We were just hanging out in the city. Happened to be walking through some place out of the way so there wasn't anyone else around.

...I'm pretty sure because of whatever error Mars caused, the two of us ended up in another city. It wasn't the Tokyo in the Liars' realm, and it didn't match the description of Vengeance Hell, either. Full of shades of the damned, but it was 'normal'. Sky was still regret-inducing to look at, though.

What do you mean by shades of the Damend?

At least, that's what I assumed they were. They...kind of looked like shadows of people? When they walked past us it felt warm, but if you try to touch them they aren't solid. When we arrived we found a map of the city -- the layout's pretty much the same as this one, as far as I could tell -- that had one particular building marked on it. We headed over there and it looked like an...'office building', I guess that's what it's called?

We headed in and there was...someone? Something? At the reception desk. I can't tell you who or what it was 'cause just looking at it gave me a headache and I couldn't figure it out. It said we were at the 'Fanservice Branch' of...

[ How the hell do you communicate this:

]

...Some garbled nonsense I couldn't understand. Then the AI girl showed up again, saying something to it about how it 'can't really interact with us' and explaining some of the situation to us.

[He looks particularly interested at the bit where Eclipse says the Damned were warm, but not touchable.

Yes, that sounds familiar]

Did you see any Heaven hosts there? Run into any guards---

They would have looked like...

[Wait, he has to flip through his notes. Give him a moment]

I didn't see any other hosts. Aside from whoever was at the reception and the AI girl, we didn't get to speak to anyone else.

[Well that's good. Because the only description he has for the security guards is "bloody bleeding claw-y scary person". Not helpful, past!Intensity]

When we bought that first meeting with Our Lady of the Circus, that's where she brought us.

She claimed it was Delphi.

But from your account, it was a space in between here and Delphi.

Delphi, as in where we were during maintenance? The city looked a lot like here, but I wasn't sure if it was the same as the one in the Liars' realm because it wasn't so bright that you needed to get your eyes checked.

Mars and I ended up running into...I think, some kind of storage or waiting room. It had things like mannequins that matched the number of people usually on units -- three of them had outfits that matched the styles of Alcheme, Wild City and Bad End. We also found 'Imepro Volunteer Fan Outreach' badges in there, as well a unit-themed pamphlets and...glowing sticks?

Fun fact, apparently AI girl couldn't follow us inside the room because she said she's not a volunteer. Which I'm guessing has something to do with 'fan outreach'. Didn't stop her from waiting outside the door, of course.

"Volunteer" Fan Outreach.

What the fuck does that even mean?

I suspect it means there are demons who have contact with the whoever makes up our audience and...take their opinions? Give out those pamphlets I mentioned? What do 'fans' do?

It seems like the sort of thing some of the denizens of the Liar's Realm would be interested in, anyway.
