[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.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Now that I know it's what you meant
I thank you for the compliment.

[notsogrimreaper]

No problem, Zecora-chan! Do you think you could maybe teach me sometime?

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

I'm not sure it can be taught --
As I do it without a thought.

[tamedhollow]

[he seems a bit surprised, but then he smiles at her, genuinely, thankfully. The smile says it all, really.]

I'll see you around, Zecora.

[needsmorezippers]

I have been the thinking. The problem is doing it. [He has no qualms stepping on the people who got him here... just the ones who were dragged here with him.]

[tamedhollow]

Yeah... I keep hoping that there'll be asshole Players... people who don't deserve a second chance. But it seems like they're all just scared and confused and it makes it... really hard.

[needsmorezippers]

I've come across a couple that didn't. [notice the past tense, Ichigo?] ...but yea, most of them...

[tamedhollow]

[Yeah. Ichigo heard about that. He hadn't run across any himself] ... Well, good luck.

[needsmorezippers]

Thanks. You too.

[notsogrimreaper]

Oh, wow! But you sound like a pretty poem! To do that without even thinking about it is amazing!

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Too bad you don't know the zebra tongue--
it sound less like it's spoken, and more like it's sung,=.

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah, really? That must be beautiful... Can you still speak it?

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Of course I can, I didn't forget
I just had not found a reason to yet.

[She tosses a cheerful rhyming couplet his way in fake Swahili zebra.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah, wow... You're amazing, Zecora!

[He could listen to that Swahili zebra poem all day.]

[wonderful_mods]

[Scanning the redhead doesn't provide any more answers than the pin trader did. It seems they are too preoccupied with what they are doing to be thinking about whether they were or weren't in Shinjuku.

Of course, that could change with a little reminder...]

[needsmorezippers]

[Neku wants to figure this out, and this might help with the bigger picture. So assuming he can have the meme he carefully imprints both of them with the word 'Shinjuku.']

[wonderful_mods]

[the kid pauses.]

(Shinjuku!

...Uh? What does that mean?

Oh, wait! I think I did have a dream about some Japanese city...

... But I can't remember anything else except for that random helicopter. Oh well.)

[She goes back to sneaking. Time for the next one.]

[needsmorezippers]

[...Dream? Helicopter? He might need to come back to that. He'll see if the other girl explains anything.]

[wonderful_mods]

(Shinjuku...)

[!]

(Hey, doesn't that sound familiar? But why-)

[She was following Michiru, but suddenly stops and holds her head.]

Ugh...!

(It hurts!)

Michiru, wait...

[The redhead, apparently "Michiru", pauses to look at her friend. The pin trader suffers, struggling mentally with thoughts that she can't seem to reach. And then, her eye pops open. The pain is gone. She puts her hands down. And Michiru is looking at her like she's gone totally insane.]

( ... huh? What was I thinking about just now? Too weird.)

[The Pin trader frowns, and then looks up.]

... W-We should go. I just got a ... bad feeling about this place.

(Jeez, what's wrong with me.)

[needsmorezippers]

[....the hell just happened?! Neku's not going to be able to get more out of them right now, he doesn't think... but he's definitely keeping an eye on for them.]

[wonderful_mods]

Aww...

[Michiru crosses her arms and pouts. But the other girl seems pretty shaken. It apparently dawns on her that she should be concerned.]

Hey, Seeker, are you getting sick? ... I guess you'd better go home.

["Seeker" nods. The two exit the graveyard unceremoniously and head home, presumably toward the flats he saw a flash of.]

[needsmorezippers]

[...you know what, one more try. Just to see. He imprints 'helicopter' on Michiru, to see if that does anything.]

[wonderful_mods]

(Where?)

[Michiru looks up into the sky.]

(Ah, I dreamed it again! How silly.)

[...So apparently not. Looks like he'll have to find out about the helicopter from someone else.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

I... don't mean to cut this short at all
But might I pass on through your Wall?
I'm glad that you have enjoyed my rhyme
But I must get to the graveyard on time.

[notsogrimreaper]

O-Oh! Of course! Sorry to keep you so long! [Ryoji quickly removes the wall, waving Zecora through.]
