Hey there, to all the friends, enemies, and lovers!

I'm known as "Monts" and I'm an officer from the Tamamo Clan. Happy to make your acquaintance. With the new crop of Lost Souls that have found this corner of hell, I hope you've settled in with whatever faction you're assigned to and that you had a great welcome. 💖

Anyway, I want to get to know some of you a little bit more! It's nothing invasive, promise. What I'm proposing is...!

( To Tag Yourself! )

[ A very blonde, young face appears on the screen. He is charming and personable enough but looks very much cookie-cutter type in terms of outfit and presence. He’s channeling less suave boy next door, but more newscaster for the 6 o’clock news. Think your grandpa going golf on a Sunday morning kind of vibes. ]

Good day. I am Dimitri.

Following the announcement of the huge bounty tied to the kidnapping of Finance Wolf Kaberou Kannazaki’s daughter, several bounty hunters have made it their business to claim the cash reward tied to her recovery. As a matter of public safety, it is in our best interest to detain these independent bounty-hunters before it escalates in the city.

I propose an operation to make use of the city’s robust network – to create fake advertisements, print or online or by word of mouth, to lure them locations around the city where they can be apprehended and detained with force, if necessary. The advertisements need not be sophisticated. As hunters are motivated by greed and money, it is enough that it contains a reference to having a party of sorts that they can join to navigate the Wastelands, and a decent offer to split the rewards amongst themselves after. Online it is easier to track such interest, but we can utilize whatever method of spreading the word in order to pick up others as well.

[ Dimitri says this in a matter-of-fact way. He tilts his head and adds, rather thoughtfully, ] Of course, it is understood that not all would accept the bait. However, for whatever number we can corral and detain, more will always follow given that all of them are united with the same goal. And the more we detain as a department, the more it will stand as a warning to others and dissuade them from acting foolishly – at least, one hopes. [ He has a wry smile on his face when he says this. ] I leave it up to my colleagues for more creative ways of finding the rest of the troublemakers headed to the Wastelands.

If we move quickly before these hunters make alliances amongst themselves, we can nip the problem in the bud and maintain order in the city. [ a pause, and then he adds, ] Or before other Factions can lay credit to having maintained order instead.

Any other help and suggestions would be appreciated. The plan is quite rough around the edges and will need refining, and I am prepared to be schooled for it to be more effective where necessary.

I will be responding in text unless requested otherwise. Feel free to chat in the comments as you wish.

To all our new co-workers: welcome. I look forward to working with you.

Hello, everyone. My name is Croix Meridies, a new arrival.

Since coming here, I've done my best to catalog and mark this city's ramen stands, restaurants, and convenience stores that sell it in instant form, along with listing their prices. I haven't been here long, so I've decided to crowdsource it and offer my findings to anyone interested.

If you could help me fill in the map, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
