REVENGE OF HOT POTATO BULlY TIME

[thepriceiswrong]

Who: You!
Where: The Game Tower!
When: Day 394, bright and early!

[ When you arrive at the Game Tower, you're automatically dropped into a roped-off section for your unit, marked by color! You also find yourself with a basket of... potatoes?

...Fun potatoes. They're exciting colors and they're all labeled with things like "Animal Ears," "Helium Voice," "Can't Swear," "Compelled Obedience" and "Vampirism."

As usual Lantana brought a book and looks distinctly more serious than this game seems to warrant. ]

It's not bad to have a breather every now and again, after all.

Remember, if you eat the potatoes you have to keep them.

LOBBYQUEST!

[idolpro]

Who: The Bravest and Boldest!
Where: Dungeon Crawler: REAL ESCAPE ROOM
When: TBD

[ Finally! You're all here in the Escape Room, as the timer hits 00:00:00.

Almost immediately when it does, there is a loud braying from...somewhere? One would think it'd be below, but it's not. It's just sort of everywhere, and is also quickly drowned out by awful noises.

Anyway, everyone's favourite maintenance fairy makes her appearance - not darting around like an annoying moth as usual, but instead perched on the Escape Room's counter. Her image constantly flickers and dissembles, and while (it looks like?) she turns her head to address everyone, she doesn't actually speak. Instead, more texts are sent: ]

happy☆day: First off, this program would like to formally thank AlcheME! and future is now for working to restore the hotel lobby to its proper state! This program has never appreciated any group of idols more in all its execution time, and if it were authorized to provide you with a greater reward than the already filed paperwork allows, it would gladly do so.

happy☆day: Unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately!

happy☆day: The seal remains broken, though the damage is repaired.

happy☆day: This program regrets to inform you that your actions continue to have consequences, and before there are any objections along the lines of "the guest stars did it", this program would like to remind every idol present that every other mass destruction incidents in this city has been the responsibility of semi-permanent residents of Tokyo-F! Furthermore, this program is neither programmed to recognize the difference between people who create more work for it and people who either allow, aid, or abet others in doing so, nor does the Madame Administrator deign to provide it any amount of compensation that may convince it to act outside its programming for the sake of individuals who by and large cause their own problems!

happy☆day: We apologize for the inconvenience, but everything that happens continue to happen because of you, and also because of the unbelievably shitty and outright lazy work of our "dear"

[ hm wait that last message seems to have just vanished immediately after being sent? weird. anyway - ]

happy☆day: We apologize for the inconvenience, but everything that happens continues to happen because of you, and this program regrets to inform you that it cannot clean up literally every single mess on its own, as much as certain system operators would like it to!

happy☆day: The current issue at hand is this: a highly destructive demon in the form of a maladaptive algorithm has been allowed to propagate itself due to a quarantine breach triggered by the lobby's destruction.

happy☆day: You may remember the struggle against the Damned Queen of Yuletide, Who's Name Had Until Recently Not Been Uttered In These Halls For Aeons, and her horrible choice in festive music! This is the same, this is the same! But infinitely worse, as instead of your sanity it is something far greater that is at risk! If this threat is allowed to go free, Tokyo-F will undergo a violent framework crash, with all failsafes designed to convey the souls contained within from the fabric of MISSING_LOC_KEY to a traditionally navigable realm rendered inoperative, which will result in every idol's permanent enmeshment within the ($incomingError.Semantic.Exception[0]).

happy☆day: To avoid such a fate, you must distract this new threat in its newly manifested form so that I may overpower and contain it once more.

happy☆day: Your reward will not only be a committee-approved alteration to your living space, but any malformed data constructs you may find littering the Lair of the Hound.

happy☆day: With all of that said! It's time, it's time!

happy☆day: Gather your party, and go forth!


PARTIES | MINGLE | THE END

POTATO ENDGAME

[thepriceiswrong]

Who: You!
Where: The Game Tower!
When: Day 394, late morning

[ Lantana shuts her book with a snap. ]

Well, since we have an smaller number of units represented here today... let's see—well, I usually award wins to the top third, which would be, oh... one point six units. As such...

[ she taps a finger on her chin. ]

Two units seems fine. So for avante en garde, which had both the lowest team score and a low individual score for the singular representative, and future is now, which had the lowest overall team average—you are the winners today. Congratulations.

As for the rest of you—I think the potatoes should wear off in the next few days, although—if you cut a potato in half, that will probably double the length, you know.

See you again soon.

[ and she's gone. ]
