[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.... ]

(Huh...well that's a simple condition for a wall. Oh well; Kreutzer doesn't mind. She's actually in a poor mood because of the change of location. It's nothing against the cold, but something she wanted to keep from last week didn't come with her and she's pretty depressed about that. And it shows.

She's not in the mood for harrying (or dressing warmly, apparently), so she puts up a wall in front of the gate and waits for players who'll fulfill the requirements.)

[vexed_snake]

[Oh, look, it's that girl that was there when the Incident That Never Happened with the pony was a thing. Asakura's been in a fouler mood than usual what with all the Christmas cheer going on, and he's not been able to find any Players to harry. Might as well go make a little conversation to amuse himself.]

Someone looks down in the dumps.

[He is far, far too happy about that.]

[suicidoll]

(Oh, wonderful. Him. Is he seriously looking to start something? Oh well; his funeral.)

And if I am?

[juuichi_yosamu]

[Grovyle is settled up close to the wall, himself. He hadn't had any orders to keep an eye on Kreutz after last week, but he seemed interested in sticking around anyway. He doesn't say anything without provocation, just making sure she's aware of his presence.]

[suicidoll]

(A glance over helps Kreutzer become aware of his presence. A welcome luxury, honestly; at least she had something-- no. Someone by her side.

It wouldn't be right to say she was on her best behavior; that would imply she was actually trying. Unlike before when she chose not to, here she literally can't. Still, she's doing the job regardless.)

...You'll freeze if you stay out here with me.

(At least her concern is genuine.)

[slacksoff]

[--OW. Congratulations, Kreutzer. It wasn't necessarily intentional, but maybe seeing some idiot run face first will lighten the mood just a bit? He didn't exactly think to see if there might've been a wall there...

...Just give him several seconds to recover from the fall, and recover some of his dignity as well.]

[suicidoll]

(Careful; you might've dropped that pride in the snow. Make sure not to lose it; it's like looking for contact lenses.

What that little stunt does, however, is draw her attention away from her sadness. Not enough to make her laugh, but it's a step up.)

...Congratulations; you found the wall.

(And a little sarcasm. That's a plus.)

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Another week, another wall.
What must we do to make this fall?

[Don't mind Zecora's mild bitterness. Week 3 has begun with her still playing, after all.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji's not really thinking about his Reaper duties right now. The snow must have frozen his mind or something. Or, you know, he's just being as lazy as usual.

If any Players pass, they'll find him wandering around the tree, picking up presents to shake them. Wonder if any of them have their names on them!]

[vexed_snake]

[There's another Reaper flying about the area, looking for Players to harass harry, when he spots Ryoji walking around shaking presents.

Well, now Asakura's curious.]

What are you doing?

[shinbunshinobi]

[Someone is doing the tried and true method of following the walls because he has no idea what a "tannenbaum" is.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[Ironically, Zecora knows what it is (more or less), but has been staying quiet with her own thoughts today. At least she's dressed for the weather...]

[slacksoff]

[...Tannenbaum? That...is a word. It is a word that Leon cannot decipher for the life of him. ...No, seriously. What is a Tannenbaum and where does he need to look? He's really just losing his ability to understand what's going on.

...Well, sort of losing. It's cold out, and that town looks very welcoming. And it's warm. He's running to it--he'll find out what a tannenwhatsit is later.

TO THE WAAAAARM.]

1/2

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel comes right the fuck out of nowhere and looks as if she's about to tackle this unsuspecting player.]

2/2

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy then takes control.]

Oh, um, sorry... I don't mean to be a bother, but have you seen a dog around here anywhere?

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji's sitting near the tree when he spots Leon. Oh my goodness, best bro! He excitedly waves Leon over.]

Leon-san! There's presents!

[Come check them out! Just, you know, don't collide with that key wall.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[Well, if it isn't the Player who had lost his pins.]

Hey, you made it.

[sunnydwithagun]

(Django has a faint idea of what that word might be. His world is filled with a similar language thingy (since things like Jormungandr or Hreslvegr are sort of German), but even if he didn't know, it was pretty obvious that they were meant to go to town and that big, pretty tree, so off he goes!

...but after one handwaved meeting with the wall reaper, he learned that he can't go through without a partner. Oh well; having a partner is supposed to be a good thing. So have one (1) solar boy make his approach.)

Have you figured out the mission yet? It's kind of tricky since it's another language, but not so hard, when you think about it.

[tamedhollow]

[Guess who's NOT doing anything Reaper related today? This Hollow. It's too cold and he's rebelling.

So instead, he's in his RG form, browsing the weapons and armor]

This is like an RPG... geez, why is everything so expensive?

[juuichi_yosamu]

[Guess who's on an errand for Kreutzer? And getting a few nervous stares as he does so.]

Maybe it actually is. Your world isn't where I was from, so who's saying we aren't in another world like what you're suggesting?

[Thankfully, he's found that the RGers here are really, really interested in the Pin he'd offered - one he couldn't use from his days as a Player. It's something they'd never seen before, so he could name his own prices.]

[needsmorezippers]

It really is.

[Neku doesn't play a lot of video games, but he knows enough. He came in to look for a hat or something because fuck this weather.]

Are there any normal clothes anywhere?

[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.]

[needsmorezippers]

[Neku is sick of this place already. It's freezing, everything is expensive, and there are these little blob things everywhere. He doesn't want to stand still and man a wall, and it seems like others have got it down already. Might as well explore while harrying, right?]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji spots Neku wandering around and excitedly waves him over to his spot under the Christmas tree.]

Hey! Neku-kun, come look!

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy spots another reaper. Maybe he knows where Kreutzer's dog is...?]

Um, excuse me, sir...
