mistletoe 2: mistletoe harder

[idolpro]

Who: You!
Where: Game Tower, to start
When: Day 187

[ It's snowing outside. . . ! So it's pretty cold. You know what's not cold, though? The Game Tower! It's nice and warm and you are definitely being yoinked out of wherever you currently are for a possibly familiar ~game~. Don't worry though: you don't have to stay.

Instead of the elevators opening, the rules just appear on your phone. There's hot cocoa provided in the lobby, though in limited quantity and all of them come with marshmallows. Mandatory marshmallows. If you don't like marshmallows, well, too bad!

Incidentally, there are also a bunch of green plants growing around . . . everywhere. Everywhere!! At the doorways, in the elevators, just hanging from the ceiling, growing parasitically on plants that aren't even mistletoe . . . !? Where did they come from!? They're all tied with a red ribbon too, to make them more easily visible and clearly part of the game. They're not restricted to the game tower, either - the only places mistletoe doesn't show up in are the unit dorms. ]

RULES | TURN-IN - due 12/26/19 @ 6PM PST

[Fwumps onto the pillows next to them and claiming them as her own.]

This is the kind of game you're into, isn't it?

[notadrop]

[ lazily looks over at her ]

Yeahhhh, but if I act shy it attracts a bunch of people 'cause everyone will want to embarrass me or whatever.

[purrrnicious]

You sure you're reading this crowd right?

[Digs at a couple of pillows so they shift more to her side. And then another. And another. And so on, you get the deal, all of these pillows are hers.]

[notadrop]

[ ...watches her do that for a moment, and then

just flops onto her. kohime is pillow now. ]

Uh, yeah? They're always all over my deep shame.

[purrrnicious]

[Squeaks

and now her tail is twitching irritably]

Hey–– get off.

[notadrop]

You stole all the pillows.

[purrrnicious]

Not my fault you were terrible at defending them.

[notadrop]

Right. So I'm taking compensation.

[purrrnicious]

[Squirming around to try and get her legs up under Ruby to just. Push them off.]

[notadrop]

[ wah

Ruby flops over, with a whine. ]

Kokoooo, are you mad about something?

[purrrnicious]

[Gathers up her pillows and kitty balls on them before answering.]

Like what? Getting stuck dealing with that two-faced jerk, Eichi, all the time? Or getting dumped in a game where I'm supposed to make nice and kiss all the people that just tried to tear us apart? Or that they all let, like, five teams walk without a whisper about scores and playing they would've come after us for? Or that they murdered Yvette and we're just supposed to move on like it's no big deal?

Your pick, I guess.

[notadrop]

That's all like, super legit? But you seemed less like, touchy or whatever before today. 'S it really just having to do dumb kissy stuff that's got you like this?

[purrrnicious]

Yeah, it's dumb. I don't care if we win this one or not.

[No.]

[notadrop]

...Did you talk to Eichi?

[purrrnicious]

Oh, sure. We talked plenty.

[It went great, she swore to ruin him and he declared himself her 'villain'.]

[notadrop]

That sounds like you tied him to an anchor and threw it into the bay.

[purrrnicious]

Oooooooh, good plan~

Any other suggestions?

[notadrop]

You know, if you actually get rid of him we're just gonna get someone that's like 90% likely to do a backstab instead of 20%.

[purrrnicious]

If we get some creep that turns on us then I'll deal with them, too.

[notadrop]

Orrrrr we could not have to delete new guys every ten seconds.

[purrrnicious]

Hey, this was your scenario, not mine. What are you complaining to me about it for?

[notadrop]

You like, made it your scenario! It was a joke! Kokooooo!

[ huff huff! ]

[purrrnicious]

Uuuugh, don't freak on me. Why don't you just tell me what you want instead of trying to lead me around with questions?

[notadrop]

You avoid answering me when I do that, question leading works sometimes.

I just wanna know how you're doing, nerd. Without all the self-defense.

[purrrnicious]

[Flicks her tail sharply, twice, and then abruptly pounces Ruby. ]
