[she nods.]

From the sound of it... the game this one was based on was unique enough for people to understand even a vague reference to it. Here...

[she'll pull up the text on her phone and offer it to him.]

ATTN: ████████

Prepping for new Game. You will each need to volunteer one of your best Reapers temporarily for it. Up to you to decide who fits criteria of 'best.' Cannot give much info on setup, but it is based on that one Game from a few years back. You know the one. Comply with instructions ASAP.

Signed,

[okay, well, he has one immediate thought which is]

It's kinda messed up that a couple of teenagers were included under 'best Reapers'. Not that I think they aren't good at their jobs, don't get me wrong, but who else do they even have working for them then?

[dendroculi]

...I'm not sure. Personally, I would love to see a list of qualifications for this job.

[abstractart]

One of them is 'winning a game', apparently.

[dendroculi]

Umm...

Well, I guess if not every Game is going to be like this one...

[abstractart]

They said it can be an option, if you win but don't want to return to life. I guess depending on how it is... I can understand some people taking it.

[dendroculi]

[she desperately wants to be alive again, so it's hard to relate]

I suppose, depending on the circumstances...

[abstractart]

I probably would've gone for it, at one point. Just not anymore.

...not sure about any other qualifications, exactly, but they all said they knew what they were getting into when they took the job.

[dendroculi]

As long as they made an informed decision, that's fine, but... I do think their bosses put them in an unenviable position by putting them in charge of us.

[abstractart]

Just because they have to deal with us, you mean?

[dendroculi]

Because they have to deal with us - or anyone, I suppose... in a Game of this type.

They're the only contacts we have, and we're bound to keep asking them questions they can't necessarily answer, over and over. It must be hard.

[abstractart]

... yeah. Definitely don't envy them that part, especially on the weekends.

I don't really know what's useful to ask, anyway, so... I've just been talking to them about other stuff.

[dendroculi]

Are you making friends with them, do you think?

[abstractart]

I don't know if they'd think so...? They don't tell me to leave them alone, though.

[dendroculi]

That's a good sign, at least.
