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.]

When you said dirty right now, I began contemplating where the producers might harvest such blood and I'm afraid that's a train of thought that I do not wish to dwell on too much.

My condolences to your plumbing.

[drownout]

I'll ponder it enough for both of us, thank you for your sympathies.

[leaveofabsence]

You have my heartfelt appreciation.

[ But also--- ]

This game has not been quite friendly to all of its participants, has it? Do you need help with any of your colors?

[drownout]

Ah... it's not as though anything has actually happened, but I suppose it's a little unnerving to go around without being able to really tell what's happening... does it seem like it would be possible for us to play together for a little while?

[leaveofabsence]

I would be delighted to play with you. It seems we have both share a pine string for a familial bond.

You'll have to excuse my attempt at acting though as I have not had a family before in the more traditional sense.

...

Never mind. I'll go play by myself, actually!

[leaveofabsence]

Oh.

Do you find such activities unpleasant?

[drownout]

It's... not that I necessarily dislike them putting aside the brainwashing so much as- ah, for the record, it's not that I dislike you or anything?!

[leaveofabsence]

I take no personal offense, even if it due to a dislike of being fictionally related to me.

But that is quite a strong reaction from you.

[drownout]

I just... realized that this game is having an effect on me and I acted on it before I noticed...

[ Zhongli brings a hand to his chin as he considers his own actions during this game. Oh... dear. ]

I see. It appears they wish us to do a little more than simply play a role for the fans.
