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. ]

Then just say whatever it is you came to say!

[criminaljustice]

Why? So you can keep twisting my words to fit into your warped mindset that I'm some manipulative bastard out to get you to fit in with your paranoid mindset?

I already said what I was going to say. Take it or don't.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Out to get---

[Starts laughing]

[criminaljustice]

[SERIOUSLY, CAN I JUST FUCKING PUNCH YOU?]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Actually YES. He's even going to encourage it]

C'mon, Boss.

[Holds his arms out open in front of him]

Give me your best shot. I'll show you that you can't hurt me.

1/2

[criminaljustice]

[stares at him.

and just.

challenge fucking accepted.

moves in to grab him by the lapel, pulling his stupid tall self down to his level and looking very much ready to just throw another fist.]

Keep in mind, you asked for it.

[criminaljustice]

[and then he moves in for the kill.

which is to say, I BET YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING TO GET KISSED, NOW WERE YOU, YOU SMUG BASTARD?]

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Grabs a fistful of Joker's hair and yanks his head back]

. . .

[criminaljustice]

[yeah, sure, he can do that.

there's only a bit of a wince, but he sure as hell looks like he got what he wanted out of this.]

Problem?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yeah.



Don't start what you can't finish.

[Cue trying to bodily shove Joker up against the nearest wall]

[criminaljustice]

[gets shoved up against the wall and is embarrassingly more into it than he really should be, gdit, and stupid height advantages has him pulling at Intensity's lapel again.]

Big talk coming from someone who's full of no action.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

How dare you.

[Glaring and scowling for all he's worth before he leans down for an angry retaliation kiss (with Intensity in charge this time THANK YOU VERY MUCH)

His hands tug at Joker's wrists that are pulling on his collar. Stop that.]

[criminaljustice]

[Make me! is all in making that manhandling difficult and the kiss back, too, because there's just no way he's just going to let Intensity have the upper hand here. probably that's not the right way to look at it and this is all kinds of messed up but also he's kind of smirking a bit because he definitely got under Intensity's skin with that last bit.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Messed up. Messed up? This --- whatever this is --- is going to get even more messed up when Intensity makes less an effort to actually kiss and more an effort to bite. He digs his fingers into Joker's wrists in another attempt to pry Joker's hands off his lapel at the same time he tries to sink his teeth into Joker's lower lip.

Who the fuck does this smug fucker think he is anyway!!??]

[criminaljustice]

[this smug fucker is the man without a plan because he definitely, one hundred percent went into this without a plan.

he also wasn't anticipating the roughness but doesn't complain about it. his hand loosens its grip on the lapel as he catches his breath, a quiet but rough sound escaping him.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Joker will probably more feel than see the asshole smirk on Intensity's face after he hears that sound. Got you. Unlike Joker, Intensity has already set up winning criteria for this game.

He pushes forward again, raising Joker's hands to pin them to either side of his head against the wall.]

[criminaljustice]

[you'd think a guy who remembers being cuffed and in chains a bunch would probably hate the whole being pinned idea, but GUESS NOT? he doesn't really fight that hard against it.

and he still doesn't let himself look like he's lost control of the situation, just mostly looking expectant like "What now?"]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Normally that would be eyroll worthy but Intensity's too far gone in his little game to even notice. He leans in again, this time he aiming to scrape his teeth along Joker's neck before latching on more forcefully.

Joker wanted Intensity's attention so bad. Fine. FINE. Then let everyone see that Joker had it.]

[criminaljustice]

[oh you bastard.

and even worse, he wasn't expecting his neck to be sensitive or to get this flustered. he starts to push back against the holds on his wrists but he's already lost the advantage here and just bites his lip to keep from making any embarrassing sounds.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Once Intensity is satisfied with how dark the mark is, he steps back and lets go of Joker's wrists]

I win.

[criminaljustice]

[that feeling of practically vibrating in your skin and so you haul off and aim a kick at an asshole's gut.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[IS KICKED SQUARELY IN THE GUT and probably knocked on his ass.

He's laughing though]

[criminaljustice]

[LEAVING NOW BEFORE HE ENDS UP TRYING TO CURB STOMP YOUR SMUG ASS.]
