I like them. They're a great carrier, and I haven't had much of a problem with them at all, until Verizon bought them. Damn this merger.

Since Alltel has been sold to what I consider the worst of all carriers, Verizon, I have had more trouble than I could have ever expected. Half of the time, my phone never rings when I am being called, then I have a missed call a day later. My text messages aren't being delivered when I send them, but hours, sometimes days later, and it has taken to dropping calls without reason. This is especially the case when talking with my fiancée. For some reason, our calls rarely stay connected and simply end without warning, leaving us trying desperately to reach on another for extended periods of time. I have been able to handle this fairly well, but today Alltel/Verizon crossed the line.

My payment is due on the 16th of each month, and has been since I started with Alltel. However, this month my statement said that I had until the 31st. I thought it was a print error, and called the automated system several times to check the validity of this date. I assumed that with the merger, maybe they changed the date. It made little sense to me, but since I had it in print as well as repeat recordings confirming it, I thought it to be true. Boy, was I wrong because last night my nightly sleep call with Stef ended and we couldn't reach one another. Both of us figured that it was the same as it had been, our phones just refusing to connect with each other, but this morning I called her and was asked politely by a recording to contact customer service. Why didn't I have service? It made no sense to me either. I did as I was instructed to do and spoke to a very nice lady by the name of Juanita. She was very helpful, but she didn't solve my problem. I still had no service.

Apparently, because of the merger, the dates were changed in error, but those jerks at Verizon wouldn't cut me slack for their mistake. My service was still disconnected because I trusted their date. So, I had to pay the balance due to establish service once more. I hadn't budgeted this week, but did so as I must have my phone. I need it for work, school, and because Stef is so far from me.

Seriously, I love Alltel, but I loathe Verizon. Those greedy jerks couldn't me one favor and it was their fault. Grr...

I kid.

I miss you all. I love you all and I hate not being online regularly. You have no idea. I have no connection. I don't know when I will again. If it weren't for my lovely fiance, I'd be pulling out my hair. Have you taken a look at her gallery, by the way?

Here's the skinny:

*I begin work at Wal-Mart Tuesday. Yay for baking!
*Classes are going well. Next quarter begins on Monday.
*Looking for an apartment to share with mom.
*Some lady just caught these guys looking up porn here at the library.

Other than that, nothing else. *thinks* Wait, Bear has indeed defeated my ugly pants.

That being said, here is the update on my current situation:

I am living with my cousin and her family. Marsha and Brian have taken me in because it was on such short notice. They have three beautiful children and I am looking forward to spending time with them all. The house is very small as Brian is in the process of building it. We are a little cramped. I have no connection right now. I’ve been coming to Kay’s and to the computer lab. That is how I’ve been able to get online, but it cuts into my social online time greatly. I wish it didn’t. I miss you all very much. When I am online, I have been signing into AIM via Meebo. If you see me, IM me. I’d love to hear how you’re doing.

I’m very happy right now because I am not being subjected to drama.

Also, I have to fill my days with joy. (Bear, I love you.)

These are the rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. People tagged must post 8 things each about themselves in their journals.
3. Tag six people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs.

This is me obeying them:
1. I actually like being tagged, but it rarely happens. >>
2. I found some chocolate on sale last week and bought 23 packages. I froze some of them.
3. I was almost kicked out of high school for insubordination and truancy.
4. I want to scuba dive and ride an airboat before I die. My girlfriend wants to skydive. I'm too chicken.
5. I sing in my sleep.
6. I hated The Dark Knight. Sorry.
7. I learned to walk before I learned to crawl. (I never crawled. I rolled around on the floor.)
8. I used to be afraid of the theme song from Cheers.

This is the tagged people:


Sorry guys, these are the rules and I am a slave to them.

However, this mocha filled chocolate was delicious and if you like coffee and chocolate, try it. It was from Godiva and came in this international pack. There's Venezuela chocolate, and some Swiss chocolate filled with a vanilla creme. That was pretty good as well.

Oh, Godiva, you are no Meiji, but you do make me happy.

Also, to anyone who's been wondering where is, she's having connection issues. Knowing how technology can screw us over, I am sure you understand.

