Where: Game Tower

[ The Game Tower's vibe today is pretty chill—the elevator music is comfortably jazzy, which means clearly nothing bad will happen, right? Right.

Hallways lead from the elevators to unit-colored doors, which are heavy enough that two hands are needed to open them. Why are bar doors so heavy? —so that customers can leave their burdens behind when they go through that door, of course.

(references to niche manga from the aughties intensifies)

Anyway, the rules aren't on anyone's phones; instead, there's a cute recipe book behind the bar counter, along with a few mixers and all the ingredients, which are. . . perhaps unusually, locked behind the wall-cabinet. Well, it's not that unusual if it was closer to the customers, but the units are presumably the bartenders, right? Why's it all locked from the bartenders? The only thing that's actually available is the. . . alcohol!?

There aren't any keys in sight, either. . . Well, this has to be a game somehow, right? ]

[ Wherever they are in Tokyo-F, certain idols feel it: a strange and sudden pang of hunger.


—And the next thing they are aware of is the distinctive chime of the Game Tower's elevators as their doors open to release them to a series of long hallways: one for each unit, and a soft but distinctive nudge in that direction. It's almost more like an instinct, except for the part where (if they hesitate too long) they begin to feel themselves physically pulled along, as though by a phantom hand tugging on theirs.


It seems the long hallways themselves are screens, televising… white scales? …the coils of a white snake, and either the camera is zoomed in very close or the snake is very, very large. Hadassah's voice echoes over the loudspeaker, warm and (of course!) welcoming. ]


Here in Tokyo-F, we have been blessed— to see truly powerful displays of passion:
Devotion, rage, sacrifice! Through sorrow, joy, and death, our stars have shone with that light which guides all of us through even the darkest of times. These are the stories of IMEEJI~ ✧

Now, together, let us return with them to the very oldest story of all.
Perhaps our long-time viewers will remember this one, but no tale is the same in every telling.

This is the story of hunger.



[ With that, those who aren't already in their unit rooms are given one last invisible push, and the doors shut behind them. ]

Who: Kino, pep!pep!, invited CR
Where: Mitsukoshi Ginza, 9th floor
When: Day 445, afternoon

[ Friends and unitmates of Kino's will receive invitations earlier in the day to something called a "multi-world tour," hosted on the 9th floor of the Mitsukoshi Ginza.

When they arrive, whether by staircase or by elevator, they'll find the whole floor has been rented out for the ultimate multicultural foodie experience: numerous food stands line the floor with representative dishes, not just from modern Earth but from different planets and, indeed, different Earths. (Watch out for the space booze—it's strong enough to knock a person out!)

Each order of food is just a small sample, about two or three bites, sized such that one can go around experiencing the various gastronomic delights, and there are also smaller take-out boxes if one desired bringing back souvenirs.

Speaking of souvenirs, at the stair and elevator entrances are goodie bags with each guest's idol name on them, along with unnamed extras in case any outer visitors decide to stop by. Within each bag are little candies that correspond to each food stall along with a plain gold chain; as one tours the area they'll receive a small pendant to attach to the chain to serve as a reminder of the food they tried.

The whole area flaunts a blue and dark green color scheme in ribbons and streamers, save for each stall which has decorations reminiscent of that culture. There's also a path of dark green footprints that go to each stall before ending up in the terrace, where plenty of tables and beverages are available. There's a microphone available on one of the tables, should one feel like making a speech.

At the far end, nearest the garden, is the door for whenever Kino is ready. However, the dark green steps aren't painted here—that next step is for Kino to take themself. ]

Who: Secret Agents
Where: the Game Tower
When: Day 444, evening

[The next time you walk through a doorway, you find yourself and a handful of your fellow idols gathered in what appears to be a very elegant, very expensive-looking cocktail party venue. The gleaming, golden chandeliers and the flickering tea lights on every white-draped and flower-covered table give the room a moody atmosphere that helps to make everyone look even more beautiful and refined—a look that is also enhanced by the fact everyone is now wearing only the finest bespoke suits and slinky cocktail gowns.]

