Car chases come and go, but it’s deterring your hostage’s saviors that makes the difference in life. That sounded pretty evil, but it’s about you taking the leader of the mafia to the police — so it’s a gray area. You feel like you were sidelined for a good while, waiting for Judith and her crew to get ready to meet your team. It’s almost like someone shoved you inside a bag and let you fester in there for a day. Nobody should endure that.That’s why you have been listening to Bubbles. The plucky girl is doing a report about how your pals around town are faring in these trying times. This gangster debacle is a city wide event after all. Everyone is fine so far, but there’s more to say!“Sorry, everyone! I mentioned Jackey Frosties, and our amazing maid here brought me some. You know how it goes.” Scarlet apologizes for the sudden break. “Couldn’t you eat after you were done talking...?” Vera is in this group call.“And let it melt? Hello? That’s a big no-no. This is peak ice cream condition, and you know it.” Scarlet refuses to let her dessert suffer. “Where was I?”“Uhm, the Jackey Frosties news?” Liu is always polite. Originally, Liu was going to relay the news to all of you, but her and Scarlet thought it would be faster if the redhead talked directly.“Oh… yeah… one got vandalized…” Scarlet sounds heartbroken. “C-Cheer up, Scar Scar. There are plenty of them around, right?” Crossbill tries to cheer up the spoonful spirit. It’s you five in this call, one agent in both groups and their navigators — plus Bubbles.“Yeah, take it easy. I bet they’ll stock it back up in no time.” You remember they have that cryptic mascot anyway. That place is supernatural.“But it’s the one we visited after taking down the cult, Johnny…” Scarlet has a real reason to be down.“I bet we can help rebuild it.” You adjust your glasses.“Stop. No more side-missions. You have plenty on your plate. You have an idol agency for crying out loud.” Vera stops this nonsense!“That he does...” Crossbill chuckles. “Don’t ask why, I don’t think anyone really gets it. Not even himself.”“Hey, I know why I have it. I don’t know *how* it expanded so fast, but that’s a different question altogether.” You’re a decent manager, gosh darn it.“I-I think we should continue the report, shouldn’t we?” Liu doesn’t believe it’s the time to go into silly arguments.“If only Scarlet stopped stuffing her face.” Vera grumbles.“Huh? I’ve been done for a while.” Scarlet sounds confused.“B-But you just got it.” Vera is concerned.“So?” Scarlet doesn’t get it.The Scarlet Report may continue delivering the news, but you don’t have to listen to it if you’re going to get busy, not that you aren’t massively curious about how everyone is doing…What do you do? >Continue listening to the Bubbles Report. That’s the actual name, and you won’t hear otherwise.>Have the meeting with Judith now. It’s time to move things along. Hand over Youhao.>Write In.

This rule doesn't apply to the last reply of the day.Votes that require a dice roll are counted until 15 minutes have passed, so we can speed up the process. Rolls are counted until 10 minutes have passed, so be prepared! (NEW) Dice Mechanic: We always roll 1d100s!Since most people weren’t happy with the system of averaging top four rolls, we’re using best of 2/3/4 depending on the attribute a prompt requires. If Johnny is a genius and it’s a Knowledge based roll, he gets more rolls (Max. 7)! If he sucks, he gets less dice (Min. 2)! When asked for rolls, I will specify how many you’re going to get. Rolling begins after it’s asked. Rolling 100 is a critical! There are no Critical Failures anymore! The difficulty of the roll is tied with the effectiveness of the action. In other words, the harder the option the better the result! Don’t forget that at the end of the day, this is a story-driven quest! What the prompts are describing is more important than the difficulty of the rolls, for results in a fight. Again, rolls are only counted when they are posted within ten minutes of being asked, so watch out!

You’re not a heartless psychopath, you wanna keep hearing about how your friends and acquaintances are doing. Besides, you can’t wish a meeting with Judith into existence, you’re going to wait whether you want to or not. “Do you get to enjoy this stuff if you don’t savor them for more than a second…?” Vera the Cheese Muncher knows all about making her meal last.“As for the Jackey Frosties, I can wire you some money to help fix it up, Scarlet. Maybe we can go on a date there sometime soon!” You propose.“W-Weally?! Y-You would?! Thank you, Johnny!!! I knew you’d care!” Scarlet’s lisp slips! “I said don’t get sidetracked! If you end up managing an ice cream store I’m really going to lose it this time.” Vera argues.“You don’t consider what you’ve done before as losing it…?” Liu is concerned. Very concerned.“Hey, I don’t stop him when he tries to do something nice for you! Meanie!” Scarlet pouts. Probably. You can’t see it, but you know the tone when she does.“Besides, maybe I can manage it, I didn’t do half bad with the food stall…” Crossbill loves doing sidequests. “They’re franchised, aren’t they?”“I think so!” Scarlet nods. “Don’t you already own a place like that with Lydie Fort anyway, Johnny?” Liu wonders.“Huh, right.” You forgot you didn’t do this just for the Beanies. “We’ll see what we do. But I can fuel more ventures.” You adjust your glasses. Maybe you can turn Fort Lydie into a Jackey Frosties…“Ain’t that place as dilapidated as this van…?” Crossbill doesn’t see the point. “Why is everything my bestie owns old and rusty...?”“Anyway~, thank you, Johnny, Crossbill! Hehe, you’re super clutch!” Scarlet sounds bubbly, meaning it’s time for the Bubbles Report! “Anyway, let’s continue, shall we?”[The Bubbles Report]Like before, you’re getting a summary of the news happening around town, by using the Motley Crew Surveillance System! (Susie’s cat and Cameras!) Let’s continue learning about everyone’s whereabouts!-I’m not sure if you knew this, but the year below us were at the museum! Their field trip was ruined, but they’re fine! It's hard to be in trouble when you have Nariko, Yu Yan, Henry, George, and Trent on the field. Coindentally, Golden Peak Academy had their own bus there. So, Phoebe, Eloise, and the ladder kid were there. Yu Yan told me to call them ‘Piss Town Buds’, but I’m not sure if I should. Anyway, they had more issues trying to hide the fact they were kicking ass from the teachers, than beating those lowlifes. It was really fun to watch! They were so silly!
>>6375068-It was unbelievably hard to track, but the Markgician snuck inside a gaudy building, where this big wig meeting was happening — and he seemingly threatened them all! He dropped a calling card at the center of the table and left without being spotted. Remember the group of evil billionaires? They all were there, and looked beyond pissed after they read it! I don’t know what’s going on! It was funny though, Ka-Shing entered the room after that happened, but our spy left the building soon after, it looked awkward...-Uncle Jerry’s restaurant was attacked! Yeah, Terry’s dad! The birthplace of the Golden Crusher! W-What? I don’t sound like an ad! It’s true! Anyway, it seems a bunch of the people he banned are still really angry about it, even after all of these years. Most of them are losers who are part of the mafia. But we sent Oliver and Jaylene to save the day. Why do you sound skeptical? They kinda helped! Uncle Jerry is a scary dude on his own. Also, did you know he met the president?-Speaking of our friends being in trouble, Iris and Tihana, two of the prisoners we helped, had an altercation with some thugs who rushed inside a TV station. Or was it an idol agency? They are out there helping peeps around and saw them. It wasn’t a big deal, they totally beat them up! A stranger with a flame helped them, she had a sportsy look and crab powers. Don’t ask me what those are, but it sounds delicious. Do you know that Tihana turns into a giant hamster?! It’s adorable. She looks so cuddly, it’s insane. She should team up with Rora. Two fluffy animals!-And there are many more of our friends helping around the city too! Taking these criminals head on! WILDFLAME, Dudley, remember Rahul? That’s another one of the prisoners we saved. Even Carmella. Nina has no idea how to feel about this. But helping them out was more than worth it, wasn’t it? Take that, Vera!-We spotted Vivienne carrying Flint Masterson! We don’t know what happened, but this is huge. Amelia is investigating from a safe distance as we speak. We will have the full report soon!-You weren’t the only ones wanting to storm inside the Mafia Headquarters! Hanno and Velenius went right in from the front door. Maybe they helped distract them for you? What a coincidence! Is there anyone there left to face them? As far as we saw, Lydie’s brother wasn’t there, even if he was supposed to be. “We’re still trying to make contact with Double D. But he seems to be busy…” Scarlet laments as she finishes the report.“Heard anything about Gerard?” You wonder for no reason. Like, literally none.“Uhm, lemme ask around, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I have something. Okay?” Scarlet will work on this. “Anyone else you want me to keep an eye on?”Bubbles has a lot to investigate further on…
>>6375069Anyone you want to learn more from? You have to be specific.>Nope, you’re good.>Write In.What’s next?>Meet with Judith.

