when you're here, you're family.

Where: Just outside the Hotel
When: Day 241, Evening

[ NOT THE BEE COSTUMES - all live participants are in one of two cute 💗 bee outfits. ]

[ queen b.va spreads her new wings and throws her arms out with a GREAT BIG SMILE. challah ( who had gotten roped into this at the last second, poor girl ) is standing atop the hummer limo with b.va perched on her shoulders. the little pest has got a megaphone that she reeeeally doesn’t need, because, lbr, she’s loud enough, but she’s still going to use it and she’s still going to shout into it, SINCE THIS IS CLEARLY IMPORTANT. ]


Hello idols of Tokyo-F may I have your undivided attention please! I, B.Va, the senshi formally known as Meka, and recent Queen of the Colony, have decided to rally for something that's very near and dear to my heart [ cue dramatic pause as she clears her throat. ] ...the OLIVE GARDEN.

If you don't know what the Olive Garden is, then I'm going to be straight with you... [ points. ] you're missing out. It boasts a bounty of the most scrumptious foods and the breadsticks are unlimited and the flow of water is endless. And, if you're lucky, a chorus of Italian angels will serenade you on your birthday; delivering a handcrafted slice of Heaven for you to enjoy. [ ... ] Tiramisu! [ ...... ] It's a dessert!

But, if you can believe it, that's! not!! all!!! [ she looks down at challah in mock disbelief and "whispers".] Is there anything the Olive Garden can't do?! [ shaking her head she looks back at the ( presumed ) crowd. ] It’s the perfect place to get a little R&R and is a dedicated neutral ground! So remember, when you're here, you're family~! because we’re all considered one unit on these hallowed grounds. Pre~tty~ Ama~zing~ ne?

[Colony Member K has perfect timing and something to add.]

Um, also we made breadsticks? We had a bunch of free time. Except they're… fortune… breadsticks? I dunno. Look, fortune cookies are a thing and that doesn't make sense either, okay? Anyway, anyone who shows up gets a free one.

Two if you don't give me shit about the bee costume.

[ (Hostage??) Colony? Member? Kaguya steps forward from atop her spot on the vehicle and waves cheerfully at the camera. ]

To my family and friends, despite what it looks like, don't worry we've got everything under control, it's fine! [ Everything is fine. ]

If you vote for Olive Garden today, you'll even get these specially designed Bee Badges!

[ She holds one of the badges up for everyone to see. ]

Made by yours truly! That’s a steal, isn’t it~? Free fortune breadsticks AND a Bee Badge! It’s for a good cause, afterall.

[ (Rival?) Colony(?) Queen Ruby💖Sour is standing on a table, because they are always standing on a table, and they are also perhaps unsurprisingly surrounded by several jugs of water. Some of the water is glittery, and some of it is just in a glitter-coated jug - and there’s also a bunch of milkshakes? They taste like pure sugar and...seem to be alcoholic? It’s hard to tell. Because of the sugar.

Their antennae twitch rapidly. ]

Heeeeeello! Everyone’s favourite Ruby💖Sour here with some brand new Ruby💖Sour brand bathwater! This time! It’s! GLITTER! Hehe, and there’s also like, drinks and stuff? I’ll serve them to you, but only if you vote for the Olive Garden! Doitdoitdoitdoitdoit!!!!!! Unlimited sugarhol! Unlimited! Water!!!!!!!

[ ...also,

some of the unlimited (bath)water is actually a glitterbomb. It will explode into glitter when disturbed, and the booze milkshakes are all precariously placed between jugs. Don’t let dragons with educations in chemistry become fairies. ]

[ Colony (?) Member (???) (furi: hostage) Challah, who is mostly here to be a beautiful, ripped pillar for B.va to stand on, looks pretty out of the loop on what's even going on. But she does have at least one thing to say: ]

I don't know what's going on and this bee girl is loud, but I want to eat breadsticks. So please vote for the olive garden. I'll…. [ um. ] Braid your hair?

[ Colony? Member? Lucifel is still fairy'd, still handless, and still having a good time. Hostaging? What hostage.

honestly he's just kind of lying down on his stomach on the hummer limo and lifting an arm stump up. ]

Ohh! If you need to take care of your hands, I can still help!

[ if you ??? still ??? are injured ??? or something ???????????????? does lucifel even know what an garden olive is it seems not. ]

I hope I have helped open your eyes to the awesome that is the Olive Garden, so, if you haven't voted for it already, then I hope that you reconsider. [ she takes a sweeping bow. ] B.Va, my colony, my not!hostage, and my 🐝-utiful rival Ruby out.


[ ooc; Because of the new bonus B.Va, K, Kaguya, Ruby💖Sour, Challah, and Lucifel all get 1,350. Meanwhile Heart Soldier Senshi, alcheME!, Taisho Roman Revolution, BARiTONES, Wild City, and sensitIV attendees all get 1,050 and eeeeverybody else gets 900.]