]]> ~dinette82 http://dinette82.deviantart.com/journal/19766073/ http://dinette82.deviantart.com/journal/19766073/ Mon, 04 Aug 2008 07:36:41 PDT , you were terribly missed and I couldn't stop thinking about you.) Oddly enough, the two people I wanted to come more than anything, couldn't. Regardless, they both had good, valid reasons for being unable and I understand entirely. There is always next year.

Problem number two came at 7:30AM when I woke to find that I'd overslept by an hour and a half. I rushed to the shower and hurried as fast as I could, and then my uncle, who was driving, called to say that the car we were planning to take broke down the night before and he was trying to find us a vehicle. Because we'd already bought tickets, VIP ones at that, we couldn't miss it. I refuse to buy those VIP passes for the Emerald Club Lounge and not use them. Finally, at 9:30, he called to say that he was on his way but we had to take the car's owner with us, and I cannot stand this man. He's always trying to touch me and I'm always making fun of him. I warned Colin that if he touched me or made one attempt, he was getting a boot to the head; it worked.

We hit the third hitch in the road when we arrived in Columbus in that tiny cramped up car. (Ashley was practically sitting on my lap, and her brothers were doing the same on the other side of her.) I'm not sure how many of you have been through Columbus, Ohio, but if you haven't, let me just try to explain how confusing the interstate is that is routed through it. I-270 is a big loop around the city, I-70 and I-71 go directly through the center of it and have about 36 exits for Cincinnati, and Dayton. There is one for Cleveland, and one for Dublin, which is where we were going. Now, I have been to Dublin several times. I have been through Columbus several times. I know how to get where we were going. No one else in the car knew where we were or how Columbus is routed so I was the navigator. However, because I was forced to sit in the back because Colin had to go, I was cramped and couldn't see the road. I was trying to bark direction and exit numbers over the sounds of screaming teenagers and Colin's mouth, but Bobby couldn't hear me and we ended up taking one of the Cincinnati exits and wound up on the far southwest side of Columbus at the State fair.

It goes without saying that I was peeved. We were already late and if everyone would have kept their mouths shut, I could have had us there, but they didn't. Forced to stop at McDonald's we had to ask the cop directing traffic how to get to our destination because I had no idea where we were. Luckily, Bobby understood these ones and got us where we were going without fail...until it became time to park. He wasted another 45 minutes trying to find a parking spot instead of going where I told him to park. Luckily, he did park where I suggested after growing frustrated with the other places.

Other than that, we had no major problem with anything else except I realized half way through everything that I forgot to pack an SD card for my camera. I was running late and hurried. So, that is why the festival pictures are so few this year. :/

As always, the shows were fantastic. It was my first time seeing Scythian and they blew me away. They were very energetic and added an eastern European flair to all of their music. Not to mention that they were a great group of guys to meet and really liked to talk. One of the members, Leks, noticed the shirt I was wearing (The Cake is a Lie made by ), and flipped out. He wasn't sure what it meant, but thought it was funny. I explained it to him and he wanted to know where I got it and how much it cost me. He wanted one and right away. He offered me a free band t-shirt in exchange for it, but because it was a gift, I would not part with it. Check them out at [link]

I waited at the Celtic Rock stage from 2pm to 8:30 to see The Prodigals. They were the second to last band to play and the most impressive. The three newest members, Darren Maloney, Chris Higginbottom, and Dave Fahy fit right in as if they'd always been members and the crowd welcomed them with open arms. Dave Fahy did a fantastic version of "Ride On" (Christy Moore did the original. I recommend you check it out.) and it brought a tear to my eye.

From personal experience, European chocolate is much better than any other I've ever had, save for Meiji from Japan. I have had chocolate from several countries around the world; including, but not limited to Ireland, England, Canada, Japan, Ghana, Ecuador, Finland, Sweden, Dominican Republic, and Mexico. I've tasted various types; milk, white, fruit flavored, mixed with nuts or nougat, and dark chocolate up to 80% cacao. I must have chocolate every day and have been known to eat hot chocolate powder dry from the pack or shave off a chunk of baker's chocolate just to satiate my craving. Perhaps it's abnormal to be that addicted, but I cannot help myself.

Chocolate, while it is said to be bad for the skin, has many benefits. It is a natural pain reliever. It is a natural aphrodisiac. It's loaded with antioxidants, only dark chocolate, mind you. It releases endorphines as well as serotonin, which is a natural anti-depressant. Despite all these wonderful things and then some, chocolate has been blamed for may health problems.

