Old Adam's Dateless Bar

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen..."

Adam started the International Sealing Club's meeting of the day with a professional introduction...

Or at least he tried to. He left his introductory speech hanging upon realizing that the ISC has only 5 members (himself, Bella, Renko, Jing-Jun, and Constanze). The small group size caused that professionally-done introductory speech to sound awkward, a fact that seems to be non-verbally pointed out by Constanze.

Adam coughed into his hands before continuing. "Today, the International Sealing Club will be doing what it is made to do for the very first time: investigate the paranormal phenomenons that had we humans scratching our heads in confusi-"

"Check out our Weibo page." Jing-Jun suddenly interrupted as he picked up his mobile phone and swiped through the screen. "He just vandalized it again."

Everyone pulled out their mobile phones and opened the ISC's Weibo page. The first thing they see upon entering the page is a post by one Erich Flynn, consisting of a picture of the ISC's (admittedly poorly made) logo getting vandalized by having something vulgar doodled onto it.

"Didn't we ban him from our group a few days ago?" Renko did an eye-roll at the post as she wondered.

"Must be a separate account." Constanze, who furrowed her eyebrows in reaction to the post, offered an explanation.

Adam tapped on his mobile phone several times, causing the vulgar post to be deleted, followed by a message saying that Erich has been banned from the group (again).

"I guess we have to assign someone to take care of whatever that bloody geek posts on our Weibo page in the future." Adam said as he puts his phone down. "But we'll get back to that later."

Everyone put their phones down as well.

"Anyway, we'll be having our first investigation of the paranormal today." Adam resumed his speech that was interrupted earlier. "But since we're not on the same bloody level as the Ghostbusters, let us start on something small, shall we?"


So, uh, it's been over a year since I last touched this series...

I figured that I should at least write something for it to show you all that I haven't abandoned it yet, and this short chapter is written precisely for that purpose.

Anyway, a lot has happened in real life since I last updated this series. Between the COVID-19 Pandemic, Trump's retarded lies, and the Capitol Siege, the USA sure is slowly turning into the universe's chew toy. Perhaps the Sinophobia Accords and the international retaliation against it in the YMCverse were underestimations after all, seeing how Trump has proven himself to be even dumber than the US president that came up with the Sinophobia Accords...

Alright, let's not get too political for now. The International Sealing Club investigates the paranormal, not the political.

"And that, as they say, is that."

Afterwords end here.
