anyway, once monika's had some time to rest up and get tended to be her teammates and whoever is hopefully doing more than a 1/4 healing on her, nahida comes to look for her. girl help what was going on. why were you in an egg in sears.
her vibes are extremely concerned, because yikes.]
[help i grabbed all my plurk links but not my discord links
monika, too, would like to know why she was in an egg at sears. she's just vibing, too exhausted to feel anything but emotionally numb, drinking a coffee and watching what she could salvage from her outfit spin in the washing machine. the cuts on her arms, legs and face look several days old now, at least. though the bruising around her neck is still pretty bad.
[she smiles back, but... she's still worried. the bruising around her neck is especially worrying! alas, she can't do anything about it; she's tapped out on healing for the day.]
Mm... It was a little touch and go for a moment. But I'm really happy we pulled through in the end, too. Even though it meant coming out of a giant egg in Sears.
...I did want to warn you. I don't know for sure if it will happen again, since the Reapers claimed it was a glitch, but... after my group and I returned last week, we received an odd message. It wasn't addressed to is - but we received it anyway.
It seemed to be instructions for the setup of the Reaper's Game.
[she pulls out her phone, navigates to her texts, and then offers it to monika.]
ATTN: ████████
Prepping for new Game. You will each need to volunteer one of your best Reapers temporarily for it. Up to you to decide who fits criteria of 'best.' Cannot give much info on setup, but it is based on that one Game from a few years back. You know the one. Comply with instructions ASAP.

I haven't received anything like that. What did it say?
