[Neku's been puzzling over his most recent pulse for the past few weeks, and he still hasn't been able to figure it out. He wasn't planning on sharing it, but since it seems to be helping some people...]

Ok, so I know this is a long shot, but since some people have been having similar Pulses or whatever I thought it was worth a try. Anyone know anything about something called the Reaper's Game?

That anything like a game of Darkness where the loser dies or gets their soul taken?

[Text]

[needsmorezippers]

Yes and no? Don't remember anything about darkness, and you start off dead but if you lose I think you're dead for good.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Might be something different since I'm pretty sure everyone involved in the ones I remember was alive at the start.


With a possible exception.

I was about to say something about that seeming strange before I remembered the context of this conversation.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Strange takes on a whole new meaning here, huh?

It's kinda weird. There are a bunch of people that have small things in common with stuff I'm remembering, but nothing that lines up 100%. You'd think they'd either all be the same or all be totally different, not this 80% but not quite thing.

[Text]

[needsmorezippers]

No kidding.

You'd think, but nothing about this is what we'd think.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Yeah, true enough.

Or heck, it could all be the same thing we're remembering but since we don't remember it all, we're just getting different sections. One could be getting first edition rules while another gets 4th edition.

[Neku is ashamed that he kind of knows what he's getting at, even though he's never played D&D.]

Maybe. Or it could all be different and we're suffering from no more original ideas. Who knows.

[[never be ashamed to be a nerd. Bakura sure as heck never is!]]

What, remake syndrome? From this?

[HE IS NOT A NERD DAMNIT just not nearly as cool as he thinks he is]

Who knows. Maybe.

[shiromadoushi]

Some how I don't think that works with memories....

[Text]

[needsmorezippers]

I don't either, but has anything here worked how we thought it would?

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

I think this is a bit different.

And yeah, once you figure out how it's all batshit, it's kinda predictable. Certain things give you certain results. It's just figure out what the hell the rules are that's hard.

[Text]

[needsmorezippers]

My guess is the rules are gonna change.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Why?

[Text]

[needsmorezippers]

People have been changing, right? Powers, body, whatever. How long is it going to take for their personalities to change? Or if they start flat out forgetting the memories they have now? Or the police actually find us out?

There are way too many ways for it to happen.

[shiromadoushi]

[[There's a bit of a pause before the reply comes since this kinda... hits a bit home for some of the issues he's been having.]]

That's not the rules changing. That's the game progressing to harder levels.

Different thing entirely.

[Text]

[needsmorezippers]

If you say so.
