WEEK 4 - POST EXECUTION + WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT WAS
[ Well!
That was something truly terrible. But there's business to attend to, last requests and all that. Taako has ditched the veil and also most of the length of the skirt so he can actually move, and he and Magnus have somehow cornered Setz somewhere fairly soon after the spectacle.]
Hey, uh, homie, wait up. We've gotta chat.

[SORRY THAT'S MEAN TOO.]
Should do some sort of public call, right? Put a sign out: If you're having weird-ass thoughts, bring 'em here. No point in beating around the bush trying to gently pry it out of these dingdongs. Done with that shit.
As for Akira, I agree. Think the, uh, danger, is if what he's saying is right, then he'll have to kill someone this week. This isn't me volunteering, by the way.
no subject
[Regarding Akira, he nods slowly, looking grim.]
... Mm. I'm not sure if certain Players will even wait for the trial to go after him, but...
[Well, either way.]
If you plan on talking to him, keep in mind that he can't be open about everything—the Reapers seem to have certain restrictions in place, lest they face erasure. With that said, as long as you go with the intention of a civil discussion, he does want to share what he can, if it'll help everyone.
no subject
[He's starting to get an idea of how to help, though.]
Yeah, yeah, more mysterious bullshit. Speaking of which, Setz, do you know who all the Reapers are? Not just the, uh - okay. We need a better name for these teams than the good Reapers and the bad Reapers. How about if Akira's team is the Bad News Bears, and Jacopo's team is the Mighty Ducks. You know the roster for the Ducks, buddy?
no subject
Yeah, pal, you know the Ducks lineup? At least a push in the right direction. Who's the kid with the killer slapshot?
no subject
But yes, I know who all the Ducks are, and I have no idea what you mean by the "kid with the killer slapshot".
no subject
Think that was probably Jacopo. Or Izaya? Izaya was a Duck, right? He was faking his entry fee. You don't have to name them, but how many are left?
Also, which team is which? Composer and Conductor, which one is Emilio Estevez and which one is Billy Bob Thornton? And don't get at me, I know the remake was shit, but Billy Bob is objectively a funnier name to drop.
no subject
Just have to keep track of numbers, since we have to worry about, uh, keeping Player population up, right? Can't help but think that's going to come up as an issue at some point.
no subject
Yeah, Izaya was one. There are three Ducks left, and two Bears left. When Max said there were seven Reapers left, both factions were included in that count at the time.
The Bears answer to the Conductor... Well, indirectly, I suppose the Composer is in charge of them all, but the Bears don't have any unique means of contact with them. The Ducks, on the other hand, are managed directly by the Composer from what I understand.
no subject
[It makes sense to these two, and that's all that matters, right?]
I kind of feel good that we don't know who the last Bear is. It makes things risky, but it also means they're playing it close to the chest. Seems like Jacopo's shop had a lot of leaks. I might have a lead on the last one, but I'm not sure. And I'm not ready to say a name, because I'm trying to build trust.
One more question. Do you have a suspicion as to who killed Jacopo? Monika was certain it was Newt. I'm not so sure. But whoever did that seems like one of the biggest threats still around, don't you think?
no subject
Uh, so, seven Reapers, 16 players. Going to get tough to juggle that if we're losing people are the rate we currently are.
no subject
There's an undercurrent of fury in Setz's eyes, because hahaha guess who's still really upset about his partner—]
I have no idea. I didn't even realize how much he was sharing with others, given how long it took for him to trust even me.
no subject
[Might be nice to have an extra vote at trials.]
I think not just protecting our Reapers, but we need to work on stopping Player kills. We're wracking up bodies now.
no subject
Yeah, homie. Whoever it is, uh, isn't getting away with it. I mean, there's killing people, and then. That.
no subject
[or well tbh there are some homicidal feelings in there but he's restraining them.]
Not that Player kills were ever a good idea, but at this stage, they're even worse.
no subject
no subject
[Just. Holding his temples.]
no subject
no subject
I'm not afraid of getting erased, either. Because we decided. The Erased are coming back. We're not leaving them behind.
no subject
[Adjusting his hat, a little anxiously though.]
Besides, we've done it before. Dying. It gets kinda boring after what, the fifth or sixth time?
no subject
Anyhow.
Slowly, as he decides to just push that thought away,]
... You'll have to talk to Akira about that.
no subject
[But at least Setz isn't telling them they tried it, and it didn't work. It's something new. Maybe it'll pan out.]
Maybe we should go get on that. But, uh, let's check in, okay? Keep us in the loop. I know there'll be things you can't share with us, but we're here to help.
[And...just going to ruffle his hair.]
You're a good kid, Setz. Don't take too much on on your own.
no subject
And try not to get murdered in the meantime, capiche?
no subject
[He's never going to get used to hair ruffles???]
A-All right...?
