Who: You and a lot of potatoes
Where: The Game Tower!
When: Day 343, mid-morning

[ Lantana, as usual, closes her book, and now her holographic presence is actually in the center of the room; the rope dividers disappear and you are free to move about the game tower.

Also, any potatoes your unit has in their possession explode into showers of confetti! Exciting! ]

Congratulations to BAD END=DEAD END, sensitIV, LiliS and future is now, the victors of our game today. It seems like you enjoyed yourselves. ...well, I hope AlcheME is enjoying themselves.

I'll see you next time.

[ if someone ATE A POTATO, only the people who ate that potato get that status effect. e.g. if Cardinal Chases Dawn Avanteengarde ate the vampirism potato, they are the only one who gets the vampire status effect. for you potato-eaters, if you want the effect to last longer or be permanent, knock yourselves out.

otherwise, the status effect for each potato left in your unit's possession at the end of the game will apply to at least one person (more if you want)! these status effects will last from 1-3 days. ]

Where: The Game Tower!
When: Day 343, bright and early!

[ When you arrive at the Game Tower, you're automatically dropped into a roped-off section for your unit, marked by color! You also find yourself with a basket of... potatoes?

...Fun potatoes. They're exciting colors and they're all labeled with things like "Animal Ears," "Helium Voice," "Can't Swear," "Compelled Obedience" and "Vampirism."

As usual Lantana brought a book and looks distinctly more serious than this game seems to warrant. ]

I suppose you could call this a game of catharsis.

...or if you must call it by its traditional name, "hot potato."

[ What?? Is it. . . fanmail time already????

It is! So there are many boxes scattered around, less like they're blocking the entrances and more like they're just blocking your walking path in general. Don't trip, there's a box! Look out, it's a box! What's in the sky!? . . . I dunno, that's not a box!? ]

Producers: It's starting to warm up, so let's warm things up!
Producers: Out with the old, in with the new! Novel and Romance are over, now it's ✨✨✨RECIPROCATION✨✨✨ and ✨✨✨DRESS-UP✨✨✨for you!
Producers: Did you get something nice? Pay it back, you fucking fucker!
Producers: Did you get something mean? Get thy vengeance sevenfold!
Producers: Oh, and make sure you look nice when you do it!
Producers: You won't get the extra points though ☆(・ω<)


[ OOC NOTE: WE'RE GONNA TRY SOMETHING NEW!

In the interest of making it easier to hide/separate NSFW content, we're asking players to put their NSFW fanmail reactions under a "cut". How does that work? Here's an example!

We've got a poll up on Discord about it; if it's too much effort or if there's something about it you super don't like, you don't have to do it, but for the sake of player comfort and happiness, if it's not too big of an ask, we'd like everyone's cooperation in trying this out. Thank you! ]

Who: pep!pep!
Where: Lake Okutama
When: ??? To be inserted into the timeline later

[On this brisk winter morning, pep has loaded up the van with camping supplies and gotten themselves away from metro Tokyo-F. With Cobalt behind the wheel, they drive an hour into the forested mountains outside the city until they get to a campsite by Lake Okutama.]

[Here, approximately 35 miles from the nearest person, the campsite’s picnic area and outbuildings are empty and fake, and the grounds and surrounding trees tranquil and dusted with snow. Luckily, the skies are clear, even if the temperature is low. But that’s what Thermo Dynamic is for.]

[Food-filled coolers are unloaded, a propane stove set up, and TP delivered to the outhouses. Gladio sets down an armful of camp chairs by the firepit and picks up a mallet and some plastic stakes]

Come on guys, those tents aren’t pitching themselves.

Welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone! This program is pleased to announce its next assignment: Good Cause Simulator 20XX™: An Imepro® Drama!



[ IT'S GAME TIME! Once it is again time to deal with a certain holographic fairy darting around everyone's heads at stupidly high speeds while giggling like a fucking moron and making General Annoying Moth Noises, somehow, despite the fact that it is a hologram and also has wings that are decidedly not moth wings.

