Satoru was the first to arrive after Mimamoru, who was happy to see him of course. The male held up his own gift of sorts and her lips curved up in a sly grin, the next best thing. He then approached Soshi, the two exchanging a friendly few words. "Of course, everything from atop my throne seems lovely and fair as ever. Such weather has been permitted but the sun should come out soon enough." Soshi gave Satoru a sly grin as he patted his friend on the shoulder. Mima went back over to pour herself a new drink, this time she passed on the tame tea, and went for something more smooth and silky, the whiskey that their friend had brought over. Once she poured herself a neat amount, she walked over and leaned over the boys from behind. "I guess the second mouse gets the cheese." Soshi offered to Satoru when the door slid open and another Corrector announced their arrival.

"You're not too late, don't worry!" Mimamoru said to Yasukazu who then showed off his own offering. "Those look very good, thank you." Mima said and quickly took the bag off of his hands. "You always make the best snacks." She praised him and helped set them up on the table for everyone to enjoy. As they chatted, the other female arrived. Sarah was a foreigner, new to the group as well as Japan itself. As the leader, Mimamoru had made it her mission to help Sarah acclimate smoothly. "Hello there, Sarah-san." She bowed her head in her cute manner and helped her set up some of the goods she had brought. Like Sarah, Mima loved sweets. Or any food, really. SO they two could easily bond over treats and chocolate. Japan had a lot to offer in terms of snacks and sweets though Sarah's taste was different due to where she was raised and how.

Even so, there was something for everyone if you looked hard enough.

"Hey there." Soshi flashed a smile to Sarah and Irie who had also arrived. He rose to his feet and dimmed the music down so it would be easier to converse without having to rival the smooth rifts of a saxophone. "It looks like we're all here, I suppose our missing member has other obligations." He frowned a little but caught Mima giving him a look so he cleared his throat. "Anyway, I was hoping we would all be able to use this time to unwind. Work has kept us all busy and I know I could use a drink. It seems Mi-chan has helped herself so everyone else, feel free." He said. He wouldn't normally make speeches like that in his own home, especially for a casual get together, but they did have a new member that needed to feel included. 

Making his way to the kitchen area, he made himself a drink and got down some sake in case anyone wanted it. He could remember several times when their group would go out late after work, drink and eat street-food until they passed out in the gutter. Those days of working and bonding seemed so far away but they were young back then and didn't know any better. Some could avoid school and think they'd be okay but they were only fooling themselves. Now that he and Mimamoru were older, they knew the cost of what they did and why they needed to take it seriously. Even so, it was for that very dangerous reason, that they couldn't wrap themselves up in seriousness. They needed to balance emotions just as they would being a Corrector.

Still, Soshi wasn't sure if he should bring up what he and Mima were discussing. They were the eldest members of the group but if it did concern Mimamoru, it was better they talk about it now. If they needed to do their own digging, it would need to be done outside of the eye of the Gvn. They couldn't look like they were trying to trick the system or imply that they didn't trust it. if Correctors stepped out of line, it wasn't uncommon for them to be killed or relocated. But the increase in work was an understandable inquiry, was it not? He finished his drink and made himself another. He also made a plate of several of the things his friends had contributed to the party. Approaching the topic itself wasn't an easy task. If they all agreed to check up on the flux of threats, they were risking their jobs but also their lives.

Of course in the back of his mind, he considered that this was just an abnormal amount of work and that was that.

Or that it was a Hacker's ploy to get innocent Corrector's attention.

An unsettling feeling washed over Soshi as he sat back down on the couch. "Actually, Mima-chan and I were discussing work before everyone arrived." He commented as he ate some sushi.

"Yes..." Mima looked to her second in command and then to the others who had the same right to know about her apprehensions. "I was just expressing how odd it is for us to be called into work so frequently at this time of year." She cleared her throat. It could be nothing but could be something. And if it was something, she had a right to know what could be coming after her friends and the innocent. "Usually around this time, we get space to breathe and be with our loved ones, ah not um...we're not each other's loved ones..." She blushed slightly. "I mean, it's..." She wasn't usually one to get tongue tied unless she let her emotions get the best of her. Mimamoru chewed on the glass rim and smelled the contents. They were warming and soothing. "I know questioning it doesn't do anything useful and if we wanted to investigate ourselves, it could be seen as treason...I just want us all to be safe."

