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.

Deal with it, etc.

Huh. More than I expected.

text

[drakenguard]

How many wayward souls are there?

text

[poweryetunknown]

Four aside from me, maybe?

text

[drakenguard]

That is strangely a lot...

[Well, how odd. Why would they go to the trouble of snagging up dead people?]

text

[poweryetunknown]

That's what I'm thinking, too. It can't be a coincidence.

text

[drakenguard]

It isn't. We are here to fulfil a specific purpose, after all. They must have wanted us enough to ignore the fact that we are dead.

What is more troubling is that they have the power to achieve such a thing.

text

[poweryetunknown]

Well in the Reaper's Game you feel alive, even if you're not. So it's not like this is the first time I've run into someone with that kind of power.

It's definitely worrying though.

text

[drakenguard]

Reaper's Game?

text

[poweryetunknown]

Certain souls, if they're strong enough, are entered into the Reaper's Game. If you win, you might get a chance to come back to life, depending on how well you do.

text

[drakenguard]

How interesting. Are there any 'Reapers' here, do you know?

[Perhaps this Philemon is a reaper? Hmm, no, he didn't seem like anything that dealt with death, despite his powers to revive them...]

text

[poweryetunknown]

Not that I've seen.

text

[drakenguard]

Shame. Then I suppose only Philemon can answer questions as to why they revived a group of dead people.

text

[poweryetunknown]

I wouldn't trust him. That guy seems creepy as hell.

[Sure, he's expanded his world. That doesn't mean 'trust everyone'.]

text

[drakenguard]

I suppose that is one way of saying suspicious.

text

[poweryetunknown]

No, I've seen suspicious. That guy's just flat-out creepy.

text

[drakenguard]

What exactly would you say is 'creepy'?

[He's not seeing it, personally...]

text

[poweryetunknown]

Well the mask, for one. The way he seemed to know our names. The whole 'awakening power' thing or whatever - giving us powers we didn't have.

... I mean they're useful, but it's still creepy to know he can do something like that.

text

[drakenguard]

[That sounds similar to Alcor...although sans the mask. This stuff seems perfectly normal to Yamato]

I see. I wasn't aware the definition of 'creepy' had changed so much.

text

[poweryetunknown]

What's creepy to me might not be creepy to you, I guess. But that's not normal at all.

text

[drakenguard]

Such things are common when dealing with the supernatural.

text

[poweryetunknown]

I only started dealing with that stuff like three weeks before I came here.

text

[drakenguard]

You will become used to it after a little while. Such things are no longer 'creepy' after a month or so.

[Or so Yamato presumed. He's dealt with this shit all his life after all]

text

[poweryetunknown]

Hopefully. I guess I adjusted to the Game pretty quickly, so this might be okay.

text

[drakenguard]

Those who adapt quickly live longer. Just think of that as incentive.
