| Rhyme | Since meeting her GIANT new 'friend', AKA, yet another person Rhyme has offput trying to be nice or her rare cases of being an emo freak who is twitchy and now has long, detailed black tattoos scrolled down her legs and across the backs of her hands, though the latter are mostly hidden with her baggy sweater. Eating a big dollop of ice cream as she walks outside the Traverse Town city limits, humming lightly to herself. It was quieter out here. She didn't hear as many things. Feel so strange. That sort of thing. Becasue boy, did she feel strange lately! Weird itchings that turned into tattoos and freaking out and... But everything's okay! She's off to eat ice cream and look at the stars! And /nothing/ can go wrong. |
| Will Sherman | Sometimes, it doesn't pay to have the Luck of the hobo. On the outskirts of Traverse, Will is actually trying to take a nap, hat overhis face as he rests his eyes... And then Pinky opens her mouth. His eyes open, and he lifts his hat up to peer around a corner. Goddamn it, he just wants to sleeeep! However, there was a familar Rhyme, and... OH yes, he remembered her alright. The pink haired psycho who attacked them with penquins. He didn't get to /eat/ one either! That still...kinda went dull on his emotions. He was kinda feeling bad already, and the last thing he needed was a crazy person. However, he started to stand, keeping his position. Maybe they were actually friends... HA! |
| Rhyme | Rhyme licks her ice cream, without a care in the world. This swiftly changes, but not... Not entirely. She still licks at the ice cream cone, looking over the big vanilla scoop at Uzuki and her pink hair and hotpants. And she smiles. "Oh riiiiight! I remember you!" She snaps her fingers. "You're a Reaper. From the game. Fancy meeting you here. And yeah, I totally don't know what's going on. Listen, could you tell the hat guy? I'm /not/ a Player any more. I don't even have that skull pin." She offers, shrugging. "So... What have you been doing, since Shibuya? Even if we were enemies before, we still both lost a home..." She sighs, thouhg favors Uzuki with a smile. "At least you're staying positive!" |
| Uzuki Yashiro | The Emergency Call was sweet, sweet music to Uzuki's ears. The Reaper has been having the time of her second life since she doesn't have to worry about pesky rules anymore. And will you look at that, a Player is happily eating ice-cream by herself. Oh wait a second, that Player looks awfully familiar. Now it would simply be -rude- for her not to say hello. From her perch on one of Twilight Town's outlying buildings, Uzuki descends effortlessly to the ground with those black tattoo like wings of hers sprouting forth from her back as she does so. "Long time no see. You seem -alive- and well." The pink-haired Reaper says with a wry grin as she kicks her leg back slightly and places a finger near her lip. |
| Uzuki Yashiro | Unlike some people, Uzuki works for a living. And she is very, very, very diligent when it comes to work. She will never get promoted unless she erases more Players and she thought she already had this one in the bag. Hobos aside, this Reaper has a job to do. But whhhhhhaaaaat? Rhyme is not a player anymore? But she lost? She -saw- her lose and it was awesome. "You are not a Player anymore?!" She mimics back before clenching a claw-like hand towards Rhyme. Ooh, this is so unfair! She worked hard for that one too. But then a clever idea pops into her head. Hehehe. "Oh, I'm very positive these days." The Reapette reaches behind her back and seemingly brings an odd-looking handgun from out of nowhere. "I am also positive that you should be back in the Game where you belong." The weapon is now leveled towards Rhyme. "I don't care if you aren't in the Game anymore. I need to erase more Players and if there aren't any around, I'll just have to make some new ones!" There she goes again. Pinky is getting that crazy look in her eyes again. She just might mean business. |
| Will Sherman | Slowly, the hobo moves when he sees the gun flashing. His own hands moving into his coat and pulling out the Shotgun of Leadership and advancing. Fortune favors the bold here, as he cocks the shotgun right behind Pinky. He speaks, slowly, "Lady, you're messing with a friend of mine. And I really don't like it when people mess with my friends." he rumbles calmly. Too calmly, "So, I suggest you place your gun back, and instead get me and you some ice cream so we can have fun with my friend here." he says, with a cold smile. "Hi Rhyme, sorry about running out on you and the new girl yesterday." he says, giving her a legitamite smile. |
