WEEK 4 DAY 2: MISSION

[wonderful_mods]

Mission: Clear noise from all stations.
Time Limit: Long
Noise Plane: Duet
Wall Instructions: Place walls throughout the city. Seal off the school and the dorm.
Wall Rewards: Konohana Sakuya
Reaped Rewards: N/A. Due to the nature of today's mission, the Reapers have been ordered to keep their hands (and their noise) off the Players.
Mission Rewards: Purity Launcher

[Today's mission appears simple on the surface, but it's curious, isn't it? Clearing noise entirely from an area will require a lot of fighting, and just like the first day... pacts. Furthermore, what do they mean by "all stations?" Well, when the Players arrived in town, there was certainly a train station or two...]

[andwesucceeded]

That is my destiny. My purpose. To be superior.

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura snorts derisively.]

And yet you're dead and here with the rest of us. Some purpose.

[andwesucceeded]

The living are not part of the Reaper's Game. They cannot gain the strength of the Composer.

[vexed_snake]

You think they'd actually let you gain any power that way?

They've got more power over you than you realize--they're not in the business of giving anyone more.

[He's still bitter over his Deck getting taken from him.]

[andwesucceeded]

Of course not. Power must be taken.

[vexed_snake]

[That, Asakura can understand.]

You don't look like you're strong enough to do that.

[andwesucceeded]

You believe looks are the best judge of strength?

[vexed_snake]

Not where weapons are concerned.

[Because he's done so much wonderful damage with what looks like a small plastic box...]

But you're small for a Mirror Monster.

[But Mirror Monsters don't talk, either, telepathically or otherwise.]

[andwesucceeded]

Mirror Monster? I am no such thing. Are they the creatures you employ?

[vexed_snake]

They are.

[He's not even going to bother to ask how Mewtwo knows he uses creatures to assist him in his dirty work. He figures word of him has gotten around.]

So what are you, then?

[andwesucceeded]

I am a Pokémon. A cloned Pokémon, created from the genetic remains of Mew. Created to be stronger than Mew.

[vexed_snake]

If that Mew's still alive, then I don't think the procedure was a success.

[andwesucceeded]

'Mew' was a mere fossil, from which DNA was extracted and modified. If Mew ever shows itself, I will prove which of us is superior.

[vexed_snake]

So you're just going to sit around and wait in the afterlife for some specific other dead thing to come through here so you can defeat it? Sounds vexing.

[andwesucceeded]

You seem to delight in deliberate misinterpretations. Humankind... a sad race.

[vexed_snake]

Tch. The only thing I delight in is fighting. Otherwise, I'm vexed.

[Pause.]

And at least I have thumbs.

[Truly opposeable thumbs are the apex of evolutionary perfection.]

[andwesucceeded]

At least you have something you can take misplaced pride in.

[Mewtwo smirks. He's getting just a bit more superior enjoyment out of baiting this human than he really ought to.]

[vexed_snake]

At least I can fight. You can't even make a fist.

[Yeah, he's definitely vexed. Baiting him has always been kind of an easy thing to do.

...also, touting one's ability to punch things is really not a good way to prove one's superiority, Asakura. Good job.]

[andwesucceeded]

Unnecessary. My psychic power far exceeds such crude physical displays.

[vexed_snake]

[Now Asakura is openly scoffing.]

Psychic power? Sounds like a load of bull.

[...this, despite the fact that Mewtwo is talking to him telepathically.]

[andwesucceeded]

For a Reaper in the Game, where Players rely on Pins, that seems a narrow-minded view indeed.

[vexed_snake]

I've been strong enough to erase them, Pins or no Pins.

[He really, really hates having to use Noise instead of his own monsters...or his own fists. And anything he doesn't like? He thinks it's automatically weak.]

[andwesucceeded]

If those Pins were truly weak, none of them would be left. They have a certain amount of strength.

[vexed_snake]

The ones that are left are just extra vexing...but I'll win in the end.

[andwesucceeded]

And then? You will simply have a new Game to endure, with new Players. A neverending cycle.
