Kenpachi was snickering at the thought of kicking the a pig until it squealed to defeat it, when they came upon a rather unfamiliar but somewhat mysterious-looking figure. "We can kick it," he assured Yachiru, as he eyed the stranger. "I think there's food. Let's go lookin' fer some after we talk ta this guy? Thinkin' somethin' might be up wi' him. He stands out, an' we need ta find things tha' stand out."

He nodded at Yachiru. "Yeah. I don't get it."

Looking at the Reaper, Kenpachi tilted his head. "Ya got anythin' ta do wi' this?"

Yachiru felt Kenpachi stop walking, and slowly peeked up over his shoulder to see the mysterious figure. She glanced from him to Kenchan, blinking in the sudden quiet, before speaking. "There better be food is all I'm sayin', a person can get hungry playin' some silly game."

She heard Kenpachi speak to the thing, pushing herself up higher. "Yeah, ya got anythin' ta do with this?"

She figured Kenchan knew she'd back him up, but showing it was good too.

"You want to pass through the wall?" The Reaper snapped. No, he wasn't in such a good mood today. "Then defeat 2 Noise groups. Then I'll let you pass."

Gojyo was glad Ginia hadn't reacted, at least overtly, to him calling her beautiful. He knew he was an idiot, it would be nice if it wasn't so obvious all of the time. Concerned, he considered the question. "The message said Noise, single, not noises. I think we just have to take out one."

Seeing the person Ginia pointed to, Gojyo approached the black-hooded and winged man. He had to have something to do with this. "Hey, man, what's your part in this shit?"

Ginia walked over with him, eying the stranger suspicious while drawing her gun out and observing the area. The last thing they needed was anything else sneaking up on them while they were distracted.

[straysounds]

And... Well, maybe they saw it coming. The black-hooded man started to talk in a rather host-like tone, as if they were in some TV game show.

"Like a bolt from the blue, here comes the Reaper Review! Aaaand away we go! So, what do you know from the Reaper's Game?

Question 1! What are we, the staff of this missions, called?
Question 2! What kind of item was stolen from you?
Question 3! How many minutes do you need to complete the mission yesterday?"

It didn't take long for Joshua to wake up. The sensation was almost familiar to him, like during the week he was an illegal Player. Still not receiving the mission, he took the time to observe his surroundings... Hm, there was that church in the distance. Knowing how big Adstringendum was, he had a feeling only portions of the areas were accesible, depending by day. It was still a theory to test, though.

...Speaking of theories, Joshua thought of another one as he drew out his cellphone. What if he could actually call Sanae -

"...Tch." Nope, didn't work.

At the same time, he heard his cellphone beep. Must be the mission. Right after reading the message, a burning sensation prickled in his right hand. Joshua didn't even look at it - it must be the timer. He then kneeled down as his sleeping partner and poked his cheek.

"Wake up now, sleepyhead." He cooed.

The burning on his palm had awoke Neku just before Joshua's attempt, but the poke to his cheek only served to annoy him. He pushed himself up from the ground, rubbing his cheek with the back of his wrist. "I was already awake, you know."

03

[shio_is_god]

"Oh really now~" Joshua teased, twirling a lock of his hair. "The mission requires you to defeat Pig Noise. I suppose you already know how?"

04.

[shibuyaproxy]

Neku sighed, irritated already. It sure didn't take long around Joshua. "Pig Noise, huh. Different ones take different things. Guess we just have to figure it out."

Ginia opened her eyes, once more feeling cold concrete against her cheek and hands. Pushing herself back off the ground, it took her a moment to gather her bearings. The fountain this definitely was not. But how did she get from there to... she paused and pulled her PCD out to check the location. The Northeast quarter? She certainly didn't remember traveling from one location to the other nor did she remember anyone taking her there.

The fact it was already the 23rd didn't make things any easier. Had she really slept the rest of the day way in the middle of the street? That fact made her a little more than uneasy.

The PCD beeped indicating there was a new message and she quickly opened it up.

"Defeat the Pig Noise. You have 100 minutes.

Fail, and face erasure.

--- The Reapers"

Wincing again at the surge of pain snapping through her hand, she glanced down at the timer printed onto her skin. This was beginning to get a little more than irritating.

On the ground again? "What the hell? I didn't even get to go drinking. I hate waking up like this..." He pushed himsef off and made sure he hadn't drooled either. That would be pathetic. How did he even fall asleep?

Oh great. There was that beep again. And sure enough, as soon as he read the message, his hand got the timer burned into it. "Some sick bastard is fucking messed up," Gojyo muttered. "How the hell do you even defeat a pig noise? Wear earplugs? This is fucked up."

Annoyed, he peered over Ginia's shoulder at her hand, forgetting for just a moment that she didn't know him. Just barely in time Gojyo stopped himself from taking her hand to kiss it. Instead, he rested the hand he'd been moving on her arm. "We should get moving. We need to find the noise before we can defeat it."

Ginia turned around to look at Gojyo, scrutinizing him carefully and admittedly relieved he was still around. The information she had learned from... whoever the silver-haired boy had been was helpful even if he had been somewhat irritating and a tad stressful.

She hated being in a game for someone else's amusement, moreso when it was against her will and losing something was a part of the rules. Rules there were still unknown.

A hand came up to touch Gojyo's cheek and she studied him more intently, trying to find something about him that seemed even familiar. Even if he hadn't said it, there were blanks she could figure out for herself. He liked her. Still did. She had a feeling it went a little further than simply liking, but she wasn't in the mood to play games. If he had been someone important to her, enough that he could be completely erased from her memory...

She stepped forward and leaned up to kiss him. She doubted anything would happen, but some sort of recognition, a sign, anything, would have been helpful.

Gojyo shrugged, feeling a little awkward under the scrutiny. He didn't know what this Ginia thought of him, and he was painfully aware of his eyes and hair. He started as her hand touched his cheek. There was no way to know or be prepared for anything, at this point. He decided to stay still and hope she didn't ask about the scars.

That decision flew out the window when she kissed him. Gojyo wrapped his arms around her, kissing her back, wondering if this was going to screw up everything. At least he could hope that something would be reawakened. Beyond the obvious.

After a moment Gojyo pulled away, searching her face for anything.

Kenpachi sat up, looking around. He couldn't remember falling asleep, but this wasn't the first time he'd slept on the ground. This was reminding him more and more of Rukongai. Except for the missions. Those didn't fit. Or the stinging timer.

"Not like this place ever made sense ta begin with," he muttered as he pulled out the beeping PCD. He frowned at the message as his hand got the painful timer. "Defeat a pig noise? Huh?"

Spotting Yachiru, Kenpachi got up and headed over to her. "Oi. Ya ready ta go huntin' fer some sort o' pig? Guess we gotta make it squeal 'r somethin'. I'm sure it ain't gonna be any sort o' trouble. Wha' could a pig do?"

[pinkdeathgod]

Yachiru had been napping, a worthy past time when one wasn't sure where they were in her opinion. She jerked awake a Kenpachi approached, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes with one fist while she began to climb up to her designated shoulder spot.

"Can we kick it? I'd squeal if someone kicked me." She giggled, opening and closing her mouth a few times before looking around. "I'm hungry, d' we got food in this place?"

Her PCD was beeping, so she pulled it out to glance at it, reading the message aloud. It seemed to be the same one Kenchan had. "This place is still weird."
