Who: everyone
Where: GAME TOWER
When: Day 8, morning

[ as the GAME ALERT goes off on idols' phones and pulls up the map app, the monitors in the lobby of the game tower similarly flare to life, showing the face of a white-haired man with eerily green eyes and matching painted nails, leaning very close to the camera and waving with both hands. the elevators are open and waiting, with the floor indicator lights over the doors showing unit names instead of numbers. trying to enter another unit's elevator just won't work, for whatever reason. there are more monitors inside the elevators, in case any of you were worried about missing this guy's intro spiel on the ride up. ]

Good morning, everyone! Thank you for tuning in~! As you may have seen on our website, today we'll be collaborating with some very special, very exciting guests-

[ he steps back, and the camera pans out until the top half of his figure is relegated to one of the bottom corners of the display, to make room for a large screen; he gestures at it with a fling of both arms, and logos with each of the units' names fill the screen. ]

-My very own juniors from Imeeji Idol Productions!

[ as he keeps talking, the logos fade out and change to a slideshow of pictures of the characters in Imeeji, some group shots, some solo, all candid shots from their past few days here, expertly taken (and in some cases possibly edited a little). ]

As some of you probably already know, it's only been a short time since I graduated from being an idol, so this will be my first time on this end of the "host and idol" interaction! Since it's an important occasion, I arranged for a special theme for today's program- mahjong! Ja-jannnn!

[ he gesticulates at the screen again, and the last shot of someone's face is replaced by this image. ]

But the goal of this game isn't building sets like your standard riichi. These tiles are just simple tools for our idols to use to show us their resolve! Their compassion! Their devotion! And most of all, their luck!

[ the camera angle switches to one where his torso is centered in the frame when he claps his hands, and he smiles brightly from the monitor. ]

But they're not the only ones who'll be working hard! Remember, everyone - idols thrive on love! That's why, please support them with everything you have! The only way the unit you hold in your heart the most can beat the others is if you cheer them on with all your love!

And with that, leeeeeet's go~☆!

[ the screens flick off and the elevator doors open, not to the large stage, but to individual rooms. as soon as you step into your unit's room, the instructions will appear on your phones. ]

[Steps out of the elevator, glancing between the box of body parts and all the gathered teams.

...

Well then]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Makes a let's take a walk motion.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Looks back at the crowd before following Nine-Nine

He didn't want people to think he was running or something]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Not going far. Just out of range of most hearing.]

What happened? I know it wasn't for the points.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Seems like my clueless unitmates aren't pushovers after all.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Explain.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The lowest tile in our hand was a 7 after the trade in the first round. My unit was worried about being attacked in the second.

[criminaljustice]

[man, the look he shoots Intensity is... well, intense.

very much an I'll Deal With You Later because he's busy with the injured right now]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Whatever, Joker. Find him when you're ready]

[criminaljustice]

[well, he's run out of people to fuss at.

SO I GUESS IT'S YOUR TURN.

approaching, not even saying anything but is crossing his arms, expectant.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I hope you're not expecting an apology. Otherwise you'll be waiting for a long time.

[criminaljustice]

[hand is definitely clutching at his arm.]

You said you want to crush me? Fine. Leave my unit out of it.

[of course he was going to take this shit personal]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh, get over yourself. That wasn't meant for you.

[toodeeptoford]

It wasn't his fault.

[unbr8kable]

[beckons him over from where she's leaning against the wall]

Hey, c'mere.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Glancing down at her leg before raising an eyebrow and walking over to Nemesis]

[unbr8kable]

[it is very shapely...more around the knee than the places one generally likes to see curves, but hey. she doesn't move from where she's braced]

Keep going. Closer.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Keeps walking until he's within arm's length of her]

What?

[unbr8kable]

Hold still.

[and she goes to punch him in the face]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[IS SQUARELY PUNCHED IN THE FACE, reeling back a step]

[furrytailprince]

... I see I was foolish to be worried about your team for Angel's sake.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is that supposed to make me feel guilty?

[furrytailprince]

Hardly. It is an observation. I doubt any one of you feel the least bit guilty.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well since you know me so well, then you also know I don't give a damn about what you say or think.

[furrytailprince]

That does not matter. You heard it.
