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...]

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.

[vexed_snake]

As long as I get to keep fighting, I don't care if it never ends. If I can't fight, then I just get vexed.

[andwesucceeded]

I expect you will be opposed to its end, then. Luckily for you, you will be dispatched along with the others.

[vexed_snake]

Dispatched? Me? I'm not going anywhere.

[He only died because he was vexed enough to want to at that point...]

[andwesucceeded]

This world will be swept clear of everyone. Humans most particularly, but nothing shall stand except what I allow to. You will simply be one of the first.

[vexed_snake]

Not if I wipe you out first.

[He's scanning the area for a makeshift weapon. He'd gotten in trouble for fighting RG-ers, not other Reapers...]

[andwesucceeded]

Is that a challenge?

[Such is Mewtwo's confidence that a pipe wrenches itself from the side of a building, dropping down to clatter near Asakura.]

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura grins at the pipe. It's a perfect weapon; he's always enjoyed beating people with such things.]

Sure it is.

[He has no idea what he's gotten himself into, and he's radiating overconfidence.]

[andwesucceeded]

[Motionless, Mewtwo awaits his approach, psychic powers at the ready. Bring it on.]

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura's first action is likely highly predictable. There's nothing fancy here; he's simply charging at Mewtwo with the intention to club the Pokemon as soon as he's within range.]

[andwesucceeded]

[The Pokemon's eyes glow blue as he summons his telekinetic powers. No Shadow Balls or massive attacks -- just force, to hurl Asakura backwards.]

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura wasn't expecting that. Not at all. He gets hurled backwards to stumble into a trash can. It's both painful and embarrassing.]

What the--?!

[Oh, now he's really vexed. He's trying to get back to his feet to let Mewtwo have it.]
