#death note do-gooder discourse

[centrally-unplanned]

Though the real wrinkle on the "you are given a Death Note to do good" problem is that I am not sure if this is a world that has the anime/manga Death Note in it. Because if it doesn't you can probably do a pretty good job becoming some mystical force inscrutably pursuing your ends, all fine.

But if it does you are going to have that scene where the President and the National Security Council bring in a Misa/L fanart Discord mod into a session after a wave of dictator deaths hit the wiretaps, where all the big generals are wearing puzzled frowns and haggling over whether its the Chinese or the Ruskies. And they sigh, take out their $100 dollar prop replica (complete with rules) that they bought at Anime North 2007, and say "Mr. President Sir, you don't understand - that bitch has a Death Note" with the most excited gleam you could possibly imagine in their eye. Their L Cosplay is coming out of the closet the moment they get their Top Secret Clearance badge to serve as a "Special Consultant" for the inevitable taskforce convened by the CIA.

And I will be accursed by god before I give this smug, LARPing fuck the satisfaction. I would burn the book out of spite.

Read a better manga!
