WEEK 1 DAY 6: MISSION

[wonderful_mods]

Mission: "Erase the boss noise."
Time Limit: Short
Noise Plane: Solo
Wall Instructions: None. Keep harrying.
Wall Rewards: ( If anyone puts one up anyway: Hot Dog )
Reaped Rewards: Murasame
Mission Rewards: Earthshake

[Anyone who saw the Noise Sigils from Tocho's Observation Decks the day before will know exactly what this mission is talking about. Those who didn't may not realize that there is more than one. That plural form's sneaky.

But either way, there's a Mammoth Boss in the middle of Shinjuku Gyoen, and a Fox Boss in front of the Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower. They are very tough and cannot be defeated alone. Apparently the GM really has it out for the Players today - and anyone who steps to the plate may feel as though they're being watched.]

Comments

Right before Shinjuku Gyoen

[needsmorezippers]

[Neku takes a look at the Noise beforehand, and he does not envy the players one bit. Goddamn Mammoths. Most of these Players, if any, aren't going to be able to handle that alone, or even with a partner. Maybe...

He throws up a wall in front of the area, though might still harry if he feels like he needs to. You're going to have to pass his condition to get by, Players...]

[tamedhollow]

[Ichigo is harrying, again. Not quite as aggressively as yesterday, but walls weren't seeming to cut it.

Besides, he'd thought about it, but eaten all the hot dogs he'd been given to give out as rewards]

Neku. What are those blue symbols?

[needsmorezippers]

Boss Noise. The Mammoth in particular is a pain in the ass.

[carsharkkonishi]

Um, Neku?

[Shuffling up to him now.]

Can you come with me for a moment?

[needsmorezippers]

[Oh hey Rhyme.]

Uh... sure. What's up?

[leggierissimo]

[And here he thought they weren't supposed to be manning walls today. Shame shame, Neku~

But! That isn't why he's here. No, there's more pressing issues at hand.]

I wasn't aware you swung that way, Neku-kun~

[needsmorezippers]

[it's a good wall condition ok. B|

...the actual comment earns a slight frown.]

The hell are you talking about?

[notsogrimreaper]

[Oh yes. This Reaper is stepping it up. He's put up a wall, and is waiting patiently.

When asked what a Player needs to do though, he stammers for a moment then... grins. Very widely. And very mischievously.]

Want past this wall? Then bring me Neku-kun! We're going to go on a date~!

Oh, and make sure to give him a makeover! He needs to look fancy for this!

[carsharkkonishi]

[Just....blinking at him.]

.....You want to take Neku...on a date? He doesn't really seem like the type, though....

[notsogrimreaper]

Yeah! He said he would come! He was just too busy with work...

So this way, he's doing his job by coming with me! Perfect, huh?

[tamedhollow]

[Ichigo is looking for Players, and finds one (one who narrowly escaped his Noise earlier) stopped by a ... wall. And the newbie Reaper who was asking for weird things. Time to confront him about it.]

Oi, buzz off. [he addresses the Player] There's an alternate route down that alley. Scram. [and the Player does, knowing that Ichigo set Noise on him earlier. He turns to the Reaper] What are you doing, exactly? Didn't you get the memo? We're supposed to be "harrying". [Ichigo rolls his eyes and swishes his tail, clearly annoyed by the whole thing]

[notsogrimreaper]

Hey! That was mean! They were going to help me with the date!

And I am harrying! I have this wall up, don't I? I'm giving them stuff to do! [Grins. Clearly he is a great Reaper.]

[leggierissimo]

[... oh. Oh, he is amused.

Hello, Ryoji! He can't help but see what exactly is going on. Matters of personal interest, of course~]

A date? With Neku-kun? How did you manage to convince him of that?

[suicidoll]

(Yeah, those guys are clearly going to take a combined effort from the players to bring down.

But hey, if the GMs want the reapers to do their jobs more, than Kreutzer can do just that. That's why she's going around, throwing noise at players that pass her by. Think of it as a warm up for what lies ahead. You're welcome for that.)

[shinbunshinobi]

[Sasuke is continuing his search from yesterday looking for his partner. After that very tough battle, he's thinking he really needs to find Ms. Zebra before moving ahead.]

[leggierissimo]

[Well, well. A considerable improvement from yesterday. At least she isn't sitting there sipping tea while Players fight for their existence.

Though, in hindsight, it isn't so different from what he usually does.]

Actually working today?

To the Tower

[carsharkkonishi]

[Rhyme, having seen the sigils yesterday, is already heading off in the direction she hoped would get her to the proper spot. There was something missing, though. There was a distinct lack of green again today. She hadn't found him yesterday, but it had been clear he'd known what he was doing, and today it was her turn. She'd do it for the both of them, she swore it.

So that's why she was running towards the Tower, alone yet determined.]

[tamedhollow]

Still without a partner, I see.

[have a Reaper, Rhyme. One who's still in trouble with the higher ups. But he sounds more... concerned than he probably should]

Why are you two running around separately?

[juuichi_yosamu]

[He had wanted to catch up with her yesterday. On the other hand, he got caught up for quite some time in Ichigo's noise-box trap, to say nothing of other reapers stepping up their game. It was a busy day, and he was lucky to survive. Maybe it wasn't luck, but modesty was one thing Grovyle kept nearby.

By the time the mission had been cleared, she was nowhere to be found, the two of them constantly missing each other.

Thus, it's only when she nears the tower that she will see him, leaning against a nearby wall.]

...sorry about yesterday. Today... we can't pull those antics. Gotta work together or else we won't have a snorunt's chance in a volcano.

[leggierissimo]

[Whether Rhyme realizes it or not, she's had a close eye watching her all this week. Always from a distance, but... well, Rhyme is from his city. Joshua isn't about to let another district take what belongs in his own.

But as he sees her running alone towards the Noise symbols that will take at least two skilled Players to defeat... he has to step in. Right in her path, in fact, but far enough away that she won't run into him.]

Going somewhere?

[shinbunshinobi]

[After yesterday's battle, Sasuke is a lot more wary and serious. He wants to find his partner as well before continuing to any "boss" Noise. Having only one attack pin he can use really puts him at an disadvantage.]

[However, the Players aren't given a lot of time for this mission. Whatever happens, it'll have to happen fast.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[No worries on one score at least -- swathed in her cloak, the zebra canters up to him at speed, eyes narrowed and yellow in the depths of the hood.]

Together we must face this fight
Or else we might not see tonight!

MAMMOTH

[wonderful_mods]

[In the lawn area next to the middle pond in Shinjuku Gyoen National Park, the Mammoth noise waits to be challenged. Step into its territory, and the ground will suddenly shake so hard it just might knock you to your knees. This boss is enormous!]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

That one looks unusually large.
Sasuke, let us: Charge!
I shall strike it with my Pins
You distract it till its head spins!

FOX

[wonderful_mods]

[In front of the tower, there appears to be a strange mushroom growing. Investigate?]
