[Scanning the area, a little girl is thinking fondly about a recent trip to Shinjuku's Fire Museum. It seems they have a red helicopter on a floor of the building...]



[.... But how can you get it to fly? The controls are locked, so you'll have to find another way.]

CLEARED!

[Nope. If Sasuke continues to stare at it, he'll begin to hear a cacophony of voices, chattering to no one in particular. It's so noisy that nothing can be made out yet, but some of them sound closer than others. This kid, for example.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[He's well aware of the rise in noise and the one that sounds the loudest]

Well, well. Maybe this pin does something after all.

[Sasuke activates his pin and takes a look at the kid.]

[wonderful_mods]

[The girl is playing with a digital camera. Her thoughts become clear.]

( I still can't believe the Fire Museum by the Yotsuya-sanchome train station was actually interesting. Never knew they used stuff other than the trucks to fight fires... I even got to dress up and pretend to be a pilot!

... this picture in the outfit is a little embarrassing though... I guess it'll be my secret. )

[shinbunshinobi]

I'd thank you for that scoop, but it'd just be a waste of breath on your ears.

[A mind reading pin for the people not playing the game, huh. Eavesdropping for information just got a whole lot easier. Possible location and solution found. He tacks the pin to his headband for easy access in the future. If the copter is at the museum, then there's probably not going to be any real flying. Which means the "pilot"...]

Ah, but does that mean I have to play dress-up to finish this mission? I don't think Miss Zebra's gonna be able to.

[The things he does for a mission... Just like back home, only with higher stakes.]

[wonderful_mods]

[Sasuke's not the only one paying attention to the little girl. This reaper, upon learning the mission, had paid a field trip to the museum and decided to follow one of the RGers - naturally, he picked the one who seemed most excited about being there. After all, she'd be the bait for a studious Player. He hung out of sight, wings folded inconspicuously under his back.

This Player sounds pretty weird out of context, though. Maybe he'll be a decent target? The Reaper comes forward. ]

Look at this Player talkin' about dress-up and zebras. Man, I think I gotta make this harder for you!

[As he says that, he's summoning a couple of Hard Corehogs that materialize next to Sasuke. And of course, he's sticking around to ensure that they can't be escaped from.]

[shinbunshinobi]

Don't you know it's rude to eavesdrop like that, Mr. Reaper?

[Of course it wouldn't have been that easy. Damn it. Sasuke hopes Zecora's okay. He jumps a bit away from the hedgehog Noise. Lucky for him, he's got a better handle on his pin, but now he's outnumbered instead of the other way around.]

Here I go!

[He activates his Go 2 Hell pin and dashes toward the Noise.]

[wonderful_mods]

[He shrugs. Being a Reaper as long as he has, he's been called a lot worse things than 'rude.'

The noise don't seem to move very fast, so he lands a good hit on one. It turns its back and seems to be trying to walk away. The other corehog starts letting loose its quills, which fly toward Sasuke.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[Hoping he can hit two birds with one stone, he activates his pin again to hit the retreating corehog while dodging the incoming quills, but Sasuke grunts as he feels a few quills hit him. He didn't get out of range fast enough. He's got a few more before his pin needs to recharge, so time to hit them hard and fast before they can do the same to him.]

[wonderful_mods]

[those quills are no laughing matter. The Corehog that he lunged at stuck more out from its backside before it's erased, and the quills that were left on the ground when they missed him? Well, he should try to avoid them, because they're starting to flash - in a few seconds, they'll explode!]

[shinbunshinobi]

[Which Sasuke soon discovers.]

Damn it! You guys just have all sorts of tricks, now don't you?!

[He really wishes he had a more long range attack right about now.]

[wonderful_mods]

Not supposed to be easy, bud!

[But at least the Corehog is slow. It shoots more quills, but they land beyond Sasuke. Now's a good shot.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[This means war, Mr. Reaper. Sasuke uses his Croc Leisure and moves straight into another strike attack aimed directly at the last corehog. The hit connects.]
