Who: Anyone
Where: Gametower
When: Day 513 evening

[Finally all participating idols are drawn back to the game tower by a string. As the last people enter, the threads covering everything start to turn clear and fade from sight. The kiosk and phones ping with the final announcement.]

Our winners for this event are:
☆ZRAEL! For really bringing their Most. The teasing, the spice, the way they twist the knife! All the fans can't wait to see their next reactions!
avante en garde & LiliS! Shout out to Burnt Cinnamon Roll and 🐺 for being too precious. These soft feelings just weren't meant to last.

Thank you again to our fans for all your votes and views. Whether you showed up to support the choices of your favorite idols or did a hate-watch campaign to break up a ship you didn't like, we appreciate your enthusiastic participation to the end!

[And that's the show! The kiosk sinks and disappears into the ground, the Gametower finally fully returning to normal. The idols on the winning units will be able to 'toggle' off the strings they've been carrying around throughout the game. All they have to do is take the string and will it back to normal and the color will run clear and the string fades from view, the connection safely back in the metaphysical realm.

But the rest will find their threads still linger. Maybe they were lucky and whatever colors they landed on before the game ended was close enough to their normal relationships, or something else more tolerable, or they were unlucky and it's the most wildly weird relationship they could have. Either way their threads still spill off them and at this point, if it's not what they want... they might have some feelings to process.]

-in public is different.

[Hides his face against her shoulder preemptively.]

[sangreine]

I know. [ She strokes though his hair and down his back gently ] I wouldn't have done it if not for the manipulated feelings. [ She tries to be respectful outside of game effects ]

[happydreamed]

I know. [Squeeze.] It could have been far worse. I don't know what I'd have done if it made you hate me.

[sangreine]

[ She puts on her best reassuring smile ]

Then we change the colors, like we did this time. Or we wait it out, which is the case most of the time even if it seems not to be true here. [ As far as she knows ]

But I can't imagine myself hating you for good, not with the history we have. So I have faith in that, at least.

[happydreamed]

Nor I you, even if they were to try to make me hate you. [Squeeze.] But I am glad our true feelings shone through.

[sangreine]

It's a really nice feeling that they couldn't stop us from loving each other.

-- Honestly, if you can forgive what happened when I was poisoned then I think this place will have an impossible time driving us apart. [ Excepting transfers or the like. ] We have so much to worry over here, I don't think that should be one of them.

[happydreamed]

Indeed. Let the fans meddle all they like, nothing will change my love for you.

[sangreine]

[ She tries to avoid grinning like a fool by giving him a quick kiss, but she's still grinning oops ]

I inscribed your ring with "whatever may come" for a reason.

[happydreamed]

Always. Though it may be foolish to taunt the viewers where they can hear, I care not.

[Let them try.]

[sangreine]

It's not taunting so much as stating facts.

Besides, if they got what they wanted, whatever that is, then they'd just want something else. We may as well do what is best for us. And what's best for me is you.

nsfw bracket joke

[he isn't going to make a comment about doing him but he definitely thought it]

And you for me, my dear. I shall enjoy our time together to the fullest.

[ She'd respond if she knew he was thinking it, alas! For once her mind's firmly out of the gutter. ]

That's all I could possibly ask. Their hate mail will keep us warm if we burn it.

[happydreamed]

[tragic, truly.]

I do so love a crackling fireplace and a cup of warm tea.

[sangreine]

When I get my new room, we could build a bonfire pit on the beach. I was planning on making a little area for sleeping by the sea anyway, a futon and a few small things, it would be nice to have a fire too.

[happydreamed]

Careful now. If you make it too comfortable I'll never want to leave.

[sangreine]

You've discovered my secret plan, oh no!

I'll keep some tea and a kettle around too, of course. Everything we need close at hand. I haven't felt like I really have a home here yet so this will be special.

[happydreamed]

I'm glad you're getting this upgrade. You deserve a space that's your own, where you can feel comfortable.

[sangreine]

Me, too. I wish I had that with my unit as most everyone else does, but I suppose it's my nature to wander. Maybe this will help.
