fanmail + theme announcement!

[idolpro]

Who: You!
Where: Hotel Lobby!
When: Day 338

[ What?? Is it. . . fanmail time already????

It is! So there are many boxes scattered around, less like they're blocking the entrances and more like they're just blocking your walking path in general. Don't trip, there's a box! Look out, it's a box! What's in the sky!? . . . I dunno, that's not a box!? ]

Producers: It's starting to warm up, so let's warm things up!
Producers: Out with the old, in with the new! Novel and Romance are over, now it's ✨✨✨RECIPROCATION✨✨✨ and ✨✨✨DRESS-UP✨✨✨for you!
Producers: Did you get something nice? Pay it back, you fucking fucker!
Producers: Did you get something mean? Get thy vengeance sevenfold!
Producers: Oh, and make sure you look nice when you do it!
Producers: You won't get the extra points though ☆(・ω<)

[ OOC NOTE: WE'RE GONNA TRY SOMETHING NEW!

In the interest of making it easier to hide/separate NSFW content, we're asking players to put their NSFW fanmail reactions under a "cut". How does that work? Here's an example!

We've got a poll up on Discord about it; if it's too much effort or if there's something about it you super don't like, you don't have to do it, but for the sake of player comfort and happiness, if it's not too big of an ask, we'd like everyone's cooperation in trying this out. Thank you! ]

Haah, yeah. . . it's prolly a whimsy-ish dream, if I'm bein' honest.

[we_meet_again]

What makes you say that?

[nutsandrevolts]

Yah need lotsa tools and machinery, pally. It ain't just a matter of a wrench and a couple'a screwdrivers -- yah need saws and cutters what can let ya shape the metal, if yer doin' custom work. And a steady supply of materials.

[we_meet_again]

Sure. Can't we just... get that?

If you can tell me all the stuff you want, I can write it up for you and submit it as a dorm upgrade.

...If you wanted.

[nutsandrevolts]

What? Ya think they'd do that? Hand us on over a full shop without makin' us buy up all the goods one by one?

[we_meet_again]

I don't see why not. All our other upgrades have been full of junk.

But we can always ask for it anyway, and the worst thing they do is say no, right?

[nutsandrevolts]

That'd be swell, Colby! Maybe they'll even front the materials what'll let me put ya together some automata!

[we_meet_again]

That would be awesome. Even if they don't, I'd happily pitch in on materials costs just to see what kind of stuff you make.

[nutsandrevolts]

Ya sure on that? It can get a mite costly, yanno.

[we_meet_again]

I'll be counting on you if I ever need a prosthetic, so it's in my best interest to enable you as much as possible, right?

[nutsandrevolts]

If ya darkened my stoop with such an ask, yer gonna get the best automata limb on the market –– save Matty's work, o'course!

[we_meet_again]

I'm counting on it!

Put some thought into what you might like your ideal workshop to look like, okay? We should ask for as much as you can possibly think of and see what we can get away with. I'm happy to help you research what kind of machinery is out there that might make your work easier. Like plasma cutters or sandblasters or whatever.

[nutsandrevolts]

Mmhm!

. . .Er, but maybe I should mean to say that ya shouldn't lose limbs in the first place, Colby.

[we_meet_again]

I'm doing my best not to. Did you know that in all the time I've been here, that last game was the only time I've ever lost a body part? And then it grew back by itself.

I think that's a pretty good track record, personally.

[nutsandrevolts]

Eh?

. . .How long ya been here, anyway, Colby?

[we_meet_again]

Mmm.... about ten months, I think? I was in the first batch of peps, and our unit showed up about a month after the others.

[nutsandrevolts]

The "first batch"? Are ya saying this place ain't even a year old?

[we_meet_again]

This program, anyway. Apparently there have been other programs like this in the past, with whole different groups of people.

[nutsandrevolts]

There anyone left what's from the older programs?

[we_meet_again]

Not here. There are some living in the other hells, though. Some of them help run the production.

In the beginning, when this program was new, people from older versions of the program were hosting some of the games, for example.

[nutsandrevolts]

Huh. They still around at all?

[we_meet_again]

One of them hosted that one haunted casino game. But I haven't seen the other around in a long time, now that you mention it. I wonder if he got a different job.
