MARKETING SIM 20XX: ENDGAME

[idolpro]

Who: All Friend Idols!
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 240, afternoon

[ Aaand cut!

Everyone’s back in the Game Tower, in varying states of disrepair! And NafunAI’s back to being a blue streak darting around obnoxiously. She stops for a moment - not because everyone’s done, because she seems to be talking to...not any of the idols? ]

Ummmmm, because? Sorry, sorry, sorry! But this program isn’t very well optimized, so rebooting can cause some errors and -- this program knoooooows you know that, don’t be rude, don’t be rude!


Awww, this program haaaaaaaaaaates maintenance time…

[ she grumbles, and then goes back to darting around. ]

Aaaanyways! Anyways, anyways, anyway! Look at all of you! So wonderful, so wonderful! This program hopes we all had fun! ☆ The fans sure enjoyed the show, and this program is happy to have had a third mostly successful run! Maybe one day this program will even get promoted to Game Tower! ☆

So let’s see, let’s see, let’s see! Your game winners are…avante en garde, BARiTONES, Taisho Roman Revolution, and pep!pep! and the Audience Choice Winners were WILD CITY and LiliS, together as one! The whole audience could feel your passion through the television screen!

Enjoy your points and your safety from everything that went wrong! This unit will stay for awhile for questions, but other than that, other than that! See you all later! ☆

[ All of the winning units are healed fully, and while the memory of any tortures their models occurred still exist, they feel like they belong to someone else - it’s basically just the knowledge that that happened, with none of them actually having experienced it.

Non-injury physical effects also remain even for winners, for up to an IC week! Except scars which are FOREVER (until paid off). Winners can have mental effects last if they OOCly want them to, but only for up until the end of day 240 or morning of 241. For everyone else, all mental effects are at least 2 IC days, and can be up to 5. ]

[ --Oh.

He approaches, but doesn't get in his way. ]

. . . Tell me what you need and I'll bring it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Looks him up and down and raises an eyebrow, but genuinely looks somewhat relieved. Considering Heart's score.

As to answer his question, he actually considers that seriously for a moment:]

Alcohol.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ No one but HSS needs to know how fucked they are.

But injured Angel is actually the most distressing of all, so. ]

--Okay.

[ He reaches out, briefly, fingers pressing into Intensity's flesh elbow. ]

I'll be over soon.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[When he gets closer, it is much more obvious that the reason Intensity is carrying her like this is because she has stitches all over her skin. Like she was pulled apart and then put back together like a rag doll.

He leans into the touch briefly with a noncommittal noise. Pausing as if he might say something. But ultimately just nods]

We'll be fine.

Come when you can.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ He drops his hand, but with clear reluctance. ]

I'll bring that wine you like.

[ . . . And whatever that garbage was that Shine liked. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Look. Mom prefers quantity over quality. And quantity is what he needs right now.

With an attempt at levity.

All things considered:]

Pretty sure it was the wine you liked.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Snorts ]

You selected it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Do you really think I'd get you something just because I liked it?





[Wait...]

That's besides the point.
