( WELCOME BACK, TRAVELERS. )
There's nothing but the clatter of train tracks, and the odd feeling of almost floating.
When you wake, it's hard to tell exactly what it is that you're missing - only that you are. There are pieces that aren't quite right, even if you're not sure where those pieces would normally be. Pieces of what, exactly....? Well, if you had to put a word to it, it would be - yourself, probably. Or did you get something back recently? In addition, characters will find that they've been allowed to bring back souvenirs from this most recent trip - trinkets, nothing violent, but items that can fit in your character's pockets, whether that be sentimental or otherwise.
The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. For those who have been here a while, they might notice some expansions. Though it just as easily seems that the only form of welcome or explanation that you have, comes from nothing more than a slab of marble.
It might've changed since the last time you saw it. Today it reads:
You might have changed since the last time you saw yourself too - perhaps with a new emblem on your clothes, or a portrait on your skin. In addition to that, it seems like Home Base is on the fritz again…?
It seems that suddenly and at random, characters will be able to suddenly see visions of memories that aren't their own flash before their eyes. Pieces of your lives or where you were before this will suddenly slam into other's heads, as clearly as if they experienced the event and the feelings themselves. You might have an inkling of where your memory went and what it was - but you'll need to talk it out with that person in order to recollect it in all its strength back to yourself. Don't you want to keep those precious parts of yourself? It's best if you don't fall more to pieces while you're here. (Memories that have been lost in fragments cannot be sent to others - that's more fun for the future!)
There's no need to fret that much though. You've already gone through the ordeal once, and you might be able to see results from it. Or maybe you'll get a glimpse of where you're going next. Even so, it's best that you don't get too comfortable, because there is still the unshakeable feeling:
There's still much more ahead of you.

(*´ω｀)o That wasn't so bad, was it?
Hey, you know how that old song goes?
Do you believe in magic? (☆▽☆) Do ya?
Hope you found what you were looking for!

there might be a slight skip in her step as she exits, donning a yukata in accordance with the setting. she does love finding capable people to hire. there's an attempt to towel dry her long, long hair as she sees him and goes to join him.]
Thank you very much for your help, and please pardon my less than pristine state. [seeing people with her hair still damp.... her maids would cry. she would cry if it was any situation but this one.] I hope you weren't waiting long?
no subject
--no, he can't think about stupid shit like that right now. this is clearly why people should get dressed accordingly for interviews. well, he's going to take her seriously no matter how she's dressed, so. ]
Oh, no, it wasn't a bother at all.
[ he offers her the bottle of milk as promised. it's a little silly offering a kiddie drink like that while talking about business, come to think about it. ]
See, I'd say "let's get down to business", but I'm not exactly sure what you're going to hire me for. It's not as if you could pay me in cash when all the amenities here are free.
[ LIKE... WHAT'S THE POINT ]
no subject
It would depend on what you would like, I suppose. Presuming that we are able to return to our homes even briefly at the end of all this, I should be able to procure a gem or something of value that could be sold in exchange for a sizable sum of yen even when you return to - modern Japan, isn't it? Ah, how jealous I am...
[but she won't linger on that. she can hardly entertain the idea of going back to that life]
I merely feel as though work should be given reward, and if you continue to produce results, it would be a boon for me to know that there are trustworthy and effective people to keep in my employ. Consider it akin to working together, with mutual benefit.
If you miss working, and I miss it as well - why not resume our previous positions to the best we are able? Perhaps we might even be able to regain those fragments of ourselves that are supposedly missing.

