#REAPER MEETING

When it hits 07:00, the Reapers are probably expecting to be teleported into a shady corner to meet up with the Host again. It does not go quite like that though. Between one blink and the next, they will suddenly find themselves teleported from wherever they just were and to what seems to be a greenhouse. Strangely enough, if they peek through its various windows, none of the outside landscape looks familiar. What seems to be sunlight can sort of be made out in the distance, but there is a peculiar haze that makes figuring out how far away they are from it difficult. Despite this fog, the actual interior of the greenhouse is fairly brightly sunlit. They'll also notice a song playing from invisible speakers. At the table, there is... no food, because no one asked for any last week. "Good morning, everyone. Shall we get started?" game info ☠ setting ☠ statuses ☠ ic profiles private conversations ☠ murder proposals ☠ money full nav

[ anthy is, again, seated at the kotatsu. nanami(?) is currently underneath it, so be careful not to stick your feet in the dog noise's face or else your toes might get bitten. :/

anthy doesn't seem to have an announcement this time, so just approach her if you have anything to say. ]

[grano]

Is the note true? Not that it'll sway my loyalties, but I am curious.

[rosemance]

As I have not spoken directly to the ones who wrote this, I can't personally confirm the sincerity of the note. However, it would probably be beneficial if you spoke to them to find out what exactly they've been told.

[withsadness]

[Mary plops down next to Anthy with a big ol' sparkle in her eyes. She's halfway distracted knowing there's a DOG(?)!!! under the kotatsu but this is important.]

Since the others left to interrogate Akira, can we make cookies? You, me, and Jacopo!

[grano]

Eh?

[ he raises a brow. ]

Not a bad idea, Mary. I'm in favor.

[rosemance]

What kind of cookies would you like to make, Mary?

[ that’s a yes. ]

CHECK

[reapertoire]

[ Please reply with two Players you want to check in the subject header. It must be an unanimous agreement. ]

AKIRA KURUSU AND YANG XIAO LONG

[voyeur]

[everyone agreed to this beforehand oocly in chat and icly in prior meetings!]

RESULTS

[rosemance]

[ anthy pulls out her handy dandy pin!! there is, like always, a moment of silence before she pockets it again. ]

Yang Xiao Long is a Player. Akira Kurusu is a Reaper. Congratulations once again.

[reapertoire]

[ Where the food would normally be, instead there is a letter. It reads: ]

We know you exist. There's something wrong with this game. We're trying to figure it out. We don't wish to Erase you or the Players. If you find us, come talk to us.

[ It's unsigned. ]

[voyeur]

[Izaya flips the note over.]

So are we not getting group meal this week, or what?

[grano]

Are you kidding me? So no food?

[rosemance]

No one asked for anything last week so I couldn't bring the ingredients to prepare something specific beforehand.

[bladeisme]

[Ah, that's....

He looks over the letter quietly, having a pretty good idea about who it's from. Unlike the rest of his companions, Ichigo isn't worried about the food.]

....I'm going.

[voyeur]

Regarding the note, I will raise simply this fact: there is but one opponent Reaper left for us to find. For that reason, if no other, it would be pure stupidity for all of us to meet with those Reapers who, perhaps, could kill us and be counted as 'winning a game.' In other words, we're in a position of a potential victory. This note, which may be a falsehood, offers them assistance, not us.

However, if anyone wants to take that risk, I'll be more than happy to come along invisibly as support. And of course, because I love to get my information firsthand.

[grano]

I'm far from a diplomat — that appears to be my partner, apparently, so I'll remain here. The lot of you...be careful.

[voyeur]

Don't worry. I don't intend on revealing my identity to these people for as long as possible. I'll even pass up the chance to watch this happens if it's needed.

[bladeisme]

I'm already going.

[That's firm, even with Ichigo looking tired and sad.]

If you want to tag along, I...won't stop you.

[voyeur]

If you'd prefer, we can always leave a phone in your pocket to record their words.

[allsetfree]

I... could go with, too, if that seems better? I don't mind, and I feel like sending only one person - that they can see - just makes it look like an easy target.

[voyeur]

If that target is one of their own partner, I'd say it's the safest possible gesture. Of course, I won't stop you. However, I'm wary of exposing any of ours to them whose identities they don't know.

[bladeisme]

[Ichigo actually looks surprised - and a little touched, his eyes gaining a little light despite the eyebags under them.]

....Thank you.

REACTIONS TO THE REVEAL

[bladeisme]

[The other reapers might have expected yelling, or absolute despair when Akira's revealed to be a Reaper. But, instead, all Ichigo does is lower his head, shutting his eyes tightly as he runs a hand through his hair.]

...So I was right.

[He definitely....doesn't sound happy about that fact. At all.

But there's nothing he can do, can he?]

[withsadness]

I thought you were convinced it wasn't true? Did something happen that made you more suspicious?

[But she'll just scoot on up and give him a hug. It'll...probably be okay?]

[bladeisme]

[He needs the hugs right now, honestly - he wraps his arms around her, a little more tightly than he needs to.]

...He came to me thursday and asked if I was part of the group hunting down Reapers. I managed to lie, but....he'd only know that if he was part of the other Reapers, and knew there were 2 reapers left.
