So, y'know, I don't have to spend money on hair dye now.
[She's typing this up while the rest of her team is getting ready to go off into the gate]
Proxy, I've been requested to assist with the clearing of a dungeon gate. Danger assessment S-rank, as per the Seoul categorization system.
I'm working with many Black Order members, some former teammates, and several other high powered individuals have arrived to clear the dungeon- so I don't expect many issues. But just in case something goes wrong, I'm sending you the coordinates.
[Coordinates sent! Considering how many times Proxy has had to get the Cunning Hares out of jam, she just feels it should be protocol to let Belle know where she's going]
Also you guys should check out the new HUNTR/X album. It's very good. I'm going to test it's combat utility this mission, so I'll let you know how that goes.
good work, Anby! Eous and I will be on standby not too far away. I'm unsure if we'll be able to get inside once your mission begins—it doesn't seem to work like a Hollow—but even if we can't, stay in contact if it's possible.
oh I love their new album it's great! Golden is soooo catchy.
[Attached is a link to Random Play's official Letterboxd profile. There are ten new rec lists and many, many new and in-depth reviews of various movies.]
usually I put up one new rec list a month. This is...a little out of the ordinary.
[Well. Harumasa finds himself in a situation with Jun and Ragna. He manages to snap a blurry photo of Nineveh sending an attack at Jun while Agent Gulliver is getting into position. Ragna looks to be preparing an attack against the flower Ethereal.
It is now the glorious return of text-to-speech Harumasa!]
WHY IS NINEVEH HERE AND JUNE INCOMING HORNETS! RAG NANA ON YOUR SIX!
I was really hoping to avoid operation reaper all over again. This sucks. Refund.
[It has been a long, harrowing week after Gilgamesh's party, but his follow up talk with the man eventually came and he's happy to report:]
Everyone. I have officially been contracted by Sir Gilgamesh to plan and design menus for sporadic events throughout the year. This will not affect my job at the Vogue, but I am happy to report I am no longer contracted out to various cruise lines in the spring.
Thank you all for your support. Coming to that party truly meant everything to me.
And also...for being my muses. It could not be done without such steadfast companions like yourselves.
[Oh, thank the gods. Harumasa has been worried that maybe his vision of Lycaon's future employment might have been wrong. He's so happy to see that the dodgeball continues to loom large behind him at all times.]
Congrats, Lycaon! I'm really glad we get to see you year-round instead!
Wish I could've been there as a normal guest instead, but I'm glad I could be there at all for you.
The lemon drink you made with me in mind was honestly beautiful. I wasn't expecting it, but thank you for thinking about Apollo and I as inspiration for your menu! You even included my electro quivers!
Ah, thanks for the heads up. We'll be sure to order food this movie night then. If you have any recommendations for what makes a suitable spread for horror movies, I'd like to hear them.
Haru-chan and Lighter, please take good care of Lycaon.
[It's a full day after returning from the Carnival that Anby sends out the message- as after she finally got home she had proceeded to crash and catch up on so much needed sleep. But after a conversation with Lycaon, she decides she should speak up.]
Anby Demara Status Report.
I have returned from a mission in El Nido. There was a Baron who had a pact with a demonic plant. He and the plant were using various tactics to drive wedges between people, and then kill them when they split off from the group. In addition to those who went to investigate, several app users were dragged into the realm as well including Lycaon and Hugo.
I survived with only some injuries that were healed by POKEGO member Dan Heng. The Baron has been eliminated.
Unfortunately, Hugo and Lycaon were killed during the mission- albeit they were resurrected at the end. All the revived seemed to be back in one piece but
Lycaon just asked me to pick up an order of Five Guys for him to eat, which is out of character for him, I'm worried that mentally he may not be alright.
Are you okay, Anby?? I'll message them too and check on them, because you're right: getting Five Guys is VERY out of character for Lycaon. But I'm worried about you as well. Even if your injuries were healed, that's still a lot to go through.
[He'd ask for Haru for permission to access his chat. Normally he rather not tread into Haru's social spaces, but he has a task and this feels like the best way forward]
Sorry to bother you all, I assure you I'll keep my presence here brief. I just simply have a request for many of you, if you'd be willing to hear me out.
I'm Jun Nightroad. Some of you already know I'm Shroud, a holy knight for the Lord. Though, I'm sure most of you more likely knows me as... "Haru's cute little brother"
[It physically pained him to write that]
Anyway, I came not for my own sake but for another. There is a young god, the current incarnation of Hermes. At this time, they don't have any divine memories or knowledge, so they're trying to learn how to be a god by meeting with other gods. Not only that, but they went through a rather traumatic ordeal last year, so they're rather scared of the world.
Since many of you have connections with gods, and experience with trauma- I thought you could help.
Hello Jun. Please do not worry--you are more than welcome to contact us. You are Harumasa's family after all, and a good friend.
I see you have also noticed this about Messenger Hermes. I have had contact with them over the course of the past few months, and what you speak of is my experience with them as well. I've tried to boost their confidence in the ways I could, but it's proved fruitless.
[Trying to teach them that people should get rewarded for jobs they do is difficult.]
I am afraid I have no skill in this area, as I am not bound to any god. However, if there is a way I can assist, I will do everything in my power to.
I want to see Hermes be the god I know they can be.
[It's rare for Lycaon to not send text before a photo. He was a man who liked to explain things in full first. There's a first time for everything, though.
Lycaon sends a picture of the Vogue, specifically the bar. Or it would be, were it not flooded in small bronze coins that could make a certain old duck from a show about his tales blush. It's literally a sea of coins.
It's Mora. There's so much Mora. There's more Mora that couldn't even make it into the frame.]
It seems the Vogue gained a new venue while we were in that whole Thanksgiving debacle. It now has the framework for a restaurant.
I've been asked to take the helm for it. [He sends a picture of a mostly empty and barebones subsection of the Vogue, just waiting to be decorated and accessorized.]
I've asked Sir Zulius and he confirmed that schedule wont change, only my position, and that I can have a bar in the restaurant should I want to continue with making drinks.
[Harumasa posts a photo of a small river otter with a collar that looks suspiciously like Harumasa's choker. A very excited river otter at that. Looking closely, the otter might have gold irises? Maybe?]
I woke up from my afternoon nap and found myself changed into an otter!!!
[He's so excited that he can't even be depressed right now.]
Just wanted to give a head's up that two of my brothers are taking me to visit Flins' lighthouse for the weekend. He got an actual house if you missed the dramatic crash out on the Zodiac post~. We'll be staying for about three days before coming back to the Meropide.
Just in case anyone's worried, Jun and Flins' partner made sure everything's good for me to stay there comfortably. Cassie, my service dog, will also be with me~.
[Thank god for Jun's notebook present because if not for that Lighter wouldn't remember his passwords for the app. He needed to borrow Maxima's phone for this but, well, he thought sooner was better than waiting to get to the fortress.]
... Hey guys.
[Look who's decided to show back up after over three weeks.]
I got back into town late last night. I didn't want to leave you all hanging for any longer.
[...]
I know I've got a lot of explaining to do and a lot of apologies to give. I know you're all probably angry with me. We'll be back at the Fortress later. Once I'm there I can say it proper but.

