WEEK 2

[akudamods]

Saturday passes uneventfully save a little rain. It's on Sunday that you get a little notification of probation for new areas: Neo-Nipponbashi and Chuo. It'd be possible to investigate, to check out some anime, or to worship the defunct Shinkansen. But maybe it's hard to get excited about any of that when Friday’s events suggest that you have simply been provided some additional photogenic places to commit murder. Are you going to bother either overseer after their participation in some mockery of justice? Troll the internet? Get a bat out of Hyper Zone and just take out your frustration on everything?

Those of you who entered the pods will experience fewer “painful bursts of color” as your body is unaffected below the knees, though the same amount of “slight teleportation” glitches. Those of you who abstained from the pods will continue to experience all of the above as well as electric shock sensations occasionally when touching metal objects.

((Internet investigations of any kind go here, and for all IRL areas, please use "investigate" in the subject line of your top-level comment, or link the thread to a moderator!))

[Her browsing eventually takes Rachel to Ani-Mart. Specifically, she seems to be looking through various plush characters. But she hears Jake and... well, he has her attention.]

...you're familiar with some of these?

[conways_retribution]

Oh, yeah, they aired these cartoons back in America. I can tell things came a long way since black and white it seems. _{[He'd actually taken his phone out to translate the text...]} Huh... "Mighty Atom"? "Mach GoGoGo"? And "Tetsujin 28-go"?

You told me they even had different names over here I wouldn't have believed it.

[fixingtodie]

Huh. I guess it's not as easy as translating it line by line.

[Who knew.]

Were you looking for something to watch? [She points outside to the store across the way.] There's a furniture store across the street if you need a tv.

[conways_retribution]

Thanks for the tip... Well, I am a sucker for the classics. I'll see about it. I just hope a TV comes cheap around here. _{[He's... only ever used CRT in his life.]}

[fixingtodie]

I could help look... If they have display models, you might be able to get one cheaper.

[conways_retribution]

Thanks a lot. Speaking of all the TVs I saw were really... flat, and big. Where I come from we just have these fat little fuckers.

[fixingtodie]

I think they're all newer models. The one I had back home was bigger too.

[Skinny or not though...]

A delivery option would still be best.

[conways_retribution]

Yeah, I can tell. Definitely some heavy and fragile cargo. Mayyybe if I went back to the hospital and got my sidecar I'd be able to take it home immediately.
