[This video opens up to a redheaded guy in what looks like a pretty tiny apartment kitchen. Anyone who attends Kaisou High School will likely recognize him as the music teacher]

Erm...is this some kind of phishing or crypto scam? Because you're really wasting you're time if it is, I'm broke. If you need proof, I can show you my cupboard of ramen and eggs.

[He sighs, muttering to himself anxiously]

I really don't need this right now...

[fiddlestick]

Oh...

Is it one of those apps that you can't uninstall because they're part of the OS? I've never liked those...

[missingache]

Yup. Doesn't even matter if you're using Apple over Android, it's dead set on staying.

[fiddlestick]

Well it's not like I could afford to switch phone plans anyway, so I guess I'm stuck.

[missingache]

Might be making you think I'm into conspiracy theories, but even switching phones might now save you from this app.

[fiddlestick]

Really? Does it follow you on devices? Is it on the cloud or something?

[missingache]

No idea. I'm just speculating, really. Could tests it with a burner phone since those don't need personal info.

[fiddlestick]

I have a burner phone so I'll save you time: the app still shows up on burner phones.

[missingache]

Damn.

These guys have a lot of skill if they can track someone through a burner like that.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah. I don't know much about what's going on, but I'm going to wager it has something to do with magic.

[As everything seems to now suddenly in the past few hours]

[missingache]

[Two months ago he would have been very "magic isn't real". Now?]

I'd rather deal with aliens over magic.

[fiddlestick]

Can I pick a none of the above?

[missingache]

I'd rather pick that, too, but we don't really have much of a say.

Aliens you can at least shoot with guns and they should go down. Magic? I don't know how to fight magic.

[fiddlestick]

Preferably not with guns...

[missingache]

Maybe someone here knows how to counter it... or those people that have been isekai'd here.

[fiddlestick]

"Isekai'd" here?

[I don't watch anime the heck does that mean]

[missingache]

Isekai is the trope of someone regular being taken to a magical/fantasy/not normal like Earth world and they have to survive and try to find a way home.

Except I guess the people that came here are reverse-Isekai.

[fiddlestick]

Oh, really? Is that some kind of anime thing?

[It sounds like an anime thing]

It's still weird to think of people coming from other worlds...but I guess they would know different information than us.

[missingache]

It's popular in anime, but it's an old trope that's been used in literature since before Alice in Wonderland.

[The Japanese just have a cooler word for it.]

Some of them don't really know how to use tech too well, and one of the guys I talked to got trapped in the mall for a week.

[fiddlestick]

Oh, I see.

[Noted! He guesses it helps there's short hand. But more important]

How....do you get trapped in a mall for a week?
