You all move so fast @.@ I'll get to work on a post in a bit

The Hive

I was waiting for Coyote and Skepic :/

There's a two week waiting limit between posts, so technically I can't bump them. I do wonder where they went, though...

“Are you implying that I’m fat?” Sho gaped at the girl –Suzume, he corrected himself– and put a hand to his chest in mock astonishment. “That hurt. I think I might just reconsider who I want to throw to the ghosts.”

He caught her staring at him and was a little surprised to see her blush and quickly turn away. Then he realized his own heart was racing slightly. Whoa, Sho, he told himself. Calm down there. She’s just like all the other girls you hang out with. Nothing more. He still couldn’t stop himself from thinking it was cute how she flipped her hair when she looked away… He coughed awkwardly, trying to cover up the silence.

"When should we get there? No one ever says anything about the time, huh. It's always 'at night' but does that mean after the sun goes down or... what?"

Sho had almost forgotten Haruka was there until she spoke up just then. He turned away from Suzume to meet the other girl’s eyes, grateful for the interruption. He didn’t want to address what happened with Suzume just yet. He would rather take some time alone later to think it over.

“Well I suggested midnight,” Sho said. “I guess we could plan to meet there a little earlier so we can discuss our battle plan. I suggest we all take the time between now and then to think it over. Besides,” Sho jabbed a thumb at Toby. “Toby said he has to go to work, so we shouldn’t keep him around much longer. How about it, then? Does that sound good to everyone?”

Toby is such an easy target for Sho's teasing XD

"Not nearly as pretty? Who are you speaking to, young man? You shouldn't say such things among ladies."

“Oh?” Sho said. “I thought it was pretty clear that I was talking about this guy.” He swung an arm around Toby’s shoulders. The poor kid was almost literally shaking with social-anxiety. He needed to loosen up some. Girls were just people too, after all. He never understood why some guys got so nervous around them.

“I mean, unless you think he’s pretty,” Sho shrugged. He narrowed his eyes at Toby, pretending to look him over. “Well, I suppose if you put a little makeup on him…” He cast the terrified boy a mischievous grin. “All in good time, my friend.” He let go of Toby’s shoulders and dropped his arm back down at his side.

“But I jest,” Sho said, waving a hand casually. “Anywho, I agree that there’s safety in numbers. I also think it’s more fun to share the haunting experience, y’know? Plus, if we meet a bloodthirsty ghoul, I can just trip one of you and make my grand escape. There’s an old saying: ‘I don’t have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you.’ Very wise.” He nodded thoughtfully. “I volunteer Toby as tribute to distract the hungry ghost. All in favor?” Sho raised his hand and looked at the others expectantly.

D E A T H N O T E – "Who, me?"

Sorry it took so long! Here's the next post :)

D E A T H N O T E – "Who, me?"

X listened in amusement at the other detectives’ deductions. They all had valid points. He had to disagree with Y, though. Considering they had no clue how Kira killed his victims, that L girl’s analysis was not as obvious as he implied. He thought it was a brilliant deduction, especially since it came from a ten year old. X was also intrigued by the notion that Kira was among them. He had toyed with the idea, himself, on the way to the meeting. What if Kira was hiding among the detectives, just waiting for the opportunity to kill them off one by one? It was a cunning way to get rid of one’s enemies.

“Considering the fact that we all are very secretive about ourselves,” X mused aloud, leaning back in his chair again and rocking in it. “Isn’t it possible that Kira could have already killed one of the detectives who was supposed to meet here today, and is impersonating him? Given his record of finding classified information, I think it’s possible. I mean, we didn’t have any idea what anyone else looked like before we met here, so Kira could have slipped in and we’d be none the wiser.” He paused, sweeping his gaze over the other detectives’ faces to judge their reactions. “It makes sense. Here is a group of Kira’s greatest intellectual rivals. If he had an opportunity to infiltrate and get rid of us, why wouldn’t he take it?”

The police chief held up his hands in another completely unnecessary gesture to calm everyone down. He waited until he felt like he had everyone’s full attention. X got the impression he was a very self-important guy. He dropped his front chair legs back onto the carpeted floor and looked at the chief expectantly.

“Now,” the chief said, clearing his throat loudly. “I merely called this first meeting to hear your initial thoughts on the case, not point fingers or start a witch-hunt. I was hoping you’d all get along,” he glared at the detectives in turn. “But it seems that is not going to happen. Anyways, now that the first part is over, I’d like to hear what you think the best methods are for capturing Kira. I think I speak for everyone when I say we want him brought to justice as quickly as possible.”

---

M sighed under his breath. The chief had just said he wanted them to get along, but asking for the separate opinions of eleven detectives –all of whom think they are the most important person in the room– was just asking for a fight. He already had a plan, but he wasn’t about to share it with these people. Instead, he just sat back to watch the chaos ensue.