Fortunately, scientists are beginning to disprove some common myths about the dangers of eating too much chocolate. For example, it is not true that eating chocolate can cause acne or make it worse. Nor is chocolate the threat to healthy teeth that it was once thought to be. While both cocoa and chocolate contain sugar, they also have properties that work against sugar's tendency to produce the oral bacteria that eventually leads to dental decay. In fact, researchers have concluded that milk chocolate is one of the snack foods that is least likely to contribute to tooth decay, since it contains phosphate and other minerals.

So, I will eat my chocolate. I will eat it and love every last ounce of it. Chocolate, to me, is better than any drug available. It makes me feel a-okay and it's legal. Maybe it is going to my arteries and perhaps it's not good for me in the amount that I eat, but I dare you to stop me.

There will be an entire carload of us. Geez. It will be chaos. The entertainment line up is pretty promising this year as well. Dublin is boasting such great acts as Gaelic Storm and the Prodigals, my two personal favorites, as well as Scythian, Homeland, Makem and Spain Bros., and Brother. I guess the Gaelic Football is supposed to be larger this year, but I don't pay much attention to the sports other than the caber toss. Unless it's a music act or something at Brian Boru's Ireland, I usually don't pay much attention.

This will be my second year of sober festing. I must say that I enjoyed it much better than I did when I was drinking. I ended up with better pictures and some great video footage. Not to mention, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the Prodigals the first time I saw them like I had. This year I assume it will be just as great, but most likely better if everything goes as planned.

I'm looking forward to it and my advanced apologies to my watchers who don't want to see a huge flood of festival performer photos, especially Gregory Grene and Patrick Murphy, in their updates. I will have plenty of them to upload on Sunday and Monday.

The contents of said packages are as follows:

*The Silent Hill OSTs
*1 Meiji Chocolate Bar
*1 Morinaga Chocolate Bar
*A rosary that resembles Mello's rosary.
*A Mello wall scroll
*Another Note (which I am only borrowing)
*A card
*A claddagh ring that I am wearing with the crown facing outward to signify relationship status.

I made a video that I am uploading on YouTube of me opening them and you can see how frustrated I am with the tape on the package. I think the guy at the post office was spiteful and didn't want me to have them. He kept flirting with her and she made it clear they were coming to me. XD

Thank you, . I love everything in the packages and I love you most of all. It's too bad you couldn't fit inside those boxes, huh?

]]> ~dinette82 http://dinette82.deviantart.com/journal/19477689/ http://dinette82.deviantart.com/journal/19477689/ Sat, 19 Jul 2008 06:30:53 PDT . The dinner was nice and I did doubled the $20 bucks I gambled (I came home with $41.50.), but it felt lacking because she wasn't there with me to make it fun. I would have much rather been home or on the phone with her than out. The food was nice, but I mostly ate strawberries because they reminded me of her.

The only major highlight was this horrible dress some lady at the roulette table was wearing and JR and I called her Bjork. It was white terrycloth and had a tube top, but it was too large for her and it hung down in the back so that her black bra showed. The bottom of it had flamingos on it, and it was terribly faded. We laughed for the longest time about it, but I wish that my bear would have been with me to see it. Words cannot describe this monstrosity of a frock.

Also, it was seafood night and I kept getting hit with crab. Aundine, JR's wife, hit me with her crab legs as she cracked them and then a little old lady two tables away sent a huge piece to the side of my head. Everyone saw it and I was the source of entertainment for the tables around us. As funny as it was, it still felt empty without her there.

Afterward, we stopped at Wal-Mart so they could pick up a new TV and it was so damn big, the box (Thank Kira it was a flat screen instead of a standard TV), had to lay on my chest for the hour drive home. My collarbone was crushed and I had an L shaped imprint on my chest too.

The night should have been fun, but the absolute best and most enjoyable part of the night was coming home to call her. I don't know how late it was when we fell asleep, but I do know that I talked myself to sleep. When I woke up, the phone was still laying on the side of my face. XD Did I pass out first?

I was still checking journals and favoriting works. I haven't updated or done much on my own gallery since last week. I am sorry for the half-truth of my last journal entry. It wasn't intentional. I got carried away with things and now I have the time, sorta. XD

Now to explain...

