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.]

Um, n-no... it's hard to explain, but I took this form because of one of my close friends. I'm n-not human... so I don't age like a human. I probably would have looked like this for a long time, i-if... [Bites his lip.]

[carsharkkonishi]

O-oh....I'm sorry. [And she steps closer to pat him on the shoulder.]

I like you just the way you are!

[notsogrimreaper]

R-Really? I'm not scary?

[Flinches a bit at the contact, but he is happy.]

[carsharkkonishi]

No! A bit weird, but isn't everyone?

[notsogrimreaper]

I-I'm dangerous too though... I should stop hiding everything from all of you...

[carsharkkonishi]

So what? You can be dangerous, but from what I know, you've got a huge heart! You don't have to hurt anyone.

[notsogrimreaper]

...Yes I do. I'm a Reaper, and before...

[carsharkkonishi]

Look, we all knew what we were getting into with this Game, so stop beating yourself up over it. You aren't a monster. I promise. Cross my heart and hope to die.

[notsogrimreaper]

R-Really? It's okay? You really trust me?

[carsharkkonishi]

Yes. With all my heart. [And reaching up to kiss his cheek.]

I think I'll find another way around, though. This wall might be too difficult for me.

[notsogrimreaper]

[BLUSHING SO BAD AAAAAAAHHHH]

Wow... you're not only a sweet girl, but a good kisser.

[Wall? What wall?]

[carsharkkonishi]

[Blushing worse than he is and backing away a bit, being shy.]

T-thanks....[Bows.]

[notsogrimreaper]

You're welcome...

[Oh, no you don't! Even if he's still embarrassed, he pulls Rhyme back up and into a tight hug.]

[carsharkkonishi]

[Her breathing pauses for a second in surprise, before she gently wraps her arms around him and hugs him, too.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[He's trying to hide it, but he may start shaking a little, almost like he's crying...]

[carsharkkonishi]

[Nononononononono. She squeezes a bit tighter, looking up at him with large, blue eyes.]

Ryoji?

[notsogrimreaper]

[Sniffling softly.]

I'm so sorry...

[carsharkkonishi]

Don't be sorry. You can cry. It's okay. Really.

[notsogrimreaper]

I-I don't want to hurt you. H-Hurt anyone...

[carsharkkonishi]

You won't hurt me, I promise. You won't have to hurt anyone. We'll make it.

[notsogrimreaper]

...How do you know? Every time someone gets erased here... i-it's my fault.

[carsharkkonishi]

No, it's not. It's no one's fault. Sometimes, we don't get second chances. I don't know if I'll get one. But if I don't, it's not your fault.

[notsogrimreaper]

...But they die. I make people die. It's my fault, it's my fault... [Quietly mumbling to himself, panicking slightly.]

[carsharkkonishi]

[She's pulling him closer, squeezing, as if human touch will make him come back.]

No, it's not!

[notsogrimreaper]

You don't understand Rhyme!

[Pushing her away, wiping his tears and giving her a determined look.] I-If you see, will you understand?
