*~WELCOME~*
This is an annex of the original lounge that was used as a break room while the Kira games were in session. Now that the cases have ended and things have settled down, I’ve opened this thread in the “friends chat” area where it should be.

Here, we get together to unwind from our day, usually one that’s been full of super genius sleuthing work.
Any type of conversation is allowed here, anything from Death Note to the studying that you're procrastinating on.
Be nice and be literate and you won't be shunned by the others who frequent this thread.

I am Light Yagami. If you'd like to know more about your threadmaster, visit my profile or stick around right here.

MESSAGE TO NEWCOMERS
I hope you find yourselves welcome here. We do appreciate other great minds joining our humble break room here at headquarters. Stick around and meet some of our seasoned detectives, and maybe you’ll be able to participate in an event or two.
This place is open to any sort of friendly chat. Beware of the lulz.

私の計画がある。信頼を私に

Rules
I. Don’t quote entire sections of the first page. It’s irritating and noobish, kthx.
XXXXXXI dislike quoting in general, unless it is to make a point...
II. No picking fights, have ensuing drama, etc. I hate drama and so does my rainbow llama.
III. Follow Gaia’s ToS. It’s simple enough.
IV. Annoying spammage and trolling by newcomers will result in inkshed in my little black book.
V. Respect the regulars. Chances are about 100% that I like them better than you.
VI. If you're going to spam, double/triple/infinitesimal posting is not the way. Converse with others, don't be annoying about it.

Announcements: [[ 3.16.2011 ]]
NONE! At the moment.
