Mimic returned to the taskforce building with Rem floating silently by her side.
"At least the shinigami hasn't killed her yet." B commented rather happily earning a dubious glance from L.
"L and B, I would like to speak with you both first." Mimic began, ignoring B's comment.
The two lookalikes exchange curious glances as Mimic pulled a key out to L's chain and unlocked it "Watari gave me the spare key after I was freed from my own chain" she explained happily as she kicked Light and Misa out of the room and into the care of Watari. "Okay firstly, the shinigami is called Rem and she has informed me that death notes can often enter this word after being dropped. Whether on purpose or by accident is a different matter however..."
L nodded looking at Rem "And you dropped yours on purpose... might I ask why?"
Rem considered how to respond for a moment "I will tell you part of the reason; I had recently come into ownership of a second notebook and as I only have need for one I decided to drop it into your world..."
B laughed "So technically you are still in possession of your own death note and could very well kill us right now?"
Rem nodded. "It is true that I possess the ability to kill you at this moment of time."
L thought for a second taking the death note from Mimic he examined the rules "Could you tell us if the rules in the death note are the same for all of them... or preferably if we could compare them to your own death note."
"I'm afraid it is impossible for you to inspect my own death note."
"Why?" L demanded rather annoyed at the shinigami's refusal.
"It would result in me being bound to this realm until whoever touched it first died and I could reclaim it." she explained calmly.
"I see." L mumbled.
Mimic frowned "What about the other shinigami?"
Rem glanced at her "it is not impossible for more than one shinigami to have dropped their notebook."
B sighed, irritated "so you expect us to believe that you have no clue who this other shinigami is and where their notebook is currently?"
Rem floated silently, these people were indeed strange. It appeared that the one who had addressed her last already possessed shinigami eyes... and the one called Mimic was just an enigma, every human has a name and yet hers appears to have been destroyed before ever being uttered... The only one who seemed relatively normal 'L Lawliet' he was already suspicious of Lights rules... She doubted Kira had considered such peculiar obstacles carefully enough. "I have answered a number of your questions, now I am also curious."
Mimic tilted her head "will you be more cooperative if we answer your questions?" Her statement earned a glare from L.
"You must understand that I have prior obligations to stand by... however I may be tempted to overlook such things if you prove to me you can defeat kira by answering my questions" Rem replied.
"You want to beat Kira?" L asked slightly surprised.
Rem nodded "Yes, however I do not wish for the second kira to be convicted"
B laughed "that's impossible, the second kira is just as guilty as the first." L nodded slightly in agreement.
Rem glared at B "if I am not mistaken you too are guilty of causing death, on multiple occasions does this mean you will hand your life over? Or does the rule not apply to you?"
B grinned "Oh my life was over as soon as I set foot in Whammy's house." he chuckled, much Rems confusion. She did not understand the humans.
Mimic stepped forward "Rem, what would happen if we didn't have your help against Kira?"
Rem glanced at Mimic. "If I help you, there is a good chance you will all survive... with the exception of Kira."
"Would you kill him?" L questioned curiously.
"He would die, but it would not be me who kills him... Now you are yet to answer my questions."
L nodded "Fine, we will answer whatever questions you have but first e should prepare for the rest of the taskforce to arrive."
