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.]

[ looping his hands around his waist and leaning in as close as he can without kissing him. ]

As ya wish.

[Doesn't lean away for once and in fact just tightens his grip, relaxing only slightly now that he’s getting his way]

[artlover]

Well. This is romantic.

[ he wasn't really thinking of acting on it, so much as pushing I's buttons. So they'll just hang out like this. ]

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

[Winding a braid around his hand]

I wouldn't imagine you enjoy that kind of story.

[artlover]

Is it too mundane for me?

Normally, you'd be halfway across the room, hissing at me.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Mundane isn't the word. In fact, I think you celebrate certain aspects of the mundane.

[artlover]

I do love humans, that's true. But I also like ya.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

You can't love humans and like me.

[artlover]

Well, I don't dislike ya. And I enjoy being around ya.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

[Unwinds the braid from his hand before rewinding it]

As long as you stay put, it's fine. That is, you're the human I want to be around.

[artlover]

[ cupping his cheek ]

What's in it for me? How will ya keep my attention?

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

I haven’t figured that out yet.

[artlover]

No ideas? Ya can just try a buncha stuff and see if it works.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

I'm not an artist, so I may have to think a little harder.

[artlover]

Are ya worried that ya can't do it?

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

…

I can answer any question you want?

[artlover]

[ That got him. ]

Do ya miss P?

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

…yes…

[artlover]

Did he make ya happy? And don't say stuff like that doesn't matter.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

...

[Turns his attention to undoing both braids]

What I like... What I want... What makes me happy... I've been asked those things more in my short time here than the rest of my existences combined. However, I've said it before, and I will say it again, but maybe this time you'll believe me... I can't feel happiness.

That said, there was a game where I was able to vicariously feel his happiness. So, in a sense, I suppose he did.

[artlover]

[ Enjoy all that hair ]

Are ya telling me this so I stop asking?

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

…I don’t know.

I’m not used to being around people as myself this much as I have been here.

[artlover]

Taking likes, wants and happiness out of the equation... I don't want ya feeling like ya have ta get dragged along into other people's nonsense. Ya still have a choice.

And ya seem ta take interest in some stuff. So we can keep doing those more.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

I like and dislike everything.

[artlover]

Are ya sure ya don't just dislike me dragging ya ta the museum outright?
