[ooc] Not my best, I admit. >.>;; [/ooc]
Hm. This week was going to be different than most. Of course, they didn’t have games with Players every week. Actually, it was closer to every other week, or every three that there was a Game. This, though, could be considered a game. A very rare Reaper’s Game. The Composer had decided that the current Conductor was no longer needed, and therefore, a new one would be needed as a replacement.
‘But this game…’ The blonde Reaper mused, ‘Has the potential to become deadly.’ Most of the Reapers were mulling about in the Dead Gods Pad, waiting for some sort of announcement on how the hell this would be decided. Of course, the Composer was seen only by the Conductor, and that was only to ensure the running of the Game according to the Composer’s standards. A cell phone sitting in the middle of a table beeped, an order. She flicked open the phone, analyzing each line of text.
‘You must amass the highest total number of points in order to become the Conductor. Whether it is through the erasure of Players, or through winning other Reaper Sports. Your time limit is seven days.’
… Interesting. They were planning a normal Game this week as well, it seemed. But gaining points would be their main focus, and so, there would probably be an unusually high amount of erasures. It was likely, then, that there were more than two or three teams this week. The Reaper stood, brushing her light blonde hair out of her eyes before adjusting her square-rimmed glasses. Snapping the phone shut, she tossed it back onto the table. There would be much strategizing and planning to go with this…

Sho leaned against one of the walls, standing alone with his cap down to cover his eyes and his arms were crossed, trying to look as if he didn't want to talk to anyone because he was busy trying to figure out why they were supposed to come here and what was the requirements for this 'Game'.
The Conductor was the third in command of the whole operation, and was actually allowed to see the Composer, it wasn't as good as the Producer... But still... he could finally meet the Composer.
And then kill him.
But first he had to become the Conductor before he did anything else, he had to carefully put together this equation if he wanted to get this position and then get rid of the Composer permanently.
A wry smirk appeared on his face as he read the mail, flipping his cap up again; Sho put away the phone into his pants pocket.
This is gonna be zetta easy.
------------------------------------------
There was a cute but fake sounding chuckle as another Reaper read the mail, flipping it closed she glance at her partner.
"Well. Aren't you going to read it?"
He looked at her through half-lidded, crimson eyes before glancing around at the place.
"Not too often that us Harriers come up in the Pad, you should enjoy the view, 'zuki."
"Well you would see it more often if you just took that promotion."
"Yeah... but then I would have to work more."
"Well you're going to work your ass off when I'm Conductor, I'll make sure of that. Can't have my little helper getting off easy all the time~"
"Ugh..." he groaned, pulling the bean paste lollipop out of his mouth and looking at her. "Don't call me that, please."
"But you are my little helper, Kariya, and that means your going to help me earn points for this."
"That sounds so... tedious. And if I don't?" Uzuki tapped her foot, arms crossed as she stared at him.
"How about a bet?"
"I'm listening..."
"I bet thirty bowls of ramen I can't get to be the Conductor."
"Wait... that means..." Kariya got why she bet against herself and smirked, "You're sneaky, I'll give you that. Fine, it's a deal."
"Thanks~" she let out a little giggle again, "I knew you would understand."

Mitsuki took the small cellphone from the table and slipped it into her pocket, making small, calculated glances around the room. The only competition, or so the Reaper believed, were the officers of the Reapers. Harriers would be easily dealt with, being of lower rank and such.
She left the Pad without a word, entering the Shibuya River. It was quiet... her footsteps ringing in the empty tunnel. Of course she had ignored the other Reapers on her way out, although Minamimoto more than anyone else. He had his sights set on the Composer's position. And it was rumored that he had attempted to kill the Composer before. But it was just that, a rumor.
Along with the sound of her footsteps in the Shibuya River was the tiny clinking sound of the pins in Mitsuki's pocket. Her highest levelled Key Pin, Noise summoning pins, and a pin that looked similar to the Player Pins, but the skull was in black, while the background was red. A special pin, of course.
'... Another mail?' The Reaper flipped open her phone as it beeped again, probably an update or something.
'The Players have been given their first mission. They have fifteen minutes to form pacts and move to 104. The Game begins... Now.'

The gray-haired Reaper read the next mail and grinned widely. It was so easy to pick off the Players who didn't pair up yet, since this was the day in which most of them were picked off.
Pushing past everyone else; he began running down the Shibuya River before everyone else could pool out, seeing someone ahead of him he raised a brow, slowing down slightly, he could tell who it was.
"You're so zetta slow!" he taunted before running past her to Shibuya.
----------------------------
Uzuki opened her phone, staring at the screen before shutting it again.
"Okay, Kariya! Time to go!"
"C'mon, we got a whole week, we'll only be wasting our precious energy by starting up so fast."
"It's fifteen minutes. That couldn't even tire you out, could it?" she huffed, grabbing his arm and pulling him toward the exit just as Sho passed them.
"Good luck, Grim Heaper, I know you can do it!"
"Don't cheer for the competition! You're the one with thirty bowls of ramen at stake!"

