[ SELFIE~~~

exael that is not a selfie face]

[nonsense its perfect

scoots back from a lil bit]

But seriously, why do people get transferred and is there any way to contact or watch them?

Some people would probably like to watch their missing people. Zrael certainly are longing for God.

[opening_act]

Being transferred more or less means they don't think you're a good representative. Hell has a lot of other less important TV! There's other shows they can always put you on.

I thiiiink the producers don't want you watching too much hell TV though.

[liarliarliar]

Can people be transferred back?

And I guess they don't want tv to rot our brains. Fair. Who does watch then?

[opening_act]

They can be! If they think you'll be better at it the second time around.

[ points out the window ]

You're pretty popular with the damned! They're not the important part of the audience, but they are the bulk of it.

[liarliarliar]

What makes a person damned? And what's been most popular with them?

[opening_act]

Hell did better in the rounds with their representatives, mostly. It's been pretty winner take all lately. Overall? Different things do better with different demographics. It's better to find a niche than to appeal to everyone.

[liarliarliar]

Who is Alcheme popular with?

[opening_act]

This Tokyo, actually. Some higher-ups have their eyes on you too.

[liarliarliar]

Why here you think? And what higher ups?

[opening_act]

Good taste! And higher-ups with good taste!

[liarliarliar]

Are you an Alcheme fan? Were you an idol once on a team like mine?

[opening_act]

You made a good impression! Units are all new for this round.

[liarliarliar]

Aw, you won't say it straight out! You're shy! That's fine, that's fine. I'm shy too of course. So what's a normal work day like for Exael?

[opening_act]

Classified.

[liarliarliar]

So, who makes up the hosts? All ex idols or like. Can anyone become a host?

Do the ones who make wishes with the hell faction have to be hosts or do they do all sorts of things?

[opening_act]

It's not anyone, but there's not that many active hosts right now. It's just me and Mukuro for this round so far.

So you can probably guess it's all sorts of things!

[liarliarliar]

Ah you do want to keep me guessing.

[picks up a pillow and tosses it at her. gently]

I'm trying my best here! Ah--how about this then?

What do you think I should be asking?

[opening_act]

There's no real "should". It's just a matter of what's important to you! There's other people who paid for this meeting too, all with things to ask.

[liarliarliar]

Well yeah, but I kind of ended up the person who is actually suppose to do a good job. It's a lot of pressure for a single young man, you know. Ah, but people do like to watch the struggle.

I'd like to know why you threw in those easter eggs into the last game? You got hurt for it, was it worth it?

[opening_act]

I think it's better if the pieces know at least a little about the game-board. If you stumble around blind the whole time, I don't think you're going to make many winning plays.

[liarliarliar]

If we're pieces is there an even bigger game we're not aware of? Aside from the two sides trying to win graduates.

[opening_act]

That's a good question! Homework assignment for you!

Please think on the questions:

What does Heaven get out of this?
Is there a bigger game?

There's no due date, and I won't be checking your answers.

[liarliarliar]

Thanks.

Okay, part of my research then.

How would someone from the other side pitch graduation?
