QUINCY studies the possibility of allowing imports

'*QUINCY studies the possibility of allowing imports **is an article published by** The Augmented Eye. It can be read by  Jill Stingray'***while she is at home.**

## Transcript

Glitch City is one of the few places on Earth that's strictly self-sufficient, with an important rate of only 0.8%. However, that might change due to the recent shortages across the city.

Prime Minister QUINCY revealed this morning that the government plans to have a mored relaxed policy for importers. "We don't lift the currency control, but we can provide them foreign currency at a low fixed rate. That way, we can secure essential items at affordable prices." QUINCY told AE.

Some experts say that private companies are no longer working at full capacity, which is unsurprising news given that the QUINCY government has seized most of them, resulting in the shortage crisis in the first place.
Quincy

**Quincy** is the mayor/prime minister of Glitch City.

## Background

Quincy is the current administrator of Glitch City. The general public opinion on him is pretty low, as he often makes ridiculous laws (like prohibiting people on wearing socks with sandals or passing down anti-earthquake policies despite the city being very far away from seismic zones) and generally makes a fool of himself in public.

According to Stella, Quincy is just a puppet ruler with no real power, having been set up by Zaibatsu Corp. to avert attention from whatever underhanded dealings they have at the moment.

Tres Alicias

**Tres Alicias** is a reference to a possible sequel or a tie-in to another game not necessarily a sequel to VA-11 Hall-A, like how Read Only Memories is a game set in the same universe and with a ton of references, despite them being completely unrelated games. It might do something with N1RV Ann-A, the next Sukeban game.

## START

After finishing the Anna Extra Night's Demo, you unlock 'START': a mini-story that takes place straight after the end of the main game. In it Jill and Anna have a conversation about various topics based on which dialogue options you chose. After selecting every option possible you are treated to a mini-logue at the end; Anna (who is listed as the speaker in the dialogue file) talks about trust and truth what they are over a picture of herself in crutches (dubbed annacrutch\_cg\_obj in the same dialogue file) before the screen fades to black with *See you at Tres Alicias...* appearing in the left hand corner.

## Hidden Files

### VA-11 Hall-A

Some images were found in the game files of VA-11 Hall-A. They were mentioned by developers in note for Patch 1.2.1.3. Developers are pretending like there's no such thing.

One of images contains list of letters which can be deciphered through a reverse-additive cipher; they translate to "HEARDINTHEECHO", which is the name of a file in the app data folder for VA-11 HALL-A. This file, in turn, contains more letters that translate into the following (with slight modifications as a result of possible errors):

* Her.png
* Menace.png
* False Paradise.png

### VA-11 Hall-A KIDS!

  Inside VA-11 Hall-A KIDS!' installation folder an encrypted zip file named *anna has the key.zip* was discovered. When decrypted using a password constructed from hints in the game, it contained a single video file, *up in smoke.mp4*.

Gillian

**Gillian** is a bartender at VA-11 Hall-A with a mysterious past. He is known for occasionally disappearing for a few days, but is otherwise a dependable employee at VA-11 Hall-A.

Officially, he is known as "Robert", his predecessor at VA-11 Hall-A's name, whose name he took to disguise his true identity. He also hates bell peppers, even when it is mixed in with food as small bits.

He lives in a small apartment nearby VA-11 Hall-A that Dana managed to get thanks to the BTC housing program.

## Appearance

Gill has semi-long dark purple hair, thin eyebrows, and stubble. He wears a bartender uniform and often carries a casual attitude even while working.

## Personality

Gil comes across as matter of fact and competent, although he can be taken by surprise.

## Background

Gil doesn't know where he was born although he does remember an early childhood living in the Arctic.

During the Hong Kong riots, he was part of an anti-riot force but defected after stealing supplies. Sometime later, after the death of Robert, he appeared at the door of VA-11 Hall-A in a disheveled and emotional state. According to Dana, he was severely regretting something he did, although she did not know what. Finding himself without any money, she provided him with free drinks and offered him the position of a bartender, which he accepted. Dana even tries to discover who Gillian is in some parts of the game, like in the Truth or Dare game where she even compares Gil to a picture.