You can’t come up with any other names who could be involved. And if there’s anyone you’re forgetting, you trust the team over there to keep an eye on them. Scarlet and crew have all your trust! Unlike Liu’s crew, who you know did something to your van. But you’re not going to bring it up just yet, but you will… you damn will... “Nope.” You shake your head. The rest follow your lead into nothingness. “Great work, Scarlet.”“Thanks! Keep on rocking, guys! I’ll be in contact!” Scarlet ends this report for the meantime. Now it’s back to reality. The final step of the mission, where you retrieve the fetch item to the key character. In this case, the half-beaten leader of the mafia to the trusty policewoman. You’re inside the garage of the building, on the back of the car still, everyone is wasting their time on their phones. Mat is watching the news, Celia is messing with the radio, and Roger is inside the building getting clearance for something. These guys are paranoid. “Sorry about that, kids. We’re good now.” Roger shows up alongside a couple of agents. You can’t tell if it’s the police, the interpol, or the secret police because they are in civilian clothes. Well, you can tell a couple away out of the bunch… “About time...” Celia’s smile of satisfaction has faded with the wait.“Apologies for the tardiness, and your patience is very much appreciated.” Judith bows her head. “Please, follow us into the office space. Any preference for beverage? I say my coffee is of the utmost enjoyment.”You all step out of the car, in yours and Mat’s arms is the criminal mastermind behind the largest criminal organization in the country. The agents will take him from this point. “Then coffee it is.” You won’t refuse something so eagerly offered.“G-Gah! It’s you again! I thought that for one day, I didn’t need to think about you...!” Officer Cocoa is troubled! But you all had fun yesterday, what gives? You wiggle your eyebrows back. The officer rolls her eyes with a hint of red forming on her cheeks.“Ugh, it’s the freaky cop...” Celia doesn’t like the sight of her. Matilda raises an eyebrow, she missed that part of the hugging session...“Freaky cop? What’s the story?” Roger looks amused. Even the other agents want to listen.“Yes. Please. Indulge us.” Matilda is in on this too.“D-D-Don’t say a word. Either of you! Or you’ll pay for this…!” Cocoa threatens you and Celia. The other agents take Youhao away...“You’re so friendly with each other. How joyous.” Judith sees this as a good sign. “But let’s leave it for later, there’s work that needs to be done. And don’t fret, my men have a cell prepared for this man. Now let’s make ourselves comfortable so you can relay your story.”“You don’t have to tell me twice.” You need a break…
>>6375119The office space isn’t scandalously comfortable, but with a couple of couches, cups of coffee, screens, a table, and some sunlight — what else can you wish for in an impromptu work space?You’re in the middle of the couch, Matilda and Celia by each side. The table separates you from the other couch, where Judith solely takes comfort. Roger and Cocoa stand behind her. The other officers are in the adjacent room with Youhao, in his provisional cell. “Once again, I want to congratulate you for a remarkable job.” Judith plays with her cup of coffee, dangling her finger on the edges. “Words fail to describe how monumental this achievement is. And the timing? It couldn’t be better.”“Thanks for believing in us. I bet our call came out of nowhere.” You half-joke.“Not even wishing stars feel so miraculous, I admit.” Judith giggles. The conversation is starting pretty well!What do you do?>Ask how things are looking from the police’s perspective.>Ask what happens now with Youhao in their custody. >Ask if there’s going to be some type of reward. The most wanted criminal in the country had to have a bounty, right?>Make eye contact with Cocoa. Offer your lap. >Allow Celia to ask Judith what is up with her funny pants.>Allow Matilda not to be thrilled by the coffee quality. >Write In. (Last Reply of the Day, we continue tomorrow!)

>>6375133+1
The Bubbles Report did a wonderful job of letting you know how your buddies were faring, but it’s all small scale. You need to see the whole picture. And the police perspective is as good as it gets in this instance.“It's a great cup of coffee, Judith. What blend is it?” You taste it and get curious.“A fruit and nut blend. The perfect flavor for celebration.” Judith calculated this exact reaction. Hook, line, and sinker…“Great to beat the cold too…” Celia enjoys it, even if she almost burns her tongue. “Hmm…” Matilda has her own thoughts but she’s polite enough to not ruin the mood.“Moving on, how are things looking from you guys’ perspective?” You wonder.“We have moved past the worst. The unrest within the police ranks, the insubordination, the miscommunications; even a portion of my own precinct turned against us. I’ve never seen such a lack of professionalism in my career. It has been quite a challenge, and I felt quite foolish.” Judith has bittersweet feelings. “We managed to control the situation internally, and have been successfully placating the riots — as far as we know.” “C-Civilians don’t need to know that. They’re gonna act like we’re a bunch of jackasses ‘cause of a few bad apples.” Cocoa doesn’t like that the police force is being exposed.“We need to uphold ourselves to the highest standards. And transparency is the bare minimum to earn the public’s trust.” Judith argues. “And to our allies present here? The truth will never be bargained.”“And I was gonna say it’d be better if you softened the message, but hard to argue against someone so passionate.” Roger shrugs.“I assure you all, that officers like Cocoa and Jackson have done a tremendous job to stop all of this.” Judith doesn’t want anyone to be mistaken, the police aren’t evil! When she’s around at least… “Whatever, it’s not like I don’t want those morons to pay.” Cocoa is pissed off with her coworkers anyway. Or former coworkers, you imagine they’re gonna kick them out, like that is Judith’s style of leadership...“Like Jackson? I don’t know how reassuring that is.” Matilda half jokes. Roger chuckles in response, he knows when someone is pulling his leg. “You don’t need to draw us a picture or anything, cops are gonna cop.” Celia doesn’t really care. “I want my old man to pay for all he has done, and be done with this.” Judith and Cocoa look surprised by this revelation. Who wouldn’t be? They don’t look anything alike! Except for their hair color!
>>6375609“What’s going to happen to Youhao?” You ask as a follow up.“He’s going to stand in court in a fair trial, and pay for his misdeeds.” Judith doesn’t mince her words. “We’re circulating the photos of his capture to news outlets as a deterrent.”“Good…” Celia didn’t want to hear something different.“Do you really believe that is going to be enough? How likely is it that these wannabe tough guys stop because of this?” Matilda has her doubts.“Plenty! They threw this tantrum to save his head, now it’s all for nothing.” Cocoa argues. “We may convince him to call the rioting to an end for a leaner sentence. It’ll take an hour tops to go into effect, and for peace to return to the city.” Judith nonchalantly checks her clock. She knows she’s going to make Youhao say what she wants. “She knows how to grill someone’s head until it explodes, she’s relentless. Trust this old man’s word.” Roger knows Judith will get that confession.“No doubts from me!” You nod.“I dunno about that…” Celia glares at the interpol agent.“What’s your hold up?” Matilda is curious.“Well, look at her funny pants, what’s up with them?” Celia doesn’t trust the Yuropean Fashion!“…” Judith looks down at her pants, confused. “Guh~” Cocoa suppresses a laugh.“Oh god, this girl…” Roger facepalms to hide his own chuckling.“T-This is customary from my birthplace. A formal work attire.” Judith argues. “There’s nothing that can be considered of jest about them.”“Nothing? Even when they look like jester pants?!” Celia slams her hand on the table for dramatic effect. Matilda seems to half-agree, but she’s thinking about it.You wonder who you should back here…What do you do?>Admit that Judith’s pants look like Jester Pants.>Refuse the notion. Those pants fit her well and are proper! You aren’t xenophobic!>Say Judith is capable of rocking any attire!