[ JUMPS ON HIM FROM BEHIND. ]

INTENSITY!

You're welcome for all the points. Now vote for the Olive Garden as recompense!!!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Stumbles forward --- EXCUSE YOU!?

And reaching behind to give her a pat down to see if her new bee parts are fake or not]

Sweeten the deal for me, and I'll consider it.

[420blazeit]

[ NOT FAKE. ]

[ her antennae twitch about, especially when his hands brush them, and her wings are currently folding over her hiding tentacles, because they're torn up and completely unhappy at the moment. ]

How about I let you drive my new Monster Truck? I haven't even taken her for a spin, so you'd get to pop her cherry.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[What's torn up now? And why? DVA!]

And steal the honor from Hurricane? After he's being such a good worker bee.

[Is he being a brat? Of course he is]

[420blazeit]

[ the better question would be what ISN'T torn up, honestly. the wings that sprouted out of her back unsettled and unnerved the tentacles, who are now kind of beaten up and agitated, not to mention she's got stitching all along the backside of herself like her skeleton had been sewn into a skinsuit. it's great. ]

He got the honor on the last one. I want you to have this honor... for a vote, that is. Come on, Intensity. I'll even throw in a favor of your choosing. Anytime. Anywhere. Anything!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hmmmm. HMMMMMMMM.

So she didn't henshin. Good to know.

With an "innocent" smile:]

I guarantee you won't like the favor I ask. Still a deal?

[Are the breadsticks that worth it, DVa?]

[420blazeit]

[ she didn't, because then she wouldn't be able to use her henshin, and she's capable of taking this sort of pain... for the most part. ]

Don't care, Intensity, change your vote.

[ brain bees don't care about favors. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Opening up the app and shows her changing the vote from vending machines]

I'll come to collect when you've retired from your monarchy.

[420blazeit]

[ smiles. ] It was a pleasure doing business with you~! [ probably not, but she doesn't know that yet. ]

[ but also she's not letting go of him. ] And if I never retire? because this is who I am now.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[It will absolutely not be]

You want to take a bet on that, too? You'll regret that one as well.

[420blazeit]

[ SOBBING. ]

[ her tentacles slither around him and she smirks. ] A bet on what, specifically? I don't plan on changing, not again, look how beautiful I am now. So... pretty.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Yes.

Good. ... He thinks.

As he runs his fingers over one to inspect just how badly it's damaged]

A bet that you won't find a new shiny to distract yourself within in the week.

[420blazeit]

[ tips are fine! but as they continue to snake around him he'll notice that they're torn up, like they'd been attacked or gotten in a fight. that's from when the wings just kind of cut through everything to be like HELLO WORLD. ]

But that sounds boring...

I have a better bet. You'd make a terrible knight, but perhaps there's still hope for you yet, Intensity. A Queen needs somebody to help expand her colony and you have plenty of connections. Let's duel~ [ her tentacles suddenly all tighten around him. ] I could kick you ass in any playing field, Cup'a.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And his grip tightens around that tentacle]

I don't sell out the people below me. Who do you take me for?

[420blazeit]

I don't remember asking you to sell anybody out, silly. I just want some help recruiting them! [ she henshins to protect it and immediately narrows his eyes at him. ] Don't hurt them, Intensity.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh, they have armor, too?

Fascinating.

[Is her armor injured, by the way?]

[420blazeit]

[ not at all. her armor is 110%. ]

They're a part of me, are they not, so of course they'd have armor. I can't have somebody taking advantage. [ eyes him. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Taking advantage? I was just responding to them in kind.

Maybe they shouldn't be grabby with someone who grabs back.

[420blazeit]

If I'd known you were going to be handsy right back I would have found the appropriate Love Hotel room for us.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh, you can't do that. It would make your other drones jealous.

[420blazeit]

I can do whatever I want. [ going to start dragging him in that direction. ] And the workers and the knights aren't fit to lay with the Queen.

[ drops her henshin. ] But this one... he has potential.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

[Digs in his heels]

Not my kink.

[Look, he only worship kinks one (1) person as a rule. And it shouldn't be hard to guess who that is]

[420blazeit]

[ she stops trying to drag him along, but all of her appendages immediately take on a vice like grip. ]

And why is that?!
Is it because I'm not pretty enough?!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I---




[Record scratch]

What?

[420blazeit]

[ she turns around, wings flaring out to help her sell the illusion that she's bigger than she is. ]

I spend all of this time changing and you're just like them, you don't think it was worth it, you think I was better of before. Well I wasn't! I'm better not! [ she stamps her foot and growls, the stitching on her legs splitting up the back and sending a splash of blood backward. ]

How dare you! After everything I've endured to become my BEST SELF!
