[recollecters]

Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them. That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

I'm finally able to see the world that so few in this city can see, and it appears that death is may be just around the corner.
I find that unfortunate, but nothing can be done about it.
One cannot challenge nor change storms.
Or can they?

Ah, well. Everything at the restaurant be fifty-percent off.
I'd be more generous, but we all might live.
Something for us all to look forward to, hm?

I apologize for sounding as though I am taking this so lightly, but I believe we will be fine. I am new to this view of the world. Indeed, I don't know anything about it, but those who came before me are still alive and well.
That's enough reason to have hope and not panic, isn't it?

[imaginex]

Oh, you too, Shigaraki-san?

I'd welcome you to the app but I'm afraid it's a very strange... thing...

I'm not sure how to describe it myself.

[livingimpaired]

[ Sakura is on this network, as well? Ah, there is no way that he could explain that to his senpai, is there? Not without having Tohsaka believe that Kei has become unstable, so he will have to file it away. ]

So it would seem, Sakura.
It is all right. You need not worry about welcoming nor describing it.
Things appear to be difficult enough and so I will not give the added burden of leading me anywhere.
Instead, I shall ask you: how are you? Are you well?

[ Haha, he's hilarious. ]

[imaginex]

Oh I'm fine!

[Ha. Haha. Give a few weeks, he'll come to see what a lie that is, but for now, she can pretend]

Things have been strange lately, but that's how it's been for a while. I joined the app in September.

[So right around she arrived in the city]

[tuffguy]

wait 50% off?!
what kind of restaurant is it?

[1/2]

[livingimpaired]

[livingimpaired]

We sell ramen.

[ At the bottom of mapo tofu bowls. ]

[manufactured]

[...Well, now.]

Good to see that some of us are remaining pragmatic as ever.

[livingimpaired]

Well, well, well.
I had no idea that you, too, had this app, Noah Isaacs.
I am relieved once more to see a familiar name.
I hope that all the revelations that have been thrust upon you have been treating you well.

[lifleifthrasir]

Your genuine optimism is a pleasure to read.

[livingimpaired]

Heaven forbid.
Do I truly sound optimistic?

[falsepretentious]

Such a generous deal. Rest assured, it's one that I won't let go to waste.

Additionally, I see nothing wrong with the view that you've taken up. It's fine to be hopeful, so long as you show some caution at the same time.

[livingimpaired]

It is why the discount is only fifty.
I would rather not end up in the red.

[beneathmoonlight]

Fifty-percent?

[livingimpaired]

Correct.
And shall last until the storm is over.
Fair?

[gunsandveggies]

Oh!

[Haru only barely recognizes him, mostly from him talking about the restaurant, but she definitely remembers taking on and obliterating the mapo tofu challenge.]

In that case, maybe I should try the challenge again!
I feel I ought to have another victory before this storm.

[livingimpaired]

[ Well, that is a name that he immediately recognizes. There is only a handful of people that have actually beaten the challenge, after all. ]

Please do.
I always am fond of seeing you visit, Haru.
It's rare to meet someone who enjoys mapo tofu as much as I do, after all.
And I always appreciate the business you bring.

[foeyay]

it's okay. death doesn't kill you here anyway.

i'm still only paying half my bill when I eat tonight tho.

[livingimpaired]

I'm sorry? Death doesn't kill you?

That is fine. I don't like taking money from those in need.

[heritrix]

[Words cannot describe the unhappy faces Rin is making at her phone screen right now. Ugh.

...]

Tip, you'll reel in more customers by talking about the food instead of how the end is nigh.

[livingimpaired]

[ Oh, look. It's his "best" past employee. ]

Thank you for correcting my poor choice of words, Rin.
Indeed, it is not my intention to scare off customers.
I should try to leave most of the customer service to Gladiolus, but well, I have to attempt to do these sort of things from time to time.
How have you been?

[adoringpast]

this is way too optimistic coming from you, kei-san
are you sure you're just going to cut your profits in half like that?
you don't even know what's coming

[livingimpaired]

I apologize.
I suppose even I like making a good impression from time to time.
But are you worried about me?
I am touched that you are feeling concern for me, Mizuki.
But I will be fine.

[daemonized]

No, you're clearly taking it /too/ lightly. Death is swiftly upon us. Fifty-percent off is not nearly significant enough for those of us who feel its chill wind, creeping across our spines.

[livingimpaired]

Oh?
What percentage would be acceptable to those trembling under the cool touch of the reaper's hand?