Suddenly, last week, my mother informed me that we were moving out in the middle of nowhere in this old cottage with no access to anything. It is 15 miles away from any corporation limit and the closest neighbor is at least 5 miles away. There is no phone out there and I would have no internet access at all. Not only that, it was a 2 bedroom place and there would have been 5 of us living there. No. I can't live like that. This place was in need of so much work. The walls are yellowed with age. The carpet needs replaced. One of the bedrooms doesn't even have a door! I can't do it!

With my recent decision to go back to school, I especially can't go. I've got to have a decent connection and a life style that isn't primitive. Luckily for me, my cousin JR and his wife offered me their spare room and freedom to do as I please for as long as I am going to school. All they ask is that I pay for my own things, clean up after myself, and take care of the cat while they are on the road. He drives truck and she goes with him for two weeks out of the month. SOLITUDE!!!

The major I have decided upon is Advertising and once my bajillion classes at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh is complete, I'll be set. ^_^

On another note, my house phone decided to die today. There is something screwed up with the line. I can't receive calls, and only half of my outgoing calls work, but the DSL works just fine. I need a new phone company and a new ISP. I hate ATT. I hate them and have no other option in rural Woodsuck. Luckily, I have a cell and the Internet still works for the time being. However, I have a feeling that will crap out before too long. :/ Is anyone familiar with Sage Telecom? I'm considering them.

I finally got to try Meiji Ice Fran. It's like Pocky you put in the freezer. It lasted one day. Now that I think about it, it was less than a day, but even still, I had Ice Fran and it was awesome. Buy it. Try it.

Fandom ramble:
If I see one more L/Light art or fic, I'll puke! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this is mine. As a Light writer, I know for a fact how manipulative he can be. I know how much he likes to make people do as he pleases and how he uses mind games to achieve his goals. I am well aware of this. However, Light Yagami is a genius. He would not need to use sex as a tool to beat L. It is different with Misa because she is not on the same intellectual level as Light and L. The mind games do not work with her because she doesn't want the mental stimulation. Both L and Light enjoy a challenge, and a sexual relationship would not benefit either of them. I don't think L has much interest in sex, if any, and Light gives me an extremely heterosexual vibe. The way he used Misa and Takada clearly display that, and didn't Light sleep with Misa during one point of the manga? In fact, he had to do it sometime to keep her happy. I think that if he stooped to that level, L would instantly see it as a further reason to suspect him as Kira and toss him back into a cell. If L tried it, Light would have Misa make the eye trade and off him. Light wants L dead; L wants Light convicted. That's it. End of story. As I said, this is my opinion. Hate me if you want.

made an extended rant about this and covered many other problems in the DN fandom. I recommend you check it out. It said everything I have been thinking

Second fandom ramble:
Why? Why, oh, why can I not find much good Riddler art? I love Ed Nigma. I LOVE him and can't seem to find anything that tickles my Riddler bone. He's bonkers. He's funny. He's amusing. He's a genius. He's dramatic. He's gifted with words. Why does it seem that I am the only person who loves that redheaded loon? (I prefer him with red hair like Jim Carey in Batman Forever, but I prefer Frank Gorshin's portrayal in the TV series.) The Joker is everywhere and while he's a WONDERFUL villain, he isn't anywhere near as entertaining as Ed Nigma. Look, if any artist out there wishes to do something for me for my birthday on the 21, I would love a riddler art. He doesn't have to be all pretty and perfect. Just make him crazy! That's what I want. I want Ed!

Third, and final, fandom ramble:
This isn't strictly for one fandom, but all of them. Why is it that every character in every fandom has to be homosexual or bisexual when they are written in fanfic or RP? I am not heterosexual myself and this is not an attempt to come off homophobic. I simply do not understand why everyone feels the need to slash together every one of their favorite characters and risk the feel of reality in it. Mind you, I love a good slash pairing and have a few muses myself that are either homosexual or bisexual. (A look through my gallery proves it via all the MxM) However, it seems to be that the reality is lost in the fanservice. In reality, there are more heterosexual couples than homosexual, at least publicly. Also, there is hatred and discrimination against the LGBT community that no one seems to write out. I've seen so much acceptance in these works and none of the problems that we face. None of it is present! Why? Why is reality so hard to reflect in in art and prose? Is it too difficult to embrace? I hate the reality of it, but how else can we be positive without seeing the reality first?

