Week 4, post execution - All Reaper Meeting

[bladeisme]

[Today...

Had been a hell of a thing. He hadn't expected to get an extra execution and go down a member in the same day, but -

It was almost a blessing. Now, they could go all out - and not worry about what would happen next, or leaks from people they worked with. Now, everything was set - and they only had three more weeks to go.

The time for hiding and trying to kill each other had passed. Now? If they wanted the dead to come back, there was only one option available to them.

To work together, and lead the players to the conclusion the Composer wanted.

Ichigo tells everyone to meet up in the Bookstore, a few hours after the execution and everything has settled down. He's sitting on the couch in there, reading - or trying to read and failing - as everyone shuffles in, looking up whenever someone arrives. And when they're all there?

He takes a breath,and closes his book.]

...So.

Let's talk.

Then let me set this down, so you don't spill it.

[tug tug.

She's mostly amused right now, it's not serious or scolding or anything.]

[purrtagonist]

[uuuuugh fine, he loosens his grip so she can take the not-really-chocolate-milk bottle away from him. though not before whining first]

Since when did you become my mom?

[alchemicalwater]

When you became lax in your personal care habits.

[She's poking him in the forehead now.]

You must be tired after today. Go to sleep.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . .]

Go awaaaaay, Morgana.

[alchemicalwater]

[Now she's giggling a little.]

Alright, alright.

[purrtagonist]

[at least some people here are trying to be a little lighthearted. things have been so serious as of late]

There are way too many people invested in my sleeping habits. . .

[alchemicalwater]

Maybe if you didn't look like you're about to pass out, then people wouldn't bother you about it.

[She's gently chiding him as she says that.]

[purrtagonist]

Cat naps don't count as "passing out," Undine.

[JUST SAYING]

[he protests too much]

[alchemicalwater]

I suppose you're right.

[Wait for it.]

You would need a blanket for it to be anything other than a cat nap. But at least you already have a pillow!

[bladeisme]

[A book whizzes by both of their heads.]

OI!

[alchemicalwater]

[Okay now she's laughing as she ducks to avoid the book.

Is this what it's like to have friends? It's been a while since she's had one of those, it's nice.]

[purrtagonist]

[casually ducks to the side because he is SMOOTH, even while kind of sleepy]

Wasn't that more of a compliment than anything, Ichigo?

[bladeisme]

[JUST. HUFFS.

Continue with your conversation, he's comforting Mary.]
