Second feather [Video-phone / Monday afternoon]

[charcoalfeather]

[Out and about in the city, Rakka was walking down the streets, wrapped in winter clothes and trying to avoid any contact with anyone. The introduction to the numbers club had made her even more apprehensive of others than before, if that was even possible. All of the information that traveled through her mind sent shivers down her spine. She was in a battle now, whether she wanted to be or not. Stopping in front of a store, she stared at the window for a moment, trying to figure out what she was supposed to do.]

[The network opens and the screen focuses on a store window, a small nativity scene set up in the window. A tiny manger, with a tiny baby, surrounded by tiny shepards, and a tiny flock of angels. The screen then moves, obscured by a finger, until it finally settles on Rakka's face. She doesn't seem to be sleeping well, which is likely a common side-effect of discovering that you're a reincarnate of someone else.]

Okay, so Christmas is coming soon. I'm still pretty new to this whole... numbers thing and all, so I have to know.

What's it like during the winter here? Is there going to be some kind of Christmas invasion I'll have to look out for now? Some information a few days in advance would be nice.

Huh. Hey, I just saw that display. I'm not too far - wanna meet me, Rakka?

[L is passing by when he notices the girl, just as his phone buzzes to alert him of a new post on the enigmatic numbers network. He recognizes her from her last post, and his footsteps slow.

He is a shabby creature, too pale and too thin, with dark eyes that are glazed and glassy. He looks like he hasn't combed his hair in days, and his blue coat has a tear in the shoulder that no one has bothered to mend.

Though he knows that he has something in common with this girl (the numbers club), striking up conversations was never his strong point.]

Have you ever noticed that in nativity scenes, there is never any blood from the childbirth in sight?

[Yeah. That's what I mean.]

[Being playful and flippant, not overtly teasing.]

[Winter, that is. Apparently.]

[Totally the best place to start, totally.]
