#REAPER MEET UP

If the Reapers are expecting to be teleported into a shady corner by a ten year old again, they may be in for surprise. Instead, they'll wake suddenly, with their IC rulebook in their hand and open to a page in the back -- which contains a note that's only visible to them. "Reapers! Today's meeting will be at the IKEA restaurant at 7 AM sharp! There's coffee and snacks for everyone, so don't be late!" When they arrive at the IKEA restaurant, at 07:00, they'll find themselves walking into a private area of IKEA, with a door that closes and locks behind them once everyone is inside. The foreboding feeling usually present is missing entirely. And, true to form, there's comfortable seating, all manner of IKEA food, and beverages laid out for anyone and everyone to indulge in. Rather than the usual restaurant, the room is occupied by comfortable furniture from the showrooms. Once again, there's music looping forever. Try not to go insane. Already seated (and eating), is Maya Fey, very much alive, who enthusiastically waves them over as she shoves another forkful of meatballs into her mouth. "Hey guys! Take a seat and some chow and let's kick this thing off already!" game info ☠ setting ☠ statuses ☠ ic profiles private conversations ☠ murder proposals ☠ money full nav

[wha.............

excusE WHAT IS THIS]

[feytality]

Hi again, Terra....

[she dropped the mister]

Um, sorry I worried you.

[darkearth]

[HE WAS DEAD INSIDE, THANKS A LOT.]

I'm glad you're okay. Didn't I say you were strong?

[feytality]

Well, I don't think I'm that strong, but-- I'm glad I get to see you again, even if it's gotta be in secret like this.

[at least terra didn't kill her]

... And thank you.

[darkearth]

You shouldn't be here like this, but... [He doesn't have any room to talk, deciding to do what he did.] ...guess we all make tough choices sometimes.

[feytality]

Yeah, pretty much. Well, at least I'm here to help you guys --- I think you've got it rougher than anyone else here.

[except for the people actually super pro-erasure, ahem, junko. they're having a blast]

[darkearth]

I'll be okay. [But he's frowning just a little.] Vanitas is here. He's in Ven's body.

To help Ven, I need to destroy him, but... I can't because he's Undine's partner.

[deductionary]

[ .... let's just say he overheard this but really i just saw it on flat view ]

[ turns to undine ]

Ne. Blue-chan. Would you pact with Ribbon-chan [ monika ] if let's say you found your partner dead on Friday?

[alchemicalwater]

I...maybe? But she might figure me out, the only reason Vanitas doesn't know yet is because he's....

[She. Makes a wiggly motion with her hand.]

[darkearth]

You don't have to; I'll think of something.

It would be easy to accuse me if he's told someone. About who he is, or about who I am.

[alchemicalwater]

And that wouldn't help us at all, because then we would be down a reaper.

[feytality]

I'm gonna do my best to get all of you through this -- but I'm glad.

[he's resolved!!]

There's always making a new Pact, [like ranpo said] but that's something you gotta be careful about.

[darkearth]

[He nods.]

I don't want to make the same mistakes again. [Being stubborn, rushing into battle, Keyblade blazing.] I'll save Ven, one way or another.

[feytality]

Ven.... [yeah she remembers terra talking about his friends] That Vanitas guy has his face right now, doesn't he? That must suck.

[darkearth]

Yes. [A frown comes to his lips.] Xehanort took the Darkness out of Ven and made Vanitas.

Vanitas must have stolen Ven's body by joining with him again. But Ven... Ven doesn't deserve that.

[feytality]

Okay, now I kinda get what you were talking about with all the hearts and Darkness stuff, but it still sounds strange.

So, is Ven still in there? Or it's just that banana brain [don't ask] running around with this face on?

[darkearth]

He’s there. He has to be. I know Ven wouldn’t just vanish. He’s strong. His heart is full of Light. Vanitas won’t win.

[feytality]

I mean -- he is Undine's Partner so I doubt this is gonna come up, but would you be okay if it came down to you or him?

[like, she doesn't want terra to have to erase his friend that's trapped inside monkeybrain mcbananaface, but vanitas seems kind of dangerous from her experience with him]

[darkearth]

I would want to help Ven, but... If there’s no other way... I wouldn’t want him to take Ven’s body. I—

[NOW HIS INCENTIVE IS REALLY GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE FUCK I HATE Y’ALL]

[feytality]

[you did this to yourself]

Well, hopefully it won't come to that. I think you can save him, Terra.

[darkearth]

[merines - Today at 9:41 AM
You did this to yourself]

I think so, too. I'm going to try.
