WEEK 2 DAY 7: MISSION

[wonderful_mods]

Mission: Pray for your survival. Riches await those who perform the Twelfth Labor of Heracles.
Time Limit: Very Long
Noise Plane: Solo
Wall Instructions: None. All reapers are to be on harrier duty. The ban on attacking players directly is still in place.
Wall Rewards: (If anyone puts one up anyway: 5 leu)
Reaped Rewards: Blast Warning
Mission Rewards: Lazy Bomber



[There seems to be a new reaper stalking through the streets of Cluj-Napoca, a familiar sight to a few eavesdroppers in town. The teenager looks no older than fourteen years old, his head covered in bandages. He doesn't seem to be getting winded as he parkours across the rooftops, slipping the streets and alleys of town when he can't, showing a swiftness fitting that wiry frame. Oddly, he doesn't seem to be attacking Players, despite the command that all reapers should harry...

Looks like the GM is cocky once again - there is no direct warning of erasure at the end of this Mission mail. In addition, reapers are still instructed to not attack players directly. You could probably clear the day without completing the mission, as long as you survived... but completing the mission would certainly get you significant recognition at the end of the Game.]

[[OOC note: At its basic, this is a repeat of last week's Day 7: Survive to win. You can also try to take down the GM, or fulfill the secondary mission conditions. Anyone who completes the second 'task' stated will get a Blue Blood Burns Blue in addition to the posted mission reward.]]

[Even if the change in color wasn't noticable in the pony given the lower lighting of the bar, the change in tone was obvious. At first, Rei crooks an eyebrow in confusion...

And then, once he connects the dots, he just starts to laugh. It's a little bit of an unhinged laugh, a laugh of someone who just had a weapon dropped in his lap.]

You know, I'd wondered what was so special about a grumpy pony... now I know. So do you keep her in line, or the other way around?

[If no players noticed him... well, that was one of his contingencies anyway, but now at least he'd be entertained while he waited the rest of the night out, and without getting outplayed by the other reaper. After all, Rei was no idiot - he knew when he was outclassed.]

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy lands on the ground and shuffles a hoof nervously. That laugh was... creepy.

Oh, come on, I can totally show him up!
Fluttercruel, no, it isn't nice.
...Fine, but you're no bucking fun.]

Um... We both try to help each other...

[sunnydwithagun]

(Django has been watching him this whole time, so to see him go to a bar almost feels...strange. Is he leading people on? Or is he really just going around the town as he feels? He's really not sure, but the only way to find out for sure is to go right on through.

He enters the bar, wandering around for a few minutes before he's able to relocate the GM. He approaches cautiously, but casually. Confronting the big boss like this has usually lead up to a battle right then and there. He hopes that won't be the case with people around, but he's prepared just in case. Django nods towards him.)

Hello.

[reaper_sport]

[Took someone long enough. To be honest, he thought the zebra and her nerdy friend would be the first in. Casual as ever, the GM tucks up one leg and leans against it as he regards the player.]

Ah, our first Player drawn by greed to the gates of Hell. Bravo, bravo.

[sunnydwithagun]

I don't know if I would call it greed, but I can only assume so much if this is hell. After all, I'm still keeping an eye out for Cerberus.

(Hooray for metaphorical speak and a reference to the mission in the same sentence. Quite a kid, isn't he?)

[reaper_sport]

[...Really? What did this Game think it was pulling...]

Well, Cerberus is said to rest right outside the gates of Hell, so... have you checked outside?

[He sounds a bit annoyed. Did this kid get born with no sense of metaphor?]

[sunnydwithagun]

(He kind of has one! It's just mixed in with derp. And both like to show up at random times.)

That depends on which part of this town you consider Hell. Coincidentally, I wanted to ask you about that. Ask you a few things, actually.

[shinbunshinobi]

You've got a point there.

[He gives a glance around the area they are at. He's gotten a good look of the city area by this point in the week, but he still wishes he was still in Japan, where it's a lot more telling to see what's out of place.]

[reaper_sport]

Get in line.

[This was all gonna be questions for the rest of the night, wasn't it?]

[sunnydwithagun]

(That's what happens when you end up looking so suspicious. And you know, the whole GM thing. Sorry bro.)

Is there someone I should wait for to go first or are you just looking to take a break after running around?

[leggierissimo]

True, but rushing into things could mean even more losses.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

And of course we can always follow the Walls
Since they block us from where duty calls.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Haste makes waste, and brings great cost
But she who hesitates is lost.
In light of both of these rules
We must be quick, without being fools.

[reaper_sport]

Maybe I don't want to deal with Players unless you think there's a reason I should. Rhyming zebras were bad enough.

[reaper_sport]

...meaning you're both stepping on each others' toes constantly.

[Rei hasn't forgotten Joshua, but, well. Any excuse to keep from answering questions that could be used against him.]

[shy_kindness]

[What are toes...?
I think they're those things Spike has. I'm pretty sure Old Man had some, too. You know, on their legs, attached to their feet.
Oh. Okay.]

Um... We don't have any toes.

[reaper_sport]

[facepalm.jpg]

Hooves. Whatever. Definitely a piece of work, you.

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy frowns and keeps Fluttercruel from coming out and complaining about that comment.]

I've been trying to become a better pony...

[reaper_sport]

You're fine the way you are.

Perfect for this Game, I think.

[THERE'S a backhanded compliment if he ever gave one.]

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy tilts her head, curious. Fluttercruel wonders how they're perfect for the game, too.

'Shy modestly hides behind her mane.]

...How are we perfect? We've... only just stared...

[shinbunshinobi]

That is the easiest way out of a maze.

[Sasuke walks a bit and well what do you know?]

Looks like there's one right here.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Then here must be where we begin.
Off we go, for a quick win!

[shinbunshinobi]

[[ooc: Should we head to another section or leave it at this?]]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[[They could always go harass the reaper. He seems to be quite the creeper.]]

[shinbunshinobi]

[[Sounds like fun. Let's harass the creeper reaper.]]
