[The first thing you might notice is that Vanille doesn't seem to be at home right now. She's actually in one of the backrooms at work, lounging about right now as she pushes some hair out of her face that's streaked with glitter.]There's been so many new people coming in that I figured I should do this before everyone gets confused, yeah? And for

That's a lot!

[lyingragnarok]

It is! I had to add a bunch of stuff to update it for you. What's your name?

[wishgrant]

Luca! What's yours?

[lyingragnarok]

Nice to meetcha, Luca, I'm Vanille!

[pishirogane]

Rise kept herself busy during her stay...

[Naoto is checking the pamphlet over. It could use some more information... This timeline. Dammit... Did his escape happen while she was here, or was she already gone? Was Kuzunoha-san absent as well? Too many questions again.]

Voice

[lyingragnarok]

She was here for a really long time, yeah? She was keeping up with this packet and helping to run Northern Lights, and... we're all really going to miss her.

[Finishes sadly.]

Voice

[pishirogane]

... If I returned, she'll return. In time, of course and whenever the BREW decides.

[Not usually like Naoto to try cheering someone up, buuut that probably wasn't a very good attempt]

Voice

[lyingragnarok]

Maybe! I think it's good that she got sent home though. It's better to be home sometimes, yeah?

[underspinning]

This is very informative. Thank you for your time. Glad to see I can get results somewhere

[ Snarking as usual. But she pauses... how can she put this delicately... ]

You work at a strip club?! [ She sounds offended ]

[lyingragnarok]

You're welcome! It didn't take too much time, most of it was already done anyway.

[She nods.]

Yup! Keeps me in shape, great tips, and it doesn't clash when I'm working at the clinic or training!

[underspinning]

It's a lot better than the clustered information I got when I arrived. It was hardly organized. [ She loves organization.

Huh. She never thought about it like that, though she wants to ask one honest question. ]

Doesn't it bother you in the slightest that they're objectifying you?!

[lyingragnarok]

Yeah, it gets kinda crazy with that! That's why Rise made this. She was good at organizing things.

[She shrugs.]

A little, but I also know I can kick their asses five ways to Sunday if they ever try anything! So it's kinda empowering, yeah?

[impurrfectprof]

Thank you for the guide, Vanille. It's nice to have all this information written down in one place! I'm Shader, one of the new recruits. Nice to meet'cha!

The beginning of your guide said that we don't have to fight in the war if we don't want to, right? [pause] Are we allowed to try the training classes before we decide if we want to fight or not?

[lyingragnarok]

You're welcome! Nice to meetcha, Shader. [Beams.]

Yeah, no one is gonna force you to fight! And there's a bunch of groups around that don't fight, too, so you can join those to help out in a way that's not fighting.

[She nods.] Mhm! Training is every morning at the training grounds. You can go there and watch, or train, or anything, yeah? It's a good idea to go and check it out.

[impurrfectprof]

Okay, good! I'm curious about this "Weapon" thing but--well, I'm not much of a fighter, so I don't know if I'd be much use in a battle.

[lyingragnarok]

Did they tell you you were a Weapon? I'm a Weapon too, yeah? It's about learning how to change, cause you never know what your form is!

[glitchycat]

This helped a little.

What is a strip club?

[voice]

[lyingragnarok]

Good! That's what it's supposed to do, yeah?

[She didn't expect that one to be questioned much.]

It's a club where dancers dance around poles.

[text]

[glitchycat]

Why poles?

[voice]

[lyingragnarok]

I dunno! Probably cause guys like seeing girls dance around something shiny, who knows?
