STRINGS GAME SCRAMBLE

[idolpro]

Who: All the kittens tangled in strings
Where: Imeeji
When: Day 512, late afternoon

[As everyone is finally starting to get their bearings with the strings and what they mean, and maybe learning a little about what they do, the kiosk and their phones will sound with a new alert.]

Thank you to all of our fans for participating in Imeeji's
🎉 4th Season Shipping Contest 🎉
All nominated ships and ship dynamics are now being processed. With the help of your idols we will be determining the winning ships.

---

[The game rules app on each person's phone reads:]

- Idols have been assigned relationship dynamics determined by their fans.
- Idols are encouraged to explore and display the dynamics of these relationships.
- Idols may also attempt to subvert the relationship to drive engagement.
- Winners will be determined by viewing numbers and fan engagement.
- Winners will have the option to switch relationships back to their original settings.
- The rest will be left on the setting they are on at the conclusion of the game, please develop your relationship as you like organically from there.

[With a twang, those who are participating in the game will find that their strings have been scrambled. It may not be all of them, but most of the familiar ones suddenly have new colors, and there may even be entirely new strings to complete strangers--not every ship makes sense! Time to work out these new relationships and show people what that's all about to have a shot at fixing it.]

If you could, please. A second opinion and pair of eyes is always welcome.

I'm sure that the fans who have been watching the--- what is the term...? --- "will they won't they" will be sorely disappointed in a sudden dynamic shift.

Though I imagine those who enjoy the rarepairs will certainly find this unexpected development a quaint surprise.

[[ Any color pref? If not, I think yellow/tan combo could be cute on Zhongli's end? Notice me, senpai ]]

[[ No preferences! I am here to make string dreams come true ]]

Hell is a land of instant gratification. No one appreciates what is colloquially referred to as "slow burn" anymore.

[leaveofabsence]

I see. Though that seems like all the more reason to see one done properly so that the audience may judge the merits of it for themselves.

[tradesecret]

Shall we disregard the threads and provide a demonstration?

[leaveofabsence]

I would be delighted.

Shall we start first by becoming friends? From my research on the topic, friends to romantic interests is not only popular but complements the slow burn quite well due to the nature of the involved parties not wanting to cause stress to their friendship.

[ I will backtag it but imagine she gave like a massive essay during monster bingo on being a workaholic and how that's totally a healthy life choice because she loves what she does and that's okay even if she doesn't sleep much. ]

That sounds like an excellent idea. It certainly wouldn't be a challenge being friends with you.

[ Mood, Yvette. What a mood. Assuming they had a moment(tm) of loving one's duty above all else ]

Then the first order of business should be some sort of icebreaker or friends date where we begin to learn more about each through an activity of shared mutual interest.

[tradesecret]

I see. Shall we enjoy tea and snacks while discussing our interests as well as the contract you'd like to draft?

[leaveofabsence]

[ Positively lights up at the word contract. ]

I could not imagine a better outing. Are you also an avid tea connoisseur as well?

[tradesecret]

[ cute! ]

I do not consider myself a connoisseur, but I am fond of it. I'd be happy to learn more about it.
