Attention all units! This is your Ibuki Mioda speaking. And this Ibuki is in need of some answers, stat.

[Do not adjust your sets, residents of Genessia. There is indeed the face of a teenage girl just that little bit too close to the screen. Her expression is etched into the sort of serious expression that suggests she is about to ask some very important questions. Which isn't even untrue.

From a certain perspective.]

Question one: If Ibuki died like she remembers that she did and now she's awake and walking around here, does that make her zombie Ibuki? Because I've thought about it and I'm not hungering for brains right now but I've never been a zombie before so I don't know if that's an immediate thing.

Question two: Putting aside possible zombie outbreak for just a second, where can Ibuki get some cheap lemon tea? This throat is feeling a little on the rough side and how am I supposed to perform to my adoring audiences like this?

And third and final question, for the mega-jackpot and a shot at the bonus prize:

[Here Ibuki draws back so everyone can get a glimpse of her fetching hospital gown]

Where can I get a cheap change of clothes? This thing's a little draughty.

--

Action: Jack's Bar and Karaoke Club

A
[Once Ibuki has secured answers to her questions three, it's time for her to do a little exploring. And despite that she doesn't have a whole lot of money right now - and it's been a while since she's even had to care about that sort of thing - there's one place that stands out to her, drawing her in like a glowing beacon.

How can the Ultimate Musician not be tempted by a little karaoke? Even if she doesn't have her trusty guitar with her.

She doesn't recognise many of the songs on the tracklist. But that's not the sort of thing to slow Ibuki down so she just waits until there's someone else looking at the track list and leaps in with a smile.]

So. Which list do I need to hit up to get a little metal sound in this place? Because whoever made this one didn't label it too well.

B
[Eventually, Ibuki finds a track to suit her. And that's when the Ultimate Musician gets her chance to shine. The vocals are growling, the air guitar's rocking out...of course, it's not exactly relaxing and certainly not to everyone's tastes but she's enthusiastic and loving every second of it.

She can't afford to stick around for long. But she'll be around for feedback from her adoring fans - and complaints, for those who think it necessary. She doesn't but she knows people can be funny that way...]

I'm here to serve. In respective order of your riddles:

1. No, no fears of unhallowed unlife need haunt you. You're exactly as you were were you alive from the start.

2. Pan's Grocery, located [here] will provide with many extremely affordable groceries of all kinds.

3. It doesn't get much cheaper than 'free', if you don't mind something from my wardrobe.

[creativedifferences]

Hmm. So not a zombie. Afterlife, then? That would make sense...

[Okay so no afterlife she's heard of involves washing ashore in a pod but it's not like she's ever spoken to anyone who's actually been to an afterlife so what does she know?]

...Wait. You'd just give me clothes? Just like that? That's a pretty generous gesture in some cultures, you know?

[In a fictional culture but that's never stopped her before.]

[youfool]

Oh, I wouldn't say that. Genessia is far too tame to be either heaven or hell. Probably not purgatory either, if Dante's to be believed.

Certainly. I can't speak to their fitness, either of size or of aesthetic, but if you're a spendthrift then I've found much in various landfills.

[creativedifferences]

Well, I don't know who this Dante is but something's got to be going on. Tame or not, there's got to be a bottom of this to get to.

[Too bad Ibuki's not likely to contribute much there.]

Seriously, though...picking through trash is a sorry state of affairs but until Ibuki can get her hands on some more reds I guess beggars can't be choosers.

[It's far from ideal but probably better than the clothes she died in. Probably.]

If you were a zombie as presented in media, it would be fairly obvious. [No pulse, decaying body, hunger for brains, ect.]

There are at least two tea shops that I am aware of. Other than those, there are cafes around. The price for something like lemon tea isn't that expensive.

You can purchase clothes with the money you are given. With proper management of it, you should be able to survive on it for a month or two.

[creativedifferences]

Well that's what I thought, but then I've never met a zombie before so you know? Could've still been possible.

[And that's even assuming media presentations were accurate.

But oh hey someone who knows more about the economy here than she does.]

Hmm. Ibuki's never been all that great with her money but if you think new clothes won't break the bank, well, you know prices here better than I do, probably.

[Considering it doesn't sound like he just washed up.]

[dominantprince]

They do exist here. You will find them in the city called Everglade. [Though everyone has been warned that that city isn't particularly safe.]

Then you may want to have someone else manage your finances for you. If you can't properly do it yourself, you may end up broke.

