>>5153840It’s Saturday morning. Since you were taking so long to get this case done, you rented a tiny apartment in one of the oldest districts in Pokyo Lokyo. It’s cheap and it isn’t plagued by construction work as much of the rest of the city, and it has the bare minimums for a comfortable stay. You’re done with breakfast and ready to move forward!
“Kobashi…” A familiar voice calls your name, it’s coming from the TV. What a coincidence! You need to turn it off! “The TV is already turned off! <span class="mu-i">Boooo</span>!”
“Gah!” The TV is cursed! You must destroy it before its evil influence affects the fridge!
“P-Put that chair down, it’s me, Madam Qiao Ning!” The screen shows the eccentric woman that sent you to this mission! “I’m here to get a report on your progress.”
“Why didn’t you use the phone?” You point out because… wait… how is she talking to you through the TV? Did she buy Ad time?! What in the world is happening? Must be spirit powers. But she’s no spirit. Yeah, you’re going to go back to <span class="mu-i">the what in the world is happening</span> stuff and maybe panic a little inside. You don’t like showing people your emotions.
“T-That’s too mundane of a question for the <span class="mu-s">impressive</span> feat you’re witnessing! This is the power of a prodigy! <span class="mu-s">A prodigy!</span>” Qiao Ning huffs and puffs from one side of the screen to the other. “You’re one of the few agents that has reported a surmountable amount of progress. So, rejoice! You’re worth checking on!”
<span class="mu-s">How do you respond?</span>
>“Let’s not be hasty, I have a lead, I’ll report my findings later tonight instead of wasting both of our time now.” You have confidence this cake lead is going to work.>“Well, I did find out the following…” Put Qiao up to speed.>“I’m not comfortable talking to a TV, so please leave. I’ll call you later. Using the Phone. Not the TV.” You won’t stand for this mockery of reality.>Write In.<span class="mu-s">What do you do next?</span>
>Call the Bombastus’ Cake Service to order some and get some intel.>Go to the Store that sells Bombasuts’ Cakes to get more information.>Pretend to be someone else and visit the Store that sells Bombastus’ Cakes.>Write In.
