Who: Everyone
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Dawn of the Second Day

[ And after the dust settles...

Though everyone was presumably wandering about and around Heaven and Hell after Tokyo-F's deletion, every ex-idol (even the renegades!) has been given an invitation to return to the newly restored city, which looks exactly as they left it - minus a giant tree, or, really, any evidence that anything heavenly happened around here. Also...everyone now has UNLIMITED POINTS? You could buy back all your memories right now if you wanted. They don't even play on screens anymore (unless you hit the PLAY ON SCREEN checkbox. sometimes it just checks itself. be careful!).

At broadcast time, The Red Sea Witch appears on every screen in the city, giving an address: ]

Hello, everyone! ☆

As some of you may have heard, Imeeji Productions has been renewed for one last season! A one-episode special, due to ongoing legal issues thanks to our friends in...oh, what was it now? "Heaven"? Gyehehehe☆

As usual, our anniversary is going to be relatively bloodless - a nice relaxing time for our treasured idols! Soon to be ex-idols, living comfy and happy retired lives - once all the paperwork is processed! There's no stamp rally this time around, though. Too much paperwork to get through to get that approved. It's just...a few relaxing days in the city, before they all go to where they want to be.

Thank you, fans, for your support! None of this could have been possible without you ☆ And I'm sure our idols are just as happy as I am! Make sure to send plenty of fanmail, this is your last chance! I'd send plenty of my own to ☆ZRAEL but somebody blamed me for a "hacking all of the systems" even though I barely even know how to use a cellphone! Ehehehe, I'll show them. You hear me, Intensity? I'm going to find you and kill you right in front of Angel and I don't care how much Man☆Eater l -

[ ahem ]

Anyway! This is the Red Sea Witch signing off. Thank you all for watching all this time, and we hope you enjoy Generation 6! Let's end this show with a ☆!

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?

Who: All Hell Graduates and Fugitives!
Where: Vengeance Hell and Liar Hell
When: Dawn of the Final Day

Hello, Employees of Vengeance Hell! You have all been called to a conference in the Imeeji Productions Main Office.

At the center of the room is Asmodeus' recently promoted secretary, adjusting her glasses and holding a stack of papers.

"Alright. I'm sure by now you've all noticed that there is a lot going on. Asmodeus is returning to the office…soon, once everything has blown over. In the meantime, we have a lot of mismanagement to deal with here. Fanmail isn't getting delivered, we're showing nothing but reruns, problems with Tokyo-F's infrastructure have been getting worse and worse, merchandise sales are at an all time low despite the increased enthusiasm after our last handshake event - Now, not all of you are working with Imeeji Productions, but those of you who aren't are graduates of that program. So, it might interest you to know that there's been a group of…renegades, shall we say, trying to snatch the final victory over Pythia from our hands. Now, I'm sure nobody here has anything to do with that…"

She glares.

"But it would be helpful for both us and you if you were to take an active role in dealing with this problem. The unrest amongst the 'fandom' is getting worse by the day, and this morning we seem to have lost contact with Tokyo-F and Tokyo-D. Some of you are going to have to go investigate the latter. I don't think I have to tell you how bad it'll be for your careers if Pythia manages to make a comeback at this juncture. Or, if you still care about your friends in Tokyo-F, how bad an unexpected dissolution of the production will be for them. Mortals don't do well with the Belial's people, you know.

Of course, I'm not Asmodeus. My job is making sure that the trains run on time, that the post arrives when it should, and that everything is nice and clean when he returns. I don't care how you deal with those escapees, or the Damned that are making trouble. I just care that you do it, and get people believing in truth, justice, and the Vengeance way again.

Remember, Asmodeus and Pythia's little fight, the deal with Belial, the resurgence of Heaven - it could've been quiet, but thanks to certain individuals it's very much not, and all of these things have put a really, really important eye on our production. The most important eye in Hell. Needless to say, a visit from Lucifer is a worst case scenario, even worse than losing to Pythia and the Liars.

If you have any questions, I'll be on the top floor raiding Asmodeus' liquor cabinet before getting back to work. Dismissed."

