WEEK 4 DAY 1: MISSION

[wonderful_mods]

Mission: Make an offering to God.
Time Limit: Medium
Noise Plane: Duet
Wall Instructions: Key walls around the Naganaki Shrine. Condition must be a Pact. Seal off the dorm and school.
Wall Rewards: Chaos
Reaped Rewards: One Stroke, Vast Wealth
Mission Rewards: 1000 yen

[It's a slightly different mission than the standard "go here" you get on the first day, although that's still basically what it amounts to. There's a shrine not far from the train station, and it has a Donation Box ...

However, the task is more difficult than what may have been anticipated by veterans of the game, for as soon as the mission mail appears and the timer appears on the Players' hands, the stray noise in the area begin to attack any Players without a pact... better hope you're not alone.]

(Sup, Ichigo. Any chance you remember this girl waaaaaaaaaay back from week 1? That crazy one? Yeah, here she is again. Except much more sane solemn. And wingless. And walking around as if she can't see a damn thing. Spoilers: she can't.

So once she eventually rests her hand on the wall after feeling her way around the area, the shock from the touch makes her draw it back. So that's what it felt like...nope; not pleasant at all. Completely unaware of the note, Kreutzer simply wait for a Reaper to give further instruction.)

[tamedhollow]

[Oh yes, he remembers you. You blew up an entire city block for no goddamn reason like some sort of idiot. Ichigo actually just... watches her from a tree for a moment. No wings, stumbling around like she can't see... Very suspicious.

He jumps down to address her]

Well if it isn't that chick who thought blowing stuff up would be fun. Demoted?

[suicidoll]

(She had a mental relapse. That's her story and she's sticking to it.

Not like that makes it excusable; even the Conductor still flaunts that in her face and would expect anyone else to do the same. Especially the guy who kicked her ass when it happened.)

Not for that incident, but yes. This is because of something else that happened last week.

...You're welcome to laugh, if you so choose; you wouldn't be the first.

[tamedhollow]

[uh sure. Whatever. We'll go with that.

But you deserved that ass kicking]

... Right. I heard about that, too. A bunch of RGers got killed because of you. But I'm not going to laugh. You're blind, aren't you? [he waves a hand in front of her face] That's enough punishment.

[suicidoll]

(Yes. Yes she certainly did.)

That's just my entry fee. The reason I haven't been erased is since they attacked me first, spouting nonsense about raid bosses and monsters.

(Guess who's not familiar with video games. And awkwardly shuffling a bit.)

...Though I should thank you for stopping me during that first incident.

[tamedhollow]

... Yeah. That world was literally an RPG. A role playing game. They all came back to life, which is why I'm not really upset. But you can't pull shit like that again. Ever.

Hmph. You're welcome, I guess.

Anyway. Wall conditions. Do you have money on you?

[suicidoll]

I see...still, if the supposed glitch is fixed, then there won't be an encore.

(She reaches into her pocket and takes out several money pins of varying value, but nothing beyond 1,000 yen.) I'm not quite sure how much I have, however...

[tamedhollow]

[Ichigo takes the yen pins out of her hand]

Open both your hands.

[he places most of her pins back into her left hand, then places a 50 yen pin in her right hand] Your right hand has a 50 yen pin in it. You'll need it to complete today's mission. You'll also need a partner to get through the next wall, so get to finding someone. Wall clear.

[suicidoll]

(After listening to the instructions, Kreutzer nods and pockets the remaining yen pins, keeping the 50 yen pin separate from the others.)

Are we back in Japan? Nearly all of the RGers I've stumbled across here speak Japanese and I believe one of them mentioned a shrine...and praying to pass their exams.

[tamedhollow]

Well, kind of. It's no part of Japan I've ever heard of. But the local language and money are Japanese. [he nods, even though she can't see it] That's the goal. But like I said... you need a pact to pass the next wall.

[suicidoll]

Then the shrine is just ahead...(She giggles.) Ironic, really, that I first find myself before God after following instinct.

Ideally, there's at least one other player without a pact. (She turns to leave, but stops momentarily.)

...Do you think one needs eyes to see the world for what it is?

[tamedhollow]

[A weird, philosophical question. He frowns.]

... Probably not. The world is pretty good at letting everyone know how crappy it can be.

[suicidoll]

(She smirks.) It certainly has its tells. Perhaps how you see the world really is important...

(And with a farewell wave to Ichigo, Kreutzer goes off to search for a partner.)

[tamedhollow]

[Ichigo watches her depart, then goes off again, still continuing his search for clues.]