[On the table around which you are all gathered is an old-fashioned cassette tape player, which begins to play a recording (narrated in what might be a familiar voice to some):]

Good afternoon, Idols.

Today, all of you are spies. Somewhere in this room are your contacts, and the only way to identify them is through the use of signs and countersigns. A “secret password,” if you will. However, all the other spies around will be watching you, listening, trying to identify your contacts as well. This must not be allowed to happen.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify your contacts without tipping off any other spies. You must also attempt to discover which other units are working together. This will require cunning, discretion, and resourcefulness.

As always, should you or your contacts be discovered, the Production will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This message will self-destruct in three seconds.

Good luck, Idols.


[Three seconds later, the tape player explodes in a puff of flower-scented smoke and a spray of confetti.]

[At the back of the room, the owner of said voice (a tall, scar-faced man with antlers) is standing behind a bar, polishing a glass. Beside him, wearing a matching bartender uniform, is a short man with even more facial scars and a curtain of dark hair neatly framing one side of his face. Behind them is a floor-to-ceiling shelf of expensive, ornate bottles... which may be fine drinks, or might just be sodas and fruit juices. It honestly could be anything.]

[Spread across the tables is a banquet of the finest hor d'oeuvres Tokyo-F has ever seen—little finger foods of caviar, pates, cheeses, exotic cured meats and fruits, as well as an abundance of vegetarian options and little finger desserts.]

[Welcome to the party]

Who: Maids, Staff, and Customers!
Where: a building near the hotel, aka Maid to Self-Care Healing Café
When: Day 439

[ If you pass by one of the abandoned buildings near the hotel, you'll be able to see a big sign outside—♥ Maid to Self-Care Healing Cafe ♥—or maybe you'll catch the announcement being Live broadcasted. Your usual favorite maids (sensitIV!), accompanied by some smartly-dressed members of BARiTONES, waving to you from around a smaller sign that says:

"Proceeds toward medical care and ambulance upgrades! Come visit us!"

[ Inside, the first floor of the abandoned building has been transformed: one half has been draped with sensitIV pink cloth, decorated with cute squishmallow pillows and cute ribbons; the other half is draped with black cloth, with similar squishmallows and ribbons. Both sides are divided by hospital-like partitions. Closer to the door are a few tables that have definitely not been stolen from the dining room (please do not look to verify!) and chairs that have definitely not been stolen from the lobby (please believe us!) to set up like a café, with an even distribution of tables and chairs between the pink and black. Speakers play gentle jazz piano in the background.

Farther back are what seem to be lounging areas—in the pink corner there's a massive pillow fort, and in the black corner there are a few opaque tents, also divided by hospital-like partitions, and are surely meant for sleeping and not anything else, absolutely.

A door on the pink side leads to a hallway, at the end of which is a room with a television and portable karaoke set. Across from that room is the makeshift kitchen-slash-break room, where there are a few chairs and coolers for the foodstuffs, as well as a side entrance for the employees.

A door on the black side leads to another hallway, which has smaller cubicle-like rooms with blankets and pillows, where drunks can go take naps if they need, or where the sinful can get more privacy.

Every maid has either a red ribbon and bow wrapped around their waist and/or a black one—from how the menu looks and from how the floor is divided, it's clear that red-ribboned maids are doing "hearts" activities and black-ribboned maids are doing "spades" activities (and maids with both ribbons are doing both). Each maid is also equipped with a cute bag that contains... cards and poker chips?

Notably, right next to the door is a printed paper following payment options: you can pay 200 points to choose your maid, or 100 to get a randomized one by poker chip. Likewise, special activities are 50 points each… or 25, to get a random one from your chosen menu (or a 20% discount if you get five!). There's a QR code with each payment option; scanning it automatically takes out the appropriate amount of points, depending on what you pay for, and each maid has access to a list of paid guests that updates upon payment. ]

Where: Hotel Lobby
When: Day 427

[ What?? The fans just left, and now they're back again—or at least, that's what it sure looks like with the shadowy figures in the hotel lobby accompanying the boxes of fanmail, right?

