Who: You!
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 399, after the other posts

[ When you enter today's Game room, you'll find yourself in a spacious cave with a skylight. It's dark in the sky right now, but there are soft star-like lights hovering around, harmless to the touch. The ground is carpeted with soft moss and grass, and despite the size of cave, it feels rather homey and comfortable. Even if there is a massive feathery beast in the middle of the cavern.

It glows, not so brightly that it's hard to look at, but a soft chromatic light that pulses with its breath. Currently, it's perched on a nest made of . . . books? Books, jewels, clothes, parchment—all valuable things, to be sure, though some are odd choices for hoarding.

It lifts its head, looking toward you with a gentle, intelligent stare, before directing its head to an off-shoot cavern decorated with a banner of your unit's color. ]

RULES

[idolpro]

• You are here to help a dragon hatch its baby!
  
• This dragon requires emotional energy. It's up to you to help the dragon hatch an emotionally healthy child.
  
• To do this, you'll be doing tasks with your unitmates, with each task intended to evoke a corresponding emotion.
  
• Tasks may be repeated if desired.
  
• You do not have to do every emotion. It is up to you to decide what emotions are necessary for this egg.
  
• You may alternatively (or additionally) have a plain ol' feelings jam for that emotion. Don't want to tell your unitmate something they did that made you feel disgust? Then you can talk about an experience you had that reflects that emotion. Honest talks only!
  
• If you have difficulty talking, you can optionally hold a stone of that color. It causes conditional truth effect: you'll be under a truth effect only for that specific emotion for as long as you hold the stone. (Yes you can force people to hold stones but if you're both holding one stone you'll both be compelled to tell the truth.)
  
  
• While idols are playing, they'll find that their honest emotions are visible as colors of light radiating off of their silhouette. Attempting to touch the light deliberately (vs just trying to touch another idol) will result in keying directly into that idol's emotions.
  
• Additionally, idols are temporarily alleviated of LobbyQuest status effects that hinder their ability to play (e.g. blindness, muteness). These status effects may return after the game, should the player choose.
  
  
• Winners will be determined by those who hatch the most emotionally healthy child.
  
  
• Abilities are on, but harm may not be done to any idol nor their surroundings. The attempt will simply bounce off.
  
• Items are on, but any items used to do harm will crumble into sparkles and will not be restored at the end of the game.
  
• Turn-in is due in 4 hours. This game is self-directed with no rounds, so players may go at their own place, but scoring will be done 4.5 hours after the game starts.

DRAGONS

[idolpro]

[ As the game ends, the egg glows with the colors you've imbued into it—then, it begins to hatch.

With joyous crows, your dragon breaks free of its shell, little wings flapping and stretching themselves out. Once they're fully freed, a warm light comes from the Mother Dragon to the child, lifting it up and allowing it to float and fly.

It zips around, greeting each of you with happy, playful crows, before floating to the Mother Dragon. ]

[temperedinpride]

[This bracelet is weird why can't he remove it.]

[auguryofinnocence]

Since when does Baritones lose at feelings?

[temperedinpride]

I am sure we did precisely what we set out to do--create an easily managed child that would not be much trouble.

[auguryofinnocence]

So long as you weren't leading by example, I suppose. Unless Wildfire returned to help.

[we_meet_again]

[keeping to himself and quietly wringing his hands a little, glancing around for his unitmates.]

[sunflowering]

[ Oh. Well... she had thought the things affecting her as a result of that orb had faded when the game started. But she's back to having an existential crisis, deeply lonely and voiding out.

Which simply means that in addition to her new bracelet and the dark green and blue colors surrounded her, her eyes have returned back to pure black, as though there's nothing where her eyes should be. And she keeps breaking apart into butterflies and reforming again.

It's... fine.

. . . . She's... drawing close to whoever is near like she can't afford to let them go?]

[failedsafe]

[lily is here with her hair tied back and in a very masculine suit, and is just trying to remove this bracelet before giving up.

She looks only mildly annoyed, but her aura is just moving through sadness, anger, and disgust, not settling on any one thing.]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreaaaaaaat.

[temperedinpride]

Come now, we were deliberate.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Wow!! Who could have seen this coming!!!

Besides the asshole who put them in this position anyway.

With a short bark of unhappy laughter, he turns and heads for the elevators at a quick clip, a mussed white feather jostling free from under his hoodie and falling to the ground as he goes. His hoodie definitely isn't falling correctly over his back but whatever whatever whatever if he gets out of here fast enough it won't matter-]

[quickpersuader]

[Honestly they're just trying to find Cobalt and the other peps.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Oh thank god, he did not kill the creature he was trying to nurture this time,]

[Which is to say, anyone paying attention to that kind of thing can absolutely tell from his body language that he is 85% on the cagey mood scale right now, but there is a little bit of relief here, too]

Lookit them go.

[firstworldproblem]

This is better than taking home the dragon at least.

[firstworldproblem]

Kaguya?

[There probably is no need for the sky blue color to denote he is surprised.]

[temperedinpride]

I don't know, I think Yvette might have liked a new pet.

[we_meet_again]

[What a coincidence, Cobalt was looking for them too.]

Hey.

Want to go get something to eat?

[auguryofinnocence]

I'm sure. I mean that none of you are easily managed.

[firstworldproblem]

Oh, she would have adored it, but it as a mother after all.

[Shakes his hand with the bracelet.]

And we could have sired worse children.

[temperedinpride]

You mean we have.

[temperedinpride]

Nonsense. I'm as docile as a lamb.

[Good thing these are emotional truth bracelets not "only truth no snark" bracelets]
