Who: Mars and YOU
Where: hotel lobby
When: day 80, morning

[good morning, idols! today Mars has set up a little booth with the following sign hanging out front:]

Are you a person in need? Do you want help? Do you ALSO want points? Come here for free (FREE!!!) advice from an advice pro.

Insert question, receive a genuinely helpful response**, free of charge. Win-win-win scenario!!

** Quality of advice may vary, not responsible for any unintended and less than satisfactory consequences that may stem from acting on said advice.

[WELL, ANYWAY]

[Mars sits with his feet propped on the booth smoking a cigarette, watching as people pass by. he's dressed like a Taisho today in outfit number 5 with his henshin belt around his waist]

Comments

[foolmetwice]

[shivers a little bit, because cold!! and pulls back when Persephone lets go]

Thanks for the clean bill of health. I feel better already.

[forgottenmercy]

I'm, ah, glad. Especially since you should take care of yourself if you're going to keep giving advice.

[foolmetwice]

[he says to the guy who is smoking like a chimney]

I'm thinking about setting up office hours, but dealing with people coming to me for advice when I don't feel like working kind of sounds like a pain.

[forgottenmercy]

I wonder if you could, ah, take off-hours queries as written ones only and do a vid answering them? But that isn't, ah, as points-garnering as something like this would be.

[foolmetwice]

I could give my advice publicly. Kind of like an advice column, but in person.

[forgottenmercy]

That could, ah, work.

[guesses at an advice column, anyway, from context.]

One of my unitmates did a Live where she, ah, had an advice booth a couple of times. Among, ah, other things...

[foolmetwice]

. . . what.

[what!!]

[SOMEONE STOLE HIS IDEA]






[(she literally had it first)]

[forgottenmercy]

It was, ah, a while ago...

[foolmetwice]

[grumbling]

Encroaching on my territory before I even knew it was my territory. . .

[THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS]

[forgottenmercy]

...I'm, ah, sorry, but how does that even work?

[foolmetwice]

[WAVES A HAND]

Don't think too hard about it.

[forgottenmercy]

I'm certain you can, ah, find a way to make yours distinctive.

[foolmetwice]

. . . I'll serve food at the next one. . .

[forgottenmercy]

To, ah, lure people into coming? And, ah, make it distinctive.

That should, ah, work...

[foolmetwice]

[nodnods]

Everybody loves free food.

[forgottenmercy]

Especially if it, ah, has flavor.

[foolmetwice]

Mmmyep.

[popping that p for emphasis]

[forgottenmercy]

Thank for the, ah, advice, and good luck with future advice-giving.

[foolmetwice]

Cool. Be on the lookout for a redux of Mars's super great advice giving booth in the future.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, will.
