ENGAME PART 1: TOKYO-F

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?

OBJECTIVES | START (CURRENT IDOLS + DROPPED IDOLS) | START (HEAVEN GRADUATES) | TURN-IN

[heading to the tree, walking at a leisurely pace! he doesn't touch it quite yet, just gazes up at its translucent tallness.]

Big motherfucker, ain't it?

...it seems like there's been a lot of redecorating since I was here...

Kes--Rain??? The fuck happened to you??

Ahaha... just call me Shrike. It's what I go by, these days.

I guess you still don't remember, huh.

What the fuck is there for me to remember about your shitty life?

...nothing, really. Don't worry about it.

Anyway, I'm—doing better now.

Yeah, I can fucking see that. No more scaring small children in the street. Must be nice.

[it...doesn't quite come out as reflexively hostile as it might have, another time. he's not entirely sure how he feels about seeing Shrike in the flesh, or how he wants to feel about it, so...he's just going to go with the tried and true method of ignoring all of that.]

Anyway, the tree's new, and apparently it's gonna take Tokyo-F down and all of us with it if someone doesn't stop it.

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.

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

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

Well, unless you've got any better ideas, might want to climb it and see what's going on. There's some strange things above this city.

Don't let me keep you.

[he turns away without another word to walk a quick loop around the base of the tree, trying to figure out how deeply rooted it is, or looking anything odd or out of place in the Dead Zone (aside from the giant translucent tree).]

[not surprising, but also he was kind of hoping that if he detoured around the tree then Shrike would go away.....]

What happened to climbing the fucking tree?

Well, I thought I ought to take a look at it, first. Are you going to write me up for insubordination?

Well, you got along better with our old employer, after all. I'm already AWOL.

You don't want a lift up there, do you?

Someone said this thing's s'posed to have a fucking teleport built into it or some shit that takes you right to the top. Didn't mention how it fucking works though.

[reaching after her without thinking and touching the tree--]

...Holy shit, it really does teleport you to the fucking top.
