WEEK 2 DAY 2: MISSION

[wonderful_mods]

Mission: "Make the mall rats batty."
Time Limit: Short
Noise Plane: Solo
Wall Instructions: Around Julius Mall; must be required to defeat noise
Wall Rewards: Mystery Pin
Reaped Rewards: Lolita Bat
Mission Rewards: 500 leu



[Interestingly enough, it seems the mission takes place inside a mall full of Reaper Decal'd buildings. Assuming the so-called 'mall rats' are in fact RGers, this should make your job quite easy.

But don't these mystery pins look kinda sketchy and bootleg? Plus if you put one on, it slows your movements. ... And may also kind of make you feel like eating some rare steak. Odd indeed.]

[notsogrimreaper]

...Um, no, I don't think that would be a good idea. Maybe the bat is a symbol of some kind.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Perhaps again there is a pin
That gives us the key to win.

[notsogrimreaper]

Maybe... [Casually reaches into his pocket and oh! Wait, these were the wall reward pins...]

Maybe this?

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

That pin certainly is new.
Tell me, please: what does it do?

[notsogrimreaper]

Huh, I don't know... As far as I can tell, it's just made me hungry. Maybe bad at claw machine games too.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

It seems only practice will tell
What property we have to sell.

[notsogrimreaper]

Hmm... I hope I at least helped a little, Zecora-chan. I'd help more, but I don't want to get in trouble.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

That is something we need not even discuss.
You've already done so much for us.

[Zecora has repented of her earlier suspicion, it seems.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Yes! Ryoji is certainly glad Zecora trusts him now. She's a good person...pony, and she deserves to return back to life if she's worked so hard.]

Eheh, not that much. I just like to help. You and Sasuke-san are good friends.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

So long as you don't come to grief
For turning over this helpful leaf.

[notsogrimreaper]

I-I won't, and even if I did, if I knew you guys were okay, I wouldn't mind.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[She fixes him with a steady look. Zecora may be a zebra, but she is a wise and mature zebra, so when she speaks it's compassionate, but definitely no-nonsense.]

Thank you for the thought, but you have my word:
I will not save two by sacrificing a third.

[notsogrimreaper]

I...

[Ryoji almost protests for a moment, but then carefully smiles.]

Thank you, Zecora-chan. That's very kind of you.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Imagining it is enough to give me frights.
If I allowed it, I could no longer sleep at nights.

[notsogrimreaper]

...It's the same for me, I think. I only Erased one person... a-and I don't ever want to do it again.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

That is a grim, awful fate to face.
How did you end up Reaping in the first place?

[notsogrimreaper]

Well... I'm not sure how I got here, but suddenly I was being spoken to by some people with wings and everything... they told me about the Game and that I could choose to play... b-but I don't deserve that. I was happy to just stay dead...

So suddenly they were training me to be a Reaper, I didn't even get a say in it, it just happened. It seemed like they were determined for me to be a part of this, I don't know why.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Tricking you? Strange things abound
In the game at large, not just the last round.

[notsogrimreaper]

Yeah, it's a little strange... I don't even want to imagine what they're planning.

[Ryoji's been thinking about this for a while now. Maybe he's being kept here so that the other Players can't come back to life... Maybe he's to blame for Zecora still being here...]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

If they seek to harm any other soul
Be it old stallion, or tiny foal
I'll stand against them with all I can
And oppose their wicked plan.

[notsogrimreaper]

You're so brave, Zecora-chan... I promise, I'll help too!

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Just try to stay, so to speak, alive.
Survival for all is the goal for which we strive.

[notsogrimreaper]

It's a noble goal. One I think many of my friends have had. I hope it works well for you.
