass without him noticing, maybe even get him to come closer also.

Nix: You don’t “win” a test. You pass a test. You “win” a game.

"What brings you here this evening, Mr Yagami?" He held his head high and frowned.
"How do you know my name?"

Ratt: Is that really all you’re focused on?

"Oh, it was in the police files, and a fare warning,

Nix: SHE DID IT AGAIN!! It’s spelled “fair!”

you should delete them before anyone else less friendly sees them,

Ratt: Anyone...LESS FRIENDLY? How can you possibly be any less friendly than Miss Sadistic Bitch over here?

or at the least, hid them better." His throat tightened as he swallowed.
"Thank you, I'll make note of that."
"Good." I stared at him for a long minute, then smiled reassuringly when I saw he realise he was tense, I already saw it, ever before he knew he was doing it.

Ratt: Well, most people would be tense when they’re around a criminal.

"You do not get out much, do you Mr Yagami?"
"How would you know?"

Ratt: Takes one to know one.

Oh, he was catching on, best make it less obvious.
"You just look a little pale, though that could easily be because you are having an intelligent convocation with me, face to face."

Ratt: Why? WHY would having an intelligent conversation make him pale? ESPECIALLY him, considering his son is one of the smartest people in the world?

Nix: Because she’s arrogant.

He let out a shaky breath I doubt he even realised he was holding. "Tell me, is that because, A: I am dressed in clothing thinner than wrapping paper?"

Ratt: Wow, she’s such a slut.

It was true, the clothing I wore were quite thing,


Ratt: Yes, I always wear clothing that are quite “thing”.

Nix: IT’S THE THING!!

being it only a long, daggy, white shirt that reached mid thigh.

Ratt: THESE AREN’T NORMAL PRISON CLOTHES. THIS IS WHAT YOU’D SEE AT THE BEGINNING OF AN ADULT PORN VIDEO BEFORE THEY TAKE IT OFF AND GET IT ON.

"B: you are talking to a murderer,

Ratt: That’s a logical reason.

or C: if I were tempted enough, I could find a way out of here in precisely 3.25 seconds and kill you?"

Ratt: Your arrogance astounds me.

He visibly stiffened.

Nix: *wiggles eyebrows*

"I thought so." I took another step. He did not notice.

Ratt: How does he not notice? More importantly, why does it even matter that he doesn’t notice? Who cares? She’s behind glass.

"If you don't mind me asking, but what is that supposed to mean?" I stilled just in time.

Ratt: Because it is totally oh-so-important for him to not notice that you’re moving.

"I am saying you are pale because of A, B and C.
Ratt: Isn’t that what the above implied?

Now enough chatter, you came here for more than that, correct me if I am wrong."
"No, you are right."
"I know. Now, if you do not mind, I find it easier to respect a man that gets right to the point."

Ratt: ...Says the girl who made a simple, polite apology into a five-minute discussion.

Nix: And, as we see later, you don’t respect anyone.

"Oh, yes." I waited. "I was sent here by L, but you probably already knew that."

Ratt: ...Why would he tell her that he was sent by L?

"Yes," I stated. "I am only curious to know as to why."
"Well, you don't have to be L to see how smart you are to be a murderer since the age of 10

Ratt: I don’t quite understand the connection between being a murderer and being intelligent. Not getting caught is a mixture of luck and planning. Just...argggg.

and still out smart and run all agents–" He was taking too long.

Nix: I sense the Sue’s ego being stroked.

"You are wasting my time, Mr Yagami." I turned my back on his and slowly began to walk the opposite direction as though I could leave.

Ratt: But you can’t, so this is pointless.

"No, wait." I stopped. "He was hoping you could help us."

Ratt: L DOESN’T NEED HELP.

I smirked in triumph, but quickly gained emotion,

Nix: As in, you had no emotion before? Okay, that just... urgh. Look right here to find the Profile of the Sociopath.

Now, let’s take a look at it. Mainly “Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt” and “Shallow Emotions.” She has never once told us or shown us that she feels guilty about killing people. She could care less if that person had family and friends or was trying to live a better life after getting out of jail. Not only that, but she has also just admitted that she put on emotion to fool someone, a thing that sociopaths often do.

and turned it to a look of shock before turning to him.

Ratt: *resists the urge to go off on a tirade and call V a ton of bad names because of how ridiculously stupid she is*

"Did he now?"
"Yes." I turned my full body so I was facing him again, than took a few steps closer.

Ratt: I CALL RAPE.

"What would I have to do?" Another step.
"Help us figure out where he is and how he kills." Another step.
"Oh, really? And here I thought you would have figured that much out already." A pause.
"We know he needs a face and a name." Another step.
"Oh, that's all?" Another step.

Ratt: Is this “another step” thing supposed to be suspenseful? Because it’s not working.

"Is there more?" he asked through a whisper as though someone were around.
"Oh, Mr Yagami . . ." A step. "I have the feeling we have not even began to understand anything."

Ratt: Yes, such as proper use of grammar.

Nix: I’m imagining her trying to walk seductively and being all “Oh, Mr. Yagami...”

Ratt: I know, right? And using some sexy tone?


Nix: Yeah, you’re right. I’m imagining Soichiro being like: “UMMM YEAH, I’M MARRIED YOU KNOW.”

Step.
"What more is there to understand?" His voice was getting softer with each step I took, and he had not even noticed yet.

Ratt: ...I think it would be easy to notice someone walking closer and closer to me.

"Life, Mr. Yagami. We need to understand life."

Ratt: It really does sound like V is totally trying to seduce him.

Nix: *faux-passionate voice* Life, Ratt, we need to understand it...! *swoons*

At this point I was up against the glass,

Ratt: I’m imagining her with her face pressed up against it like a fat kid looking into a candy shop through the window.

Nix: I’m imagining she wants someone pressing her up against the glass.

now it was his turn to take a step. "But, between the two of us, I think I am the only one in this world to ever understand any of it," I said in a dramatic whisper.


"What makes you say that?" He then, just as planned, took a step.

Ratt: Oh, big accomplishment. HE TOOK A STEP, THE GODS BE WARNED.

"To see life, Mr Yagami, you must be observant."
And then, he took the final step. "What gives you the idea that I'm not?"
I smiled my devilish smirk.

Ratt: Do you honestly believe that people are going to find that attractive or cute, or make us want to be on the Sue’s side? No, Suethor, just no.

Nix: Anyway, how can you smile a smirk?

“Because, Mr Yagami, if you were observant, you would have seen that you are only one sheet of glass away from touching a deadly monster."

Ratt: Yeah, I think he knows that. I think he knows that he is only one sheet of glass away from her.

His eyes widened, stating that he finely saw it, and finely realised my game.

Ratt:


"It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr Yagami," I sighed, turning my back to him and walked to the farther wall once again. "You have given me valuable information to work with." And with that, he left.

Nix: And with that, we leave.
