Who: Everyone~
When: Day 12, forward dated slightly
What: Tanabata ☆

[ 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.

You'll find a message on your phones:

Producers: TANABATA POTLUCK today at Shinjuku Gyoen! Bring a dish, any dish! Share with your friends! Share with your foes! Get along with anyone and everyone! Today marks a special anniversary, the one fated meeting of the star-crossed! Anything can happen here ♥
Producers: And who knows? There may be a few opportunities for you to get some points ☆
Producers: Make sure to put on a good show for us, idols! Oh, and for the seniors here: make sure to teach the new scouts well, okay~?


New . . . New scouts? Well, come to think of it, there are a few new faces around your dorm - they'll be popping out of their rooms when they're ready (when did those rooms get there) the same way that you did: in pajamas and with 3 sets of starter clothes to their name, along with their cell phone and approximately 0 points and 0 memories. The elevators won't let them leave the floor until they decide their position in the unit, and they're probably just as confused as you were when you came - so maybe you should try helping them out?

Leave the dorms and you'll find a lit-up pathway to Shinjuku Gyoen from . . . anywhere you are, honestly; the pavement seems to reflect the sky above to make a river of stars that run down to the park. There, 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 - you know, the long ones. There's nothing on them, though. It looks like you'll have to bring your own food. It is supposed to be a potluck, after all!! As for entertainment - well, surely you guys can figure it out, right?

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.


There aren't any paper tags though . . . or ink, or brushes to write with. Oh, but come to think of it, there's probably a unit that could help with that, isn't there?

Hanging just above average height is the first paper tag: STOP BREAKING MY FUCKING TOWER ]

[ Just as an OOC note, this is not a game! This is just a little probably-picnic probably-potluck mingle with opportunity to perform a Live fitting to this occasion! Aside from the toplevel where you should respond to with wishes, you can make your own toplevels and do whatever you like! ]

Who: whoever
Where: wherever
When: Day 8, post-game afternoon

[ Well, that sure was a game. On the bright side, it looks like whatever damage was done to the Game Tower and nearby buildings this time around remain, which means you lucky people get to walk out of the Game Tower by tiptoeing around glass!

Don't bother trying to pick it up - even if you do, the glass just hops back out of wherever you dumped it to go right back to its spot. Well, you wanted a broken Game Tower, so here it is!! This is what you get!!!!

Be happy!!!!!!!

Anyway, here's a mingle. ]

Who: everyone
Where: GAME TOWER
When: Day 8, morning

[ as the GAME ALERT goes off on idols' phones and pulls up the map app, the monitors in the lobby of the game tower similarly flare to life, showing the face of a white-haired man with eerily green eyes and matching painted nails, leaning very close to the camera and waving with both hands. the elevators are open and waiting, with the floor indicator lights over the doors showing unit names instead of numbers. trying to enter another unit's elevator just won't work, for whatever reason. there are more monitors inside the elevators, in case any of you were worried about missing this guy's intro spiel on the ride up. ]

Good morning, everyone! Thank you for tuning in~! As you may have seen on our website, today we'll be collaborating with some very special, very exciting guests-

[ he steps back, and the camera pans out until the top half of his figure is relegated to one of the bottom corners of the display, to make room for a large screen; he gestures at it with a fling of both arms, and logos with each of the units' names fill the screen. ]

-My very own juniors from Imeeji Idol Productions!

[ as he keeps talking, the logos fade out and change to a slideshow of pictures of the characters in Imeeji, some group shots, some solo, all candid shots from their past few days here, expertly taken (and in some cases possibly edited a little). ]

As some of you probably already know, it's only been a short time since I graduated from being an idol, so this will be my first time on this end of the "host and idol" interaction! Since it's an important occasion, I arranged for a special theme for today's program- mahjong! Ja-jannnn!

[ he gesticulates at the screen again, and the last shot of someone's face is replaced by this image. ]

But the goal of this game isn't building sets like your standard riichi. These tiles are just simple tools for our idols to use to show us their resolve! Their compassion! Their devotion! And most of all, their luck!

[ the camera angle switches to one where his torso is centered in the frame when he claps his hands, and he smiles brightly from the monitor. ]

But they're not the only ones who'll be working hard! Remember, everyone - idols thrive on love! That's why, please support them with everything you have! The only way the unit you hold in your heart the most can beat the others is if you cheer them on with all your love!

And with that, leeeeeet's go~☆!

[ the screens flick off and the elevator doors open, not to the large stage, but to individual rooms. as soon as you step into your unit's room, the instructions will appear on your phones. ]

Who: Everyone
Where: wherever there's a TV and then, dining hall
When: Day 7, a respectable time in the morning when most people are up and at 'em

[LIVE ALERT!

the cameras zoom in on your boy who seems more cheered than yesterday. maybe it has something to do with yet another cinderblock he's holding as he stands at the game tower?]

Let's meet up. Talk things over. Dining hall in thirty.

Oh, and sorry about the noise.

