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. ]

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

I — I meant because my world doesn't have horses.
[ This is a sentence that got progressively quieter. ]
no subject
Somehow I get the feeling that isn't really the reason you find me so difficult to look at right now.... does it?
no subject
I — no. [ Muttered, ] It's... [ Gestures helplessly at her head, with the hand not currently covering his face. ] It's the ears.
no subject
I... had a feeling.
[She learned something really cute about Lupine today and really, that along with the outfits are win enough for her.]
...I can take them off for now if you want. I'm not really worried about the points after all.
[For now.]
no subject
[ Just. Going to keep his hand right here while the red spreads to his ears. ]
Sorry.
no subject
[Serenity unties the ribbon from her hair and pulls off the fuzzy tiger ear headband.]
I don't think I've ever seen you get flustered like this before. I think it's quite charming.
[It's not often she gets to have that kind of strong impact on others. so she can't deny she enjoyed it a little. But his comfort naturally comes first.]
Besides... you already know one of my weaknesses. So. Now we're even~
no subject
Yeah, well. Should've seen me when sIV did that maid cafe live. I almost walked into a wall trying to leave.
[ Sort of mumbled. He cracks two fingers, dares to glimpse her expression through them. ]
—You don't... mind?
[ No one has thought it was creepy yet, but there's always a first time!! ]
no subject
...but oh she definitely remembers the maid cafe. Extremely well. She can just picture the sort of trouble he had with all of that going on around him.]
--no, of course not. [Serenity isn't the sort to cast judgments unnecessarily in the first place, and certainly not about those sorts of things. She can see the draw. That's why--] I'd mind even less if you let me indulge you with the real thing a little more... privately.
[A sinful offer from the smile of an angel.]

I can't understand you if you don't speak clearly.
no subject
—I said, And it doesn't help that this thing keeps getting me laid.
[ Just. How is he supposed to stop having this reaction to unexpected ears on cute people when so many of them immediately suggest using it on him in bed?! ]
no subject
[His look in that outfit was more than enough reason for her.]
But... for me-- you've indulged me a lot, so... the thought of getting to return the favor is extra nice~
no subject
Well, I do try to make sure the show's worth the price of admission.
[ Wink. ]
You're warned that so far they've made me pretty — malleable.
[ But he's yet to be with someone who had ears and also really wanted him to top, so. Maybe malleable works both ways. ]
no subject
[It does occur to her that between the particular effects of the monster event and the particular... weakness... of hers that he learned about, he probably hasn't had much reason to think she could-- or would be the assertive one who enjoys taking control at times.]
I can apply as much... pressure... as you'd like~
no subject
But. Well. His eyes lid. ]
Is that right. Any — particular kind of pressure?
no subject
Mmmhmm~ I don't know... You're a sturdy fellow. I'm confident you can withstand a bit of rough love. Tigers are predators after all.
no subject
I mean, I've got a pretty high pain threshold. [ Beat. ] And a lot of what hurts...
[ One-shouldered shrug. ]
—Well. Let's just say context makes a difference.
[ He's — definitely kind of a masochist, Rene, but not the kind that gets off on the pain the gamerunners inflict on them. ]
no subject
Mm, I understand exactly what you mean.
[Serenity lifts a hand, slowly dragging a single nail down his exposed chest; sharp and well-manicured-- teasing with increasing pressure as she traces the edges of his well-definited muscles.]
If that's what you want then~ I won't disappoint.
no subject
Might be something I'd like.
[ Kind of up until this moment, as much as he was starting to lean into it a little more, he really hadn't been sure he'd be into just — straight painplay, instead of incidentally rough. He still wants to reserve final judgment here, is not making promises, but....... ]
no subject
There's one way to find out.
[He finger trails to the edge of his top, hooking around the hem and giving it a firm little tug.]
If~ you have the time to spare~
no subject
I mean, I don't think the festival's going anywhere.
no subject
[Sensing they're on the same page, she'll release his shirt and turn just to wink over her shoulder. So he can watch the tiger tail swish with the movement of her hips.
It seems like she knows exactly where to go-- because she has exactly what she needs back at Bad End.]
