<strong>Name</strong>;  Alessa Silverstone.<br/><strong>Location</strong>;  Tokyo, Japan; Shibuya District<br/><strong>Time</strong>;  Early morning, 8:30 A.M. ish<br/><strong>Tagged</strong>;  Melisa Artemis and Ryuuji Kurokaze.  Karl Williamson by email<br/><br/>Glad for the news that they'd be able to get out of the apartment for a bit despite her personal desire to stay inside, Alessa waited until Melisa was out of the shower before she nodded and got herself in there.  It didn't take her long to get cleaned up, having smiled at Melisa's little joke when she had said it, but that aside it didn't take her long to get in and out and dressed in a pair of jeans and a simple white t-shirt before she got back in her chair and ready to leave with Ryuuji.  "Just in a nick of time."  She said to herself more than anything, grabbing her purse out of her new room where she had tossed it before she left, just in case she did find a VR pod she could buy then and there.  It'd do her some good to stay out of Eden for a little bit anyway, but she'd return before the day was over if she had anything to say about it.  Zachariah...needed to be buried and she needed answers anyway.  Pushing those thoughts to the side for now however, she let Melisa lead the way.<br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Name: Katerina De Leon<br/>Location: Harrisburg, PA, USA<br/>Local Time: 7:23 PM<br/>Tagged: Karl by video call.<br/><br/>She often stayed in the office, a habit most of her coworkers and underlings knew about, but they were also cautious around their boss from Hell as the running joke went since she could easily find a reason to fire half of them if not for the fact they were all needed to keep Eden running.  She was a team player only so far as you were useful to her.  Still, she was a fair if strict Mistress, willing to work with you if you kept on her good side.  Despite being a succubus queen half breed in Eden, in reality she wouldn't go near a married couple for her sexual needs or anyone in a committed relationship for that matter.  That was another thing that was well known around the office.  But just because you could bang the boss didn't give you any special privileges in Katerina's eyes, so making that mistake was quite a bad idea.  Still, that aside, she worked just as hard as anyone else and was the best, or so it was claimed, at what she did.  Being lead programmer was hard work for most people, but when you practically owned the rights to the biggest game since World of Warcraft or Rift, and you enjoyed your creation as much as she did, it was a joy to come into work everyday.  At least she thought so until the news came on with Vergil Smith's death.  She and Karl both had come across the same things regarding the Balor and while it was mind boggling to think that something like that could happen, she was open minded enough to not rule out the possibility that it had happened the same way both in and out of the game.  It still disturbed her a great deal however.  Something like that shouldn't have been possible yet it seemed it was.  She needed to get to the bottom of this and fast.<br/><br/>Opening up a she hoped secure channel to Karl's place, hoping he hadn't already signed into Eden, her face would appear in a video holoscreen, most likely surprising the guy if he hadn't been expecting her to ring him up.  "Karl, it's your boss.  Pick up the call or I'll come down to your place and pull you out of bed or your Eden pod by force if I have to.  I'm sure you know what's going on and I want us to be on the same page."