>>6375610Sorry, everyone, I'm having technical difficulties (Can't draw to save my life). The post will be delivered tomorrow!Here's an old sketch of a character that probably nobody remembers! Maybe I posted it before?
>>6375930Don't ask me why, but I could draw this tonight. So here's Judith's whole outfit!
>>6375995She only has 1 shoe?
>>6375998She's wearing them, but since they're black, she looks barefoot, so I drew one with a lighter tone next to her - for you guys know what they look like.
Celia has a point, they look funny, but that doesn’t mean Judith looks bad in those. They fit her well and proper! And not for one moment do you ever think she looks silly. It’s just pants.“Funny or not, she looks great in them.” You defend Judith’s supposedly odd sense of fashion! All women are beautiful, and more when they rock their own style!“Much appreciated.” Judith wasn’t expecting the conversation to go this way. It seemed all going according to her plans...“Not to diminish his words, but he always compliments everyone’s appearance when given the chance. Keep that in mind.” Matilda wants Judith to reconsider her attire if it brings her so much turmoil.“Hey, I call it as it is.” You have well-founded opinions! “Do you enjoy my current appearance?” Matilda shows her attire.“Absolutely! You look great!” You don’t hesitate.“Celia’s?” Matilda grabs Celia’s baggy sleeve.“Adorable beyond belief!” You say with conviction.“H-Huh…?” Celia didn’t see this one coming and uses her beanie to escape reality, gathering some chuckles.“Cocoa’s?” Matilda points at the cop with cop attire. Supposedly nothing to write home about!“Stunning as always!” You love it!“H-Hey, don’t use me in your schemes.” Cocoa doesn’t know how to feel about it, even if she goes a little… tomato.“Old man Jackson’s?” Matilda points at the old man.“Amazing jacket! Pretty cool!” You gotta admit that the aviator jacket is cool!“I’d throw you a kiss if I wasn’t married...” Jackson jokes. Mat didn’t expect you to throw a compliment to your old friend!“Vera’s? Mind you, she’s not even here.” Matilda continues driving her point.“Precious as only she can be! My imagination knows no bounds.” You adjust your glasses. Vera has forgiven you for all your transgressions of the day.“See?” Matilda rests her case. “...This speaks volumes about his character.” Judith doesn’t see it as a bad thing at all. “Those who look with derision at their peers, forget what they are trying to protect.” Her opinion of you can’t get any higher!
>>6376008“Besides, Judith is capable of rocking any attire! I’m sure!” You cross your arms and nod. “I wouldn’t say that my sense of style allows me much of a range...” Judith has her doubts, but discusses this seriously.“You must try to be sure.” Matilda argues there’s no point to a hypothetical that can be easily proven. “Yeah, I’d love to see you try something else!” You act all enthusiastic. “Well, I—” Judith doesn’t have time to think before getting interrupted.“NO! W-We’re not doing another bikini contest, ya hear me?!” Cocoa shouts.“Excuse me? Another?” Judith is perplexed.“What has gotten into you?” Roger doesn’t follow.“Who said anything about swimsuits?” Matilda is confused.“...I told you all she was freaky.” Celia is vindicated.Cocoa has no idea what to say. You doubt she has any idea why she said that. Your reputation is sky-high with Roger and Judith, you gotta think about what you’re going to say, because you don’t wanna let Cocoa be considered a freak to her peers. Or maybe you do, but try to sell the idea that freaks aren’t bad!What do you do?>“What do you guys do at your station...?” Act like Cocoa meant it as a police thing. Throw the ball in their court and act innocent.>“It wasn’t a swimsuit contest, we were at the pool, that’s it.” Downplay it to not raise more questions.>“I mean, I wouldn’t mind one.” Wiggle those eyebrows and lose credibility. It’s a bold move.>“Uhm, I was thinking of a different suit piece myself. Do we have one around?” Try to turn the topic back to Judith.

>>6376028This
You can’t let the slander stand! Cocoa must be defended from a situation she threw herself in for absolutely no good reason. She would do the same for you, right?“To be clear, it wasn’t a swimsuit contest, we were at the pool, that’s it.” You downplay this as much as reasonably possible. Celia stares at you like she knows you’re lying, but doesn’t want to throw herself into the issue. She was part of this too.“Y-Yeah, they wouldn’t let me in unless I put one on.” Cocoa uses the lifeline you threw at her. Not everyone looks convinced.“Why were you at the pool?” Matilda crosses her arms.“Give it up, girl, can’t you tell she’s embarrassed…?” Roger doesn’t like putting people on the spot. Matilda shrugs back, she’s curious.“She shouldn’t be freaky then…” Celia coughs. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think she was jealous of the cop...“It was important research for a future beach vacation that a friend is going to fund.” You give more details. “Cocoa — being the upstanding law officer she is — helped me with my problem.” “There’s no necessity to go further. There’s no argument to put your word or intentions into question.” Judith wholly believes in you! This level of trust shouldn’t be taken lightly. The coffee enthusiast looks troubled, maybe she feels responsible for putting her subordinate in that situation. Perhaps, you weren’t meant to see Cocoa around.“R-Right…” Cocoa is befuddled, but appreciates Judith for what hasn’t been said. “T-Thank you for clearing the misunderstanding, Johnny…” And appreciates you too. You wink back. She doesn’t appreciate that one as much…“Where were we? Oh, yes, we wanted to test Johnny’s assumption.” Matilda brings the conversation back on track.“Yes, about my style range...” Judith is no coward, but she doesn’t feel confident.“I was thinking of a different suit piece myself that you can try on. Do we have one around?” You go fully into what matters.“I brought a handful of costumes in my absurdly large bag.” Matilda shows her bag of absurd largeness. Maybe it’s cosplay stuff? “Any preference?”“N-Not specifically.” Judith isn’t sure what’s happening.“Maybe something that emphasizes thighs?” You suggest as a man of culture and respect.“Like a short skirt?” Matilda wonders.“Wearing a skirt is the worst, I always have to rip them apart to chase after bastards. Lost like 5 or 6 before they let me wear pants full time.” Cocoa talks from experience.“Freaky.” Celia’s words gain more weight with each passing phrase coming out of Cocoa’s mouth.“S-STOP calling me freaky, punk!!!” Cocoa loses it.“Better punk than a pig!” Celia shouts back. Her mafia upbringing makes her clash with the law...“Kids, tone it down.” Roger scolds the two. They both tell the old man to shut it. Now the three are bickering at each other
>>6376378“Idiots…” Vera has passively watched everything this entire time. Since she doesn’t have a line with Cocoa and Judith, she has stayed quiet for the most part. Except when you do questionable actions, she has a lot to say — but you zone out.“W-We can address this at a later time. It almost slipped my mind that I have my meeting with Mr. Gianluigi Youhao.” Again, Judith isn’t a coward, but she’s choosing the cowardly route now. “Please, enjoy your stay. I advise you to not go anywhere until the chaos has subsided.”This is highly disappointing.What do you do?>Look like the saddest wet dog in the world and guilt trip Judith into doing this. >Begrudgingly watch the news and patiently wait for the chaos to stop or something.>Get the preparations ready for a party!

With no other options given, you’re going to do as Judith says. There has to be something you can do in the meantime. There’s a TV you can watch… You three, the non-cop trio, are left alone to your own devices. Judith, Cocoa, and Jackson will be busy with the criminal mastermind in the impromptu cell room. Judith has the power to stop the bickering at any time. Also, they really trust you as they left no agents to keep an eye on you. As far as you know, there’s a couple guarding the entrance in the adjacent room — but this break room? All yours, baby.That’s why, as the Beanie committee, you spin the coach you are on to face the TV directly. No uncomfortable watching time as long as you’re in charge.You put on the news because these cops are cheapskates with no streaming or cable plan, and no channel is showing something else. Pathetic.To be fair, they jump right into a concerning sight that you need to pay attention to…The sights are on City Hall, the perimeter is police secured by their cars and security tapes, but what should be the divider between chaos and safety has already been breached. Arrests are happening, ambulances are taking the injured away, the press is at the steps of the building’s entrance capturing the essence of the ugly scenery around them. A grand battle happened, but it’s now over. The reporter describes what they witnessed in both confusion and astonishment. Classical music blared so indescribably loud that the windows were vibrating, then it stopped as they heard the sound of a building collapsing, and the subsequent shock wave going through the ground made them lose their footing. Then it went all quiet and, after all that, the cop rushed in. The journalist stresses that aside from destruction on the surface, all buildings he sees are on their feet. Then he points at the ground he’s standing on. It is hollowed in a way that would make it seem like a large heavy object dropped on top. But it’s not round, it’s shaped like a hand. It’s so large that they need a different camera angle to show it.You see a couple of familiar faces on the ground, one being Molfgang Amadeus Wozart! The guy you only know for being a judge in the Food Battle you had with Gerard and nothing else. And the guy you threw a Coconut at. Not the craziest roster.Now the city hall’s doors open wide, and everyone news related rushes to interview whoever comes out — and it’s Elicarto Lloydington, the leader of the White Flames, a billionaire, and a politician. He lets the press know that he’s negotiated the end of this city-wide turmoil. He claims the current government was totally incapable of doing something, and he had to step in. Pokyo Lokyo is safe thanks to him and no one else.“Welp.” It's hard to remember a time when you watched the news and came out happy. “He’s stealing our credit.” And he totally used his entity to get rid of them all!
>>6376458“It’s that loser!” Philonune doesn’t like the sight of him.“What the hell? What did he even do?” Celia is annoyed. “If no one calls him out, I’m gonna kill these reporters.”“Someone heard your wish. Let’s keep listening.” Matilda realizes there’s someone with balls among the reporters.The press questioning continues…“Pokyo Observer here, the police showed evidence of Gianluigi Youhao’s capture well before you showed up — with negotiations for a ceasefire on the table. And plenty of terrorists waving the white flag at different spots in the city. Doesn’t law enforcement get the credit for putting a stop to this? What did you exactly do?” The thug looking reporter expertly points out. Poor guy looks injured, also, looks part of the mafia. Have you seen him before?“I gave the police the lead for that! But what I've done here is far more important. I’m politically savvy enough to easily deal with the carnage that was left unfolding at the heart of the city, I have the resources to protect my back, and I knew I had to act. By my own determination, I asked our valiant police officers to bring me and my guards here to convince this gutter trash to stop this nonsense. By any means necessary. Who else is going to protect the nation? I brought peace with might and reason. Plain and simple.” Lloydington challenges.“Don’t you have direct ties with Gianluigi Youhao? You were mentioned in the leaked files from this morning. How are we supposed to make sense of what happened today if you two used to work together, are you in cahoots? Did you betray each other?” The thug reporter knows what to say. Almost like someone else is guiding him through the process with an ear piece. That’s oddly specific, but Vera thinks she can tell that stuff, so you indulge her.“I have the decency to stand up against anarchy, on my own two muddy shoes — and you dare question my values? My ethics? Tell me: who else had the dignity to show their face? The mayor of this city was begging on his knees for dear life when we found him. I showed up for the people of this country, and you see me as the enemy?! I saved Gordon’s city! Shame on you, lowlife. Shame on you.” Lloydington bullies the poor reporter…After that, Lloydington’s security surrounds him to take him away from the safety of decent journalism...Oh man, Wozart is dead (QM Note: He’s not confirmed dead.) This could sour the party you were about to plan…What do you do?>Ask from here if Judith and company saw that. You gotta know if they’re stealing their credit too.>No one can sour the party. Focus on that, and ignore this moron! Go to Fort Lydie!>Do an imaginary highlight reel of Wozart’s best moments in the quest.

