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 ♪

[ 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. ]

[liarliarliar]

No problem.

I'm excited to see you warp!

[calmthefoxdown]

You mean become a skidmark.

[ Okay here's some open area. ]

Mm, this should be enough space.

[liarliarliar]

Have some faith in yourself, sporty boy.

[calmthefoxdown]

I am a boy who has learned that there are bigger fish in the world...

Gonna summon some sharps, love, might wanna get a safety distance.

[liarliarliar]

I'll be okay.

[...steps back five paces]

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Summoning a sword in hand, which he stabs into the ground, then another maybe 10 feet away, and another 10 feet past that. Science. ]

Okay, that should be a good start...

[liarliarliar]

Go go go babe!!

[calmthefoxdown]

Mm.

[ Looking at the sword 10 feet away for a moment before holding out his hand and- ]

[ Zip, there he is at the next sword, crouched down with one hand holding the hilt of the sword that was laying on the floor, the other braced against the floor. ]

[liarliarliar]

THAT'S SO COOL

[calmthefoxdown]

Oh- there's actually more time to react than I thought.

[ Poofing away that sword and zipping over to the next, this time landing more steadily on his feet, still crouched and sword in hand. ]

[liarliarliar]

Now throw a sword in the air and try that!

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Standing up, poofing away his sword before summoning a new one high up in the air. He warps up to that one as it starts to fall, then poofs it away and warps again to the one nearest B, landing on his feet. Though this warp apparently carries along with it all of his momentum, which results in a super-hero-esque landing, not a crater, but definitely a dent in the ground. ]

Whoa-!

[liarliarliar]

Cool.........................

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Poofing away the sword. ]

I guess if I do longer distances, the momentum builds up? I don't feel any of it though myself when I move...

[ Looking toward B. ]

It is pretty fun though.

[liarliarliar]

[jumps on him]

I'm glad!! You looked cool, babe!

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Catching him with a spin. ]

Am I a cool boy now?

[liarliarliar]

The coolest...!

[plants a kiss on his cheek]

[calmthefoxdown]

Guess we're a pair of cool boys now, since B's new power is crazy cool too.

[liarliarliar]

It IS. I'm really glad for our upgrades.

[calmthefoxdown]

I wonder if Silver got some changes too.

[liarliarliar]

Probably. Wild City has a lot that can be tweaked.

[calmthefoxdown]

You think so?

[liarliarliar]

They have a lot of powers they never use.

[calmthefoxdown]

True... I've never seen Silver with a mascot that wasn't C.

[liarliarliar]

You don't need one when you've already the best one.

Maybe Silver can come show off later.
