"I'll be rooting for you," the boy laughed. He held up a hand, walking off. He vanished into the crowd.

Kariya stared at their enemy a moment more, before slowly nodding and turning away. "Yeah. The 104 building is this way." Whoever the hell that kid was--and Kariya had some theories, mostly involving other UGs--the Reaper was sure that, assuming they survived the week, they'd be seeing him again.
((Kariya's been around for a while, so I like to think that he knows that there might be something beyond Composer, and/or he heard Reaper myths about it, but the Reapers don't actually know there's a Higher Plane full of feathery-winged guys watching their every move. ^-^))

"You know how to get there, baby." Thrax let Kariya go ahead of him, he put his sunglasses on again. He was happy to be finally rid of that brat, he saw some policemen and he stiffened, but then he remembered that they couldn't see him, so he relaxed. "Damn, cops..." It was their fault he was stuck here, his chain taken by some spineless punk.

Kariya glanced back at him, curious. "What you got against the police?" This guy was shady as hell, but somehow, he hadn't actually expected for him to be a real criminal. "And on that note, 'cause I'm just dying of curiosity over here--what's with the skin and claws?" He doesn't even look human, Kariya noted, not for the first time.

"They're the reason I'm in this mess, I burnt down a hospital and they caught me. They thought my claws were weapons so they told me to put them down. Damn cops wouldn't listen to me when I told them I couldn't, so they shot me down." He wished he had been able to take down that bastard that had the megaphone, he was the most annoying. "Well I was born with them, baby, if you couldn't tell, I ain't a human."

Kariya stopped walking. "You burnt down a hospital?" He struggled for the right words for a moment, unsure of what to say to that. "Well... damn. Why? You sure don't look very human to me, so mind if I ask what the hell you are?" He stepped back to get a better look at Thrax, gaze sweeping up and down the EMR virus, critical and appraising.
((No clue what Kariya would say to that, so I did my best.))

((Why, everyone should know how every character reacts to someone burning down a hospital, it's in the RP rules!)) "Well I'm an EMR virus, and it's impossible for me to infect anyone at this size, so I thought I'd kill a few people who were already sick. There may be a few extras, but that's alright, it was still hella fun." It was great burning down that hospital, but it wasn't worth his life.

Kariya was silent for a few long moments, taking this in and steeling his composure. It took every ounce of the Reaper's self-control to keep a mask of calm interest, but there was no way he could go against his partner. If one of them was taken out, the other would be smoke in mere minutes; it was how the Game worked. "Aight," he finally replied, dipping his head slightly, eyes hidden behind the reflection of his glasses. Kariya started walking again. "Sure. I'll go with it. So, what's an EMR Virus? 'Virus' like 'germ'?"
Ooc;// Erm! -shot'd-

((U SAID ERM AGAIN DX)) Thrax followed him, "Just to tell you, baby, viruses are much different than germs, but I suppose if that's how you relate it, then yes. An EMR Virus is a type of virus that goes for the hypathalamus, that controls the heat for the entire body, I just go in there and do my stuff, and once they reach 108 degrees, they're dead. I usually fake the symptoms of a cold to get the immunities off my back." He didn't have much to hide, seeing that he was already dead.

"...Right," Kariya replied, shaking his head slightly; in amusement or distress or skepticism, he himself couldn't fully tell. "If you're a virus, how 'come you're not, you know, microscopic? Hey, look, this is 104 here." He stopped in front of a tall cylindrical building with a massive television screen mounted across the front. There was a soft noise, and feeling returned to the part of his palm where the ticking timer had been engraved; the numbers had vanished. "Mission cleared."

"I wish I knew, this sucks. It was so much simpler to kill humans from the inside, now everybody makes a big deal out of it." He looked at his hand, those numbers were gone, at least they had finished off today's work. "So do I get anything out of this besides my chain?" The point of this game was still unclear to him, there had to be a catch.

"Well, if you win," drawled Kariya, seeming a bit more comfortable with this subject; back in his element. "If you win, you come back to life. Pretty sweet deal, right? Problem is, the Players are just one team in the Game. There are 'Reapers' going against us; people with black wings and control over Noise. It's their job to pick off Players--weed out those unworthy of winning, so to speak. At the end of the week, assuming we live that long, we'll face off against the Reaper in charge of issuing missions. If we kill him, we win the Game."

"Back to life, huh? That's definitely worth it, even if it means being parted from my chain for a while." That cop with the megaphone would pay, he remembered his face. A wicked smile formed across his face, Thrax couldn't wait to see the look of terror when he came back to kill him. "You seem to know a lot about this, baby, have you done this before?" It didn't seem possible, according to what Kariya said about what happens when you lose. Unless he got out and died again, which would suck for him.

"Honestly? Yeah, I have." Kariya smirked. "I got in a bit of trouble out in the RG--Realground, real world--though, so here I am. Again." He shrugged and leaned casually against the pole of a streetlight, twirling his lollipop absently and watching the candy spin. "Anyway, the day should be ending soon. We'll blank out, wake up somewhere else, and deal with the next mission. Piece of cake."

"Damn, that sucks." Kariya must have actually made it out, only to die again. "Hold up, we blank out? How the hell does that happen?" Thrax wondered if they were going to knock them out with gas or something, he didn't really like the idea of being unconscious again, they might try to mug him again.
