#REAPER MEET UP

At 7am on Monday, all of you have been abruptly woken up by being transported to a dark alley. Wait. Are there even dark alleys here? Where are you. What is with the music? Before you can question it too much, out of the darkness steps... The Host. All four feet and pissed off attitude of him. He's got his hands in his hoodie pocket as he nonchalantly addresses you: "Reapers. Like you know, you've been volunteered by your respective Composers to participate in this Game. Say hi. We'll be in contact at this time every week to give you your orders. Special orders have already been given for the week, so... fucking chill, I guess." game info ☠ setting ☠ statuses ☠ ic profiles private conversations ☠ murder proposals ☠ money full nav

[She's. Staring at Akira for a moment.]

Do you, um. Do you need some help?

[purrtagonist]

[holds up the bottle of soda Ranpo just offered him, before kicking it back and taking a large gulp]

I'm two days sober when it comes to coffee. But this'll do. . . for now.

[alchemicalwater]

Do you need coffee? There's a starbucks there.

[purrtagonist]

[boooooy does some coffee sound great]

I have to keep up the charade somehow. . .

[alchemicalwater]

Why did you pretend to give up coffee, of all things?

[purrtagonist]

It was the price I originally played during my first Game.

[and so, the sensation was familiar. easy to fake]

. . . it wasn't just coffee, actually. But that's how it started.

[alchemicalwater]

So what you're saying is that I should sneak coffee into chocolate milk bottles, then?

[Undine is nothing if not creative.]

[purrtagonist]

[holy shit]

. . .

You'd do that for me?

[he is both impressed and a little surprised that she's offering]

[alchemicalwater]

Sure! If it would help.

[purrtagonist]

I. . .

[well]

[hot diggity dog he's going to accept]

. . . sure. Can I do anything for you in return, Wells-san?

[alchemicalwater]

No, it's alright. I just want to help where I can.

[purrtagonist]

So do I.

[and, a bit more lightly]

And I don't like to accept favors without giving something in return.

[Akira Kurusu always repays his debts]

[alchemicalwater]

Then I suppose you could give me a friendship?

[Look. She'll never say no to friends.]

[purrtagonist]

[he laughs, a bit breathlessly]

Is that really all it'll take?

Deal, then.

[alchemicalwater]

It's a deal!

Maybe your codename should be 'Swap' then.

[Since Akira swaps favors instead of owing someone something.]

[purrtagonist]

[a snort, but he shakes his head]

No. I actually had an idea about that.

What if we name ourselves after numbers? That's the most neutral way I could think of for us to come up with code names.

[he feels like everything else will be biased by some personality quirk, or appearance, or something that could easily tip the other Players off]

[alchemicalwater]

Numbers? That isn't a bad idea, actually. Oh, and we can conceal how many of us there actually are too! We could take our numbers from a range of up to twelve.

[purrtagonist]

[even better! he was still trying to figure out a way around that problem himself]

I call 007.

[just be "seven," Akira]
