#REAPER MEET UP

As with last week, the Reapers will wake suddenly, with their IC rulebook in their hand and open to a page in the back -- which contains a note that's only visible to them. "Reapers! Today's meeting will be at Shibu-Q Heads at 7 AM sharp! There's coffee and snacks for everyone, so don't be late!"

When they arrive at the chain, at 07:00, they'll find themselves walking into a private area of the party supply store, with a door that closes and locks behind them once everyone is inside. It's roomy and filled with comfortable furniture, as well as various balloons and party decorations. There's an assortment of comfort foods along with with coffee and actual McFlurries this time. For once, Maya is not eating, she has a puppy on her lap and is looking a little more serious than usual. As always, music is on loop forever.

"We should probably have another moment of silence for Ranpo and Junko. And--- after that, I've got some news about this week."

[gestures at Akechi, gestures at Junko]

. . . I don't know.

[he's been struggling with that]

This Game asks people to compromise who they are for that second chance. To make them commit atrocities they'd never dream of doing. We may all be dead, but the pain we feel is still very real.

Isn't it like saying, "we're going to torture you now, but we'll give you a prize afterwards, so it's okay?"

.... Yeah, I know. [ she looks sad. ] It's really messed up.

[ and cruel to everyone who plays it, reapers and players. ]

But what if could only be one or the other? A Game like this, or..... no second chance?

. . .

I would take the second chance.

[of course he would. because any amount of torture would be worth returning to his friends. when he thinks about it that way? his perspective shifts a little]

I think most people playing would --- that's why they're still playing, yanno?

[ as fucked up as it is. ]

But imagine if these were the only two options. What do you think would be crueler?

[h. . . huh]

I think every person would respond to that differently.

[. . .]

And I don't know how I'd answer it yet.

Yeah. It's not an easy answer, that's for sure.

Is this related to what the Composer is trying to prove?

Well, I can't give you an answer. [ the npc life. ] Buuuut, if it were me in that position, I'd have a hard time. 'Cause I'm in the same boat as you -- I dunno what's worse.