There’s nothing more respectful that you can do for Wozart than to stay where you are, and remember his greatest moments. You recall the moment you previously mentioned about the Cooking Duel. He was a fair judge at that, quite friendly too. That was the proper debut of the cake! And Debbie was green for some reason! Until she ate the cake and went back to being a full Blueberry! Good times!…Is it your fault she’s a voyeur…?Hold on. You’re supposed to remember Wozart! The man, the myth, the legend! And you mean it!After that duel, he… uh… uhm… hmm… that’s literally the one time you’ve seen him in person. He helped you tease Vivi with the others at least. He’s an all time great compared to Twist or something. May the memories never fade.“Are you still zoning out?” Matilda raises an eyebrow.“Me...? I’d never.” You reject the notion! That’d mean you’re tired, and you’re never ever tired thanks to drugs disguised as Cola drinks.“Right…” Matilda doesn’t believe you. It’s so annoying that you traumatized a girl while being tired once, and she acts like it’s your whole personality now. “...I liked the song you were whistling.” Celia appreciates something you supposedly did. Which you didn’t. She whistles it back to you for you to remember.“Oh! You mean the one from the highlight package!” You nod.“...The what?” Celia raises an eyebrow.“Never forget your heroes and what they've done for you.” You look up to the ceiling like it’s the sky. You can feel it, a wishing star passed by. You’re not delusional.“...Do you have some tape? We need to restrain him.” Matilda has decided this is nonsense.“You’re freaky too, huh?” Celia doesn’t trust people with very specific kinks. “I’m kidding. But you’re not going to make an issue of someone sleep talking, bud.”“Fine. But, one day, you’re going to regret this.” Matilda knows the future. Vera nods along. Both are meanies in your book.“By the way, I wonder…” You need to bring up what happened to the others. “Roger, Judith, Cocoa! Did you catch that on TV?”“The Lloydington stuff? Yeah, we did!” Roger shouts from the other room. “He's a motherfucker!” You hear Judith and Cocoa scold Roger to mind his language...“What do you all make of this?!” You shout back.“Public opinion is difficult to sway after an initial revelation, but we’re going to keep the record straight, as you say.” Judith shouts back. “A-And can we not shout sensitive information? Have a little sense, gentlemen, please!”“My bad! Thank you for answering!” You yell apologetically.“My pleasure!” Judith sounds happy to be heard. “Y-You could’ve gone to the other room to talk…” Vera thinks you were loud for no reason.You take a moment to remember the fallen once again…
>>6377687Pet-Vortexia lets you know that you received a message from Debbie lamenting Wozart’s downfall. Truly a moment that will mark a before and after. Also, your data buddy tells you the rest of the team is done with their visit with Giorsal, and they’re ready for what’s next. Also, they have a big surprise!What do you do?>You’re going to meet everyone at Fort Lydie to celebrate!

>>6377688>>Invite the team to your apartment to have a jolly time together to celebrate!
What better place to receive a surprise gift than in the comfort of your home? You’re going to invite everyone to your apartment to celebrate a mission well done! It’s time to spread joy as soon as possible. In the little time in between your release to freedom and now, you hash out the details with the power of text messaging. All important characters should be in the know. The van is here to pick you up. The streets should be fairly quiet by now, even if there’s a curfew later today. The authorities say it is for caution’s sake, and they’re likely right, but it’s annoying. It begins at night, so you must get home before that!You say your goodbyes to the only branch of the police you trust. You couldn’t have done this without Roger’s help, he’s truly a friend who you can trust. So are Judith and Cocoa, but they didn’t do much, so you gotta throw some flowers to the old man. “...You’re hell of a kid, you know that?” Roger messes with your hair after a handshake. “Indeed, even my superior is impressed by your antics. And believe me when I tell you, she’s difficult to entertain on all bases.” Judith gives you her own handshake. “And that’s to say, we could depend on all of you more, if you’re willing to.” Is she offering you a job?!“It’s fine, my mom used to say we don’t have any type of blue blood in our veins…” You’ll never forget she didn’t have anything good to say about cops… “But I’m always open to help a friend.” You wink. “Besides, you owe us an outfit check.”“Right here.” Matilda pulls out her large bag. You could fit a couple of Matildas in it. Why do you have the urge to do that? “Yes, whenever our schedules free up, I’ll make good to that promise.” Judith acts like her evil plan of getting friends is working. “We’ll have plenty of activities planned.”“By the way, did Youhao say anything or did he clam up like a coward?” Celia wants to know before leaving.“I wish he stayed quiet!” Cocoa grumbles.“Yeah, ya’ know these wannabe big shots, talking about how important they are for the delicate balance of the country, and some. It’s better if you didn’t hear it. Criminals like him will weep and moan before ever admitting shit.” Roger shakes his head. “Call your auntie later, okay? We want you around.”“R-Right, no need to tell me twice.” Celia pretends to be tough, but in a way, Youhao being a bitch is a bummer. She hides her smile at the request though. She doesn’t have to be lonely.“It’s our duty to hold him accountable, and we’ll show him that we don’t flake.” Judith reassures. “Now good trails to you all, and send my regards to the rest of your collaborators.” “We will! See ya all!” You smile and walk away from the secret office. Roger, Judith, Cocoa, and the agents wave goodbye..
>>6378084The city without its biggest criminal organization… That’s a net positive no matter how you slice it. But it’ll feel weird. “Who is ready to party?!” You open the door to your van! Crossbill, Aurora, Lydie, and Odetta! You need to go pick up Liu and Vera before going to your apartment. “Me! Me! Me! I want to feel human!” Sasha is happily jumping in the seat…Wait, what. What do you do?>“Why does Sasha look like her soul was swapped with her entity’s?” Explain the plot verbally like you’re in a movie from an expensive streaming service.>“Woah! Let’s go pick up Liu and Vera then!” Act like nothing weird is happening and move on to the best part!>“Sorry, everyone, I can’t accept this hobo.” You can’t take this new Sasha in. >Woah! For some reason the girls in the van picked up someone for the party! That’s neat! (Write-In who.)>Write In.
>>6378086>“Woah! Let’s go pick up Liu and Vera then!” Act like nothing weird is happening and move on to the best part!>Write In.Go praise your gf/fake gf on her first successful mission.
>>6378090Definitely this, she deserves it
You don’t have to process this in a way that isn’t going to sour someone’s mood, so better keep the hype you are bringing!“Yeah! Whatever that means! Wooh!” Aurora is so up for this! “Wooh! Let’s go pick up Liu and Vera then!” You totally ignore the elephant in the room as you grab a seat with the rest of the Beaniesaurs. There’s something off about this seat though, but you can’t quite put your finger on it...“Bet!” Crossbill is glad that you ignored everything like a dumbass and starts driving you off.“Did she get lobotomized or what?” Celia is playing with Sasha’s face.“I said bet, meaning we’re not delving into the moral quandaries of some hastily put together decisions! I have to keep my eyes on the road!” Crossbill shushes.“You won’t get complaints from me for driving safely.” Matilda joins in the poking with Celia. Aurora joins too. Uh oh, it’s spreading fast!“I love having human flesh!” Sasha smiles. You need to ignore this.“There’s no driving safely inside this junk...” Odetta is extremely offensive.“Sure, whatever you say, Little O.” You say it with some stank. She shows you her tongue. How childish. “Anyway, I know I should wait for when everyone is here, but since I already praised my side of the team, I want to congratulate everyone for a job well done! Especially Lydie! It’s her first mission!”“Your words produce nothing but joy, my beloved sweetheart!” Lydie spawns on your lap. She was sitting next to Crossbill, you don’t know what happened. “Your love is what fueled me to overperform beyond what is imaginable! I painted the canvas of the unseen because you’re the muse that completes me — and if I don’t see beyond the stars, who else would?!” Lydie hugs you without hesitation.“How about anyone with a telescope, hmm?” Odetta furrows her eyebrows.“Tch, you know it was my first mission too, right?” Celia is petty and reminds you. “Oh, yeah, big congrats, Celia! You did awesome!” Aurora pats Celia’s head like she’s her tiny sister. “T-Thanks? I was directing that comment to J-Johnny.” Celia doesn’t want to be petted.“Oh, that makes sense. I’d love it if he praised me too!” Aurora realizes. “I bet everyone here would!” “No.” Odetta dryly retorts.“Regardless, now that you bring it up, he’s going to praise everyone. Making it far less special.” Matilda points out the irony. “Not that I seek approval, I know my worth.” “...Don’t say that, you’re leaving me without an out.” You comment.“You already praised me, my love! But you have two meaty thighs, meaning, there’s enough space for someone else…” Lydie decides to put you in a dilemma for no reason.Great, you’re now on the spot. You gotta act accordingly.
>>6378167What do you do?>Kick Lydie off your thigh for putting you on the spot. There are consequences.>Praise Aurora!>Praise Celia!>Praise Matilda!>Praise Little O.>Kill you all by praising Crossbill, and forcing her to sit here, and leave the van without a driver. >Write In.(Last Reply of the Day, we return tomorrow!)

