#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.”

I did. Earlier. [ I LINKED THE THREAD TEEJ???? ]

It's not my fault you don't want to listen.

[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

Alright, let me be clearer-

If you actually gave a shit about helping, you could've done more than ask. Give us some kind of opinion or something.

...on the other hand, it's kind of a relief to know not all of you are set on this 'we should help each other and work together' thing, that was obnoxious coming from the two that killed me.

[which he hates admitting to, but here the heck we are.]

[ shrugs, tbh. ]

At this point, based on what I know about the game and all the information I've collected? You are all pretty much lost causes and I'm only helping when there's something in it for me, Fancy Hat-kun. Not everyone wanted to be here in the first place.

I'm only offering token help because it's expected of me as a Reaper. I've got orders. [ no further explanation? no. ] I'm supposed to help the game, but that doesn't mean I'm supposed to make it easy if that's what the Conductor wants.

[ snorts. ]

I'd be a lot more helpful if you all weren't prejudiced against us from the very beginning. Don't think I don't know that you all wanted our blood even without listening to our side of the story. You don't want our help anyway. Why bother?

And I happen to think they did an excellent job killing you.

They weren't bad at that part once they actually did it, no. I thought for a minute there that she'd be too weak to actually kill me, but she did surprise me in the end.

And you know, you drew the first blood when you all started picking people off, orders or not. It was only fair for us to want yours. Hazard of the job, right?

[ you know how he always has konpeito on him conveniently? he's gonna throw it at chuuya now bc what the heck. ]

You say as if we all wanted blood - I've Erased people in this game before so it was easier for me to do it so that the others didn't have to.

Also, isn't this something the Mafia does? What was it - "Erase someone or we'll Erase you instead?" Sounds like a pretty compelling argument to me.

[rude!! chuuya makes a face and grabs for some of it-- the rest definitely hits him, but he's pinging a piece or two right back at ranpo.]

You're Reapers. The 'reaping' part should be implied. If it's not supposed to be part of the job, then you people need rebranding.

[ ROLLS HIS EYES. he's borrowed a proficiency stat from Akira so he's going to attempt to dodge it. ]

Reaping just means we help to decide whether you get a second chance at life and the ones who don't, go on to death. Not every type of Reaping involves death, you know.

It's still a stupid name, then.

[he huffs out a breath, shaking his head.]

Look, whether you all wanted to do it or not, one of the first damn things in the rules was that we needed to find and erase the Reapers-- and erasing us just gave us more reason to want to do it. Not that some of us needed a push for that.