NafunAI does stop for a second, hovering high above everyone to blow a kiss directly in the general direction of the cameras. ]

Tonight, the idols will compete to see who’s able to make the best decisions under the worst circumstances! "But NafunAI," you might say, “isn’t that every game? Literally isn’t that the entire premise of this show?”

Well, well, well! To that, this program says...!

...

...

Ummmm...

. . .

Actually, that's completely right, that's completely right! It’s actually really stupiiiiiid! Yaaaaaay! ☆

[ And then she stops and looks around like she’s expecting something to happen to her. ]

This program got away with it this time…!

Anyway, you finally get to go into space! This program hopes you didn’t murder anyone to get here.

Welcome to the place where you can finally live your dreams! Caught in the middle of a galactic war, you and your family will have to eke out an honest living while avoiding all of the hazards of space, such as Space Hypothermia, Space Taxes, and Those Who Crave Hands - as well as the war itself! What will you do to protect yourself and your family? Will you try to save the entire galaxy from a horrible conflict, no matter the cost? Remember, whatever you have to do - it was for a good cause!

And remember, remember, remember! Whatever happens happens because of you!

[ And then everything fades out...

and you're now in the sleek, sterilized cafeteria of a space station. There are vending machines for food. It is all school cafeteria food.

And randomized. ]

There's even a hot tub in the corner, but more importantly there seems to be 12 doors, one for each team. There's dance music playing as always.]

Man, guys, MAN OH MAN!! Yo, yo, yo, guess what? You're probably thinking oh, Left is gonna say "wow I got promoted" and you know what?

Who: Sleepyheads
Where: Honmachi Sakura Park
When: Day 326

[ After a long, long, long night, you wake in the dead zone, having slept more deeply than you've ever slept before.

Perhaps more restfully than you've ever slept before, even—do you remember your dreams? Is it all coming back to you, now?

For certain dreamers, the flower markings have disappeared, though if you wake early enough you can catch them glowing bright before burning away painlessly. With that, it feels as though maybe a weight's been lifted off your shoulders—maybe you really needed that sleep.

For certain dreamers, you may find yourself waking up with something new—was that always in your hands? Where did you get that from? Do you remember?

And, for a certain few unlucky dreamers, you may find yourself waking with pain, wounds or scars that remind you that what happened last night was not entirely a dream.

But then, who could ever believe it was a dream anyway?

The sun shines bright; Heaven's chain shines brighter. In the distance, white clouds roll toward the city, threatening rain.

-

Please note: Characters may not fully remember their romps in other characters' hearts immediately. This is so that if you're still backthreading hearts, you can have your character not remember what happened or otherwise not be affected by the changes in the run until later.

Heart Game channels will be up until mid-February, although they may close sooner/later at runner request. If you're finished with your run and don't want any more pings, just remove the role and it'll be gone from your sidebar ✨ ]

Where: The game tower
When: Day 323 morning

[When you arrive in the game tower today, it's fairly understated. There are comfortable chairs gathered around, and a few tables with popcorn and other snacks. There's no host present, and instead a new app pops up on your phone, showing an overview of the game:
Welcome! This game is essentially an anonymous questionnaire, with questions provided by YOU, the players.

Gameplay works as follows:

1) Someone poses a YES/NO question.
2) Everyone present guesses whether the majority of answers will be YES or NO..
3) Everyone anonymously submits their answer of YES or NO.
4) Marvel at how wrong or right you were and speculate on who answered which way, but you're forbidden from saying outright how you answered the question.

Wins at the end will be awarded for most interesting question and question with most surprising answers (voted on by player submissions) as well as most correct guesses.

