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. ]

[Dodging said plushies and potions to loom over B and look down into the abyss depths of the hat.]

Bag of holding?

[liarliarliar]

Ufufufufu~

Something like that~~~

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Holds out his hand for the hat]

[liarliarliar]

[lets him take it]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Flips it right-side up.

And shoves it on top of B's head.






Does he also go in the bag of holding?]

[liarliarliar]

[HE DOES NOT

cuz he has to activate it]

Ufufufu~ nice try!

...

...

I do wanna try though.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Whomp whomp.

Smushes the hat down on top of B's head anyway for good measure]

Do we need another AlcheME! as a life guard to fish you out?

Or maybe you'd want to stay in your pocket dimension.

[liarliarliar]

Do you wanna go in?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You don't get my stuff if I never come out.

[liarliarliar]

I would never trap you in a pocket dimension, boss!

But check this out!! Go in!

[HOLDS UP HAT]

I need to keep my hands on it.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Well.




You know what? WHY THE FUCK NOT?

In the hat he goes]

[liarliarliar]

[enjoy dropping briefly onto B's bed




before being yoinked back out by B]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Wait.

What just happened?]

[liarliarliar]

Ufufufu.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Still just kind of sitting there.

On the floor]

It's a portal?

[liarliarliar]

Kinda, yeah! It has to be activated via a sleeve or hat or cape! And I can't open it into like. Inside of your dorm. Bet I could do your balcony though?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So somewhere you can imagine in your head?

[liarliarliar]

Somewhere I've been.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

... Somewhere you've been, huh?

[Hey.

Hey, B]

How about I add a unique location to your list?

[liarliarliar]

....sure?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Just laughs at his expression]

You're right.

I wouldn't trust me either.

[liarliarliar]

I trust you with my life.

But my dignity?

[waggles hands]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Drastic times call for undignified measures.

But duly noted. We can skip the volcano for somewhere a little --- tamer.

[Spoiler: There is no volcano]

[liarliarliar]

I AM curious~~

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Good. I knew you'd see it my way - one way or the other.

But just to clarify -- Your stashes are only as safe as you can keep people from discovering them, correct?
