[It seems this week's GM is pretty easy-going, as this is another simple mission... it seems that spirits are still somewhat down amidst the RG, to say nothing of the Reapers. Obviously, one or more of them need to be happy to clear the mission. But which ones?

Strangely, all phones will get a second mail a few minutes after the first, though it's a little different than the mission mail... it actually seems to be in a somewhat stylized script, and reads quite differently.]

While those in this Game are carrying out your mission, there is one grinch who seems to be quite intent on befouling the name of this town and perhaps all of Christmas! Perhaps if you could find it in your heart to spread a little Christmas cheer to that snakey soul, Santa might have an extra present for you!

Ho ho ho~!

[This... doesn't seem to be part of the mission, but is it a prank? Santa does live in town...]

[[OOC note: Just like W2D7, you get a secondary mission! It's not gonna be easy, though, and the Reaper in question definitely did NOT agree to such a thing...]]

[Leon puts his own pin back in his pocket before taking a look over at Demyx's pin an--

...Waaaaaait, give him a second to look at that again. He remembers seeing that pin before--the lady GM used it against him, but he's...never actually seen it in action.]

Damn, I've seen that pin before! Only in a Tin Pin game though...I haven't actually seen it in action.

[needsmorezippers]

Yea, it is.

[He glances back at the wall, and shrugs.]

...What the hell. You cleared it. [Here, have a Whirlygig Juggle.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji isn't too worried, either. He just laughs, a lot cruelly than he normally does.]

Be careful, you may lose more braincells then you can survive without. You already have the brains of a goldfish.

[vexed_snake]

And what if I am?

[That grin widens and he takes a menacing step forward. He's dead and has been the bane of much better police forces than what this place likely has. There is absolutely zero fear of reprisals here.]

[yamagishi]

[STRANGER DANGER STRANGER!

Don't mind Fuuka backing away even further away from the boy compared to before]

And what do you want from me?

[vexed_snake]

[And in the unlikely event he actually finished knitting a scarf, he'd just use it to strangle people.]

Perhaps you should take up something quiet. Like getting erased.

[That was not exactly the greatest comeback ever but he's quite irritated that one of the Drakes didn't make it. These monsters are useless.]

[vexed_snake]

Why, you--

[What little self-control he had left and was exercising in that bit of self-abuse is gone now. He's swinging at Ryoji again.

Good thing he knows which vendors sell healing potions now.]

[vexed_snake]

[He just laughs and takes another step closer. Lucky for her he can't actually do anything to her unless he wants to get kicked out of the Reaper's Game.]

Nothing, really. I'm just bored. And being bored vexes me.

[yamagishi]

[She's just that trollable isn't she?]

Then...what do you do here when you're bored? Outside of making other people scared.

[Still backing away though]

[vexed_snake]

Sometimes I steal things. Or burn things. Or smash things. I've been known to kill other people if I get vexed enough...

[At this point, he's just waiting for her to turn to run away from him, at which point he'll vanish into the UG just to be an even more unsettling ass about the whole thing.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji takes the blow, staggering back a bit, but he recovers quickly and transforms, the more monstrous side of things taking over as he roars.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[Zecora breathes a sigh of relief. She truly has no idea how she could have handled two massive, near-boss-level Noise by herself.]

Thank you for your timely arrival
To help me deal with this newfound rival!

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

You are stuck here at this Wall
It's your duty to make it rise and fall.
Why should I make you wait
Until the Game ends to spend a coin or eight?

[roadroller]

I remember everything!

[The people she loves, the things that happened.]

... Just not song lyrics. ♪

[shy_kindness]

Oh. Um...

[Fluttershy knows she's a reaper along with 'Cruel. Right now, she's telling 'Shy not to screw this up and accept Zecora's help. She shuffles a hoof in the ground.]

Um... okay. You can... buy a cloak for us.

[shinbunshinobi]

Oh, did I cheer you up?

[He laughs, and he really could continue the teasing as he takes the pin. However.]

Ah hell.

Thanks for keeping an eye on my partner. I don't know all the details, but you and Ichigo's help made passing that mission a lot easier.

[And probably possible to beat.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[Extreme knitting to say the least]

Oh, I can be very quiet if I feel like it, but where's the fun in that?

[He targets one Drake again for the bulk of his attack, clearly lessening the numbers to make the fight easier to handle.]

[yamagishi]

[Well, if it was possible, Fuuka was starting to get angry with him but she'll just make sure that she stays calm]

And what makes you think that those are good things to do?

[But she is starting to turn her back against him]

[vexed_snake]

[Suddenly arriving help of the heroic kind? How vexing.]

It doesn't matter how many of you there are--I'll still win in the end.

[vexed_snake]

[Oh, great. It's the monster again. Asakura's still in a combat position, and he knows punching Thanatos is bad.

...and now he's spotted what looks like a busted broomstick sticking out of a conveniently-located nearby trashcan. He arms himself with it and rushes at Thanatos.]

[vexed_snake]

You'd certainly be less vexing if you were...

[He is scowling as Sasuke's strategy appears to be paying off. If ridiculously large amounts of large Noise don't do anything, then what good are they?]

[vexed_snake]

They're the sorts of things that make me feel alive.

[Oh, he's far, far too amused at that...and he's just waiting for her to fully turn away before he vanishes.]

[shinbunshinobi]

What a coincidence, so would you. I think... a thesaurus would also help.

[Sasuke's feeling much better about this fight, back in control. If he knew the Reaper's thought, he might have a few suggestions, but far be it that he would willingly tell him of them.]

[sunnydwithagun]

Well there's only one way to find out!

(Django approaches Zecora.)

Are you alright? Do you need a rest?

[yamagishi]

If they do, then perhaps it would be best to find someone else to do...

[And with that, Fuuka immediately turned her back on him before walking off. It was rare but if Fuuka was mad, she'll make sure that she lets her voice be heard. Still, she can't help but look back to see if he was following her]