| Rhyme | Lick. Lick. Liiiiiick. Bitelick. Rhyme noms on the ice cream she has as Uzuki talks, her smile dying slowly as she talks. "Nope. I'm pretty certain I'm not a player. Can't use any pins... I didn't even... Hey, is that a..." She blinks. There is a gun pointed at her. "Really? /Back/ into the game? You're crazy! I thouhgt we could... You know, be at least nice to each other. Friends, or I don't know... It was a new beginning! After being killed /twice/ I thought anything is possible. But you're..." Oh, hey, it's Will. "Sorry about yesterday... But I'm sure we can all calm down, and be reasonable, and not /shoot/ each other!" |
| Uzuki Yashiro | It's nothing personal, Rhyme. It's strictly business. Uzuki can turn Rhyme into a Player again. She just needs to kill her first. But before she can fire, she is interupted by shotgun wielding hobo. The trigger happy Reaper turns now and points her magical weapon at her new foe. "You could become a Player too. I would so enjoy erasing you, -penguin killer-." Sure they were terrible noise, but they were also adorable J-Popguins. The Reaper still has that disturbed look in her eyes and her black wings stretch out more as she stands there. "I did not know you brought a friend. I could bring a few friends along too. It could be just one big, happy reunion," offers Uzuki with a laugh. |
| Will Sherman | Will gives Uzuki a weird smile. "Oh yes, please, shoot at me. It'll go well for you. You see, I'm fresh, not beat up after dealing with your minions...and I have a friend with me. You're outmatched..." Will observes, quietly. "The lady asked you to play nice, so I suggest you play nice. Don't be stupid, put the gun down, and buy us some ice cream." he says, with another cold stare. "Also, those things weren't real penquins...just like you're not a human. It's not just the wings, I mean, I can see much more then that." That stare again, like he's looking right through her. |
| Rhyme | "I told you, I'm not a player. That doesn't mean I'm out of your stupid game. You... You did something to me! Or a reaper, or something. Now I have these marks, tattoo things and they /itch/ something fierce. So why don't you put the gun down, and explain this stupid thing!" She growls, her smile withering as she fishes her Rhyme Pin out of her pocket. "This is the only pin I have now, and it doesn't do anything! And I feel funny all the time, and..." "Pengiuns? Just be glad it's not sharks. Look, Miss Reaper, please don't force this to get weird. Please?" She begs. |
| Uzuki Yashiro | Uzuki laughs at Will and his bravado. Her weapon remains leveled towards him and she uses her other hand to gesticulate broadly. "Duh, I'm a Reaper. And you think that you would even stand a chance against me?" The Reaper laughs again before coyly placing a finger against her chin. "I would like to see you try. Oh, and don't look behind you~," warns the pink-haired girl. Rhyme's response causes Pinky to glance back her way. She then tuuuuuurns and -looks- when Rhyme mentions getting tattoos. A look of brief confusion crosses the Reaper's face. Huh? That is not what is supposed to happen. "Mmm, just let me kill you. Then we will know for sure if you are still in the Game or not," proposes Uzuki with a grin. Also. Duh-nuh. Duh-nuh. Duh-nuh, duh-nuh, duh-nuh. |
| Will Sherman | Will starts to chuckle, then laughs a bit harder. "Oh a Reaper...scary." he says, with a dismissive chuckle, "Pinky, I gave you your c-" then he moves, half way through speaking because he was sure she was up to something. He moves supernaturally fast, as he rolls out of the way...and his right hand seems to grab something that shimmers into existance but for a brief moment. It looks like...strings? One connected to himself, and one connected to his new friend, Rhyme. They are visible for for a brief moment, before he releases them...somehow, they look as if they were stronger the longer he held them, as the shotgun levels back on Pinky. "Nobody, is killing my friend. You're going down." |
| CADUCEUS | "Surely we dont have to go as far as Deresolution." A voice calls out, possessing an electronic echo to it as a man wearing grey light body suit and armor with green glowing circuits approach, hands behind his back as he approaches the goings on. He reaches for his back and pulls off the disk, the edges glowing bright green as energy hums. |