It appears a box of fireworks has found its way into my spice cabinet.
I have no leads on the reason, but I have narrowed it down to a prank, a threat, or third party error.
Due to the lack of space, I have lost 61 spices. [Yes, he counted.]
The missing spices are listed below:
Ajwain - Alligator - Pepper - Allspice - Amchoor
Anise - Aromatic Ginger - Asafoetida - Black Cardamom
Black Peppercorn - Camphor - Cassia - Cayenne pepper
Celery seed - Charoli - Chenpi - Chili Pepper - Cinnamon
Coriander seed - Dill seed - Dried Lime - East Asian Pepper
Fennel - Fenugreek - Fingerroot - Garlic - Ginger - Grains of Paradise
Grains of Selim - Greater Galangal - Green - Horseradish
Juniper berry - Kokum - Korarima - Lesser Galangal - Liquorice
Mace - Mahlab - Mango-ginger - Mastic - Nigella - Nutmeg
Paprika - Peruvian Pepper - Rose - Sansho - Sarsaparilla
Sassafras - Sesame - Shiso - Sumac - Tasmanian Pepper - Tonka bean
Turmeric - Vanilla - Wasabi - White Peppercorn - Yuzu - Zedoary
Zereshk - Zest
I will be replacing 60 of them. But I still remain with what looks to be at least four hundred dollars worth of explosives in my cabinets.
Text | UN: DelicatelyFrail
Some of those are REALLY expensive!
I'm just guessing, but at least the saffron survived?
Second most important question: what are you going to do with all of those fireworks???

UN: Anby | Text | Filtered AWAY from Hugo and Lycaon
Anby Demara Status Report.
I have returned from a mission in El Nido. There was a Baron who had a pact with a demonic plant. He and the plant were using various tactics to drive wedges between people, and then kill them when they split off from the group. In addition to those who went to investigate, several app users were dragged into the realm as well including Lycaon and Hugo.
I survived with only some injuries that were healed by POKEGO member Dan Heng. The Baron has been eliminated.
Unfortunately, Hugo and Lycaon were killed during the mission- albeit they were resurrected at the end. All the revived seemed to be back in one piece but
Lycaon just asked me to pick up an order of Five Guys for him to eat, which is out of character for him, I'm worried that mentally he may not be alright.
That's the end of my report.
text; un: belleoftheboulevard

... Hey guys.
[Look who's decided to show back up after over three weeks.]
I got back into town late last night. I didn't want to leave you all hanging for any longer.
[...]
I know I've got a lot of explaining to do and a lot of apologies to give. I know you're all probably angry with me. We'll be back at the Fortress later. Once I'm there I can say it proper but.
I'm sorry for leaving the way I did.
UN: anby | voice
It's okay, I'm just glad to see you're okay.
[...]
Also Nicole might be sending you an invoice.

I've got Eous on the way to the Fortress. With luck we'll find something.

Belle, I know it's hard. But I need you to breathe for me.

I do hope this is a sign of good things to come.
How shall we spend it?
