HANDSHAKE EVENT: FANSERVICE START

Who: Unfamiliar faces?
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 424, morning

[ The cryptic countdown pauses: 999999.

Then, the video feed turns on. Who's this—why, it's Man☆Eater! ]

A big ol' congrats to our final winner, who requested: "PLEASE MAKE C KING OF HEAVEN"! Now, we could make that happen for you, but where'd be the fun in that? And hey, we've got a special occasion to celebrate: the start of our fourth season! If the third time's a charm, the fourth's gotta be even better, right? Gyahaha!

They say you should meet your heroes... eh, or wait, was it the opposite? Oh well, too late! 'Cause guess what, you lucky rascal? Instead of sitting back and watching all the action through a screen, you're getting the once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet the man himself! No accounting for taste if you ask your host here, but hey, go bask in his divine presence or whatever! Gyahahahaha!

[ the video shuts off before further explanation can be given, though fortunately you're receiving a text message: ]

IMEEJI'S FIRST HANDSHAKE EVENT BEGINS
FULFILL FAN REQUESTS TO BECOME MORE POPULAR ♥


[ And the ground begins to shift . . . there's a rumbling sound—an earthquake?

—no. Those are the sounds of footsteps . . . thousands of them, all at once.

Wherever idols are, they'll be able to see the streets and buildings are being invaded. Not by imps, not by demons, but rather, monochromatic people—sometimes just silhouettes, shadowy facsimiles of people rather than people themselves. Though they look lifeless, the energy they bring with them is overwhelming. Suddenly, the empty once-plastic city feels like it has the population to justify its size, and every building, communally upgraded or not, now accommodates the visitors, with non-upgraded buildings revamped inside to be bare-bones sleeping quarters for the . . . just how many people are here, anyway?

Perhaps more intimidating than the abrupt number of the Damned in Tokyo-F is the fact that they're all wearing. . . idol merchandise. Jackets with idol faces on them. Headbands. Lightsticks.

And. . . wherever you are, they're there. To get your signature. To shake your hand. Maybe to ask you to do something.

Idols will have to deal with this for . . . some time. The cryptic countdown has started again, but this time it's ticking reliably, though slowly, down.

Incidentally: far from the hotel, tall white walls have been erected around Honmachi Sakura Park. They're not magical walls, though—it seems determined idols can use any number of methods to climb over the walls to get to Heaven. It looks like it's largely there to keep fans away. . . ]

[personal profile] heavyliesthecrown 2021-12-04 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
. . . I do not even know what to think right now.

[ Not the ordinary sort of fans. ]

Ohhhhh ...

[ murmured, thoughtful as she looks over all the

everything. so that's what his secret was? maybe? ]

Well, it's really nice to see even more different people here - ... if everyone is able to have a lot of fun while this happens, then that would be even nicer, wouldn't it?

Wo~ow! Hello everyone! You're all looking very cheerful today!

[ W is. on the roof of a combini and waving down at a truly enormous crowd. idol life imitates hero life it seems. ]
sangreine: huh :: surprised (no wai)

[personal profile] sangreine 2021-12-04 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Someone quickly got tired of trying to weave her way through this mess, being as petite as she is it's hard to see over a crowd, and just started using the gathered faceless people as an obstacle course. She uses a shoulder here, a head there, springing over and around them to try and find someone she isn't incredibly twitchy around, which none of these dark figures remotely qualify for. (The weirdest part, some of them seem to like being used as a vault. What the hell?) ]

[ Whenever she sees someone with an actual face, she flips over toward them and gives a little yell to try and get their attention over the crowd. ]


I'm really hoping you know what we're supposed to do with this. [ Is it start slicing them into pieces with the sheathed katana she's carrying? Because that, she can do. Following requests is not her forte, however. ]

[Looking at the list he's written of requests so far.]

How... Creative. I never realized I was so popular. Any volunteers to be murdered, eaten, tortured, poisoned, or used as a debt slave?
Edited 2021-12-04 05:32 (UTC)
at_heart: casual, with a totally straight face (chatty :: i guess we'll see)

[personal profile] at_heart 2021-12-04 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ This sure is a thing that is happening to all of them now, whether they like it or not. Let it never be said he makes no effort to appeal to his fanbase, though, he definitely picked outfit #3 on purpose today, position flower in hair, eyeliner and shadow.

But, uh, when he heard the announcement, he was not prepared for the Creepy Silhouette Fans. Let's hope none of them take the sword personally, he really just brings this everywhere by default, ]


...Right. Okay. Cool.

gravitydefier: (and her jubilant shout)

[personal profile] gravitydefier 2021-12-04 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
[walking outside in time for the announcement and to see the crowd of fans outside and just...turns back around.

...hates crowds and noise, and then their requests. just not having it: as soft and detached as ever.]


...Ridiculous. Pointless.
forgottenmercy: (what understanding defies)

[personal profile] forgottenmercy 2021-12-04 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
[walking outside to see this and...also doesn't like crowds or noise. but as gentle and demure as ever.]

...ah, goodness...
ends: (back the fuck up.)

[personal profile] ends 2021-12-04 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
They think I'm actually going to offer them my head as a keepsake? They can screw themselves.

[ muttered bitterly and indeed, he's keeping his knife at his side because he has 0 trust in these fans. ]

[personal profile] inspiteful 2021-12-04 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Only took them over 400 days to make the city actually feel like one...

[ So he mumbles, but it seems like Lark is trying to avoid the crowds of fans, to...not much success. Maybe you find him after he's managed to escape some fans, or as he's trying to survive a handshake session with a few of them. ]
carnivorouscarnival: (f19)

[personal profile] carnivorouscarnival 2021-12-04 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That loud fucko who was all over all your screens just now is also just casually walking around the place, as you do.

He assesses the chaos with a satisfied nod. ]

Ooh, looks like shit's really hitting the fan now, huh? Gyahaha. Man, these guys are as enthusiastic as ever.
daios: (016)

[personal profile] daios 2021-12-04 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Wh-What is all of this...?!

[There are SO MANY PEOPLE and they're all weird and grey and now he has a list of things he is supposed to do and FRANKLY, Hades is overwhelmed.]

And what is with these requests??
rainshaveceased: (let them hate me so long as they fear me)

[personal profile] rainshaveceased 2021-12-04 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[shaking hands with one fan after another, apparently completely unbothered by them being weird shadow people]

It's so good to meet you all. And it really is a remarkable honour to already have fans even though I've only just arrived- Hm? What was that?

[listening to a request and taking on a thoughtful expression]

Ah, yes. I will see what I can do.
floriographys: (p5)

[personal profile] floriographys 2021-12-04 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahaha, wow...

The fans are as gross as ever! Yeah alright, I'll play. You've missed me that much, huh? How disgusting.

[He'll pull out his knife, flipping it open.]
syckophant: (027)

[personal profile] syckophant 2021-12-04 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fans! It really is a lot like Liar Hell. Eichi is living for it, even if they're creepy silhouettes.]

Oh my, adoring fans...! It almost feels like old times, except they want some slightly stranger things.

avestan: (No good deed goes unpunished.)

[personal profile] avestan 2021-12-05 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[mostly trying to avoid the fans but not successfully enough to avoid getting a number of requests]

Sheesh, this is a lot tamer than I would've expected...