[alwaysimpaled]

As someone who has dealt with zombies up close and personal, I can tell you your skin is much too nice to be a zombie. Can't help much with the lemon tea, but I can point you toward a good strawberry sundae if you want.

And if that's really all the clothes you have, I'd be willing to buy you something. My new gig is paying more than I'm used to anyway.

Now it's my turn for a question. What kind of performing do you do?

[Video]

[creativedifferences]

Oh my my! Looks like we've got ourselves a charmer right here.

[Not really her type but that's not to say Ibuki is entirely immune either.]

Well, if you really want to spoil a girl, Ibuki will gladly accept. And then, once she figures out how to get a gig around here...and a guitar...then I'll treat you to the Ultimate Musician Ibuki Mioda experience!

[Because she doesn't just answer a question when the chance to ham it up presents itself.]

[Video]

[alwaysimpaled]

[He laughs a bit.] First time anyone's called me that. I'm usually described as a... [He clears his throat and attempts to mimic Vergil's voice] ...An arrogant slacker.

Still, I can help in the guitar department. [He holds up a finger as he walks out of frame for a moment before returning with Nevan]

Meet Nevan. I might be talked into letting you borrow her until you get your own. But yeah, first thing's first, clothes would be a good thing to have. Where do you want to meet?

[ What was Mioda San doing here? Of all the people... but then he could think of worse. At least she had always been joyful. ]

Video 2/2

[despairing_hope]

Though you died, it's different from what you think. Even though I was hoping perhaps....

[creativedifferences]

Ah! Nagito-chan's here too? And just when Ibuki thought she had this all figured out.

[Because last she knew, he wasn't dead.]

Well, at least we're not sick any more. And I bet we can totally find hope shards around here so long as the two-tone bear with a murderous attitude isn't about.

Text

[rockcollector]

[The text will say it's from Mr.Smith.]

Question one: You aren't a zombie. Death doesn't seem to work the same way here.

Question two: There are two tea places in Genessia. They're both in the information and shouldn't be to hard to find.

Question three: There is a clothing shop just outside of the bay to the left. You should have woken up with money.

[creativedifferences]

Wow! If I'd known I'd be getting written answers, I'd have totally busted out the "answers on a postcard" line.

[This isn't a postcard but it makes sense to her.]

Ibuki thanks you for your answers, Smith-chan. Popular vote would seem to suggest that yes, Ibuki is not a zombie even if she busts out a mean Thriller.

[rockcollector]

Please don't talk in third person. It makes you sound like an inbreed.

Dance if you wish.

*It's the second question that pings Sonico's attention. As a singer herself, she knows fine well the important of looking after your voice, and how good tea can be for it. So she smiles at the girl and gives a shy little wave*

I can show you a cafe with lemon tea. Or I could bring you some of my own. Us singers have to make sure we're looking after each other, right?

*Sonico blinks, uncertain, at that last bit because she's pretty sure that it sounds lame. She is not good with talking to strangers*

[Video]

[creativedifferences]

[Oh what's this, another singer? Ibuki may just have found herself in performer heaven!]

Ah! Ibuki couldn't possibly take tea from another singer. She will gladly listen to recommendations, though. Sounds like you really get where that question came from.

[Hopefully aside from why Ibuki's throat feels a bit off in the first place.]

[Video]

[sonicosuper]

I wouldn't mind - I have plenty, really.

*But how polite of the girl to decline in such a way - that was very nice of her*

There is a small place in Genessia that sells all sorts of different teas - you can find it there!

*Sonico then names the place and how together, whatever that is because this mun has no idea*

[bloodheels]

Clothes wise, I know of a cheap place since I had to buy some for what I make.

[Which most goes to where she lives, so she tends to not have much left.]

If you want, I can show you. or someone else might have already.

video;

[creativedifferences]

Ibuki does not penalise late answers.

[And clothing is one thing people haven't shown her where to buy, fortunately!]

Ah, but...you make things? Does that mean you sew too?

video;

[bloodheels]

[She shook her head slightly. She had known someone who could sew, but they weren't here.]

Sadly, no. But I could show you a few places you can buy clothes, depending on style.

[sizedoesntmatter]

[Yugi was wondering why someone would ask such a question... Unless of course they died before coming here, then it makes sense. But yet at the same time made him sad as well.]

You'll be happy to know you won't become a zombie. Even if you die here.

[creativedifferences]

Ibuki has no plans to die here.

[Once has been quite enough for her.]

[sizedoesntmatter]

That's good at least. Though no one ever has plans for that kind of thing. We just can try and avoid it.
