[While just yesterday the number of Players had dwindled to less than 10, there are now a new bunch to take their place. For Reapers, it's a great chance to rack up your points! For Players... just hope they get erased and not you as you rush to the goal! At least they were clear about where it is this time, though you still must deal with the cliche of lurking around a graveyard while you're a ghost.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Sure! I've got this one!

[Pulls out the Creepy Weepy Barrier pin.]

It's a really nice one, it heals and protects you, from what I've done with it.

[He of course hasn't used it in a battle, just fiddled around with it while waiting for Players to show up.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

For the way I fight, it seems ideal
To have a means to both attack and heal.

[notsogrimreaper]

Right! And it's always a good idea to have a pin like this. It's good to be safe...

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Then I thank you for one more tool
To keep me from losing my cool.
We'll talk later, I have no doubt.

[She smiles at him, then flips her hood back up as she turns to jog past where the Wall had been.]

But I'd best find today's way out!

[notsogrimreaper]

Good luck, Zecora-chan!

[He waves as she leaves, grinning softly. Good to see some determined Players... he really hope things go well for her.]

[homnomhearts]

Good luck with that.

[And with that, he's running off.]

[homnomhearts]

Yeah, he is. I'll ask him to help with looking for your friend. Three heads is better than two.

[homnomhearts]

Why's that?

[leggierissimo]

Your enthusiasm certainly helps.

[homnomhearts]

Well, I'd hate to lose a friend.

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah, really? Thank you so much!

[sunnydwithagun]

...I appreciate that, but won't you get in trouble? It's your job to make things difficult for players, isn't it? They might not like you being so disobedient.

(Not that he doesn't mind the help, but he's actually kind of concerned since Ryoji's a nice guy and Django doesn't want anyone to get hurt or anything because of him.)

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah, well, I might get in trouble... I just want everyone to have a fair chance.

[sunnydwithagun]

Well that should include yourself, right? Reapers are stuck here as much as any of the players.

[leggierissimo]

Well, the more persistent you are, the better chance you have.

[It had worked with Shiki, anyway.]

[notsogrimreaper]

... I-I don't really deserve another chance.

[sunnydwithagun]

Don't say that; everyone deserves another chance. Even if you make the biggest mistake of your life the first time, you should have a second time to make up for it.

Besides: how are you supposed to learn from your mistakes and better yourself if you don't get another chance?

[notsogrimreaper]

Well, what if I'm more evil than those vampires you fight? What if it's just in my nature?

I know everyone deserves another chance, but I'm afraid of what would happen if I came back.

[sunnydwithagun]

...you sound a lot my brother, Sabata. He was essentially raised by darkness and we've fought many many times. He told me that sort of thing before, did a lot of terrible things and even fell victim to others. Every time he did, I always helped him back up because in the end, he wanted to make up for it.

Everyone has at least one person they can turn to when they reach their lowest. If they don't, then they can always find one. You already have someone like that, don't you?

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah... yeah. He sounds a lot like me. I have done many terrible things...

But at the same time, I really haven't wanted to. I never, ever wanted to, even at the very beginning, when that was essentially all I was created for.

Minato-kun... he's understood. And he wouldn't punish me, even if it meant he would get to live in peace for a while.

[sunnydwithagun]

Then it's not your fault. You weren't given a choice and no one can rightfully hold you accountable for that. I wouldn't.

There you go. That right there proves it. You still have one person to turn to and even if the entire world disapproves, don't you think it'd be worth it to give yourself another chance just for him?

[notsogrimreaper]

You... You're a very kind person, Django-kun.

...I would give myself another chance if he was still alive. I... It's my fault he's dead.

[sunnydwithagun]

(He smiles a little at that.)

Well if it's possible for us to come back to life, then it should be the same for him, right? It might not be through the Reaper's Game, but it's worth fighting for that chance.

[notsogrimreaper]

I-I'm hoping he comes back. He really deserves it, with the sacrifices he made.

[sunnydwithagun]

Then maybe he will. And if it does, I bet he'd like to see you there waiting for him.
