Where: Around the hotel
When: Day 427, night (slightly forward dated)

[ it's a very ordinary night with nothing strange happening ]

idolpro

Who: You! Not them!
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 427, midnight & early morning

[ In the middle of the night, an alert suddenly goes off—not on idol phones, but rather, fan phones. Idols nearby can hear fans talking about the contents anyway, or otherwise whatever gossip they're talking about.

Even idols who aren't interested will understand, broadly, what the alert means: from now until the sun rises, fans will be either shuffling off, disappearing upon crossing doorways while holding what looks to be ticket stubs, or knocking on unit doors to ask for final requests before they have to leave, or otherwise write a list of requests for idols to fulfill after they've gone.

Either way, by the morning of 427, the fans have left Tokyo-F, and the ominous counter on every idol's phone has reached 000000.

Transferred idols and Hell Graduates are still here, though, with the mirror hotel still accommodating them. Their time will surely come soon, but until then, they can enjoy Tokyo-F for a little longer.

Idols receive a text message as well: ]

Producers: Well done on your first fan meeting, idols!
Producers: Please note: while parting is bittersweet, fan requests are still valid. Don't disappoint your fans and keep working until the last request has been fulfilled~~~!

[ And indeed, idols will still be able to fulfill requests (and experience the consequences of rejecting enough requests) for some time longer. ]

Who: Angel and You
Where: In the Lobby
When: 425, Noon

[Angel is sitting a chair within the lobby, lounging in quite an exquisite zrael looking number, appearing quite smug at the camera. The normal bubbly Angel has been replaced with Angel who is Looking Down Upon You.]

Isn't this cute everyone? I got a kind request from a fan asking me to declare myself as the new ruler of Tokyo-F? It really is a cute request! After all, I don't think it needs to be said, but I already consider myself the ruler of Tokyo-F.

Here, let me show you.

Who: Popular idols and you
Where: Hotel Lobby
When: Day 425

[There are a table and some chairs set up inside of the front entrance. Hurricane and Nemesis are seated there like those kids looking for passers-by to sign their petitions or sponsor animals. A beaten-up and repurposed sign at the table says "Free ~~Cheer~~ Fan Help". A glitter-covered addendum tacked to the wall indicates that 'the consultants are IN']

You're prolly wondering how to keep your crazed fans happy, 'specially now that they're in grey arm's reach. But maybe you dunno how to both cut off your own head and eat 40 cakes at the same time. What do you do? You ain't paid to think--but we are. So, come on by and we'll give you some smart ideas to get through this thing with limbs and/or dignity (mostly) intact.

Who: Unfamiliar faces?
Where: Tokyo-F
When: Day 424, morning

[ The cryptic countdown pauses: 999999.

Then, the video feed turns on. Who's this—why, it's Man☆Eater! ]

A big ol' congrats to our final winner, who requested: "PLEASE MAKE C KING OF HEAVEN"! Now, we could make that happen for you, but where'd be the fun in that? And hey, we've got a special occasion to celebrate: the start of our fourth season! If the third time's a charm, the fourth's gotta be even better, right? Gyahaha!

They say you should meet your heroes... eh, or wait, was it the opposite? Oh well, too late! 'Cause guess what, you lucky rascal? Instead of sitting back and watching all the action through a screen, you're getting the once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet the man himself! No accounting for taste if you ask your host here, but hey, go bask in his divine presence or whatever! Gyahahahaha!

[ the video shuts off before further explanation can be given, though fortunately you're receiving a text message: ]

IMEEJI'S FIRST HANDSHAKE EVENT BEGINS
FULFILL FAN REQUESTS TO BECOME MORE POPULAR ♥

[ And the ground begins to shift . . . there's a rumbling sound—an earthquake?

—no. Those are the sounds of footsteps . . . thousands of them, all at once.

