I've been thinking about puzzles lately. They can be good team building activities! So here's one to work on;

[PS: If you feel like your character would be able to solve this but you personally cannot or will not do math, you can dm me or hit me on discord for a hint/the answer! Otherwise please just bully Fukuda for this horseshit.]

Cyberbullying.

[social anxiety seems like a proper punishment for the choices he's made here.]

[holeful]

I don't follow your logic. I'm not bullying anyone?

[But he worked hard on this puzzle!!!]

[deadtective]

[denied]

There's literally people having fucking mental breakdowns right here in this post. Making strangers cry is like, textbook bullying. Aren't you even a little fucking ashamed?

[holeful]

I meam if it's upsetting to them it's not like people have to do it?

[deadtective]

And get thrown off the team? That's fucking devastating in a place like this.





Besides, I'm pretty sure math burns on contact.

[holeful]

The team building activity isn't mandatory! I just thought it might be fun? I don't have the authority to kick anyone off the team. I mean, I'm not even charge of my own team let alone the othere three...

[deadtective]

Are you having fun yet?

[holeful]

Well making the puzzle was the fun part for me! But there are a few people working to try and solve it and that makes me happy at least.

[deadtective]

I'm going to make the executive decision to boot you from the team for that answer. No one should be happy about fucking extracurricular math.

[holeful]

No offense but I think you're overreacting a little and also I'm pretty sure only Mr Enma could kick me off the team?

[deadtective]

[spoken truly like a man who never suffered through pre-calculus. that final is the second worst memory she has right underneath literally dying!!!!]

Oh, you're Enma? I take it back then, this seems like the kind of thing you nerds would go fucking nuts for. But why post it to the general network?

[holeful]

[Oh he definitely suffered through it.]

To encourage people to work together! Even if we're in different factions, we're supposed to all try to bring everyone together, right?

[deadtective]

[clearly not enough!!!]

Actually I think we're supposed to tear each other apart for cash.

[holeful]

[HE DRILLED A HOLE IN HIS HEAD HOW MUCH MORE SUFFERING DO YOU NEED.]

Well I don't want to do that.

Also I'm pretty sure Mr Enma wants everyone to get along.

[deadtective]

[she thinks about telling this obvious newbie that the Daitengu had essentially accused the Enma of putting the hit out on them at their own funeral. she really does. it's on brand for her as a shit-eating killjoy but it's also important that the fresh people filtering into the city understand what sort of world they're navigating now. you can't stay safe if you're expecting your leader to sit down at a kumbaya circle after his shift's over.

but...her fingers still on the keys. there's something very innocent about whoever this person is, bordering on childlike. she can just imagine their dumb nerdy ass sitting behind the screen, adjusting their six inch thick glasses with sincere joy over how many shining academic minds they're connecting with their post.

fuck her, she just can't do it. it's like kicking a toddler's ice cream into a mud puddle.]

I mean, I guess you've united everyone in talking about what total bullshit this post has been so far. That's...something, if you want it to be.

[holeful]

[I'm crying I can't wait for her to find out he's a 33 year old 6'2" serial murderer.]

Haha, well, some people are actually trying to solve it! And other people have given me suggestions on how to improve for next time. I think, even if maybe this approach didn't work as I intended, I'm still glad I did it.

Maybe next time if I include less math, even someone like you will participate. The rest of the city aside, all of us Lost Souls are in this together, right?

[deadtective]

[the real cruelty in all this is that he's over a foot taller than her tbqh]

You want an even bigger turnout for next time, offer a cash prize to the person who solves it first. Money's the best fucking motivator in any goddamn world.

Keep hearing people talk about how we're all in this together, though I guess this is a step up from the 'what's your favorite color?' icebreaker flavor. You really think a bunch of fucking strangers are gonna band together just because they're in hell, though?

[holeful]

[He also has an absurdly deep voice. He is babey though. Just a little bit.]

I mean I guess that's true but I don't really have enough money for that sort of thing lying around?

I don't really know that much about other people but I guess I personally would like it if everyone could be on the same page. I certainly don't want to get involved in a turf war. That sounds hard and unpleasant.

[deadtective]

[he's definitely the baby in this matchup that's for sure!!]

Guess you've got a goal to start working towards, huh?

It's not so much hard as like...really fucking annoying and stupid. Like, I should probably be putting stink bombs in Shuten members' underwear or some shit right now instead of dicking around on the internet, but what's the point?

[holeful]

[Fukuda: I'm just a baby
the police: Ok but you have to stop killing people
Fukuda: I'M JUST A BABY!!!!!!!!!!]

Exactly. As a representative of the Enma, I have to ask you to please not do that and continue spending time on the internet instead.

[deadtective]

But now I kind of want to, dude.

[DON'T TELL HER WHAT TO DO!!!!! even if it's 100% what she actually wants to do naturally. spite's powerful.]

[holeful]

No, Then I'd have to arrest you! I'm not very good at it yet so I'd rather not.

[deadtective]

So you're saying I could handcuff you to a lamppost with your own shit? That's nnnot exactly a great fucking argument against it.

[holeful]

I didn't say that at all. It's just hard to know the right words to say. Also I can't figure out how to get around the fact that the Shuten guys are stronger than me without resorting to violence.

[deadtective]

[sorry but she's definitely getting 'bullyable' out of all this.]

What's the matter with violence? They're oni. You'll probably look like fucking supercop to them if you bend one into a pretzel.
