Who: Idols who play games
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 251, morning

[The lobby of the game tower is filled several oversized picture books today, each marked by strange and distinct black and white ink illustrations. They stand the height of a person, and are supported by wooden easels so that the pages can be easily turned.]

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

[The room is otherwise undecorated; there does not seem to be an indication as to who the host might be.]

Who: D.Va, Hurricane, Nemesis, Kaguya, & YOU!
Where: The Beach.
When: Day 250.

[ she’s lounging on a sand throne that probably looks more like it exists by total accident in this, but she tried her best, ok, s- shutup. ] It's ~*~summer~*~ and you know what that means, right, it's time to get down and dirty at the beach-! [ ... ] No, not like that. [ chuckles. ]

It’s time to build your biggest, baddest, and bestest sandcastle! [ she exchanges looks with her castle building cohorts and smirks. ] We all know how much you guys loooove to show off, so how about letting us see just what you can do~!


[Nemesis grins, perched on a decent-looking sand parapet (though it's only a couple inches off the ground.]

Not that we expect anything close to the heat we're bringing. But sure, we don't mind making a competition of it. Interpret "castle" however you want, but it's gotta be badass if you're planning on walking off with the prize.

[ Then there’s the vampire…! Sunglasses in place, umbrella overhead, hat atop her head-- give this girl some shade. She waves cheerfully, she’s just making a sand bunny. Castles need cute things too, right? ]

If you need a break from all the sun you can join me in the shade. We’ve got some ~rules~ though! Anyone who shows up is required to have some FUN! And you had better bring your A-game!


[Hurricane has on some tacky plastic sunglasses, and he's standing in front of a sand tower half as tall as he is] We're talking like moats and turrets and flags and stuff. Bonus points if an AlcheME can shrink down and walk around inside.

So bring it, cause winner takes all. And by all I mean a badass trophy.


It’s made out of sand too! ...and glue. [ lots and lots and LOTS of glue. ] But good luck and, yes, you’ll need it, because you’ve already got some stiff competition. [ her aibou pans the camera to the side to reveal her castle in all it’s glory, but cut her some slack ( or don’t ) she’s still kind of drunk. ]

( ooc; HSS, avante, & taisho get 600 points and all of the other units get 450. don't forget to add the 200 point summer bonus! )

Who: All Small, Medium, and Big
Where: All City
When: Day 246, noon

[ Eventually, the game draws to a close, and all the stamp and healing booths disappear. There's a fireworks display of all the unit colours, but it seems Red has disappeared off to somewhere. Instead, you get Generic Announcement Voice: ]

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. ]

When: Day 245

[ How is everyone today?

Because Tokyo-F is doing great! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, there's stamp booths spread throughout the city -

And you're in the game tower, watching as the Red Sea Witch starts a broadcast right outside to announce the start of a new game. She's standing in front of the stamp booth, and once the camera is on her she does a little twirl ending in a curtsy - it's very clearly a practiced movement, though for those who are familiar with her she seems somewhat more unsteady and less sure on her feet than she used to when greeting people. ]

Little☆Red, ☆Z --



Hell's Red Sea Witch, here! Hello, everyone! ☆ I hope you're all as surprised to see me doing something like this as I am to be here, hehehe! Sorry to disappoint everyone who's been waiting to see me do something bloodier than this, especially for a season premiere, but I promise this'll be fun too! ☆

[ and then, with more venom in her voice: ]

After all, isn't being young and stupid again the worst possible torture? Gyahaha! ☆



Anyway, today's a day to celebrate, hehehe! In order to kick things off we're going to be taking a tour of Tokyo-F - that is, you and our beloved idols! And with everything new that's been happening, it's only sensible to have a new perspective on things too, right? So the goal of this game is to complete a stamp rally! To see the city and see old locations and meet old friends through a set of fresh eyes! Hehehe…hopefully you'll meet new friends, too! Oh, but what am I talking about when I talk about perspectives? Well, let me demonstrate!

