#REAPER MEETING

When it hits 07:00, the Reapers are probably expecting to be teleported into a shady corner to meet up with the Host again. It does not go quite like that though. Between one blink and the next, they will suddenly find themselves teleported from wherever they just were and to what seems to be a greenhouse. Strangely enough, if they peek through its various windows, none of the outside landscape looks familiar. What seems to be sunlight can sort of be made out in the distance, but there is a peculiar haze that makes figuring out how far away they are from it difficult. Despite this fog, the actual interior of the greenhouse is fairly brightly sunlit. They'll also notice a song playing from invisible speakers. That is not the only thing that’s different this time around. Sitting at a table is none other than Anthy Himemiya, looking very much… well, not dead! She takes a sip of a cup of tea, before turning to look at everyone with a pleasant smile. "Good morning, everyone. Shall we get started?" game info ☠ setting ☠ statuses ☠ ic profiles private conversations ☠ murder proposals ☠ money full nav

[ anthy is sitting at a garden table, sipping tea out of a mcdonald's cup. there is a kotatsu on the floor besides the table, so please, sit anywhere you like. ]

I apologize for the delay in greeting all of you. Check your handbooks before we proceed.

[ and if they do open up their handbooks, they will notice an extra page in the back, only visible to them. ]

[voyeur]

[.................................................................................]

[rosemance]

[ sips her tea. ]

Hotpot?

[grano]

You always did remind me of my own.

[ i fucking hate you francia ]

Will she...will your betrothed return to you again, one day?

[ it's a surprisingly genuine question. ]

[rosemance]

[ she's still smiling, but as soon as he mentions utena, the smile fades into something more wistful. ]

Utena-sama... that's part of the reason why you're all here.

[bladeisme]

[WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE

Honestly, he's kind of in shock, along with just reading the new page that just showed up. But, well, when he's done being in shock...

He'll just kind of. Go take a seat at the fucking kotatsu jesus christ.]

...I don't know how to feel about this.

[Beyond, you know, screaming???]

[rosemance]

It's a lot to take in.

[ that's an understatement. ]

[withsadness]

Oh wow!

[She was totally annoyed about the whole refusing to be Maya's partner thing but this was so crafty she can't even hold onto that anymore. Good for you, Anthy! Suddenly, you're a role model. Don't mind her while she gets all snuggly at the kotatsu.]

Do we know how big the other group is?

[rosemance]

[ thanks mary you're the best reaper ]

Not yet. When I confirm that information, I'll pass it along to you all.

[allsetfree]

[ sweats ]

Uhhh. G-good to see you.

[rosemance]

Hello again.

[ bitch. ]

CHECK

[reapertoire]

[ Please reply with two Players you want to check in the subject header. It must be an unanimous agreement. ]

Junko and the Assassin of Shinjuku.

[bladeisme]

[hello my name is eski and i can't fucking read]

RESULTS

[rosemance]

[ anthy pulls out a small pin with the reaper decal on it. she holds it out in her open palm when they say the names and, afterwards, she immediately pockets the pin again. ]

The Assassin is a Player. Junko Enoshima is a Reaper.

[ she smiles at all of them before continuing. ]

Unfortunately, you cannot erase her until next week. However, you are free to attempt to have her convicted at trial or erase her during it. You may also simply wait. It's up to you.

let us discuss

[grano]

Those phoney, rat Reapers need to pay for getting the easier end of this deal — and for stealing my damned job.

[ UGH!! protecting instead of killing is so HARD. ]

First and foremost, I'd like to take the time to praise Izaya for his performance yesterday. Had I not known only better, I would truly think he was a poor, decent blind sap terrified of the prospect of human mortality!

[ anyways. ]

Alliances and suspicions. What do we have?

[bladeisme]

Junko.

[JUST. FLAT OUT.]

She's pretty unhinged, and I don't trust her.

[Also he's pointedly ignoring all the izaya stuff, because GUESS WHO FUCKING BOUGHT IT.

He really is The Worst Reaper.]

[voyeur]

Thanks, thanks. I'd like a little golden statue, and also for Ichigo to try to take inspiration from it.

[btw he only sat down once he had the hotpot. he has priorities okay]

Junko Enoshima didn't want information on Reapers from Max. She's also definitely a crazy bitch, which honestly might account for that.

Obviously, if anyone has intentions of giving any information to a partner that might paint a target on them for a Reaper, like telling them you can investigate things, it's necessary to clear that person of a Reaper check first. I'd been considering revealing to my partner some more information, since I think that they'll move with me for the sake of preserving their own 'miracle.' However, that sort of thing can't be done recklessly. Priority should be for those we suspect or those we think it's absolutely necessary to give information to.

Further, the Assassin of Shinjuku looks like he could be a useful pawn to send as a proxy for killing Reapers. It might be worth checking him out for that purpose alone, as well as cultivating an alliance.

[allsetfree]

Junko is definitely up there on the awful meter. I'm with everyone else on that.

[voyeur]

Alright, alright!

My suggestion is simply this: let's cultivate a positive relationship with the Assassin to use him as a weapon later. Since we can't kill Junko, let's see if we can try to frame her.

[He glances at Ichigo.]

If our chances of a majority vote are looking low, then Ichigo, you're probably the one of us who could best get away with a 'hot-headed lynching.'

Finally, please keep an eye on Miki Kuroda for next week. She's another one that seems to be 'suspicious in nature.'

[grano]

Tch. Not a bad idea. That woman is well on her way to being murdered by a mob as it is. I suspect that she'll be easier to frame than to kill, anyhow.

As for Assassin: get on it, everyone. I'll look into Miki.

[allsetfree]

I hadn't really talked to the Assassin, but I'll work my way in there. All casual-like. At least as an acquaintance.

[bladeisme]

[God, well...]

I'll do my best if it comes to that. But I don't think it will - she definitely didn't do herself any favors yesterday during the executions.

[Seriously, she basically painted a target on her back with that one.]

I'm not sure I'd be the best to get close to assassin, though - he thought I was suspicious and told me I was to my face the last time I spoke to him, but...maybe things changed with how I acted during the trial.

[rosemance]

[ this is very important, but at some point in the meeting, there will be a big mac brought out.

it has a candle on it and on top of the bun it says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" in ketchup. i'm sorry. ]

[bladeisme]

[CRACKING THE FUCK UP OVER HERE

HE'S SORRY IT'S JUST SO PERFECT]

[grano]

[ he meets her gaze.

and he looks...

genuinely. touched? ]

I. Er.

[ he swallows. ]

I don't. I didn't...think....You have my thanks...
