court dismissed.

[idolpro]

Who: the judged.
Where: the Game Tower
When: day 68, noon

[ the spectacle, the arguments, the senseless punishment seems to have done its work.

some of you proved your loyalty, and those that didn't-- it looks like this show, this whole last few days of scrambling as the monochrome plague came upon you and all the drama resulting drew back enough attention. the outside world solidifies. you solidify, if you were not solid already.

The dead remain dead: ten minutes. Ten terrifying minutes of uncertainty, before they start to stir, repaired from the damage done.

As for the winners - sensitIV, Taisho Roman Revolution, pep!pep!, and WILD CITY - those of you who are injured are now completely and painlessly healed, and you're probably not checking your phones now, but do you remember that part about being rewarded? You'll find, later, you have been given editing permissions to your profile. This comes with a disclaimer and a warning: you may change just one thing. And whatever you put there becomes real, within your self perception. This might be a good chance to get rid of something insulting on there, if you're careful…

Those who didn't win and were affected by the monochrome plague will find, later probably, that something… is missing. Something didn't come back, from their time in the gray haze. Hopefully nothing important.

Outside, the city has returned to its normal state - the monochrome and overlay plagues have disappeared from both people and places, leaving no trace behind.

BAD END=DEAD END and Heart Soldier Senshi also get editing permissions and 500 points, just like the winners. Oh, and their morality and normal state restored. Can't forget that. ]

You were right.

[ congrats or something. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'm always fucking right. About a lot of fucking things.

You're going to have to be more specific.

[puzzlers]

About what just happened, what else.

They forced conflict and unity on us and got exactly what they wanted.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

With puppet idols playing judge, jury and executioner for maximum self-blaming and hatred.

Obviously they're very good at what they do.

[puzzlers]

It's not even over.

The game was just the beginning... [ incoming shitshow 2: electric boogaloo. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Hell of an introduction for you, I bet.

[puzzlers]

[ he laughs. it's all he can do to keep from sobbing. it does become a bit unhinged towards the end, but he manages to curb it and force a lopsided smile. look. he's fine. really. he'll break down when he's back at the dorm or something. ]

Definitely. I'm, uh, only three days in.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

Who do you trust on your unit?

[puzzlers]

All of them, but I like to think there’s a little something more between myself and Cobalt, Sunset, Sunrise, and Sunshine.

[ ~*~friendship~*~ ]

[ anyway take that however you will. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Cobalt is reasonable. Sunrise also from what I know but I have not interacted with her much personally. Ask for help from them to get your fucking head on straight.

Sunset and Sunshine are bleeding hearts that visit contaminated people even though there is a possibility they can get affected as well. So if you need asspatting of that variety, you can fucking talk to them, too.

[puzzlers]

[ don't mind the wide eyed staring, intensity, but he's kind of surprised by how much of a shit it seems you're giving. now you've done it. friends for life. ]

I plan to. The last few days were just a lot, especially since I woke up and immediately had to start dealing with it, but it'll be alright. It has to be, right, because you still owe me a duel.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Don't see how pawning you off on other people is caring, Corona... He already had enough problems to not want to deal with you and King's weird timeshare shenanigans and all the entails.

Also WELCOME TO FUCKING IDOL HELL. Fuck yeah, he can remember that is his normal catch phrase]

After I'm done catching up on work. I'm fucking days behind after this fiasco.

[puzzlers]

[ he had to have known his unit mates would help him out. but, whatever, he appreciates it, whether or not intensity acknowledge it or not. and come on, now that that mess is taken care of he definitely wants to deal with the game twins. ]

Of course. Just send me a message with a time and place and I’ll be there. I’ll see you around, Intensity.