He also has some connections to Jamie, a professional assassin.

He was also involved with the KGB in the past. However, as the KGB was dissolved in 1991, this may also hint at the possibility that he is older than at first apparent (this would make him about 100 years old). Although that, it is also important to note that the KGB was only **officially** dissolved in 1991, and it is possible that the KGB was reinstated sometime between 1991 and 207X.

It's also known that Gillian was in England and France at some point.

## Trivia

* Gill is the one who gives you the tutorial on how to play the game.
* Gil's surname is unknown.
* It's implied that he and Donovan D. Dawson encountered each other during the Hong Kong riots.
* Gillian's name may be inspired by Gillian Seed, the main character of Snatcher for the Sega CD.
* During the truth or dare minigame, it is implied that he is claustrophobic. He also knows of a Joseph Shine when asked by Dana.
* Gil has a passionate hate for bell peppers, despite not being allergic to them.
* A member of the Unicorn Gang got Gillian into Glitch City.
* Gillian was the protagonist of the original prototype build of VA-11 Hall-A released in 2014.
Men prefer “Christmas Cakes”, study reveals

**Men prefer “Christmas Cakes”, study reveals** is an article published by **The Augmented Eye.** And it includes two versions that will show depending on your decisions of the day.

## Transcript

For the longest time, the term “Christmas Cake” referred to women aged 26 or above, who are regarded as undesirable -- just like a Christmas cake that ceases being useful after December 25th.

But men around Glitch City apparently have developed a sweet tooth.

“Who doesn’t like a mature woman?” Todd, 19, told The Augmented Eye. “They have all the necessary experience already and plus, I’m soooo tired of spoiled, immature girls doing stupid sh\*t. I say bring on the hot office ladies!”

Jill, 27, is confused. “Christmas what? Is that like the opposite of Beefcake?” After discovering the real meaning, she launched into an hour-long rant. "I'll let you know pencil skirts are the best!"

### If Alma gets drunk this last part changes to:

Alma Armas, 29, is pleased. “About damn time. I’m tired of those highschool fuckers stealing the cute boys,” After a 30-minute rant, she concluded, “THEY TOOK OUR BOOYYYS!”

## Trivia

* This is the only article that change its contents depending on whether or not a character gets drunk (Alma in this case)
Lord Lance Lavender

Lord Lance Lavender is a man that is related to Crimson Rose.

### Background

According to Art, Lance Lavender is a big name from Kanyevania. His blood apparently has some weird reaction to Glitch City's nanomachines. Once in contact with the air, it does nothing. But if still fresh and touching someone's blood, the nanomachines will initiate a reaction. Essentially, they'll just eat through the other person's body until there's nothing left.

### Relation to Crimson Rose

It's confirmed that Lance is Crimson Rose's father and the client (possibly using a middleman to send Art money) who tasked Art with tracking her down. Art is sent an envelope filled with money, and Art accepts the job. Sometime later, Art finds the job to be too dangerous and too problematic of a job to continue. However, Art is offered a large amount of money to finish the job, to which Art just can't refuse. That, and he can relate to his client's reasons for tracking down his daughter.

Art said that the reason why Lance tasked him with the job is so that he could see his daughter again one last time, or at the very least, to deliver her a message (whether or not this is really why he wants to see her is not confirmed). When Art finds her, he's tasked with delivering her an envelope from him (Art doesn't know what the letter says and doesn't want to find out).

She left years ago to earn her living at Glitch City  and he hasn't seen her ever since. Art couldn't figure out who the client at the start because he had no clue who was making the contract, and tracking all the messages to the source would've been too costly. He found out the client was by knowing who the sender was.

Art managed to track her down and delivered Lance's letter to Crimson Rose, only for her to tear it apart without reading it.

The reason why she did it, according to Art was probably because of her hatred for her father. She was born for experimental purposes; a living guinea pig for her father's condition. He was going to use her to test any treatment, no matter how unorthodox. She was experimented upon from an early age. And when she found out what her blood was capable of, she just snapped. In her own words, she realised that "I didn't have to take shit from anyone anymore, not even my father". She ran away from Kanyevania and came to Glitch City.
Hong Kong riots

The Hong Kong riots were a series of civil disturbances which ensued after the government openly tried to segregate people with augmentations from the general populace.