When: Day 320, early afternoon

[People who tune in to this Live notification or people passing through the lobby today will notice that all the tables and chairs from the sitting area and kitchen have been arranged into groups or circles for people to sit at, and each table has supplies on it, like dry-erase tent cards or stacks of poster board and markers for making signs. There are also 'Hi My Name Is ___' name tags in case people feel like making introductions easier. Pink is seated on a couch with Izanagi, waving at the camera.]

Hey fellow idols--unwilling and willing!--it's been an unnervingly quiet chunka time, hasn't it? But the Christmas episodes have come 'n gone and probably a new year started at some point or another! So let's do a recap episode, or what I'm gonna call the Annual Support Group Live. Basically, I've got a simple survey question for ya: what support group could ya start? What sorts of people do ya feel empathy for 'cause ya've been through the same shit? Or what other crazy thing is more common than ya might expect? Ta answer: shout it out! or better yet, make a sign!

[Gestures to the stacks of supplies and name tags.]


There's all kinds of things people might be going through, right? This is a great opportunity to find others like you! Like, "I'm from a world without all this newfangled technology and it confuses me!" or "My world doesn't have magic at all, but everyone else has super powers and it's not fair!" Our units are important, but finding people who have gone through similar experiences can really help - it's just good self-care to make sure you have someone to talk to about your problems after all!


So come one come all! We'll be making noise down in the kitchen 'n sitting area off the lobby! There might even be spillover in the laundry room, who knows. Other units are welcome ta contribute! After all, for Lilis it's a great opportunity ta explore your feelings, and Taisho knows confession has been ritualized for centuries! I'm sure everybody's got plenty ta add ta this Mega-Live! Let's all get some bonding in while stuff's still chill!


((ooc: Top-level to start a "support group" and put the name in the subject line! They do not have to be serious! This is mainly a self-running live though hosts and cohosts may be around, so feel free to go wild jumping threads. Also, making multiple support groups is legit! Please check out the CO-HOSTS TOP-LEVEL if you want to help make this a Megalive or just for additional Live elements you can reference while threading!

Hosts and Counter-live Hosts: row 1
Unitmates of Hosts or Counter-live Hosts: row 2

You're then escorted to the next room: a bar, or maybe a fancy restaurant, though there's nothing available here to eat. Instead, on the four tables before you, there are shot glasses already filled with liqueur, arranged by color like a rainbow. There are also cards, with a QR code on each card.

Each table has your unit's name, so you know exactly where to go. ]

Who: All You Merry People
Where: Game Tower (and BEYOND)
When: Day 312 evening into Day 313 morning

[As you enter the game tower, you're met with a beautifully-lit pathway. You can hear the faint notes of The Hymn of the Damned Queen of Yuletide, etc. etc, but at least it's at the right tempo this time. The pathway leads to a stage with two familiar faces standing under the spotlight. As soon as you enter, dozens of lights burst on, and as you glance up, you see it... mistletoe.

Along with that most festive of parasitic plants, you now get a closer look at the decorations, which, while beautiful and elegant, are also a little... strange and off-putting. Especially this one. There is a wardrobe next to the stage labeled "FESTIVE CLOTHING", and if you are so inclined, will provide you with some holiday cheer. If you decide to leave the game tower, you'll find that the mistletoe extends far beyond into Tokyo-F, hanging from every available nook and cranny for the duration of the game. There's no compulsion to do anything if you're near it--it's just in everything. Which also means the game is not just confined to the tower. That's right: nowhere but your dorm rooms are safe from the festivities.

The rest of the decorations seem fairly standard for a festive party game: there's drinks, there's food, and there's even a karaoke setup onstage. There's also a large display of candy canes in a variety of colors...

Before you can do anything, however, your hosts speak up.]

"Hmhmhmhm...! So, we meet again. Perhaps you were not expecting such faces to welcome you, but regardless, here we are--to welcome you, our friends. The time has come... for the traditional game of kissing and mischief! Be not alarmed: this game will surely be the most exquisite and elegant one thus far."

