[Things appear to have settled down from the previous days. No more gallivanting ex-GMs, no more strange displays of brainwashing or secret tunnels. Everything is, supposedly, back to order. And yet, judging by the mission, not all is right. Whatever it is, it's up to the Players to fix it. Why not look around and see what this severed thing is? The answer may not be too surprising, to those paying attention.]

Comments

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy nods. She'll be waiting by the wall.

There are some animals skittering about; mostly squirrels and birds and the like. There don't appear to be any bunnies nearby.

Wait, are those bunny ears sticking out of a nearby bush?]

[shy_kindness]

[Still hiding behind that mane.]

I'm... um, a pegasus...

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[Zecora is willing to take those ears at face value. The worst that can happen is a Noise attacks her. She walks over to give the ears a gentle tug.]

[cruel_kindness]

[And the thing that's attatched to the bunny ears are...















...a squirrel. It chitters a little bit, taking the fake bunny ears off.]

[vexed_snake]

A pegasus.

[Just making sure he heard that right, because this pony just looks terribly out of place here.]

And you're playing in this game?

[needsmorezippers]

[When Neku finally finds Ichigo... yea, he'll admit it. Kind of surprised to still see him intact.]

Hey.

[shy_kindness]

I'm... um... [mumblemumble]...

[Come on, you've faced bucking dragons before! Quit beng so scared and greet the dude!]

[vexed_snake]

So do you talk, or just squeak a little?

[He snorts.]

Pathetic. I guess they'll let anyone in here...

[cruel_kindness]

[Asakura done fucked up. Out comes Fluttercruel.]

Lemme ask you mow many teeth you want me to buck out of your mouth.

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura just stares for a moment, then throws his head back and laughs. It is the best laugh he has had in a long time. Perhaps the pony isn't as vexing as he initially thought.]

So you do possess a spine.

[cruel_kindness]

[Let's see how HE likes insults.
Please don't be too hard on him.
I won't, I know what I'm doing.

That, common sense, and way more intelligence you ever could hope to have. It's a wonder you even survived this long.

[didyounot]

[When that one hits he seems reluctant to act on it. A few jumbled, too-quick thoughts pass by--something having to do with 'capture' and 'test'--before he settles on the idea that the birds will still be around here and there when he gets back.]

No sense in allowing myself to dehydrate.

[So with that, he stands.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[Zecora tosses the ears aside, laughing a little bit, then checks the bush behind the squirrel just in case.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[Excellent. She feels some small amount of guilt for this mental manipulation, but the Reapers have made it clear that the RGers are involved in the Game. So she quickly follows him.]

[myownlight]

[alright, he'll still be at the wall, hating mornings and life in general.]

[notsogrimreaper]

I guess that's true!

Anyways, how are you, Joshua-kun?

[Yes, he's changing the subject... for now.]

[notsogrimreaper]

No, it's a good idea! Compared to me! My first day, I just tried asking for people's names. It was way too easy, and I could have gotten in trouble.

[cruel_kindness]

[Thought it was going to be that easy? Nope. There's nothing there. Though checking around, there's a few more bunny ears in hiding and a weird-looking bird with a cotton tail in the tree.

Which one will Zecora investigate?]

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy starts shuffling her hoof again.]

You... you really think so...?

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[Back she comes, a drink tray clutched in her teeth, and in that tray an extra-large steaming-hot hot chocolate with whipped cream. She steps up, offering it to him.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

{Well, if the bunny ears were a deceit, it seems most sensible to check the bird next. Over Zecora trots, peering up at it curiously.]

[shy_kindness]

[The bird looks really malformed. It's bigger than other birds, has a cotton tail, and instead of talons, there are flat feet. The beak doesn't look quite right on the bird, too... Hm.]

[vexed_snake]

And you've got a big mouth for such a little horse.

[Okay, he could try to smash the pony, but, frankly, Asakura was still entertained.]

Talk to me about survival when you've had to eat garbage and spend most of your time fighting the police.

[He laughs again.]

Or monsters and Riders, but those were fun...

[There's a purple flicker in a window somewhere behind Asakura. Anything in mirrors or reflective surfaces in his vicinity is really not a good sign...but he's behaving for now.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Of course I do! Don't worry, you'll do a great job.

[Ryoji just wants the Flutters to feel confident about this job... because if they're not, they probably won't be able to handle the days with the dangerous missions. Ryoji can hardly handle them himself.]

[cruel_kindness]

[Um, let's not be too hasty here...

Fluttershy's words go unheeded as 'Cruel continues to prove just how much more hardcore they are than some spoiled brat.]

I've died and fought my way alive again before all this. This makes it my second time. How many times have you died?