Donovan D. Dawson was in the city when the riots broke out, trying to start a silicone business. Gillian was initially part of the anti-riot forces, though he defected after stealing supplies.
VA-11 Hall-A KIDS

**VA-11 Hall-A KIDS** is a freeware game released on the April Fools of 2018.

The game is a light-hearted parody of VA-11 Hall-A, set in a high school with the female cast changed into schoolgirls. The plot follows Dana Zane as she investigate who crashed Sei's festival booth. Gameplay is very simple, involving mostly talking with the characters and looking into places or people. The game is also very short, being finished in a matter of minutes.

* Sei: Had her festival booth crashed, but doesn't seem very concerned about it.

## Anna's secret

The game's files come with password-protected compressed file named "Anna has the key.rar". In order to learn the file's password, the player must find Anna Graem at various points in the game. It is fuckjillmarryalma. The compressed file contains a single video file named "Up in smoke.mp4", which contains a special music track, and a 3D-rendered scene of a street. After, the scene is switched to a different street with a girl with purple hair aiming a gun at the camera. It then fades into black.
Kira Miki Blog

The Kira Miki Blog is, as the name suggests, the personal blog of lilim pop star idol and singer \*Kira\* Miki. After meeting the singer in person, Jill downloads an app onto her phone that links to \*Kira\* Miki's blog. In-game it is available to read at the start of Day 3.

Norma initially tries to get around giving Jill her ID by coming up with a wild claim on the spot, but Jill simply cuts her off asking if she has money to pay for her drink. When Norma confirms she does have money, Jill makes her her drink. At this point, the player has the option to give Norma a Fluffy Dream either with or without alcohol.

When she gets her drink, Norma seems surprised that she actually managed to get one.

If she is given a drink without alcohol, she comes back a few days later, thanking Jill for not serving her alcohol.

## Order List

December 21 (Day 9)
* Fluffy Dream (or you can give her Frothy Water or add karmotrine in the drink to trigger different reactions)

## Trivia

* Norma's birthday is on Halloween.
* She actually thinks alcohol is nasty.
Is Alice Rabbit a group? The answer here

**Is Alice\_Rabbit a group? The answer here** is an article published by **The Augmented Eye**.

## Transcript

Who is Alice\_Rabbit? Judging by the complexity of the methods they've used to breach all kinds of protected software, some are starting to think this is in fact a group and not a single individual.

So, is Alice\_Rabbit a group after all?

Not the first time this would be a thing.

More than half a century ago, a group of notorious hackers rose to prominence, and they called themselves Anon

Festivus

**Festivus** is a holiday celebrated on the 23rd of December, and is commonly celebrated as a protest against the consumerist and greedy Mega Christmas.

## Trivia

* Festivus is a reference to a 1997 episode of the American sitcom Seinfeld, titled "The Strike." This episode features George Costanza (who is referenced in VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action through Art von Delay, the private detective) and his family celebrating Festivus. The tradition includse erecting an undercoated aluminum pole instead of a Christmas tree, airing of Grievances, in which everyone speaks out about who/what has disappointed them in the past year, and feats of Strength, which requires the head of the household to select one person and challenge them to a wrestling match. Festivus is not over until the head of the household is pinned. None of these traditions are referenced in the game whatsover.
Alice Rabbit

**Alice\_Rabbit** is a notorious hacker/hacker group in the game whose identity is unknown and has caught the media's attention. During the course of the game they released sensitive information that ultimately led to the disbanding of the White Knights.

According to TOMCAT, Alice\_Rabbit is likely an individual as their methods have remained consistent and always use similar methods, plus they always seem to fit an agenda.

## Trivia

* The name Alice\_Rabbit is a reference to the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, where the titular Alice follows a white rabbit down a hole into Wonderland. This is possibly why the Alice Rabbit Logo has blonde hair.
	+ It is also possibly a reference to the science fiction film The Matrix. The main character is told to "follow the white rabbit" which ultimately leads him to fight against the matrix.

