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

Well, if you don't mind hanging out, let's take a walk? Can work on taking off those layers later.
no subject
no subject
C'mon then. Heard something about some dancers?
no subject
It's pretty amazing out there. Zhongli helped me make a wish on a lantern.
no subject
Whoa, for real? Think it's gonna come true?
no subject
I doubt it, but it's nice to think about anyway. What would you wish for?
no subject
...How many wishes do I get?
no subject
I only got one, but I'll be generous and give you three.
no subject
[It's a little difficult to nudge against someone when you've got your hand around their shoulders, but she does her best]
Still... I thought if you said 'em, they wouldn't come true. Or's that only for shooting stars?
no subject
I don't think mine will come true anyway, maybe that's why I don't mind discussing it.
no subject
[Her own smile goes a little wry (she knows)]
...I'd wish for a happy ending. Since it ain't like I can change the beginning.
no subject
I wished to be free of my past. I don't think that one's too likely.
no subject
[A pause]
...Think that's why you're here?
no subject
Hm, do you mean why I'm here in this place at all, or why I'm here with you now? [ Those are two very different questions, but she'll answer either one. For once. ]
no subject
Here, in Hell--on the program. Ain't too many wishes I can take care of, sadly. But if you graduate, you can get one...right?
no subject
[ But, alas, to the point. ] I never really thought about it -- graduating, I mean. I just got here. But it seems to me that I can't graduate if I don't face my demons. If it were up to me, though, I'd never buy another memory. But I can't really do that, so I'm left with wishing I can somehow have both.
Pretty silly, huh?
no subject
...You've gotta have at least a couple good ones in there. You wouldn't be this nice if you had 100 percent bad stuff all the time.
no subject
You should have seen me when I first woke up. I couldn't even speak, I tore up the entire dorm in a fit. I'm only nice because of the people that found me at first, and even with all that help I still struggle with my temper, as you've seen.
I like humans, that's all. Some more than others, of course.
no subject
Lotsa humans don't like humans. And lotsa people had bad times waking up here and still're douches, regardless of who found 'em. I'm just saying, don't downplay yourself.
no subject
[ Huh. ]
When you say that, I actually believe it a little. [ Which is about as glowing a compliment as she's given anyone. ]
-- You sure you're not just a little biased?
no subject
If I was, would it make a difference? I got a good point, for once.
no subject
Besides, I'm going to try to get you in bed even without the flattery. Save your energy.
no subject
You-- That ain't why I said it...!
no subject
[ Stretching up to kiss that adorable blushy face, an apology if she wants to take it that way. ] I do mean it, though. Unless you have a better offer.
no subject
Well-- Turns out, ain't too many people who like humans're around. So, I can clear some time in the calendar. If you want.