MitsukI smirked as the Grim Heaper dashed by. "Of course I'm not... zetta slow." In that moment, she disappeared, deciding not to expend her energy by walking or even running to 104. It would be funny, looking at the expession on his face when she happened to appear at the same time he did. Shadows...

He didn't hear her as he continued running; finally making it to the Shibuya Crossing he chuckled, panting lightly from the run. It was worth it to him, though, since he had everyone else beat and could just summon random Noise and have them take out anyone who didn't have a Partner.
-------------------------------------
Kariya was grabbed by the arm suddenly as Uzuki did the same thing as Sho had; but she was dragging someone with her.
"Get your tiny wings moving already, Kariya!"
"Tiny?" Kariya looked back at his wings and then at hers, "That was uncalled for."
"Whatever! This is a once in a lifetime chance to get promoted that high and I'm NOT going to give it up."
"Well... we're dead. So it isn't a once in a lifeti-"
"Just shut up and run."
ooc: THAT'S OKAY! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO REPLIED TO ME WHEN I WAS GONE ;-; ILY!!! <3

With a smirk on her face, Mitsuki appeared from Sho's shadow. "Are you sure you're the first one here, Minamimoto?" In her hand were her Noise Summoning pins, Wolf, Grizzly, Rhino and Fox. Luckily for her, there were a couple Players who apparently, hadn't been smart enough to form a Pact. She sent a pair of Alterna Wolves after them. It wouldn't be too long before they wereerased.
"Let's play a game." the Reaper said coolly, closing her fist around her pins. "Reaper Sport Three. A Player Hunt~." At her side appeared a Dub Rhino and an Ambiefox. Mitsuki crossed her arms, waiting for the Grim Heaper's response.

Sho nearly started as she appeared behind him, having been too busy running to pay attention to the fact she had hitched a ride on his shadow.
"Looks like ya got me on that, Mits, but you're behind me, so I did get here first." he corrected, flipping his hat up as he sent a Brit Popguin along with a few J, and Electro ones to follow it.
"A game, huh?" Sho summoned Grindcore Minks and a Mosh Grizzly, "Fine, but you're goin' down!" To emphasize this point; he gave the Iron Maiden a big thumbs down.
------------------------
"Quick, Kariya!" Uzuki ordered, both of them having arrived a bit after Mitsuki and ho, "Summon some Noise!" her own Dixiefrogs began to appear.
"Wouldn't I get the points then?"
"....Just stand there then; you can help me later." she told him, summoning a couple of Metal Corehogs.

"Hmph." She snorted, flicking some hair from her face. The Noise standing beside her, the Dub Rhino and Ambiefox, turned quickly to see a pair of Players who had managed to form a Pact. Of course, they would be no challenge to the high-levelled Noise. Konishi sent them after the unfortunate Players. "My, my, Minamimoto. A little ambitious today, are we?" She glanced over to see the Alterna Wolves she had summoned earlier separating the two Players from before that hadn't formed their Pact and circling them, ready to attack. "But every game must have it's rules, hm? Whomever erases the most Players by..." Mitsuki paused a moment, "By tomorrow is our big winner." Her voice had a slight hint of sarcasm to it. This was going to be overkill, but...
From her pocket she retreived another Summoning Pin, Woolly. She quickly summoned a Woolly AOR. The Noise was a massive pale purple elephant, darker purple tattoos for back legs, and the purple tattoos on its ears and neck. The trunk was a scarlet red tatoo, ending in what was remniscent of a hammer of sorts. The Noise's bright green eyes were focused on Sho.
As Mitsuki turned, she caught a glance of the Harrier Reapers who had just arrived. "So it seems we're not the only ones here." She said coolly.

Sho did the same as she did with the Noise next to him, although they were going after any Player they could, since it didn't really matter to him. "Hell yeah, I am! This is one of the simplest equations the Composer could have given me! There's only a few more digits I need to simplify before that's possible."
He listened to her rules with a grin, "By tomorrow? And you say I'm ambitious! You got yourself a deal, Mits!" he agreed, using one of his pins to summon a Fusion Shark. The tan, eyeless Noise was hidden beneath the concrete, only the blue, tattoo, shark fin protruded out of the ground, which he used to lean on it.
"Yeah, we ain't," he agreed, looking over at the other two before pulling out his megaphone and pointing it at them, "You two yoctograms don't stand a chance!"
-------------------------------
Uzuki nearly jumped as she heard the sound from the megaphone, turning around to look at the two, not knowing that Kariya was already looking she stood up straight since they were higher officers, although she certainly didn't respect Sho in the least.
"'Yoctogram'? He's always babbling nonsense..." she humphed, summoning a few Garage Wolves to go around with the frogs, looking a Kariya as he chuckled.
"You tell me not to cheer them on and you're practically groveling to the Iron Maiden?"
"Excuse me? I am not!" she huffed indignantly.
"And calling us yoctograms? Ouch, that hurt."
"You understand what he's saying?"
"I understand that your Noise needs back up."
"Shit!" she swore, turning her attention back to the Players around them.

