D E A T H N O T E – "Who, me?"

"I must disagree with you, Signore," Q said in response to G's assertion that the files had been stolen. As he spoke, he began miming an aggressive advance of chess pieces in front of him. "If this Kira is any bit as clever as the last, he wouldn't be foolish enough to possess enormous amounts of classified data and paperwork relating to the case. There is too much potential for a security leak, too much potential potential for a witness. If he were caught with even a portion of it, that would be checkmate. However, simply leaving the files untouched would give us a distinct advantage in tracking him down, so he would want to deal with them in some way, assuming he does have the power to do so." He paused a moment and turned the invisible board in front of him around; now he was playing on the other side. "Ensuring their destruction would level the playing field without leaving any evidence, and while it is possible that he may have gotten a brief glance at the data, I imagine it would be too much for him to sift through in a timely fashion. It would be safer just to test his new power. Still, I do agree that the probability is high that we are dealing with somebody in law enforcement."

D E A T H N O T E – "Who, me?"

Q periodically looked up from his little notebook to see the other detectives entering the room, who ranged from a little girl to grown men. The mean age was lower than he expected, and the variety of characters... well he wasn't exactly surprised. Great minds did tend to be eccentric after all, and his little notebook of chess notation proved that he was no exception. One of two things could happen with this group: their diverse talents and mindsets would be pooled together to bring Kira to swift justice, or their minds would wrestle in a cacophony of dissonance bringing the investigation to a crashing halt. However, Q's time for speculation was cut short as the Tokyo police chief walked in, announcing the oh-so-obvious purpose of the meeting.

Q did as he was instructed and pulled out the paperwork regarding the Kira killings. As he thought about the names and causes of death, his right hand hovered in front of him over the table, as if he was preparing to pick up a chess piece. "Well, allow me to be the first to state the obvious. Since we have a copycat killer the probability should be high that we are dealing with somebody with either a history of violence or some kind of mental disorder. That is how these things tend to play out. With that said, I also think the probability is high that this is an exception to the rule. The ability to commit murder like this is truly bizarre, thus I don't think statistics that measure typical behaviors will apply here." Here, the motions of his hand changed. Was he dropping Go pieces now? "Since the case is so bizarre, I think we ought to divert our attention away from how the murders are being carried out and towards whom he is killing. Kira may be able to hide his methods, but he cannot hide his results, and in those results there will be a pattern, and a pattern beyond 'he's killing bad guys.' So, have we found any patterns?"

D E A T H N O T E – "Who, me?"

Q strolled into the Tokyo headquarters with a distinguished stride, paying no mind to the receptionist's greeting. He simply looked along the walls for a map, but when he saw that they were too cluttered with announcements and public safety information he reluctantly resorted to asking for directions. He flashed his ID card and said curtly, "4D," tapping his foot impatiently as the girl scrutinized the card as if she knew what they were supposed to look like. Soon -- but not soon enough -- a look of realization dawned on her and she quickly provided Q with the directions. "Oh yes, you can take the elevator there, and the conference room will be down the hall." Q proceeded without a "thank you" and eventually came to the room where he hoped he would find some people worth talking to.

He opened the door and saw two young men, perhaps only a bit younger than himself, sitting at the table. One appeared to be dressed properly, but the other... well, he just hoped that his intellect had more to offer than his fashion sense. "Good day gentlemen," he said as he took a seat and set a briefcase down on the table in front of him, which was primarily filled with documentation on all of the suspected Kira victims thus far. He spoke in Japanese because, well, when in Rome right? But, although he could communicate just fine in the language he was still a bit shy of fluidity, and he really only knew textbook Japanese. Hopefully, his time in the country would remedy that. He was certain that there would be more than just three people on this case, so he figured they would be waiting for a bit while the others arrived. He stretched his back, and then took out a small leather-bound notebook and pen from the pocket of his coat. "Please excuse me. I trust it will be a few minutes before the others arrive, but I get anxious if I let my mind idle for too long." He opened up the book and wrote down "Nc6," then appeared to be in thought. "By all means speak freely though. Having distractions makes good practice."

D E A T H N O T E – "Who, me?"

One more question: will our detectives already know the basics, like the fact that Kira needs a name and a face, or will they still be working on that.

D E A T H N O T E – "Who, me?"

Appearance:

Q

Alias: Q

Age: 22

Role: Detective

Personality: An ambitious and hardworking young man, though he has a bit of a rude streak. He's quick to point out the flaws of others, and dismissive of other's criticisms of him, however, he can back up his talk with his keen intellect. He absolutely hates resorting to physical violence and will turn to diplomacy or bargaining first, even in hostile environments. However, those that make him cross the line into violence will find find him remarkably unforgiving. This has earned him a reputation that makes those who know of him inclined to take one of his offers sooner rather than later.

Why he/she took the Kira case: Q has already achieved the highest status that solving localized cases can give him. He sees the Kira case as a World Cup of sorts, as a way of challenging his abilities to their utmost and cementing his place in history as one of the greatest detectives of all time. Plus, he just loves a good challenge.

Other: Q is a respectable marksman and has trained in various forms of practical self-defense, but he does not pride himself on his athleticism. He enjoys playing games of strategy, including Chess, Go, and Poker, and can often be seen playing games against himself, since it is so difficult for him to find a decent opponent.

Death Note RP (with a twist!)

Ooo. Two Kiras. So, how are you going to decide who gets to be Kira? Will it be randomly selected, or do you have another method of picking?

Death Note RP (with a twist!)

Well, I would imagine that we would all have aliases. Perhaps we would all be represented by digital avatars too to protect both our names and our faces. So, Kira would need to find a way to get us to expose ourselves much like L was forced to do, and then utilize Shinigami eyes to obtain our names, without doing so after immediately meeting one in person to avoid suspicion.

I think Nikuya just opened Pandora's Box. lol.

Death Note RP (with a twist!)

This definitely looks like it could be fun. Count me interested.
