Wall Rewards: Whirlygig Juggle
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...]]

[The Flutters might definitely need some cheering up. Between not being able to find Kreutzer's dog and not being able to get a sword, they might need it. Fluttercruel's manning the wall, and she's going to try to make cheering them up difficult.]

[leggierissimo]

[Too bad her first customer isn't a Player at all.]

Well, someone's got a long face.

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel looks over to the voice. Oh, it's Joshua. She sighs.]

Meh.

[leggierissimo]

Oh, I didn't know you could do sheep impressions. That's quite a talent.

[Purposely being an ass GO~]

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel glares at Joshua.]

Does it look like I'm in the bucking mood?

[leggierissimo]

Oh, not particularly. Why?

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel sighs.]

...We couldn't find Kreutzer's bucking dog and I still don't have a sword.

[leggierissimo]

[Smallest violin, 'Cruel.]

I suppose animals don't make the transition with us. As for the sword... join the rest of us that don't have one.

[cruel_kindness]

And that's why you should go buck your head off into a frozen lake.

[Besides, you're not a player. She's going to try to make cheering up impossible for other Reapers.]

[leggierissimo]

Well, there's no need to be that rude. Though I fail to see your reasoning as to why I should.

[Does it count if he wasn't trying?]

[cruel_kindness]

Tch...

[Fluttercruel just lays own on her stomach, facing away from Joshua. She didn't do any Reaper stuff the first 2 days of the week, and she can't continue on like that, so she's actually doing her job.]

I got assigned wall duty and only players can cheer us up. I even convinced, 'Shy to shut it so she doesn't cheer me up.

[leggierissimo]

Wow. You sound like you're taking this fairly seriously.

Good thing I had no intention of cheering you up in the first place, then.

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel grunts in response to that. But really? She's heard that Santa Claus gives out presents to those that are nice. She's being nice the only way she knows how to: Being cruel to be kind. These challenges help out the players in the long run or so she thinks.]

Good. Now go away and let me do my bucking job.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[Behold the zebra, as she casually steps up to the wall.]

Good day to you, Flutter pair.
Is that a Wall that I see there?

[cruel_kindness]

[Oh, a player.]

Hey, Zecks.

[She doesn't sound too enthusiastic.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

You sound to be in a dark mood.
Should I bring you hot chocolate, or comfort food?

[It sure wouldn't be the first time she's cleared a wall doing that.]

[cruel_kindness]

Whatever helps cheer us up.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Perhaps if I knew why you were down
I could better help banish that frown.

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel sighs and sags her head.]

I couldn't find Kreutzer's dog or get a sword...

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Now that statement I can't leave ignored --
Why in Equestria did you want a sword?

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttercruel look at Zecora like she grew a second head.]

...Swords are cool, that's why the buck I want one! Plus I can have something to hug while I sleep...

I feel like a hypocrite, typing this tag while my desktop background is Rainbow Dash with a sword...

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

It's fine to say a sword looks 'cool'
But remember, it's not fashion, but a tool.
At best it will deal painful hurts
At worst, let life's blood out in spurts.
Do you truly have much to gain
By causing other people pain?

[cruel_kindness]

What? I'm not going to use it on anyone!

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Nor would your mother, so demure
But accidents can still occur.
A sharpened edge can still cut
No matter how you might say 'but'.
Better to leave a sword with its edged brothers
Than risk accidental harm to yourself or others.

[cruel_kindness]

But... but they're so bucking cool! Do you realize how cool it would be owning a sword!?
