Text; un: ushiromiya_eva (backdated to a little after his arrival)

How are you settling in? I'm gonna guess you haven't even started cooking for yourself yet, right?

[Was that dig really necessary- of course it was, it's Eva.]

I reached out to a few of my contacts here. Don't be afraid to get in touch with them when you get yourself into trouble, okay?

Jinguuji Ren-san's my housemate. I gave you the address already, right? He bartends at Shining Karaoke, if you need somewhere to go in a pinch. Don't worry, I've already told him you're too young to drink.

[It wasn't a romantic arrangement, but hopefully Battler would know better than to imply something like that either way- and whilst she hadn't actually mentioned Battler's age to Ren, just gonna be discouraging him underage drinking!]

Hijikata Toshirou-san used to work for the law enforcement here leading a supernatural unit called SPOON, but these days they've broken off to work independently.

Kirstein Jean-san owns a forge/gunsmith place called Volcanus with his sister (can't speak for her, we've only met in passing). He and Hijikata-san are pretty reliable for quests, they've got a lot of experience fighting.

Delivery, Christmas time (Chapter 3 Spoilers)

[onesurvived]

[Battler'll receive a package from his Auntie containing a Safety Pin from Riki's store- the instructions say that you decide on a word to trigger it, and once you call that word out loud it'll give a defensive magic barrier for up to 5 hours (it's cancelled with a different word) and is charged with magical energy.

You know, just in case he gets himself into danger!

As well as the slightly patronising Christmas message from Eva, there's another little letter slipped in: ]

We should talk. Have you been to the Flower Yards yet? Come to the Winter one tomorrow at 3pm.

It gets pretty chilly, but I'm sure you've got something warm you can wear, right?

[A note that wasn't from Eva herself, but from the little witch that lived within her. Was she dealing with Battler's Piece, or the Game Master? The best chance she had of subtly finding that out was to try and bait him out wearing his signature cloak... but she couldn't be sure it would work.]