"Fu fu fu... yes, welcome to the amazing, splendorous world of love we have created for all of you to partake in, as if you could feel the apricity from our hearts...!"


[Yes, this is happening. I'm so sorry. Also Yasuragi is hanging out by the drinks, like ya do.]

[ Not only is it particularly cold out today, but the hotel lobby speakers are playing The Hymn of the Damned Queen of Yuletide, Who's Name Has Not Been Uttered In These Halls For Aeons. On loop. Every time it finishes, it gets faster. And then slows down. Repeating. Ceaseless. Neverending. You are stuck in Tokyo-F on Celebration Night and for the next twenty four hours, all Winterfest Spirit™ crimes are not only legal - they are unskippable. The witch can be placated in only one way: you must make her wish come true. Is that a price you're willing to pay, idols?

ANYWAY

Look! You have gifts! Gifts from your cherished fans!
Isn't that great?

As per usual the boxes are covering up the entrance/exit of the hotel, trapping you in (or keeping you out if you were outside the night before). You'll have to get through the boxes to get where you want to go.

There's snow all over the lobby floor, but it's all fake. ]

Now that we've got your attention!!! Annyeong~ idols of Tokyo-F, this is Imperator Furiosa, aka the senshi formerly known as Meka, coming at'cha live from the Cooliseum with a super special awesome event that I think you're going to abso-fucken-lutely love. It's called Splatfest and the rules are simple and as follows: pick a team, pick a partner, grab a bike, and grab a gun*. [ she clears her throat. ] A paintball gun, that is ♥. [ chuckles. ] And then all you do from there is try to shoot members of the opposing team to get them out. Fun? Fun!

[ she immediately starts pacing a bit. ] And, sure, you could totes continue watching from the comfort of your couch or, IDK, wherever the heck you are, but this [ d.va stops all of a sudden, stomps her foot, and then makes a motion all around her. ] is where the action is and I want you [ dramatic gyakuten saiban style point. ] to be a part of it─! so c'mon down with a bike and join us for a hella good time.


[ Hurricane hooks a thumb out toward the bleachers, where a snack table has been set up.] And hey, even if motorcycles ain't your thing, we got loads of snacks and a whole bunch of bleachers, so come on out and popcorn.gif in person.

[ Izanagi waves from the side, holding up a first aid kit. ]

I’ll be on the scene, so don’t worry about any scrapes or bruises ♪ Let’s all do some self care by cutting loose and having some fun!


[Lily is here, dressed much differently today, her voice a noble drawl] Today promises to be a most marvelous performance and I, Excella Ignition, intend to deliver. So, without further ado…--.

[ There is another thundering boom - this one accompanied by an explosion of pink and turquoise paint. The source is (was) a beat up car that’s now thoroughly and completely destroyed, courtesy of Serenity who shouts-- ]

Let the games begin~


( This is a Heart Soldier Senshi, sensitIV, Bad End=Dead End, Future is Now, and BARiTONES Live. 1050 for hosts, 900 for members of the live units, and 750 for all of the other units… I think. )

( ANYWAY to join a team go to #dicebot and .flip - heads for Pink Axolotls and tails for Turquoise Narwhals! If you’d like to play along to the rule of fun, then have at it, buuuut if you’re interested in leaving it all to chance, then .roll 1d6 for a hit/miss… with 1-3 being a miss & 4-6 being a hit.

Congratulations to sensitIV, pep!pep!, Taisho Roman Revolution, Heart Soldier Senshi, AlcheME! and avante en garde for completing their objectives! Your nations find themselves much stronger and well-to-do—and in one case with way less of a zombie apocalypse going on.

And furthermore, congratulations to future is now, for being beautifully wed, BAD END=DEAD END for working hard to forge alliances, and BARiTONES, for a tragic tale and a moment of levity regarding the humaneness of living drills.

With this, our time begins to come to a close—although I think Ruby will understand if I stick around a little longer to chat.
