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. ]

[Laughing at King's misfortune.







Also good call, Producers. Good. Call.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ WHIPS THE FUCK AROUND

Are his eyes glowing red with DANGER? Must be imagination!!!! ]

Shut up.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And there's only one response to that.

... Hot.]

Or else what, Your Mind-Crush-less-ness?

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Oh, so he's asking for it?

Ok. He's ALSO getting punched by a sudden materializing Exodia.

OBLITERATE!!!!!!! ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[he_never_learns.jpg]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ At least Exodia disappears immediately. So there's that.

Walking over and leering down at him. ]

What were you saying?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[WHEEZES from the floor]

Lucky shot.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Laughs his evil gremlin laugh ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He raises his hand as if to do something--- but stops part way.

(Let's not spoil that surprise.)

And tries to kick King's feet out from under him instead.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Well, he was busy enjoying that mental snapshot of Intensity getting decked by Exodia, so.

TIMBERRR ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[How many memories of that do you even fucking need? Two is TWO too many.

Also trying to scramble out of the way so he doesn't get landed on. Planning and forethought were apparently not on the menu today.]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Rude! You could at least break his fall!!! ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[It's true, he could. But he doesn't!





The better to try and pin King to the ground afterward, my dear]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ HUFFS, but also, notably, allows himself to be pinned with almost no resistance. ]

So what's your plan, exactly?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Complain in a capacity where King can't escape.

There it is.

That's the plan]

You get to summon Duel Monsters for real? Just like that!

[Fuck, he needs to invent the Duel Disk yesterday]

[puzzlekeeper]

[ The only thing saving Intensity now is that he can only summon one Kuriboh at a time ]

Problem?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Don't. remind. him.

(Actually no, leave Kuribohs in the dorm for Seto to find. Give Intensity that much.)]

Greedy.

You want Mind Crush and bogus summoning powers?

[Huffs]

What's next? The ability to enact Penalty Games?

[puzzlekeeper]

Complaints?

And here I thought you'd want to have the most fearsome opponent possible.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Your magic hat tricks are not what make you a fearsome opponent.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Lifts an eyebrow ]

No?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No. It's because you're always one and a half steps ahead of everyone. And when you're not, you manage to pull a miracle out of no where anyway.

The magic is just the light and sound show.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Ok, laughing outright. ]

Two.

Two steps ahead.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Petulantly:]

One and a half.

And getting closer and closer to rounding down to one with every comment.

[puzzlekeeper]

[ You realize this does not lead to LESS laughing, right? ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[And Intensity with nothing to smother him with to stop the laughter.

Le sigh.

Time to kiss his rival into submission. Same result, really.]