Normally, you’d think you have to choose wisely, but that never leads you to a good path. Part of you vehemently disagrees, the one of the so called Knowledge, but you gotta be interesting every now and then.“You know what, Rora! You have been here since the very beginning, you deserve a lot of praise!” You gotta have a soft-spot for the loyal blondie, as you invite her over to your lap! “Come over!”“M-Me?! Ya-hoo! But, like, are you sure?” Rora didn’t expect this but doesn’t hesitate to approach you. “You don’t have to say anything. I know you like me for real, and we both know I’d be here for you no matter what. We do what we do to help everyone!”“And how is that not deserving of praise? Rora, you’re the best!” You rub her shoulders as the niceties continue! You and Aurora smile at each other like you’ve known each other from birth… It’s very comfortable… “Ohohoho~! Naturally, our part of the team has all the stand outs.” Lydie brags like no other. “Welcome to the throne, Aurora!”“Excuse you, we spent all of this time with him. Of course, he’s throwin’ you a bone.” Celia huffs and puffs.“I suppose that’s true.” Matilda didn’t feel the same amount of love though.“If I had more legs, I’d have you on here.” You say as you see the disappointment in her greedy eyes. “Trust me, we go too far back not to!”“It’s not the prize that I’m interested in. Besides, I said it wouldn’t feel as special if we all get it.” Matilda remains firm in her convictions.“What’s that smell? Hmm? Is that envy?” Lydie pretends to sniff Smoltilda, but she’s too far away, and too small for this bit to be effective. Still, she feels like the superior fit girl now!“I don’t know how you all can be confident to sit there without a seat belt on this death trap.” Odetta points out. “His noodle arms ain’t going to save you from a crash.”“Thanks for the vote of confidence.” Crossbill is doing her best to drive, it almost takes all her focus.“Odetta, you trust the seat belt?” Matilda asks back. “Shit…” Odetta is afraid of becoming a ghost full time again now.“I can make up some space for you, Mat! Hop on!” Aurora ends up sitting between your legs by mistake. “Whoops. Whatever, here’s comfy too.” She smiles as her head turns around to you.
>>6378180>Praise Matilda!Subtly pat her abs
>>6378566“A-Again, what I’m interested in is —” Matilda wants to argue, but...“Just get on there.” Celia is the one who ends up pushing Matilda onto your freed leg! “You can be so annoying…”“…” Matilda doesn’t know how to react.“Shoot, we’re on equal ground again, Shinny Matilda.” Lydie will continue her one-sided rivalry. “How do you feel, Mat? Pretty comfortable, hmm?” Aurora wonders.“I-I… have little clue how you don’t feel embarrassed sitting here in front of everyone.” Matilda turns tomato.“It ain’t comfortable, got it.” Odetta wasn’t expecting your thigh to be, but with so many people trying it, she was getting curious.“Embarrassment? There’s nothing shameful about enjoying my boyfriend!” Lydie loves you so much!“Get your fat ass off Johnny, you yellow harpy.” Vera is here! And so is Liu pushing the wheelchair!“Gah! A-A vengeful spirit!” Lydie didn’t see this coming! “Oh! It’s just Veranica and the angelic Liu! Welcome! How do you get inside of a moving vehicle?”“Uhm, it’s not moving.” Liu points out as they get all the stuff inside the van. “Yeah, I told you we’ve arrived, I knew you weren’t listening.” Crossbill told everyone you’ve arrived at Fort Lydie. “Whatever, we’re heading to Johnny’s apartment!” You can’t be noisy after a day of chaos, but you will have a fun time regardless! Time to get this going!!!Soon, you’ll be at your newly renovated apartment!What do you do?!>Take a moment to speak to your hobos, and have a moment to see how your new apartment looks!>Invite everyone at your apartment building to join you at your outside BBQ.

You’re unceremoniously dropped at your apartment. As you planned, groceries had to be bought for the party, and since you mentioned that you needed a moment to talk to your roommates, welp, you ended up here alone. Some of the girls were interested in coming along, but they failed to decide who should, so Crossbill drove away. You could hear them complaining as they went away with your van…This short moment of peace and quiet will be shattered as soon as you step back into your apartment. It supposedly got renovated by Suan De, Jesse, Xavi, Rooke, and the Hostage while you were away. You don’t remember why, but it happened. You’re kinda excited to see how it looks! This place has never been much more than a dump, but a wallless dump? That’s a new low.You unlock the door to your apartment and see…Suan De?“What do you think you’re doing?” Suan De defiantly walks up to you, making you step back from the entrance — and not allowing you to even catch a glimpse as she closes the door.“W-What’s wrong? I live here.” You opened the door with your keys. You pay rent. This is your place as much as it is the hobos! “Also, happy to see that your little adventure went well.”“You want to waltz in unannounced? You have some nerve.” Suan De acts defiant as she ignores your kind words. “We worked quite hard to have this done. The least the effort deserves is a full-fledged tour.”“A tour? For me? Woohoo, bring it on!” You love the idea. She’s taken aback, she didn’t think it would be that easy to convince you. “Will you have a pocket radio? Where’s your hat? Do I get a pamphlet?” You want the full experience!“What are you babbling about...?” Suan De furrows her eyebrows. “You’re my tour guide. Have you never gone on a tour before…?” You say. “This is not what I was getting at.” Suan De is baffled.“Okay, half-ass it, whatever. If you don’t feel passionate about it, it’s your call. I’ll live here. I’m gonna get used to this. There will be no other chance before the luster dusts off into the cosmos. And if you’re fine with that, I’m fine with that too. I don’t care. I’m fine. Mundane is fine. It never had a chance to feel special. It is what it is. So, let’s do it.” You nonchalantly accept the terms.“Right…” Suan De blinks quickly. “I cannot believe Ruby was right about the tour guide nonsense...” She mutters to herself. “Hold on a moment, I’ll talk to the others…” “Then I’m getting a proper tour?” Your eyes spark like the many enemies Odetta has electrocuted.“We’ll see…” Suan De will never believe your nonsense is mundane.Suan De walks back into your new apartment that you’re not allowed to see without a proper tour guide. This is even more exciting for you than before!

