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.]

Hmm, it helps in reminding me to just run with what my strings are telling me.

[ Waggles his fingers at him. ]

[coinstar]

Are you gonna tell me what that is? Since you've already achieved a mysterious atmosphere.

[catschanceinhell]

Oh I've got no idea, it's all confusing to me!

[coinstar]

No fair! I was counting on a brilliant theory from a stranger.

[Faux outrage!]

[catschanceinhell]

I can make total shots in the dark.

[coinstar]

[Dramatic sigh.]

All right, let's hear them.

[catschanceinhell]

Alien matchmakers intent on breeding the beings here to sell on their version of the black market as adorable pets.

[coinstar]

That's really dark, like a dystopian sci-fi or something. Idol breeding program for our space overlords. I wonder if there will be a rebellion.

[he's taken the idea and run with it apparently?]

[catschanceinhell]

[ Just like he's always admired about him, says his brain. ]

Have the rebel forces been mounting?

[coinstar]

Actually, kind of, yeah. No one I know, but I've heard some people who have graduated here recently plan to do something about this place. No idea what though, it's nothing I've been told about. In our story though I'd like to think there's some kind of uprising.

[catschanceinhell]

So a planned rebellion but not involving those on the inside? Sounds shoddy.

[coinstar]

Sorry, that's outside the scope of anything I know. I haven't been here that long, honestly.

[catschanceinhell]

Yeah? Where'd you hear your info from?

[coinstar]

[scratches the back of his neck]

Is it a problem if I honestly don't remember?

((ooc: I'm sorry he doesn't remember because I can't remember which thread either orz))

[catschanceinhell]

Eeeeeeh, bothersome but can't be helped. I can ask around.

(( OOC: Honestly, relatable. ))

[coinstar]

Ah, thanks. Sorry, I'd tell you if I knew, honest.

By the way, I'm Reed✩Radiant, from ✩ZRAEL. I don't think we did introductions.

[catschanceinhell]

Kershaw, with Avante apparently.

[coinstar]

[brightens]

Ah, you're on Kathy's unit! Sorry, er, he'll probably want you to call him Tsukasa. We know each other from back home.

[catschanceinhell]

You and the lil' prince are friends?

[coinstar]

According to him we are rivals on different units--we're idols where we come from too, for context--but I think we're also friends? He's fussy, it's hard to tell.

[catschanceinhell]

Rivals are just friends you punch sometimes.

[coinstar]

Really? We haven't punched each other yet, and I'd be fine if we didn't. I'd rather have a proper showdown as idols, and not the messed up Hell kind either.

[catschanceinhell]

What would a proper showdown look like?
