Game: ViewScream

[errours]

Who: spacefaring idols!
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 130, late afternoon

[ There’s a musical chime from your phone. And then the world around you goes black.
—And cold. And then speckled with points of light—more and more, a shimmering tapestry of stars—

…Then, abruptly, there’s hard metal beneath your feet, the cold gone, and you’re in a wide room done in steel and chrome. Flickering computer monitors are set into the walls amidst switches and panels.

Is this the future is now dorm? Heart Soldier? No, the thick windows show you to be surrounded, still, by stars: This is a spaceship. Or, rather, it’s the Game Tower as a spaceship. Text scrolls across the various screens:

Welcome, THEMiS crew.
Contact with anomaly in: 40 minutes.

Seated across from all of you at the front of the room, in a swiveling chair that suggests a captain’s seat, is a red-haired woman in a cream silk dress with a high slit up the thigh. Her crossed legs are covered in burn scars up to just above her knees, but her smile is all relaxed confidence. ]


Welcome, idols. I’m so pleased to be your Host today.

Sweeps? This is sooner than expected. That goes without saying.

A week on television where broadcasting companies attempted for a ratings grab to spike their ratings.

[Bless being from the 90s/2000s I guess]

Complete with over the top productions and ---

[Points to their new host]

Guest stars.

[resonantblue]

Ah. Ratings. Got it.

It is a shame that Silence witnesses space for the first time... and it has to be like this.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If you really like it, we can make a trip to the vid room and make an actual outing of it. I can do better than this poor CGI set-up.

[Even if it is, in fact, a high quality set-up]

[resonantblue]

[!]

Certainly. That could be fun. We could also incorporate it into the dorm.

Space room after the snake pit?

[resonantblue]

Have you seen ZRAEL's dorm? It looks incredible. I want to draw inspiration from that in some manner, even if it is just a room of its own as opposed to the main area of the dorm.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Eye twitch at the mention of ZRAEL's dorm. Pay it no mind]

I wouldn't be opposed to applying something like that to our common room. We gather there often enough.

...

And anything to improve the fucking furniture in there.

[pauses, noticing that--by "pay it no mind" you mean "future note to self: bug intensity about that" right?]

--Silence will look into improvements.
