The First Game

[opening_act]

Who: Calling all idols
Where: The Game Tower
When: day 2, afternoon

[ You didn't lose your phone, did you?

If you didn't and you're anywhere within range of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building-- your phone just went off loudly, with an insistent vibration. All other features of your phone have been overridden by an alert header above a map that reads:

GAME TIME.

The map displays the route to the Game Tower from your current location. You can't make phone calls, you can't play with your camera, you can't even check your profile.

Follow the map, and the doors open to the lobby, welcoming you in. ]

Box #13

[opening_act]

[ You open the box and written on the top is, "Dancing is a must for idols!"


Inside the box is a record player, a stack of records, and a note instructing you to dance with another idol, as you've regrettably not had time to learn any routines the fanservice of dancing as a couple will have to do instead. ]

... dancing, huh.

[Looking through the records.]

Looks like it. How good are you at dancing, Boss?

Re: Box #13

[criminaljustice]

No idea.

... but I could probably get a few volunteers from other teams to dance with me if you're not up for it.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Take it away, Boss.

[criminaljustice]

[gives a small salute]

Give me some good songs to work with.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Tosses him 'Dirty Dancing - Time of My Life', 'Attack on Titan Opening [Shingeki no Kyojin]', and Singha (starts about 1 min in).]

[criminaljustice]

[. . . what even.

tosses him back the Dirty Dancing one because like. look.]

Appeal to the audience, right?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

Right.

[Guess I'm following you around with a record player.]

Knock 'em dead.

[criminaljustice]

[TIME TO SEE WHO WANTS TO DANCE

mostly is just gonna go out to the middle of the shenanigans to loudly and dramatically announce:]

I've just been told "dancing is a must for idols"! Who wants to give it a shot with me?

[liarliarliar]

[IN A MAID COSTUME]

I will dance if you will have me.

[curtsy]

[criminaljustice]

How could I say no?

[he has no idea what he's doing but uh. like it can't be that hard, right?]

Sorry if I step on any toes.

[liarliarliar]

My feet are delicate, take care. I'm in your strong hands now!

[what do we do like. mmm. hands on ur shoulders maybe?? its slowish music playing??]

[criminaljustice]

[slowish yeah.

his hands aaaare going to B's waist?? yeah not really sure.]

Mm, I'll do my best.

Nice dress, by the way. It's very cute.

[hashtagaesthetic]

[honestly this man has clearly been punched in the face like, in the past little while. but he seems entirely cheerful and unbothered.] Sure, why not?

[criminaljustice]

[gosh, there seems to be a pattern of men getting punched in the face.]

You want the lead?

[height. differences.]

[hashtagaesthetic]

[in his defense he only did the bad thing after he got punched.] Certainly, if that would work best.

[ohgodno]

[holds her lace-gloved hand out]

I will give you the greatest honor of dancing with me~

[criminaljustice]

I can't thank you enough for it. Shall I take the lead? Or would you prefer to?

[smooth fucker gonna be smooth about this]

[ohgodno]

[> You have delighted God.]

I would prefer to lead, but be warned, my dance is the most unique! Will you be strong enough to handle it? ♥

[rollplayinghouse]

[Maki was just milling around anyway, so that definitely grabs her attention, and some emotions cross her face briefly before she just says, evenly]

...A 'must', is it? I guess it's good I didn't trip while running last night after all.

[which does not actually answer the question]

[criminaljustice]

I'd say that's fortunate either way. I wouldn't like to see you hurt.

[holds out hand in invitation nonetheless, letting her make the choice for herself.]

Though I can't guarantee your toes will be spared if we dance, sorry.

[rollplayinghouse]

You're embarrassing.

[but. she takes his hand]

I'll guarantee it for myself. I bet I can dodge fine.

Re: Box #13

[grandschemed]

Figured one of you guys can take this one, if we wanna make it even.

Re: Box #13

[criminaljustice]

Yeah, I can.
