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

[ Graduated to so amused. ]
no subject
[ He can tell you're amused, buster! ]
no subject
[ .......He doubts it's that. And unfortunately the sullen is genuinely cute. ]
no subject
[ He's just tsun, ]
no subject
Well, it's nice to see both of you having a good time. And you practically match.
no subject
Oh. I guess we do.

Oh, I should, should I.
[ This does not strike him as a wish for his future happiness, ]
no subject
[ With a completely straight face. ]
no subject
[ Kid, he does know Valor, even if not as well as you. ]

I didn't say that because I thought your reaction would be funny.

[ And his grin is widening. ]
Is being cute really that bad?
[ He knows you're fifteen, but c'mon, there are good things about being cute, too. ]
no subject
[ He huffs. ]
...It just feels weird, and it's not like me being cute really counts for anything.
no subject
[ But his smile is falling. ]
What's it supposed to count for?
no subject
[ Said somewhat sourly. ]
no subject
I mean, it can? I guess? [ A little blank. ] But we're talking about clothes. It's not like — you just threw a punch at me during a spar or something, and I said it was a cute attack.
[ He is making a face at the sound of these words coming out of his own mouth. He'd do that, but not to Lark; not to anyone he actually liked or respected. ]
no subject
[ When he thinks about it, it's like, well, aren't you being a little ridiculous, Skylark? People don't mean anything bad when they say that to you, most of the time. A lot of people you love call you cute because they adore you. You even call other people cute.
It's just hard to bite back on feeling like you're only cute when it's convenient to other people, sometimes. And besides, you know you're actually pretty uncute at times too, and would they still call you cute if they knew? ]
...Sorry, I know you don't mean anything bad by it.

no subject
[ He waggles a hand, as if to express some notion of it being kind of messy. ]
It's complicated, I guess. Serenity calls me cute too.
[ And B did, and so does Lancelot, and maybe Crane? So did Shrike. ]
no subject
Just because you like it from her doesn't have to mean you like it from me. I can cut it out?
no subject
...Ugh, this is so troublesome... ]
...I'm just bad at taking compliments, I guess.