| Rhyme | "No. I really think twice is more then enough, Reaper." Rhyme states evenly. "What is it, with you and killing people? Were you going to kill me... /twice/, once to put me back in the game, and then once again when in it? Do you take some perverse pleasure in the sufferings of others? And why won't you give me a straight answer?" She growls, her happy demeanor having given way to some sort of animalistic snarl. Under her beanie, two points rise up, lifting the cloth hat a bit. "Lets all calm down and wo-" She stops as Will does his magic fatelines, adopting the battle stance of the Boy Hobo King, and just shakes her head. "Okay, nevermind. As I was saying! Lets all calm down and I won't... Hrrrrrng..." She mutters. |
| Uzuki Yashiro | Pinky? -Pinky?- PINKY?! How does everyone know that nickname of hers? Can't they just leave her hair out of this? The pink-haired Reaper looks rather preturbed that this Will guy is being such a jerk. Without her wings flapping at all, Uzuki swooshes up into the air above and lazily hands there in the sky with her pistol still in hand. She then promptly points off in the distance. "Have fun! When you are all dead, I'll be sure to turn you all into Players because I am just that nice of a girl." An angry look is then leveled towards the interrupting Caduceus. "That goes for whatever you are too!" But what was Uzuki pointing at? Why it appears to be nothing. No wait, it is a shark fin that is sticking out of the ground and heading straight for Rhyme. It seems that Mister Shark has not forgotten Rhyme either. Uzuki Yashiro also takes this time to turn to Rhyme to gloat some more as she begins to hulk out or something. "Ooh, you don't look so good, but I don't really care about people, I care about Players. Do you even -know- what happens if a Reaper doesn't erase enough Players ?" She demands as she continues to float in the air idly. |
| Will Sherman | "It would be good riddance to bad rubbish. Well, in your case, PINK rubbish!" Will says, with a smirk on his lips. However, he turns to find the fin...Will hated sharks. He hated fish, he hated the /ocean/ and everything that reminded him of it! Will narrows his eyes, Will attempting to interpose himself between Rhyme and the sharp, before pulling the gun up, and aiming to try and blast the shark when it comes up to take a bite... "Chew on this." he says, smiling at himself. NICE ONE! Man, using a shot gun wasn't that hard...all you have to do is point, shoot, and do good one liners. Best gun. |
| CADUCEUS | "I am a Military designed medical program. Clinical Assistance Directorial Utilitary Companion with Enhancement Upgrade Systems, or CADUCEUS if you wish to shorten my name. I am afraid I cannot let you harm these two users." He says as he then notes the fin. The disk glows as he hurls it, the disk becoming a green blur as it flies for the shark, atleast to try an cut that fin off. |
| Rhyme | Dazzled by the sick one-liners being delivered by none other then the Lord High Hobo, Esquire and the Extremely Long Acronym Man attacking something behind her, Rhyme turns, hopping back (towards Uzuki) and skittering away, on instinct. "THAT! THAT THING! THAT IS THE THING! KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT WITH DEATH!" She howls, crouching low as she flees from the Shark in a wide circle. "You shouldn't /make/ players, just for fun! Where are the rules? There's rules, right? For your game! And... What, you get demoted? To red-hoodie-wall-duty? They don't seem to erase anyone! It'd be a good look for you! Maybe re-dying your hair though AND KEEP THAT SHARK AWAY FROM MEEE!" She cries, Benny Hill music cosmically playing in the background. She's afraid, and confused, and her previous death flashes before her eyes. And it's not a very nice experience. |
| Uzuki Yashiro | Uzuki looks more offended then outright angry at Will's one liner. "Leave my hair out of this!" She demands with a shaking of her non pistol holding hand. Cadu's disk hits the Noise's tattoo-esque fin which causes the creature to 'surface' in rage. The entirety of the creature can be seen now from its odd blue eye liner tattoos to its many, many sharp teeth. There even seems to be fake tatoo water around the shark as if it really was swimming its way towards Rhyme. The shotgun-blast momentarily slows the Noise down, but it soon picks up speed once again as it attempts to draw closer to Rhyme. It's teeth gnash together eagerly in anticipation. Uzuki Yashiro turns her attention back towards Rhyme when she talks about her being demoted to the lowest form of Reaper. Tsk Tsk. Don't these people known -anything-?! "-I- get erased if I don't erase others. It is erase or be erased and I don't plan on swimming with the fishes anytime soon." The Reaper then laughs as they often do as the shark noise keeps on trucking forward. |
