#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

[purrtagonist]

Hm.

[the smallest of shrugs]

I'm Akira Kurusu. And you are?

[venomosity]

Dahlia Hawthorne.

There, was that hard, Mr. Kurusu?

[purrtagonist]

Extremely. One of the hardest things I've ever done.

[so bland]

[venomosity]

Oh, how difficult it must be, to be you.

[dahlia don't antagonize your teammates!!]

[purrtagonist]

[HE STARTED IT]

Every day is a trial. I've passed every one so far, but who knows when my mediocre luck will run out?

[venomosity]

For all our sakes, it better not be now.

I'm not afraid of taking matters into my own hands.

[purrtagonist]

[shifts from one foot to the next, studying her carefully]

I can see that.

But you purposefully give others a different impression.

1/2

[venomosity]

Because I know it works. Lull others into a false sense of security...

[venomosity]

Then strike.

[purrtagonist]

[his gaze narrows, suddenly on guard]

Like a snake.

[venomosity]

[she just laughs]

Oh, come on. I'm vengeful, but I'm not stupid. You and all the others here are the safest from the likes of me.

[purrtagonist]

[for some reason, that doesn't get him to relax]

Admittedly, it wasn't me I was worried about.

I don't think this is a job we're supposed to enjoy.

[venomosity]

It's not like I enjoy killing. I enjoy surviving.

[purrtagonist]

We all enjoy surviving. But that doesn't mean we have to turn it into a game.

[venomosity]

But are you willing to do it at all?

[purrtagonist]

I'll do what I need to do in order to survive.

[for Ichigo, who doesn't deserve to lose his chance at life just because he was paired with a Reaper. for Makoto and Yusuke, who need someone to look out for him]

[for himself, because he does value his life. but that's last on the list]

But I'll do it my way.

[venomosity]

Oh? Share with the class, why don't you.

[purrtagonist]

[he offers her a placid smile]

No. That's all right.

Just know that I don't intend to put anyone in this group in unnecessary danger.

[venomosity]

I would hope not. Even if I prefer to work alone... what kind of team would we be otherwise?

[purrtagonist]

[she's got him there]

Not a very good one.

[and putting aside how he feels about these rules, he doesn't think it fair to condemn his fellow Reapers to death by being reckless or stupid. regardless of how. . . uh. them. they are]

[venomosity]

[honestly it's mostly just junko and dahlia who need to be apologized for, but still]

Glad we're on the same page on that note, then, Mr. Kurusu.

[purrtagonist]

[that is essentially who he is thinking of here, yep]

Hm.

Likewise, Hawthorne-san.
