Who: Beautiful dreamers
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 271, morning

[When you wake, the folding chairs and divans from before have all been cleared away. You're lying asleep on the floor, healed of all injury.]

[You remember the events of the worlds you've visited as though visions seen in a dream -- though for those of you torn from your perfect existence, there is an ache inside you which will not fade for some days... the pain of something precious that has been lost.]

[Out beyond the windows of the tower, the sky is no longer a perfect blue; the vegetation is no longer as lush and inviting.]

[The view is of Tokyo-F, exactly as it's always been.]

[Near the far wall, there is an open book on a pedestal. The pages are empty. It is titled GUEST BOOK, and a pen waits nearby.]

Who: Intrepid explorers come home
Where: Hotel
When: Day 270

[ Some lucky (or unlucky) few of you have been gone for a couple of days—but finally, you're back, awakening in your own rooms.

Goodness, how long has it been? Surely not that long, right?

You'll find that you're missing anything that you had picked up in either of the Hells, although you do manage to keep your phones. If you were injured at all, you'll find that those injuries are gone, miraculously(?).

But perhaps most startlingly, you won't have any memory of what happened to you except that you fell through the portal, at least upon waking up. As the day goes on you'll find your memories trickling back in, and then you'll have more to explain to your unitmates and loved ones once you gain everything back.

That's weird and totally not something someone did or anything. Probably just a byproduct of going through weird portals. Don't go through weird portals, kids. ]

[ Elevator doors open up in the walls of all your rooms, and you are released back into the wild! Eichi can still walk I'm sure he can get in the elevator just fine,

When you step back into the lobby, you'll find Leyli by the exit, sitting cross-legged on a floor cushion hovering in midair and applauding with a smile. Loki is nowhere to be seen. ]

Well done! You all came much closer than I thought! Only a few of you were especially misfortunate, hm?

[ with that, before anyone else can get a word in, an ink-like blackness envelopes her, and she vanishes.

WINNERS: LiliS, future is now, Heart Soldier Senshi, avante en garde, BARiTONES. BARiTONES also wins the captive category and gets 1000 points instead of 800.

a few minutes after Leyli vanishes, the winning captives are cured of all effects and harm! congrats! (you may keep scars if you want but they're very optional.) ]

Who: Princesses & Cowherds & Imps
Where: Various parts of the city
When: Day 261 (forward dated slightly)

[ Good morning, idols! It's. . . it's morning, right?

Even though your clocks are correct and it is the AM, the sun isn't out in the sky yet. More than that, the stars are shining ever so brilliantly today—you can see the entire Milky Way system here, in fact so clearly that it feels like you could reach out and touch them.

No—depending on how early in the morning it is, you might have been able to see how brilliantly the Milky Way system glistened and shined, but now the sky is covered with roiling dark clouds once more, threatening rain.

Step through any given doorway outside of the dorms—the elevators for example, or the lobby doors - and you might find your clothes mildly transformed: the style and colors are still the same, but white constellations and stars glitter the fabrics, twinkling like the night sky. (If you're wearing white, the stars have a black outline, still twinkling against your clothes.)

This will likely persist throughout the day, although depending on the doorways you go through the constellations may change. (When the clock strikes midnight, the constellations will no longer move or twinkle, though it's player choice if they want to keep the clothes transformed to have unmoving stars.)


Outside, you'll find a lit-up pathway to Shinjuku Gyoen from . . . anywhere you are, honestly; the pavement seems to recreate the sky to make a river of stars that run down to the park and to the rest of the city, as though to make up for the dark skies above. At the park, you'll find a wooden platform lined with white cloth just outside the park, as well as a few fold-up chairs and cloth-lined group tables. It looks like they were full of food once, but alas—imps have ravaged it, throwing food all around and lacing it with potions and glitter, and generally making a mess of things.

