Reaped Rewards: Aqua Ghost
Mission Rewards: Adamantite
Bonus Reward: Love Me Tether

[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...]]

[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?]

[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.]

[vexed_snake]

You wouldn't be so cocky if I were allowed to get in there and fight myself. These creatures are useless...

[Asakura's losing his composure. Why are these monsters so incompetent? And why can't he just take care of things directly? He's practically quivering with barely-contained rage.]

These two XD

[shinbunshinobi]

[It's getting more and more tempting to see if the rock Santa gave him will do anything against a Reaper, but that would require him stopping and getting the rock out in the first place. A waste of time.]

But you can't, and with every Noise I defeat, I become stronger. I should thank you for that.

It's beautiful. XD

[vexed_snake]

[Well, at least that statement stopped Asakura from bringing out any more Noise. He'd been just about to add a few more to the fray.]

Enjoy it while you can. Sooner or later, I'll get to attack you directly.

[He hopes because aaaaaarrrrgh so vexed. He emphasizes his point by punching a nearby wall.]

They hate each other so much

[shinbunshinobi]

[What a relief because even Sasuke can't keep fighting Noise the whole day, especially a ton a big guys like this.]

You'll have to catch me first.

[And eventually he's able to finish off the last Drake.]

So, didn't we bet that you have to wear a Santa hat and be nice for the rest of the day if I win?

Especially now because Santa hat.

[vexed_snake]

You say that like you think I can be nice.

And I don't see any hats around here.

[What, snake-man trying to slither away from a loss? How shocking.]

But red can symbolize his vexation so well!

[shinbunshinobi]

Well, that's part of the challenge, isn't it? And finding a hat can't be too difficult.

Unless you're telling me that someone as powerful as yourself can't handle either?

But he likes purple better!

[vexed_snake]

[He is glaring. So much glaring. ALL THE GLARING. And that jab at his power is only making things worse.]

Finding a hat was never part of this.

[This is, of course, assuming he'll even hold to his end of the bargain in the first place...]

Would a purple Santa hat be better?

[shinbunshinobi]

[Sasuke is enjoying this too much.]

Well then you wait here, and I'll get you one.

[He turns to leave but then stops and turns right back around.]

Oh and if you're not here when I come back, I'll have no problem going around telling everyone about how you were too much of a coward to carry through with his end of the bet... that he was too scared to wear a Santa hat and be nice for a day.

Nah, stick with traditional red. Just makes it more vexing for him.

[vexed_snake]

[WAIT however could you have guessed that Asakura was planning on getting the heck out of there? His next words come out in a growl.]

Oh, I'll be here.

[While Sasuke is gone, Asakura's going to be scouring every inch of that area in an attempt to find a suitable reflective surface to let his giant snake out to play. He'll fail, get ticked off, and attack a wall until he falls over onto his back. He may or may not be sleeping when Sasuke returns.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[Sasuke grins. So, threatening/blackmailing with his image works. He'll remember that. He does come back with a standard Santa hat and tosses it at Asakura when he's in range.]

Merry Christmas~

[vexed_snake]

[Hey, he worked hard for that unstable murderous crazy man image of his.

...and it doesn't look like he's going to put that hat on. Not unlike a very spoiled child, really.]

[shinbunshinobi]

I can put it on your head for you if you don't know how to wear one.

[And then he'll pull it hard down over his eyes.]

[vexed_snake]

[Good thing Asakura can't see with that hat over his eyes, because he's blindly and reflexively attempted to take a swing at Sasuke in response. He'll then reach up and readjust the hat so that he can at least see. Dude still looks pretty angry.

But hey, he didn't give into his first urge to yank that thing off and stomp on it.]

[shinbunshinobi]

Remember, you have to be nice the rest of the day, or else I'm telling~

[Sasuke laughs to himself and begins to walk away. Even if he hasn't completely the second mission, Sasuke is please enough with the results.]

[vexed_snake]

[As Sasuke's walking away, Asakura comes very, very close to flinging a snowball at the other's head.

Instead, he stalks away to nurse his wounded pride and lay low for a while...and let's be honest. As soon as Sasuke's well out of the area, he's probably destroying the hat. Holding up his end of a bargain just isn't something he's good at.]