| Will Sherman | Will was getting fed up with this crap. "Hey you! Program! Hit the shark with the disk again! Force it out of the...ground. Yes, that is a thing I said!" he shouts, as he runs after it and Rhyme. There was only a little time he had to make this right...and he runs forward, trying to cut off the shark from it's prey again. Twenty feet... Will pushes himself forward, he only had one shot at this, and if he messed it up, his new friend would be... Ten feet. He turns this into a slide, hopefully, the disk would already be thrown, causing the shark to pop up again... Just a few feet... Will finishes his slide, aiming to put himself right on front of the noise...and fires once more. Repeatedly. Again and again. His eyes slits as he bares his hatred into the heartless-like monster, as he bends fate to cause misfortune to hamper the thing from getting away. |
| CADUCEUS | "If you get erased then why not fight the system? How long do you honestly think complying will buy you time for?" CADUCEUS asks as his disk comes back to him and he catches it before turning his body with the momentium and throws the disk again as hard as he can, complying with the hobo as he tries to make it surface once more. |
| Rhyme | Rhyme is freaking the heck out. This is because Rhyme is being chased by a shark. A shark that killed her before. But there was something different from before. This time she saw it coming - and this time she had friends helping her. Well, a friend, and a RANDOM guy with one hell of a name, but still. It's different. So different. She felt less... Helpless? And angry? But she didn't want to give into that anger. "If your life rests with the /killing/ of people, then you're no better then... Then... There has to be another way! What about all those other reapers? The ones who didn't kill anyone? This isn't a game any more! I understood it the first time, but not this time!" She slides to a stop, pointing at Uzuki as Will shotguns the snot out of the Shark. "You just like killing people!" |
| Uzuki Yashiro | This lot was doing nothing but making Uzuki more and more angry. Pfft. Like she had any choice in this anymore. She became a Reaper and was then bound by the rules that all Reapers must follow. Some Reapers are able to extend their lifetimes quite a bit by rounding up enough players, but in the end...it is always the same. A Reaper has got to reap. The shark Noise is blown through the air by the tag-team effort of CADUCEUS and Will. Mindless Noise were never really very good at strategy and the wounded Noise now flops around uselessly beneath Uzuki. The Reaper descends down overtop her own Noise and then erases it herself with a snap of her fingers. In a crackling static, the wounded Noise disappears into nothingness nearly as quickly as it had first appeared. "I -like- being a Reaper, I can actually -be- someone if I keep erasing Players." Uzuki smiles now. "And that's something I am more than glad to continue doing!" Sorry Caddy. Uzuki can't rebel against bosses who can erase her just as easily as she erased her own Noise. It was survival of the fittest. With an easy glide, Uzuki retreats back up onto top of a nearby building that is closer towards Traverse Town proper. "I've already wasted enough time here. It is Players that I need to erase, not you three." The Reaper then flies off in search of new prey. "Erase you later!" She calls out before laughing her through the twilight sky. |
| Will Sherman | Will grunts as the Reaper falls back down, taunting them. However, she look less interested in fighting now, and more about taunting...and leaving. Will, didn't want to actually fight her...not because he was afraid of losing. He was afraid of winning, and...being forced to rely on /THAT/ power to do so. He sighs, finally as Pinky left, and looks towards Rhyme. "Hey...are you alright?" he asks, a bit of concern in his tone, and face. "Nothing hurt?" |
| CADUCEUS | The disk returns to CADUCEUS and he catches it and looks to Rhyme. He approaches and a light green beam of light begins to flow about rhyme if she stands still, his disk scanning for injuries. "I assume you two knew her?" He asks, gesturing to where Pinky had fled off to. |
