WEEK 1 DAY 5: MISSION

Mission: "Observe from Tocho."
Time Limit: Medium
Noise Plane: Solo
Wall Instructions: Key wall in front of Nishi-Shinjuku. Objective to be met is appropriate dress.
Wall Rewards: Poison Chains
Reaped Rewards: Thunder Pawn
Mission Rewards: 10,000 yen



["Tocho" is a nickname that refers to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, which has two panoramic observation decks. It shouldn't be hard to get there, but what awaits when you arrive?]

Road to Tocho

[personal profile] ceiling_cat 2012-10-13 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[The stubbly man leaning against a building wall is nearly invisible in the crowd: button-down shirt half undone, black vest and black slacks make him look like a badly groomed waiter taking a smoke break.

He's not smoking, though. He's watching, brown eyes narrowed thoughtfully behind his sunglasses. And what he's watching isn't the hustle and bustle of the Shinjuku crowds. It's the Players dashing and dodging between them.

So: another world, that much he'd expected, but another District isn't what he was expecting at all. He knows Joshua's feelings about Shibuya. What possessed him to aim for this place?

He can't pinpoint the Composer's location without making himself much too obvious, and he'd rather not handle any awkward explanations about certain memos handed down from above. The activity on this road makes it clear that it's the day's route. Boredom should bring his target by sooner or later - he flinches from the word, even mentally, and substitutes Composer. Whatever it is he's bringing Joshua home to, there's no point in being prematurely dispassionate.

Hanekoma indulges himself for a moment in a pang of guilt, and then refocuses on the Players passing by.

Business comes first.]

[Neku really, really doesn't want to harry anymore today- though, in reality, he knows he probably hasn't done it enough to get him out of trouble. He scowls a little at the ground, walking without paying much mind to where he's going, when he sees someone that (to him) pretty much always stands out.

Cue utter bewilderment.]

Mr. H?!

[PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE REAPER WINGS BEHIND THE BOY.]

[Treasure the split-second of shock on Hanekoma's face as he turns toward you, Neku: it's vanishing almost instantly under the pinch of a tiny frown. Reaper wings?

The Composer's Proxy is a Reaper? In Shinjuku? What's wrong with this world?]


Heyyyy, Phones!

[If this boy recognizes him, then maybe this world's version of him has the same nickname. It's worth a try, at least.]

What're ya doin' out here?
needsmorezippers: (Neku [Head down])

[personal profile] needsmorezippers 2012-10-13 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh you have no idea.

Neku tugs his hair at the nickname, but otherwise looks... kind of relieved. And worried. It's a really mixed up expression.]

..........Harrying. [and boy does he sound miserable when he says it.]
leggierissimo: (God I love incriminating evidence.)

[personal profile] leggierissimo 2012-10-13 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[... well, well! Look who decided to show up. After how many calls and text messages with no response? This is worse service than that time when Minamimoto had so kindly knocked him into a parallel dimension. At least it hadn't gone to voicemail on that call.

The look on Joshua's face is an odd combination of a neutral smile peppered with equal parts relief and annoyance. He approaches nonetheless, hands slid into his pockets, voice cheerful as always once he finally speaks up.

Ignore those rather small Reaper wings on his back, by the way. They're embarrassing.]


It certainly took you long enough.

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-10-13 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
It's his thing, I've got no right to invade on it.

[She unceremoniously takes the pins without a comment on the fight.]

Not for much longer, though....feel like telling me which way he went?
carsharkkonishi: (absence makes the heart grow fonder)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-10-13 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[She reflects that and smiles too, not that she knows that it's a flirty thing.]

Hi.
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-10-13 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[And Rhyme's just walking out of a store, suddenly in buisness clothing, her normal clothing tucked under her arm. She doesn't notice him, actually looking for her green partner.]

Hey, Grovyle?
ceiling_cat: knowing sidelong look (the producer ALWAYS knows better)

[personal profile] ceiling_cat 2012-10-13 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Harrying? Don't mind me sayin', Phones, but that doesn't seem like your usual line a work.

How long have ya been doin' it?
needsmorezippers: (Neku [Head down])

[personal profile] needsmorezippers 2012-10-13 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yea, well. Kind of banned from playing at this point, so I didn't get a choice.