Mitsuki's eyes narrowed in agaitation at Sho's use of the megaphone. "Might as well take care of that for you, hm?" she hissed. The Woolly AOR promptly wrapped its tattooed trunk around the cone of the megaphone and lifted it out of Sho's hands. The Noise constricted its tattoo around the peice of equipment, shattering it, then throwing the broken peices at a Player. She smirked, "Anyway. You had better get to erasing, hm? It seems as if I've already gotten some points~."
The pair of Alterna Wolves she had summoned before came sauntering back, still snarling from the easy fight they had had against the Pact-less Players. "Hm~." The other pair of Noise wandered back over, hurting fom their battle, although they had been victorious. Without even looking at them, Mistuki erased them, the Ambiefox squealing and the Dub Rhino roaring as they disappered into a staticy fuzz.

The grey-haired Reaper didn't know what she meant by that until he felt the megaphone be pulled out of his hands, seeing the shattered pieces go flying before he could protest. Damn those elephants and their dexterous noses. He was about to retaliate by having his shark Noise rip off the bottom of her dress, or something to that effect, but he looked down as the Brit Popguin came over, offering him a small salute with his group of other penguins following, a few had Player pins in their mouths. The others he had summoned were still chasing after Players, adding a few Electro and J Popguins to the group, he offered a, less than mature, salute to the leader who returned the gesture once more and slid off to get more Players. He didn't erase any of his, deciding that if they got erased themselves, let them go ahead and do it.
"You wanna get personal, Mits-" he began, turning to her, "Then this is personal!" Sho said, not liking how she had broken his megaphone. Now he would have to get a new one because of her.
--------------------------------
"There's no way we can win, they have much better Noise."
"Thanks for the reminder, Kariya, but that kind of attitude is not going to help at all."
"You just need better pins."
"I could have better pins if you took the damn offer to be promoted!"
"How so?"
"I would make you give them to me,"
"Damn."
"Who knows; maybe you were supposed to be promoted to Conductor~"
"... That would be horrible. Do you know how much work that would mean?" Uzuki rolled her eyes ad summoned a few more Noise to go after some Players, even though they had already formed a pact.

She smirked again. "Better get moving, hm?" Flicking her hair out of her eyes, she stepped back and closer to her powerful Noise. The Alterna Wolves sat at her side, awaiting her next order. Of course, any way to hinder Sho's progress would be... well, useful. SHe glanced down the the yellow Noise, which took off in a blur towards Sho's Popguins. Hopefuly they'd be able to outrun the Fusion Shark, or somehow cause the Noise to erase its allies. The Woolly AOR watched the Grim Heaper cautiously.

The Brit Popguin was taken down by one of the Alterna wolves, and the other Popguins froze. The Electro Popguins slid over on their bellies to aid their leader, while the J Popguins stood, confused as to what to do. The Fusion Shark took off as soon as Sho stopped leaning on it, going to attack the wolf on top of the leader of the Popguins. There was a ripple underneath the group of Popguins (plus an Alterna Wolf) and the eyeless shark came out of the ground, erasing all of them in one bite. Leaving a bunch of confused J Popguins. Sho summoned some more of the Electro ones, along with a replacement Brit.
"Never thought you would stoop so low to take out someone else's Noise, Mits," he said, looking her over carefully as the shark returned to his side, leaving the Popguins to fight the Wolf.
------------------------------
"C'mon, 'zuki, we've been out here long enough."
"We're not leaving until the mission is over, Kariya."
"Almost all the Players are gone, though, and those two are getting rid of any who haven't already made it," he said, jerking a thumb over his shoulder at the two higher-level Reapers.
"They aren't partners with each other, though, so they probably aren't as productive as us."
"I'm tellin' them you said that~"
"No, don't! I didn't mean it!" she flushed, not wanting to be thought as a disrespectful Harrier, Kariya just chuckled at her.

"... Why couldn't I, Minamimoto? It works in the same effect as Taboo Noise, no? Attacking Players and Reapers alike as they wish. Besides. If I'm going to earn the most points, why let the competition gain any points at all?" she said icily, "I would've thought that 'factoring' mind of yours would've figured it out already." She brushed some hair out of her face before continuing, "I doubt you've realized by now that there haven't been any rules issued, hm? Why else would they give these out?" She procured the oddly colored Player Pin, giving Sho a glimpse before dropping it back into her pocket. "They're expecting a show, hm? If this was so straightforward, wouldn't the Compser have just chosen the new Conductor himself, instead of all of this?"
Mitsuki shook her head, blonde hair again falling into her eyes before being pushed out of the view of her glasses. She glanced over her shoulder, only in time to see the Harriers bickering amongst themselves. The phone in Mitsuki's pocket buzzed again, after the long pause between the second order to now. She quickly retreived it, flicking it open.
'... You are on your own now. I will no longer be telling you the missions of the Players as of now. You must find and erase them yourselves. Again, whomever accumulates the highest amount of point will be the new Condutor. Erasing Players and Reaper Sports are the only two ways of gaining points.'
