Who: Cobalt, Thorn, Senpai, and anyone else who would like to attend
Where: Mitsukoshi Ginza (Heaven Graduates Visitation Center), 9th floor terrace
When: Day 400, later evening

[ Today, the garden terrace of the Heaven Graduates Visitation Center has been transformed.

The lawn has been replaced with overflowing riots of colorful blossoms, like a wildflower meadow. It’s composed primarily of blue cornflowers, red crocosmia, and teal roses with extra-long thorns, all mixed together with a wide variety of sunflowers. In the center is a little patch of grass with picnic blankets spread out, just large enough to accommodate everyone.

Nearby, on the patio, is a long, rectangular grill the length of a picnic table, where anyone can grill their own snacks, Korean BBQ style. A nearby table is piled with all manners of meats and veggies, sliced into easily-grilled strips or already speared into kabobs, ready for the fire. Here you can find such delicacies as behemoth tenderloin, garula steak, gighee ham, and even marlboro tentacle (delicious!).

There is also alcohol. Lots of alcohol. Good alcohol.

The sun is well on its way to setting, leaving the sky a beautiful gradient of blue-pink-orange-yellow; the light is warm and blanketing—the light hits everything at just the right angle to give everything metallic a pleasant glow. A gentle breeze occasionally blows to keep the terrace on the cooler side.

At the far end, there's a carpet of flowers in Cobalt's, Senpai's, and Thorn's unit colors, directing the three of them to their respective graduation doors once they've finished saying their goodbyes. ]

graduation!

Who: Wednesday's Child & Friends
Where: A Park
When: Day 361, morning (forward dated)

[ pep!pep! and Wednesday's CR will find an invitation sent to them in the form of a text with a Goregle Maps location; it seems to be one of the many parks closer to the bay, up a small hill—one could have no doubt that this would be an outside graduation.

But the nature of the venue might surprise the party-goers: upon approaching the hill, they'll find a crown of tall cherry blossom trees impossibly at peak blossoming; even if it were the right season, it would be difficult to accurately plan the event such that even the weather was perfect. The gentle breeze is cool enough to keep the sun's warmth from being too overbearing and at the same time at just the strength to scatter a blanket of pink petals on and down the hill—though despite the number of flowers fallen the trees remain full—and the sky is bright but not unbearably so, white clouds rolling across the heavens to occasionally give extra reprieve from the soon-summer sun's rays.

At the top of the hill, the crown of trees are much wider apart than one would have expected from the bottom view, giving ample space for the laid out picnic blankets across a soft, grassy meadow. Rather than one giant blanket, each checkered cloth is of ordinary size, able to fit around 8 people or so if everyone is conservative about the space they take up—but the blankets are close enough to each other that one could simply turn their head and share a conversatiom with someone from the nearest other blanket.

The food available at each blanket is modest: some offer sandwiches and some offer bento, though there seems to be some careful consideration in mind for those in Wednesday's CR that might have special dietary needs—at least, there's definitely a certain blanket with a basket full of what seems to just be meat for certain obligate carnivores.

All told, the whole affair is quiet; no music plays like the usual graduation, and instead one may enjoy the sound of the breeze, of the trees rustling. The view, beyond its irregular season, spans just enough that one could oversee the city of Tokyo-F, as well as see the shimmering glisten of the sea in the horizon.

One last detail betrays the event's nature—a pink door with decorated pastel stars on its wood sits between a couple trees, free-standing amongst the cherry blossoms as Wednesday's exit when she's ready. ]

[The Live alert goes off to show Wednesday sitting on a couch in the lobby. Though she's all smiles and waves to the camera as it switches on, she still looks slightly but perceptibly worn.]

Hi everyone! I've been thinking about Graduations quite a lot lately. There've been quite a lot, haven't there?

[That's putting it mildly.

[This is definitely a tired smile she's giving you all.]

I'm not sure I've made my mind up what I'd do, if I was asked if I wanted to move on. So, I thought it might be worthwhile to find out what other people are planning to do when they get the chance, or maybe start a conversation about it, at least...