Wherever idols are, they'll be able to see the streets and buildings are being invaded. Not by imps, not by demons, but rather, monochromatic people—sometimes just silhouettes, shadowy facsimiles of people rather than people themselves. Though they look lifeless, the energy they bring with them is overwhelming. Suddenly, the empty once-plastic city feels like it has the population to justify its size, and every building, communally upgraded or not, now accommodates the visitors, with non-upgraded buildings revamped inside to be bare-bones sleeping quarters for the . . . just how many people are here, anyway?

Perhaps more intimidating than the abrupt number of the Damned in Tokyo-F is the fact that they're all wearing. . . idol merchandise. Jackets with idol faces on them. Headbands. Lightsticks.

And. . . wherever you are, they're there. To get your signature. To shake your hand. Maybe to ask you to do something.

Idols will have to deal with this for . . . some time. The cryptic countdown has started again, but this time it's ticking reliably, though slowly, down.

Incidentally: far from the hotel, tall white walls have been erected around Honmachi Sakura Park. They're not magical walls, though—it seems determined idols can use any number of methods to climb over the walls to get to Heaven. It looks like it's largely there to keep fans away. . . ]

[Have you ever used the video room? Did you know it's another way to gain points? Maybe respond to fanmail or maybe just enjoy virtual settings from your memory. There's virtual dates, too!

If you take the stairs up from the lobby to the mezzanine, there is only one door: the door to the vid room. You program it with your scenario and step inside the holodeck, which will generate your fake scenario. An easy way to earn points. A key posted right outside the door tells characters what character traits they should be aiming for during filming.

[THERE'S A SPOOOOKY RINGING BELL THAT BECKONS YOU TO THE GAME TOWER. When you get there, it's decked out in halloween decor, including lots of seasonal costumes (AND some fancy dresses and suits for some reason??), a graveyard, a haunted house, spooky forest, a pool, and like, whatever else you might want or need.

A hologram of the sheep host is lounging about, dressed as a vampire, sipping wine.]

BAA! I mean, boo! Hello little lambs, it's the season for spookiness! But also. . .a season for memories!

We're playing Monster Bingo again~ But know this, my spooky sheep, prom is also right around the corner! Which Monster of Mayhem will be crowned Prom King and Queen? That's up for you to decide!

Who: Bell, future is now, invited CR
Where: Shinjuku Gyoen
When: Day 411

[ Everyone in future is now receives a text that primarily contains a location: the northern part of Shinjuku Gyoen's park. Though, even if they're not good with directions, they've got a guide for them: wherever they are, a thin path of flowers begins to bloom, even in places impossible for flowers to grow—inside buildings, on pavements, anywhere and everywhere. The flowers disappear into soft glows of light upon reaching them, though they'll reappear upon stepping off the path, as gentle but persistent guides to the park.

The northern park has been transformed for this graduation: the normal benches have been done away with to make room for a vast, colorful meadow. Felled tree trunks shape out to make tables and chairs for the guests, but even those have flowers sprouting from the sides. Weather and time of year clearly don't seem to matter here; though it's a chilly October day everywhere else, the area here seems to be a warm spring day, with tulips and daffodils and azaleas in full bloom—even the trees are full of life, peach and cherry blossom flowers brightening the skyline.

The spread available for invited guests is—well—similar to the atmosphere, in that there are a lot of things here that don't quite seem like they should exist during this (or indeed, any?) period of time. Honestly, it seems like someone took a bunch of food and drinks and Gadgeteered them together. What does a blue raspberry soda burger taste like? Aren't you excited to find out?

If a guest is not keen on the synthesized food, there's also traditional Japanese food available to eat, as well as a couple carts full of vegetables, looking like they were freshly pulled from the earth—they glisten under the light, as though having just been washed before being put out on display.

A carpet of blue flowers spirals out from the center of the meadow, leading to an archway of flowers, under which is an opaque white light—like a portal to another world. ]

But something else has returned with some of you.