"If there is something brewing, I'd like us to be prepared." She finished and set her empty glass down.

Soshi looked to her and then the others. Mimamoru seemed oddly serious about the issue. He didn't think it had consumed so many of her thoughts. "So much for a fun afternoon." He muttered and ate a few more bites and licked his lips. He wasn't one for rocking the boar and poking where he shouldn't be. He wanted to handle the situation, if it was one, with care and consideration. And the group didn't need their leader freaking out and pushing them into a bad direction, which was why he decided to speak up and offer another look at the issue. "If there was a growing danger, I'm sure we'd be made aware of it. For all we know, this isn't a Hacker but the Gvn themselves trying to test us. We don't want to overact just because you have a bad feeling about something." Soshi considered. "We've had tests before where we weren't aware of them until after they were over." He pointed out.

"I know." Mima sighed. "I've just...I've lost too many people and if this is the start of something-"

"What do you guys think?" Soshi glanced to the others. He could understand Mima's reservation about just sticking to their job and letting things settle or pass. But his reservations were also valid. Which was why they were in a group. Groups made choices and had better ideas, rather than someone who was alone on their own. The Gvn knew that while it was a risk to put a lot of power in a gang of strangers, they also knew that great things could come out of such progress. The Correctors had been a valued asset behind closed doors. And as such, they were making enemies. Hackers would and handmade infections would be presented to them and yet they all followed orders without fail. Soshi wanted to ensure they were safe, yes, but he wanted them to remain level headed.

If you let Mima make a choice when she was high off of good food and drink, it would be a questionable one come down the line.

It was why, he insisted she not move in when she kept bugging him about it when they went out for a round of ramen and sake after work. She was in a great mood and therefore not thinking straight. So he was the voice of reason then, and he had to be now. "Personally, work is bound to settle down and this blip would be a thing of the past." Soshi smiled but as he did, their phones went off simultaneously, their Cnnt App notifying them of a new threat that needed to be handle. Mima opened her mouth to likely say she told him so but he cut her off, "Coincidental." He told her and pulled out his phone. Thanks to the latest upgrade, they didn't need a physical computer to sync the application with the DgtWld, they could get comfortable and jump right in. "Guess we get our snacks and get right to work." Soshi considered and grabbed a cookie and ate it before he laid back on the couch and touched his wristwatch.

A warm fizzing sensation overcame him as his body became limp and he materialized in the DgtWld, a wide black and neon green realm. It was a grid, an endless plane of vacant data. When they had to take down a foe, it's coordinates would link them to the close destination. If they were taken directly too the danger, it was likely that something would go wrong if the group was unprepared to deal with the unknown enemy. Usually they would run the extra bit or one of them would use a flashy mode of transport, depending on if they got an upgrade or recent promotion. A male in old fashioned attire and dark blue hair looked around, waiting for the others to join him. Soon he was standing beside a girl with pink hair and similar scantily clad attire. "Long time no see, Ice." She winked. Still, she was on guard and ready to get to work. No worries there.

"Oh yes, how I've missed you, E.G." Ice sighed softly and brushed some of his hair back, out of his eyes. The DgtWld was silent as usual, in the real world, Mimamoru had picked a lounge and settled down, before she connected to the DgtWld. "I think this is our chance to find whatever answers you're after." He muttered, though he was trying to be a vague as possible. You never knew who was listening to them. "if anything, these constant calls are the work of some serial killer or hacker." He considered.

"They're at X-94, we're at W-90, not too far..." Eternal Grace muttered, consulting the semi-transparent screen in front of her. "I don't have a good feeling about this though."

"Yes, words every solider wants to hear from their leader before charging into battle." Ice rolled his eyes, though he was clearly messing around with her.
