[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...]]

Tin Pin's a game you play on this sorta table-- [Give him a second here, he's gonna grab...some random noodle implement that's got enough of a point to start drawing out a board on there.]

Don't know much about it-- [Finished! He puts it down and points to it.] But you gotta use your mind to move the pins and try to knock the other off the board. Like...pinball, kinda! If pinball was two players trying to knock the other off.

[Thanatos stares at Asakura a long time, completely silent. He's angry. So angry right now. Asakura threatened to hurt people, and everyone in the Game right now is his friend. Hurting anyone would mean Ryoji would have to get revenge.

And he would deserve it. Erasing him would save everyone else, wouldn't it? Death is a natural part of life. It was time to Asakura to face his end for good.

Thanatos slowly moves his sword away from Asakura, swipes it back, and all of a sudden, it's cutting through the air, getting closer to making a perfect stab in Asakura's throat.]

[But in a split second, it seems to change its course, aiming for the wall just an inch away from Asakura's neck. It was traveling so fast, it actually gets embedded in it, and Thanatos tugs at it for a moment, sliding it out. His grip falters immediately after, dropping the blade.

And then he just howls.]

[Even if he's a little punch-drunk, Asakura tenses up at that first swing...and smirks once he realizes what happened.

He throws his head back and laughs as he unsteadily gets to his feet.]

I knew it. You couldn't--

[Abruptly, his eyes get wide, and he goes crashing to the ground again, panting in exhaustion. Someone's too wiped out to move.]

[notsogrimreaper]

... I will allow defeat to be your punishment for now. If you continue to hurt others for your own version of happiness, I will not miss next time.

[With that, Thanatos reverts back to Ryoji, who just turns and starts walking away. He's not going to bother helping him up. He's already wasted too much time on this.]

[vexed_snake]

[There's a bit of a snarl at the word "punishment," and Asakura would have said something...only he was much too tired. He's lying there in a heap for quite a while before going off to lick his wounds somewhere.]

[ninthmelody]

[The explanation earns him a blank stare from Demyx- it's not that he didn't get it, it was straightforward and he's smarter than he lets on- but he's hung up on something.]

You move them with your mind?

[ninthmelody]

Oh, right, 'cause these things are timed. [Not that he's actually completing them...]

[sunnydwithagun]

Then we'll just have to see if we fight one out of him.

(Django can keep fighting as long as it takes to get things finished. And that's just accounting for his shounen hero-level willpower.)