Perhaps I'm bitchy and cynical. I'm sorry. It is how I feel and it needed to be said.

1. Matt is not a dog. He is a free thinking individual with the ability to do as he wishes. I don't think Mello would like him following him around and trying to get in his pants every ten seconds. He'd quickly get annoyed. I'm tired of collars, ears, tails and leashes.

2. L/Light. Why must rival pairings be so popular? This one especially? Light is set on having L's name to write him in the Death Note. L is set on catching Light and convicting him. I can't see this ever working. I doubt the last things on their minds is sexing each other. I especially don't see a fluffy hearts and flowers romance between them. I don't ever imagine L being overly seductive. I can't agree on any of it and the next time I see L in a wedding dress, hanging onto Light, I'm going to scalp someone. The only way this is even partially plausible is if they use it as a tactic to confuse the other and get him to give something away. Even still, both are far too intelligent to reduce themselves to seduction as a tactic. This shit is everywhere and I was tired of seeing it before I joined the fandom.

3. Mikami lusting Light. While I enjoy this pairing for it's aesthetic quality, I find it unrealistic. They look pretty together and that's why people pair them, but Mikami thinks that Light is God. How many religious people have you seen that wants to fuck their God? Seriously! It's ridiculous to assume that Kira worshipers would do the same. Show me a person who lusts after their supreme being and I'll look and read whatever cracky Light/Mikami smut you want. Hell, I'll buy you a commission of it.

4. Mello/Near I hate this for the same reasons that I hate L/Light.

5. Anything that insinuates that any of the male characters are crossdressers. The only one I can imagine even considering this is Mello, and even that is a very unlikely thing. He might wear black nail polish, and I can imagine him wearing eyeliner, but that does not make him desire to wear dresses. There's nothing wrong with it. In fact, I love to see that type of thing, but I don't see it coming from any of the men in Death Note.

6. Misa/Mello Where is there even grounds for this? Where? Matt mentions that he'd like to be watching Misa, but that isn't grounds enough.

7. No suspenseful DN style plots in fics. Only romantic storylines and humor. Let's not forget the first reason we are attracted to DN in the first place is that it keeps us guessing with it's complex and surprising plot twists. It's not about feelings and romance, and while the characters are human and have those things, it's frustrating to see only those things in fiction and RP.

8. People calling Rem a guy. Everything clearly states she is female. Just because she isn't built like a human female doesn't mean that she has a peen.

9. Wammy's Kids Vore Just because they're all super intelligent kids who are a bit awkward does not mean they get off on eating people.

10. Abusive Mello No. No. No. He might be temperamental. He might be violent. He might have outbursts, but I don't believe that he'd abuse people that he needs. I can't fathom the thought of him cutting loose on someone he considers a friend.


Now, all of that being said, I know you may ask how I can be opposed to so many pairings, but be a large Matt/Mello supporter. That's because I find substantial reason in canon to support the pairing. I find it aesthetically pleasing, and I like the dynamic of their personalities in interacting together. It is the only plausible slash pairing I can find in the series, save for B/L.

If you don't like it, that's fine and dandy. You are entitled to that, just as I am entitled to this.

Thank you and goodnight,
Heather

To the person who decided to out me:

I know what you said. I know what you did. I know you twisted my words and tried to make them perverse. I know you tried to turn others against me by taking the words listed on my profile and spreading them like wildfire. I know you thought it would put a feather in your hat, so to speak, by making me sound like some sick perverse person. I should be angry with you for this, but I'm not.

In fact, I want to thank you.

I want to thank you for opening your mouth. Had you not done it, my family would have many unanswered questions about me. Had you not done it, I wouldn't have felt the need to explain myself to them. I never intended to deny it if the subject ever arose, but I never planned to set out and tell them. I know it is probably very stupid of me to assume that it would never happen, but I did. The truth is, I've always known, but I never admitted it to myself until this last couple of years. I knew back as a teenager when I babysat for you. I knew when I repared your PC. I knew when you confided in me all those times about your inner fears. I am still that same person. I have not changed. The only difference is that I'm honest about it now.