[ OH, SHE... REALLY MEANS BUSINESS... he's feeling sluggish all of a sudden. no - he's feeling faint from all the work he's going to do in the middle of his isekai adventures. it's like being given a set of questions from a teacher for a school trip and expecting it to be done after said trip's over. whyyyyy ]
With all due respect, working together to gather data in the next world ain't gonna be easy. Like, Wei Wuxian and I planned on doing it before we entered Algos, but I was the only guy who remembered the objectives of the mission while Wu was practically seducing me to kill him for the vine 'cause he was integrated in that world without remembering any of our plans. I had no choice but to solo until the world's done.
[ it was real lonesome, okay! he literally had to end wwx's life for data...
itaru chugs down the milk as if it was the best shot of wine he's had in years. ]
Basically, if the both of us were to be, uhh... I guess we could call it "reincarnated" in that world, we won't get any data done. Best case scenario is for both of us to retain our memories of right now, but there's a fifty-fifty chance of ether of us being taken in by that world. I just found out that there's an RNG factor when it comes to the number of people who'd think they're born in that specific world, so we don't even know where to start with that.
no subject
Oh, but. I won't deter you from paying me with actual cash once this isekai's 100% completed. I could totally use the money for whaling. And... I guess I could show you around modern Japan too? I bet you miss playing all sorts of games and watching your fave shit since, huh.
[ this poor girl... and curse notsco for not having any way of entertaining themselves with animanga crap. he'd take shitty bootlegs at this point. ]
no subject
If there's any new dating sims or outcomes that have been particularly enjoyable, I simply insist that you not breathe a single word to me. Even without the risk of spoilers, I've gone so many years without playing them now, I'm almost afraid how avid I'd be over them again if I got a taste....
[SHE'S LIVING IN AN OTOME NOW, but she never sees any of the love interests because they're actually shitty, it's fine.
though aside from that, she'll just manage a smile as she opens up her own milk, tilting her head]
And so it is why I hope to enlist as many people to work together as possible moving forward - if even five of us were to remain ourselves, that will have to be enough. Beggars cannot be choosers, as it were, and I dislike the concept of a large margin for error. Beginning with the data that you and I collect, with what we have, it can at least build momentum and some concept of how to move forward.
Even if it is not easy, it has to be done for all of our sakes. Is that not reason enough to work toward it?
[SHE RUNS ON IDEALISM, DATA, AND EXTENSIVE PLANNING - and something in her tone says that she'll be doing this whether itaru helps her or not.... she would just very much appreciate a second set of eyes to help where possible.]
no subject
You sure are driven for someone who just arrived here a few weeks ago, huh.
[ man, the more she talks, the more he's reminded of her director at home, and how much he actually wants to go home after their stint here is done... whenever that is. he takes another swig of his milk, and: ]
Well, Wu would probably appreciate another set of eyes with our research. Only problem is that he's been integrated in this world twice since we met, so I'm not so sure with the odds of him retaining memories in the next run. Still, you should keep an eye out for him either way - he's kinda like the exposition chara where he gives you bits and pieces of what each world is like.
It really won't be easy, 'specially with the RNG against us but... You can count me in. [ this is obviously an event flag in disguise, though iris's conviction might have something to do with it. itaru does have the data she'd need, after all. ] Does this mean you're my boss now or something? Either way, we can talk about my worldly salary some other time.
[ HE SHOULD BE PAID FOR EVERY WORLD THEY GO IN, OBVIOUSLY, ]
no subject
the question makes her smile though, confident and assured]
I suppose I am your new boss, at least for your temporary employment. ♥ Welcome to the Azuta Corporation, it'll be a pleasure working with you. Regular feedback from employees is encouraged, as nothing will make a company stronger than communication and allowing the experts to say what they must.
Feel free to continue to address me as Iris, no formal speech needed or desired. Even if some days I might miss being called 'my lady' more than expected.... [though she's just teasing, if the overly wistful tone in her voice is anything to go off of]
If there's anything you might need or want, simply say the word. I try my best to look after those who agree to be mine, even if for a short time.
no subject
[ YOU KNOW WHAT, he can play along with this. itaru doesn't hate his day job in the least, given that he was paid and treated by his coworkers and bosses fairly well, and he can assume that iris is one of those easy to work with, diplomatic types. ]
Mm, sounds good to me. Even though I'm yours for a limited time, we'll get to the bottom of this together, one way or another. Though you might want to grind for more mats if you want me to stay on permanently.
[ kind of like how you have to fulfill certain requirements in order to make him join the team after the event's over. the niggling thought about the RNG factor of what they're going to be in the next worldhop continues to loom over him, but he's going to tap iris's bottle of milk with his for a toast anyway. ]
Here's to working with you, Iris.