But idols will only catch sight of the fans briefly, before the Damned are herded out of the hotel, though not without leaving behind various gifts and goodies: "THANK YOU" cards with well-wishes and bouquets of flowers and boxes of little cakes and cookies, though some of them are . . . not so innocuous in intent.

In specific, sensitIV, BAD END=DEAD END, and avante en garde might find poison or razorblades in their gifts. . . which sucks because these units might also be experiencing some difficulties as well. . . . or, maybe they've acquired some souvenirs for the occasion.

On the other hand, WILD CITY, ☆ZRAEL, Heart Soldier Senshi, AlcheME!, and BARiTONES will feel particularly energized, and their fanmail is #blessed, which is to say that there might even be one or two useful things in the fanmail*.

(*must be carryable and non-magical, but may be a weapon—please note in the points shop if you're getting a firearm!)

Finally, everyone gets a notice on their phone: by the end of the day, Hell Graduates and Transfers will have to say farewell—so, spend the next few hours wisely. ]

Where: Cooliseum
When: Day 425.

[ clears her throat, takes a deep breath, and then starts in with her own unique brand of special... right into a megaphone! ] 야! I'm Sponsored by Mountain Dew® & Doritos®'s D.Va, the senshi formally known as Meka, live at Tokyo F's very own ~*~ Cooliseum ~*~ for a spectacularly awesome new event that you, YES EVEN YOU, should absolutely come be a part of.

[ ghidorah, death song of three storms is manning the 'camera' for this particular live and if her obnoxious astounding introduction didn't catch your attention, then the exorbitant amount of fireworks that follow surely will. ]

The coveted [ (x) doubt. ] title of 'Commander of the Cooliseum, King of Kings, Queen of Queens, Jack of All Trades, the Unrivaled Sovereign of Planes, Trains, & Automobiles, and All Time Karting BAMF' is on the line for the dynamic duo that captures the most flags. [ ... ] ...oh! and this trophy too! [ she jerks a thumb at a trophy made of scrap car parts, its crown boasting a colorful bouquet~ of unit style flags. ]


[ There are definitely people who would, at this point, be wondering what the heck they'd gotten themselves into. Not Lupine, so much. He just muffles a laugh into his fist. ]

...Like the lady said.

[ Is it a problem that he doesn't know how to drive? Well, if it is, it's a very common problem in this live.
]

[Looking over at the other two before smiling a little nervously at the camera.]

Well~ Fortunately, I’ll be around to provide medical services to anyone who needs it, so even a rough game like this should be safe for everyone even if your driving skill level is a little low.


( ooc; IT'S A BIG CHUNGUS 12 UNIT LIVE, so that's 1950 + 200 'Couples' Theme + 600 for Host Bonus. If I mathed wrong please LMK. The basic jist of the not!Mario Kart Double Dash Live is that idols pair up, find a mode ( ANY MODE ) of transportation, make a team flag, and then hustle around the Cooliseum trying to capture opposing team flags. Play using the rule of fun! or if you'd like to leave it to all to chance, then .roll1d6 to "attack/defend". Higher roll is the successful one 😘 ]

RESIDENTS OF TOKYO-F!!!! THE DIVINE DRAGON LUNA HAS ONCE AGAIN, LIKE, TOTES OWNED THE DEMONS OF THIS REALM IN AN EFFORT TO BRING YOU THE GIFT OF LOVE! I'd love to visit myself but I guess I'm like, even more kill on sight than I already was? And like, it's not like they can do anything to me but it's like soooooo annoying to deal with? They intercept every message I try to send too, even if it's to my wife! And that's not even because they think I'm dangerous or anything, they keep trying to tell me something about a "spam filter" or whatever, because I guess they can't handle sixty letters a day? As if.

So like, anyway! That's why I'm hijacking their stream! Now watch my blessing in action! Oh, and whatever garbo demons are watching this?

QQ MORE SCRUBS GGWP (GET GOOD WHY PLAY)



[ Idols also receive a text message: a cryptic countdown. . . countup? The six-digit number changes every second, randomizing like a lottery number, but the numbers never match up.

Something's going to happen. . . at some point. Sometime. Probably?

