::Onni, you find yourself at Auld Lang Syne, a hostess club across the street from Labirinto, the curio store run by Darklord Morningstar, better known to everyone as "Owner".

There you find Hayate in his usual duster jacket and bird mask, escorting a cute Japanese-Russian looking woman.::

We really need to have a discussion about this, Homura. Especially since you came back from your extended trip in Hawaii.

[soundofthestorm]

That explains even less than I knew before!

[becomeanwarrior]

I don't think you appreciate how incredibly difficult it is to restrain Hayate from punching you right now...!

[ Straining with fake glee. ]

[auldlangsynemorrow]

What do you want to know and can we keep it quick, I have a modelling session in 30.

[becomeanwarrior]

What's the deal with Homura. Why did you come back in time. Why are you hiding out as a hostess club owner.

[auldlangsynemorrow]

She's my secretary. To save the world. It's a good way to get information and justify my odd jobs staff.

[becomeanwarrior]

Please elaborate on saving the world.

Also why are you and Homura sharing a body.

[auldlangsynemorrow]

Because I didn't exist until last summer in this world.

If Aunt Abraxia doesn't find the Golden Sign, the universe begins to collapse, Las Vegas becomes Jell-O and there will be glowing rainbow space whales as Aunt Noriko airlifts Japan into a flying continent.

[soundofthestorm]

WHY WOULD LAS VEGAS BECOME JELL-O!?

[auldlangsynemorrow]

The Count of St. Germain.

[becomeanwarrior]

The Count of St. Germain... are you talking about the collapse of philosophical thought or something?

[auldlangsynemorrow]

No...?

I mean the Count of St. Germain turned Las Vegas into Jell-O with the aid of Tenjoin Fubuki.

[becomeanwarrior]

Okay, now you've lost me.

Sayaka, can you start from the top, here?

[auldlangsynemorrow]

The Immortal St. Germain turned Las Vegas into a giant cube of Jell-O with the aid of Tenjoin Fubuki.

I'm not sure what else you want to know.

[becomeanwarrior]

... The Alien Count of St. Germain? That makes even less sense somehow!

Explain what lead to you coming back in time in the first place! What happens!?

[auldlangsynemorrow]

Aunt Abraxia fails to find the Golden Sign and we do not contact the only viable universe for saving ours from the rot and decay caused by Akaba Leo.

Grandmother is nearly completing a Dyson Sphere world ship to carry Earth's Solar System to travel the multiverse, but she'd rather make that a last resort.

[soundofthestorm]

... This is making less and less sense...

[becomeanwarrior]

Okay, so this is about the Golden Sign. I had an inkling, but then you went on about St. Germain and...

[ How many times does he has to be the one to translate from witchspeak... ]

...Hayate, to loop you in, the broad strokes are "our universe is slowly bleeding out due to general instability of the last few years, and we're attempting essentially a blood transfusion and stitching all at once." My other niece has the key, but it's being fought over by half the big threats that are currently on our board.

[soundofthestorm]

... How did a clown like the President's father cause so much damn trouble.

[becomeanwarrior]

You know... I really don't know the finer details, myself.

All I know is it's caused one hell of a mess, and most of my time as the Chief is a combination of trying to fix the knock-on effects from it while making sure "our universe is in critical condition" remains on a need-to-know basis. Mass hysteria, and all that.

[soundofthestorm]

I know the finer details of what caused it, but need-to-know basis and you don't need to know.

I'm just bewildered we're still cleaning up his shit.

[auldlangsynemorrow]

But yes.

If Aunt Abraxia does not find the Golden Sign in time, this universe is condemned to essentially a slow bleeding death.

No nevermind, something like 25% already no longer exists.

[becomeanwarrior]

T-twenty-five? Criminy... I knew we were on a time limit but that's a lot...

...Have any of your leads panned out then, Sayaka?

[auldlangsynemorrow]

It led one of my girls saving Tsukumo Yuma and his fiancee.

But no, Auld Lang Syne has not had much luck at finding whatever the Golden Sign is.

[becomeanwarrior]

Well, that's noble any way you slice it, isn't it.

But... that's worrisome, we really are running out of time and leads - especially considering everyone else who wants the Golden Sign.

[auldlangsynemorrow]

This assumes it's a Thing. An object.
