[closed] I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each
Who: L Lawliet (Linden Tailor) and Alex Benedetto
When: Evening of 3/30
Where: Out and about, ending up at Alex's place
What: L's living situation is transient at the moment. Mello's crush catches him dozing in public and wants to feed him a hot meal.
Warnings: None planned! Will update if needed.
[Lately, L's routine has settled into something a little more stable and content. He spends time with his one healthy Bonded, but not too much time; in L's experience, the more people get to know him, the more they dislike him. He wants to keep Myr in his life, and so his current approach is careful, steady, back off before you become an intolerable presence to the person who still somehow cares about you.
Mello, rather, is a Bond he deserves... but that's a volatile and complicated situation at the best of times. Better to stay away entirely, for now, and the result is that while L's work and studies are flourishing, finding a reliable place to rest his head is once again difficult. He tends to go until he can't, and then pay for an inn or drop in on Myr, if enough time has passed that it feels like an acceptable imposition, but occasionally, even just taking a moment to take a load off can become a dangerous slip-up.
His form is recognizable even from a distance, slumped slightly on a park bench, perhaps appearing deep in thought at first glance. Closer scrutiny reveals that he is nearly chin-to-chest, dozing.]

So segregation exists in your world, too. What do the people who get treated the worst have in common, that they can't help?
[He murmurs it, taking longer breaks between bites because he's no longer so ravenously famished.
As with all questions about himself and his life, he answers carefully.]
There aren't any nonhuman monsters where Mello and I are from. The technology is more modern, though... not so much as what some have reported using in their pre-mirror lives. Magic exists in stories, but... only clever illusions, in reality. There are countries, with... governments, and law enforcement, and criminals, and they're always at war with one another.
[L didn't actually answer the question, about what life was like for him, specifically. Maybe by design.]
