Not all of the girls were exactly...'homely,' you might say, compared to the two of them, but Aika and Joy - especially the latter - stood out amongst the crowd.  "I...my understanding is that we're really here to start the races, look pretty, and maybe offer some driver a bit of 'luck,'" Aika responded to Joy's question about why they were here.  "I'm not even really sure how this whole thing works to begin with.  They made reference to events and stuff like that, but otherwise there really isn't much more we know."  A soft chime pinged, and the next thing both Exalted knew, they were confronted with another pop-up.<br/><div align="center"><tt class="bbc_tt"><br/>AT WORK<br/>While WORKing, you will be presented, during the course of a time block, 3 to 5 prompts for actions.  An EVENT can replace one or more of these prompts, and some will end the WORK block early.  Certain actions may be available only to certain players in a 2P game, in which case the ineligible player will be unable to select that particular option.  Each player must select a different action during a prompt, unless that action is to INVESTIGATE a RUMOR, and then each player must investigate a different RUMOR.</tt></div><br/>There was more, but Aika interrupted as they read.  "Alright.  So this isn't all that complicated.  We just have to pick a few prompts, get chances to look into RUMORS, and it sounds like there will be context-dependent actions that you or I can take...we probably should make use of those as much as possible."  That bit about there being EVENTS that would end the block early, though...they were in a hostile city.  Was one of the possibilities that they would be attacked by the area's bad guys?  Probably...they read on.<br/><br/><div align="center"><tt class="bbc_tt">You may also receive CLOSET options, ITEMS, or other rewards for certain actions or EVENT completions during WORK.  Some of them may take a while to reveal themselves.  You will be notified when you are at the last action prompt of the night.</tt></div><br/>"And that looks like it's it.  Okay, let's see about introducing ourselves to the others-"  Aika was interrupted once more by a pop-up, this one quite obviously one of the action prompts that they had just been told about!  The options were as follows:<br/><br/><tt class="bbc_tt">&gt;START RACES<br/>&gt;INVESTIGATE<br/>&gt;CHAT<br/>&gt;[<em>Oppailicious</em>] START RACES</tt><br/><br/>Joy's 1P icon - in gold and orange - was there, along with Aika's green-colored 2P icon.  The Tennin tilted her head at the last one.  "'Oppailicious'?"