* The katakana in Alice\_Rabbit's logo (アルス) spells out "Aluce" instead of "Alice" (アリス)
* The Alice\_Rabbit logo appear briefly when Alma takes control of The Bartending Screen, implying she may have some connection to the Alice\_Rabbit.
	+ Alma has a similar hairstyle and colour to the Alice\_Rabbit logo. They are both blonde-haired, and the Alice\_Rabbit logo has a similar upwards-pointing tuft of hair, as well as fringe.
	+ When queried about Alice\_Rabbit, Alma will give a pre-prepared speech and how it's a sensationalised concept.
Bad Touch

*Italic*

A **Bad Touch** is **2** Bronson Extract, **2** Powdered Delta, **2** Flanergide and **4** Karmotrine
. All on the rocks and mixed.

It's a **Sour**, **Classy** and **Vintage** drink costing **$250**.

## Trivia

* The guy who invented the Bad Touch gets slapped a lot.
* The name of this drink is based on the song of a similar name, by the American rock band Bloodhound Gang.
* Jill will always find it funny when someone asks for this drink, except once, when she will be in a bad mood saying only "Whatever...".
Mulan Tea

*"A coveted tea-based liquor. Tastes like green tea and kicks like whiskey."*

**Mulan Tea** is one of the bottled drinks available in VA-11 Hall-A, costing **$500**. It is the preferred drinks of \*Kira\* Miki and is required to get her ending.

Jill needs to buy it from JC Elton's before it can be served at VA-11 Hall-A.
Deal

Piece o' Scrap

**Deal** is a Lilim, the best friend of Betty, and a regular patron at VA-11 Hall-A.

## Appearance

Deal has extremely pale, white skin, a trait shared by all Lilim seen thus far, as well as completely black eyes with white irises. He is fairly short, and his neck appears to be in segments. He is always seen wearing a button up shirt and tie.

## Personality

Deal is rather straight laced and matter of fact most of the time.

He has an extreme love of dogs, Corgis in particular, meaning he greatly enjoys his work at the Seifar Toy Company. According to Betty, he sleeps with a Corgi plushie and has a wall dedicated to photos he's taken at the company.

Deal does not enjoy alcohol much and is not a big drinker.

## Background

Deal's specific make of Lilim is a DT-01d. Although a social development robot, DT-01d's are "work Lilim", designed for resilience. Although Deal never upgraded his muscles, he can easily withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius.

The name of his adoptive guardian is Juergen. Juergen apparently has a bad back and is reluctant to take medicine for it, claiming he's "not that weak". Although Deal passed his personality tests years ago he still lives with him.

Deal used to work in the department of the Artificial Intelligence Council that handled Lilim adoption for some time, meaning he has very detailed knowledge of the process.

One of Deal's neighbors has a dog that works at Seifar. This neighbor was the one who originally told him that the company was looking to hire humanoids. Deal now has the job mostly because the company legally has to have one humanoid on the payroll. He works as an "office boy", but with greater duties as he often has to perform jobs and functions that his employers are unable to complete because of their lack of thumbs.

## Plot

Deal and Betty first come in on Day 4 arguing about the loud banging noise outside.

## Order list

**December 9 (Prologue Day 1)**

* Something non-alcoholic
* A non-alcoholic surprise
* "Anything"

**December 11 (Prologue Day 3)**

* Fringe Weaver

**December 30 (Day 18)**

* Something non-alcoholic
* Piano Woman

## Gallery

Deal and Betty from the original soundtrack
## Trivia

* Deal has a love of dogs which likely explains why he works at company run by them.
* On December 30 (Day 18) he lists all the ex-partners of Beatrice Albert, the list is a reference to the song "Lou Bega - Mambo No.5"
* Uses the word "Oklahoma" as a safeword if Beatrice Albert tries to start a fight.

CALICOMP

**CALICOMP** (stylized as **ＣＡＬＩＣＯＭＰ**) is the OS in every device found in VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action and N1RV Ann-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action.

It is the most popular brand of computer hardware and software this side of dystopia, and the moe OS for the bartending software used in VA-11 Hall-A and N1-RV Ann-A.

