[Good on you, L. At least you have enough of a spine to actually do it without even attempting an excuse.]

We do one prominent infliction today to see how it is fresh and then we can do a period of one, three, seven and ten days. That should give us a good idea of the half life of the venom and the decay of the truth properties. We can plot it out properly too for good measure.

Unless you have prisoners readily available for it, I'll have to ask for you to do it.

I will ask you first though, what incident spawned the need for truth-telling within the prison?

[hearthebell]

[To his credit, L knows when something is expected of someone in his position, and that it would be nothing short of dishonorable and disrespectful to attempt to shirk his duties.]

It wouldn't be ethical. Provided that you can supply extra, to overcome that single dose immunity, then I'm glad to volunteer.

[A pause, because, really...]

There's been no incident, exactly. Just talk that it could be necessary in the future, and it would be better to have and not need than need and not have.

[intercalaryninja]

We can only distribute truth venom once per day. Unless you know of other arachne then, I'll have to do it tomorrow. I'll extract the venom now.

[Immunity does make things a tad more complicated but they'll manage.]

Necessary? How so? In what way? [Because there are... a few things he can think of that could warrant 'ethical' interrogations.]

[hearthebell]

You're certainly the only one I feel comfortable enough to work with, on this level.

[Actually true.]

You know that there are challenges and threats we face from other monsters. It's not always battle of a physical nature, or a struggle that can be resolved on the spot.

[intercalaryninja]

Thank you. That is an honour and a privilege.

[He means that as well.]

Yes, I'm aware. I was just wondering if you were focused on anything specific. But if it's general concerns, I understand.

[hearthebell]

You're too generous.

[Also true. They're just being so truthful, today, but L is completely humbled by just how easy this was. It could have been much more difficult.]

Several days from now, we should begin preliminary testing. Would that be alright with you? If so, you should begin collecting venom immediately.

[intercalaryninja]

[It could have, but when has Tsukikage ever really asked for anything in return. If it's for something be believes is good and useful, he gives generously. It's both one of his greatest strengths and his greatest weaknesses.]

Of course. I don't use my venom at all, since I don't particularly enjoy using it on others, so I have today's batch ready.

[Should he do it here? Would L mind? Or do it from home?]

[hearthebell]

Excellent. Once there are a few more doses ready to go, I'm ready to run some tests. Until then... thank you, Tsukikage.

[If the ninja did want to ask for anything in return, well... now would probably be a good time.]
