HANDSHAKE EVENT: FANS EXIT STAGE LEFT

[idolpro]

Who: You! Not them!
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 427, midnight & early morning

[ In the middle of the night, an alert suddenly goes off—not on idol phones, but rather, fan phones. Idols nearby can hear fans talking about the contents anyway, or otherwise whatever gossip they're talking about.

Even idols who aren't interested will understand, broadly, what the alert means: from now until the sun rises, fans will be either shuffling off, disappearing upon crossing doorways while holding what looks to be ticket stubs, or knocking on unit doors to ask for final requests before they have to leave, or otherwise write a list of requests for idols to fulfill after they've gone.

Either way, by the morning of 427, the fans have left Tokyo-F, and the ominous counter on every idol's phone has reached 000000.

Transferred idols and Hell Graduates are still here, though, with the mirror hotel still accommodating them. Their time will surely come soon, but until then, they can enjoy Tokyo-F for a little longer.

Idols receive a text message as well: ]

Producers: Well done on your first fan meeting, idols!
Producers: Please note: while parting is bittersweet, fan requests are still valid. Don't disappoint your fans and keep working until the last request has been fulfilled~~~!

[ And indeed, idols will still be able to fulfill requests (and experience the consequences of rejecting enough requests) for some time longer. ]

[ the fans being shuttled out is good and all but there's a grey-skinned girl with SUPER long black hair with an axe-- bass guitar?? axe???-- slung over her back, between a pair of huge white wings, just standing outside the hotel and like, picking her nose. ]

I guess fashionably late is better than never? Whatever.

Yeah, I'm good! They're workin' me like crazy though. What about you? Are things good? I can't believe you're still here.

[constellationprize]

[ wahhhhhhh squeals a bit ]

Mm, things are - um, of course it's a little bit strange, but I think that we're doing okay...!

[ there is, very briefly, like blink and you'll miss it brief, some pause given at "can't believe you're still here," but it's quick to fade and she hugs req back, nuzzling gently at her shoulder ]

[ THEN IMMEDIATELY CHARGES FOR HER ]

Re: done

[unbr8kable]

[She does not try to escape, just waiting for impact??? Surely Req deserves a tackle or two after all this time]

Re: done

[stakesthesame]

[ she does, in fact, tackle her

but since she can float she just kind of tumbles her over in the air, squeezing her tight ]