[does that scenario sound familiar?]

We've been here five days, so far.

[personal profile] ceiling_cat 2012-10-13 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
There ya --

[And the oddness in Joshua's Frequency hits him before he spots the wings. He stutters into silence, and puts a thoughtful hand on his chin. This world's Kiryu Yoshiya? Maybe -- but that raises the question of just why Josh was waiting for him.]

So tell me, how long have ya been waitin', J?
leggierissimo: (I'm missing some hair but it's cool.)

[personal profile] leggierissimo 2012-10-13 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't take much to figure out why that pause is there. Joshua sighs, lifting a hand to brush some hair from his face.]

Five days now. I'm assuming one of my messages went through? Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.
ceiling_cat: casual smile, eyes closed (content enough)

[personal profile] ceiling_cat 2012-10-13 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[And another familiar face -- Beat's sister, in the smallest suit he's seen since the last Seven-Five-Three day. Hanekoma considers saying nothing for a moment, but it's worth it to see if she recognizes him too...]

Hey there.
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-10-13 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[She blinks, turning to see him.

He's not a Reaper, he doesn't have wings....so why can he see her? He seems too old to be a Player, in her mind. So she gapes for a second.]


You can see me?
ceiling_cat: hand on chin, thoughtful (i see london)

[personal profile] ceiling_cat 2012-10-13 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Startlingly so. But the time doesn't quite line up - Hanekoma frowns.]

So, you're not from here, huh.
tamedhollow: ({snarl} I think I'm at the edge now)

[personal profile] tamedhollow 2012-10-13 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Soccer, really? Well, everyone needs a hobby.

The drake, thankfully, is fairly predictable. Strong, but predictable. Every time it attacks, it takes a moment to rest. And those moments are the best opportunity for attack. But if Sasuke ever runs too far, the drake breaks his pattern to give chase. It's a juggling act. Just a little more...

tamedhollow: ({poutyfais} as no one knows)

[personal profile] tamedhollow 2012-10-13 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm ok with going hungry. I'll do what I have to not to starve. But hunger? Used to it.

[in more ways than one. Ichigo watches Grovyle leave, and doesn't give chase. The Game is a test, not an execution.

Once the pokémon is gone, Ichigo frowns and mutters to the sky
]

Good luck..
needsmorezippers: (Neku [Ugh])

[personal profile] needsmorezippers 2012-10-13 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[That... catches Neku off guard a little. Ok, in hindsight maybe that wasn't obvious, but...]

No. From what I can tell, pretty much everyone involved in this Game has been dragged here. Some people didn't even know what Earth was.
carsharkkonishi: (curiosity killed the cat)

[personal profile] carsharkkonishi 2012-10-13 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I know, but I really don't want to. I want to look out for Grovyle first. If I do that, we'll make it together.

[She manages to make that sound not cheesy, giving a wave before following the direction of the nod.]
ceiling_cat: serious expression, cigarette in hand (bad habit break)

[personal profile] ceiling_cat 2012-10-13 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Messages? Can't say I got any of those. You know, that inter-world satellite service gets a little spotty sometimes.

[Five days? When he hasn't been out of Shibuya that long? Hanekoma's face is still as he thinks frantically.]

Somethin's a little odd here, J.

You left a few days ago when Minamimoto went after ya with that flare of his, didn't ya?
leggierissimo: (Binge drinking as a giant grape.)

[personal profile] leggierissimo 2012-10-13 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Ugh. He should have figured. You would think they would make the networks on these things a little more stable...

... but wait. Joshua frowns, tipping his head to the side.]


That happened almost two weeks ago.
ceiling_cat: smiling with hand behind head (hey there boss)

[personal profile] ceiling_cat 2012-10-13 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[That makes a little more sense. Hanekoma smiles, more relaxed, and shrugs at the girl.] Sure can, kiddo.

So tell me, how long have ya been a Player?
ceiling_cat: on the phone, intent look ('scuse me gotta take this call)

[personal profile] ceiling_cat 2012-10-13 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[His eyes narrow.]

Dragged from different worlds, huh?

-- Let's see. How'd I meet you, Phones?