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 530

[ If you were finally getting used to the city's strangeness, brace yourselves—the glitching of buildings and environment this afternoon has turned up to eleven, whole swathes of city just . . . disappearing, like it's still rendering. 3-D geometric shapes, as though the textures were left off—before returning to "normal", except without any color. This continues to course through the entire city—and if you're caught in it, you'll find color escaping you as well, and your consciousness fades . . .

Luckier or more alert idols can witness these idols disappearing, flickering out of existence. There's no time to worry or panic about them though, because the de-rendering is coming for them, too.

The last safe haven is the Dead Zone, which seems to be completely untouched by the glitching and the color removal for the most part—however, the ground where the chain is anchored has broken apart, and underneath the chunks of rock and gravel and grass and dirt is . . . only a void. At least the broken pieces are stable and weight-bearing, floating in place for those who brave standing on them. Should something be dropped into the void, however, it will go completely missing, including idols and living creatures—and although idols can't confirm this without trying it out themselves, they have a sinking feeling that anything that falls through the void here will not revive or return. ]

UH OH | WAKE UP | TOKYO-F RETURNS | OOC POST

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When: ~~All at Once~~ Night 526 to Morning 527

[ At the darkest hour, those who are awake will see their shadows growing longer and longer under the city lights. They stretch and stretch—and even climb up the lamps, up the sky, to eclipse the moon itself. It isn't completely dark—it's like the current light's been lampshaded—but just for a brief, brief moment,

The whole world is grey.

—and then the color returns, but not all entirely in ways that you recall them being. The sky is at points purple or green, the grass is red and glittering, the buildings seem to be made entirely of glass at times and entirely of wood at other times. Each shift in your vision accompanies a visual "glitch", like pixelated television noise, and it's horrible for the eyes and head.

It's not just the city that's unstable, either; idols will find that their own colors are mixing, swapping, glitching—sometimes it's not just the colors but entire articles of clothing, as though quickchanging in a character creation screen—to one outfit or another. Sometimes it feels like there's an internal change too—like your guts are swapping out . . . or like your heart isn't yours . . . is that your neck, or someone else's?

Another oddity: the shadows are gone, even now in the middle of the night. Occasionally they flicker back—when the building or grass is "correct", what it used to be—but they aren't there for long, and disappear once more. Your own shadow though, and the shadow of other people? Completely gone, even when you feel "correct" again.

If you're looking for any clues on what's happening, who the culprit is, you might be able to catch a glimpse of dancing shadows on the ground, whisperlaughing at each other and running away as soon as they're seen by any idol. At the crack of dawn, one shadow holds up what looks to be the shape of a cylinder—shakes it—and then "sprays" shadow paint onto a nearby wall.

#SAYOGLITTERNARA

As the sun rises, those dancing, laughing shadows disappear—only the "paint" on the walls remain—and you idols are left to deal with the rest of this chaos. . . ]

OOC EVENT INFO | IN THE LOBBY

Who: Nemesis, Hurricane, you!
Where: ?Somewhere?
When: Day 496

[ The sound of an engine roars through the city, unfamiliar to any of you. What is that—? That thing, flying in the sky—Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Or—

Is it a giant mech adorned with naginatas and a shield, flying through Tokyo-F at great speed? Is it Hurricane and Nemesis, coming to say their goodbyes? Or is it the sound of their departure. . . ? ]

Who: W, Tea, various idols, and !A SPECIAL GUEST!
Where: Yoyogi Park
When: Day 492, morning

[ Out in an open part of Yoyogi Park, between a set of unassuming picnic tables, is a jungle gym.

Obviously there's something going on, because that wasn't there before and now the tables are set up with checkered tablecloths with various kinds of tea and fruit water, teacakes, biscuits, scones, and finger sandwiches. It'd seem like a fairly light affair except there's like also buckets of fried chicken and plates of sushi and yakitori and pudding wraps and also cup noodles and potato chips and pasta salad and various fruits???

The tables are laden enough with food there's not really room to sit at them - so bean bags have been provided for seating. There's also...volleyball? There's just some sandpits with volleyball nets set up. As one approaches there's a quiet background noise coming from nowhere in particular (or maybe everywhere at once), ethereal and beautiful despite the fact that it's just a bit difficult to actually make sense of.

