Who: Idols and idol accessories
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:
  • 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

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. ]

...! fashion show. We should do something like that at the mall. I bet we could host something like that at the mall and if we have someone from every unit, then we could get all sorts of clothes.
unbr8kable: (you don't say)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-01-22 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, that's true... Though do you actually want every type of clothes? If you were on a different team just for the aesthetic, what would it be?
586: (pic#14383252)

[personal profile] 586 2022-01-22 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I do. I'd like to own a bit of everything.

I think I would like Taisho's again. It's the easiest for me to wear in both forms, since I'm still not the most practiced fitting into these things. And BARiTONES, as much as I like its aesthetic, the suits are... very fitty.
unbr8kable: (at band camp?)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-01-23 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I guess suit pants ain't really made for tails. You need like--chaps, or something.
586: (pic#14426210)

[personal profile] 586 2022-01-23 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Or skirts. Or just... nothing at all. It's easier not to have to worry about squeezing into them, honestly.
unbr8kable: (ante up)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-01-24 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
No-pants suit jacket is a much different feeling than having both a top and bottom. If that's your mood, though, no worries.

[personal profile] 586 2022-01-24 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah! I know it's a little taboo to run around pantless, but it's certainly freeing. I recommend trying it sometime.
unbr8kable: (oh wow)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-01-25 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
I know how to be naked. We lost all our clothes after a game once, y'know.
586: (pic#14426203)

[personal profile] 586 2022-01-25 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? Well I'll have you know I'm a naked expert. [ clearly this is something to be proud of. ]
unbr8kable: (great success)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-01-25 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Even like that? Being naked's a lot different when you're pink and squooshy versus having sweet scales and claws and stuff.
586: (pic#14383250)

[personal profile] 586 2022-01-27 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I... don't think I ever ran around like this naked. I don't think people would appreciate it as much. [ preens. ] My scales are claws are pretty sweet, aren't they?
unbr8kable: (rough and ready)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-01-28 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
They're pretty rad. Dangerous-looking.

[personal profile] 586 2022-01-28 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I bet you could find an avante outfit that has some pretty cool spikes on it.
unbr8kable: (ooh~)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-01-29 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
You think? That wouldn't be Bad End or Taisho? I mean, I can make little swords, but that ain't the same.
586: (pic#14292700)

[personal profile] 586 2022-01-31 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Bad End certainly has *more* spikes, but there's got to be armor like outfits from avante that have spikes. We'll just have to do some serious browsing.
unbr8kable: (fiesta)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-03 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh man, I didn't even think about that. Could get a suit of suit and a suit of armor on the same day.
586: (pic#14501553)

[personal profile] 586 2022-02-03 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
All the suits. But that begs the question... has anybody ever hosted a jousting Live here?
unbr8kable: (hurm)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-04 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
...I think me and Hurricane did, way back at the beginning...? I mean, he kept talking about it... Now I don't really remember. Was gonna have motorcycles, though...

...What. You wanna learn to ride a horse?

[personal profile] 586 2022-02-04 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I would look a little ridiculous on a horse. I wouldn't mind being a noble stead for a particularly fierce warrior. I also have a carriage, if anybody was interested in having a relay race across the city.
unbr8kable: (ooh~)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-05 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
You got a car? Like fast or furious? What kind?
586: (pic#14502671)

[personal profile] 586 2022-02-05 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a carriage. Like a horse drawn carriage.
unbr8kable: (you don't say)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-05 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You got horses? We definitely done that live before, but could be interesting...
586: (pic#9836332)

[personal profile] 586 2022-02-05 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't need horses. I'm better than any horse!

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-02-05 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but who drives the carriage, then? Mules?
586: (pic#9936890)

[personal profile] 586 2022-02-06 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
You. You can drive the carriage!