[ The Red Sea Witch grabs a card off the Game Tower stamp station - which takes a bit due to the tiptoeing she has to do to actually reach the top - and stamps her card. For a moment, nothing happens and then…her clothes poof blue, more sailor-y and less eye-covered, her eyes turn bluish-grey, and she even becomes smaller! ...By literally exactly 1 cm. Her smile is maybe a little more strained than usual. ]

So! There you go! This isn't the only thing that happens, eheheh...there's plenty of fun new outlooks on life to gain! Even if some of them are old ones. So, with that all said, let's start off Generation 3 with a ☆!

[ !! DING DING DING !!

!! DING DING DING !!

!! DING DING DING !!


One(1) sensitIV with six(6) butterfly wings, antennae, and zero(0) hands sits at one of those lemonade stand booths. there is usually some sort of sign but the sign no longer says anything because it looks like someone just handlessly dumped a bucket of paint on it and called it good.

this is a live. somehow. in fact it's actually two. ]

Excuuuse me! Excuse me, excuse me!

[ hey! listen! HEY HEY LISTEN! ]

Yes, there is a serious problem that needs to be addressed! Don't you know? It's about hands - yes, I'm sure you know! Indeed, people have been having problems with hands, so - !

[ he pats the table of the lemonade stand ]

I, Lucifel, am here to lend you a hand! ☆ With my lovely assistant, Avenger!

[ with a giggle and a handless gesture to one(1) doodle who gives a very unenthusiastic wave with the two(2) hands that he actually has before clearing his throat and speaking]

Yeah, hands. Can't do a thing without 'em, you know? You need them for grabbing things and shit. Having opposable thumbs is one of the things that sets humans apart from the animals.

Except animals that also have those, like monkeys. Pretty sure other primates too. Just goes to show that there's not nearly as much of a difference as people think, right? Everyone's like one banana away from being a chimp.

But even so, hands are important. And apparently there's ghosts or something that crave them. So that's why we're doing this Live? I dunno, this is all really stupid.

[ lucifel waves again. handlessly. ]

And ☆ So ☆ We can solve all of your hand problems! ☆

[ BRING YOUR OWN HANDS or don't. you live your best life. ]

Where: Game Tower
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. ]

Welcome, welcome, welcome, everyone! This program is pleased to announce its first 2.0 assignment (2.0 sure came quick, huh?! This program is so excited, aren’t you, aren’t you?): Marketing 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. 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?”

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

...

...

Ummmm...

. . .

Actually, that's completely right, that's completely right! That’s not your job at alllll! Yaaaaaay! ☆ Management's a bunch of fu

[ and then she distorts suddenly, dissolves, and then reforms like three inches to the left and back in her regular outfit.

Also, she’s giggling obnoxiously again. ]

So to our contestants, good luck, good luck, good luck! And everyone else, enjoy the show!

Oh...and idols? Remember, remember, remember! Everything that happens, happens because of you!

WHO: Taisho & You!
WHERE: Lobby!
WHEN: Day 238, Late Morning

Hello Tokyo-f!

[ There’s a cheery Taisho waving among the...rest of the Taisho…! From within the lobby as a live suddenly goes off! And that Taisho, namely Kaguya, plows right ahead. ]

It's been a while since Taisho has hosted a unit-wide live-- we're a little shy apparently! But that's exactly why I'd like to try and interact a little more thoughtfully with everyone. And we have a pretty good excuse today. You see...? We have two new members! One of them is actually a girl, too!

[ For which Kaguya seems pretty excited! She holds her hands out as though showing off a prize on a game show. ]

Introducing to you...! Our newbies!

[ Camera pans to Newbie 1 and Newbie 2! ]

It seems like some of you uh--- might have met one of them the other day. But I'd like for people to treat this with the utmost sincerity! These are my precious new unitmates. And for that reason, we're throwing a naming ceremony! As it stands right now! We have--

GUY SHIRO-!

