[Kenta didn't really mean to tweet but it's the first time he really posts and he's not sure how he ended up linking his other social media account to that thing. He just figured it was the easiest way to ask people a few questions.]

Kenta Ooshima @toobigtohandle
Has anyone here not received those strange instructions on their phone after the monsters started spawning? I haven't and I'm wondering how widespread that is.

Comments

[storytelleroftime]

Yeah I got those too. But I mean we've already completed our instructions to right now we're just like... resting and stuff.

[Sorry Kenta she can't go into any more detail than that. It's classified.]

[toobigtohandle]

... I asked for people who have not received anything.

I've already heard from people who have regarding what they're supposed to do, and I wonder why some were chosen and others not.

[storytelleroftime]

Yeah I totally missed the not part.

[Not really. She's looking for an excuse to talk to someone else for a change, given how she's been doing this week.]

I'm totally betting they just put the names of the non-disappeared people into a hat and drew them randomly or something, given the lack of commonalities among those of us on the teams, versus those of us who aren't.

[toobigtohandle]

... That actually sounds pretty likely, given that I know how to fight and my best friend doesn't, and he was chosen when I was not.

Which category are you in?

[chuusai]

I didn't get any instructions and two of my friends are completely unable to be contacted
Have you lost contact with anyone?

[toobigtohandle]

I haven't lost contact with anyone I know.

[But he knows like two people on Retrospec, so he's not a good example.]

Two people I know have received instructions to go to specific places, but they are still reachable on the app.

[chuusai]

I don't know if you're lucky or I'm unlucky

Did you go with them?

[toobigtohandle]

My friend left while I wasn't looking and just gave me a general location as to where he was, so I don't think it would have been a good idea to follow on just that.

[So he was waiting at home while quietly freaking out, really.]

[invocate]

Li-Na Yiu I did not receive instructions either. What sort of instructions were they?

[toobigtohandle]

I haven't seen them for myself, but it seems people were asked to rendezvous to a specific place.

And there were more monsters where they went.

[invocate]

Wait. So it was basically a trap?!

[toobigtohandle]

I... suppose you could see it like that, but they also had things to do, a mission of some kind. M friend told me of some kind of hub or generator that needed to be powered on.

[explodosafe]

Congratulations. That means you were chosen to not have to deal with monsters, sloth-stealing fish and bare naked ladies.

[toobigtohandle]

I'd rather have been chosen to deal with monsters than my friend who can't fight to save his life.

... But I'm not sure what the other two things on your list have to do with what's happening?

[explodosafe]

The groups are pretty big, if his is anything like ours then he should have had enough fighters to cover for him while he helps them with something else. Do you know the name of the group he got assigned to?

They happened, and that's all you wanna know, trust me. Our team was fun but it ended up also being pretty crazy.

[Did you ever watch a naked lady interrogate somebody from retrospec? Cutter can cross that point off his bucket list now.]

[toobigtohandle]

I would hope so, but knowing him...
The name was 'Brandywine.

[Kenta... cannot say has, but he also probably doesn't want to.]

[matsuura]

I didn't but I'm worried because one of my friends disappeared...
she doesn't even show up on Retrospec and there's no answer on her phone either
I'm trying not to freak out

[toobigtohandle]

So your friend is one of those who is marked as offline, then.

I spoke to a lot of people, but no one seems to be able to find the people who are in that situation. It is worrying but also reassuring in a way. If something had indeed happened to them, there's no way to make that many bodies disappear.

[Kenta, stop talking about potential dead bodies to teenage girls.]

[matsuura]

yeah! like this whole thing is suspicious enough I don't need it kidnapping my friends too

don't say that! that's super not helpful!!
I don't want ANY of them to be dead!

[rebellions]

wanna switch places?

[Not that it's possible, but he's pretty damn Tired already.]

[toobigtohandle]

I actually wouldn't be opposed. I'd rather be out there fighting than have my friend who can't even throw a punch doing it.

[rebellions]

when you put it that way
guess that'd be hella annoying

[Especially with how his group has decided to use those who cannot fight as a monster bait next week, um.]

give them a few pointers?
and first aid kid that one's useful

[vendettastool]

Just because we aren't pulled into a quest doesn't mean we can't do anything. We can always give them a digital hand or at least look things up that they can't look for wherever they are.

[toobigtohandle]

I'm just trying to understand the logic behind who was chosen. I can fight and my friend doesn't, but he was chosen and not I.

[vendettastool]

It might be that they need a wide range of skillsets outside of fighting. Sure fight skills are useful but sometimes you need other qualities to get through a dungeon.
