[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.]

[Ichigo frowns. He'd seen Axel get Erased... not by his hand, though. But he... doesn't say anything about it.] Yeah. Sorry, I haven't seen them.

[he looks up and seems to be thinking] ... Bring me a hot lunch. I'm cold and hungry and I can't leave this wall. Here. [he tosses him a 500 yen pin] Should be plenty.

[leggierissimo]

I saw him earlier today. Why do you ask?

[tamedhollow]

I went to bed and woke up here in the North frickin' Pole. I had to go buy all new clothes! And shoes don't exist for my feet. [he holds up his clawed feet, which are wrapped in pieces of a ripped up scarf] I thought... I think Josh said something about each city having it's own game?

[needsmorezippers]

[Bad luck, bro.] Yea, that's what I thought. This thing doesn't make any sense.

[leggierissimo]

[... Ryoji you did what.]

I see. And that means...?

[homnomhearts]

[Sora catches it, albeit with some fumbling.] Thanks. I'll be back before you can, uh... I'll be back soon.

[And he runs off. It takes him a half hour or so to find his way back, still feeling his way around the place, and he's holding something in a bag. You said hot, right? Well... it was hot. Now it's approaching lukewarm.]

Eheh... sorry, I got kinda lost. Here.

[homnomhearts]

Just wondering. He forgot about meeting me too, so I've been trying to find time to hang out with him again.

[tamedhollow]

[it's not too bad, since the only parts uncovered are the hardened claws on his toes, but still. Plus, his tail is no where to be seen. As a matter of fact, it's wrapped around his body under his parka, which hurts, but at least it won't freeze off]

Nothing about this makes any sense. I thought winners got to come back to life. But I saw Zecora!

[needsmorezippers]

I think it's only one per week, actually. [Though he's never been sure if that was just Shades or not.]

[juuichi_yosamu]

[And Grovyle just smiles from his perch. Yes, she was definitely resolute. It doesn't take long for the Noise to be erased, given the weight of the tombstones she's hefting... though the imagery does give him a bit of a reason to think.

Once the behemoth has been dealt with, he simply sits there, and regards the zebra.]

It was entirely natural for you to use those grave markers as a weapon, wasn't it...?

[Suddenly things are in a little sharper focus. Those who we don't interact with are treated as tools, not people.]

[tamedhollow]

[Ichigo just snorts and rolls his eyes. God forbid this kid meet Ryoji; the world might explode from friendliness.

When Sora gets back, Ichigo is bundled up in his parka, glaring at nothing in particular. So. Freaking. Cold.

Ichigo says nothing as he takes the bag and peeks into it. It seemed to be typical fast food fare and... well... at least it was warmer than the ambient temperature.]

Hm. Alright. Wall Clear.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

If life was fair, I wouldn't be dead.
And yet here I am instead.

[She starts to turn, then pauses, looking back at him.]

There is something I need to know.
Is there a price I could pay for that? Or no?

[tamedhollow]

Then... who won?

[needsmorezippers]

I don't know.

...Haven't seen Rhyme. [So maybe she's back home.]

[tamedhollow]

Pay for what? Getting me cocoa? No. It's not a trick or anything. I'm too cold for tricks. [and too cold for his brain to work properly, so he may not be understanding your message]

[homnomhearts]

[Aaaaactually, speaking of Ryoji...

But, right, okay, wall clear! EXCELLENT]

Thanks, Ichigo. I'll see you around, okay?

[tamedhollow]

I haven't seen her either. Or Sasuke. Grovyle is a Reaper... Hm. I gotta find out what's going ON here.

[needsmorezippers]

No kidding. This is ridiculous.

[tamedhollow]

[geeeeezzzzz.... Maybe their collective FRIENDNESS could warm up everything...]

Yeah. It won't be so easy tomorrow. I... can't go easy on you just because we're friends. Got it?

[tamedhollow]

The only way I'm gonna find out more is making it further up this stupid ladder.

[homnomhearts]

[For a moment, Sora looks sad, and a little surprised, mouth falling open.

But... he's starting to understand how this game works. So it only lasts a moment before his mouth sets in a determined line, and he nods.]

Yeah. I'll still see you around.

[tamedhollow]

[Ichigo gives him a sad smile, then nods] This is a terrible game. But I'm gonna find out a way to change it. ... Oh! [from the depths of his parka, he removes a pin, Creepy Weepy Barrier, and tosses it to him] This is yours. It's psyche is pretty useful.

[and now, if you'll excuse him, he's gonna eat before it gets any colder]

[needsmorezippers]

[Neku knows that's true, and it's... unfortunate. Is he going to have to do that too? He doesn't like what it'll take to get there...]

...Wish there was another way to do it.

[homnomhearts]

[Someday, Sora will manage to catch something that is unexpectedly thrown to him without fumbling it. Today is not that day.] Hey, thanks.

Let me know if you need any help, with the changing-it stuff. I just want to make sure everyone gets home safely--Game or no Game.

[leggierissimo]

Is that so? I'm sure he would enjoy that.
