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...]

[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.]

[andwesucceeded]

Witness a mere fraction of my power, human.

[He summons a barrier of shimmering energy in front of Asakura.]

[vexed_snake]

[WHAM. Asakura was just about to charge again at Mewtwo when the barrier went up, and he plows right into it.

Whatever he's just said comes out as kind of more of an angry animal snarl. He mad.]