>>6378987This is the last reply of the day. I'm having technical issues again. I'll have to delay the post for tomorrow! Sorry, everyone!
You patiently wait at the handrail, looking down to the parking lot — you see Double J playing wall tennis alone. You wave at him. He waves back. What an incredible interaction with your neighbor. A thought crosses your mind: He’ll never forgive you for having that bigger pair during Poker Night. After that, the door to your apartment opens…She has the radio! She has the hat! She has the uniform! She even has the overworked look of a pro! Suan De is ready to be your private tour guide!“…” Suan De sighs even if you look more excited than a puppy. “Let’s get this done with.” Suan De wants to step in already. She wholly regrets calling it a tour.“Aren’t you going to make the last call in case we’re missing someone?” You wonder.“Would that make your experience more enjoyable?” Suan De doesn’t want to ask, but does anyway.“Yes.” You nod rapidly like your dumb sister.“Everyone. Last call, before the tour begins.” Suan De doesn’t want to raise her voice.“You’re not going to use the little radio?” You wonder.“It’s an audio system. And no.” Suan De refuses. “Please, just this once.” You plead.Suan De sighs and calls for the tour to begin...“Meow!” Bradford Jr. joins! It was all worth it! Your cat is both happy to join the tour and to see you. He jumps on your shoulder.“See? It was worth it.” You wobble your eyebrows. “Right.” Suan De pets the cat once. “You all ready?”“You lost a bet. Didn’t you?” You deadpan.“What makes you say that?” Suan De wonders.“There’s no way you’d do this for me without any other reason.” You state. “I’ll just say… blame your mama.” Suan De rolls her eyes!“Thank you, anyway. Let’s go.” You smile. And now the tour begins! You start by the living room because there’s no other way you can start elsewhere, unless you sneak through a window!“We renovated the walls. Put the TV by the other wall. Added an arc to divide the areas. New carpet. New chairs. New everything. Even air conditioning.” Suan De describes the room like she’s in an auction. Everything looks brand new. And no more speed holes on your walls. You’re in disbelief…“The stench is gone.” You say. “What stench?” Suan De smells her shirt.“The Magnum Melbourne.” You respond. “N-Nevermind...”“…” Suan De looks at one of the beer cans she left by the dining table. That’s not the brand you’re talking about, she doesn’t drink it — nobody who matters that you know does. She starts coming up with her own conclusions.
>>6379291“*Ehem*, may I ask who lurks in these provinces? I’d appreciate some historical facts about this place.” You adjust your glasses and change topics.“Explain yourself, please.” Suan De doesn’t get what you’re getting at.“I heard this place is known as a dragon’s lair. Is it true? Or is this mythical creature nothing but a cute kitty?” You wiggle your eyebrows.“Never mind. I don’t want to hear it. To the next room.” Suan De beelines to your place. You match the kitty’s pace.Your room looks bigger somehow… Everything is in here. And your bed is bigger too. You wonder how.“New mattress, new desk, floor, walls, all new too.” Suan De continues following her bullet points. “As for the creatures you expect. The redhead who is usually here snuck out. Take that as you will.”“Fascinating.” You place your hand on the wall. It feels so different. It doesn’t look like it will collapse. You kinda wanna jump on the bed.“Meow…” Bradford Jr. is as excited as you are.After that, Suan De wants to walk past Ruby’s room. But you ask her what’s in there, which means you’ll explore there!“Johnny! Welcome back!” Ruby springs out of bed to embrace you with a kiss to boot! “I missed you so much…”“I missed you too. You all had fun without me, right?” You jokingly ask.“Nothing is the same without you.” Ruby puts her arms around yours, then pets Bradford Jr. As she should.“It was the room in best condition. Wallpaper is new. We changed the window, but that’s about it.” Suan De continues the tour like you and Ruby weren’t hugging.“...I’ll join the tour to not keep Suan De waiting.” Ruby doesn’t want to trouble the Slob Dragon. She tries to hide her giggling. You smile and nod back.After that, you went to the bathroom (a whole new shower was installed)! Then to the kitchen (much more spacious, counter isn’t an issue, and the pantry is bigger than ever.), and now to the two newest rooms. Yes. Two. They divided the secret room in half. One half for Suan De (the smaller one), the other bigger half for guests (Ichie.) These fit the same theming as the rest of the apartment, which you appreciate!
>>6379293“T-This is my room! Hmph, it’s not for guests!” Ichie gets mad at the tour guide.“As you can see, there are multiple beds for guests of all sizes.” Suan De ignores your newest hobo…“N-No! This bedchamber is only for me! One bed is too high at the head —in case I want that—, one is too high at the foot —in case I want that too—, and one is perfect to lie down on! Neither too high at the head nor at the foot. I need to rest on all of them before I get sleepy. I have to appreciate where I come from. I need this process!” Ichie grumbles.“As you can see, the creature here has become psychotic without guidance.” Suan De dryly explains.“She really missed you…” Ruby whispers in your ear.“Master! My teacher! You’re finally back! Oh, we can return to normalcy!” Ichie gives you a big hug.“Hugs are always free, but we saw each other yesterday. Why are you doing this?” You deadpan.“I told you she was lying.” Suan De tells Ruby.“Eeep!!!” Ichie is afraid now!“Ichie, what did I tell you...? I don’t appreciate liars.” Ruby is a little upset. Ichie hides behind you. “But why sour the mood when Johnny is here? That reminds me, we will give you space for your party. I’ll be staying with Debbie. Suan De will stay with Ajna. And Ichie will begrudgingly stay with Nariko and Yu Yan.”“That’s the end of the tour.” Suan De takes off all the random stuff she got on herself…“Meow.” Bradford Jr. claps. Somehow.You were about to get information about two of the girls’ favorite meals…What do you do?>“Well, allow me to treat you first then.” Make them something to eat before the others arrive.

>>6379294>>“You sure you don’t want to stay?” You don’t want them to leave! It’s their home too!
You clap too for the end of the tour. Though, it’s a little bit of a downer that they feel the need to leave for whatever reason.“You sure you don’t want to stay?” You know it’s their home too!“If you insist! I’d never say no to any of your brilliant ideas.” Ichie exclaims without hesitation.“I-Ichie, I’m not sure if you understand that he’s being poli—” Ruby wants to convince Ichie not to accept your offer, but! Suddenly, a suspicious trapdoor opens right next to Ichie’s feet. It was here from the beginning, you just didn’t notice. From it, a certain student council president pops out, her hands grip Ichie’s legs. You almost forgot that Nariko’s apartment is exactly down below yours.“Don’t worry, everyone! We’re taking her away!” Yu Yan salutes as she starts pulling her fellow hobo away. “Start pulling, girls!”“Huh?! W-Wait, s-stop this, I don’t want to go!” Ichie loses her balance and tries to grip her hands onto anything to no avail. “Noooooooooo~!!!” She dramatically screams as she falls through the trapdoor…Well, until her, uhm, back cushions get stuck on. It’s kind of awkward watching Ichie frenetically wailing around.“Huh?!” Ichie is confused and in a panic.“Pull harder, Nariko! Pull!” Yu Yan shouts from below the Ichie zone. Nariko shouts with all her might!“AAAAH!!!” Ichie is dragged further after she gets unstuck!Until she gets stuck again. This time is her front cushions. What are you feeding to this woman? “Those damn magumbos! Pull HARDER!!!” Yu Yan grumbles. “By the way, remember to call when you’re bored, Stud!”“NOOOOOOOO~!!!” Ichie is no more.Your hobo is pulled away into hobotopia and the trap door is sealed. You wish you didn’t see this.“W-What was that…?” Ruby can’t comprehend this.“She deserved it.” Suan De locks the trap door and gives no other words of comfort.“I’ll take that as a no…” You blink.“Johnny, please, we don’t mean to impose. Enjoy your time with your friends.” Ruby shakes her head. “We will have you all for ourselves soon enough, right? Like tomorrow?”“Absolutely!” You nod. You may try to cook their favorite! That’s your overall plan with everyone, and your lovely hobos are no exception. You want to see those smiles.“I can’t wait!” Ruby can’t contain her excitement. It’s like you sealed a guaranteed verbal contract with her… “Then, we should get going, if you need anything — you know where to find us. And don’t hesitate to call us either. I’ll be right there if you need me.”“Have your fun.” Suan De puts the tour guide hat on top of your beanie. “Heh.” She chuckles at the absurdity. You, on the other hand, think you look handsome.
>>6379376After a hug with Ruby, and a knowing nod from Suan De, the hobos part ways… to the nearest place they can be. Suan De is literally next to your apartment, and Ruby is one below you to the right. Your neighbors are too friendly!As you previously implied, at some point in your life, you want to prepare everyone’s favorite meals. Maybe this is a good opportunity to try one or two, or everyone at the party’s faves if you’re feeling greedy. The one wrench in your plan is that you don’t know what Celia and Odetta’s are. Roger should know Celia’s, and Jaylene promised to tell you Odetta’s…Time to redeem that promise! You text them both to see quick results. Only Jackson comes in clutch, and reveals Celia’s favorite is a type of lasagna. Is she related to Bradford Jr? Because you’re sure Bradford Jr. hates Mondays.“Meow.” Bradford Jr. denies it. He has no concept of time.But Jaylene is more of a problem. She’s asking you to call her so she doesn’t leave a trail of evidence behind.Guess you gotta do what you gotta do for these girls! ANOTHER FUCKING CALL TODAY! YOU LOVE THOSE.“Hello? Johnny? T-Thank you for indulging me. I hope it isn’t much trouble.” Jaylene politely answers your call.“It’s nothing.” You say.“Hehe.” Jaylene can’t sense your suffering. “Is Odetta within hearing distance?”“She’s not even in the same building as me at the moment.” You look around just in case. She’s a sneaky ghost!“Now listen closely… Odetta can’t get enough of… Dog food!” Jaylene can barely contain her laughter.You don’t know what to say, but you really doubt Jaylene meant it — because she didn’t tell you what brand or dog size. Unlike Donna.... You actually don’t want to think about this anymore. But what’s up with Jaylene?How do you respond?>“Oh you! Very funny! Can you tell me the real one, please?” Play along in this wholesome interaction.>“I didn’t know intergalactic queens like doing practical jokes.” Tease her back. You don’t know enough of her and Oliver’s lore to be certain this is an effective joke. And you’re fine with that.>“You’re messing with me, aren’t you?” Act suspicious, but not confrontational.>“Dog food it is! Thanks, Jaylene! I can’t wait to prepare this for Odetta and serve it in front of everyone! See ya!” You got what you needed, time to move on.>Write In.
>>6379377>“Oh you! Very funny! Can you tell me the real one, please?” Play along in this wholesome interaction.
>>6379377>“You’re messing with me, aren’t you?” Act suspicious, but not confrontational.>"...Dry or wet, with or without gravy."
Of course, Jaylene is messing with you. All the telltale signs are there. But if she’s being playful, maybe you should play along? She should know that you have a suspicion at least. “Dry or wet, with or without gravy?” You ask for details.“Wet with gravy. She needs all her nutrients.” Jaylene doesn’t hesitate.“You’re messing with me, aren’t you...?” You suspect her motives. “That’s right. I’m a little bit of a prankster myself! Sorry!” Even Jaylene’s shocking revelations are soft spoken. “I bet you never expected it.” “I know I should’ve called it out from the start, but I met a girl who is into pet play, and she showed me they sell fake dog food that’s actually safe for human consumption. They’re like snacks. I don’t know if they’re tasty, and I don’t want to find out quite frankly.” The lengths of role-playing go farther than you expect.“If she’s encouraging you to try it, you should!” Jaylene argues.“I’m not eating dog food.” You deadpan. “That’s not the point…” Jaylene shamelessly lies. “She was flirting with you. Hook you on a date, you know? I bet the words were jumbled inside her head.” Jaylene shows another side. “Oliver told me you’re really popular with girls who are woeful at flirting! So think about it.”“I-I guess…” You don’t think they are all that bad, right? Who is the saving grace? Grace? “Anyway, let’s get serious for a moment, and tell me… What does Odetta find yum yum?” “Hmm, she has never outright said it, but I bet my life that her favorite is takoyaki.” Jaylene reveals Odetta has cheap taste.“Huh… cool.” You don’t have the equipment for that, but you can get creative…“Just don’t ever tell her I was the one who told you!” Jaylene pleads.“Uhm, who else could’ve told me then?” You raise an eyebrow.“You found… uhm… her old website! Mhm!” Jaylene nods to herself.“And who else could’ve told me about the website aside from you?” You ask.“Huuuh…” Jaylene is scrambling for an answer. “Oh gosh, I’m doomed!”You can hear Jaylene tearing her hair apart…What’s the plan now?>Cook Celia’s favorite.>Cook Odetta’s favorite.>Cook your signature dish that isn't the cake.

