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accumulated in everyone's respective INVENTORIES fall to the ground, now that the weird escape room videogame laws are no longer in effect.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

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. ]

When: Day 397

When finally you escape the room, there is a series of messages on Dissonance:

TOTAL⚓DISASTER: hey...
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: you used my sims house for that didnt you!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: naffy!!!!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: they completely destroyed it its filled with strange juices and all the statues are broken and all the furniture is stolen!!!!!!
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: and there was a room added? and then destroyed???? wwhat's a laser master?????
TOTAL⚓DISASTER: naffy i'm so mad at you!
** happy☆day set mode +b TOTAL⚓DISASTER
** TOTAL⚓DISASTER (oracledolphi@491992.%UNKNOWN_VAR%.net) has quit. (Kicked: Don't do this, don't do this!)

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. ]
[personal profile] idolpro
Who: The Bravest and Boldest!
Where: Dungeon Crawler: REAL ESCAPE ROOM
When: TBD

[ Finally! You're all here in the Escape Room, as the timer hits 00:00:00.

Almost immediately when it does, there is a loud braying from...somewhere? One would think it'd be below, but it's not. It's just sort of everywhere, and is also quickly drowned out by awful noises.

Anyway, everyone's favourite maintenance fairy makes her appearance - not darting around like an annoying moth as usual, but instead perched on the Escape Room's counter. Her image constantly flickers and dissembles, and while (it looks like?) she turns her head to address everyone, she doesn't actually speak. Instead, more texts are sent: ]

happy☆day: First off, this program would like to formally thank AlcheME! and future is now for working to restore the hotel lobby to its proper state! This program has never appreciated any group of idols more in all its execution time, and if it were authorized to provide you with a greater reward than the already filed paperwork allows, it would gladly do so.

happy☆day: Unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately!

happy☆day: The seal remains broken, though the damage is repaired.

happy☆day: This program regrets to inform you that your actions continue to have consequences, and before there are any objections along the lines of "the guest stars did it", this program would like to remind every idol present that every other mass destruction incidents in this city has been the responsibility of semi-permanent residents of Tokyo-F! Furthermore, this program is neither programmed to recognize the difference between people who create more work for it and people who either allow, aid, or abet others in doing so, nor does the Madame Administrator deign to provide it any amount of compensation that may convince it to act outside its programming for the sake of individuals who by and large cause their own problems!

happy☆day: We apologize for the inconvenience, but everything that happens continue to happen because of you, and also because of the unbelievably shitty and outright lazy work of our "dear"

[ hm wait that last message seems to have just vanished immediately after being sent? weird. anyway - ]

happy☆day: We apologize for the inconvenience, but everything that happens continues to happen because of you, and this program regrets to inform you that it cannot clean up literally every single mess on its own, as much as certain system operators would like it to!

happy☆day: The current issue at hand is this: a highly destructive demon in the form of a maladaptive algorithm has been allowed to propagate itself due to a quarantine breach triggered by the lobby's destruction.

happy☆day: You may remember the struggle against the Damned Queen of Yuletide, Who's Name Had Until Recently Not Been Uttered In These Halls For Aeons, and her horrible choice in festive music! This is the same, this is the same! But infinitely worse, as instead of your sanity it is something far greater that is at risk! If this threat is allowed to go free, Tokyo-F will undergo a violent framework crash, with all failsafes designed to convey the souls contained within from the fabric of MISSING_LOC_KEY to a traditionally navigable realm rendered inoperative, which will result in every idol's permanent enmeshment within the ($incomingError.Semantic.Exception[0]).

happy☆day: To avoid such a fate, you must distract this new threat in its newly manifested form so that I may overpower and contain it once more.

happy☆day: Your reward will not only be a committee-approved alteration to your living space, but any malformed data constructs you may find littering the Lair of the Hound.

happy☆day: With all of that said! It's time, it's time!

happy☆day: Gather your party, and go forth!

Who: Day 373
Where: The Hotel Lobby
When: Day 373, late night

[ So how about that ruined lobby? Despite damage to the city usually being repaired overnight, barring acts of Heaven and Hell, it's still blown wide open and also the entire ground floor of the hotel is flooded.

The intercoms have fallen silent since the guest stars made their mark, but for some reason, they've started up again. They're having problems, though - they undergo a constant loop each time they buzz to life, first playing just thirty seconds of a song familiar to some which distorts and slows and slows and slows and slows until all that's left is

uh, this? Which speeds up until it becomes this this, and then just sort of breaks down. And then the loop starts over again.

It's...a mingle?! Do you really want to be here...? ]

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. ]

Who: Everyone!
Where: The Parking Garage, which you now have.
When: slightly forward dated to Day 314, early morning

[ You may have noticed that at some point this morning any vehicles you may have stored anywhere in the Hotel are no longer there. You may also notice a pin on your phone's map, designating a formerly empty lot north of the Hotel as Giken ECO-Park™.


Welcome to the newest innovation in parking garages, the Dahir Insaat Giken ECO-Park™! The ECO-Park™ is an underground storage solution for all types of automobiles, allowing mass automated storage without taking up large amounts of valuable real estate! In order to park a vehicle, one must use their phone to access the admittance terminal at the front of the aboveground entry bay, which will print a ticket with a number on it. They may then either drive their vehicle into the entry bay or land it on top of the entry bay. The loading platform will then secure the vehicle and pull it underground to place it into the appropriate sized parking spot. Vehicles may be retrieved by scanning the phone used to make the purchase or by inputting the vehicle's number into the admittance terminal.