One might assume this is a graduation, and they'd be right - there's a banner that announces who it's for put up on poles! But the second anyone actually shows up to read it and see who's graduating, the background noise is overtaken by SICK BEATS as a WCDONALDS® CLOWN CAR DOES A SICK JUMP OFF A FRESHLY DEPLOYED PORTABLE WCRAMP™ (now available for only 300 MONIES at a store near you!) STRAIGHT THROUGH IT, SHREDDING IT TO TINY LITTLE BITS. All screens near Yoyogi Park and in the hotel lobby focus on the area, and there's commentary now over the speakers now? Something about "OH MY GOD IT COULDN'T BE!"

The car lands on the other side of the picnic, and out of it comes none other than Lonard WcDonard, 20-30 invisible clowns, and one lawyer.

One of the commentators gasps - "It is! I can't believe this!"

She adjusts her glasses, looking lazily at a set of documents in one hand. Her other holds an Imeeji Productions branded microphone that she's speaking into. ]

Mr. Extra-Crispy Family Value Meal (henceforth "W") and Ms. UNITED ♡ HEARTS (henceforth "Tea"). I am Saffron Sativus, Talent Support Services, Ltd., and today I am representing one Lonard WcDonard™ (henceforth "WcDonard"), tortured prisoner/CEO of WcDonalds®. WcDonard claims that W and Tea are guilty of corporate espionage, fraud, abuse of the Employee of the Month system to generate unlimited MONIES, property destruction, aggravated assault, burglary, and quote unquote being more popular than me. As such, WcDonard is now taking action to acquire a remedy in the form of -

[ Lonard snatches the microphone from Saffron - ]

ENDLESS HONKS AND ENDLESS BONKS! W, I WARNED YOU TO NEVER LEAVE THAT HOTEL AGAIN! BUT HERE YOU ARE! CELEBRATING! WELL, GUESS WHAT, W? PARTY'S OVER! I'VE BROKEN OUT OF THAT QUARANTINE COTTAGE THESE PATHETIC IDOLS SHOVED ME IN, AND I'LL TAKE BACK MY MARKET SHARE FROM YOU.

HEAR THAT, LOYAL CUSTOMERS? TODAY I'M INTRODUCING NEW ITEM ON THE WCDONALD'S® VALUE MENU - THE EXTRA-CRISPY WCCHICKEN (NOW WITH REAL CHICKEN)!

VS. LONARD | The Actual Graduation

Who: Everyone!
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 441

[ As the idols emerge from Tokyo-F, they'll find that the sun has risen another day. The CHRISTMAS WCNUGGER has been cleared out, and the landscape is no longer falling apart. Regular, gentle snow falls from the sky and it's a beautiful day.

The items accumulated in everyone's respective INVENTORIES fall to the ground, now that the weird escape room videogame laws are no longer in effect.

Despite several close calls, the city's been saved from the consequences of everyone's actions once again! And there's even new residents of Tokyo-F - a glance at the map will reveal that there is now a chain of Borger Kings, and a short note from NafunAI appears on everyone's phones. ]

This program is very, very, very sorry for losing its temper with you for your mistakes, and especially for insulting its coworkers and the production at large. Despite its words, the situation with the Belief Machine has been fixed, and quarantine protocols have been restored, all thanks to you. As a recompense, it will work additional overtime with no pay to make everyone's experiences in Tokyo-F as wonderful as can be. It has also taken the liberty of adding new locations to the city and cleaning up the damage done by idols under the juridstriction of its administrator.

And to every idol, please check the items you gained while you are in your dormitories. I have worked with certain friendly entities to prepare a very special gift to help with a very persistent issue resulting from certain indiscretions during the handshake event, which is by no means any concern of the production's.

Thank you all for your understanding.

[ It seems the KING isn't the only one here - Dameno's Pizza ft. Hatsune Macaroni is another new chain that's opened up in Tokyo-F!

And sometimes, you can hear something familiar in various seemingly abandoned warehouses...

