[Also following her. Though at a distance]

[She moves more out of sight, down an alley.]

[Continues walking, even after he loses sight of her]

I know you went this way. And I definitely know that you're capable of shanking me in a dark alley. So let's not be boring about it.

[In fact, she emerges from a hidden spot right in front of him with her knife in her hand.]

What would be interesting for you, then?

You want answers, don't you?

I do.

...And it seems like you know some things.

So put the knife away and ask them.

Or I could keep the knife out and ask them.

I suppose if you really wanted to, then yes.

...

[she lowers her knife to her side but doesn't actually put it away]

You know me. And you know I don't know you. So, why?

[Inclines his head back to where they came from]

You just came from the Game Tower. And more specifically, an auctioning game that just ended there. Your memories were placed as the ante and your unit lost.

...What kind of game do people bet all of their memories for?

High-risk high-reward entertainment ones. You didn't come here of your own volition. You were kidnapped, mind-wiped, and told to perform on this stage in front of an audience.

...And then mind-wiped again, as the result of this game.

Yes, though the effects of that should be temporary. It's not fun for the audience if you reset all the character development mid-season.

Character development, huh.

Did I stutter?

[Shrugs carelessly]

You should have your phone on you. I can show you the relevant pages since the UI is utter garbage.

...

[she finally puts the knife away (tucked somewhere in her skirt) and pulls out her phone instead.]

Yes it is. I was looking at it a little.

[He makes a motion with his hand the screen turns on.

Now the next question is whether or not she keeps it password protected]

[She blinks in surprise at the screen.

It is fortunately not password protected.]

[Then with another hand motion, her phone will start scrolling through the information pages - landing first on the generic profile one describing Imeeji, what their purpose as idols is, and the different units.]

[Okay but before she gets too deep into reading—]

You're controlling it?

Yes. Part of my unit's power set. Your unit will have some as well.

...I see.

[She still sounds pretty dubious, but she just falls silent as she reads through the info pages as they appear.]

[He'll hit the general info, her unit, and the dorm and its layout.

That should be enough for her to navigate to where she needs to go]
