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.]]

[Wait until 'Cruel tells him about her father.]

Um... it's nice to meet you, Joshua.

[leggierissimo]

[Joshua just gives her an amused sort of smile.]

You don't seem like the Reaper type. I suppose your counterpart takes over in that department?

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttershy turns into Fluttercruel and smirks.]

Don't count 'Shy out too soon. She had a wall yesterday. But she's agreed to let me do today's mission so she doesn't have to.

[leggierissimo]

Ah, my mistake~ Though it seems like wall clearing requirements tend to be cookies and cocoa on average, so I suppose it's fitting enough. And if you're willing to take over being a harrier, you must be particularly vicious.

[needsmorezippers]

Is this normal? Not having the final condition being 'beat the GM'?

[leggierissimo]

Not to my knowledge. It's always been a pretty final thing.

[cruel_kindness]

What can I say? Sometimes it's better to be cruel to be kind.

[Fluttercruel's, like, the walking, flying embodiment of that phrase.]

[needsmorezippers]

Any reason you can think of that they wouldn't be doing that? Assuming the GM doesn't get to decide.

[leggierissimo]

Ah? Is that so?

[He's just kind of amused now, really.]

[cruel_kindness]

Duh. What'd'you think my cutie mark's for? Being a bucking model?

[There's an image on her butt. It's two hooves, as if someone's helping someone else off of the ground.]

[leggierissimo]

Well, different Games have different sets of rules, so it's hard to say. But I'd say it's more likely someone above the GMs is setting this rule in place.

[leggierissimo]

[... this is sounding more and more like a twisted children's toy franchise by the minute.]

Well, it's a shame we aren't allowed to directly touch the Players today, hm? Otherwise I'm sure you would show them a thing or two.

[cruel_kindness]

['Cruel shrugs it off.]

Meh. They're still being challenged anyway.

[needsmorezippers]

Why?

[juuichi_yosamu]

[Grovyle doesn't ask questions about how the higher-ups run their game, but... well, he's earned more than his share as a harrier and wall reaper the past week, to say nothing of keeping Kreutzer from killing anybody and the "special assignment" on day 5. For once, he's actually taking a page from Kreutzer's book and... just not caring, today. Or rather, he's "technically" harrying, but later in the day one might see him searching through the town.]

[leggierissimo]

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing them run after someone that's likely faster and more agile than the majority of them.

[leggierissimo]

Just a feeling I'm starting to get. It seems like our clues so far have all been pointing upward.

[cruel_kindness]

Whatever floats your boat. We're only here because we're dead.

[needsmorezippers]

Is there any good reason for doing that?

[leggierissimo]

It doesn't bother you that this isn't wherever you came from before?

[cruel_kindness]

Oh. That.

[Fluttercruel slumps a little bit.]

...We're trying not to freak the buck out about it. Besides, I've died before this, so we can definitely fight our way out of here.

[leggierissimo]

None that I can see.

Though, I did come up with an interesting theory.

[needsmorezippers]

What it is?

[leggierissimo]

Oh? Well, good luck with that. Considering this Game was in an entirely different city last week and it will likely be somewhere else come tomorrow, it might be a little hard to find your way out.

[cruel_kindness]

[That... could be a bit of a problem. Transporting from place to place might hinder her escaping death.]

...Tch. We'll keep on trying to kick Tartarus in the face. Our friends are probably feeling horrible.
