Who: Idols and idol accessories
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 437
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 437
[ Idols will start their day today to find red envelopes, each with their idol names, presented to them on a table at their dorm's landing. Each envelope is supernaturally sealed, incapable of being opened except by their designated recipient. Inside each envelope is a gold zan-style hairpin with stripes of silver carved into its stem, and the tip is heavy with a weighty decoration—be it a dragon, phoenix, tiger, butterfly, flower(s), or anything else, they are all inlaid with bright, glowing tiger's eye gemstones.
As ornate as they look, these hairpins aren't just for decoration: upon the recipient touching the accessory, they'll find their clothes magically changing into fanciful Chinese or fantasy Chinese clothing—perhaps vibrant red, regardless of unit, or woven patterns and colors that reflect the idol's position. At the same time, the hairpin knits itself into the idol's hair (if capable, else it pins itself as a brooch) which has also magically been done up fancifully.
Down at the lobby there are more hints toward the holiday, if the red envelope didn't already make it obvious: red streamers and paper lanterns decorate the hotel, along with tiger decorations which vary from elegant wall scrolls to cute tiger plush pillows on the lobby seats. And, if it still isn't clear enough—perchance for those who aren't familiar with the culture at all—a red and gold banners hang from the wall, reading "HAPPINESS AND PROSPERITY" and "LUNAR NEW YEAR" and "YEAR OF THE TIGER".
Near the kitchen, there are tables with spreads of Chinese foods from various regions, all available in an all-you-can-eat styled buffet. And, what's more—the food seems to be completely safe! They don't contain even a little bit of status effects. For once, here's a party with safe food.
There are additionally tables with gift bags, once again labeled with each idol's name. These are not supernaturally sealed, and in each bag are . . . well. . . tiger things, along with a note that reads,
300 points per item worn for the day! Max 1,200 points (head/hands/tail/feet
Oh, right, this is an idol show. And oh, surprise, the tiger appendages (optionally) have some sort of status effect thing going on:
At least they're all fairly mild in effect.
Last but not least, decoration wise, there's also an ominous poster near the elevators. . . Well, who's afraid of a sign, right? . . . Nevermind that if someone were to break a taboo, they'll find themself just slightly unluckier today, on the level of breaking their shoe/sandal laces and receiving the wrong order at the café.
Outside, though the weather is cold, the sun is auspiciously bright today, warmth radiating out the city to soften the chill. Moreover, there's an infectious energy on the streets, one that would surely make a person forget the temperature—long paper puppets, taking the form of dragons and lions and tigers, parade down the street, powered by ghostly dancers and backed up by the orchestra of a marching band and fan dancers. Floating lanterns guide them throughout the city, where they'll circle around the streets ceaselessly until evening.
At the stroke of midnight, idols will find their old clothes back in their closet and their hairpins no longer glowing, but they'll also find they're able to keep the clothing they received from the hairpins. They can also keep the tiger paraphernalia, which have lost their effects. ]

Though speaking of being festive, it seems the status effects are making him................ willing to participate in the festivities, gasp. And actually willing to eat, apparently? Throughout the day, he can be found sitting in the lobby messing with a tiger-pillow in his lap, out watching the parade from around a corner, or off eating sweets in the cafe instead of the main party area because additional bravery only goes so far.
...it's kind of hard to hold silverware in a fake paw, huh.]
no subject
[Since he seems to actually be like, eating for once.]
no subject
[There was definitely a pause and he's not looking up from poking at a plate of ?honey toast? (no fruit) clumsily with a fork, but at least Nyx isn't like, ignoring Izanagi or anything.]
no subject
no subject
[Presumably referring to the dish he's poking at.]
no subject
Yeah. That one's got shrimp in it, if you like that.
no subject
[Nyx gives up on holding this fork in a fake tiger-paw to point at the plate of honey toast he has. One of the few people in Fauxkyo eating cafe food instead of party food today.]

[And so his mysterious urge to Devour led him to the cafe instead of where everyone was milling around the party food.]
no subject
Do you want me to get you a plate of stuff to try?
no subject
[Nudges the plate a little bit across the table he's at with his fluffy tiger paw. Only about 1 bite has been sliced off the dish with a fork, the rest is currently untouched.]
no subject
[But he'll go ahead and take the offered food. He can definitely handle eating more food today.]
no subject
[Rephrasing that, then, as he passes over the plate. And then it's time to stick his nose back into the cafe's menu.]

Man, that does not look like a good time.
[ A thoughtful frown at the paw. ]
You could take one off while you eat?
[ Hi, Nyx. A lot less reluctant to approach you today than he was right after the IW sIV pain tour! And while he had plenty at the buffet of festival food, he's... kind of still hungry, which is definitely weird, but as far as status afflictions go he's not complaining. Dressed for the occasion, with the addition of a tail. ]
no subject
[One of them has a crippling weakness in effect today, and Nyx's is anxiously following instructions down to the letter because what if he messes EVERYTHING up and things EXPLODE because he went off the rails. Horror.]
no subject
[ Hrm. ]
โWhat you need is soup. Something you can get in a mug and just drink.
no subject
no subject
are you in the sweets club, nyx?]Here, I'm not sure, but they definitely exist.
[ :|aaaa And he's just gonna. Take out his phone and do a quick infernet search.
Tilts his phone to show Nyx the results. ]
no subject
That would require him having the social skills to join a clubNyx carefully sets his silverware down and moves so he can peek at Lupine's phone screen.]
Oh... they had something like that back at the party. [At some sweet Chinese soup.] And they have the... um. Something like this around here? I didn't realize that was soup...
[Re: the zenzai. He's probably seen oshiruko being carried in vending machines and such across the city.]
no subject
Did you like it? The thing they had back at the party.
[ He could very easily be convinced to go get you some. Faster travel than you, and you're obviously avoiding the crowd for one reason or another. ]
no subject
[The idea doesn't even occur to Nyx, apparently, though he certainly wouldn't be into it if he did. Inconveniencing somebody else to go across the city to get him food when he's already walked over here to get different food?? Nah.]
no subject
I could go get you some. It's not that far to fly.
no subject
[Off-hand, while checking the menu to see if they sell that red bean stuff in here or not...]
