[Well. Nobody did erase the GM last week, did they? Even if they did, she obviously had some trick up her sleeve, as she's definitely skulking around town... in several places, even. She's obviously been demoted, as well, judging by the scowl on her face. She doesn't seem to be harrying today - another reason for the scowl, judging by how aggressive she was at the end of last week. The reapers have a strange set of instructions as well - obviously, the goal to this mission isn't combatative.

And what's with guarding the church? There's nothing of note there.]

Comments

yes always

[poppetstrings]

(Game...? Oh!)

[It takes her a moment to realize there must be a player nearby, what with the word poping into her head. At least it calms her down, and she stops yelling.]

Yes. I was a reaper.

[She looks around. She has no idea where this player is at. It's a little strange talking to someone who isn't physically in front of her.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[A Reaper? Here he thought that their only other option was Erasure.]

"Reaper Creeper"

[He suggests because yes/no/not sure questions might be easier than trying to imprint everything.]

[poppetstrings]

Oh! That'd probably be easier, huh?

[Thankfully she has the piece of paper and the coin needed for it. Xion looks around, before pointing to a nearby bench.]

It'll be easier to put it on a flat surface.

[shinbunshinobi]

[Ah yes, a flat place would work better, and since she knows that he'll be doing the coin moving, he's not going to bother with doing it slowly.]

"Question"

[Sasuke sighs as he takes a seat across the board.]

This is going to be an interesting conversation.

[poppetstrings]

Uhm, is it a question for for you?

[Xion drops the coin in the middle of the board, waiting for it to move.]

[shinbunshinobi]

Huh. Maybe I should have asked if she was ready instead... This is going to take some getting used to.

[Sasuke moves the coin toward white (yes). He wants to know what the former Reaper is trying to do yelling like that. Sasuke has his own questions, but first thing's first.]

*question for you whoops

[poppetstrings]

Well, I can't answer what you probably want to ask.. Since.. well, we can't exactly talk.

[She thinks for a moment.]

I guess we can narrow it down. Is it about the game?

Re: *question for you whoops

[shinbunshinobi]

[The coin moves to white.]

Did you "win" the game? What else can I imprint... "Rebirth"?

[Sasuke thought he and Zecora won the last game, but here they still are as Players. Is it different for Reapers, he wonders? Do they win the same thing?]

[poppetstrings]

[She thinks on the words for a second. Rebirth..?]

I didn't win, no. I left the reapers. [Which means that Rebirth could possibly relate to her RGer status? It's worth a shot.]

I was expecting for them to make me a player like you. But instead i'm here, alive.

[shinbunshinobi]

You left, and you were brought back to life?

[Sasuke moves the coin toward the Red (unsure)]

"Home"

[He doesn't think she is, but she might be from this area.]

[poppetstrings]

... Home? I don't get it, sorry. Try something else?

[shinbunshinobi]

"Here"

This is worse than charades with that guy.

[poppetstrings]

Oh! No, i'm not from here. I think.. If you come alive from the game, it just plants you into the RG here. I don't think you get to go home.

[Or anywhere, for that matter, but shh, not important.]

[shinbunshinobi]

Oh, god damn it!

[Sasuke puts a hand to his face. So, even if he comes back to life, he may not be able to go back home. This game really sucks.]

"Thanks"

[He moves the coin back to the center and waits for her to start asking him questions.]

[poppetstrings]

No problem. Sorry about my answer, though.

[She thinks for a minute, and then:]

Have you been able to figure out the mission?

[shinbunshinobi]

[Sasuke gives the mission hint some more thought before the coin moves to black (no).]

[poppetstrings]

Sorry, I'm not much help there either. I did hear that the reapers manning the walls can't use noise as the condition, though..

[shinbunshinobi]

No Noise? Are they going easy on us today?

[Sasuke imprints "Noise" and quickly moves the coin to black again.]

[poppetstrings]

I don't really know more than that. I think its fine if harriers use the noise, but not the ones on the walls. Makes me think maybe they're protecting something where all the walls lead.

[shinbunshinobi]

The walls are something to check out. All right. I think that's what I'll do.

"Thanks."

[Sasuke imprints it again and waits to see if she has any more questions for him.]

[poppetstrings]

It's no problem. Can you do me a favour, though? There should be a boy named Sora. He's a player, just like you. Can you keep an eye out on him for me?

[shinbunshinobi]

[The coin moves to white. He'll keep an eye out for the Player. The more Players surviving each day, the better chance they all have.]

"Sasuke"

[He has no idea if that imprint will work, but if she wants to catch his attention in the future, his name might help.]

[poppetstrings]

[It works, and she nods.]

I'm Xion. It's nice to meet you, Sasuke.

[shinbunshinobi]

"Xion", huh. Well, it's nice to meet you too. Maybe next time we can find a place with a decal and have a more comfortable conversation.

[poppetstrings]

[She's thinking along the same lines.]

I shouldn't keep you from your mission any longer.. Next time try and find me in a place with a decal, alright?