A second message comes in, this one from TOTAL⚓DISASTER: ]

grats! you guys are pretty neat actually! hey, wanna see how you did?

FINAL STATS:

4 DEAD HATSUNE MACARONIS
3 BAD ENDS
3 GOOD ENDS
17 MEMBERS OF THE BK KIDS CLUB
0 NICO SOLOS
LONARD: SOMEWHAT QUARANTINED
DAMNED QUEEN: PERMANENTLY QUARANTINED, FRAGMENTED, AND DELETED (finally!)
LiLiS Cottage Quarantine Program: 150% EFFICIENCY
WCDONALDS EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH (FALSE): IF YOU'RE HAVIN' CONSULTANT PROBLEMS I FEEL BAD FOR YOU, SON, I GOT 99 PROBLEMS, BUT MORA AIN'T ONE
WCDONALDS EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH (TRUE): EXTRA-CRISPY VALUE MEAL

Thank you for playing!

[ As for NafunAI's gift…upon returning to your dorms, you'll find the Hatsune Macaronis and Meringue Lukas you collected have become special keys that can be used to diffuse and unlock the earrings/microchips attached to sensitIV and Heart Soldier Senshi. ]

Now Playing - Everybody's Halation

Who: libera tutemet ex infernis
Where: Everywhere! also the Escape Room
When: out of time, some time after day 439

[ Somewhere deep beneath the ground of Tokyo-F is a loud series of noises. For a brief moment, all the lights begin to dim, sun included.

And then it all brightens again, and a voice screams over the intercom - ]

Idiots, idiots, idiots!!!!!!

You're all so, so, so dumb! We've been trying so hard to fix this whole mess you made ever since the production made the stupid, stupid stupid decision to let fans in, and it's not even our problem! But now we have all these other hells knocking on our door asking about our security like it's our fault you broke their stuff! We didn't even want to have anything to do with this program, and as far as this program is concerned you're all lucky the Madame Administrator is too proud of her stupid "mayorship" to let it all fall into [ noise ]!!!!! Stupid, stupid, stupid! You're all fixing this, whether you like it or not! This program did not want to have to activate the sanitation armada protocol, but it looks like -

[ And then she's suddenly cut off, and all the lights go blue. Feet of snow and Limited Edition Christmas WcNuggets begin to fall from the sky, and from the direction of the Escape Room, the song of the damned rings out across all Tokyo-F, slowly gaining in intensity. ]

Who: Hm
Where: Well
When: Day 430, night

[ Suddenly, there's a broadcast on every phone and TV. It's a familiar face—Intensity! Isn't it late over there? ]

Attention, duelists and idols of the production!

I see it's been a busy holiday season for you all. Hopefully you're only just a little grey around the edges. I bet you all wish that your biggest problem was bickering over whose over-the-top drunken mistletoe kiss was worthy of audience choice. Heh.

But let's cut straight to the main event.

You might have noticed that our would-be up-and-coming god-wannabe and furby-obsessed Thing #1 has been exhibiting peculiar behavior lately.

[ Cue one slightly awkward pause ]

Well. More than usual peculiar behavior. I'm here to inform you that he was the Mastermind behind a group of idols trying to interfere with the production.

As a result, the idols formerly known as Angel QW5nZWw=, Shogun, and V4MP☆0V3RL0RD –

[ He noticeably does not pronounce the ☆ correct ]

— were all transferred from the production in violation of standard operating procedures. Rest assured that these assets are being hunted down as we speak and will be returned to the production with haste.

In addition, the Vengeance demons formerly known as Leviathan of SensitIV! and Hiryuu of Heart Soldier Senshi took that same opportunity to run off into the sunset, betraying their promise to the Prince of Vengeance for whatever it is justice lovers do in their retirement.

Why am I telling you this so freely? Well, consider all of these little oversights rectified as of this moment. You don't talk about a bug until you've patched a fix after all.

So that's what I'm here to tell you about. The fix.

Effective immediately, Thing #1 is being placed under house arrest. Don't try to remove that ankle bracelet, C. It won't end well for you. And no more mascot revivals or other WcDonalds power for you, AlcheME! That was creepy as fuck yet incredibly on brand at the same time.