Lining this side's edge of the park are tall stalks of bamboo, with a wooden plaque hanging from one of the stalks. It has this written on it:
Long, long ago, the Sky King's daughter began to weave him a beautiful cloth. He loved it so much that the Weaving Princess would work diligently every day in order to please him - but her weaving left her in solitude, alone and loveless. Seeing this, the Sky King arranged for her to marry the celestial Cowherd. The Weaving Princess and the Cowherd fell in love, happily spending their days together ☆

However, in their love was tragedy. The two were so enamored with one another that they forgot their duties - the Cowherd his heavenly cows, and the Princess her weave. Displeased by this, the Sky King separated the two across the heavenly river - but at the behest of his daughter, he promised that the two could meet each other once every year should she finish her work.

And so, we celebrate Tanabata, for the two's reunion. When we celebrate the day when the two lovers can meet once more, we also ask to be granted a single wish! Write your wish on a paper tag and tie it to the bamboo tree; it very well may be granted to you.

The paper tags that used to be neatly placed in front of the bamboo have been torn up, scattered all around. There are several inkwells on the ground—that is, the cement seems to be dug into in order to fill with ink—but the ink seems to also have spilled everywhere as well, glittery messes all around. There are bamboo stalks to use as disposable brushes, mmmmaybe? Maybe not? You might have to hit up a Taisho, actually.

The first tag is already on the bamboo, but it's ripped to pieces. Only one word is readable, still hanging from the bamboo: HELP . . .

. . . Well, that's ominous.



At the café, the decorations inside have been replaced with Tanabata-themed items: bamboo stalks, star wallpaper and flooring, and black-and-white spotting on the seats and tables like they're for cows. For today only, the outer walls have fencing as decoration too, as if the café is a cowpen. The shopping mall and OIOI have decorative star merchandise, and today if you purchase any clothes from the department store, they'll be covered in galaxy stars that stay animated even after midnight's passed. But if you want to get anything, you'll have to brave the imps taking refuge . . .



There are various vending machines to be found today only, both in the arcades and just around: 50 points for a broach or lapel or hairpin themed Tanabata, taking form of one thing or another: a little cow face, a constellation, weaving instruments, kimono, or other things. You know, just stay in theme. There's no option to select anything, just a little scanner where you can beep your phone and you'll get something random out of it. In other words, it's a gacha. Also, there might be an imp hiding behind the vending machine, just waiting for you to be distracted so it can throw a glitter bomb at you.



Nothing to be heard from the Producers today, it seems. Ordinarily, the quiet would be nice, but—with the imps making a mess everywhere . . .

It's a little disturbing, isn't it. . . ? ]

Who: Who indeed?
Where: Where indeed?
When: When—Day 259

[ Today's rainy day may be a respite from the summer's heat, but the clouds that herald the weather are darker than one might expect—pitch-black and foreboding, they seem to be bringing in more than just rain. . .

Incidentally, whether you decide to spend today inside or enjoy the rain outside, you might see a brightly colored something hopping around. Does it have four legs? Two? Is it a stray cat, perhaps? Whatever it is, it's laughing at you.

It darts around the periphery of your vision as though to taunt you, fast-moving blurs of glaring color, before suddenly coming into view—along with something recognizable. The creature itself could be anything: humanoid or animal-like, with devil wings or forked tails, but that might not be important to you, because right now it's holding something important to you. It isn't necessarily the most important thing to you, but it does carry some sort of emotional significance or necessity—or maybe just something you were about to use or that meal you were just about to eat—and if it's not a something that it's carrying, then maybe it's a someone. Hey, what the fuck?

Before you can really react, the creature snickers and scampers away with your belongings, running into the rain. . . but not without dropping a little bomb, similar to what an AlcheME!'s smokebomb might look like. In an instant, it sets off, leaving you covered in glitter and with a new (relatively harmless) change—purple hair, animal ears, tiny helium balloon voice, or anything else to the tune of an AlcheME! potion's status effect. Just like an AlcheME! potion, the effect will wear off anywhere from 10 minutes from now to a week from now, but are you going to take this lying down? That thing just took your shit and prank bombed you!

