Who: Idols and idol accessories
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:
  • Feel more cuddly/desire cuddles
  • Feel more mercurial/contrarian
  • Feel more possessive/territorial
  • Feel more hungry, both for food and for immaterial things (especially attention)
  • Feel more brave
  • Feel more light-hearted/more easily amused

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. ]

[Which of course is the point all the thoughts come back.]

Oh, gods, what am I even saying...?

[Exactly what you mean, apparently.

[Wonderful.]

[ Aliza just giggles warmly; not in a way that makes fun, however. And she leans close to Alisaie's side, not the least bit shy. ]

Thank you. I don't think we need to focus overly on the rules, though. There's plenty of things to see today, and they're better seen with someone -- if you don't mind, that is.

O-of course not! You don't have anyone you'd rather be with, though...?

[Blushing blushing still blushing.

[Suddenly Alisaie is extremely thankful that whoever dreamed this outfit up thought to put shorts under the skirt, because otherwise she'd be feeling incredibly underdressed.]
sangreine: happy (quiet time)

[ Unfortunately for you, dear, Aliza absolutely lives for blushing. She's nothing but charmed and flattered by such expressions. ]

If there was someone I'd rather be with, that's where I'd be. I'm yours as long as you'll have me. [ Hugging Alisaie's arm a bit more for emphasis. Aliza does have a way about her when she's focused on someone, she does it with all of herself. ]

Anywhere you'd like to start?

Then I shall have to make the most of it.

[Twelve, Alisaie, what kind of a comment was that...? Are you trying to make yourself blush?

[MOVING ON.]

I was thinking of watching the dancers, if that's all right with you? It's not often we see these kinds of crowds, after all.

I like that plan. [ Making the most of it, and seeing the dancers. ] I'll just have to make sure that you also watch me enough, after the dancers are through.

[ She can't help herself, the blushing is adorable! More please! ]

[personal profile] scattershot 2022-01-29 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
You wouldn't mind that?

[And that's out before she has a chance to think better of it, too.]

I - don't wish to make you uncomfortable...

[You are extremely pretty though oh Alisaie please just stop.]
sangreine: happy (quiet laughter by enlaire)

[ All the flustering is so very endearing and sweet ]

If it would make me uncomfortable, I wouldn't have suggested it. [ Resting her chin on Alisaie's shoulder, still smiling away ] I think you'll find I'm not terribly shy.