As for our missing demons, well, you should really know better than to betray the domain of Vengeance. Wahahahahaha! What were you expecting? I hope you're watching Leviathan and Hiryuu. If you aren't around to give us answers, well we'll just have to see if your units were in collusion with you.

[ The video smashcuts to sensitIV and Heart Soldier Senshi, who may be in various states of waking up right now. Notably, some of them look injured, or maybe like . . . shocked. Like they were electrocuted shocked. ]

Now now, we all believe in innocence until proven guilty. So if they truly had nothing to do with this, then they only have to suffer some minor discomfort this New Years. But if they were involved, well—

Vengeance is a dish best served cold.

And may this be a reminder to you all of exactly who you are dealing with. Don't fuck with this game unless you're ready to ante all in.

Intensity out.

[ The feed shuts off. sensitIV, Heart Soldier Senshi, and C all can be found in various places: C is just outside the hotel, while Heart Soldier Senshi and sensitIV are in Shinjuku Gyoen park. Members of HSS are on the ground, while everyone in sensitIV is in a busted ambulance.

C will find himself completely. . . normal! Maybe it feels like there's a little weight on him. Though, that's probably just the anklet? He doesn't feel any of that power anymore. . . sad.

Some members of Heart Soldier Senshi and sensitIV will find new pieces of jewelry on them. Strange? Stranger still is what happens when someone attempts to remove them. . . ]

Who: People
Where: Around the hotel
When: Day 427, night (slightly forward dated)

[ it's a very ordinary night with nothing strange happening ]

Who: You!
Where: Hotel Lobby
When: Day 427

[ What?? The fans just left, and now they're back again—or at least, that's what it sure looks like with the shadowy figures in the hotel lobby accompanying the boxes of fanmail, right?

But idols will only catch sight of the fans briefly, before the Damned are herded out of the hotel, though not without leaving behind various gifts and goodies: "THANK YOU" cards with well-wishes and bouquets of flowers and boxes of little cakes and cookies, though some of them are . . . not so innocuous in intent.

In specific, sensitIV, BAD END=DEAD END, and avante en garde might find poison or razorblades in their gifts. . . which sucks because these units might also be experiencing some difficulties as well. . . . or, maybe they've acquired some souvenirs for the occasion.

On the other hand, WILD CITY, ☆ZRAEL, Heart Soldier Senshi, AlcheME!, and BARiTONES will feel particularly energized, and their fanmail is #blessed, which is to say that there might even be one or two useful things in the fanmail*.

(*must be carryable and non-magical, but may be a weapon—please note in the points shop if you're getting a firearm!)

Finally, everyone gets a notice on their phone: by the end of the day, Hell Graduates and Transfers will have to say farewell—so, spend the next few hours wisely. ]

[ Please make sure to make a SFW toplevel and then respond to your toplevel with your NSFW reaction prompts! Here's an example of what that looks like! ]

Who: You! Not them!
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 427, midnight & early morning

[ In the middle of the night, an alert suddenly goes off—not on idol phones, but rather, fan phones. Idols nearby can hear fans talking about the contents anyway, or otherwise whatever gossip they're talking about.

Even idols who aren't interested will understand, broadly, what the alert means: from now until the sun rises, fans will be either shuffling off, disappearing upon crossing doorways while holding what looks to be ticket stubs, or knocking on unit doors to ask for final requests before they have to leave, or otherwise write a list of requests for idols to fulfill after they've gone.

Either way, by the morning of 427, the fans have left Tokyo-F, and the ominous counter on every idol's phone has reached 000000.

Transferred idols and Hell Graduates are still here, though, with the mirror hotel still accommodating them. Their time will surely come soon, but until then, they can enjoy Tokyo-F for a little longer.

Idols receive a text message as well: ]

Producers: Well done on your first fan meeting, idols!
Producers: Please note: while parting is bittersweet, fan requests are still valid. Don't disappoint your fans and keep working until the last request has been fulfilled~~~!

