Who: Idols Only!
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 30, Evening

[ Your phone alert goes off: time to get to the Game Tower. Follow the map, and you'll get there, the same as always!

Should you decide to go, no one appears on the monitors as you ride the elevator up. Looks like there's no host today. That's… probably a good sign? Your phone gets a message popping up with the instructions, and the doors open to a floor, not too high up, with an expansive bar. Anything you want to drink, it's here, organized by alcohol level-- with cups beneath the shelves helpfully marked and corresponding to how much you have to drink to equal one shot of vodka. (30ML of 40 percent alcohol) There's a little analyzer too at the bar that helpfully will tell you what glass to use with your cocktail, if you make one from the recipe book sitting there.

There's lounge chairs and tables and a nice view.

This should be a nice fun relaxing game!

Hopefully. Don't embarrass yourself too bad, it's time for Truth or Drink!

[ Did you enjoy your day? Were you doing something important? Did you want to get up to your dorm, maybe? That's too bad!

In front of the elevators are nine big boxes, marked to every unit, full of envelopes and goodies. What's this . . . ?

Oh, right. You have fans, remember? Welcome to the celebrity life! Hopefully there's nothing too creepy in them. . . right? ]

[So this unit had fun at a game, decked out their dorm like the chapel in a haunted house, got to see their beloved deity once more before She left again, AND they're getting cute juniors today! Life is good.]

Who: Unit veterans and their newly scouted kouhai!
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 26 - Afternoon

[ Evening falls early over Tokyo-F. It's less a sign of the approach of changing seasons (as it is currently 1:00 PM) and more reminiscent of the ever-present night of Tanabata. Especially as little fires flare up around town, on altars to welcome spirits. Lanterns have been strung over streets and open spaces, and Japanese folk music echoes through the empty streets-- an uncanny atmosphere that exists in a liminal space between festive and unsettling. Fitting, for an Obon Festival.

Shinjuku Gyoen has a tower set up, taiko drums in the center and hologram dancers all around and crowding the area— perhaps here the lonely feeling of empty faukyo fades, surrounded by a crowd you can fade into and spend some time dancing with. Or perhaps it increases, seeing these figures who don't see you at all, as if you are the ghost in the crowd. Nearby, the tea house has a banquet set up-- all funeral food, but all free.

If characters choose to make their way to the waterfront, they'll find paper lanterns waiting for them, to be floated out to sea if they choose to do so. A sign nearby any given collection of them will tell characters:
During Obon the souls of the dead return to visit the living— and so we release these lanterns out to sea, to guide the souls back safely to peace.

Oh, also, you have new scouts, good luck dealing with them on top of your Betrayal trauma.

((OOC: The festival will last the last the rest of day 26, and this flavor can be assumed to be in effect for all other posts made on Day 26. Please make your own post for newbie arrivals, but this will be here as a more general post or live opportunity post.)) ]

idolpro

Who: Traitors and Survivors, Exael
Where: The Game Tower, and leaving it
When: Day 25, morning-- it appears that game lasted the bulk of day 24 into the night.

[ Abruptly, the nightmare ends.

You, in the rooms you kept restarting in, awoke. Before you can even panic, before even despair, the elevator doors were open in front of you to take you downstairs again. It could be a trap, sure, but your head is quiet— those fucking ghosts are gone. You also appear to be wet like someone dumped, perhaps, a bucket of holy water on you while you were asleep. All your wounds are gone, and you have been left bereft of any physical damage from your ordeal.

Unless you choose to take some with you. Nothing prevents you from taking any of your spoils downstairs with you, if you wish it, though all revolvers will have no ammo.

On the screens as you descend back to the lobby, Exael is clapping on screen, broadcast showing her in the mansion's entrance hall. "And so close the gates to this forbidden garden, and so closes this chapter of our story! Just as—" her hologram flickers as she doesn't seem to notice, chattering still to the cameras, "so too will—" fzzt, fzzt. Static, flickering, and then back into focus, "So give them all a hand! Everyone, you've done well! You stand before us still, ready to present us all with more marvels after having survived such grisly wonders with—" "—in the balance!"

As she speaks, she doesn't notice a figure approaching behind her. He's in a slick suit with both hands in his pockets, and you've seen him before— his portrait is in the foyer. His shoes are utterly silent as he walks across the marble floor, till he's right at her back.

"Audience and actors alike, we've been blessed with—" Her hologram doesn't flicker this time, but she stops speaking. Her eyebrows furrow as she tries to figure out what's amiss, and only belatedly begins to slowly look over her shoulder.

"Exael," he says with a friendly hand on her solidifying hologram shoulder, the effect spreading beneath his touch, "We need to have a chat about your requisitions paperwork."

She tilts her head, eyes wide with a finger tapping against her cheek as she thinks, "I didn't do any!"

"Yes," he agrees, smiling with all his teeth. "I know."

The broadcast cuts. The doors open to let you leave. ]

idolpro

Who: Exael and the rest of you lot
When: To be inserted into the timeline after completion
What: Betrayal at the House on the Game Tower

[ The GAME ALERT and map show on the screen of your phones— idols, you know what to do!

The Game Tower elevator doors are open to receive, and close once they have you in their confines and the broadcast monitors click on. You can keep an eye on the city further and further below you, as watch with your host's introduction to today's game.

At the very least it's not Mukuro's face on the screen this time. Instead it's Exael again, pigtails bouncing as she hops up from a grand low bow— it looks like they cut part of her broadcast spiel for you guys. With a showman's flair, she twirls and splays her arms as the camera zooms out to focus on a grand mansion, more Hollywood glamor than anything belonging in Tokyo.