If you do end up chasing after it, you'll find a growing stack of Precious Belongings™ in the park, which has now been transformed into a mud moat and maze. Various effect bombs have been planted in the area as traps, just waiting for you to set them off.

If you don't end up chasing after it (or, hell, even if you do) you'll see another creature—certainly not the same one although looking very similar to the first one you saw—attempting to do the same thing, either to you or someone else, or maybe attempting to sneak into your dorm so it can rifle through your stuff.

Attempting to catch the creature is a crapshoot, but if you manage to do it—whether with your hands or with a net or you know, just killing it—the creature explodes into a puff of dark smoke before dispersing, maybe even dropping something else along the way. Before you know it though, there'll be another one trying to prank you . . .

What's going on? Who turned AlcheME! into actual goblins?? If that's not AlcheME!, then what the fuck is happening??? Who's responsible for this???? And, most importantly, how do you fix it????? ]

[ It's only been ten days since the last fanmail, and yet—here we are, with the doors barricaded by boxes upon boxes upon boxes. You'll have to move them all out of the way before you can leave, or enter, but then again, it's from your beautiful fans! So maybe you want to look through them first ♥

[ he's not going to put so much effort in this that he'll bother getting a proper set up, so he's literally just sitting on one of the couches when he hits the live button ]

Good afternoon, Tokyo-F. I have noticed an increasing number of people lately have been addressing me as Five. I'm aware I've previously mentioned I didn't care whether you used Valour or Five. This has changed. Unless you're Taisho or Baritones, or otherwise have received my permission to do that, I forbid you to address me as Five. Consider this an order.

If you're not certain whether you have permission or not, you're free to inquiry about it. If you don't care you're free to pretend you're very concerned about it so you can get your points.

Where: Game Tower ❤
When: Day 253 ❤ Morning for Never Have I Ever ❤ Early Evening for Truth or Dare or Drink ❤

[ When you're summoned to the Game Tower today you'll find yourself transformed—no, not like, bodily, silly! But your clothes are poofed into unit-themed pajamas, which are both comfy and also super fitting for the game field you're on now: the room is, from wall to wall, covered in cutesy stuffed animals and pillows and stuffed animal pillows, with tables that have your idol name on them, as well as a massive gigantuous princess bed with a bunch of blankets.

There is one TV screen, where a young woman appears wearing a cutesy nightgown. She brightens, holding up a stuffed teddy bear. ]

I'm booooored! And NafunAI is weird now that she's rebooted again—stupid bitch, she deserved that one—so let's play some games!

When you think about drinking games, there are two that you think of, right? I couldn't make up my mind on which one to play so let's do both ❤ Don't worry, it'll be our ❤ secret!

[ NOTE: There is a time gap between Never Have I Ever and Truth or Dare or Drink—you can assume your character was either sent back home and then resummoned later for Truth or Dare, or you can assume they're still in the Game Tower. The rest of this post can be used as a sleepover mingle—bring your own toplevels! ]

[ Why: Fanmail, of course! Of which there are, as always, many. A lot of juicy stuff, too—well, you idols have all been busy little bees, after all ☆

The fanmail is as always available all day today, although you'll likely have to move the boxes out of the way of the door to leave the hotel. Or if you were outside of the hotel, you'll have to wait for someone to move the boxes so you can enter the hotel.

Thank you for participating! We hope that everyone enjoys the new season!

Winners for this game are LiliS, SensitIV, Taisho Roman Revolution, and Heart Soldier Senshi! avante en garde won Audience Choice for "everything", and BARiTONES did as well for "OMGGGGG PRECIOUS BABY WIFI WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW".


[ A moment after the announcement everyone will find themselves back as their ordinary selves - while they remember clearly any other age they found themselves at, it's fairly hard to actually focus on the details of any future selves that happened to exist. Besides the fact that you apparently do have a future. ]