| Rhyme | Rhyme pants, the effects of running around leaving her lightly winded, as she looks between caduceus and Will. "I'm fine. I..." She tugs her beanie back down over her head, the protrusions from the top of her head having disappeared. "Yeah, nothing hurt." She beams at the two. "Thanks bunches for coming to help me. Even after I said those... Terrible things. I'm really sorry, by the way. That... That thing that was chasing me, the shark in the ground, that's..." She pauses, closing her eyes. "That was what killed me. The second time." "But everythings okay now, thanks to you two! I'm Rhyme, by the way." She offers to the person she has not met. |
| CADUCEUS | "I never knew someone could die multiple times." CADUCEUS says as he scans her. "I am CADUCEUS, a medical progra-" He says as his disk beeps and he sighs. "Excuse me." He says, leaving. |
| Will Sherman | Will shakes his head... Death is not a concept he is unfamilar with, his age is...giving him an unique understanding of it. "...This has to do with Reapers and Players right? I think I get the just of it, slightly. She was going on about it before, wanting to turn us into players by killing us...I just thought she was crazy but.." he thinks, looking at Rhyme. Will, frowning, walks over to Rhyme, and gives her a hug. "It's okay." he tells her and lets her go. For that moment, the hobo king seems...older. There is a tone to him that someone his apparent age should not have. "She won't hurt you while I'm around." he says, with a smile, "I think we met on the wrong foot, but...no reason we can't start things off anew right?" |
| Rhyme | "I guess. That was a Reaper. I... Used to be a Player. I can still form pacts, but they're... Wrong. Broken." Rhyme shakes her head, smiling a little. "I don't think these marks are just for show, or something? I don't know. You probably know. You see things, right? Thing we don't see." Rhyme shakes her head. "I'll be fine. Really. And we can! I mean, I just felt bad about saying those things I did. But if you're willing to forgive me..." There's a big, beaming smile. "Then let's be friends!" |
| Will Sherman | Will nods, solemly, "I won't lie to you. But...to be honest, there are things about my sight even I can't...fully grasp. I could be wrong, just like you could see something and be wrong." he shrugs. "It's not...your fault...I've been a bit sad lately, with...everything. So don't blame yourself, but.." he says, with a smile of his own, "Sure. Lets be friends. You seem like a good kid, and THAT is what matters." |
| CADUCEUS | CADUCEUS was once again in district 2, treating more people injured from heartless attacks. He held his disk over a man's side and slowly his injury subsides in a circuit like pattern before it finally heals over. He would then pat the man's shoulder. Even though he asks for no munny, the man still gives him some out of gratitude which the medic accepts before moving to a part of the sidewalk by an alley to sit and rest, taking a breath before putting his datadisk back along his back. |
| Deelel | The MCP is no longer hiding whom he is, the black guard have set up shop as the Datapoint Security. She's not seen much of CADUCEUS, so she's gouhg to seek up the older program as she finally has found him and calls out. "Greetings program! Hey wait up!" |
| CADUCEUS | CADUCEUS turns when someone calls out program and he stands back up and would gesture for her to follow him into the alley with the Mural. "Tis a Dark Day indeed, the MCP now ruling two worlds now." He says as he would sigh a bit and looks to the direction which datapoint Security was at. "I wonder how long he will wait till he tries to force the entire town into the games." He wonders outloud. |
| Deelel | Deelel says "he's not won the election yet but well there's the llama and I don't think he's going to win." She grimces "I run into prehaps one user able of understanding of what is going on here. We'll be seen as raving or insane. Not to mention from what little information, MCP is behvaing far less ... badly than most user Officals do." |
| CADUCEUS | "He is in a new land where his power is not as powerful as the grid. I am willing to wager he probably is no stronger then TRON or this LEXUS you told me of. Besides, by putting on a more...benevolent face to this public it allows him to put those like you me and TRON in a worse light." CADUCEUS says as he glances about. |
