[After a long trek through the snowy field, a row of fancy heat lamps and a stone gate finally come into view. Through it, the town of Lutie is visible, and looking quite welcoming with its Christmas greetings everywhere. Compared to the frozen tundra, you'll want to hurry inside - just try not to let the wall hit you on the way in! And once the gate is passed, the first thing you'll see is a massive Christmas Tree.... ]

Comments

[vexed_snake]

That's the idea.

[Asakura just seems amused at Ryoji's distress at the package-kicking, so he'll pick up another one and try the same thing because he's a jerk that way.]

[suicidoll]

And yet I'm still being more productive than you are. Leave now before you annoy me further.

(Last warning, bro. Kreutz has had just about enough of you.)

[vexed_snake]

And if I don't?

[Someone is not taking warnings well. Too bad for him.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Well... Just let me know if you think of anything, okay? You're a good person, Neku-kun. I'd like to thank you in any way I can.

[needsmorezippers]

Um... ok. Thanks.

[neku hasn't received presents from friends in ages how does this work.]

[notsogrimreaper]

You're welcome!

[Don't ask him, he's the one celebrating Christmas for the first time. He's just going off of what he saw in the movies!]

[needsmorezippers]

...How long have you been out here? [also, when was the last time you actually earned any points...?]

[suicidoll]

Then there won't be enough of you left for a burial. Final warning.

(You sure you wanna piss her off? You sure?)

[shinbunshinobi]

You seem well versed in the different creatures of your world. Why don't you tell me about a few while we follow these wall? You know, to pass the time.

[leggierissimo]

Judging by the monsters just outside of town and the array of weapons and armor shops in what appears to be a quaint little northern town, an RPG might not be all that far off.

[Hey Ichigo, look who is also shirking his duties and scanning over the available armor! It's the same as shopping in Shibuya, except more... LARP-esque.]

[tamedhollow]

[he frowns again] I have some pins left over... from prizes and stuff that never got given out. Do you think we could sell those? I mean, I have to eat Noise anyway, they drop pins sometimes when I do that. And if this IS an RPG... [he looks out past the edge of town into the forest] ... There should be monsters out there that will drop stuff. Stuff we can sell.

[tamedhollow]

Well, you could wither and.... Erase? Autoerase? ... I don't even know if that's a thing. Look, I have some extra clothes if you get cold. I managed to drag a little suitcase with me from Romania.

[tamedhollow]

So there ARE monsters outside of town. I hadn't checked yet. [he gives Josh a little grin. Seems like everyone wants to play hooky today. Not like there's not enough Reapers out and about to cover the job just fine, anyway] I'm hoping to get a sword, but man... my money's not gonna go very far. So I guess... if this is an RPG, what I should do to get money is kill monsters, right?

[leggierissimo]

Little slime balls, yes. [He's clearly amused. He's also going more for the mage gear here.] That's typically what they do in RPGs, from what I gather! I don't see much point in leveling up, but grinding for money or items is also commonplace.

[needsmorezippers]

[...Huh. He hadn't thought of that.] That could work... if there are monsters. But it can't hurt to try and find out.

[vexed_snake]

[He laughs.]

I seriously doubt you could really do anything.

[But there are no mirrors in the area, he's quick to forget...]

[notsogrimreaper]

I don't know, a few hours, I guess? Why?

[Points shmoints. The higher-ups seem confident that Death will still be the best Reaper ever even if he's a total wimp.]

[needsmorezippers]

No reason. [sigh]

[notsogrimreaper]

Why would you want to break them? They're something special for people!

[Hurries over to Asakura, swiping the gift away and just glaring.]

[suicidoll]

(Welp, she gave you a warning. Challenge accepted.

With a wave of her arm, she summons a group of Leaf dolls to shoot streams of leaf blade-like bullets at Asakura.)

[suicidoll]

There's always the old saying "It's not what you have; it's how you use it."

...If I heard correctly, that's how you cleared yesterday's mission, isn't it? Very clever.

[vexed_snake]

Because it's fun.

[Asakura seems totally unaffected by the glare, if not a little amused.]

[vexed_snake]

[Before Asakura can laugh at the dolls and open up with a little mockery, they've opened fire on him. The streams of bullets give him a rather unpleasant flashback to his death, and he's automatically drawn his Advent Deck--only there's nothing reflective in the area. The Deck is useless.]

How vexing...

[He's just going to be dodging those bullets and trying to get his sorry butt out of there in one piece now...]

[suicidoll]

(Run run run, little Kamen Rider. And be thankful that she's not detonating any of their bombs; she wants to intimidate without getting another slap on the wrist like she did on the first week. Unless he chooses to stick around and taunt her for some reason.)

[vexed_snake]

[If he thought he stood a chance of winning, he'd stay around and try to taunt. But without his powers, he's not as willing to stick around and get shot at. He does the smart thing and keeps running off.]
