[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.]

Hey, kid. [Ichigo gives a weak smile] I'm happy to see you alive. ... Well... sort of. Not Erased.

[homnomhearts]

Yeah. Turns out Riku and I pulled through.

The rest of my friends are... well, I'm still looking for them. Some of them are Reapers, so they should be somewhere around here. [But Roxas, and Axel, and... Kairi... well. They can't be far, right?]

So--what's the challenge?

[tamedhollow]

[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.

[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.

[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.

[homnomhearts]

[Aaaaactually, speaking of Ryoji...

But, right, okay, wall clear! EXCELLENT]

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

[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?

[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]

[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.

[tamedhollow]

We'll figure something out. In the meantime, you survive. I'll have to test you, of course... but I think you'll be fine.

[homnomhearts]

[And here comes the sunny disposition again.]

'Course I will. You just worry about yourself.

[tamedhollow]

[Ichigo can't help but smile. Sora's good nature is infectious]

Yeah yeah. Mostly I gotta worry about staying warm. Ha!

[homnomhearts]

Good luck with that.

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