A strange email....

Hey friends!

It's been a minute since anything has been posted on the dev blog proper, but I've got something to share. Today I received an email containing a video and a photo of the contents of an envelope had been sent to me. I can't seem to embed the video itself, so I'll have to describe what's going on with that. It's rather interesting though—it was a doorbell video. Weirdly enough, the person recorded on it seems to be... The SPU Delivery Guy? Y'know, the one who delivered those packages from the Puppet Master way back. He's talking to someone inaudible off-camera, but more importantly, what is he doing here?

Hang on, let me transcribe it for you...

"Yo! Is anybody home? I've got a rush delivery for P̸͡L̸AY̴͢E̢͘R̷̸!

...Oh, they're not home again? Man, I always seem to miss them whenever they've got a package to receive huh? Sure, it's been a while since I've last been here, but it's kind of a weird coincidence that they're never around whenever I am. Kind of a shame too, as I probably won't see be able to meet them for real in the future. Either way, there's an envelope that's addressed to them, so if you would be so kind to hand it to them when you next see 'em, that'd be fantastic.

...What? What do I mean I won't be able to meet them? Well, I'm leaving the city, actually. This is my last day at work y'see, and I'm leavin' for greener pastures in two days. My boss didn't want to extend the duration of my contract, and I decided enough is enough. Too much freaky stuff happening 'round these parts anyways, what with the freak accidents at Axis High 'n all... I don't want any part in it, so I'm headin' to Galar. I've found some work there instead.

...Yeah, thanks man. I'll do my best out there. You take care, too. You better stay safe out there."

...And that's it.

The second thing that was included in the email is the package itself—the envelope that the guy delivered.

Inside the envelope was...

Tickets for a farewell concert for Risa Raider...? But... That shouldn't be possible. As we all know, she's...

...

Oh, the mail that contained the video and photo had a bit to say about the ticket.

"The tickets seem legit, but there's something off about them. When you hold one up, it looks as if the image of Risa on the front of the card glitches out ever so slightly, as if she's opening her eyes to smile at you. I'm not sure if I hallucinated it or if it's real, but the tickets give me the creeps."

Finally, the email described a date was listed on the back of the ticket.

July 13th.

Strangely enough, there was no venue location included... But instead, it lists that a promotional video for the concert shall be released that day. Perhaps the place where the concert will be held will be announced in that video?

Something shifty is going on with this whole thing, that's for sure. Perhaps it's best that we keep an eye on the situation for now. We'll keep you posted!
