[ honestly they have bigger fish to fry but this is bothering him. ]
[ anyway, he gives magnus a little wave. ]
Mamma mia, here we go again... or something to that effect.

[ this is so sad poo-chi play mmm whacha say ]
Curious how it all unfolded like this, based on an accident.

And self-locking cell doors in foreboding cabins covered in fog.
Guess that wasn't in the cards.
[ thanks to taako he knows what an npc is now ]
.... It's worth hearing them out, at least.

Yeah. I learned my lesson last time, about assuming everybody was my enemy just because I couldn't see their goal.
But if feels like they spent all last week pretending there wasn't any risk, and now they're mad at us for triggering a trap we didn't know was there.

There's also their little game.... despite the insistence that it's a harmless game for fun, some of those abilities are pretty dangerous.
[ like cursing a door ]
That's the long and short of it. Whatever their circumstances, seems like we're in this together now.

Seems like it.
[ his charm!! magnus is charming. ]
So, about your game....

You've got me pretty curious, I've got to admit.
[ now exposition ]

Okay.
[I'm copying this from my thread with Dick because you both like to punish me.]
So, in ours, we all died, and then showed up to this city called Shibuya? The host was this cute lil scamp named Max, and he made a hotel for us, because he was worried we'd get scared sleeping outside.
Anyway, it turned out that this was a Reaper's Game, which is like. A thing that supposedly exists in the afterlife where you can earn the right to come back to life? They all have different mechanics, supposedly, but in this one we had the ol' killing each other and then having trials about it classic.
The twist was that some of us were actually secret Reapers, who were put in the game to pick us off, so we were supposed to be figuring out who the Reapers were. There were actually two teams of Reapers, one group with like, detective roles and shit and one group who had to murder somebody every week. We started calling them the Mighty Ducks and the Bad News Bears, because 'good reapers' and 'bad reapers' started getting a little iffy as we went on, if you know what I mean.
And we had powers! Mine was that I could make big magic energy slashes with my axe, Taako could levitate stuff.

[ he approacheth......... he was heading there too, funnily enough. ]
Didn't think you'd want to head back here so soon.

.... Maybe it has, since yesterday. [ because of yu. woof. ]
I'm sure it's foreshadowing of some sort.

[ sometimes when you gagtag you forget to give an actual tag and are a horrible person for that ]
[ also this all seems very believable, especially the part where max is a little scamp who loved them all so very much. ]
... Must have been confusing.
[ the two gangs of reapers. ]
So you were all already dead and had to play a murdergame? Sounds a little like overkill.... no pun intended.
[ or was it. anyway, he nods for magnus to go on. ]

Yeah. Playing to stay alive, not to not die.
[So.]
So. Eventually, it turned out everything was just a lie! We were all being tested on like. Teamwork or something. In fact, the game almost ended when too many of the Ducks got caught and killed off. It turned out they were actually being forced into it, and most of them were like. Teenagers. Reaper teenagers.
Once we stopped hunting them, we got back on the right track? It turned out the Composer wasn't doing it for bad reasons, either. She was kinda forced into running a game like this, but was trying to help us prove we deserved better than that.

Is that a common thread, in your experiences?
Death being fake? Oooh, boy.
[He says that pretty cavalier, but then Phoenix was there, so - ]
Well, it's two separate things, right? There's death, when someone dies and they're gone, forever, and there's nothing you can do about it unless you use time travel to destroy everyone else you care about. And then there's "death," but it's reversible, which pretty much defeats the entire purpose. I've had a lot of, uh, both, I'd say?

Twist on a common concept, I suppose.
[ parts of that are familiar to him. everyone leaping to accuse blue who was more or less forced to participate, same as them.... the answer being not murder. well. some things are consistent. ]
So, where did Akira come into play? The one you knew.
