Hey, guys, I found a picture in one of the - uh, classrooms. What's left of a classroom.

Dunno if it's really interesting or not, but... Hey, but it survived whatever burned the room up! Maybe it's flame-proof photography! [haha]

So is everyone else done looking at the nasty dead animal parts yet?

Almost done, still trying to come up with a hypothesis. And I can't find the source of the gas leak, damnit.

What's the picture of?

|∅|, is it? [...]

Speaking of which, I wonder what the other team's been up to. They've been pretty quiet, haven't they?

The absolute value of an empty set. Absolutely nothing. My math references are wasted.

... Hmm. They have been. Zetta unusual.

[panofbread]

No, I pretty much got what you meant. Just dunno why you can't just say it with words.

Man... the other group's probably the one having all the adventures...

[whatthefactor]

Oh, good. Why should I say it normally?

Probably ... I would have been at a zetta big disadvantage with my chip, but damn, I was ready for some excitement and looking at decaying animal matter isn't zetta exciting.

Because... not everyone is as smart as I am, and they might not be able to figure it out! Plus it's really sorta random.

Yup. Uh-huh. It's the same with me. With the chip, too. I thought this would be a great chance to prove myself since everything thinks I'm going to like drop dead the second there's any trouble...

All this has been so far is boring and sorta gross.

Mathematics is not random!!

Even if you were going to drop dead the second trouble appeared, you'd come back to life the next day. I don't see the zetta big deal about dying... However, try obtaining a weapon?

Not to mention a waste of time.

Using math symbols instead of normal words is random!

And yeah... I've heard death doesn't count for much here. That's convenient, you don't even have to do anything before getting brought back to life... But still! It's like, come on, guys! Have some faith in me! [hmph] I don't need a weapon, anyway.

A total let down.

[whatthefactor]

... Hmph.

It's zetta cheap! Where I'm from, those radians have to survive a week before there was even a possibility of coming back 2 life... or in my case, knowing the right techniques. It was a zetta suggestion? I don't zetta know your fighting style.

No joke. I would have been better off starving in Discedo.

Where I come from, you have to go on a quest and then make a wish before you can bring someone back to life. And it only works once per person. It's kinda nice they take the effort out here, I guess...

And for your information, I'm a highly skilled martial artist. I don't need a special weapon because my very body is a weapon!

If they were gonna pick us specifically, they coulda at least let us do something cool.

You had to play the Reapers' Game back in Shibuya. As a Reaper, it's zetta cheap that they took all the effort out.

I see. I'm not much of a brawler.

... I actually think our names were chosen at random.

[panofbread]

What's a Reaper's Game?

Random, huh? Yeah... that's probably true, considering... But it still would have been nice if we were picked because we were special!
