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. ]

- 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

[ He places his hand in the crook of Childe's arm. ]
Come. Let us see if the production's take on the cuisine stands up to your interpretation.

[ Said as Zhongli picks up a plate and starts preparing a dish for Childe much as how he often ordered at restaurants for the two of them.
Over-ordered anyway.
As he sets one plate down and starts preparing a second. ]

[ I AM ROLLING A DIE FOR THIS. ]
no subject
Of course, Childe.
I look forward to seeing how you've improved.
no subject
Did you want to find a nice spot outside, so we can enjoy as much of this as we can? [ re; all the beautiful decor. ]
no subject
[ He picks up another plate - this time for himself as he pickily chooses the best looking items on each serving plate. ]
Well then - shall we?

A few. Some to the healers who helped us out along the way and the gentleman on Bad End who suggested that I propose to you after seeing my ideal world.
It appears I was thoroughly beaten to such an endeavor though. Much to his amusement.
no subject
Oh yeah? Were you going to?
[ takes a few moments to get the 'proper' grip on his chopsticks. ] Look, Xiansheng, [ holds them up. ] not half bad, eh?
no subject
Master Childe is always getting stronger and improving himself.
As for your first question, I intended to give it some thought after my emotions had calmed. I did not want such an important decision to be a reactionary one based on residual feelings from the dream. You deserve so much more than that.
But then when you asked me---
Well, the answer was obvious. And came naturally.

But I guess that had been a pipe dream considering where we are, and waiting may take forever. [ something he doesn't really have. of course there are people working on helping with that, but... ] I hope you liked what I ended up doing. I like to think the beach is important to us both. [ kisses his cheek. ]

Is there anything more endearing than his enthusiasm or his earnestness? Even if it means wasted food on the floor. ]
no subject
They're engaged now.
Which makes this much more proper for Zhongli to do. ]
It seems the technique is still escaping you.
Please try a little of the food yourself. I would not want you to walk away from such a feast without being able to sample any of it.
no subject
[ but zhongli is there to grab another dumpling and offer it to him, so it's hard to stay upset for very long. he leans over to gnab the food, eating it with a smile. ]
I don't think I'll have to worry about that as long as you're here. But... let me try again. [ going to make another attempt, adjusting his grip on the chopsticks to start and slowly but surely reach for another morsel. ] How's this? [ he's concentrating incredibly hard. ]
Chinese New Year
Better.
Re: Chinese New Year
Re: Chinese New Year
Of course.
Perhaps you should add an additional training course to your daily workout routine. It does seem you are getting better with practice.
And when you are not put on the spot to perform. Nerves, perhaps?
Re: Chinese New Year
[ little does zhongli know he has been practicing a lot. ]
[ it's only when zhongli is around!! ] No, it's not nerves. [ it's nerves. ]
