Who: avante en garde, ⭐ZRAEL, invited guests
Where: Buildings nearby the hotel
When: Day 371/370/whenever is most convenient

[ All members avante en garde and ⭐ZRAEL have received a set of invites, both with separate places listed but the same time. Travelling to either of the listed addresses leads to two buildings across the street from each other - one is a mostly empty warehouse, filled with graffiti and mural painting supplies. Tarps cover portions of the floor, and from floor to ceiling are elaborate murals that are a mix of grunge and graffiti with gothic catholic classic detailing, which depict scenes of hell and demons and angels and battle various types of birds (coincidentally(?) only birds that members of avante take their names after). The murals are illuminated brightly, almost seeming to glitter in the sunlight that filters through a single window in the far back wall of the warehouse. Despite it being just one window, the light touches every surface in the warehouse and no matter what angle an observer is at, they can see the sun bright in the sky through it.

The other building is a towering gothic style cathedral, halls filled with constant ominous chanting of daemonic poetry™️. There is all the expected Christian finery, though the shadows gnawing at every corner of the architecture utterly inescapable no matter where one is in the building - with one exception. The altar room, the beating heart of this cathedral, seems to have been converted into a ballroom with an ostentatious and bright crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, bordered by planters full of morning glories and blue roses. Ravens roost in the chandelier, cawing along to whatever music happens to be playing over the sound system.

In the street between the two buildings is a sectioned off street fair, connecting the two venues. A large banner is strung across the street, hung from the parapet of the cathedral and the rafters of the warehouse, bearing the words:
FAREWELL, CHILDREN OF SPARDA

The market itself contains a wide array of foods - there are traditional Japanese dishes, as well as food that resembles but is not quite similar to Thai and Laotian cuisine. Somehow, there is also exactly as much spaghetti as there is any other food. As in, roughly half of the food available is just spaghetti and literally nothing else. For dessert there are sweets from all the world over, and at the center of the market is a colossal cake, featuring DANTE FROM THE DEVIL MAY CRY™️ SERIES.

Or...it's just an animatronic, actually? An animatronic Dante bursting out from the top of the cake, dressed in a shirtless sexy cowboy outfit, unceasingly spouting prerecorded lines at regular intervals with such classics as "JACKPOT!", "You can call me Dante the demon killer!", "You cut your son's arm off for this?" and of course, "I was supposed to fill your dark soul with LiiIIiGhT!"

There is a fireworks show on display at regular intervals as well, and every instance of this show ends with Cowboy Dante screaming about light - sometimes even interrupting whatever else he was saying at the time.

This sure is a thing that's happening here. ]

Who: Everyone's got mail!
Where: Hotel Lobby
When: Day 360noscope

[ Hey, is fanmail a little late this time around? Or maybe it's hard to tell. As we all know, time is fake and gold is the only thing really worth purchasing.

Also, fanmail is the only thing worth keeping around! The boxes are filling up the hotel lobby a little more than usual, though maybe that's because there are a lot more bodies to fill the hotel lobby anyway. (Alive bodies, not dead bodies. Not yet.)

Your phone buzzes—oh, it must be that time. ]

Producers: Having fun with all the new kids, everyone?
Producers: We noticed there were a few of these here, so this one must be EZclap for you! So without further ado:
Producers: Out with the old, in with the new! Reciprocation and Dress-Up are over, now it's ✨✨✨FAMILY✨✨✨ and ✨✨✨NATURE✨✨✨ for you!
Producers: Wouldn't "Nature" and "Nurture" be better theme words?
Producers: Oh well, not my problem!
Producers: Anyway, see you all laaaaaaaaaaateeeer~

[ For guest stars, however, you seem to have received a different message: ]

Producers: Hey, losers!

[ oh. Wait?

No, that message seems to be gone. You must have imagined it. ]

Producers: Hello, guest stars!
Producers: Getting used to things yet?
Producers: Maybe don't start settling in yet~
Producers: See, here's the deal. We've got a few new contracts, soooo we're changing things around a little.
Producers: Boy, you guys are popular. Lucky lucky, you could be rotting in Hell, but there are fetishists everywhere I guess.
Producers: You lucky stars who get contracts don't have to play by the competition rules~ Oh, but you unlucky bastards who don't will still have to play~
Producers: To reflect your new state of life, we're dividing up your dorms too. Competitors will get their own side and non-competitors will get their other side~
Producers: Oh, and by the way, the one who's buying all the dorm upgrades? Hey, you're only going to be here for like, ███████? You seriously wanna do this?
Producers: Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway, since all that's happening, there's also gonna be some ranking changes. It'll probably change around . . . don't panic when the numbers move up and down, okay?
Producers: Or do. Not my problem!
Producers: Oh, one last thing:
Producers: The older kids here are gonna get to judge you all at the end of the show. The most popular are gonna be the MVPs, with a ~special~ reward . . .
Producers: That's right, you guessed it! Even if your unit eats shit and loses like sad pieces of shit, if you're the shining beacon in your unit who manages to get eeeeeeveryone to like you or whatever, you'll be able to get yourself out of this hellhole!
Producers: Doesn't matter if the rest of you fall in a pit, you'll be the lucky survivor~
Producers: So generous! So magnanimous! You would think this wasn't Hell! Could this be ............ Heaven!?
Producers: LOL

[ And, true to word, the dorms have been split—it isn't a major difference in the end, as common rooms are shared, but the rooms have shifted such that the competitors are on the left side and the non-competitors are on the right side of each dorm. Guest stars will now be able to see on their profiles whether they are Competitors (Scored) or Non-competitors (Unscored). ]

[ 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: idols
Where: the game tower to anywhere
When: Day 357, later afternoon and on

When everyone's done swiping, their phones chime and a new button appears on the profiles to view matches. If a character taps through on a match, they can see their regular idol profile with their real picture. They can also message them from there.

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 now various brochures lying on the tables for exciting locations around the city. If you want to keep it classic with a dinner date, you have a huge number of dining options. Or maybe you'll have a date at the zoo? The movie theater? Karaoke? Horseback riding? The onsen? The fireworks show at Tokyo DismaySea? A night in a cabin at the ski resort? Or maybe you're the type to kill some monsters in a romantic dungeon crawl. Or to go straight to the love hotel.

Regardless, the game tower doors are open now, and the entire city is at your disposal.