"Summer has come to Tokyo, and so has the season's specialty: The Trial of Courage! Step right up, and charge right in because waiting won't help you at all! Here is a place even angels fear to tread! Azzy's very own, The House of Mirth and Betrayal! This place has a sordid past that casts a shadow as long as the valley of death, and soon our Idols will be adding their own pages to the tale!"

The elevator stops atop the central tower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building and then lurches unpleasantly, wrenching itself out of where elevators ought to go. The sudden movement jolts you, and when the doors open you spill out into into a room.

Hopefully, with not too much time missing. ]

idolpro

Who: You!
Where: Onsen! And the journey there or back
When: Day 21, morning

[ The new location is a little far away - it looks like the onsen was voted in, but the location? All the way across the Rainbow Bridge, so roughly a 3 hour walk away from home. That's a ways away, so make sure to bring something to eat because that's another three hours back later! Are you really going to trust the producers to give you free food at the onsen?

It's a long walk. How does that journey go? Don't get lost and tack on even more time! Sure would be nice to have a subway system right about now. . .

But okay, if you venture forth eventually you'll get there and this place is nice. Go exchange out your outfit for a rental yukata, soak in the baths after you got all sweaty walking here, try out the massage chairs, simmer in the sauna, play carnival games, whatever your heart desires! This place is not nearly as shitty as that crummy hospital they gave you. ]

Who: everyone!
When: day 17, morning
What: GAME TIME

[ today, when the GAMESHOW notification goes off and the phone maps lead you to the game tower, the debris is still everywhere, the lobby is empty, and the elevators are unlabeled. The rules don't appear on your screens until after everyone has filed in, the doors have shut behind you, and the elevators have started up and risen at least a few stories.

your phones light up with instructions at the same time as the elevators all shudder to a stop, and a sharp hissing noise starts up as thin blasts of air enter from the walls and fills the room with a horrible, horrible smell. like straight up sewer rank awful. Luckily you won't have to deal with it for long, since you pass out so fast you won't even remember hitting the ground.

You wake up on the floor of a room with the rest of your unit. Mukuro's face isn't on any screens, but the first thing you might process as you regain consciousness is his boyish voice filling the air, shifting from calmly informative to as energetic as ever. ]

… courtesy of danna's abilities, we have much more exacting control over a much broader range of possibilities. Ah, and the stars of our show have just begun to stir!

Then, let's go over the rules of today's event once more!

[ and then he does show up, waist-up on the large tv-sized screen on the wall, smiling brightly beside a diagram demonstrating different possible outcomes - labeled with T's and B's and X's over "losing" stick figures. ]

Prisoner's dilemma! The max-tension psychological classic, with a secret agent feel~

This one is all about trust and betrayal. Originally, two people would be interrogated separately for information, and told that they would be spared if they turned on their partner. But if both of them kept their mouths shut, then their captors would have less over them and they both could be saved. While if they both betrayed one another, then they would both be punished! For either of them to win, at least one of them would have to take the risk and decide to "trust"~

Today's game is a three-person variant, or rather, a three-unit variant! This means that instead of just one other person, our idols will have to carefully consider the thinking of two whole other groups of people in their decision-making! But like the standard "prisoner's dilemma," only one person each is placed at risk ☆ Just like a sacrifice!

[ briefly, the display switches to images of flower arrangements ]

Additionally, since the idols haven't been told who their partners are, we've provided them with a small means of communication - courtesy of this goryou - for them to find some way to identify themselves, earn the other units' "trust," and get a read on what kinds of people now hold the fate of their unitmate in their hands!

[ and back to Mukuro, a bust shot with the diagram gone now ]

The results this time will be a little more complicated than the original "win/lose" scenario. In this case, even trusting each other won't get a good result. Betraying each other is worse, but only betraying someone who trusts you will save your sacrifice and bring your unit victory~! That's why it's important to convince the other units to "trust" no matter what!

And trusting someone who ends up betraying you - well, wouldn't that be just horrible?

Leeet's go! ♥

Who: Sad Cultists and You!
When: Day 15, in the dark of the night
What: H A I L

[ Guess who's back up on their soapbox! That's right, it's your favourite edgelords!

Except this time, it's a lot more elaborate. Instead of random furniture from their dorm, they've set up a full stage right outside of the hotel, a dark gloomy affair covered in pentacles and crescent moons. On the floor of the stage is a bunch of skulls, and the whole thing is backlit with red light, which looks impressive with the thick fog covering the whole thing.

Little✩Red stands at the front of the stage, her hat pulled down over her eyes. ]

Ah...horrible news. Horrible, horrible news! The darkest of dark lords, our dear Satan has left us! We still have God's light, but without the darkness for it to shine through, what good does that do us! She is left incomplete, and so are all of us! Why? Why would he do this? Were we not good enough? Did he hate us? Were we not --

[ She shudders for a second, casting her gaze downwards and taking a deep breath. It's a bit before she looks back up, but when she does her normal smile is back on her face, her hat tilted back upwards. ]

Well! It doesn't matter! Things like this, they're expected, aren't they? And even if he isn't here, his darkness still casts the shadow you can see even now! And so long as She breathes (which She always will), God's light shall shine through it to illuminate our path! We, Her faithful, will march ever forward and spread his darkness even when Satan himself is nowhere to be found! Starting with this city, and each and every single person in it! Isn't it wonderful? Aren't you happy? You should be! This is how the world should be!

...

But if you're still scared, then always remember...God is here for you. If you don't know how to cope with reality, please feel free to ask Her for advice. She is perfect at everything, including counseling and therapy. Remember, both our fellow idols and our dear fans, to send her loving notes of praise and affirmation in return♪
