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

Of course. If that’s something you intend to explore with the rest of the idols I wish you the best of luck. As for me, I’m afraid I have no intention of handing over my points, especially since I need those to spoil my mates, so if there’s any hint of a risk in “taking care” of me, then you may leave me dead.
[ to himself, mostly. ] …sleep potions aren’t a bad avenue to consider. [ maybe he’ll talk to tea. ]

Look, I personally ain't got a problem with leavin' ya in the care of a certain Lady, but ya gotta be sure ya've got the blessings of your unit 'n whoever else has been puttin' love in your heart or whatever ta go through with that plan. I mean, maybe they'll support ya? But I ain't actually tryin' ta leverage some weakness against ya for points if that's what's got ya diggin' in your heels. Claws? [Wave]
no subject
[ snorts. ] I can make my own decisions. [ he doesn't like the idea of being on a leash and having to have somebody elses consent to do something... even if it's a matter of life and death. is he being needlessly stubborn, absolutely. ]
What then? My apologizes don't seem to mean much and I can only promise to try to do and be better.
no subject
Ah, don't let my rudeness fool ya though, I do appreciate ya considerin' ways ta make things easier for my unit, I know ya aren't doin' it for my sake.
[Hmmm--digs out a tiger headband and casually sticks it on Pentium's head] Here, you're gonna end up with bad luck with all this talk!
no subject
I can't say I believe you. [ sorrynotsorry. ]
[ 8|. ] If I do become a swirl of bad luck because of all of this talk you have nobody to blame but yourself.
no subject
But let's step back a bit! I mean I know I was purposely pokin' at ya a bit, and revival logistics aren't like the cheeriest of topics, but it's not like a moral judgement ta go over 'em. It's more like havin' a fire escape plan, ya know? Even Ren-chan didn't think of havin' a hazard fee as a punishment, she was just realizin' that a fire fighter has ta get close to a fire ta put it out--it's an inherently dangerous job and nobody's thought ta ask for worker's comp! So even if ya'd rather we just avoid the fire then, I do appreciate ya bein' willing ta talk ta your team about how ta keep from settin' a fire in the first place!
Not ta say I actually think kindly of ya or anythin', but I'm not sure I can claim all the credit for the things that're spoilin' your night? What're ya feelin' so bad about?
no subject
...ask the production for compensation then, since they assigned you the role, and their expectation of you is to fill it. I don't care what you do, honestly. Leave me for dead. If you're this concerned about what's going to happen if you so much as think about reviving me... then just don't bother. And there is only so much that anybody can do against a set of randomized circumstances.
Oh, no, don't be ~modest now, Pink, you can absolutely have all the credit for ruining my night. [ activates ain't misbehavin' to to give pink a round of applause, meaning he'll join him in doing so. he takes a sweeping bow afterward and then walks him straight into the nearest wall, chair, or table. he makes sure he his own path is clear, but once pink collides with whatever he deactivates the ability and walks off. ]
Have a nice trip, Pink, see you next fall.

--I'm just sayin' [👏] your puttin' [👏] your own [👏] insecurities [👏] on [👏] me. [bows]
[And thonks his shin into a side table real good]--OW! [hopping and rubbing his shin, but at least he doesn't pursue... for now]
Jeez, and he keeps wonderin' why an apology ain't good enough...
