TIS THE SEASON FOR A GAME

[idolpro]

[A RINGING BELL LEADS YOU TO THE GAME TOWER and also like, y'know, your normal phone alert

Today, somehow, it's a winter wonderland! there's a few inches of soft powdery snow all around, a pond for ice skating, and...several cabins?? and kitchen booths and a crafts station?? There's also mistletoe, a living room set and tree. hm.

Your host's pre-recorded hologram is there as well! It's the sheep demon from before apparently, wearing an ugly sweater of a wolf wearing a wool ugly sweater, and sipping a hot cocoa]

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, baa-baa-baa-baa-baa-baaaaaa-baa-baa-baa-baa~!

Hello again, sweet idols! Thanks for that entertaining week, it's a shame all the guests are gone. . .

But on to the future~! It's time for the holiday special! What's that? It's only been-- Whatever, whatever, I'm being paid to host! I am being paid, right. . .?

Huuuuhuu. Anyway~! Today our dear idols will be showing us some classic holiday spirit! All idols may pick 1~ to 3 tasks, and act them out. It is rather free form; feel free to perform with a group, your team, one partner, however you choose.

And the scenes for picking, aaaare~!

~Cabin in the woods! Oh nooo, there's a blizzard outside, and only one bed and one blanket, what will you doooo?
~Mistletoe! Huhuhuuu did you get caught under it?
~A sweet surprise! Create and decorate a gingerbread house or christmas cake!
~Holiday dramaaaa. What's a holiday without a bit of spicy drama?
~Sweater time! Make some matching sweaters. Ugliest one gets a prize, maybe, I can't read the last part on this cue card.

Oh, and here's a fun part: at least one winning team will be determined by vote from the idols themselves! Isn't that just, lovely?

Now, jingle those bells, dears!

[also feel free to assume your idol outfits are magically more winter themed right now]

Let's do this.

[marsascending]

Absolutely.

Also, additionally importantly, how can we use this to socialize our feral children.

[tradesecret]

They're not that feral...

[ mental smashcut to Ruby "What are you gonna do, stab me?!" Sour, Eichi "Enemy Collector" Tenshouin and Kohime "The Cat" BARiTONES ]

Ah...

[marsascending]

They’re extremely feral.

Maybe being trapped in a cabin with some friend candidates will do them some good.

[tradesecret]

Assuming they don't try to eat them first.

[marsascending]

Serious question: is that actually something we have to worry about from any of them.

[tradesecret]

Serious answer: at least one of them has spoken of eating people and another would bite just because they can.

Neither of whom are the cat.

[marsascending]

.......he always wants to eat the things that are bad for him, doesn't he.

[tradesecret]

[ If they were off camera, she'd be making the most put upon expression. Paloma can imagine it as she laughs lightly. ]

All of them.

[marsascending]

Well, in any case, we also deserve a fun break from childcare hours. What's your personal preference?

And then we can have another fun break by trying to play matchmaker.

[tradesecret]

I don't have one. Which do you think would be the most fun to do?

[marsascending]

Hmmmmm....

You know, far be it from me to turn down an opportunity to kiss a lovely lady, but I really feel like we could do something very special with the holiday dramatics. Since we've had some inspiration, recently.

[tradesecret]

Go ahead and set the scene; I'll follow.

[ thinking, thinking...

ah! aha!

she turns around, clasping her arms behind her back, and takes a few paces away— ]

[marsascending]

[ —and whirls around. ]

Sister! How dare you show your face to me, after what you've done.

[tradesecret]

I don't know what you could possibly be upset about, when I was only taking what was mine in the first place.

[marsascending]

H-how could you, on the very eve of my wedding...

[tradesecret]

Please, you should be thanking me. Who would want a partner so easily swayed by a younger woman?

Better to find out now than after the vows are exchanged.

[marsascending]

[ tears well up in the corners of her eyes; she wipes them away, and flings her hand out to the side. ]

She was my star, my muse, my only reason for living—even if it was only but a beautiful dream—

[ she buries her face in her hands, though her voice can still be heard clearly. ]

...it was a dream I cherished. Even if it was a fiction—what isn't?

[tradesecret]

[ Any trace of softness in her expression is gone as she listens, her displeasure on open display. ]

What other star would you look to, or muse to inspire you, or reason to live would you need beyond me, the sister you said you loved beyond all else? What dreams could have been greater than the one we dreamt together? Cast her from your mind.

[marsascending]

So, your true feelings reveal themselves. Pure jealousy. But isn't your vision of us as sisters a mere pleasant fiction in itself?

All my life you've been holding me back!

[tradesecret]

If that woman was the best muse you could find, dear sister, you were doing a fine job of holding back without me.

[marsascending]

[ she sweeps an arm through the branches of the decorated tree, causing a number of the ornaments to clatter to the floor and shatter. ]

I just want to grow up! Not be chained forever to this house, this mockery of a family!
