#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, despite the fact that no one asked for anything last week, there are two things. One is spaghetti and the other is hotpot. Take your pick.

"Good morning, everyone. Shall we get started?"

[ anthy is at the table instead of the kotatsu this time. she's not smiling this time either. ]

... I'm sure there is a lot you all want to discuss today.

[There certainly is - and honestly? He doesn't feel like eating.]

...I'm pretty sure you know what we've been doing. And what we've talked about. Right?

[She is, after all, the Composer.]

I have heard a few things, yes.

[ she takes a sip of her tea. ]
bladeisme: (☾ 6.)

[personal profile] bladeisme 2018-04-09 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Alright. Fine.

He'll just ask straight out, then.]


...Is it possible for us to change sides, in order to give the players more time to fulfill your conditions?
rosemance: (Default)

[personal profile] rosemance 2018-04-09 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

If that's what you want. I must add that me allowing it is not the same as me confirming that it is the right thing to do though.
bladeisme: (☾ 69.)

[personal profile] bladeisme 2018-04-09 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's....hm.

Still-]


...Alright. I just wanted to know. I wouldn't change sides anyway - there's no point in me doing that.

[He does. Give her a bit of a look though, because....well. He still doesn't think it was an accident he and Akira were paired up, and one thing he's had pounded into him?

Trust no Composer.]

[personal profile] rosemance 2018-04-10 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
You were considering it though, weren't you?

[ she doesn't sound judgmental about it at least. ]

[Mary is putting spaghetti into her hotpot because she's a troubled child. Her expression is downcast despite her hijinks.]

Is there any way you can give us advice on how to help the Players do what you're looking for from them?

[She figures a straight answer is out of the question but any clues are helpful.]

Is Nanami(?) busy today?
rosemance: (pic#12104166)

[personal profile] rosemance 2018-04-09 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You may play with her as much as you want.

[ nanami(?) gives anthy a Look, but if it's mary then it's okay. ]

I will say that despite the... unfortunate losses [ she glances at the seats where izaya and jacopo normally occupy ] that last week was a step in the right direction overall.

[personal profile] withsadness 2018-04-09 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[That cheers her, in both cases, at least a little bit! She's not sure she feels like playing in a run-around cheerful kind of way, but she's gonna give Nanami(?) lots of pets.]

Oh! Good! Everybody did something right!

[But in what way she's, uh, not really sure.]

Are there still a lot of steps left to go?
rosemance: (Default)

[personal profile] rosemance 2018-04-09 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say that there is.

[ she pauses, thinking. ]

Mary, what do you think was different about this recent trial?
withsadness: <user name="ebii-tan" site="livejournal.com"> (082)

[personal profile] withsadness 2018-04-09 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ummm...

[It takes her a minute. There was a lot that went on there.]

A lot of people came out and shared all the secrets they'd been keeping from each other?
rosemance: (pic#12104124)

[personal profile] rosemance 2018-04-09 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes, when people open their hearts to each other, things start to move. It's not always a good thing, but you need movement to grow.

[ she tapes a sip of her tea. ]

[personal profile] withsadness 2018-04-09 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's better to trust openly and face the consequences than not to trust at all?

[She guesses that makes sense...]

If Jacopo hadn't acted the way that he did, do you think he'd still be alive?
rosemance: (pic#12104119)

[personal profile] rosemance 2018-04-09 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she shakes her head. ]

What lead to his erasure was a series of coincidences. I would not blame his actions for them. [ ... ] I do think his death is what caused others to share, like Magnus. I don't think he would have said anything if he hadn't gotten that push.
withsadness: (103)

[personal profile] withsadness 2018-04-09 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
So his sacrifice ended up being necessary.

[Mary isn't sure that it makes her feel any better...but in the end, he's helping them even now, with his Erasure, isn't he? Jacopo is such an incredible person.]

But if people keep dying every week, how can we be sure they'll keep being honest? Isn't it scary to think you're telling the wrong things to the wrong people?
rosemance: (pic#12104075)

[personal profile] rosemance 2018-04-09 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That's always been the risk in this Game. It's a risk in life as well. Not every decision you make will be the right one, but one still has to be made, Mary.
withsadness: (046)

[personal profile] withsadness 2018-04-09 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I know...

[But does she want to accept it? That's another question entirely.]

Decisions help things end...but I don't like endings. Why can't everything just go on and on forever?
rosemance: (pic#11755388)

[personal profile] rosemance 2018-04-10 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Because if everything went on forever, that also includes the bad things, Mary.
withsadness: (047)

[personal profile] withsadness 2018-04-10 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so...

[Though she wonders if maybe it's better to be unhappy than to be alone or gone forever. Disappearing sounds just as bad as being lonely. But here, in the Reaper Game...there's an eternity of friendships just waiting for Mary. Although, ah, as Anthy said...all of those have ended, too. Nothing and nobody ever really stay forever. It makes her feel sad to think about.]

Maybe it's something I'm just not so good at understanding.
rosemance: (pic#12104124)

[personal profile] rosemance 2018-04-11 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that, like all lessons, take time to understand.

[ she looks down at nanami(?). ]

So don't worry if you don't get it know, or if it takes a long time to.

If this is all - to prove that people deserve their second chances... And our job is to help prove that...

I get that it's up to the Players, but isn't there anything you can tell us to... You know? Help me help them?
rosemance: (pic#12104086)

[personal profile] rosemance 2018-04-11 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I will say that I think everyone is on the right track at the moment. Communication is the key, Alex.

That... Helps. Okay.

It's just hard to know if we're on the right track or just fucking up, you know?
rosemance: (pic#11755393)

[personal profile] rosemance 2018-04-11 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I do honestly believe you are all doing well.
