Before starting the mission, there’s someone else you want to invite…

An hour later, all members for this operation are congregated inside your trusty van. Your getaway vehicle will serve this role once again. If you’re curious, Vortexia has the most underrated power one can hold: she knows how to drive. It's near 8:00 AM, the gang meeting will be in a couple of hours. You’re parked at the closest Jackey Frosties to the Titan’s home. Here, your group of 4 is preparing the little details…

“Why did you ask me to come over when I was on my way to school?!!!” The recently integrated Vera is very pissed! At least she is happy that the van is wheelchair accessible. “You could’ve told me earlier!!!”

“Earlier, I had no idea that I’d need you, though.” You point out.

“How can you not?! You always need me.” Vera corrects you. “I’m indispensable!”

“Actually, you’re here as back-up. If we need anything, we’ll tell you.” You say.

“...You brought me here only to watch? I skipped classes for this?!” Vera is pissed.

“Wait, you didn’t tell everyone that I will be busy? Vera, that was the whole point of the call from earlier!” You sigh.

“H-How was I supposed to do that and be here too...?” Vera is very confused.

“Silly Vera, you should’ve arrived at school then come here. But I forgive you.” You pat her head.

“Wha-? You! Agh!!!” Vera contains her frustrations somehow.

“As long as you protect Clutz, we’ll be good.” You don’t want to leave your star without protection.

“You treat everyone like this, huh?” Vortexia doesn’t mind her treatment anymore, she feels less special, sadly.

“Who is this?! She clearly looks evil!” Vera doesn’t know where this clumsy idol came from.

“Codename is Clutz. Stage name, Vortexia. Nice to meet you.” Clutz is very understated in her presentation, probably because she hates her codename. They shake hands.

“She’s our navigator for the day. She works for Johnny. Idol stuff.” Crossbill explains.

“Ihohoho~! He works for me! He’s one of my biggest fans, even though he was dishonorably discharged as my fan group’s representative…” Clutz goes full Vortexia.

“Bwu-what? What idol stuff? I have a vague feeling I heard about it…” Vera tries to remember, but not all details of the hours of backstory can stick with you.

You explain all the crucial Idol Agency stuff you’ve been working on! Your pride and joy: Hobosound.

“You actually went forward with it?!!! Hold on… I feel like I’m having a headache…” Vera wants to puke. She’s about to die from long exposure to stupidity.

“Here, some water.” Vortexia has her first-aid kit ready.
