Mr. H's Rejected Pin Designs
Contrary to popular belief, Sanae was not perfect. He had his share of failures. As the official pin designer, Sanae was usually the one who made all the pins for the Players in the Game. While his work was one of the finest in the world (this world and the other parallel universes), there were some times where the Composer had to recall some of it. Sanae's pins were stylish and meant to be helpful but some were ridiculous or backfired. Unfortunately, these pins' victims were the Players. Both Sanae and Joshua had a field day of recalling some dangerous pins.
1. The Life is Good Pin
It was a Sheep Heavenly pin with a decal of a halo and a pair of wings on a blue background. Neku could care less about the "new pin." Who cares if it could bring inanimate objects to life? Sure, moving traffic cones and road blocks attacking the Noise were amusing the first few times but after….eh, not so much. Neku tossed the pin into his bag. However, Shiki loved it and fastened the pin to her Mr. Mew plushie.
The duo stopped for the day in A-East. Unbeknownst to Neku and Shiki, Mr. Mew had a mind of his own.
It was too easy for him to wander off and use the pin to bring a Petit Lapin from Lapin Angelique to life. Then, in their stuffed animal speak, they raised their cloth paws.
"Together! We shall take over the world!"
The two nodded in response and headed for their first victim. Neku Sakuraba.
…
Neku was traumatized and would not speak a word for days. He flinched and whimpered a little every time his eyes landed on Mr. Mew. He covered the back of his head with two guarded hands. He did not need to be "pork chopped on the back of the head" again.
"Call me a pig now, mothereffer! Call me that AGAIN!"
The Composer, who was watching this whole fiasco, immediately recalled the pin out of sympathy for his poor proxy. He called back the pin under it being too "dangerous" and "traumatizing." Indeed it was.
2. The Flash It Up Pin
It was a D + B pin with an icon of a yellow sparkle on a purple background. Neku found it actually pretty entertaining. Using the pin on Noise and making them run into objects like cars and traffic cones blindly was funny. Basically, all the pin did was blind Noise temporarily with a burst of light. Neku liked that pin. Shiki also got a pretty good kick out of seeing Penguin Noise blindly run into cars on her side of the Noise battle. It made things a hell of a lot easier.
It was all good until a few days later. Every Flash It Up pin was gone. Or, more specifically, stolen. The crow-like Decadraven Noise were attracted.
Joshua was far from happy after he found a huge pile of said pins gathered from the Noise under a shelf in the Shibuya River. It was a nest.
3. The Meme Pin
It was a Gatito specialty. It used Internet memes to help the Players. However, Neku soon found it annoying while Beat found it "magical."
It was during a Noise fight when Neku used his pin only to see a poptart cat that was shitting rainbows bulldozed through the Penguin Noise.
Beat laughed his ass off after the battle after revealing that he downloaded the "Nyan Cat" song onto Neku's Mp3. Neku slapped him and told him to lay off. They went off to fight more Noise.
Neku was not amused when he saw a robot unicorn with a rainbow mane spear through the Noise with ease. Then, Beat started singing along. Badly.
Always, I wanna be with you! And make believe with you! And live in harmony, harmony, oh, LOVE!
Dear god.
While Joshua did like unicorns, he did not appreciate of how Robot Unicorns just murdered the definition of "innocent ponies and unicorns." And so, it was recalled.
4. The Switcharoo Pin
The main purpose of this pin WAS supposed to be able to switch bodies in a Noise fight to be able to connect with your Partner more and allow more range of battle. However, there was a glitch to the Sheep Heavenly pin. It did not switch the Players' minds. It switched their personalities.
"Oh, gosh, hey, Shiki, didn't you like the Prince? Maybe I could ask him for some tips about my appearance." Neku tugged on Shiki's shirt sleeve eagerly. His eyes were perky and jumpy like the ones from a shoujo manga.
The pink-haired girl shrugged her shoulder coldly. Her brown eyes glared at the now happy boy. "I could care less. I somehow find him irritating now. What the hell is wrong with you?"