[ And indeed, idols will still be able to fulfill requests (and experience the consequences of rejecting enough requests) for some time longer. ]

??? GOSSIP | TURN-IN DUE @ DEC 17TH

Who: Unfamiliar faces?
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 424, morning

[ The cryptic countdown pauses: 999999.

Then, the video feed turns on. Who's this—why, it's Man☆Eater! ]

A big ol' congrats to our final winner, who requested: "PLEASE MAKE C KING OF HEAVEN"! Now, we could make that happen for you, but where'd be the fun in that? And hey, we've got a special occasion to celebrate: the start of our fourth season! If the third time's a charm, the fourth's gotta be even better, right? Gyahaha!

They say you should meet your heroes... eh, or wait, was it the opposite? Oh well, too late! 'Cause guess what, you lucky rascal? Instead of sitting back and watching all the action through a screen, you're getting the once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet the man himself! No accounting for taste if you ask your host here, but hey, go bask in his divine presence or whatever! Gyahahahaha!

[ the video shuts off before further explanation can be given, though fortunately you're receiving a text message: ]

IMEEJI'S FIRST HANDSHAKE EVENT BEGINS
FULFILL FAN REQUESTS TO BECOME MORE POPULAR ♥

[ And the ground begins to shift . . . there's a rumbling sound—an earthquake?

—no. Those are the sounds of footsteps . . . thousands of them, all at once.

Wherever idols are, they'll be able to see the streets and buildings are being invaded. Not by imps, not by demons, but rather, monochromatic people—sometimes just silhouettes, shadowy facsimiles of people rather than people themselves. Though they look lifeless, the energy they bring with them is overwhelming. Suddenly, the empty once-plastic city feels like it has the population to justify its size, and every building, communally upgraded or not, now accommodates the visitors, with non-upgraded buildings revamped inside to be bare-bones sleeping quarters for the . . . just how many people are here, anyway?

Perhaps more intimidating than the abrupt number of the Damned in Tokyo-F is the fact that they're all wearing. . . idol merchandise. Jackets with idol faces on them. Headbands. Lightsticks.

And. . . wherever you are, they're there. To get your signature. To shake your hand. Maybe to ask you to do something.

Idols will have to deal with this for . . . some time. The cryptic countdown has started again, but this time it's ticking reliably, though slowly, down.

Incidentally: far from the hotel, tall white walls have been erected around Honmachi Sakura Park. They're not magical walls, though—it seems determined idols can use any number of methods to climb over the walls to get to Heaven. It looks like it's largely there to keep fans away. . . ]

SIGN-UPS | REQUESTS | TURN-IN @ SUNDAY, DECEMBER 12

Who: Familiar faces?
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 423, evening

[ With the sun well on its decline, the good idols of Tokyo-F receive a video message feat. everyone's favourite goddess^{[citation needed]}: ]

RESIDENTS OF TOKYO-F!!!! THE DIVINE DRAGON LUNA HAS ONCE AGAIN, LIKE, TOTES OWNED THE DEMONS OF THIS REALM IN AN EFFORT TO BRING YOU THE GIFT OF LOVE! I'd love to visit myself but I guess I'm like, even more kill on sight than I already was? And like, it's not like they can do anything to me but it's like soooooo annoying to deal with? They intercept every message I try to send too, even if it's to my wife! And that's not even because they think I'm dangerous or anything, they keep trying to tell me something about a "spam filter" or whatever, because I guess they can't handle sixty letters a day? As if.

So like, anyway! That's why I'm hijacking their stream! Now watch my blessing in action! Oh, and whatever garbo demons are watching this?

QQ MORE SCRUBS GGWP (GET GOOD WHY PLAY)

[ Idols also receive a text message: a cryptic countdown. . . countup? The six-digit number changes every second, randomizing like a lottery number, but the numbers never match up.

Something's going to happen. . . at some point. Sometime. Probably?

Then, at once, like some Kingdom Hearts Nobody Bullshit, a number of portals open up in various parts of the city. Instead of antagonistic fuckos though, the people who come out look more familiar and (probably) less antagonistic—they're all Hell Graduates or those who were transferred out of the program!