>>6379767I also want to know what the Johnnyiest dish is.On a separate note, whenever Johnny finally gets into some trouble that he can't get himself out of...it's going to be great scene when a call for help goes out and like literally half the city dogpiles on whoever is giving him problems (probably Lloydington).
>>6379376Didn't we agree to a date with someone tomorrow? Wasn't it Mat?
You didn’t go out of your way to learn Celia and Odetta’s favorites to not cook them. That’d be dumb. You gotta make every single phone call count! Anyway, you give Jaylene some words of comfort, but they fall on deaf elephant ears — and the call ends as abruptly as it began. The only way to save her is to keep Little O in a good mood, so you’ll focus on that.Speaking of loose focus, it’ll feel like favoritism if you don’t cook something else. All the women are precious to you, and you gotta show it! This means one thing and one thing only: You gotta cook your signature dish!No, not the cake. The lingering effects are too much to deal with. It’s a surprise you’re even standing at all after the love gauntlet! But also, it’s a bit of pride, a legacy of love that birthed the cake into its newest ultimate form. So many contributors to the recipe that you find yourself as one part of this big generational chain. It’s an honor, but you wanna make something that doesn’t carry all that baggage. Something simply you. If it ends up being similar to what you’ve done so far, it'll be because that’s who you are, and not who you are trying to emulate.It’s a long diatribe, maybe you’re more passionate about cooking than you let on…Now the question is what is your signature dish? What kind of food will become the iconic What’s Good?™ out of all meals?!A smoothie could clear your head right now… You can only throw a wish to the sky for now...And that’s not the only thing you have to figure out, you don’t have the cookware to prepare Odetta’s damn fried octopus balls! With your neighbors’ help, you may get everything you need from the stuff you need or the inspiration… Or you can pick up the phone, order what you need, and call someone to get inspired……What do you do?>Pay a quick visit to Nariko’s apartment.

>>6380507>>6380587I'll change to this
There’s no better source of inspiration for this meal than the one girl who you started this journey for! You gotta visit your OG hobo’s apartment for this! And you’ll figure out how to get the cookware later. You'll have plenty of chances. Or maybe you’ll get it there. You’re no seer. “Meow.” With Bradford Junior’s help, anything is possible. You can’t leave the hefty guy alone after everyone left. He sits around your neck!>[Bradford Jr. joins the party!] After a short walk downstairs, you knock on the door to Nariko’s apartment instead of using the suspicious trap door inside yours… “Oh hey, stud. How is it going?” Yu Yan opens the door! A friendly smile is always what you need. She scratches Bradford Jr’s neck.“I’m pretty good.” You hunch a little to make the scratching process easier.“If you’re concerned about Ichie, let me tell you, she’s in good hands.” Yu Yan wiggles her eyebrows maliciously. Yeah, your newest hobo got abducted through said trap door. “This smile has never lied to you, right?”“Yeah, and I’m sure she is. That’s not what I’m here for though. I’m on a journey of self-discovery, and I thought Nariko could help.” You ask point and blank.“Lemme guess, it’s about food?” Yu Yan asks.“...Don’t make me look predictable. And yes, it is.” You furrow your eyebrows. “Come in. I’ll bring the cows.” Yu Yan invites you in. “Just don’t ask about Ame.”“Sure.” You nod, that makes everything easier. “Huh, by the way, do you happen to have cookware for takoyaki? I know it’s a long shot, but...”“Crap, I think Ame does. It’s whatever. We can take it from her without her realizing it.” Yu Yan crosses her arms. “Nariko, Ichie! Johnny is here!” She shouts inside.“Dear Johnny!” Nariko pops out from the couch. “You came to see me and just me?”“My dear mentor!” Ichie pops out next to Nariko. “You came to save me!”“No, he didn’t. Ruby made us sign a contract to keep you here.” Yu Yan shows the piece of paper. “I get teasing privileges, and you can’t take those away from me.” “You heard her, Ichie.” Nariko acts like a bodyguard.“T-This is unusually harsh and, dare I say, churlish!” Ichie doesn’t like this.“I’m here too. You can ask about me!” Amelia pops out between the cows. “And you should! I became a master takoyaki chef. It was quite the adventure, and I think my expertise will greatly benefit you in your side-quest.” She adjusts her glasses. She’s really having a series of side-quests when you aren’t around. “Oh, Saraswati thanks you for sending your friend to save her husband!” Your sister means Vivi’s exploits. Makes you smile a little.
>>6380834“Hmm, I came here to find my own specialty, Ame. I don’t want to borrow anyone else’s knowledge for this one.” You shake your head.“Aww, I thought I’d be useful…” Amelia laments.“You can still be!” Nariko cheers her up. “We only need to be clever about it.”“I hate to agree with Nariko, Johnny’s sister! But she’s able to be coherent every now and then!” Ichie agrees.“Ichie…” Yu Yan glares at the mean girl.“I’m far more coherent than any of your ramblings anyhow.” Nariko furrows her eyebrows just like Chio does! “But Johnny, how can I help? I want to extend my hand in any way I can!”Your muse is looking directly into your eyes, the perfect meal awakens within your soul, to make Nariko the happiest you must cook…What’s the legendary dish?!>The Nautical Cheese Patty.

That’s right! Inspiration has hit you like a helicopter flown by a drunk pilot! The eyes of your muse guide you through fire and storm into a resolution.“Nariko, you’ve done enough.” You say despite the fact nobody has done anything.“Huh? I have?” Nariko is perplexed but pleased. Everyone looks equally confused.“All I need is for you to try what I’m planning out! Oh, and your kitchen to cook it, if I may.” You almost trip from the excitement.“Go ahead, dear Johnny! Make the kitchen yours!” Nariko can’t be more excited. “If there’s anything missing, do tell. Yu Yan will be ready to stock.”“I will be? I mean, I have the app, but...” Yu Yan doesn’t remember agreeing to this, even if she gets the regular groceries nowadays.“Don’t worry, I can get what I’m missing from my own pantry.” You wiggle your eyebrows. “Right, Bradford Jr?”“Meow.” Bradford Jr. agrees.“I’ll bring you anything you need from there before the blink of an eye.” The Ichie delivery system is ready to tackle any request at super speed! “I know where everything is.” She brags to Nariko. Yu Yan pinches her cheek. Ichie is displeased. “I want jam.” Amelia blinks. “Where’s my jam? This service is wholly inefficient.”“I-I wasn’t ready, blink again!” Ichie doesn’t want to be defeated.“There’s a jar in the fridge, Jamelia.” Yu Yan pokes your sister’s stupid face. “And you can’t go back to the apartment, not even for him. I’ll go through our secret entrance to get what you need.” Yu Yan decides to be useful!“Thank you, everyone. And sorry for rushing! But I gotta make this real!” You jump right into it.With the help of the majority of your hobos, you begin assembling the most powerful meal that you’ve ever created… An expression of love, love, and love… one that should be appreciated and not rushed… Healthy, fulfilling, and mouth-watering… It’s the *Nautical Cheese Patty.* The greatest hamburger that will surpass all others…
>>6381585“Woooah~!” Nariko and Ichie’s eyes are sparkling at the sight of the burger. It really doesn’t look anything special. It’s a homely meal, after all. They’re dancing around it like forest creatures, though.“That’s it? All that for just a burger? There are burger joints everywhere...” Amelia expected a gourmet dish. “And it has pickles. Ew.” As picky as always…“Nariko likes ‘em. I’d say try it out first, but you're a headstrong dummy.” Yu Yan chuckles as she plays with Amelia’s fake bear ears. “C’mon, Mooriko. Try it out, we can see the fatty waterfall from here.”“E-Enough, short one.” Nariko covers her mouth. “Go ahead, Nariko!” You’re ready to take a pic of her smile!“Here I go.” Nariko sizes the burger up before giving it a big bite! “…!!!” Nariko ascends. Literally. She’s sparkling in the air like a deity. And she’s oh so shiny. Her joy has materialized into her becoming a beacon of happiness. She’ll never taste anything as good as this, unless you give her another one.You’re all kinds of dumbfounded…>>What do you do?>Try to bring Nariko back to earth. Remind her of her Moo-manity.>Take a pic, send it to Chio. You know, for posterity. >Feed the burger to Yu Yan. You doubt she’s going to have the same reaction, but you need someone to tell you if it’s edible.>Feed the burger to Ichie.

