week 3, sunday

[reapertoire]

[ After a very successful week of break, Mutsu will suddenly find himself in an alley behind the McDonald's--



wait isn't it in a mall. what. what the fuck. don't bring a sword to an alley fight.

Max is waiting for him here, carrying a small case with eight pins in it.

Hopefully this isn't a drug deal. ]

Mutsu. Because of your performance this week [a beat] ... in the egg hunt specifically because nothing else happened this week, the Composer decided to reward you by letting you pick out a bonus. There's eight pins to choose from, and all of them do something different. Once you pick, I'll tell you what the pin does. None of them are bad. You can ask your Partner for help picking, in which case I'll bring them here, but before that, I've got a whole fucking spiel to get on with, so.

[That said, he starts to gesture at each pin as he names them! The first has a simple design on it with two beams crossing each other to form an X.]

You've got Muramasa. Then there's Olly Olly Oxen Free Barrier. [this one has a cartoon design of a cute little Ox! Aww.] Moving on to Demon's Look. [This pin has a dark background broken by three yellow scratch marks, exposing something red underneath.] Over here is Delightful Beam. [the pin is a pale yellow with cute, pink hearts forming a beam] This one's Lolita Gifts [that pin depicts a gift box with definite gothic tones in the wrapping] and that one's One Chance, One Hope. [it's... a bunch of multicolored swirls with a bright question mark in the middle. okay.] Here's Kleptomania Rulez [six multicolored stars with dark jail bars in front of them] and finally we've got King's Treat. [It has a frozen crown on it!]

No, I didn't choose the names.

( If only he had a gun. But okay, once he sees Max he figures he's probably not going to die? Unless Max is like some sort of death omen which Mutsu wouldn't be surprised of. )

What sort of back alley deal is this... ( But he'll lean over to see what's in the box. The only name that sounds familiar to him is Muramasa but the context doesn't make sense to him. ) And ya won't tell me what they do 'til I pick?

... Can I change my mind?

[concertmaster]

The sort that's supposed to help Players, I guess.

[s h r u g s]

I'm only telling you what one does, so no.

[tosa]

Alright, alright. And what's the catch? I can only use it one time or something?

( He's trying to decide, okay. )

[concertmaster]

Pretty much, yeah.

[tosa]

( Give him a moment to think about which one he wants to pick. All he has is the names and the designs to work with...and he'll point to one, )

This one.

( One chance, one hope. )

[concertmaster]

Alright.

[and max takes it out]

One Chance, One Hope. With this, you can get a free hint from me during this week's trial. All you have to do is ask for it.

[tosa]

Ya ha! Not bad, not bad!

( He's just going to ruffle your hair Max, )

Thanks a lot, Max-kun.

[concertmaster]

[HE IS GOING TO KILL HIM

flailing]

All of you stop that.

[tosa]

( One last, good hair floof. )

Then we'll shake hands next time. ( Which is cool. Shaking hands is pretty ~enlightening~. ) Happy Easter to ya.
