#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 4 MISSION + MEMES

[venomosity]

[iiit's that time of the week again. dahlia's done some shopping, it seems! even when you're dead, you gotta change up your fashion game every now and again. this week, she looks... more disinterested than usual. huh.]

Heads up, everyone. This week's mission is special—only three of you are going to be able to do this one. You'll be going to Molco... and an informant will tell you what to do over there, because you couldn't pay me enough to tell you about the unfortunate thing planned for you this week. As usual, if you successfully complete it, the remaining Players will get a boon. Otherwise, they're on their own until the trial, and that's assuming any of them trusts anything we might tell them anymore.

[additionally, if your character has not yet submitted a meme for this week, feel free to let her know here!]

[deductionary]

[ very very deadpan: ] I wonder what could posssibly go wrong. Who's coming?

[ then, belatedly ] Nice outfit, Viper.

[speckling]

[ even in Erasure, someone's gotta babysit ranpo? ]

Sure, let's be optimistic about this mission!

[ i'm not jynxing it... ]

Dahlia-san does look very nice today.

[venomosity]

Oh, look who it is—the wonder duo.

[she brushes her hair over her shoulder.]

If you think compliments are going to make this easier for you, you're wrong.

[deductionary]

[ :/ ]

I've always found that compliments work wonders, especially when it comes to women who could probably stab me if they wanted.

[ referring to dahlia but also Someone Else ]

Not even a hint?

[speckling]

[ :'D

also he makes a passing look at ranpo with concern before turning to dahlia again. ]

It probably doesn't, but I might as well waste my kindness of the day somewhere before we run into danger.

[ expectant look for either some hint if they're lucky, or a scoff otherwise. ]

[venomosity]

...not really a question of how you ended up in the Games in the first place, huh.

[and then, she mimes pulling a zipper over her lips.]

All I'm going to say is go to Molco, and you'll find out there.

[romancekiller]

Alright I'm coming too— so I think we should get going then? [especially since it seems like dahlia isn't giving them any hints about either. she figures it is probably dangerous if the last mission was anything to go but the only way to find out from heading over there]

[deductionary]

[ :/ what is that supposed to mean :/

but anyway he doesn't look that disappointed about not getting a hint since he's probably smart enough to figure out what's going on when shit starts happening tbh. so he shrugs and turns to madara: ]

Mike-san! You know where Molco is?

[ did I mention he still has zero sense of direction ]

[speckling]

Yes, let's!

[ clarke gets a warm smile, ranpo gets a nod as he takes his arm so they can head to molco as a group. ]

[reapertoire]

[ When the plucky trio arrives at Molco... a familiar face is there to greet them! The pink dog that usually hangs out with Max at the beginning of each week is obediently waiting for the group to approach it. Bork bork, friends. ]

[romancekiller]

[ clarke notices the dog waiting for them when they approach which seems to be waiting for them] Isn't that... the dog that's usually with Max? It seems like he was waiting for us.

[deductionary]

[ IMMEDIATELY DROPS DOWN TO PET THE DOG TBH. ]

Yep! Takes on a whole new meaning of guide dog, ne?

[ scratches behind its ears, then, to the dog noise: ] Are you gonna bring us somewhere?

[speckling]

[ it's preoccupied with ranpo, so madara will hang back. ]

It is! I guess it can see us, that's pleasantly convenient. Whenever you're done playing with it Ranpo-san, it will probably lead the way.

[ ...did it ever have a name? nickname? ]

[reapertoire]

[ No one ever gave the pup a name!! It looks slightly exasperated as Ranpo pets it, whining and thumping its tail against the ground a couple of times. But it takes it like a champ.

Once he's done, it stands up and barks at the group, as if telling them to follow it. It doesn't even wait for them to respond; it just walks into the department store. ]

[romancekiller]

Yeah, I guess you're right about it leading the way for where need to go—

[the moment it barks and starts to move into the department store, clarke soon follows after the dog] Let's go.

[deductionary]

[ fine ranpo will stop petting the dog Noise once it makes its displeasure known. and he's absolutely going to follow after the dog Noise into the department store.

and also wave at passing shadow people like nothing is wrong tbh. ]

Maybe it's sniffed something out and we're supposedly to go pick it up.

[speckling]

We are going into a department store, after all, so who knows? Heh, what an energetic boy~ ♪

[ thankfully it's a nice, vibrant shade of magenta, so the noise won't be too easy to lose sight of. so, the motley trio follow along into the store, passing by shadow peeps.

thanks to last week he's on the lookout for weird conversations again... wait is the phrase "keeping his ears open" better for this situation? oh well. ]

[reapertoire]

[ All of a sudden, the dog darts ahead without warning! Easily squeezing through the crowd, it disappears into the crowd... you guys are pretty sure it went toward the maid cafe? Weird! ]

[romancekiller]

Ah— where did it... [clarke notices that it zooms off ahead rather quickly before they even know it but she tries to figure out where it went through the crowd] Let's check out the Maid Cafe— I think it went that way.

[deductionary]

[ hey okay that was unexpected, but thank goodness one of them has teleportation and so he's going to blip on ahead to catch up with the dog, turning back every so often to wave at both Clarke and Madara so they don't lose both him and the Noise. ]

This way! Haah, is there actually a Maid Cafe?

[speckling]

Coming! Hope you don't mind, Clarke-san~

[ he takes clarke by the arm and gets through the crowd at a picked-up to catch up with ranpo and dog inu. it's sure got an agenda here. ]

It wouldn't surprise me, but that's not really my thing unless the food's good. Maybe we can check it out later!

[ they can eat anything they want for free, after all. in the underunderground, capitalism is dead! ]

[reapertoire]

[ Even with Ranpo's teleportation, the dog manages to escape even his watchful eye for a bit!

Once they're in front of the maid cafe, the dog will be waiting patiently just like it had in front of Molco. In its mouth are hangers holding three maid outfits, while the following chalkboard sign is hanging from its neck: ]

Your mission is to serve the patrons of this cafe for two hours. You will be visible to the customers as soon as you put on the outfits. Fail, and face erasure lose your chance at granting the remaining Players their boon.

[ If the dog is questioned further about the mission, it will turn its head and just insist that they put on the outfits. ]

[romancekiller]

[clarke doesn't really mind or object when madara drags her along through the crowd. she knows the maid cafe exists mostly from exploring their new surroundings yesterday but she honestly it's one of the many things that she finds very weird with the stores here and has no clue what the fuss is all about.

it is very ironic that she is about to find that because of this mission. they stop in front of the maid cafe where the dog has come to a stop and she can't help but stare suspiciously both at the maid outfits it is holding and at the sign around its neck that dictates what they are supposed to do]

Well I guess this is what we're supposed to do? [if it sounds and looks like she is a bit baffled by this, that's because she is! seriously what the hell is this even]

[deductionary]

[ WHERE DID THE CHALKBOARD SIGN EVEN COME FROM. or at least, that's going to be ranpo's Main Concern????

but yeah anyway he's going to. look back and forth between the dog Noise and the maid outfits and just.

laughs.

it's kind of funny, but then again ranpo's got a kind of strange sense of humour. ]

Dressing up for two hours can't be that bad, Isha-kun. [ he's absolutely also going to poke at the outfits hanging from the rack just in case. ] At least we're not fighting stuff like last week.

[ ESPECIALLY WHEN ALL THREE OF THEM HAVE SUPPORT PSYCHS ]