[ Oh, is he supposed to do something? Well he's just going to stand there looking serious, or maybe a bit annoyed. He's trying very hard not to let that part show though. ]

It's Vergil. [ Just a mutter really. ]

Anddddddd-

LASSY AO--!

[ a much smaller person (but still taller than Kaguya), with a full set of mechanized prosthetic limbs and an obnoxiously bright hoodie, waves both hands and gives a very large, very fake grin ]

You can call me 'One' if you want, too~. Kaguya didn't know I was a girl at first, so if any of you wanna check and make sure feel free!

[ Kaguya clearly flusters with a blush. M-Mistakes happen…! ]

Yes, well…that-- [ AHEM- ]

A-anyway, you can submit a different name if you don’t like our ideas. In the end, we'll pin the name they like the most to their respective kimono as a conclusion. But the main point is to get to know us and our newbies! Adult and kiddie drinks are available, and a questions meme is available for people to get to know one another better if they choose to take part in it! No one is obligated to answer a question or even play if they don't want to. It's meant to be fun, so no pressure.

Anyway, we only have one ground rule.

[ She's invoking their newest ability, Common Law at the moment. ]

Absolutely no violence.

Other than that though, please enjoy a couple of drinks, play some games, and get to know us and our newbies!

[ Upon being whisked to the Game Tower, you can feel your phone vibrate; it seems that a new app has appeared on it, named "Sharing." The lobby also seems to have a number of rooms added to it…? Upon closer inspection, they're a number of small vid rooms, with controls on the outside to choose a scenario.

In the center of the lobby sits the possibly-familiar figure of Lantana, in a plush armchair, reading a book. Or, rather, her hologram, since some people did in fact just try to stab a host just this week.

She snaps her book closed at seeing you all arrive. ]

Good, you're here.

We've dealt with memories, uncovered truths—now is for a more fundamental level of understanding. And before all of you protest, it's character-building. No, I will not change the rules or exempt you.

Please do your best not to disappoint. You've done well so far, after all.

Who: Intensity, Kohime and you unlucky fool
Where: Hotel lobby/dining room
When: Day 234 evening

[Oh me, oh my! What's this? Looks like a section of the dining area closest to the lobby has been commandeered for a Live. This one hosted by the new sword cat and her FiN assistant. (Ssshhh don't let him hear anyone say that).]

[Kohime is standing on the table, hands on her hips and clearly amused -- she's in on a joke that Intensity most definitely is not.]

Hey, "Idols"~

Nerdboy here thinks it's no big deal to try out a little home cooking from my world. But I thought it'd be more fun if there was a little more challenge to it. Whoever eats more than Intensity here gets a prize, and he gets embarrassed! So it's a win-win.

[Piled high on the gathered tables are stacks of Horde ration bars with this masterpiece as the centerpiece. Except with hmmm... who is that supposed to be again? instead.

Intensity huffs, crossing his arms as he sits up straighter in his chair: ]

How bad can it be?

[ Famous last words ]

When everyone's done swiping, your phones chime and a new button appears on your profiles to view your matches. If you tap through on each match you can see their regular idol profile with their real picture. You can also message them, though since you're all standing in the same room that's probably only useful for later on.

If you're looking for somewhere to get to know each other before heading out, the bar now champagne towers and romantic snacks. If you're trying to plan a good date spot, there are various brochures for exciting new locations lying around. The game tower doors are open now, and the entire city is at your disposal.

When you first find yourself in the game tower, you're in a small individual room, like a phone booth, and your phone informs you that you need to make a dating app profile. The door won't open until you put something in.

Once it does, you find yourself with everyone else in a large and well-lit, if not very cozy, room.

There appears to be a cozier location behind a velvet rope that reads ♥ EXCLUSIVE SINGLE'S BAR ♥. It looks pretty nice, with cozy couches and an open bar.

Your phone lights up with some new instructions.
