[ Fortunately, the technology is advanced enough in this game that it does work rather like the Sim room, although in the back of his mind, Ryoji also realizes they could just, like, quit and start the game over and not have dealt with the Reaper at all.

...But that's quitter talk, and they are serious gamers. ]

Ready!! Three, two, one — fire!

[ And he fires a blast of the gun right at the Reaper's head. It's a hit! ]

[eyescar]

[ This is, in fact, the most serious of gaming.

Yuji leaps over their little barricade as soon as he's sure Ryoji is ready, summoning his strength and pusing forward, aiming up to give a solid right hook to the Grim Reaper, right to the head.

Critical hit, for sure, right? ]

Yeah!

[memors]

[ Critical hit!! And as Yuji's punch lands, so too does Ryoji's shot, a neat technical follow-up, which sends the formidable foe tumbling to the ground, stunned.

Which means— ]

— It's time for an all out attack!

[ Jumping over the barricade, Ryoji joins Yuji at the Reaper's side so they can just. Absolutely whale on this guy. ]

[eyescar]

You got it!

[ If there's one thing that Yuji can do, it's punch, so he just goes for it - absolutely does all he can to pummel this thing, just like he did that grasshopper curse in Shibuya.

It might be a little overkill. ]

Woah! We really did it?

[memors]

[ It may be overkill, but it's definitely satisfying — Ryoji has never much liked this guy, anyway...

When the dust settles, the Reaper disappears, leaving a pile of loot behind, some coins and a handful of tarot cards. Ryoji stoops to pick up the cards, sorting through them and examining their sides. ]

We really did! We make quite the team, don't we?

[eyescar]

[ Yuji goes right to the coins, turning them this way and that before he starts to gather them up and trying to find somewhere to shove them all. Pockets? Ryoji's pockets? Do they have a bag?

This is harder than he thought it would be. ]

Yeah! That guy never stood a chance.