The Operating System was introduced during the 2060s. It's copyrighted "Keeree Joe Group" and a registered trademark of "Banjo Group". Its main colors are white and blue and the logo features a chibi face.

## VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action

The Operating System used in the bar. It displays the bar's cash, two slots for drinks, 5 different types of ingredients, a mixer and different buttons used for mixing drinks, these being *Ice*, *Age*, *Reset* and *Mix*.

CALICOMP's version used in VA-11 Hall-A is the 1.1.

## N1-RV Ann-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action

This bar also features this Operating System, in this case in its 3.0 version. Not much of it has been shown yet, apart from the quantity of ingredient's marker and a "shaking bar".

CaliCOMP also makes phones, Jill using one of them. CaliCOMP gets updates more than any other system in the world; Alma has made a CaliCOMP hack program, and every week she uses Jill's phone as a guinea pig to test her program.

## Early design

* During development.
* Pink wallpaper.
1/2
In its early concept, the OS would have allowed the player to add recipes and change the wallpaper, but those features never saw the light of day.

### Alternate wallpaper

A remnant of this feature can be seen as an alternative pink wallpaper which can be obtained in-game by completing the Model Warrior Julianne Game and clicking on the jukeboxes next to the bar UI.

## Startup video

 Trivia

* "Keere Joe Group" is a nod to Kirijo Group (which is a part of Nanjo Group) featured in Persona 3.
* The CaliCOMP isn't perfect, as Brian, one of the BTC regional managers, has "received reports of some CaliCOMPs suffering a bug where the names of the orders don't match up with the recipe."
Frothy Water

A **Frothy Water** is **1** Adelhyde, **1** Bronson Extract, **1** Powdered Delta and **1** Flanergide
. All aged and mixed.

It's a **Bubbly**, **Classic** and **Bland** drink costing **$150**.

## Trivia

* This is the most obviously correct drink to serve to Virgilio when he asks for "something fake"; serving any other drink also works, however, and will result in a different positive response.
* The name and description are a reference to the first English dub of the *Dragon Ball Z* anime, which edited steins of beer into other liquids (such as water) in order to avoid depicting alcohol. This led to the Frothy Mugs of Water card in the *Ani-Mayhem* trading card game.
Mario

**Mario** is a cute delivery man who initially visits VA-11 Hall-A acting like a tough guy, but then changes when Jill heavily chastises him for doing such a thing for respect.

## Appearance

He has a relatively unkempt haircut and attempts to appear as a stereotypical tough biker, sporting typical biker attire, sticking to a red biker jacket with goggles strapped to his left arm. He has either a scar or a stylistic shaved portion cut out of his right eyebrow. He's also cute.

## Personality

At his first appearance, he tries to put up a tough front, acting rude to Jill in order to keep up that front, but his true personality is actually much different. After he is confronted on his behavior by Jill, he acts more like himself, and he changes his typical drink orders to be more girly, and even starts to ask Jill if Gillian is single before becoming scared of revealing his orientation and leaving the bar.

In his first appearance he also comments that the boss is cute and *"...not that you're not cute. And it's not like I'm into girls either,"* implying he is gay. At his second appearance he says clearly that he prefers men.

Mario's relationship with girly, cute things, his desire to be like "other bikers" hint that he is gay. He confirms this by hitting on Gillian.

## Plot

Mario first comes into the bar on Day 9 (December 21) asking for the bathroom in a rude manner. He orders manly drinks to pretend before Jill, but secretly wants girly drinks. He says that he's a rebel and a motorcyclist but he actually works delivering mail for a courier company.

## Order list

The following are the list of drinks which Mario will ask for during the course of the game's story (drinks in *italics* are ones that aren't explicitly asked for but will not be classified as mistakes if given):

December 21 (Day 9)
* Marsblast or *Piano Woman*
* Gut Punch or *Moonblast*
* Fringe Weaver

December 27 (Day 15)
* Marsblast or *Sunshine Cloud*
* Piano Man or *Piano Woman*

Riots intensify as we approach Megachristmas

**Riots intensify as we approach Megachristmas** is an article by **The Augmented Eye**.

## Transcript

Megachristmas can be harsh for people in Glitch City, especially given the current political and economic climate.

