Betrayal 3: Session 13

[idolpro]

Who: You lot
When: To be inserted into the timeline after completion
What: A Certain Game

[ You are in an elevator, and it is not ascending into the Game Tower, no. This time, it's taking you down. You can feel it in the pit of your stomach, watch through the glass chassis as stone scrolls up and away and all around you becomes darkness.

And then, a screen flickers on. A bright, cheerful woman with fluffy pigtails waves at you with one hand, a brightly colored plastic crazy straw that's been speared through a few mango chunks in her other. Exael winks and speaks to the camera.

"And with summer comes what we all look forward to~ Summer Break! It's time to get away from hot stuffy Tokyo, and get away from it all! And so, everyone, we've brought your faa~avorite idols home here to you! In one of our very special hotels, for a very special game! Clasp your hands in prayer, hope real hard, and maybe you'll get a front row seat to their presence in the Hotel Omphalos!"

"May this show grant you Mirth, because soon starts—"

The broadcast cuts out.

The light does not return, as the elevator doors open. Instead, color so bright it can't be drowned out by the darkness spills in, and erodes the car away. You are left standing in an unfamiliar Hotel, and the game is just beginning. ]

BUFFET

[idolpro]

[ You enter the Buffet. The decor here is a little dated—maybe next in line for renovations—but definitely cheerful, with a bright-colored geometric carpet pattern that kind of hurts to look at. At one end of this long, noisy room is a long table lined with dishes in polished metal covers, warm and ready for serving onto the stack of freshly-washed plates at one end. A helpful sign directs patrons looking for a “private dining experience” to check upstairs, but honestly, this place seems pretty good.

It’s crowded, here, though, and it’s a little hard not to feel like you’re being watched. You can almost feel like whispers follow you wherever you go… but can’t quite make out what they’re saying.

You may go North, East, South, or West. ]

EVENT

[idolpro]

Your Biggest Fans
The loudspeaker crackles overhead, and you’re startled to realize that it’s an announcement of your presence on this very floor, mentioning that you might be available for autograph signing or handshake events… and you can already feel the floor rumbling with footsteps.
Each character on the floor where this is triggered must attempt a Speed roll:
4+: You don’t panic, and stay put—if you don’t call attention to yourself, you’ll be harder to find.
1-3: You have to get out of here! If there’s more than one adjacent room, roll a die with sides equal to the number of adjacent rooms to determine which one you flee to.
0: You flee, as in the 1-3 result, and take 1 die of mental damage.

as much as they'd like to not be mobbed by fans they'd also like to not run into the document chute and get papercut half to death for the THIRD TIME ]

You're correct, but I've never before had someone ask for an autograph.

Re: EVENT

[temperedinpride]

[Watching Emet. There he go. There he gooo.]

You'll find our merchandise everywhere here. Forgive me, I'll be heading the long way to chase him, I feel a bit creaky to be taking the paper chute.

[He'll start west.]

Re: EVENT

[notadrop]

Re: BUFFET

Re: BUFFET

Re: BUFFET

[notadrop]

Oh nooo it's happening again, just not to me this time.

We're gonna take the elevator down to pick him up, right?

Re: BUFFET

[temperedinpride]

Absolutely. He knows his way around some of the basement at least.