Before you decided to hate me, I'd like to explain a little about pansexuality and what it means. Seeing that you are not of an alternative sexuality, it's probably a new concept to you. You are under the assumption that people are either straight, gay, or bisexual. You probably assume that there are three set sexualities and bisexual means that there is an equal attraction to both male and female sexes. It's fine to feel that way. Lots of people do because they have not been exposed to anything of the sort. Those three types are the basic explanation of sexuality, but it's a spectrum of sexuality that most fall into. Bisexuality varies from person to person. While attracted to both sexes, some have a stronger attraction to one sex over the other.

I, sadly, do not fall into any of those archaic and outdated beliefs of sexuality. I wish I did because maybe you'd understand. For me there is a completely other concept that comes into play; gender.

Gender and sex are two separate things. Sex is the organ between a persons thighs. Gender is how a person identifies themselves. Gender, like sexuality, is in a spectrum and changes from person to person. These traits that make a person typically male or female are found sporadically throughout people. No one is strictly male or female as we all have traits of the opposite sex. For example, women wear pants. That used to be taboo. The amount of traits possessed varies from person to person. Because of this concept, I cannot say that I am attracted to both genders because there aren't only two genders; there are too many genders to count.

This is how I define myself as pansexual. Bisexuality crosses out so many people because they aren't strictly male or female. Andgrogyous types, genderqueers, agenders...they're all beautiful. I don't even see a physical sex or gender when I look at a person. I see a person. I see a spirit and a personality first, the gender second, and the sex last. I admire all forms of people for their physical presence, yes, but it is the spirit and personality that I admire first and foremost. If I were to meet a person whose spirit was so beautiful that I fell in love with them, and that person happened to be female, I would gladly accept the relationship. I would accept every aspect of it.

I refuse to believe that everyone falls into one of two categories. I refuse to believe that I have to love or be attracted to one type of person. I cannot and will not accept it.

Now, before you run and decide that I'm crazy, I have one more thing to say. Alternate sexuality is not a disease. Alternate sexuality is not contagious. Alternate sexuality does not make someone a predator or a pervert. You are simply attacking me because you are afraid of what you don't know. This concept is new to you and it scares you. I forgive you for spreading your rumors and gossip about me. I forgive you because you don't understand. I am still the same person and I don't think less of you. I just want you to know that I am happy to finally be honest about who I am and if you hadn't said what you said, I wouldn't be.

Call me gay. It's not an insult. Call me bi. It's not an insult. Call me a lesbian. I'm no... ]]> ~dinette82 http://dinette82.deviantart.com/journal/18350974/ http://dinette82.deviantart.com/journal/18350974/ Fri, 16 May 2008 12:03:58 PDT

The game is set two weeks after L's death in which he staged for purposes of this AU RPG. Many characters are still available.


Hearts are full of memories but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device, even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving with but a shadow of what one hoped to remember…

With L erased from the equation, Light Yagami was under the belief that he’d won. The world’s greatest detective wasn’t immortal, he wasn’t all powerful; he was a memory that would soon fade. When one stripped away the brain, they were left with nothing. L Lawliet was nothing when it came to what his brain couldn’t solve and while he’d been the absolute adversary, L had run his course; it was Kira’s time now… his time to shine and reign over the new world. The new world he had created.

But Death was meant to last forever.

It was L that defeated it.

A cataleptic is meant to last an hour, two at the most.

It was Watari that created it.

In the end, not only was his soul purpose in the Kira case to cheat the Death Note, cheat death itself, but to cheat the Devil—cheat Kira. To defeat him entirely. But he knew he couldn’t emerge, not yet. He needed to wait. A replica had been placed in L’s place; it was Mike Rogers that was buried where L Lawliet should’ve been. It was Mike Rogers funeral that Light Yagami had attended, unaware that the dead body lying below was a young criminal, a fake L.

It is Justice that has more power than anything else, but Light Yagami didn’t see that. Not the power in strength, but in kindness.

Kindness.

For two weeks Justice hid in the shadows. Two weeks the ever resistant kindness fought Kira from the sidelines and no one was any the wiser.

To everyone, the great detective L was dead.

To a handful he was alive.

It was November 19th that L Lawliet emerged. Two weeks after his death he returned to claim his position as L; as Justice. He wasn’t alone this time. Mello, Matt, Near reclaimed their positions at his side. Together they were unbeatable.

Kira would fail.

L would triumph.

Justice would prevail.

However, neither L nor Kira were prepared to face the trials that were ahead, neither were prepared… no one was.

The protagonist and the antagonist were forced to band together.

In Justice’s name, Amen.
