Introduction
But Ryuk was lying.
Beyond the Death Note is a dark realm, ‘The Black Bath House’.
This cruel place of darkness and despair belongs to all those who have used the Death Note, even if it was only once, and the only rule is that you have to kill someone every day. They will not actually die, otherwise the realm would not be so full, but they will enter a comatose state for five minutes. You may use anything you can to kill them but if you do not kill at least one person... you will enter Limbo, a frozen world of psychological torture.
Now Light finds himself in this place of torture and torment, discovering that his Kira reputation will do nothing to protect him, relying on his own intelligence and ruthlessness just to get by with all these maniacs. With Ryuk still hanging around to torment him, how will Light possibly cope?
Characters Needed
Light Yagami: {Taken By BewareofDanGIR!}
First Ever Death Note User: {Taken By Me}
Ryuk: {Taken By Lovely VonSchultz}
First User’s Shinigami: {Taken By Sabimaru}
Other characters can be users from the anime/manga/movies or OC users and I would also like some OC Shinigami.

The boys attitude towards her was interesting enough, he seemed to be trying to push her as far as he could, but the fact that he managed to make Shi lose his temper was extremely fascinating. She listened to his faint murmurings, the poor man didn't have a clue what was going on. But when Shi decided to slice his arm off, she decided she'd better intervene.
After all, it would be extremely boring if she didn't even get to see if this Yagami had the guts to actually kill someone without the Death Note.
"That's enough Shi." She said softly, looking at her Shinigami. "I'd still like to see what this boy's capable of, but he won't be able to do anything with his limbs removed will he? They always take longer to heal than death." Walking over to Shi, Rika smirked as she gently touched his hand. "Besides, if he proves to be a disappointment then we can have some fun with him."

"Light, I guess you should use this. You're gonna have to defend yourself somehow." Then he remembered the arm in his left hand. "Oh, and here's this." He presented the limb with a large amount of satisfaction.

He looked to Ryuk as he handed him a gun. Past the pain and the lightheadedness, Light was able to feel confused, "What the hell... am I going to do... with a... gun?!" Light panted, coughing out some dark red blood. Suddenly, it dawned on him, and he turned to look at Rika, “You…” he coughed, “You are the cause… of all of this… aren’t you?” he asked, the very act of talking—and breathing—caused his shoulder to hurt even more that Light had ever thought possible. Not even his death was this painful… Light started to sway; the feeling of extreme blood loss was way too familiar. Light, who was fighting to stay standing, never moved his gaze from Rika’s eyes; he needed answers from her and he was running out of time…

He flicked it off onto the ground and placed the sword behind his back, coming to stand behind Rika.
"He isn't as stupid as he seems."

"No indeed." She murmured. "It makes a change to have someone who doesn't need everything explaining ten times over."
Her own eyes returned Light's gaze, watching the boy with fascination.
He was so determined, this boy had a natural strength that she felt she had not seen before. Even with all the bleeding and the physical trauma of losing a limb he still needed answers.
"I told you, I am the first death note user. The 'kill every day' rule was established when I arrived, that is true, but I do not see why you are so surprised. If you use the death note in life, why should you not kill after death?" A smirk grew on her lips. "If you cannot handle the killing then perhaps you shouldn't have been given a death note."

"That's right." She murmured softly. "At least one person every day. And yes, you have to use a method other than the Death Note. The Death Note's are void in this world."
He wasn't going to last much longer, but Rika decided against telling him that he would wake up again after five minutes. It would be more interesting to see how he reacted to it himself. And yet even though he knew he was going to die he still kept fight. She smiled again, watching as Shi moved in front of her. She wanted to push this guy to the very limit, he intrigued her greatly but she still didn't think he would be a threat.
Touching Shi's shoulder gently, she walked past him and over to Light. Kneeling before the boy, she lifted his face up more with her fan, the tip of the glass shards digging into his skin.
"Tell me, have you ever killed without the Death Note before?"

Now it was time for the real test.
"What if I gave you a head start?"
A knowing smirk crawled over her lips as she removed the fan, retracting the glass from his skin. Her free hand trailed down his arm to the hand that held the revolver. It may have been a modern weapon but they had been brought into this realm by other users, she had figured out how they worked. Taking hold of his hand, she guided it upwards until the barrel of the gun was pressed against her forehead, all the while smiling.
"Just pull the trigger... blow my brains out... kill me..."
The words were whispered softly as she stared directly into his eyes.
There was something in her own eyes, a kind of innocence had stopped many people in their tracks before. After all, she may have been a killer but she had only become so after being horribly abused. Rika's greatest weapon, the reason she had not been caught for three whole years, was that she was still just a hurt little girl wanting payment for what had been done to her.
"Well?" She asked, waiting patiently for Light to decide what to do.

With his everlasting, toothy grin close to Light's ear, he whispered, "It's easier than it looks. Pull that trigger, see what happens." With a raspy chuckle he added, "It's really interesting."