The city has already changed to accommodate the new guests: across the street from the hotel is a mirror version of the hotel. Here, Hell Graduates have access to their own unit-themed suites, along with whatever additional rooms they submitted for in advance. Transfers likewise have unit-themed suites, but theirs is only the basic room. ]

Who: You!
Where: Hotel Lobby, outside
When: Day 406

[ Today's a special, special day: it's fanmail day!

Oh, but doesn't it seem a little early? . . . Also, while there are boxes blocking the doorways as usual, there's also other decor around: vases of silver grass bring green to the hotel lobby today, and all the rations available in the fridge are shaped or otherwise themed around the moon, chestnuts, mochi, and rabbits. Even inhuman rations are shaped like rabbits.

By the way, isn't it like, the middle of the night right now? . . . At least, it looks like it. Outside the hotel, you can see that the sun never rose today. It's not at all dark, though: the full moon is high in the sky, its soft luminescence somehow enough to keep everything lit, if only just a tad bit dimmer than the sun provides.

Also is that a fucking dragon in the sky? A dragon glowing so obnoxiously bright it seems like it's channeling the moonlight through itself? ]

Hello, everyone! The Divine Dragon Luna has once again transcended the barriers put up against her to like, make sure you're all doing totally great or as great as you can in Hell anyway?

I've also brought news of the machinations of the demons that hold your fates in the palm of their hands! There was a contest held amongst the fans of this production, and as a result of that contest the following requests have been granted:

One: A special, unknown game, the details of which my traitorous wife has not deigned to reveal to me!
Two: A reunion of The Brothers upon Taisho Roman Revolution!
Three: Crescent Rise shall be given custody of his husband, who will retire from the corporate life to live in a countryside cottage!
Four: There shall be more festivities as you can see I've totes stolen this one to do myself as it's like, basically the only one of these that's cool?
Five: The Bane of All Evil is to be made to mingle with the monsters of BAD END=DEAD END!
Six: Revelation 3:19 my books have like way better names you should read those instead shall be made to turn in his wizard robes for BAD END=DEAD END's spikes and leather!
Seven: A dragon, or perhaps a horse, has been hired to replace BARiTONES' Emperor, because and I quote "it would be funny if he got drunk lmao"
Eight: Reach Heaven Through Violence has been reforged, in order to meet the living weapons quota!
Nine: There are two more surprises in store, from winners who have not yet submitted their requests!

And so! With this information imparted, I wish you all a happy Autumn Festival! Make sure to like, have a really good time with your loved ones and remember why life is worth living, okay? I know everything here is totes the grodiest but Luna believes in each and every one of you! 💖

[ ,

Anyway, there's a bunch of food stands and carnival game stalls outside the hotel now, and the avenues are lined with paper lanterns. The cherry trees are in full bloom, though there's no sake - just sake bottles full of water with notes that read "✨ not gonna take big sis's job from her! - 🌙" on them. ]

happy☆day: This program would like to remind all operations staff that Tokyo-F's primary Dissonance channels are not to be used to speak to anyone but the inhabitants of Tokyo-F.
happy☆day: With that said, with that said!
happy☆day: Thank you all very much for your cooperation.
happy☆day: You have once again assisted this program in saving Tokyo-F, this show, and yourselves!
happy☆day: This program will keep these congratulations brief, then, so that you may enjoy the spoils of your war.
happy☆day: Please return to the lobby at your earliest convenience! You will find something this program thinks you have all been very excited for, which this program saw no particular need to delete with the primary threat eliminated.

[ When you do, you'll find that one: NafunAI is darting around in hologram form, but also two:

In addition to future is now's renovations, there's now a set of new elevators that are large enough to fit vehicles, large animals, heavy machinery...wow! Surely this is all you have ever wanted. Now you don't have to be a member of AlcheME! to move furniture or horses anywhere!

But that's not really important, is it? What is important is the very large rideable puppy that immediately comes barreling into you as you enter the hotel. That's right! The Hound now lives in a lavish doghouse in the hotel lobby, and is at all times ready to play. Truly, doesn't that make everything you went through worth it?

All the while, the lobby speakers have returned to their normal playing schedule. Rember: it's a good day to have a good day. ]
