[wonderful_mods]

Wall Rewards: Voucher for a free mystery burger at Wild-Duck.
Reaped Rewards: Lolita Mic
Mission Rewards: 5000 yen

[This mission might seem confusing at first, although if you scan the crowds, in their minds certain keywords will crop up relating to having or testing one's courage. "Burger", "Karaoke", and "Horror House" are among them, the latter of which is apparently a game at the arcade. There also seems to be a war movie playing at the theater, or perhaps you have your own ideas about courage? Either way, there's a lot of options, but it seems that just doing one of them by yourself isn't enough. Somehow, it has to be shared by as many people as possible...]

[...Neku can only assume there's some way in which all this makes sense, but he's not sure why they're giving out vouchers as rewards. Oh well. Any Players who'll want to use said voucher will need to get past him.]

[suicidoll]

(Here you go, Neku; have a player making her way over.

...Sort of. There's a bit of fumbling over things before she actually makes it to the wall, but here she is. She taps it to be sure, but is confirmed once she gets shocked by it.)

...That's never a pleasant feeling.

[needsmorezippers]

[Neku winces as she soon as she does that.]

Yea, I know.

[suicidoll]

Its best use may be for a quick jolt of energy, perhaps...

(She shakes her head.)

You're assigned to this wall, correct?

(The answer should be obvious, but as seen earlier, she can't exactly see. At all.)

[needsmorezippers]

Yea. Uh... [shit he doesn't want to make this super hard for her.] Up for fighting a few Noise? [...he can always try to think of something else.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Yet another day closer to what's coming... Ryoji's getting really nervous now. Is there anything he can do to fix things? Or is dying the only option here?

He fidgets with the cell phone (his own, now) in his hands, keying though contacts. Maybe tonight, after everyone is done with the mission, he'll text a few people he trusts.]

[recklessice]

[KAITO is wondering off by his own. Of course he has a mission but he can't stand to see the face of a friend he just made. KAITO sneaks behind him and pokes from the back. He pretends to be happy.]

What's up! What's with the long face?

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah... Kaito-san. I-It's nothing.

[He flashes a brief smile before returning back to his phone. It'd just be best if he kept Kaito out of it. He's just an acquaintance, and Ryoji can't ask him to do anything as extreme as killing him.]

[recklessice]

[KAITO leans himself against the wall.]

Are you waiting someone?

[notsogrimreaper]

No, not really... just looking for people that I know, I guess.

[cruel_kindness]

[Where were The Flutters yesterday? Answer: Exploring the town more thoroughly. Don't worry, they'll make up for it today. They're fluttering out and about, looking for players. She eventually finds one.]

Hey, you!

[recklessice]

[Alright. First mission ever, secure the area; check, puts up the wall; check. Prepare the pins; check. But he only has one pin and he's easily take down.

Yep, he's doomed. He hides himself somewhere in the empty box, trash bin, barrel, you name it. While he's in there, he flips open his cell phone and begins to text someone.]

[vexed_snake]

[Have another Reaper peeking into that box you're hiding in.]

You've got to be kidding me.

[recklessice]

Woah!!

[KAITO jumps and drops his cell phone.]

What are you doing here?! This is my perfect hiding spot!

[Although it is way too obvious.]

[vexed_snake]

You're joking, right?

[Asakura just looks disgusted as he gives the box a harsh kick.]

Only a fool would hide in a box like that.

[roadroller]

[and Rin's mission on top of the actual mission: avoid noise without getting erased or being trapped in a hotel all day.

She misses Velocity Attack already. At least most regular noise seem simple enough to outrun.

Of course, she was able to scan some intel off the general RGers, so she figured if she could make it to the mall she could find something to do and she'd be safe there. But it was so far. She decided to take the monorail!

... And then there were noise on the monorail and she had to flee to the roof of the monorail in true chase scene fashion. When it pulls up near the mall, there's a girl enjoying the wind in her hair.]

Yes! Almost there! ♪

[andwesucceeded]

[Hmph. Foolish, making herself so obvious a target. Mewtwo descends from the sky to hover above the monorail, body motionless save for his eyes, which track her.]

[roadroller]

[Unfortunately, it's hard to think of yourself as obvious when you're totally invisible.

But Mewtwo is definitely obvious what with the flying and being a big purple kangaroo with reaper wings. Their eyes meet, but she won't waste time hailing him as she hurriedly gets off.]

[andwesucceeded]

[Without a word (of any sort), he summons a pair of Jungle Boomers, then settles into the air to watch.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[Sasuke is off having a soda at Wild-Duck, having already imprinted a few RGers with various words. No need to spend too much time outside of a decal area and risk running into more duet Noise.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji spots Sasuke and can't help but feel relieved, at least for a moment. At least it seems like most of the people he knows are still around somewhere, and they're safe for now. But that of course just reminds him that it won't be that way for long unless he works fast.

Still, he can build up to it. He has options. He knows some people who will consider what he's asking for. For just a while, he can make small talk, like normal.]

Sasuke-san! I haven't seen you in a while.

[shinbunshinobi]

[He looks up from his soda to see someone he hadn't seen all week, even since they arrived here.]

Hey! Where've you been, Mr. Reaper? Slacking on the job or trying to pick up more dates?

[Sasuke guesses the lack of wings is because they are in a decal area, and he doesn't want to freak the RGers out.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah... none of that this time. I'm not really a Reaper anymore. I'm not sure how it happened, but I'm... alive again.

[No, he doesn't sound happy about this, even if he is still smiling. Ryoji's mastered the fake smile now.]

[vexed_snake]

[Courage is definitely a thing one needs in dealing with Asakura, and he'll be making things as difficult as possible for the Players today.

Oddly enough, he's got a wall set up. Even though he likes swooping down on Players out of nowhere and wall duty usually vexes him, he's going to experiment a little more with laying out a little bit of Player bait with that wall. Besides, giving out seemingly useless burger vouchers to the winners amuses him.

...but don't be surprised if he's gotten bored and wandered away to look for prey. You just might come across a seemingly unmanned wall.]

[tamedhollow]

[Courage? What could that even mean... Sometimes Ichigo was really happy he wasn't a Player. He'd never be able to figure out some of these mission clues...

Today, he (and his little charge) have to rack up some points. So, harrying it is. Today, Players without Partners aren't getting away...]

Day four and some people are still alone. Whatever...
