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. ]

[ -- laughs, hoarse, before he can stop himself. ]

[Shuten doesn't quite smile, because that'd be macabre and ruin the cute of this moment, but he seems pretty fucking smug nonetheless]

'Least -- they left ya a sense of humor, huh?

[nods, firmly, because they can take that from his cold dead hands

--and then sways a little because he's lost so much blood.]

-- Hey, careful there!

[ reaching forward to help support him ]

[ah... well. not saying no to support. kinda leans into that.]

... Luci's got ya, right?

[another nod but like, way more careful this time.

and then fucking off to get healed and coming back.]

[ watching him with Concern as he comes back but less, now that he's been taken care of ]

How's it feel?

[wiping his mouth with his sleeve as he comes back over.]

Surreal.

It felt like I didn't have a face when he helped me out.

[grimaces]

Right? I'm grateful, but that was freaky.

I'd say maybe we'll get used to it -- but I don't wanna have to.

I wish we didn't have to, too. But at this rate, it's only going to get worse.

A whole team coulda died.

Luckily no one quite crossed that line. We keep getting lucky like that. I'm not sure how long it'll hold.

'Specially not after all this. There's gonna be grudges.

Heart Soldier Senshi managed to defuse the last demand of violence, but after this... Yeah. There's no avoiding grudges after this.

It was nice entertainin' the thought we'd all be on the same page, huh?

However briefly.

...You know, I'd be willing to take you up on that sparring match, if you're up for it.

[ -- nods. almost too eager; ]

I wanna fight -- somethin'.

I think we could both afford to work off some stress. But we should probably clean up and make sure our units know we're okay, first. Want to meet in the park again later? Or somewhere else?

[ nods ]

Parks works fer me, later. Gives us room.

All right.

[abruptly leans in to kiss his cheek.]

See you soon.

[ pauses -- it's not exactly surprising but maybe to some degree it is and he seems to debate for a moment before leaning back to give him a brief kiss on the lips

as gross and bloody as they probably still are, judging by the trajectory of Majima's fight crush relationships he will probably develop a taste for that anyway, ]
