[ Limbus party (yay)

Yuri is on the couch with the remote, wondering if she should watch some shorts on the TV. She has a practice sword with her at her side among other things in her pocket... she's really working hard to stay alive. ]

Did you two talk with the returnees today? It sounds like they went to The City somehow...

[dropoffs]

[ anyways someone invited this person here so... here they are... resting and unhelmeted, though there is a familiar helmet just resting on the edge of a table nearby. it's been a long day spent in the medbay overseeing treatments for the multiple returns so they are just going to flop onto a couch with a soft "oof" and henpeck away a little at their i.r.i.s. you may continue with your connect 3. ]

[applebough]

[ ?

Yuri goes to see who that is, since she hasn't seen them before, but then she finds the helmet...

... ]

Io...?

[inequals]

[ Goes to establish some things. ]

Oh, I haven't. I was kinda busy.

What, like how me, Lucy, Don, and Deedee went to Harley's place?

[inequals]

Ohh, you do have a face under there after all!

[ Come and play Connect 3 with them wtf? ]

[applebough]

That was Harley's...?

[ :cathuh:

Yuri thinks about this for a moment. ]

So sometimes they pull a number of us into one of our home worlds? That's...

[ She shakes her head. ]

From what I heard so far, it sounded like they replaced some of your team members, as if they were there all along. Was that a similar experience with yours, Rodya?

[inequals]

Yeah! She was all shocked and yelled "I'm from Gotham!" or something like that when I told her what happened.

Uhh... well in mine, we ended up getting hired out to act as a kind of Task Force X? I don't think any of us replaced Harley, but I don't know much about her friends from back home.

Maybe it's more cosmomagnet-stuff again...

[dropoffs]

[ ... hello miss yuri. they will glance up from their screen at the sound of their callsign and turn to offer her a brief nod. ] That'd be me.

[applebough]

[ :O!

But then Yuri remembers what Io usually does and the catastrophe that happened today. ]

... Good work today. You must be tired.

[applebough]

Throne described to me the scenario of the mission that I went with your company. The G Corp remnants, the abandoned L Corp building, Enkaphalin... the apple.

[ ... ]

She said that she saw Temenos getting eaten by the apple, but that wasn't exactly real, since Temenos was with us.

[inequals]

Oh yeah... I mean, I saw Vitya rip off his shirt and scream like a maniac in the asylum, so. And I also saw --

[ Actually, nevermind. She cuts herself off before that one. ]

Anyway, seeing stuff play out that doesn't really happen, that also happened with ours.

[applebough]

Yet the injuries are real...

[ .............. ]

They even had access to EGOs. I saw Ms. Baiken wearing something very similar to what I remember... I thought she was wearing the EGO suit of the Forsaken Murderer.

[dropoffs]

[ connect 3... help. they just look up at the comment and snort a little bit. ] Yes, I thought for my next trick, I should have 2 eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Ta-da. [ a small smile. ] Surprise.

[inequals]

It's working out pretty well for you. Why hide a cute face under all that tinted glass?

[ Oh you NPCs and your Mysteries. ]

[inequals]

Wait, but it's not a real E.G.O., right?!

[ Otherwise she's gonna be like What Da Heck!! ]

[applebough]

I haven't seen these before, but the list I got were Capote, Screwloose Wallop, and Holiday. I think the groups were separated into two and that one of them was what I mentioned before, and the other one was infiltrating the Tingtang gang for some reason...?

[ They're just infamous for their hawaiian shirts, mostly. Wish canisters? No. Hawaiian shirts. ]

[inequals]

[ It's definitely the Hawaiian shirts. ]

...

[ Ah. Even as silly as she is most of the time, she can put two and two together. She just goes silent for a moment. ]

[applebough]

[ Yeah.

Yeah...

Yuri will let Rodya have this moment of silence. ]

Charles, Shoma, and Ms. Lovelace were in that group, if you would like to talk about it with them.

[inequals]

[ It's fine! She regains her spunk pretty quick, like Yuri didn't say anything weird at all. ]

Maybe, it'd be fun to know what kind of weird stuff they got up to in J Corp anyway.

The Tingtang Gang should be under right now though, so I think it's less about just going there, and more liiike... hmm... I compared my experience to living out an Identity, and that sounds like it might be more on the nose than I thought.

So maybe it is the same as Addie's mission and it's cosmo-waves after all.

[applebough]

[ She's trying to think really hard... ]

... Sorry, but who is Addie?

[dropoffs]

[ oh. a small smile. they just ] ... Thank you. Glad there's a bit of time to rest now. Good work to you too, this week. There was a lot of work to do on that planet.

[inequals]

Ohh -- Adrastea. It's kind of a mouthful otherwise, you know?

That other group that left while we were off in Gotham.

[applebough]

Oh, the one with the dangerous plants...

[ Why are missions like this. Hey. Why are they like this!! ]

Isn't this concerning though? I think they could have died...

[ Some of these people are not fit for The City?? LOOK AT SHOMA... ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. ]

I'm glad it was enough for the crew to handle.

[ But now that she thinks about it... ]

Do senior members typically have too much work on Wednesdays? I don't think I've seen any of you at the afterparty or anything.

[dropoffs]

[ she's just like this she's just LIKE THIS. a very quiet laugh. ] My contract normally, but we've decided largely to see just how much of it we can bend. [ we goin rogue...... ]
