Who: You! (unless you're WILD CITY!)
Where: Here!
When: Day 243, Evening

[ Wherever you are, your phone starts pinging you incessantly:

• CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS!
  
  CLICK HERE TO RECEIVE YOUR PRIZE!

That . . . doesn't look safe! But you can't use your phone otherwise. Hm!

Eventually—whenever you click on it—you'll find yourself redirected to the Producer's channel on Dissonance, with the following new messages: ]

• Producers: CONGRATULATIONS, IDOLS!
  Producers: With all your hard hard hard work, we've received
  Producers: ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*~~~A budget increase~~~*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ !!!!
  Producers: Isn't that fantastic? We're bigger and better than before, and it's ☆♬○♩●♪✧♩all thanks to you♩✧♪●♩○♬☆!!!
  Producers: We're showing our gratitude!
  Producers: More Lives!
  Producers: More abilities!
  Producers: More ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ways to make money｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆!
  Producers: Just in time, too. Your season is about to renew ♪
  Producers: ⭑･ﾟﾟ･*:༅｡.｡༅:*ﾟ:*:✼✿Thanks for all your hard work✿✼:*ﾟ:༅｡.｡༅:*･ﾟﾟ･⭑

[ Huh! That's INTERESTING. By the way, some of you might notice that your abilities are gone. That's ALSO interesting.

If you go into the points shop app on your phone though, you're met with the request to select which abilities you want to have, out of the number that you purchased before. No mass refunds here, it looks like! If you purchased all 6 abilities, you'll see that you don't need to switch them out, and your abilities themselves have just updated.

The last of everything INTERESTING happening is that, if you're currently outside of your dorm while reading all this on your phone, you'll see a herd of black cats scampering down the street with something white bouncing around on them. Headed right to you.

They stop right in front of you, drop the something white at your feet, and then scatter in every direction. It's a giftwrapped box! Open it to receive a gift!

If you're inside your dorm, you'll instead receive the box in the mail. Congratulations! ]

[ Players, please comment here with the number of previously owned abilities and which abilities you're switching out for! However, if you have all 6 abilities already, you do not need to comment here. Hiatused idols will receive the same experience when they return to the game. ]

Maybe you need to work from a bigger piece of metal. It's pretty good though!

[asonoficeandfire]

A bigger piece would make details a lot easier. That's why I want to practice with smaller ones first.

[liarliarliar]

Ohh hard mode right away! That's so like you.

[asonoficeandfire]

Is it?

[liarliarliar]

Yeah! You like pushing yourself like all you heroes do!

[asonoficeandfire]

Ah. Because I want to be better.

[liarliarliar]

Yeah...you put in a lot of work for it.

[asonoficeandfire]

[breathes out]

And this is a new ability, so it's a nice distraction if I need that too.

[liarliarliar]

Any more new abilities....?

[asonoficeandfire]

Polarize. I think it's magnetizing two points on two objects or people? It works as repellent and for drawing things together.

My personal assistant is different too because I reset it, but that's not an upgrade, just something I didn't realize I could do until now.

[liarliarliar]

....................kiss magnet.

[asonoficeandfire]

...I don't think that's a good thing to use it for.

[liarliarliar]

Booooooooo.

[asonoficeandfire]

Who would you use it on?

[liarliarliar]

Intensity and Blue Eyes of course.

[asonoficeandfire]

Ah... That could be very funny, you're right.

Though I'm sure he could reverse it, since he has it too.

[liarliarliar]

Less fun, alas.

[asonoficeandfire]

Your ability is definitely the coolest, though.