Top-tier units will find themselves . . . perfectly fine! They don't have any injuries on their person, they don't need to be revived, they're all good. A-OK. Okay, yes, some people may still have a few status effects, but they'll clear up within the next day!

Mid-tier units will find their skin splitting open as their injuries return—not to the point of fatality if they had fatal wounds, but certainly to the point that they're, you know. Not okay. Just shy of debilitating.

Lowest-tier units will find their skin splitting open as their injuries return in full, instantly killing them. Note: if they died multiple times, they must be revived multiple times in order for the revival to stick. If a character died in Session 1 and in Session 2, on their first pep!pep! revival, their wounds will reopen and they'll die instantly again.

Mid and Low tier units with status effects will find them still quite present for up to 2-3 IC days. At least unitmates don't set off any urges, but everyone else? Is that a gamble you want to take?

Who: Tsukasa, Aether, Izanagi, and you...!
Where: Hotel Lobby
When: Day 404

Good day, Imeeji.

[ Tsukasa appears, standing between Aether and Izanagi after hitting the live button, a smile present, and naturally, dressed in his avante best. He’s in the lobby, and of course, surrounded by a number of snacks in order to meet the feast requirement for a live. ]

It seems lately that we have been confronted with one unpleasant event after another. Even I have felt troubled recently by our lack of reprieve. And so, I desire to bring us together, no matter the unit, in a way that we can all enjoy.

So let us create Circles! ♪

Support groups are fun and good, but creating a circle of those who share like-minded activities will allow each of us to create new memories and bonds together. Circles are essentially similar to clubs. Informal gatherings for individuals to enjoy one another’s company and a shared interest.

As an example, Biblion, a group for book lovers. A circle for tea ceremony-- whether formal or informal, archery, a sweets fan club, or even baking. It can be anything at all so long as individuals gather together to share experiences with.

[Izanagi gives a quick wink!]

Besides, we have lots of new faces around here, don’t we? This is a great chance to get some self-care in by relaxing and making connections with others outside of your own unit. Unitmates are great, but having more people you can rely on outside of games can really help ease the burden of all the crap we go through around here!

Not sure how to get started? Well, once you have a group going, just chat about that! And if you decide you’re curious about getting to know the others individually, we’ve even got ice-breaker cards you can play with look we need to get a bonus in here somehow, just go with it.

[ Aether is drinking caffeine (and they tried to get him to put it down before the live started but he refused, but will pause and also chime in once the others are done. He's extremely … chipper this morning, even for him. ~~It's not the caffeine. He doesn't have a problem.~~]

We're also encouraging competitiveness in a more progressive environment. I think it would be good to have small competitions or games in your circles with a prize for the winner. It can be small, it's just the push for positive recognition of winning a game and not feeling like crap about it. With any luck, you'll all learn something from each other that will help you get… Better! Faster! Stronger! — that sort of thing!

Now, show everyone what you like, get like-minded people and new people into your circles, and then show us what you're good at! Everyone's got something.

[ Lifting a hand up to his lips, Tsukasa chuckles. ]

Fufu... you sound like an avante right now. Perhaps you also enjoy good competition, Aether-san? Thank you for helping. ♪

I agree with him. These are just meant for informal fun. And to hopefully find some like-minded individuals to gather with and spend time enjoyably. I know I, for one, would enjoy fellow duelists? Or perhaps others to enjoy the occasional sweets with. And if we can all have a little fun in our clubs, whether through competition, play, or just enjoying each other's company, then all the better.

So come, let each of our noble units partake in our sweets feast today-

[ Because it is all sweets. Sorry. ]

--And enjoy one another's company while forming various circles to hopefully move forward together with in the future. ♪

[OOC: 800 points for SensitIV, Avante, and HSS. 550 for everyone else with the theme bonus! Feel free to have characters tag normally and or make a top-level for a circle they think would be fun, and see if others bite!]
