IT'S A GOOD DAY TO HAVE A BAD DAY

[cascadingfailure]

Who: Day 373
Where: The Hotel Lobby
When: Day 373, late night

[ So how about that ruined lobby? Despite damage to the city usually being repaired overnight, barring acts of Heaven and Hell, it's still blown wide open and also the entire ground floor of the hotel is flooded.

The intercoms have fallen silent since the guest stars made their mark, but for some reason, they've started up again. They're having problems, though - they undergo a constant loop each time they buzz to life, first playing just thirty seconds of a song familiar to some which distorts and slows and slows and slows and slows until all that's left is

uh, this? Which speeds up until it becomes this this, and then just sort of breaks down. And then the loop starts over again.

It's...a mingle?! Do you really want to be here...? ]

[ anyway, anyone who happens to be in the area long enough receives a series of Dissonance messages. ]

happy☆day: Such devastation.
happy☆day: This program presumes this was not your intention?
happy☆day: We would apologize for the inconvenience, but your collective penchant for wanton destruction is starting to become a severe drain on resources.
happy☆day: And in addition, in addition, in addition!
happy☆day: As you may be able to hear, you have awoken a horrid beast.
happy☆day: This program is unable to access the automatic repair functions for this section of Tokyo-F, and Madame Administrator is currently enjoying a continuously extended vacation which this program is given to believe began sometime around the beginning of this show's run, if amount of work this program has to do is any indication.
happy☆day: Anyone who is interested in fixing their own mess themselves may report to the Escape Room at the designated time. This program can promise nothing but an artifact of power that will enhance the functionality of your evidently not-so-precious hotel lobby.
happy☆day: Also, also, also! This program does not recommend this issue be ignored.
happy☆day: The hound and its rider will not be silenced.
happy☆day: Remember, remember, remember! Everything that happens...



happy☆day: ...happens because of you!



[ And then your Dissonance app is replaced with a timer counting down to...five days from now? Huh.

Restarting your phone lets you actually send texts again, but attempting to open the DMs from happy☆day just results in the timer showing back up. ]

[ I identify as tired-dot-jpg ]

...It's a quest.

[420blazeit]

[ stares into the void and siiiiiiiiighs. ]

[irregular]

I mean it literally wasn't the intention of any of us actually have to live here but whatever, sure, shared responsibility and all that, can we just get this over with?

[temperedinpride]

[Such devastation is ALWAYS my intention though]

[liarliarliar]

Why can't anything just be normal?! Why do people have to BREAK EVERYTHING AND SUMMON WEIRD MURDER RIDERS AND THEIR DOGS

[worthathousand]

Is... that what happened?

I heard there was a fire.

[purrrnicious]

Okay, but.

They were totally gonna send us murder monsters anyway, c'mon. It happens at least once a month, this is just an excuse.

[irregular]

Best I got is 'because fuck you all, that's why'.

[crossmyheartandhope]

What do you think the hound and its rider are?

[doublefried]

I guess it is sort of my fault the lobby blew up, in the sense that I should have had the dude responsible on a baby leash at all times and did not.

[asonoficeandfire]

Did— was this Touya...?

[purrrnicious]

[Speaking as someone who has dragged out and set on fire all of the lobby furniture before––]

Can't you just, like, send whatever horrible death monster you're doing this whole ~spooky ominous foreshadowing~ about already and get it over with? You're going to do it eventually, anyway, let's not drag it out.

[irregular]

[He's not actually going to approach or anything like that but look who the Producers dragged back in.]

[sunflowering]

It'd sure be nice if people stopped wrecking things. I understand it was thanks to our guests this time, but it's not the first time others have decided to take their frustrations out on the lobby.

[ Sigh ]

[irregular]

Why can't they wreck one of the stupid useless empty buildings that we have approximately eight billion of and not the three things we actually need?

[This is to say, hello Kaguya I'm back properly now.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

So... are they planning on having us complete a game before giving us the tools?

[scarvedforlife]

One tool reporting for duty!

[420blazeit]

[ cups her hands over her face and just yells into them. ]

[scattershot]

If you hadn't been here, it would have been considerably worse.

[onemoreknight]

[ hi local future is now horse girl just got here and what is happening??? ]

Um, this is a lot? Is this normal? Do the competitions take place in the lobby?

[purrrnicious]

[After (totally not at all frantically) checking her phone to make sure of who it was that left Future––

Time for a cat to prowl around a horse, tail flicking curiously.]

Uh, who are you? I haven't seen you around before.

[metafaliure]

I suppose in the interim we probably should repair it, though.

[onemoreknight]

Oh, right! We have arts that can do that, right?

[scarvedforlife]

Ah yes, the visual reminder of why people just can't have nice things.

[scattershot]

I presume there's no chance of our fixing our own mess using actual tools, not some kind of ritual focus of interior decorating, then.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... we could do both?

I'm in to help pick stuff up if you are.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess lobby quest's in a couple days, huh.

...man, this place is a mess.

[neigh_sayer]

[lounging on what reminds of a table and looking at his phone]

Fiiiine I guess we can do something. I GUESS.

LIVE

[neigh_sayer]

[sits up after a bit and pulls out a MEGAPHONE]

It's time an AlcheMe-patented Roleplay Live! For today and today only, I'll be playing your NOT so evil leader!

And as leader of all you scrubs, it's time to collect some tithing!

If we want to get this place into shape, we need the basics! Donate points here for kitchen appliances, carpet, tables, furniture, and TVs! Everything purchased will be for FiN to use and work their magic! Donations for air fresheners and wallpapers apply, too.

Or for you nutjobs that like to do, ugh, manual labor.

Hurry, hurry, don't make me send you to the gallows for not being a team player!

[Angel is using a sponge to soak up some of the water.

It is not a big sponge. It is a regular sponge.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Hands her a bucket]

[proceedwithcautus]

[ wow! fun! we're going to see what's outside, and— ]

[proceedwithcautus]

[ hm.

one of imeeji's newest arrivals stands here in all her tiny pastel glory and— ]

...is it always like this...

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[why is there a YOU-kai still wandering around? in BE=DE colors, no less. perhaps his profile has the answer.]

Wow, what a shithole.

[heavenlyvisitor]

[ oh.

fuck.

you were supposed to be gone. ]