While Joshua was content for a short while that his dear proxy was showing more human and happy signs of life, the Composer immediately had his doubts after he saw Neku obsessing over a pair of boy jeans at a store. Then, a few minutes later, he officially recalled it after Sho somehow managed to switch personalities with Megumi.
"You, you're out of your vector! Do something about this boring Game, Composer! Trash! I'll add it to the-"
"Megumi, show some respect to the Composer. I apologize, sir."
Joshua pinched his brow and recalled the pin for its "character-destroying properties" before repairing everyone's slaughtered characters.
5. The Condom Pin
It was a product of one of Sanae's drunken nights. Upon looking at the pin's picture of a condom, Joshua twitched his eye once before rolling his eyes and putting it in his pocket. "I'll see this pin later. I have a proxy to shoot."
Then, it was the ultimate showdown. Joshua vs. Neku. Slowly, Joshua drew his gun in a confident fashion from his pocket. However, he failed to see the pin which got magically looped on the tip of the gun. The pin went a distance after Joshua flicked his wrist sharply after turning off the safety lock. The pin flew and landed at Neku's feet.
Then, in the midst of all that tension, Neku picked it up and paled. Then, he glared, dropped it, and crunched the pin under his feet.
"You sick bastard."
The Composer let his grip relax on the gun in amazement upon realization after searching his pockets. "W-wait, you don't understand!"
Neku raised his own gun with a vicious look and cocked it. "I'm not gay. I shouldn't be feeling sorry for you. Farewell, Joshua."
The Composer scowled and snapped his fingers to let time freeze before turning to Sanae who stood behind him, rubbing his neck sheepishly. "You ruined a perfectly dramatic moment, Sanae."
"Eh…Joshua…."
"Do I even need to say it? Get rid of that pin and rewind time."
"…Yes, Joshua."
6. The Stay High And Mighty, Sound Pin
Contrary to its name, the Dragon Couture pin with its sound waves decal was far from "mighty." High, yes but it pissed the Players off but amused the Reapers.
"So, like, fight us, you losers!" Uzuki taunted as Koki stood behind her, sucking on his lollipop lazily.
Beat smirked and held out the pin. He took a deep breath before booming his most intimidated voice. "You and Lollipop goin' down, man! I-Holy shit, what up with my voice?"
Instead of his deep and gruff man voice, what came out was a high pitched voice. Beat screamed obscenities while Uzuki and Koki proceeded to laugh their asses off.
Neku would've laughed too if it weren't for the fact that he was affected with the chipmunky voice too.
Despite Joshua's pleading, Sanae had to take the pin off the Game because it drove the Players nuts and the pins were abandoned after a day.
7. The It's Rainin' Cats Pin
Reference to his penname, Sanae liked cats. Cats were cute. They were cool. He just liked them. So, he made a pin dedicated for them. It was a Sheep Heavenly pin with an orange kitty against a green background on it. Basically, it summoned cats from the sky to help the Players.
It was recalled for two reasons.
One:
Neku hated it. As he was still recovering from the last whole stuffed animal ordeal.
"Oh god! The pigs! They're everywhere! EVERYWHERE!" Neku went fleeing for his life in the Noise battle, screaming as "pigs" dropped from the sky. Shiki was lucky to love cats otherwise she would have never beaten all the Noise on her own while Neku was too busy screaming his head off and running in circles.
Two:
Like several other Players, Nao was allergic to cats. She sneezed. A lot. "This is, like," Sneeze. "The worst pin," Sneeze. "Like totally," Sneeze. "Evar." Sneeze. "I, like," Sneeze. "Totally, hate" Sneeze. "This pin."
The Composer was neither a hater nor a fan of cats but he found the whole psyche of the pin ridiculous and recalled it under the terms that it was "infection-inducing and useless."
8. The Worm Pin
It was a product of Sanae's boredom. There were no worm Noise but the Producer just felt like making one. So, he did. All it did was, literally, summon worms from the ground.
It only took two hours for every girl to scream and drop the pin like it was infected. This included Shiki, Uzuki, Mitsuki, and Rhyme. The fact that it wasn't even that helpful made it all the worse.
The Composer got a headache from all the screaming and recalled it under the terms that it was "useless and headache-inducing."
