Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

I blinked as Ringo's eyes widened and then he literally attempted to sleight of hand his way out of the fact he just took a down of a bottle of soy sauce. He even almost choked on the air. Not cool, man. And then Ringo literally says to me that I didn't remind him of anything. Sure thing, kiddo. I'll let you get out of this one. "You consider her a friend, huh... By the way, I don't think that's how you use soy sauce." I blinked and fidgeted. "So she's fine? Maybe I should go check on her and see how she really is. If she's really fine, maybe it'll be easy for me to find her. In any case, how have you yourself been doing? Not up to any trouble I hope?"

"You consider her a friend, huh... By the way, I don't think that's how you use soy sauce. Duely noted Ringo was gonna have to use the picked vegetables to wash out the intense taste he forced down his mouth."So she's fine? Maybe I should go check on her and see how she really is. If she's really fine, maybe it'll be easy for me to find her." Ringo wasn't exactly sure on how to respond to that. All he did was nod. "In any case, how have you yourself been doing? Not up to any trouble I hope?"
"I'm doing alright." Ringo answered as he took notice of the waitress bringing over their food...while looking a little freaked out at the empty soy sauce bottle and wondering what in the world happened. The food was placed down. Ringo thanked the waitress and she went off. Ringo took the opportunity to start eating the picked vegetables. "Just my usual routine, go to work on some days, on some days head on to the stratums..."

Looks like the food arrived. Ringo said he was doing alright as I took a sip of the seemingly freshly-made tomato juice. I hadn't had this in ages. I started picking at my food as he mentioned his usual routine - work, going out to the battlefield... I smirked. "So, doing the same things as everything else... Well, I suppose that isn't surprising to me. Curiously, how do you know Layla? I mean, you asked me the same question, so isn't it only fair I get to ask the same of you?" I recalled his behavior before, when I first awoke to the power of "Hell Biker," months ago, he seemed to follow me in because he thought he could help me out. Well, he did help me out, but I guess I ended up doing most of the heavy lifting. I was curious about how he met her, and why he seems to fidget and spaz out whenever she's brought up.

"So, doing the same things as everything else... Well, I suppose that isn't surprising to me" Alisa said. "Curiously, how do you know Layla? I mean, you asked me the same question, so isn't it only fair I get to ask the same of you?" Ringo wasn't sure if this is how he wanted the topic to change, but he did admit that it was only fair for Alisa to get his own answer to the question he presented to Alisa.
"I met her when taking a job from the blonde lady." Ringo began. "It was at the time I had no persona. We were heavily out numbered. I chose to use myself as bait so that Layla can get on out and complete the mission. It was then I unlocked my persona. Even with my new found power though, I was biting off more than I chew. Layla came back, her persona evolving to dispatch the remaining shadows." Ringo started to eat through his pork bowl. At least the soy sauce taste wasn't baring down on him now...

Eh... So it was boring after all. "Oh, is that so... That seemed less exciting than I originally thought..." I sighed and fidgeted with my free hand as I continued to eat my food with the chopsticks in my other hand, trying to study Ringo's demeanor. "Well, I guess I understand if the topic makes you uncomfortable! Let's talk about something else. Have you managed to find out anything interesting while you were outside in the places with the Shadows? Or have you found nothing interesting as well?" I decided to respect the kid's wishes and move on to actual business, because I feel like my own search was going absolutely nowhere. And I needed to see if other people were having the same difficulty as me.

"Oh, is that so... That seemed less exciting than I originally thought..." Ringo was honestly fearing what she thought his encounter with Layla was like. Though, for the sake of changing the topic, he left that area of thought be. "Well, I guess I understand if the topic makes you uncomfortable! Let's talk about something else. Have you managed to find out anything interesting while you were outside in the places with the Shadows? Or have you found nothing interesting as well?" Ringo thought about it for a moment.
"Nothing really of note...well except for one thing." Ringo looked around for a moment seeing as how his question is gonna be a strange one. "Did the shrine ever report any missing swords?" Ringo decided to clarify. "I found a sword at that one full moon battle there...and not long after I found its sheathe after I completed a mission there."
