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.]

we can totally look forward to getting back
at least we know some of the changes from the internet
hopefully not much has changed outside of those things

[revlon]

We're the only ones who noticed the differences, too.

[mercurio]

us getting to be the ones to notice changes or being in the middle of changes isn't so new though is it?
guess we gotta look out for what that means

[revlon]

You're too right, Prompto. On both counts. If we're the only ones who recall how things were before, perhaps your camera will be even more crucial now.

i got some stuff on my cooltalk but there's like thousands of other pictures i haven't uploaded anywhere
pick my brain any time if there's something in particular you need looking for
can't promise anything with regards to the monster from before since that was before my time, but... anything else, could be game

We compile a list of possible subjects or references we'd want to keep an eye on, perhaps loop in our resident hackers to set up a system to flag the relevant posts. It won't be a catch-all and things may slip through the cracks, but it's a start.

As is picking your brain, as you've said. Your generosity is always appreciated, Prompto.

I know you are. Thank you. I'll look into the matter once we're all back in New Amsterdam.
