WEEK 4, MEETING

[reapertoire]

#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 Maid Cafe at 7 AM sharp! There's coffee and snacks for everyone, so don't be late!" When they arrive at the cafe, at 07:00, they'll find themselves walking into a private area of the maid cafe, 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 anime decorations and maid outfits if the Reapers want to try them on. There's an assortment of comfort foods along with with coffee and a small kitchen this time if anyone wants to cook something. Some anime is playing in the background. Maya's eating and spoiling Tenko with occasional bacon. As always, music is on loop forever. "Okay guys, break time is over, sadly. Back to business." game info ☠ setting ☠ statuses ☠ ic profiles private conversations ☠ murder proposals ☠ money full nav

. . . Chuuya Nakahara.

[he says the name evenly]

For the deaths of Ranpo Edogawa and Madara Mikejima.

[alchemicalwater]

Are you sure it was him though?

[Even as she says it, she knows it's true. He has the motive, and his partner was linked to the crime scene.]

...he would have gotten a reward for it, wouldn't he have? Because he didn't die, and he didn't get voted at the trial.

[purrtagonist]

Yeah. I'm positive.

[the physical evidence, coupled with what Ranpo told him, was enough to convince Akira]

In future weeks, we need to keep the Player population in mind. We can't kill so many as to trigger our win condition.

[alchemicalwater]

It we can talk with the detectives and work something out, maybe we won't have to kill at all. That would be the best result, I think.

[purrtagonist]

[heh]

If we could figure out how to pull that off? It'd be pretty great.

[alchemicalwater]

It would.

[Now she's thinking though.]

...Akira, were we ever told that we COULDN'T choose not to kill?

[purrtagonist]

Our rulebook implies that we have to, or we face Erasure ourselves.

. . . are you thinking about abstaining for a week?

[alchemicalwater]

Not if we'll be erased for it, but....mmm. I was wondering if it was one of those puzzle-deals. Like, where the real answer was to not murder at all.

[purrtagonist]

[a wry laugh, huffed and short]

I thought about that, honestly.

But the other Reapers were so eager to do the dirty work in our stead.

[Ranpo, Junko, Terra. all willing to dirty their hands for their side of the game]

[alchemicalwater]

We should probably ask, I think. Before we jump in and start killing people.

[purrtagonist]

. . . little late for that.

[his smile is strained and exhausted]

But. . . I'm okay with that. Please ask, Undine.