Parents can neither afford gifts nor traditional dishes due to high prices and shortages. It certainly looks like it will be a grim month for everyone living with just the minimum wage, which is about half of the population.

Now, citizens from all districts seem to be looking for a definitive answer to their problems, and they're taking their frustrations out to the streets.

“I want my holidays back. It’s not fair that we have to give up on our customs because you idiots suck at economy," said a protester during today’s manifestation.
Fore

**Fore Julius Stingray** or "Fore" is Jill's cat, whom she talks to whenever she's at her apartment.

## Appearance

A domestic short-haired black cat with blue eyes.

## Personality

There's little information available on the character besides the fact that Fore always stays by Jill's side when she's at home. Nonetheless, there's evidence that Fore is trained and understands basic commands given out by Jill or possibly other sentient beings. Jill also claims he's a total recluse who rarely leaves her apartment and gets upset if even a bit of furniture gets moved around.

## Background

Roughly two years before the events of the game Jill found Fore as a stray while he was being cornered by a pack of dogs. Jill drove off the dogs and continued on her way home assuming Fore would go back to his mother. Instead, he followed Jill home and ultimately she opted to keep him.

## Trivia

* Jill called him Fore so that if he ever got lost she'd have the opportunity to shout "Foooooooore!" outside of a golf course. She also mentions he's partly named after a Lilim kid who wanted to transcend (the Lilim gave Jill a finger of his, and Jill made that finger into a pendant that she wears, with the exception of showers).
* The "Fore" that talks in Jill's apartment is actually Jill pretending that Fore could talk.  This is revealed while Jill is drinking beers with Dana.
* Fore appears as main character in "Sapphic Pussy Rhapsody" [1] . A short novel written by Fernando Damas, along side with Anna Graem.

Gabrielle

* VA-11 Hall-A
* VA-11 Hall-A KIDS

**Gabrielle** is the younger sister of Lenore.

## Appearance

Gabrielle is short in stature with a small bust and fairly pale skin. She has greyish-blue eyes and a usually wears a severe facial expression. Her hair is long and brown and is tied in a sort of ponytail with a red ribbon further down her hair.

She usually wears a red, spotted scarf and a brown coat.

## Personality

   Gaby is initially cold and curt to Jill in their first encounter at VA-11 Hall-A; she doesn't say anything in response to her at first and is somewhat irritated when Jill does not remember who she is. She is also somewhat spiteful and childish, blaming Jill for the death of her sister and lying about Lenore's symptoms getting worse after Jill left, seemingly in an attempt to make her feel more guilty.

Despite this, however, this was likely just a byproduct of the grief caused by her sister's death, along with her still being a teenage girl. After Gaby made up with Jill, she smiled often and enjoyed talking to her for some time, as well as spending the night with her and Alma in one of the games ending's, showing her to be a kind girl at heart, and was simply sad over Lenore's death.

## Background

Gabrielle is Lenore's younger sister by over ten years. She was there when Jill was in a relationship with Lenore and Gaby had a younger-sister, older-sister bond with Jill.

## Trivia

* Once you beat the game Gabrielle appears on the title screen alongside Jill.
* If you get Alma's Ending she appears in the post credit epilogue.
Absinthe

A bottle of **Absinthe** Jill brought to VA-11 Hall-A from her home.

This drink will only appear if Jill does not correctly serve Stella on the first day they meet.

## Trivia

* Upon seeing the bottle, Taylor will ask for a Green Fairy (a nickname for Absinthe). They quickly notice their mistake and ask for a Blue Fairy.
* The first versions of Blue Fairy was described as "Sweeter Absinthe".
TOMCAT

**Julian Thomas**, otherwise known as **TOMCAT**, is a hacker who has been tracking the infamous Alice\_Rabbit for fun who stops into VA-11 Hall-A during their search.

They appear if you give Alma a Flaming Moai at any point before Day 16.

## Appearance

TOMCAT has an androgynous face with hair coloured purple on one side and blond on the other. They wear a loose fitting purple sleeveless top and are always seen smiling.

