Look, I'm just going to ask this straight out.

Who here's dead?

[... Smart ass responses incoming in three... two... one.]

And no, we don't need to swap death stories, that's dumb.

I'm kind of curious. I've been dead for a few weeks at home. There's also the fact that my pins won't work if I can't make a pact with another Player, so I thought maybe if there was someone else in the Reaper's Game here I could make a pact with them.

I see. I'm sorry. Although I am also dead back home, I haven't heard of the Reaper's Game. What do the pins do?

They let you do different attacks, basically. Most people can only use a few - I can use a few hundred. I'm not entirely sure why, though it's probably got something to do with why I got dragged into the whole mess in the first place.

I see. Like a Wild Card of pins. That seems a logical conclusion.

How do you make a pact?

[poweryetunknown]

A what.

Uh. It's hard to explain, since I don't really know how it works. You find another unpacted Player and you agree to a Pact. It's probably something stupidly named like 'soul resonance' or some shit

wait

[There's a pause for a second hang on.]

How did I not see all the damn music puns before?

[Let's not even talk about 'Beat' and 'Rhyme'.]

Ah sorry. With Persona users, in my world a wild card was someone who could use a lot of different Personas and have many different ones in their head at any given time.

Anyway, I see. Maybe whoever started the game liked music and puns?

[poweryetunknown]

Oh. Yeah, I guess.

I wouldn't be surprised. One of the Game Masters was a math geek and his puns let you know it.

Game Masters? So you met some of the arbitrators of the Reaper's Game?

[poweryetunknown]

Yeah, the seventh day has whoever's left face off against the Game Master. I get the feeling they're not supposed to let themselves get erased, but it happened twice. I even met the people above them. That's when things got even more complicated.

[fools_journey]

I see. More complicated?

[poweryetunknown]

Power struggles, mostly. But the guy with the highest position couldn't interfere directly, so he had to have a proxy.

And I was the lucky pick, apparently.

[ Wow. That sounds... not fun. ]

I see. I guess at least you have a break from that for now.