If this is too personal, or you aren't sure, or - anything like that... please don't feel pressured to respond. But I'd really like to know what the community thinks of it all.

Thank you all for listening!

Who: trauma party
Where: the game tower
When: Day 349, evening

[Today when you enter the game tower, you find yourself on what appears to be a large stage. The curtain lifts, showing you a packed house -- not with a real audience, though. The seats are full of mannequins wearing dramatic 18th century-style clothing.

Your hologram announcer today is a completely new Host, too! A tall and slender man with long dark hair, dressed equally dramatically to the mannequins including a cape and a masquerade mask, gestures broadly at all of you with sweeping theatrics.]

Welcome, our beloved idols and precious audience, to our latest foray into the twisted hearts of men! I, Grimoire of the Dark Sun Anemone, come to open a window to the chill of cruelty, the passion of loyalty, and the bloody battle between the two! Please witness with your whole black souls the beauty of love and despair!

And also, party games!

Faced with a choice between those they adore and those they abhor, our idols must now choose who to "wed", who to "bed", and who to "behead"!

--My goodness, aren't rhymes just lovely?

...Ah, yes! Now, fall into darkness and become your most beautiful, broken selves!

[Anemone pulls an oversized and incredibly stupid lever, and the floor drops out from under you -- you drop into a void, and all goes black.]

And what would cherry blossom viewing be without the appropriate snacks? Several boxes of bento are laid out on the blanket, as well as cookies, dango, and all sorts of drinks.]

Hey, squeeze in… I want every Pep in this shot.

Who: Hiryuu, Leviathan, Heart Soldier Senshi, sensitIV, invited CR
Where: Ueno Park
When: Forward-dated to Night 346 (after the park is saved)

[ Heart Soldier Senshis and sensitIVs and CR related to Hiryuu and Leviathan would have already received this message earlier in the day (if they already haven't heard from their unitmates): a graduation ceremony will be taking place at Ueno Park in the evening, with an additional request for formal, traditional clothes as the dress code. Though, regardless of what you wear, you're allowed in all the same—even the grungiest of idols won't be bounced out of this party.

Still, you might feel out of place; a large papier-mache dragon greets you at the street market, led by a chorus of smaller papier mache lions in a parade of lanterns. They lead you past the shrine steps and to the lush Ueno Park, where street stalls are set with ghostly vendors—the most you can tell of them is that they're bandaged, or maybe those are white scales—which provide a rich array of Korean foods: if you're looking for a meal, you could go with spicy tteokbokki or savory tteokguk, steamed dumplings or dumpling soup, japchae noodles or jjajangmyeon, chicken soup or miyeokguk; if you're a meat lover there's all sorts of braised and grilled meats, chicken and pork and beef and fish and even bear; if you just want to get your appetite whetted you could try any number of battered and fried vegetables, or plain fruits if you want something really simple; if you want desserts, there's plenty of hotteok and hwajeon and bungeo-ppang and roasted sweet potatoes and rice cakes and candies of all kinds. For drinks, you could have water if you like it plain, or you could try the sikhye, or if you like alcohol you could try the soju or the azalea wine.

Nearer to the shrine steps they've set up a number of attractions: you could pick up the microphone and sing a song or give a speech, or jjoin the ghosts in dancing with or without (practice) swords, or you could try your hand at shooting (rubber-tipped) arrows with the archery targets, or you could just wrestle with a dude if you really wanted to. Alternatively, you could take a seat under any number of the blossoming trees, and nearer to the end of the festival-like graduation, fireworks begin to shoot up in the sky, blooming brightly in the night.

There are a number of red flowers that lead to the riverbank, where a boat carved into the likeness of twin dragons—one red, one white—sits on the shore. Once Hiryuu and Leviathan are ready to leave, they can take the boat down the river, their journey accompanied by lanterns that light up as they pass, through an archway that stretches from one side of the river to the other—too thin and too steep to be a bridge, it looks more like a gate. Once the boat crosses through the boundary, it will disappear completely, taking the two—and only them—out of Tokyo-F. ]

Who: You and a lot of potatoes
Where: The Game Tower!
When: Day 343, mid-morning

[ Lantana, as usual, closes her book, and now her holographic presence is actually in the center of the room; the rope dividers disappear and you are free to move about the game tower.

