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?

S'just so good....Honey, ya gotta eat this stuff.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

[picking up an apple, because I am nothing if not about canon-appropriate symbolism, and taking a bite]

...Oh...

...You're right, Shandy-kun.

...This is wonderful.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

We live here now.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

...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

[rugpull]

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

We can adapt!

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

...Adapt...?

...What do you mean?

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

Ain't ever heard of adaptin'?

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: 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]

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

Something like that, yeah. And of course the people who can't find probably hid.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

...That's very sensible. You're so knowledgeable, Shandy-kun.

...I suppose if something chased the previous inhabitants of this place away, the ones who hid are likelier to still be alive...

...Do you think it would be possible to break through one of the blocked gates?

[pointing at one of the gates overgrown with roots and such]

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

Eh....could set it on fire but that could be messy.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

...Would it? I've never set anything on fire before.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

I don't remember doing it but I've probably done it.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

...That's probably true. Your first thought was to turn to arson, after all.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

What would you do?

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

...Um...

...See if I could pull them apart enough to make a gap I could squeeze through.

...If that doesn't work... Look for axes or machetes to try and chop my way through?

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

Might be able t'might through it...

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

...Fufu, in that case, shall we give it a try?

...We can take some of the fruit with us as rations, in case we get through.

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[rugpull]

Perfect place.

[gathering an armload of food]

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[paradiseunboxed]

[stuffing some fruit in his blazer pockets too. nutrition is important!

also grabbing one of the sports sticks that are lying around before heading to one of the overgrown gates, using the sports stick to try and pry the roots and such apart]

Re: HEAVEN: COURTYARD

[idolpro]

[ the roots begin to just grow on the stick, toward Honey's hands. ]