## Personality

TOMCAT is whimsical and mischievous, deciding to track down the most notorious hackers in Glitch City because it seemed like fun. TOMCAT appreciates skilled hacking, both praising Alice\_Rabbit for their ability to cover their tracks while at the same time criticizing them for being "sloppier" than their first few attacks.

## Plot

TOMCAT is tracking Alice\_Rabbit when they stumble into VA-11 Hall-A, apparently having temporarily lost the trail. When Jill asks for their name, TOMCAT says it's better if their name remains a mystery for the time being. Jill tries to check their name but the registry has been hacked so that TOMCAT can pay for their drinks while remaining anonymous.

TOMCAT explains why they're in Glitch City, saying that curiosity got the best of them after the massive leak of the White Knights' insider info made international news. When asked if they're working for someone, TOMCAT replies that, no, it's just for fun.

Jill and TOMCAT go on to discuss the identity and modus operandi of Alice\_Rabbit. TOMCAT says that they doubt Alice\_Rabbit is a group using the name as a symbol, as Alice\_Rabbit's actions are too consistent. Therefore it's likely that Alice\_Rabbit is either an individual or a group being lead by an individual.

After awhile TOMCAT says they have to get going and tells Jill their name right before they leave.

## Order list

. All mixed.

It's a **Sweet**, **Girly**, and **Happy** drink costing **$150**.

## Trivia

* Being able to make a Sugar Rush is a basic requirement for becoming a bartender, since it's so simple that if you can't even make one of these you're not fit to mix drinks, comparing it to frying an egg in cooking.
* A Sugar Rush is considered a basic drink by many, and it was the first drink ever created on the VA-11 Hall-A bar's CALICOMP system. It's a favourite drink for many.

Zaibatsu Corp.

Zaibatsu is a mega corporation that owned, among other things, the White Knights and either owns or manipulates a number of media outlets such as The Augmented Eye. For all intents and purposes they run Glitch City.

Many demonize Zaibatsu as the source of everything that's wrong and corrupt in Glitch City, although Zaibatsu has also done beneficial work as well. For example they started the AI Integration Program, which has lead to countries around the world seeing the benefits of recognizing AI as citizens.

The medical branch of Zaibatsu has also made incredible advancements, with more and more diseases that were previously thought of as being incurable being treated every year. However this medical technology is often only accessible to people who can afford it and many lower to middle class citizens are left without treatment.

On the flip side, Zaibatsu's oversight of the White Knights has been negligent and they often turned a blind eye the the corp's illegal and corrupt going ons. On top of that, Zaibatsu's methods in forming the White Knights was done in such a way that they effectively existed outside of any jurisdiction and could be borderline illegal.
A Fedora

A bottled "drink", consisting of **a fedora** filled with perfume and a plum, costing **$500**.

## Trivia

* Virgilio asks for this drink directly on his first visit to VA-11 Hall-A, certain that Jill would be unable to fulfill his request.
* This is a reference to the episode of The Simpsons entitled "Homer's Barbershop Quartet", where at Moe's Tavern Yoko Ono asks for "A single plum, floating in perfume, served in a man's hat", which Moe instantly produces from under the counter.
I think Alice Rabbit might be a dog...

**I think Alice\_Rabbit might a a dog...** is an article published by **The Augmented Eye**.

## Transcript

A dog, you say? Why not? After receiving brain enhancements, they're capable of learning at near-human speeds, so why is it so impossible to imagine a gifted dog who uses their brilliance for programming?

It makes a lot of sense, right?

Well, maybe,

## Additional Notes

* The binary code at the end of the article translates to "**THE RETRIBUTION IS CO**"
* The typical colour for the article typing is black, but the binary code at the end of the article is purple, hence Jill says "those purple numbers"
DANGEROUS OPINIONS

**DANGEROUS OPINIONS** is a forums app that goes by **DANGER/U/**, available on Jill's smartphone starting from Day 2.

The app is a text board website where users generally post anonymously. It's probably split into various boards with their own specific content, and /u/ (opinions/random board) may be the one that receives the most traffic.

