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.]

What do you think? What kind of tone do you want to set for our audience?

[coinstar]

Something playful this time, I think. Idols have to entertain and it's harder to pull off an improv performance with a heavy mood.

[glidinglight]

In that case... we're battling over which flavor jam is superior. Strawberry or blackberry!

[coinstar]

Perfect! Dibs on team strawberry, ehehe. So, are we ready to make a scene?

[glidinglight]

[ plants the fake crown squarely on his head ]

Ready as we'll ever be!

LIVE: STAGING A DEATH

[nodding and going directly into character brandishing his sword at her]

Your claims are an affront to the kingdom! There's no way blackberry jam could ever be superior to strawberry, I demand you take back your slander.

Re: LIVE: STAGING A DEATH

[glidinglight]

Never!

[ she points a finger at him ]

Every man, woman, and child knows deep in their hearts--blackberry is the tastiest jam in the land!

Re: LIVE: STAGING A DEATH

[coinstar]

A black fruit could only ever be the work of evil forces, tasty or not! You'll never convince me with words alone.

[he lunges to strike with his sword, knowing she'll probably parry or dodge with ease]

Re: LIVE: STAGING A DEATH

[glidinglight]

[ she parries, much more dramatically than strictly necessary ]

Judge food not by its color, but by its taste!

[ slashes at him in turn ]

[TAKES THE HIT AND THE BLOOD PACK BURSTS]

Uwahhhhh!! This cannot be!

[staggering backwards and falling onto his back in death throes]

I may be defeated--[dramatic coughing and gasp] but... strawberry... is... eternal...

[and letting his head loll, "dead"]

Re: LIVE: STAGING A DEATH

[glidinglight]

[ planting one boot (gently) on his prone body, hefting her "bloody" wooden sword in a cheering motion: ]

Long live blackberry! Long live blackberry!

Re: LIVE: STAGING A DEATH

[coinstar]

[trying very hard to be dead and not start laughing but she can probably feel the giggling vibrations start]

Re: LIVE: STAGING A DEATH

[glidinglight]

[ Honestly, it's fair, it's pretty ridiculous.

she'll deactivate the Live ]

I think that should be enough, don't you?

[coinstar]

[getting up merrily!]

Definitely. That was so much fun!

[glidinglight]

It was pretty fun. I'm glad we did that!

[coinstar]

Me too. I feel like we mostly get put together for serious games and stuff, so it's nice to do something lighthearted instead.
