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.]

She was wondering why you wanted to see her and not me. That maybe I was useless...

[She doesn't sound as happy as she normally does, sad, even.]

No. Without the sun it can't, just like it can't without water.

[juuichi_yosamu]

[Okay, he can salvage this. One hand lifts, and holds up two fingers.]

Two things. One, she's a reaper. Don't you think it's her job to make us doubt each other? We're... not gonna get through this if we don't trust one another. Just because she didn't throw noise at you doesn't mean she wasn't trying to hurt you.

[A bit of a sigh. That manipulative little... She KNEW the reason he was alone. He didn't have a life to go back to, after this. At least as a Reaper, he could work to make this game less of a broken mess, help those who were truly deserving to come back to life.]

Two... just because the flower seems to be getting along fine on its own, as soon as you take the sun and the water away, it starts to wilt.

You may not think you're helping, but believe me. You are.

[carsharkkonishi]

....I trust you, and that's why I'm worried. What did you need from her that you couldn't ask me about?

[She does worry about that.]

And you did that yesterday and look, you're fine.

[juuichi_yosamu]

...Explicit information on how the game - not just the mission, but the entire game - worked. Something that a Reaper would know that a player would have no clue about.

...'fine' is subjective, and ignores the fact that I was trapped in a wall-box for most of the mission fighting for my life as wolves tried to tear me to pieces. Someone figured out I'm no good at a distance and used that against me.

[Another sigh, and a headshake.]

Even if I DID get out of that without being erased, there was no way I could've cleared the mission with that mess going on. But at the same time... someone cleared it, didn't they?

[carsharkkonishi]

Yeah. The timer went away, didn't it? [No use in telling him it was her.]

I'm sorry I wasn't there to help.

[juuichi_yosamu]

[He has his suspicions anyway, though it was somewhat presumptuous of his own abilities.]

Don't be; I chose the path that seperated us, so it's only logical that I have to deal with the consequences.

So... Rhyme. You're the brains of this outfit, what's this "boss noise" they mentioned?

[carsharkkonishi]

Well, there were these weird symbols near this Tower, so I looked it up. I think it's Noise symbols, so I'm going to check.