* Miki concert 2
* Let's talk about ALICE\_RABBIT
* Miki concert

* The name DANGER/U/ might be a reference to Sukeban Games' old name, DANGEMU.

Donovan D. Dawson

**Donovan D. Dawson** is the owner and CEO of The Augmented Eye, ex-employer of Kimberly La Vallette and a customer at VA-11 Hall-A.

## Appearance

Donovan is a tall man, with dark skin and a thick moustache. He has brown eyes and thick lips. He is always seen in the game wearing a button up shirt and tie with the top button undone.

## Personality

Donovan has a very crude personality and is often one to speak his mind. He states that he cheats on his wife almost as much as she cheats on him, and when looking to hit on \*Kira\* Miki, asked Jill if she'd seen the "Big tittied lilim".

Despite his crudeness, however, he appears to be an extremely intelligent man, owning and running The Augmented Eye, and perhaps more impressively, learned Cantonese in just 2 weeks, because he didn't want to be seen with his translator.

## Background

Donovan has been married at least twice and is still paying alimony on at least one. Years ago he went to Hong Kong to try to start a silicon business and was in the city during the Hong Kong riots.

## Order List

December 13 (Day 1)
* Big Beer
* Big Beer
* Big Beer

December 14 (Day 2)
* Big Beer
* Marsblast
* Something bitter

December 15 (Day 3)
* Big Beer
* Bleeding Jane (or Big Beer)

December 29 (Day 17)
* Big Beer
* Moonblast
* Pile Driver

## Secrets/Alternative Dialogue and Drinks (To be added...)

* Day 1 - On his second order, if you stuff up the order and serve Donovan an alcoholic bubbly drink (excluding beer), he will rant about bubbly drinks served by "big titted blondes in dresses showing lots of cleavage."
* Day 1 - If you serve him a regular beer for his first order, he will ask for a big beer. Serve him that and another big beer, and instead of asking for another big beer for his third order, he will instead ask for a big, bitter non-alcoholic drink.
* Day 1 - (to be edited) After his third order, (I think he needs to be drunk) he'll either complain about investors and storms off shouting his name at the top of his lungs, or talks about buying the Augmented Eye and leaves like a normal person should.

## Trivia

* Donovan and Kim share the same birthday.
* Donovan is in an open relationship with his wife.
* Donovan's appearance and personality is similar to J. Jonah Jameson, Peter Parker's boss at the *Daily Bugle*.
* Depending on your actions in the game (Make him drunk on Day 1 and serve him Big Beer twice), Donovan can either stay in the Augmented Eye as chief editor, or he will quit. If he quits, he can mention that he always wanted to start up a hairdressing business.
* His father is a cars salesman and his mother is a economy teacher.
* Donovan knows racial slurs in German. Later in the game, it can be revealed that Donovan spent most of his life in Germany (though he wasn't born there and isn't of German descent).

. All aged, on the rocks, and mixed.

It's a **Spicy**, **Promo** and **Bland** drink costing **$230**.

## Description

Described as being brown and spicy for a few drinks but the more you drink the more it tastes like sand.

## Background

There's an origin story, this an extract from the game.

Deal: I wonder why it's called a Bloom Light.

Jill: Seems it was first developed at some video games event. The creator said something about making the attendees feel like their customers do. Said attendees were, of course, part of some big games company. Seems that company always used too much bloom lighting, so the bartender there literally made them drink all the bloom.

Betty: So it's not called that because it glows in the dark?

Jill: Not this one, no.
Crime rate up 5% this month

**Crime rate up 5% this month** is an article by **The Augmented Eye**.

## Transcript

Crime is up 5% this month, officially making the road to Megachristmas a dangerous one.

White Knights, aware of the situation, have promised to maintain security in all sectors, even though recent budget cuts have been decreasing the morale of their personnel.

### **An Uphill Battle**

Poverty and the lack of opportunities are no longer the main causes of crime.

Criminals come from all walks of life. They will murder and distribute drugs for no other reason than the fact it gives them power. It’s no longer about feeding their families. It's about domination. There are entire sectors controlled by these dangerous gangs and there’s no solution in sight. This Megachristmas will be a very dark one.
