[x]More investigation and hanging out
Once again you set yourself to investigating REVOCS. The company is clearly the main threat behind everything, and your most likely opponent if you end up getting into a fight on this weird world.
As with before the info you can gather without actively infiltrating the place does not fill you full of hope.
They've mad constant advances with life fiber technology, and it seems that most of their management based employees employ empowered uniforms of some kind or another. Even worse is the fact that the high up ones seem to have a high percentage of life fibers in they're uniforms, meaning actually taking them out would get more difficult the higher you went. Who knows what other life fiber bases technology they could have in store beyond that.
Worse still is the confirmation you get…….this worlds version of your mother is the head of REVOCs. Oh and your counterpart is apparently around, but she's clearly the lesser danger of the two.
Finally they seem to be aiming to get at the teenage population of the country. This particular age group seems to have the highest resistance to the mental effects of life fibers from your own look into the subject, so it's no surprise that REVOCS wants to get them hooked.
Unfortunately teenagers being teenagers it's proving surprisingly hard for REVOCs to actually get said teenage population under control, even with REVOCS clothing, and most of the teenagers exposed to the small amount in normal clothing actually seem to be developing a higher resistance than before.
Hurray for teenage rebellion!......................never thought you'd think that in a million years.

This time you end up just hanging out with Ryuko in Mr Matoi's mansion playing board games.
…………………………she keeps beating you at checkers.
You haven't won a single game out of around thirty. Man this girl is good when she actually wants to put effort into things. All you want is one victory, is that too much to ask?
'Well it probably won't be this time around' you note to yourself as Ryuko checkmates you for the thirty first time today."
"Ryuko………have I told you that your good at this?" you ask as you clear off the board.
"Yes" she says bluntly "About fifteen times by now,"
"Well that's because you are!" you say back "How'd you even get that good anyway? Because I doubt it was all just raw instinctual talent."
"My dad often has a lot of smart guys over for company." Ryuko reply's shrugging. "I was often alone and checkers was the only thing they'd really be interesting at playing, so I got good at the game fast."
"Well that certainly explains it." You say rubbing your chin in contemplation "You definitely had a better choice of friends than I did that's for sure."
"Why?" Ryuko asks "Was they're something particular bad about em?"
"Well I wouldn't say bad," You begin "Odin Jr was civil for a pile of bricks at the very least."
Ryuko nods in understanding "Ah so he was one of those stupid meathead types."
"Yeah" you continue "As it turns out bricks aren't the most intelligent of friends, or the most active, and he wound up being used as the foundations for a nearby wall later on."
"Wait what?"
"He was a pile of bricks" You answer "Of course he was going to be used to build something. The only other real use for bricks is throwing at people, and you can pretty much do that with anything."
The look on Ryuko's face is baffled. Did she not get your point earlier? "……………you're telling me that your 'friend' was literally a pile of bricks."
You roll your eyes "Of course! Why else would I call him a pile of bricks? It's not like I can call him a pile of tigers or anything!"
"A pile of tigers? That doesn't even make any sense?"
"See" you say back "That's why I can call him a pile of tigers! Because he's a pile of bricks and not a pile of tigers."
SMACK!
Ryuko slaps her forehead in frustration, somehow still being unable to comprehend your logic. "I mean that doesn't even make sense as a turn of phrase! Who even uses the term a' pile of tigers' anyway?"
"They don't" you say "Because bricks are not tigers so it would be wrong to use the phrase to describe a pile of bricks."
"Emirah?"
"Yes Ryuko"
"You're completely out of your mind? You know that right?"
You shrug "Hey if you don't get that tigers aren't bricks or all traffic cones are pure evil that's your problem."
