ENGAME PART 1: TOKYO-F

[idolpro]

Who: All Heaven Graduates and Idols!
Where: Tokyo-F and Heaven
When: Dawn of the Final Day

Rise! And shine! And holy fuck what the shit is that.

Rising tall above the skyline of the city is a massive translucent tree, which seemingly has sprouted from the deadzone crater and is bathed in light leading straight up to…Heaven? The hotel alarms are blaring, and the maintenance fairies are for once actually present and visible - despite the fact that there's nothing broken.

They're fluttering about frantically, screaming in panic at each other while doing…whatever they're doing. You can catch snippets of their speech -

"What is that!" "What is happening?" "Where is Madame-Administrator?" "Seal off all exits!" "Prepare for separation!"

Heaven graduates, meanwhile, find that all of them are receiving a message on their phones:

Hey, wanna free your friends?

...I don't think we'd last very long if we did move up here.

...Catastrophic happenings aside, we'd probably run out of food fairly quickly, and I don't see any means of replenishing it.

...Also, the atmosphere here is... [he coughs a little, like something's stuck in his throat] ...not very comfortable.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[tradesecret]

The tree was growing alongside the chain to Heaven for a few mon— [ he's carrying a stone table ]

Oh, my.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

I can deal with that for the food....

We can adapt!

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[idolpro]

[ wow! so strong!

Large stone objects are now blocking the vines from moving further. They are just slowly growing up on the tables, though. ]

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[childeishly]

[ drops it into place and huffs, because he needs to catch his breath, but, yes, please admire his strength!!! ] But to suddenly sprout into this? Then again, nothing's ever made sense here. Do you think we should look around some more?

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[childeishly]

...hm. [ is this good, is this bad, ...he's not sure of anything at the moment. has this affected the portal any? has it calmed itself down? ]

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[tradesecret]

Should we cut the vines away?

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[childeishly]

Sure. Let's see if we can't prune this tree. [ going to take a look around. ] Do you remember seeing anything we might be able to use? I'm pretty sure there used to be weapons out here, but going to be honest I didn't take that good of a look this time, since I made a b-line to the strange happenstance.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

...Adapt...?

...What do you mean?

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

Ain't ever heard of adaptin'?

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[tradesecret]

[ puts a leg up on the table and pulls out an assortment of knives, a bottle of alcohol and a lighter, all strapped to her thighs. ]

Re: TOKYO-F: HOTEL

[identitypolitics]

A good question that we should try to learn the answer to.

If nothing else, there's that... "heaven" place that got mentioned in that big book of information.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[childeishly]

[ all of his tails start wagging because he's deLIGHTED. ] Hah! A woman after my own heart. [ he brings a hand to his chest and grins. ] I'll leave the gardening to you, Yvette. [ motions at the vines. ]

[ also, he's kind of curious about the portal, so what would happen if... he threw a small rock into it? ]

Re: TOKYO-F: HOTEL

[proceedwithcautus]

Well... we'll see if we can, then!

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[tradesecret]

[ don't mind her, trying to cut the vines with her knives, pour alcohol in it and then set the cuts on fire. ]

Re: HEAVEN: GATES

[wokeatdawn]

Oh. That sounds bad, yes.

...weird to think of this place not being around. I guess it makes sense that something like this could grow in the crater. It must reach all the way up to their version of the celestial lands.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

...I'm aware of what it means. I was just wondering how you saw yourself adapting to life here.

...As for me... I'm not sure I'd like to live in such an empty place.

...Even if the food is delicious.

Re: TOKYO-F: HOTEL

[paradiseunboxed]

...Heaven...

...At least it won't be Hell, I suppose.

...Though personally, I'd rather find an exit back to Earth.

...How do we get to Heaven from here, Saffron-senpai?

Re: TOKYO-F: HOTEL

[widenessofthesea]

At last, the end of this place. Well, I am of course here to provide assistance, for whatever is needed—perhaps it's easiest for me to serve in an investigatory capacity, though.

I did rather like Heaven, the time I visited. Strange as that feels to say.

Re: TOKYO-F: HOTEL

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[please hold while he tries to imagine Hope in Yu-Shan]

Seriously? ...What kinda shitty Heaven do they have here?

Re: HEAVEN: GATES

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[shading his eyes, looking up the trunk to see how tall it is]

Yeah? Well, this fucker's definitely tall enough for it.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

Good food is worth everything...

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

...I wonder why it was abandoned, then.

...It seems like the people living here left quite abruptly, without even pausing to pack up their food or other belongings.

...Where do you think they went?

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

Well if they were in trouble, to a more defendable spot. Somewhere t'bottleneck the enemy or get the high ground.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

...Like that hallway?

[pointing at the one open gate that's not overgrown]
