[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.

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

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

Sorry, that's none of the groups I know more of. They probably finished after us, sorry. I haven't heard about any casualties yet either, though!

How big is your team exactly?

13 people, of all ages and occupations. 9 men, 4 women, age ranging from 16 to 40s. We've got only about 3 non-combatants, but I think Absinthe ended up pretty battle-intensive, so that might've been intentional on the team-picker's end. One of the guy's knows how to heal people, it'S pretty neat!

Sounds like a good group of people to tackle whatever it is you're doing.

Haha, yeah, they're all good folks! It feels like a totally wacky adventure of a roadtrip with them, but the kind where you're sorta invincible and everybody gets to laugh and question how we even managed to do and get away with whatever we did!

Can I ask what it is exactly that your team was asked to do? apart from the monsters, I mean.

The gist of it? They want us to help fix reality. and yeah, I know how that sounds

Fix... reality.
Nothing about a hub or a generator?

Not yet. But I bet they're keeping the good stuff for the final.

And how to they expect you to do that?

Beats me. It's all a big confusing mess so far, even for an unplanned temple diving excursion. We're pretty much flying by the edge of our seats and keep tossing shit at the wall until something sticks. -you wouldn't believe what actually ends up working at times.

I suppose we don't have much of a choice vut to see this through.

Is there anything in particular you think might be needed from us who were left behind?
Anything we can do for those that are out there?

It's probably a case-by-case thing, but I'd say booze, massages and medical aid at standby will be a good idea.

Well, I've already provided two out of three. I'm afraid I'm not that good with massages, but I guess I could fine a therapist somewhere.

Sounds like you got it already handled then, bi- No, sorry, I was told not to call people like that anymore. Some are sensitive and take it the wrong way. Just be there and ready to help the people who got recruited in the teams and the missing people once we get them back - that's the best support you can give us, and I'm dead serious about it! People keep getting pretty banged up at the job, having somebody who's got their back's going to be worth money!

Alright. I'll keep doing it, then.

Alright, thanks! What's the name of your friend, by the way? If I run into him I'll keep an eye on him for you.

Jirou Hirata.
He'll probably be drunk when you meet him.

Ok, I'll keep it in mind. Wait, drunk?! Why??

Because he drinks all the time.

[Duh.]

That's.... uh. I admire your faith that he'll even find some booze what he's lost in a god knows what fold of reality.

[Why is he even expecting something logical in this place???]

He's managed so far. I'm not to worried about that.

[One would think you would need to be worried, but no, it does sound like Kenta is relieved his friend manages to get himself drunk.]

Sure also is a way of having faith in somebody. Alright, I'll keep an eye out for him. Good luck to you too!
