Week 1, Wednesday - (Detective) Reapers

[withsadness]

[Once again, Mary is calling everyone for a meeting. This one is somewhat spontaneous, following the completion of the week's mission as soon as it's not too conspicuous to be getting together in private.]

Everybody, everybody! I found a report in Wildkat that I think we'd all want to hear! Are you paying attention, are you ready? It talks about entry fees, and how Reapers don't have them! Of course, we already know about that, but I thought it would be important that we all know that Yusuke, Madara, and Sinbad have all seen it and will probably tell others if they don't make a big public announcement. Cat's outta the bag!

[Get it, because...it was found in Wildkat...haha...]

You're a child, and a likable at one at that — I wager you'll be fine. Just try to be a little less morbid around the others, alright?

[ he sighs, going over this newfound information in this head. ]

Our acts need to remain airtight, in any case. There is no room for a mistake from this point and onward — we keep our own lies consistent and press on the slightest inconsistency anyone else exhibits.

[withsadness]

[She's likable--! Wait.]

When have I been morbid?

[SHE ISN'T AT ALL CONSCIOUSLY AWARE OF THIS???]

[grano]

When I was bleeding, you smiled — I've witnessed much stranger as a Reaper, but the majority of our players are comprised of sensitive little humans who are mortified by the very idea of violence.

[ a wave of the hand. ]

For that reason, it's necessary that you feign something similar — fear, anxiety, disgust, what have you.

[voyeur]

In her defence, it was pretty funny. Not being able to laugh at that practically killed me on the spot.

[grano]

This is precisely how I feel every single time you walk into a wall.

[withsadness]

[She's laughing at this too I'm sorry.]

[voyeur]

[it's okay he loves her anyway?]

[voyeur]

[Izaya however, is grinning. Because Jacopo is human xoxoxo]

Your composure is pretty decent so far. Personally, my favourite was the bucket of glitter.

[withsadness]

I did? Whoops!

[Sorry for laughing at your pain, popo.]

Okay, I'll scream next time!

[grano]

Yeah. Consider faking a few tears to leave a lasting impression.

[ he says it smugly, like it's the best idea on the fucking planet. ]

Not too many, it may be overkill otherwise. Take a few notes on the more fragile players if you have to...that Chiyo girl, for one.

[withsadness]

Oh, yeah! I bet you have lots of notes on eeeeveryone by now, huh? How do you keep your diary safe?

[It's just a diary now.]

I haven't started working on her yet, so thank you for the tip!

[bladeisme]

[After Jacopo's explained, but!]

You might be able to get away with it if you say your family trained you to like blood, or something. A lot of people are sensitive, sure, but they're also way more sensitive to a kid who's been taught the wrong things by the people they should trust.

[He feels awful for suggesting this, but...]

[withsadness]

Oh, but I already told a lot of people about how father left me.

[Or, mostly implied, but, the point is there.]

I could just say that I'm maladjusted!

[It...it isn't a lie.]