Rika stared at him intently.
"I'm being generous and you ask me why? That's not very gentlemanly." Slowly she removed her own hand from the gun, making it appear that she would have no way to stop Light if he did shoot her. "You need to kill someone every day. And in case you haven't figured it out everyone here is already dead. Including you. I don't usually do things like this for other users... and with that attitude I'm not sure why I'm bothering to be generous to you now."
Rika's voice sounded hurt, even though she was enjoying watching his torment. His hand was shaking badly and from the look in his eyes she knew this boy couldn't possibly last long. She was starting to wonder what his purposes for killing had been when he was alive, clearly he didn't care about making people suffer but he must have had some reason.
"Just shoot. Moving targets are harder to catch so best take your opportunity now and get today over with."
Would he be able to do it? Something told her that he would, soon, but not right now. For now, he would just have to make his own decision. It would be interesting if he did, although she knew that, if he wanted to, Shi would still be able to stop the bullet even at this close proximity. It was all a test on whether the boy had the nerve to kill.

If you are such a fabulous killer why would you allow someone like me to kill you?
Those were his words.
And as she returned her gaze to Light... a slow grin formed on her face.
"You know, that's a very good question. And the answer... I wouldn't."
With that, she jammed the glass shards of the fan deep into Light's throat, twisting it harshly to cause more blood to spill. Then she leaned forward, her soft voice whispering in his ear.
"Five... minutes..."
Giving him and Ryuk a pleasant smile, she removed the fan and stood up, walking back towards the bath house.
"Let's go Shi, I think our warm welcome has been recieved." She said, smiling at her Shinigami before continuing on her way.

"Just in case someone interesting turns up. If one who may actually be a challenge for me turns up, I would rather get the first glance." She sighed slightly as they reached her room, walking inside and sitting down with her back against the wall. "Although this was very dissappointing, I thought this boy might have a bit more than the others but he couldn't even kill me when I was offering myself to him."
Her eyes closed for a moment as she remembered the way he shook, how he dropped the gun. Just a scared little boy, not worthy of the death note at all. She really was annoyed that this was another flop.
"If I could just have one challenge, just one user that could rival me when it comes to the kill, things wouldn't be so repetitive. But they're all pathetic, all they're good for is suffering." She opened her eyes, gazing at him intently. "You're the only one that keeps things interesting for me. The users... they make me ashamed to be human."

He tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"someone who kills as relentlessly as you is not human. You should have honestly been reborn as a shinigami."
"sleep, I will fend of any that wish to take advantage of you."
Shi slinked into the shadows for a moment and the rattle of bones began.
a few minutes later, Shi slithered out of the shadows and coiled loosely around Rika.
"Sleep tight, princess."
Setting

For some reason, it helped her relax for him to say she should have been a Shinigami, that she shouldn't be human. Her faith in humanity had been lost years ago, any kind of break from it was a welcome relief.
Nodding slowly, she watched as he changed to Shinigami form again, taking comfort as she felt him coil around her.
"Thank you Shi." She murmured, closing her eyes gently and slowly drifting off in his embrace.
What would she do without Shi... He had gave her an escape all those years ago and now he was her only real companion. Even if a user came to the Black Bath House who could actually rival her abilities and ruthlessness, even if they were her superior in every way, no one could ever replace Shi.
And any who tried... they just wouldn't last long.

I hope you guys realise that I'm making this up as I go along. :P
Btw, I've sent a message to DanGIR and S-Sixteen to let them know the roleplay has started so hopefully it shouldn't be long before you can post LovelyVonSchultz.

Re: [OOC] Beyond The Death Note
Anywho, I plan on posting for Ryuk after DanGIR has posted for Light. Wouldn't make much sense really for Ryuk to show up before him. -shrug- As soon as Light is in the Bath House, so shall Ryuk. >D
Re: [OOC] Beyond The Death Note
In answer to your question Sabimaru, the Shinigami are not bound to the same rules as the Death Note users. They do not have to kill every day, but when they do need to kill they have to use the human world because the Death Note doesn't work in the user's world. In The Black Bath House everyone is already dead, the killing of any user only lasts five minutes therefore the Death Note is useless. And they can still turn to sand if they kill to prolong the life of someone else, like Jealous did for Misa.
Re: [OOC] Beyond The Death Note
p.s. you're forgetting jealous. he died to protect amane
Re: [OOC] Beyond The Death Note
As far as what happens when they die, the creator never made mention of it, because the only Shinigami that dies in the whole thing is Rem. I don't think they go anywhere. I think they just disappear forever.
But seeing as how Angel changed what Ryuk said about Death Note users going to neither Heaven or Hell, then she can obviously changed where Shinigami go after they die.
(I read the 13th Death Note Manga, which is all about Shinigami and how the Death Note actually works. Very interesting stuff.)