[because of course it's not a BE=DE live if you're not breaking shit. and windows are loud when they break.

the live cuts off pretty quick after he does a few more (less noisy) minor damages. mostly seems to be just wasting time kicking holes in walls after climbing in through the rebroken window.



Do you attend?]

Who: whoever wants to be here
Where: THE GARDEN
When: day 4, a more reasonable time

[ there's some asshole with his hands cupped around his mouth asking you, the general public, anyone in earshot, some very important questions ]

Hello~ excuse me~. I have two questions.

One, does anyone want to play hide and seek?

Two, can we do a poll by age and guess the likelihood that most adults have been murdered and the next ones to get picked off are probably the oldest? Thanks~

Who: THOSE WHO HAVE HEARD THE GOOD WORD (aka ✩zrael) AND THOSE WHOMST ARE ABOUT TO HEAR IT (aka all you Godless heathens)
Where: Right outside of the hotel, and also in the hearts and minds of the people
When: Day 3, noon


[ Since the commotion this morning, ☆ZRAEL has decided to put on their own show if they stage they've been setting up outside the dorms has been any indication.

Well, a 'stage'. It's actually a bunch of tables shoved together alongside the chairs from their dorm with red and black blankets tossed over them, all adorned with pentacles.

Once it's set up, Little☆Red climbs atop the table and hits her MEDIA ATTENTION button before clearing her throat and speaking with a smile. ]

Hello! We, ☆ZRAEL, those who walk in the shadow of Satan and under the protection of God present to all of you who have not yet had your eyes opened the Holy Word of Our God, Who Smiles Beneath the Blood Moon.

She is beautiful, the Mother of all angels descended from the sky to deliver upon us Her gifts! Her abilities surpass all other beings from Her ability to open doors to Her fair and swift judgements of the sinful! She has come and we must open our hearts to Her, so that we may revel in the everyday suffering of this world! There is no escape from it, no escape from pain or sadness except to embrace a sorrowful existence! To do this is to embrace Her and to let Her arms enfold you, as She guides you through life to Death, where we find the only true justice! This is true happiness!

Love God, and She will set you free from the pain of hope!

[ Her voice is melodic, lilting, and feels just a bit unsettlingly off though really, with this subject matter who the fuck would be surprised.

At any rate, when she finishes, she turns to the other members of ☆ZRAEL, nodding at them to speak as well. ]

Who: Calling all idols
Where: The Game Tower
When: day 2, afternoon

[ You didn't lose your phone, did you?

If you didn't and you're anywhere within range of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building-- your phone just went off loudly, with an insistent vibration. All other features of your phone have been overridden by an alert header above a map that reads:

GAME TIME.

The map displays the route to the Game Tower from your current location. You can't make phone calls, you can't play with your camera, you can't even check your profile.

Follow the map, and the doors open to the lobby, welcoming you in. ]

"See the future today!"

"Learn what romance lies in store~!"

WHO: Gold and some guy he found playing with pots and YOU
WHERE: Dining Area
WHEN: Day 1, Afternoon

[ What happens during a live, I guess we're finding out. ]

[ If you were around the dining area a little earlier, you might have heard this going down. Now, Gold's MEDIA ATTENTION app has been activated, which broadcasts him in possibly the most unenthusiastic tone for a guy about to engage in a frying pan fight. ]

Unit member Gold of unit Avante en Garde, active. For the honor of my ears being spared the sounds of pots and pans clanging into each other for however long you planned to keep building that tower, I challenge you to a duel.

(( OOC: Duet is raiding but will be responding once she's done in a couple of hours. For now you're stuck with this loser. Incoming yugioh! ))

WHO: future is now
WHERE: Dormitory, 6th floor
WHEN: Day 1, Morning

[ You all wake up in bed with your smartphone at your bedside. The closet door is locked, so if you want to change out of your sleepwear, no dice. If you try to remember why you locked your closet door, also no dice, since you remember absolutely nothing from before waking up.

At least you've got all these other amnesiacs waking up in the same dormitory you can ask questions that they also don't have the answer to! The only thing that even pretends to have answers is your smartphone, which helpfully has your profile, a rundown on your unit, a map and city information, and your job description: while your every waking moment is being filmed and broadcast to a live audience, you'll get to conduct lives, perform in videos, and participate in game shows where you'll compete against other units! Congratulations on becoming an idol!

The television in the main room is waiting for your input; the current display is a list of the "names" of everyone in your unit with flashing empty boxes next to each of them, much like the ones on your profiles, waiting for you to each assign yourself a personal color— your position within the unit.

Once you've all chosen, the closet doors will unlock. It seems the elevator doors are staying locked while waiting on other units to finish sorting out their positions. Maybe go put on some real clothes in the meantime. ]

((Your character's sleepwear is whatever you want it to be, be it embarrassing onesie or long nightgown or just boxer shorts, though only white and unit colored. This post is for you to meet and greet your unit; another post will be going up tomorrow for characters to explore the setting outside of their dorms and meet other units.))
