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! ]

NSFW fanmail prompt inside! ]

[looking at the... this]

We're off to a weird start.

[softlyfalling]

[ oh bless, ]

...I mean, I don't know that I'd mind, since it's cute...

[ and, a little bit of a laugh— ]

...and it's true, what are the odds.

[ her face softens slightly at the novel, flipping through the pages. ]

...oh, that's rather sweet.

[widenessofthesea]

Pfft—

[ all right, not bad. ]

[deicider]

[Cardinal has some mail wrangling baby Ascians and wearing sweaters.]

This might be the most... wholesome mail I've gotten, but weird.

[weenwoon]

[Levity approaches his box cautiously, because who knows what it's going to be with the recent developments... but none of the contents are doujins or novels, which is what he associates with trouble now, and so he breathes out a sigh of relief.

He smiles at the horse post first and foremost.]

Ah, I see my efforts were not in vain. I do recommend petting horses, though!

[What next... The masked goo earns a kind of "mweh" noise from him, but then again that's... kind of funny. If he doesn't think about it too much, it's a better way to remember the game than actually remembering it.]

...Now that I think of it, I'm glad they didn't go for what I was doing after that game.

[The post-drunk embarrassment. It's a lot. He can still remember panickedly asking Glory how would he know if he hadn't fallen off a bridge.

The robo-sheep plushie is adorable and gets another smile from him, while the poster makes him laugh. That one's definitely going on the wall.

Speaking of walls, though. The art itself is innocuous, but Levity still finds himself colouring. Well.]

It's not that they're wrong...

[It's not that they're wrong, but 1) he has talked to Hardy all of two times, 2) he is still struggling with intimacy quite a bit. He stares at the fanart first, then at the floor, seemingly zoning out, before eventually snapping out of it and putting the drawing back and picking up the box. No need to throw things out this time, at least!]

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ this is lovely but what manner of creature is this ]

Am I ... a cat and a bird, in this ... ?

LIVE

[ruinousempathy]

[casually

starts a fire in a garbagecan]

Who's here for some ritual burning of creepy bullshit?

[featherbeaned]

[ Makes a face at this ]

There's nothing cute about being locked away. [ The plushie itself is cute, though ... huffily sets it aside to rescue later, and she brightens significantly when she opens her letter from Pentium ]

Here's to hoping. [ She gives the paper a little kiss and carefully tucks it away for safe-keeping. The silk plushie crystal is tucked away as well. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ It's easy enough to ignore the mice thing. It will be easily discarded.

The fanart of himself and Skylark gives him pause and he's a little confused. Why is someone drawing something like this, they did nothing like that??? He sang.

But when he gets to the last thing, it's a book, and his face falls entirely. ]

. . . . . . .

[liarliarliar]

[YAY FANMAIL

What do I even do with these Tiny Pants?? THE GEM PLUSH IS SO COOL THOUGH. Tucking it under his arm. The B and Gold fanart is A++ and B goes a Happy Wiggle.

what. what even are these dolphin plushies were these suppose to go to c??? tiny friend plush gets carefully held, so cute ♥]

1/4

[inspiteful]

[ Skylark is looking (hoping, really) for a particular letter, so while he's trying to search for it he comes across the plushie and the drawing, which makes him smile.

...Then he finds this art of him and Tsukasa, and his face flushes as it dawns on him that shit, of course fandom would latch onto that. ]

[presentational]

This is the best fanmail ever!!

[ hunny's acting like it's christmas, putting on the pair of shell headphones and then trying to balance the wolf plushie atop them for a selfie

As usual, all fanmail that requires reading is completely ignored ]

[overworker]

Alright... let's see what we've got...

[There are some great poster and a weirdly cute plush that make Serenity smile.]

[iamverybadass]

[ Talon's gotten some new accessories from his mail. He stares incredulously for a moment before kneeling with an amused sigh to start lacing them onto his shoes. ]

I don't think I will ever understand fashion trends.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[His smile flickers and fades at the diorama and this note]

[But the cake pic and the pirate plush and the doujin and the flip book are all very good, and he gathers everything carefully into a box]

[The letter he spends longer reading]

...guess he's doing okay.

[justfuckingtryit]

[The double-sided poster is very good, and so is the art of domestic married life. He tucks the accompanying fic away to read later along with the other fic. The kissing figurine gets shoved in his pocket, hopefully before anyone can see it]

[The nailbat plush he's keeping for sure. But the pin? Okay, yeah, the pin gets a smile]

Nice haul.

[purrrnicious]

[There's one that does kind of baffle her that she leaves aside, but otherwise this stuff isn't so bad. There's a little collection of cute things and the plush sword, but it's a letter that she shows the most interest in, taking it aside and climbing up onto the back of one of the lobby couches in a crouch to look over it.]

[nutsandrevolts]

[Looking REAL PLEASED with her arts, one that shows her as a proud automail vendor and the other that's a flyer for her shady space simulator business.]

Hah! Maybe I really oughta go be a respectable businesswoman! I figure I recollect enough to do real metalworks by now.

[romanticlove]

[Ren holds up her new phone strap and charm, adding it to her phone immediately before moving onto her other pieces of mail.]

I wonder what everyone sent to me this time...?

[runawayprince]

[There doesn't seem to be anything alarming in his fanmail this time. He can be found admiring the little family portrait of himself and Glacies, should anyone happen upon him.]

Not bad.

[Everything is really cute and he's pleased.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[He actually does seem pleased with the poster, and he spends a solid moment staring at one of the pieces of fanart. He'll just... slide that under the poster for now. Yeah.

The box with a bloody corpse plushie gets set aside to the burn pile almost immediately, and he goes ahead and reads the letter (and gives an amused huff) as well as listens to the recording (which gets an amused snort.]

It's geneticist, you know! G-E-N-E-T-I-C-I-S-T.

[quickpersuader]

[Sky can be found reading first through a wholesome doujin before eyeing the keychain and the note.]

Ah... It's a little difficult to show off when ammunition here is so expensive, unfortunately...

Also, PvP?

[As for the last piece, they scan through the comic before reaching the end with a mild look of surprise.]

A twist ending...

[rollplayinghouse]

[Glory's mail is pretty much all scandalous so this is before she opens her box.]

Dress-up and vengeance, huh... Those could be fun.

[stirtheblood]

[Hyacinth seems fairly unimpressed by his mail]

What, did I not have enough flowers or tattoos already?

[He is wearing this, so his ab tattoo is completely visible, of course.

Then there's the meme(?), which causes more confusion]

No and no.