Also, any potatoes your unit has in their possession explode into showers of confetti! Exciting! ]

Congratulations to BAD END=DEAD END, sensitIV, LiliS and future is now, the victors of our game today. It seems like you enjoyed yourselves. ...well, I hope AlcheME is enjoying themselves.

I'll see you next time.

[ if someone ATE A POTATO, only the people who ate that potato get that status effect. e.g. if Cardinal Chases Dawn Avanteengarde ate the vampirism potato, they are the only one who gets the vampire status effect. for you potato-eaters, if you want the effect to last longer or be permanent, knock yourselves out.

otherwise, the status effect for each potato left in your unit's possession at the end of the game will apply to at least one person (more if you want)! these status effects will last from 1-3 days. ]

[ When you arrive at the Game Tower, you're automatically dropped into a roped-off section for your unit, marked by color! You also find yourself with a basket of... potatoes?

...Fun potatoes. They're exciting colors and they're all labeled with things like "Animal Ears," "Helium Voice," "Can't Swear," "Compelled Obedience" and "Vampirism."

As usual Lantana brought a book and looks distinctly more serious than this game seems to warrant. ]

I suppose you could call this a game of catharsis.

...or if you must call it by its traditional name, "hot potato."

Who: Hiryuu, Levi, and YOU!
Where: Hotel Lobby
When: Forward-dated to Day 340

[ Hiryuu hits the Media Attention button. With the cameras turned to her, she clears her throat before behginning her inspirational speech Live. ]

Good morning. Some of you may recognize me--some of you may not. My name is Hiryuu. Today, I want to talk with you--about the future. Our future. Singularly, and as a group.

Many of you might not realize how much Imeeji has changed from its early days--but once upon a time, this stage's setting was nearly vacant and useless, and the number of idols that graced this stage was less than half who populate it today. We have comforts and options and opportunities that we could hardly have dreamed of in the beginning--not to mention all of the new friends and rivals we've come to know along the way.

Soon, I will no longer share this stage with you anymore. Neither will my partner, Levi. But I'm quite certain that you all will be going on to do magnificent things. I'm sure, too, there will be many more times of pain--of suffering and sadness. But I believe, as I have always believed, in all of you, that you will rise above the pain and the anger to make something more of this place and our collective suffering. Levi will be joining me--and we'll be rooting for all of you, from the outside, wishing for your success and the fulfillment of your own dreams--and the day that you, too, will have the opportunity to pursue what lays for you beyond Imeeji.

Never give up hope. Never give in!


[ Levi simply looks smitten by his master. But when he realizes it’s his turn to speak he reaches out, grasps her hand, and nods. ]

Both the princess and I have been told it is our time to graduate. Truthfully, there are many individuals that I am going to miss. I know that everyone here will continue to work hard, and we will both of us, of course, continue to do the same ourselves.

Invitations will naturally go out before our graduation date. However, before then we’re wanting to spend as much time as possible with everyone before we go.

So please indulge in a little self-care with us. Drink some tea or hot chocolate, eat some cookies, and come and sit down and visit before we leave. Because enjoyably getting visit with others will be what I miss the most.


[ He’ll indicate the table near them which is full of snacks and drinks, as well as the many chairs, cushions, and pillows they have dragged out for everyone to make themselves comfortable with. ]

[Here, approximately 35 miles from the nearest person, the campsite’s picnic area and outbuildings are empty and fake, and the grounds and surrounding trees tranquil and dusted with snow. Luckily, the skies are clear, even if the temperature is low. But that’s what Thermo Dynamic is for.]

[Food-filled coolers are unloaded, a propane stove set up, and TP delivered to the outhouses. Gladio sets down an armful of camp chairs by the firepit and picks up a mallet and some plastic stakes]
