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. ]

That's show biz for ya, doll. But we have a very real family bond going!

[rollplayinghouse]

...Is that so? After only a day?

[she sounds skeptical, but... also maybe a tiny bit jealous??]

[neigh_sayer]

Of course! You can't fake this kind of love--who knows, we might have been related for real!

[they all ridiculously clingy, he's hanging off their arms]

[rollplayinghouse]

[gross]

You don't really look related.

[neigh_sayer]

Rude! Don't judge a book by its cover and all that! And besides, we definitely have a lot in common.

Like our irresistible eyes! Look, look!

[rollplayinghouse]

[looks]

Exactly what am I supposed to be resisting?

[BATS HIS EYES GOOFILY]

My cute charm! There's gotta be something there, right?

[rollplayinghouse]

There's no reason for you to charm me.

[neigh_sayer]

Hm? Why does there need to be a reason? The truth is, I just want to! And who wouldn't wanna be?

[rollplayinghouse]
