[ King doesn't even text back, he just immediately knocks on her door.

WHAT TERRIBLE THING HAS HAPPENED? ]

D.Va?

[ she's sitting on her bed and being financially responsible!!! ]

Hey King~ [ pats the other space beside her, because hiryuu is also here. ]

[ ??? ]

Is everything okay . . . ?

Yep! I just have something I'd like to share with the both of you. I'm, like, kind of on the impossible mission right now. [ she huffs a laugh. ] ...so, as you know, the city is still kind of a mess, but I managed to get a hold of NaFunAI and ♥, her admin, because they're in charge of Tokyo-F. I thought I could use my charms~ to convince them to just, like, fix the city, but sadly no... they're both impervious.

Anyway! ♥ said if I could get 100,000 points, the cost of a community upgrade, then she'd fix the city. I did ask her to, like, give us some incentive, because she could be full of it, so as soon as we get 10,000 she said she'd fix something.

[ brings up the invoice on her phone. ]

[ looking at the invoice. ]

This is about as much as they wanted for us to be able to talk to Mukurou, back in the day... ... Did she give you this specifically because she thought you couldn't do it?

[ d.va and

her spending habits... ]

...

Who the hell is Mukurou?

And, ah, maybe??? [ LEAVE HER SPENDING HABITS OUT OF THIS. ] She said I didn't really have anything she wanted, but I think I pestered her into submission. She *did* mention souls, because she knows demons that barter with those, but obviously we're not soul traders. [ crinkles her nose. ]

[ gross. ]

Yes, I'm afraid we need those. Points, though... that's easily affordable.

[ She's taking out her phone ]

Twenty-three grand should be a good step in the right direction, right?

[ DON'T THINK SHE WON'T SEND YOU LITERALLY ALL SHE HAS.... what is having any concept of money or savings when you have been either literally poor and homeless or richer than god your entire life.... ]

I figure if we could get every single idol in Tokyo-F to donate 1,000 points, then we'd reach the goal in no time, but I, first, wanted to try to hit the 10,000 miles-

[ chokes. ] Is that how many you have? How do you have so many?! I actually have been doing an okay job saving lately, mostly because there's nothing to buy, but I already chipped in 5,000, so maybe we can start there? Like, no need to dump all your points in. Everybody else should help too.

It's how many I have, yes. We started saving points a long, long time ago to try to have a one-on-one meeting with one of Vengeance's demons, back when we knew less. We weren't able to meet him, but... I never really found much use for the points, and they've just kept accruing.

So... I really don't mind dumping them all in, but... if you'd prefer that everyone chip in, I'll just give what you're comfortable with.

How come you weren't able to meet him? Did he set a seemingly impossible sounding goal and then back out when he realized you guys would stop at nothing to get it? L A M E .

And that's very sweet of you, Hiryuu, but I think we should try to get everybody to at least pitch something in and see how that goes.

I think that's how it went, more or less--although AlcheME! had already spoken with Exael at that point, so that might also have something to do with it. So we need to ask friends for donations, then, is that the plan?

...you think? Huh. [ ... ] But, yeah!, that's the plan. I can talk to Kaguya of Taisho, K of alcheME!, and I did want to tell Intensity that I spoke to the Admin, so I can ask him about FiN, but if you guys have friends on some of the other units you could talk to that'd be great.

[ blease d.va, ]

It's hard to remember that far back when you have a hundred years of mirror-life!

[ more accurately mun has forgotten because her brain is made of cheese, but it's a convenient excuse. ]

... In that case... I can probably speak with Amaranth, and Levi... I'm sure Talon will want to do something as well. ... It's too bad Joker's not here anymore, but... maybe Silk would like to do it in his memory.

...

[ oof. she goes silent for a moment and then her shoulders sag inward. ] ...sorry to remind you.

[ but as soon as they start talking business again she smiles. ] If you wouldn't mind, then I'd really appreciate that. I was trying to think of who I knew on some of the other units and, ah, y- yeah... [ frowns. ] I can't believe both Joker and Mars are gone...

I'm okay, D.va. You don't have to apologize.

[ she's not angry!!! or upset.

mostly embarrassed she can't remember such an important detail... ]

[ As for the rest, though. She sighs and her own shoulders sag. ]

Yeah. I think .... I know Silk's taking it hard. I'm sure Fox and Prim must be feeling the loss even more...

[ A, too, though she hasn't seen him in quite some time... ]

[ nods. ] Joker had been there since, like, the beginning, so he was OG Bad End, right? And then the whole Phantom Thieves thing... [ she feels for them all. ]

I'm hoping we see them all again.

Mm. Joker was here in the beginning. There aren't that many of us left that were...

[ So many people gone the same way as Joker and Mars... it's painful to think about, all of the lost loved ones and friends and--family. ]

... It's my intention to make sure we do see them again. Though I'll admit, I'm not much closer to figuring out how than I was the first day we got here. For now... we need to not give up hope.

[ frowns, reaching out to squeeze her hand. ] Who is left from the OG group anyway?

I know we'll find the again. And we'll make sure they're all safe & sound too. [ hums, nodding. ] Yeah, it's not easy to figure this place out. Clues are like a needle in a haystack here...

Joker, B, C, myself, Hurricane, Nemesis, Cardinal, Intensity, Angel... I believe both Persephone and Lucifel... Shu... Silver and Gold... Man Eater... Perhaps Maki and Talon? There was A, too, but--I believe he recently graduated.

[ She squeezes D.va's hand back. ]

I know. It's just--hard sometimes. There've been so many... and so few ever come back. Sometimes it feels like we'll never see them again.

[ Nam flashback to Dis Shit Again ]

. . . Is her name really "♥"?

[ at least it's for a good cause!!! ]

Yes, though you probably wouldn't believe it because she's got the mouth of a sailor.

Somehow nothing surprises me anymore.

I wonder what's in it for her, though? Us simply gathering a punch of fake currency.

I mean, she kind of needs the city not looking like a bomb went off, but she didn't want to help us out, because it was kind of our own fault. A bunch of people here were the ones that summoned the imps. It's not like that just happened to happen.
