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. ]

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

That's right.

But, I did protect myself. I told you that I would.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

... Good. I'm glad ya did.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

[ glad i spent 2 days in front of a mirror so that i could learn to make sad emotions on my face happen so that i could start doing it without actually meaning to thanks ]

. . . In the end, there were quite a few units that targeted us. Can I say that it was justified?

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

[ please

at that he looks a bit guilty. ]

Yeah. I know - - we didn't try hittin' you with a hard one, but I'm sorry anyway.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

Oni-san, you're the one who ended up getting hurt. Please don't apologize. It isn't as if I fault you for picking us, either.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

I wouldn't blame anyone for bein' upset over bein' targetted.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

Mm, I wouldn't either. But I'm not upset.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

... How 'bout your unit?

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

. . . Is there a reason for them to be upset? We protected ourselves, after all.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

Intention's still there, ain't it?

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

I think we're more concerned about the people who played high than the people who played at all. Moreover - I know at least my unitmate cares more about the unit that targeted Heart Soldier Senshi.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

[ he exhales ]

Yeah. I can guess why he wouldn't be too impressed 'bout that one.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

. . . Well, I think he also just doesn't like WILD CITY, aha. But, it certainly leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

Wild City did get targeted lots too, huh?

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

Mm, they did.

[ with a little troubled expression ]

I wonder why? I understand why sensitIV might, with our ability to heal ourselves, but why WILD CITY?

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

Maybe they just didn't know as many people. Not like that makes it much better for 'em..

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

It would also explain their willingness to choose Heart Soldier Senshi, at least.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

Right. I know one guy on it I figure wouldn't give much of a shit.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

Who would that be?

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

Scrawny guy with black hair.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

. . . Ah, I do recall. He says he has a bad sense of humor.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

Guess that's not all he has a bad sense of.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

. . . Do you dislike him?

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[grandschemed]

He ain't my favorite. But I don't hate him.

Re: SENSITIV HEALING

[sancrimony]

. . . I wonder if that is simply the mentality people had when choosing that unit? For ourselves, my unitmate actively dislikes him and considers him to be a threat to us - rightly so, evidently - but for everyone else, it would be . . . perhaps, a matter of negative indifference?
