Well, look at that~ Now I have a solid excuse to slack off as much as I want.

What's this I hear about the reset button being hit again?

Makes me wonder if the dear Queen's trying to keep certain things under control or something.

[If you're passing by the ramen shop this afternoon, you'll catch sight of a Reaper lounging at one of the outside tables and occasionally scribbling down some numbers on a notepad. Clearly, the fact he actually looks somewhat busy for once is a cue to bother him!]

Oh, that'll go over well.

She finally just gets done yelling at me for ditching her, and then poof~ Back on sunny shores.

Man, some of you seriously need to chill out. Getting all emotional's not going to solve a thing~ Likely cause some property damage, though.

Anyway, who wants a free soda? You don't even have to order anything to get it~



((His brand of humor? Prankster. Your misfortune amuses him like nothing else~ Therefore, every soda in the two full ice chests he has with him out in front of the ramen shop has been shaken. Open one, and you'll get a spray of soda in your face~))

Seems we have a sudden supply of fresh blood around here. If any of you need jobs to pay rent or whatever, making ramen's not that hard.

In other news, since I already dealt with the Noise pins, feel free to keep the ones I gave you during that whole mess. Knowing this place, you might need 'em again.

Hey--if you don't have weapons, magic, or any pins, you're all going to need them unless you wanna get erased!

I've got all the ones that hadn't been found yet, so just say the word and I'll hook you up with a deck of pins.

Joshua!

There's your Noise, but who cares about the small fry right now. I have two words for you: Leo Cantus.

This makes me think of an Easter egg hunt.

It's not the same as harrying some hapless players, but it'll do.

Now that things have settled down, who wants to help me test something?

Most living people can't use pins for anything except Tin Pin, but I've already seen an exception or two. Now you've got me wondering if all of you can.

It's not like I have a promotion to shoot for, but I need work to do. Do me a favor and stop by for a bowl of ramen? I'll even give you a discount if I have to--I'm stinkin' bored.

Man, I really don't know how Uzuki lives like this.



((Got the partner's work ethic~))

Not that anyone should need motivation to get rid of those damned plants, but how about a game?

You'll get more of an explanation if you decide you want in. Winner gets a free bowl of ramen. Any takers?

That was an interesting welcome, I'll give you that much. All the greenery around here usually try to bite your head off?

And I thought Uzuki was bad about that~
