[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.]

[leggierissimo]

Oh? Why is that?

[notsogrimreaper]

Well, if it involves people coming back to life... eheh.

[leggierissimo]

[... nope. Tilting his head. That could mean a large number of things.]

You'll have to explain a bit better than that.

[notsogrimreaper]

Well... I guess I didn't tell you?

[If he didn't, he may be a little quiet about bringing it up... Seeing as he hasn't started a very personal relationship with you or flirted with you much.]

[leggierissimo]

I don't remember hearing anything about it. I'm fairly sure I would.

[Tapping his fingers on his phone! Now he's a little curious.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Well... I guess it's pretty obvious that I'm not human...

[Slowly sharing bit by bit, hoping some Player will come up and distract them.]

[leggierissimo]

Is that so?

[Good luck with that. He hasn't seen anyone so far.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Y-Yeah... The only reason I look like this is because of my friend Minato. I lived inside him for ten years... and eventually I was granted a human form.

[Yep, let's just keep avoiding the whole Death part.]

[leggierissimo]

[... Ryoji you did what.]

I see. And that means...?

[notsogrimreaper]

That means... this form hides what I truly am.

[I just lived in some five year old kid and tormented him for years, no biggie.]

[leggierissimo]

Which would be...?

[notsogrimreaper]

... The Thirteenth Arcana.

[leggierissimo]

[The only real reaction is a slight widening of his eyes. Barely there, really.]

Is that so.

[notsogrimreaper]

S-So you know what that is... Heh, I knew you were smart, Joshua-kun.

[His grin is strained.]

[leggierissimo]

[But, you know what, Ryoji? The final reaction you're getting is nothing more than a handwave.]

I don't see why you're so upset about it.

[notsogrimreaper]

I-I don't see why you're not upset.

I'm the reason you're dead. Don't you understand that?

[leggierissimo]

Why would I be upset? Death is a perfectly natural part of the human life cycle. Without it, they would be miserable. Living forever is only a slow and sure path towards madness.

[notsogrimreaper]

But I don't just cause death of people. Sometimes I cause the death of a world.

[leggierissimo]

That, too, is natural. Everything eventually has to come to an end.

[notsogrimreaper]

So nothing about me upsets you? I don't understand...

[leggierissimo]

Sorry to disappoint. I'm sure anyone else around here would be happy to supply for you, though.

[notsogrimreaper]

Humans have been strange here, though. Xion-chan, Rhyme-chan, and Neku-kun haven't at all been upset with me.

[leggierissimo]

Then why are you so surprised that I'm not?

[notsogrimreaper]

I guess... not surprised... more frustrated.

[leggierissimo]

I'm sure, if you're coming into it expecting people to be frightened.

Though, I would say that your feeling guilty about it says something.
