#GRAVEYARD

Well, that sucked! That might be your first thought when you open your eyes to find yourself in a lavishly decorated room with a nice, soft bed. Or maybe you’re thinking about something else, it doesn’t really matter, since the only important thing right now is that you’re alive. Sort of. You’re still dead, but you also still exist, so that’s better than nothing. Whenever you decide to leave the room to venture out into the rest of the building, you’ll find that… hm. You sure have found yourself somewhere interesting, and there are plenty of places to explore. Foods from all of the weeks prior can be found in the hotel’s kitchen, as well as an entertainment center in the next room; just because you’re dead-dead doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun while the Reaper’s Game continues. Dare you try your luck with the ice cream machine in this weird place…? Or do you explore the mysterious board game that rests on the lobby’s table? Nothing’s stopping you. You’re absolutely able to leave the hotel, by the way. As soon as you step outside, you’ll find yourself in whatever area is currently open to the remaining Players for the current week. The only thing is, in addition to being invisible to the shadowy denizens of the RG... it seems you can’t interact at all with your fellow active Players in the UG, either. Weird! But that’s okay, you’re not totally alone in this limbo-squared! There are others around who you can interact with, and you might recognize them as the other people who have been Erased during the course of the game. In fact, there’s one rather special resident of this place... it’s none other than Dahlia Hawthorne. You might remember her as Utena Tenjou’s murderer from the first week! Upon seeing you, she smirks, welcoming you to the party. “Did you really think you'd seen the last of me? Welcome to the Under-Underground—the loser’s playground, a failure like the rest of us,” she taunts, swirling the teacup in her hand with an almost gleeful look in her eyes. Then, as if to preempt whatever the new arrivals wish to respond with, she rolls her eyes and adds, “The stupid name wasn’t my choice, by the way. As if I’d choose something that dumb to preside over.” game info ☠ setting ☠ statuses ☠ ic profiles private conversations ☠ murder proposals ☠ money full nav

WEEK 5 MISSION

[venomosity]

[ meeting time! as usual, dahlia is sitting by the bar, legs crossed and sipping a bloody mary. once everyone is gathered, she starts reading off a notecard, vocally embellishing like a professional actress even though she looks like she's wishing she could be doing anything but. ]

Now that there are a considerable amount of you here, the missions are going to start reflecting that. Your teamwork and cooperation are going to be essential, maybe even more so than they were while you were still active Players in the Game. For this week, your task is to head to the public gym, and... [ pause ] pick up the trash that suddenly appeared overnight?

[ ...she squints at the card. ]

Wow, they really are running out of ideas. [ she stares pointedly at it for a second more, then shrugs and tosses it over her shoulder. ] This isn't so much a mission as it is a chore, but... go off, I guess.

[voyeur]

[Raises hand.]

I can't do it, I'm blind.

[venomosity]

Shut up.

[chr]

I have one eye and I'm short.

[voyeur]

No, I think I'll keep talking. Tell me more about your role, Miss Hawthorne. I'd say you're operating somewhere between a GM and an Officer, but it isn't like ranks have any meaning in this game.

On that note, where's Ms Tenjou? You'd think someone so close to Miss Himemiya's heart would be around, but maybe she has better things to do. Whose idea was it to put you on babysitting duty, by the way?

[grano]

[ leaning into his palm, like a highschool delinquent— ]

Hey, who here wants to touch the trash on the rest of our behaves?

[venomosity]

That doesn't count as participating.

[grano]

[ he sighs. ]

You mean to say this isn't negotiable? I'll eat your chicken nuggets this time.

[darkearth]

I'll do it.

[pure]

[grano]

Yes! Who's a good Reaper? You are!

[darkearth]

Are you afraid of getting your hands dirty?

[venomosity]

Thank you.

[ and for once, she actually does sound genuine about that??? what world are we living in ]

[darkearth]

I helped someone else before. We cleaned the Park.

[SO THANK YOU SEI. YOU MADE HIM A BETTER PERSON. UNLIKE THE REST OF THESE PIECES OF GARBAGE.]

[doublesmall]

... I'd ask if this is some kind of joke, but after that "mission" with the dress back then, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

[things that sound like bs to chuuya: literally everything about this.]

It's not always like this, right?

[venomosity]

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not the one who comes up with the missions—I'm just the messenger.

[ points to the card on the floor ]

Trust me—I know, even that's hard to do—but this is... tame, compared to the things we've been given before.

[doublesmall]

Yeah, I got that part. ["they're" running out of ideas, instead of "I"-- he can pay attention he promises!!] I never said I'm blaming you for it? I'm just asking if this is what I can expect out of being stuck here.

-which sounds like a yes, but if this is tame then I'll take it.

[he'll behave and go do the thing, at least! and count himself lucky they're not finding out what wouldn't be something tame just yet.]

but also here's an actual tag for the thing

[doublesmall]

[all complaints aside, at least doing the mission is better than sitting around doing nothing, so, you know. chuuya will be out here in the gym, grumbling under his breath about it the entire time.

he's also still dressed somewhat fancily which is probably not ideal for dealing with trash, but it's not like he's going to bother finding a new outfit just for this. excuse him while he checks around the weights.]

The hell does trash even come from here, anyway? Isn't it just us down here...

[darkearth]

I don't know. Maybe from where the Players are. [Here's Terra. He's gonna help without any fussing or grumbling. He's a good boy.

He won model citizen awards.] But we shouldn't leave it lying around. I helped Seizaburo clean the Park when we got here.

This can't be much different.

[doublesmall]

Oh, the one with the shitty hairdo, right? I'm not surprised he's the boy scout type.

[they can just take what they want from places now, right? you know those sharp sticks people use to spear trash and pick it up? chuuya is using a literal spear for that because he isn't going to touch this with his bare hands.]

You'd think they could give us something better to do than this, though...

[grano]

[ jacopo is standing here, in a dress shirt and vest, because fuck his life. he's got some rubber gloves on that he nabbed before coming over here. ]

Tch! I hadn't even known this dump had a gym.

[exorcismo]

[ dressed in some kinda boho chic, she's also got gloves on too— she's not much happier about this than he is. The days of being a good samaritan are long gone. ]

They murder us and then they expect us to pick up garbage..? This is hardly what I imagined purgatory to be like.

[chr]

Soooo, I'm guessing we're cleaning this up for the living? But I wanna exercise too. Weight lifting sounds interesting.

[ monika is here in normal fucking clothing because she is not risking one of her new dresses. shes an athletic little brat unfortunately ]

who wants to be our third partner and be uncomfortable for LIFE

[sexorcism]

Are you shirking your duties already, Monika? What a shame. If you'd only waited until your work was completed, I would have offered to spot for you.

[Her nice new clothes are also back at the hotel, but she's rolled her sleeves up as if she really intends on working this time instead of overseeing it. Those days of asking men to clean for her in the park are over now, anyway.]

PROPER TOP LEVEL

[voyeur]

[Once he's done harassing Dahlia, he actually does show up to help. But he does it with his knives, stabbing garbage and throwing it into the bag instead of actually touching it. Because ew.]

i was waiting to see if someone else wanted to jump in but this is fine!

[reapertoire]

[ At this point, most of the places in the gym have been accounted for, leaving the pool in need of cleaning! Izaya is free to try stabbing at refuse in the water... or, like, grab a pool skimmer like a normal person. It's his choice. ]
