The year is 2018 and the Red Scare is alive and kicking. Worlds collide as we're brought here under mysterious circumstances, given gifts we couldn't dream to prepare for. Trapped without hope for escape we ask ourselves - will we ever see our homes again? Our loved ones? Will we embrace our new lives and is it a question of when - not if - that these powers turn on us? So many questions, and yet the biggest mystery is something else entirely.

Best burger joint. Give me your suggestions. Bonus points for cheap menus.

Guess we really do have to live every day like it's our last.

Who's your boss?

[couldbebeautiful]

Ken Kaneki. He's collected a lot of information over the years, I can send you a link to what he put together so far.

You could make a novel out of it. I'm not too sure on the quality, but hey, people here will buy anything that features imPorts in some way.

[burger_king]

That'd be great, thanks.

Hey, if it can get me out of this waiter job I don't mind selling out for mass market appeal.

[Attached with the message are two files: the FAQ and Ken's compiled notes.]

All that should get you up to speed. I've been here since May last year, so I don't have as much to offer, but if you need any more information on the cactus mess onwards, I can help.

You could just quit the waiter job. You're not obligated to stay there.

Thanks, I appreciate it. [ He has some reading to do, that's for sure. ]

I could, but I also like being able to pay for stuff. Weird how those two things seem to be connected.

[couldbebeautiful]

You're welcome.

If it helps, and just in case you get sick enough of working in food service that you do quit, there's a shop in De Chima that's looking for a new clerk. It's called the Second Time Around Vintage Clothing Shoppe, it's a pretty swanky place to work.

It's retail, though, so expect some customers to be less than bright, most of the time.

[burger_king]

Yeah, I don't know if that's a better fit for me. I'll keep it in mind, maybe the pannacotta will get the better of me sooner rather than later.

Where do you work?

[couldbebeautiful]

The pannacotta gets the best of everyone.

Now? At Re:Café. The guy whose notes I sent you is my current boss, and the café's for both imPorts and natives. Stop by any time, I'll sneak you a cookie.

[burger_king]

I'll do that - stop by the Life of Pie sometime and I'll return the favor.
