Thank you to Yalena for getting us sorted. [Sort of sorted. Sort of.] Now that we've arrived in New Tokyo and we're stuck inside for a little while, I think we should talk about some new changes that we're facing. I can't be the only one.

But first: a good number of us are here unwillingly, but we have to wait until we're fully prepped before we can go anywhere. Heading outside in these temperatures while unprepared could cost you your life. We all hate being trapped somewhere. I think that's pretty well-established. We also hate having to do anything or be anywhere when we didn't ask for that to happen. At least it doesn't seem like we were drugged, though it wouldn't hurt for Katelin and I to take some blood samples to confirm that. We'll have to store them until we get back.

As for the changes in your lives: have you noticed any? For instance, apparently I'm a lab tech at Giles Bell. I tried to set myself up for a new internship there that I could get easily, but I got ... elevated. Or hired beyond that? I'm not sure what the right terminology is here. Has anyone else noticed this? Or had it happen to them? I got permissions to take leaves from both of my jobs. And no, I'm really not prepared to work as a lab tech. I don't even know the first thing about setting up gels.

As a bit of a personal request ... does anyone think we can make pancakes in the small kitchen here? I have a craving for them. I've not really had cakes of the "pancake" variety before, but I want them now. And if you think we can, can you make them?

[This last bit is Loki's fault.]

[oh, but he really did enjoy working on the trains and the like. but -- whatever, he'll figure all this out later. his whole life seems to be on an uphill race for a revamp since waking up.]

dunno how to feel at you knowing about that

what kind of "mundane tasks" do you think i'll be doing

[ask about the job AFTER accepting the job, what an idiot]

You posted your distress call to the entirety of the network. Why wouldn't I know of it?

I suppose we'll know better once I settle in. But if it's anything like being a Chancellor... perhaps taking notes during meetings, virtually filling out less important paperwork forms in duplicate (or triplicate), sending messages and memos, bringing me breakfast. That sort of thing.

[Can you imagine Ardyn making his usual dismissive hand gestures right about now? Because he is.]

[mercurio]

oh right, i did do that

[LMAO LISTEN,,]

i guess those sound easy enough
but you're not going to just make them "easy enough" are you?

[hope to NOT see you around]
