Who: Princesses & Cowherds
Where: Various parts of the city
When: Day 137, morning
[ Good morning, idols! It's. . . it's morning, right?
Even though your clocks are correct and it is the AM, the sun isn't out in the sky yet. More than that, the stars are shining ever so brilliantly today - you can see the entire Milky Way system here, in fact so clearly that it feels like you could reach out and touch them.
It might be a familiar sight to some of you idols, though there's no message that accompanies your phone.
Step through any given doorway outside of the dorms - the elevators for example, or the lobby doors - and you might find your clothes mildly transformed: the style and colors are still the same, but white constellations and stars glitter the fabrics, twinkling like the night sky. (If you're wearing white, the stars have a black outline, still twinkling against your clothes.)
This will likely persist throughout the day, although depending on the doorways you go through the constellations may change. (When the clock strikes midnight, the constellations will no longer move or twinkle, though it's player choice if they want to keep the clothes transformed to have unmoving stars.)
Outside, you'll find a lit-up pathway to Shinjuku Gyoen from . . . anywhere you are, honestly; the pavement seems to reflect the sky above to make a river of stars that run down to the park. There, you'll find a wooden platform lined with white cloth just outside the park, as well as a few fold-up chairs and cloth-lined group tables - you know, the long ones. There's nothing on them, though. The place looks primed for a potluck, but only if you're the ones bringing the food!
Lining this side's edge of the park are tall stalks of bamboo, with a wooden plaque hanging from one of the stalks. It has this written on it:
The paper tags are neatly placed in front of the bamboo, several inkwells in the ground - that is, the cement seems to be dug into in order to fill with ink - and some bamboo stalks lend to disposable one-time use brushes that start to dissolve once it's written a tag, although if you want like, you know, nicer writing implements to write with or more space on the paper you can always hit up a Taisho.
The first tag is already on the bamboo: STOP BREAKING MY CITY . . . One year later . . . things haven't changed.
At the café, the decorations inside have been replaced with Tanabata-themed items: bamboo stalks, star wallpaper and flooring, and black-and-white spotting on the seats and tables like they're for cows. The door is fixed, so that's nice - for today only, the outer walls have fencing as decoration too, as if the café is a cowpen.
The station has been cleaned up, with constellation paths going to each train. The missing train has returned, and upon searching, you won't be able to find it at the bottom of the bay, so . . . there's that! There's also a building somewhere that had a hole in it . . . but the hole is gone . . .
There are various vending machines to be found today only, both in the arcades and just around: 50 points for a broach or lapel or hairpin themed Tanabata, taking form of one thing or another: a little cow face, a constellation, weaving instruments, kimono, or other things. You know, just stay in theme. There's no option to select anything, just a little scanner where you can beep your phone and you'll get something random out of it. In other words, it's a gacha.
Nothing to be heard from the Producers today, it seems. It's quiet. It's nice, isn't it? ]

Lining this side's edge of the park are tall stalks of bamboo, with a wooden plaque hanging from one of the stalks. It has this written on it:
Long, long ago, the Sky King's daughter began to weave him a beautiful cloth. He loved it so much that the Weaving Princess would work diligently every day in order to please him - but her weaving left her in solitude, alone and loveless. Seeing this, the Sky King arranged for her to marry the celestial Cowherd. The Weaving Princess and the Cowherd fell in love, happily spending their days together ☆
However, in their love was tragedy. The two were so enamored with one another that they forgot their duties - the Cowherd his heavenly cows, and the Princess her weave. Displeased by this, the Sky King separated the two across the heavenly river - but at the behest of his daughter, he promised that the two could meet each other once every year should she finish her work.
And so, we celebrate Tanabata, for the two's reunion. When we celebrate the day when the two lovers can meet once more, we also ask to be granted a single wish! Write your wish on a paper tag and tie it to the bamboo tree; it very well may be granted to you.
The paper tags are neatly placed in front of the bamboo, several inkwells in the ground - that is, the cement seems to be dug into in order to fill with ink - and some bamboo stalks lend to disposable one-time use brushes that start to dissolve once it's written a tag, although if you want like, you know, nicer writing implements to write with or more space on the paper you can always hit up a Taisho.

What was it?

[There's a long moment before he answers because honestly at this point he knows it was stupid of him and he expectations it will be noted and...]
That we were a family.
no subject
A family? Is that how Heart Soldier considers itself?

But you don't think it feels like one?
no subject
...Yeah, at some point it started to feel less like one to me.

Honestly, I don't know. It's just -- a lot of them call it a family, and I kind of get why? It'd be nice. I think I wanted to be able to keep believing in that. I still do, I guess.

What are your needs that you need filled in order to feel okay?

...Though I do understand that having different priorities in games does make things difficult. That's true.
Is the way you feel about gameplay decisions inextricably linked to your expectations of what a family feels like?
no subject
And...I guess it does? I don't want us to die, I don't want to die, but nearly every game where our lives are hanging in the balance I have to argue with them to play to survive, it feels like...I just hold them back from doing what they really want and make them miserable. And when they hesitate and waffle so much, it feels like I don't mean as much as all these other people that they want to help. Which...is selfish and I know it's complicated but...I thought family mattered the most?
no subject
...But maybe that's not what you mean?

no subject
Would it be okay to share my perspective, as someone who resonates pretty strongly with the idea of "I don't want to die, but I won't necessarily protect myself, either"?
