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.]

I'm not arguing the "getting you home" part. You keep talking like you didn't sign up for this like I did, and I believe it.

But I don't think it's the system itself that's making things so screwed up. If it was, they'd try to lull you into complacency. After all, who wants a game run by a bunch of headless torchics?

[tamedhollow]

I "signed up" to be a Reaper when I got here because they gave me two choices. Player, or Reaper. I thought that being a Reaper would be like being a Shinigami... it's not. And you know, this game WOULD work if they weren't pulling people in from different worlds.

Then what's screwed up, you figure?

[juuichi_yosamu]

Why are other worlds involved at all? This seems like the sort of thing that would work better if the reapers weren't as confused as the players... and it seems like they've even got a few living folk caught up in this.

It's like... a knot in space, or something... except with no Palkia to fix things. Something tells me this isn't how the Game is supposed to be.

[tamedhollow]

Involving other worlds is not only stupid, but dangerous. Worlds are separate for a reason; they have their own pool of souls, their own ways of going about things. You can't just transplant souls, it upsets the balance.

[Ichigo just growls. This whole mess just continues to piss him off] Josh and Neku know about this Game. They both said this is out of the ordinary. Way out of the ordinary.

[juuichi_yosamu]

Meaning something's broken INSIDE the Game, and it's better to figure out what instead of assuming the whole thing's the problem.

I mean, I don't know how that "shinigami" thing works in your world, but I'm sure you'd be incredibly pissed if someone from another world showed up and started changing the rules because he ended up there.

[tamedhollow]

[He grumps. Why you gotta be so logical, man?] ... I guess you're right. I still gotta work my way up, though. They don't pay a lick of attention to low-level Reapers except to tell us we aren't doing enough.

[juuichi_yosamu]

Meaning they pay attention to actions, not to words. You're going to have to really work hard to get where you need to go here.

[A bit of a quiet contemplation, before Grovyle continues]

You've got the right idea, though. If you need any help, I've got your back.

[tamedhollow]

[he gives a wry grin] They were impressed with my box trick. I just have to keep being creative. Plus I think Josh is going to help, as well. Josh... knows more than he says.

[he nods]

I appreciate it, Grovyle. You're a smart guy. It's good to have you as an ally.