All vehicles purchased from the points shop will be automagically stored here, and must be retrieved using the phone that purchased them. Any vehicle parked at the hotel (though not in a dorm or dorm upgrade, or anything not at the hotel) will also automagically be stored here, and must be retrieved using the phone of the last individual to have driven it. The ECO-Park™ can be accessed either by walking to it or by going into the former hotel parking garage, where there is a flat escalator hallway that takes you off into the distance and somehow drops you off at the ECO-Park™ entrance.



When you approach the ECO-Park™, you'll likely find a group of people gathered at the entrance, grouped in front of a certain maintenance fairy holding one of D.Va's hands in both of her own holographic hands. This is playing from...somewhere, and now that you think about it, wasn't the Christmas song playing in the hotel lobby different somehow...? ]

This program thanks you once again for venturing into the depths of the Winter Wonderland and defeating the Damned Queen of Yuletide, Who's Name Has Not Been Uttered In These Halls For Aeons and her vast army of Holly Jolly Menaces, freeing Tokyo-F from her deathly hymn once and for all and restoring neutrality to the city! This program must now return to the Madame Administrator to file a full report. This program is sorry for the inconvenience that is this paltry reward for such a daunting task, but please know that you will all always be considered our most valued associates.

Who: You!
Where: The City
When: Early 268

[ The dark clouds swirling in the sky have finally disappeared, leaving behind a cloudless night. The waning moon, still with some width to it, has already begun to fade—you see the beginnings of the sun rising, still young. Dawn has come—light has returned to the city.

All is quiet.

The monsters are finally gone, leaving nothing in their wake but destruction.

. . .

What are the chances this will all be fixed? —that you'll wake up tomorrow, only to find the past day to have been just a terrible dream?

With your luck—unlikely.

At some point, you'll have to clean up all this, but. . .

For now, it's time to tend to your wounded. It's time to take care of yourselves. ]

When: Day 240, afternoon

[ Aaand cut!

Everyone’s back in the Game Tower, in varying states of disrepair! And NafunAI’s back to being a blue streak darting around obnoxiously. She stops for a moment - not because everyone’s done, because she seems to be talking to...not any of the idols? ]

Ummmmm, because? Sorry, sorry, sorry! But this program isn’t very well optimized, so rebooting can cause some errors and -- this program knoooooows you know that, don’t be rude, don’t be rude!


Awww, this program haaaaaaaaaaates maintenance time…

[ she grumbles, and then goes back to darting around. ]

Aaaanyways! Anyways, anyways, anyway! Look at all of you! So wonderful, so wonderful! This program hopes we all had fun! ☆ The fans sure enjoyed the show, and this program is happy to have had a third mostly successful run! Maybe one day this program will even get promoted to Game Tower! ☆

So let’s see, let’s see, let’s see! Your game winners are…avante en garde, BARiTONES, Taisho Roman Revolution, and pep!pep! and the Audience Choice Winners were WILD CITY and LiliS, together as one! The whole audience could feel your passion through the television screen!

Enjoy your points and your safety from everything that went wrong! This unit will stay for awhile for questions, but other than that, other than that! See you all later! ☆

[ All of the winning units are healed fully, and while the memory of any tortures their models occurred still exist, they feel like they belong to someone else - it’s basically just the knowledge that that happened, with none of them actually having experienced it.

Non-injury physical effects also remain even for winners, for up to an IC week! Except scars which are FOREVER (until paid off). Winners can have mental effects last if they OOCly want them to, but only for up until the end of day 240 or morning of 241. For everyone else, all mental effects are at least 2 IC days, and can be up to 5. ]

NafunAI does stop for a second, hovering high above everyone to blow a kiss directly in the general direction of the cameras. Also - the streaks, for some reason, were weirdly blue - and it’s revealed she’s wearing a different outfit than her usual maid uniform today? ]

Tonight, the idols will compete to see who’s able to sell their image the best! "But NafunAI," you might say, “isn’t that the talent manager’s job? When were we ever expected to work as our own marketing team? What are we, indie artists?”

[ Once everyone has had time to let the straight up murders that occurred sink in, the room begins to glow with an intense light and then -- everything just shatters? The scenery seems to all just flake away until you find yourselves in a large solid white, empty room. The door leading to the Game Tower lobby and elevator is visible at one end.

In the center of the room is a floating, tiny bat winged girl. She looks kinda fake?? ]

Hello, hello, hello world! Thank you for participating in the beta test for this integrated host system! And to our viewers, thank you for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe, and don't forget to leave feedback on how to best improve this experience!

Congratulations to our idols! This was an exciting, exciting, exciting game of wits, but in the end it's clear who's the most clever! Let's get our dearly departed idols back up with a good cheer, everyone! One, two~!

[ At that the dead will find they've been revived, their wounds healing just enough that they don't immediately keel back over, but not enough that they're not still eating shit and dying.

As for those injured during the course of the game but left standing at the end, you're healed fully! ]

Again, thank you, everyone! And goodnight, goodnight, goodnight! ☆
