[withsadness]

[Here they all gather, around the great Moyai Statue, who is lonely and has done nothing wrong. He shall keep their secrets as they yell at a small angry child.]

Soooo...today was really enlightening!

I know it's hard not to get riled up, but come on, man. They're looking for Reapers.

[ she nudges him lightly because she's not actually? angry or anything, and it's not like she did great out there, either. she's kind of half just teasing. ]

[bladeisme]

What about you?

[He's trying to tease back, but it's clear his heart isn't in it.]

Didn't think you were tipping your hand too hard with the 'don't go after the reapers' stuff?

[allsetfree]

But that's what I would have said even if I weren't one. It's not fair to make Maya go down earlier than she has to if she didn't do anything.

[bladeisme]

..Yeah, I know.

[Why can't this just be a normal game with like. Normal things, like summoning noise and fighting players up front??]

But if we're competing against each other, then it makes sense to take out the competition as soon as possible, too.

[Because, after all, other reapers? Are not innocent in the slightest.]

[allsetfree]

Well, if it's any consolation, no one went along with my idea. So.

[bladeisme]

Yeah. Guess I'll just have to see if people buy that I was just assuming too much.

[And to be fair, he made a lot of assumptions from the start.]

[allsetfree]

Maybe you could start jumping to a bunch of other conclusions from here on out? Like, start saying stuff about Reapers that you've "deduced" that's totally wrong?

[bladeisme]

Might be worth a shot, especially if I mix in some stuff from back home.

['Home.' Like that isn't a world where most of his friends are dead and his corpse is keeping the worlds afloat.]

I'll keep it in mind, then. Thanks, Alex - I appreciate it.

[ she sounds kind of startled to be thanked. ]

Oh, uh. No prob.
