imeeji_frontstage | STRINGS GAME SCRAMBLE

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.]

Can I ask why? Not that I'm set on doing a memory myself, just curious.

My memories are a lot. They'll ruin your day. Plus I agreed not to take any for a while since I'm helping Doctor through his.

-- If I'm honest, I don't want any more memories. They cause nothing but misery, and I'm finally happy now.

Oh... I'm sorry Aliza. I didn't mean to make you think about painful stuff. I wonder if it'll be like that for me when I finally get some back.

It's fine, it was just a question.

I hope your memories will be nice ones. I think they will. You're too sweet to have entirely awful ones.

That's almost more ominous... I hope you didn't just jinx me!

[but his tone is faux serious]

That's the worst response I've ever had to a compliment. [ tease tease ]

Aliza is being so sassy today! Don't pick on your juniors!

Don't make yourself so easy to pick on.

[pouts]

I don't do any such thing, I'm just a pure soul.

[debatable]

[ tousling his hair ]

Don't be so sensitive. [ the IRONY of Aliza saying this to anyone ]

[squirms]

But aren't you--you know what never mind.

[he was going to point out the irony but thought better of it]

[ She'd probably laugh it off given her current mood ]

So, are we doing something to win this game or not?

Of course, but we haven't come up with something yet. I wonder if it counts as a 'fight' if you teach me some basic combat stuff. In case I ever need it in a bad game or something.

I can do that. Do you want to learn a weapon, or practice handfighting?

Hmm, which do you think would suit me more?

Depends what you want to do, really. But in a place like this it's probably best to have both skills, since we don't always get to take weapons with us but when they do let us use them, it's really brutal.

Yeah, that doesn't sound great. So let's start with hand to hand and go from there.

Okay. Let's go to an open space, like the park maybe.

If you like, I can help train you as often as you like. I'll bet Lumine will help too. I know a bunch of people here who are great in combat, actually. [ Of course she does ]

Park works for me. We'll see if I take to it, but it never hurts an idol to get more versatile.

If you want to be able to protect people, there's no better way. But if you don't like it, don't worry. That's what we're here for.

-- This is where I'd ask if you know anything about fighting or if you did any physical stuff like sports we can build on, but I imagine you don't know that yet. Other than dancing, maybe.

Dancing for sure. Some idols do stunt work for shows and some are known for fitness and health. I'm not sure if I'm either of those though, don't remember.

Martial arts is sort of like dancing, there's a rhythm to it. I actually listened to music when I was learning my rope dart so I could get it right.

Rope dart? But good maybe I'll take to it quickly.

[ She holds up a coiled rope with a huge star-shaped dagger attached to one end and a weight on the other ]

This thing. I picked it up since I've been here.

Cool, but intimidating. I don't know if I'll reach that level.