>>6381586>>Force your dipshit sister to eat it. She’ll eat the pickles alone if she refuses.She talked too much shit for my liking.
You take a picture of Nariko in this state and send it to Chio, you know, for posterity’s sake. But even this material evidence doesn’t tell the whole story. Is it yummy? Is it not? Nariko looks like she’s in bliss, but you don’t know for certain if she’s being dramatic and it’s a passable burger, or if it’s the best thing ever created. You can’t be sure if it’s edible either…...Unless you do more tests. You have to make sure this burger is loved by all hobos!“She really ballooned up.” Yu Yan is mesmerized by the incoherent sight. Maybe she’s thinking Nariko could hold one of her presidential signs.“Is she O.K. …?” Amelia tries to pull Nariko down, but she ends up clinging on her leg like it’s a rope.“Eh, she’s being dramatic, that’s all. Gotta bring her down anyway; we might go through the floor though.” Yu Yan grabs onto Nariko’s other leg like a monkey to help. These undersized featherweights have no results to show. You get the feeling they want to hang in there for fun. Speaking of results...“This doesn’t tell me much.” You lament that Nariko’s reaction is half incomprehensible. You bet she loved it, but it continues to be a wild guess. You need certainties. “Ichie, would you mind taking a bite?” You offer the Nautical Cheese Beef.“I’d never reject one of your offers, my dear mentor...” Ichie’s eyes are on the burger. “But I can be quite harsh as a critic. Are you prepared?” Her mouth is watering. Her self control is akin to a well behaved dog.“Huh, absolutely. I wouldn’t want it any other way.” You can’t decline even if you felt otherwise. Those eyes are begging for a taste of your succulent burger! “Here.” You hand one over.“Thanks for the meal!” Ichie grabs a bite and begins munching at a slow pace. “Hmmm…” Ichie gauges the bun for a moment, but then grabs another bite… tears begin forming... “This is the most delicious meal I’ve ever eaten… *sniffs*… your untarnished feelings are conveyed with each ingredient… *sniffs*… it’s a nefarious act to let this poem of kindness through my mortal coil…”“Ichie, it’s just a burger. And you deserve it.” You deadpan.“Y-Your love is too pure…!!!” Ichie can’t contain your unfiltered love! “I’ll repay you, Johnny, I swear…!” She solely focused on enjoying the burger... “Yu Yan, want one too?” You offer the mysterious burger of love.“Sure, we aren’t making any progress anyway.” Yu Yan jumps from Nariko’s leg to where you’re standing. “Besides, with these two being all dramatic, I can’t tell how good it is.”“Fine! I’ll handle this all on my own! Grrrr!!!” Amelia tries to pull down Nariko to no avail.“Gotta admit upfront, stud, it’s hard to decline a good burger.” Yu Yan comes clean.“That’s the idea. Here you go. Enjoy it!” You feed your lightest hobo!
>>6381663“Hmm, nice bun, toasty. Melty cheese too, that’s a winner. Don’t know what the sauce is, but you got something here. Hmm, yeah, that’s one hell of a juicy patty.” Yu Yan gauges her first bite. “You really know what you’re doing, right, stud?”“What can I say? I was pretty inspired.” You act a little smug.“And this is inspiring me to give you a big kiss. You’re looking tasty tonight too…” Yu Yan starts reflecting with the burger in hand. “Hmm, you know what? This burger tastes like a kiss. Err, feels like one? Plus the other thing you do when… uhm, I shouldn’t say that in front of Ame. She gets all freaky about it.”“Trust me, I know. I wish I didn’t, but I know.” You glare at your sister. She growls back. “Don’t growl at me.”“Then help me put Nariko down!” Amelia grumbles.“Sounds like you’re killing her.” Yu Yan chuckles and decides to focus on the burger. “Don’t get it wrong, stud. This shit is good.”You pull Nariko down. Pull. Not put. Finally, the OG hobo reflects on the meal.“This is the best meal I’ve ever had in my entire life.” Nariko is in heaven. That’s mission accomplished. “Just like the burger conveyed, I love you too, Johnny. And thanks for pulling me down, Ame.”“No problem.” Tactical Amelia salutes.“Don’t confess your love while eating a burger, you cow.” Yu Yan shakes her head. “This is the opposite of romantic, and you supposedly love that shit.”“R-Regardless, I believe we all agree this experiment is a complete success!” Nariko praises you.“Hell yeah! Long live the Hoboburgers!” Yu Yan exclaims!“Hoboburgers! Hoboburgers! Hoboburgers!” Ichie starts clapping. Everyone but you joins in the clapping.“...I don’t like that name.” You worked your ass off for this, you are not going to let them name it something stupid.“Then don’t only feed it to hobos.” Amelia argues back.“Meow.” Bradford Jr. wiggles his cat eyebrows. He says he’s not a hobo…This is part of your meal plan for later, you bet Matilda is going to love this one. Because it’s totally surpassing hers! And with Odetta and Celia’s favorites in the bag, the upcoming party will be the biggest hit…>>What do you do?>Deny the name Hoboburger. You had a cool graphic, you can’t let this stand!>Feed the burger to more hobos. All of them need to approve it. Ruby should like this one...>Feed the burger to more hobos.

Regardless of what your newest masterpiece is called, you need all the hobos’ seal of approval. Ruby and Suan De must grab a bite!“A-Amelia, we’re calling it Hoboburger because a hobo made it.” Yu Yan clarifies.“Are you saying Johnny is a hobo?” Amelia is very confused.“Magumbos Jr. here told us he hasn’t slept at his apartment all that much.” Yu Yan points at Ichie.“It’s quite tragic...” Ichie nods. “Wait, what did you call me, friend...?”“It’s hard for us to imagine that scenario, he loved to return home when we were around.” Nariko gets petty. Ichie doesn’t like it. But before they start bickering, your sister has your back! “That doesn’t make him a hobo!” Your sister argues.“Maybe a hubbo?” Yu Yan wonders. “The hubboburger…” Nariko likes it.“No puns!” Amelia growls.“Yeah, no puns.” You agree with your sister for once. “It’s actually called the Nautical Cheese Patty.”Yu Yan places her hand over your shoulder. “Sorry, I don’t think anyone is calling it that.” She knows what this means to you, so she’s being as gentle as she can.“Aw, man…” You look down.“It’s delicious, Johnny! That should be your focus!” Nariko doesn’t want you to have your head down.“Yeah, spread the joy around or something!” Yu Yan agrees. “Else these two are going to eat ‘em all, and we don’t want them rounder than they are. By the way, anyone else feelin’ a lil’ hot...?”“Now that you mention it…” Nariko is turning tomato rapidly.“Just a little…” Ichie chomps her burger. She and Yu Yan aren’t done eating their burgers…“Anyway, off you go. Here’s the stuff you needed.” Yu Yan hands you the takoyaki cookware. “And a kiss for good travels.” She skips to kiss your cheek! “Now go! You said you had to go fast!”“Well then.” You smile. “Uh, can I use the trap door?”“Meow.” Bradford Jr. is curious about the trap door too.“Huh, sure!” Yu Yan will lead you to your apartment.“Next time make one that isn’t contaminated with pickles…” Amelia requests.“Not gonna happen, a receipt is a receipt.” You argue. Your sister pouts. Everything is right in the world as you go through the trap door…“Good bye, Johnny! I’m glad I was able to help you!” Nariko waves goodbye as you part ways. Ichie follows suit. You deeply appreciate what they’ve done for you!Now back at your apartment, you must continue to seek the approval of all the hobo girls for this burger. Plus, you need to start preparations for the party. Anything is possible with the assistance of Bradford Jr.! You send an urgent message to Ruby and Suan De as the patties fry, you need a big favor…They’re knocking on the door... You have the feeling your burger is going to be a big hit with more athletic women...
