"I have heard such wonderful things about your work, hoobae-nim, you are doing fantastically and I am so delighted that Quasar managed to finally get another support esper on staff!!!"

???????????????

The brunette of the trio will sigh fondly and gently lead Minseo to an empty chair.

"Hello, thank you for inviting us, we're delighted to be here," she says.

"Thank you for coming! This is my partner Fugimura Hana, she's great. ...wait, did I fail to introduce people to Hana... Oh no I'm a bad partner. Hana, who do you already know?"

"Um. I - recognize Lee Tae-gun and Kim Hye-jin?" ventures Hana, who has absolutely not met either of them before today. Or anyone else here, actually. "And Yoo-min-sunbae and Seungjoo-sunbae introduced themselves already."

"Oh I am such a bad sunbae, I'm sorry." He stands up. "These are Lee Tae-gun and Kim Hye-jin; Tae-gun is my sunbae and hyung, Hye-jin is my hoobae. These are Lee Juheon and Baek Hyun-jae, they're both my sunbaes and partnered to each other, and these are Ha Si-yeon and Kim Chun-hee, likewise. They're also Tae-gun's sunbaes except for Kim Chun-hee. Juheon was Tae-gun's first partner and Si-yeon his third, and they were estranged until recently.

"And these are Baek Ji-woo, Yun Minseo, and Kim Da-eun, they're all of them my sunbaes and noonas and they're a partnered triangle. ...should I mention their ranks, I think probably not but..."

The mentioned espers bow to Hana. "It's nice to meet you, hoobaenim."

Right, yes, that, he's feeling bad now.

"Nice to meet you, too," ventures Hana, looking like it's anything but.

Aaaaaaaaaaa that's so many names though????

Does she have to keep the ages and seniorities and relationships straight??? She does, doesn't she, aaaaaaaa she can't just learn last names and go with -san, terrible, awful, who invented this language.

Oh no, that's an introvert in danger! Da-eun recognizes this! She will save you, little overwhelmed introvert!

"There are personnel files on Quasar's database, I know this is a lot of names thrown at you at once." They come complete with pictures, birthdays, and date of joining: all excellent cheat sheets for Korean honorifics.

"There are????"

.... she's been with Quasar for months, did she not - right, right, prez pissed her off and she's been touchy, and is partnered with Lee Tae-gun. Who is - himself. Yes. Okay, this is fine, she can fix this.

"Yeah, it's under -"

Congratulations, everyone! It's tutorial time for the Quasar esper database! You can search by hair color!

...wait, what??? There are??????????????

Hold on, play it cool, play it cool, it does not look good to only learn of this nearly seven years after first joining the guild, he'll just... caaaaaasually look over Hye-jin's shoulder... with just very mild interest...

Oh his hyung is so stupid.

"We could get name tags," Si-yeon suggests, quickly typing himself one and getting it to hang above his head like an MMORPG character.

"Aw! It's nice to know you have time for good ideas between your constant attempts to break yourself into itty bitty pieces!" agrees Ji-woo, who also begins typing herself up a nametag.

SNORT.

... Da-eun is just going to help Minseo with her name tag after the tutorial is concluded...

"Wait," says Hye-jin, looking at Tae-gun and recognizing his expression. "Did you not know about this??"

Hye-jin must you reveal his secrets.

It was literally not a secret to anyone with eyes.

She didn't mean to, exactly, she just made the realization she had out loud and confirmed it verbally! Now Hye-jin is too busy giggling to be able to converse or put a digital nametag on.

Honestly though, this is so helpful.

"Thank you very much," says Hana, in Japanese, with a very Japanese bow. She can just! Look these people up! At a time of her choosing! There are pictures!

"No one told me," Tae-gun grumbles.

"They literally one hundred percent did."
