fanmail + light holiday event!

[idolpro]

Who: you!
Where: hotel lobby
When: Day 518

[ it's FANMAIL TIME except this time the fanmail isn't in boxes they're in bags. why bags?

well, they're red bags. with fur lining. so maybe they're . . . santa bags . . . !!

Which means there must be gifts, right? Right? Which, yes. sort of.

Each bag has a dozen or so holiday decorations inside of them, and people who are caught aware (or are just unlucky enough to run into an already-opened bag) will find themselves accosted by one, with a little note of what the "cure" for the decoration is:

Decoration	Effect	Cure
Mistletoe	Physically stuck in place	Kiss someone (anywhere)
Wreath	Obedience compulsion	Obey 10 distinct (no repeats) orders
Tree Star	Fall in love with people at first sight	Be confessed to by your target
Light-up Candy Cane	All I Want For Christmas Is You keeps playing in your head forever	Sing the full version of a DIFFERENT song with someone
Stocking	Compulsion to be contrary/mean/deliberately a problem to people	Genuinely hurt someone's feelings
Tree Skirt	Compulsion to dress up and RP a different personality/role	Be applauded for your performance
Plastic Miniature Snowman	Mild to moderate fever, illness, shivers	Sleep in the same bed with someone

Once the cure has been fulfilled, the effect will fade, leaving the decoration a normal object. Until then, the decoration is stuck somewhere on an idol's body (movable, like it's metal to a magnet).

Status effects and decorations will disappear OOCly at the end of the month, so you can assume these are around for further posts!

The city itself seems to have been decorated for the holidays, with cutesy mascots and floats and Christmas lights bringing a festive mood, but be wary, because some of them are the very same cursed decorations accosting idols in the lobby right now and if you get too close they might stick to you................ ]

Or vice-versa?

[ergospheric]

Either way...

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

What did you do to catch their attention?

[ergospheric]

There was another game. We were in a group and had to guess spots on a grid to sink ships the other group had...

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

...

...

...

Was it explosions again?

[ergospheric]

No. When the ships sank there were angry fish that ate our limbs and made us hallucinate and stuff.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

...

Is that worse or better?

[ergospheric]

I think worse. It made me pretty mad, so I worked really hard to win.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Anger is a pretty powerful motivation.

[ergospheric]

Yeah. ... We did win. In the end.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

[ergospheric]

[ soft huff ]

I don't feel that bad. They were trying to make us lose too.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

You shouldn't feel bad. Everyone just wants to live. Afterall...they wouldn't sacrifice themselves for us. Why should we be expected to die for them?

[ergospheric]

Yeah. It was really close, so...

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

So, it's fine. You weren't being cruel, you were protecting yourself and your team. The same as anyone else here would do. I just hope you didn't take baked goods to the losing teams afterwards?

[ergospheric]

I can't bake.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Good. That would have been tacky.

[ergospheric]

I think I'd have to be sorry to want to give them an apology cake or something.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

What a cute response!

[ergospheric]

Well, if they had killed us and then pretended to be sorry I'd be insulted.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Mm, I feel the same.

[ergospheric]

But I got a bunch of fanmail about it... well, 'a bunch', it was like... two pieces.

[morelikefakespeareamirite]

Does it bother you?

[ergospheric]

Not exactly... I didn't do it to be entertaining, so it's a little annoying.

Unfortunately, what the reader takes away from a story rarely has little to do with the actual message.
