Everything's finished and everything should have been picked up by now...oh

Captives to the other force?

[so_shik]

Hmm...so really, everybody's fighting against the wrong force.

...[she murmurs a little then] Almost like the reapers and the Composer.

[ action ]

[so_shik]

Yeah. The Reapers were the ones stopping us and giving us orders for the game, but the Composer was the one who was behind it all.

[ action ]

[so_shik]

Not...exactly. Some of the lower-ranked reapers don't deal with the Composer directly but some of the higher ones, like the Conductor or the Game Master deal with direct orders from the Composer. The Composer creates the entire game though and sets the rules even for the reapers.

A game to win a second chance at life.

First of all, you die. Then you pay an entry fee to get into the game. Then you have to go through a week of challenges. The Game basically gives you clues, usually sent to our phones, and we had to solve the riddle and finish the challenge before time ran out. If at least one set of partners completed it, everybody was saved. But if nobody did, we all lost and that was the end of it, we were dead forever. We couldn't be separated from our partners and we had to fight a lot with the psych pins to protect ourselves.