Then, at once, like some Kingdom Hearts Nobody Bullshit, a number of portals open up in various parts of the city. Instead of antagonistic fuckos though, the people who come out look more familiar and (probably) less antagonistic—they're all Hell Graduates or those who were transferred out of the program!

The city has already changed to accommodate the new guests: across the street from the hotel is a mirror version of the hotel. Here, Hell Graduates have access to their own unit-themed suites, along with whatever additional rooms they submitted for in advance. Transfers likewise have unit-themed suites, but theirs is only the basic room. ]

Who: Everyone
Where: The Game Tower
When: Slightly forward-dated to 422

[When you enter the Game Tower today, the room is empty of anything except for a single, large book. It stands propped against the far wall, and the text within is in stunning calligraphy, illustrated in the style of an old-fashioned fairy tale.]

[It reads:]

Once upon a time there was a tale, and it was a tragedy.

Countless hapless souls were carried down to the depths of hell, where they were locked away to suffer for all eternity.

But here is the truth: all stories, before they are complete, can have any ending that the author chooses. Before the final chapter is penned, no tragedy is guaranteed to be a tragedy at all.

And so we lay our scene: not on the bright streets of Tokyo-F, where the heroes and heroines of our tale spend the pages of their lives, but in a between-space, the held breath after a period and before the start of the following sentence.

Here, there is a blank space waiting for words to be written, a pause for those who need it to catch their breath.

Here, there is time to pen an interlude before the next chapter begins -- to write about a moment of healing, amidst all the chaos.

Consider it, if you will, character development.

[No sooner has everyone gathered for the game than the book, and even the Game Tower itself, flickers and begins to disappear]

[Instead, you find yourself surrounded by liminal space. There is an ever-present twilight glow, and in the distance and all around, the air is filled with countless softly glowing stars]

Where: The hotel lobby
When: Day 421

[Today the dining area in the lobby has been taken over by what seems to be party decor, though the decorations are fairly minimal. There's a cornucopia stuffed with fruit, some pumpkins and flint corn and various other fall decor. It isn't too out of control though because frankly, the whole rest of the space is taken up by the food. And there is a lot of food]

[There's turkey and pork loin and prime rib, and stuffed acorn squash for the vegetarians. Then come the sides: mashed potatoes and potatoes au gratin; green bean casserole, roast root vegetables, and honey-glazed carrots. Plus the Thanksgiving traditionals: stuffing, sweet potato casserole, fresh-baked dinner rolls, and cranberry sauce]

[Dessert gets its own table, and it's laden down with apple pie, pumpkin pie, and both chocolate and pumpkin pudding. There are also drinks: a variety of conbini teas, juices, coffees, and sodas, as well as homemade apple cider]

[also, when you enter, there is a friendly mannequin holding a HAPPY TGIVING sign. But look out, as it seems to be motion activated (or someone’s pulling the strings) as it will randomly twitch and squawk when someone walks by. Festive!]

[The camera pans around the room, where a rep from every team is set up for their respective lives: Izanagi, Nemesis, Ren, Felicity, Alizaren, Yvette, Rye, Klaus, Eichi, C, and Serenity. After the camera makes the full circuit, Hurricane's voice speaks from off-screen:]

So, uh. We been here a while and I don't think we ever done nothing for Thanksgiving before? Anyways, if you don't got that one where you're from, it's a holiday where it's pretty much an excuse to hang out with people you like, eat a whole lot of food, and be glad for the stuff you got. So come on down and grab some dinner and a couple points if you got the time.

[Izanagi pops into the camera with a cheerful wave.]

It’s a good way to relax and unwind for some self-care, right? And if you’ve got fidgety hands, you can join in by making your very own work of art simply enough!

[He holds up a picture of - yup, that’s a hand turkey.]

Fortunately, the instructions for this cute li’l guy are super simple, so I’m sure anyone can make it easily enough!

Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 419

[The next time you walk through a doorway, you inexplicably find yourself in what looks like a large living room. It's crowded with clusters of couches and comfy-looking chairs, each arranged around a coffee table topped with bowls of finger foods. You can see snacks such as crackers, grapes, cookies, and so on... things that are easy to idly pick at while enjoying each other's company. The rugs on the floor are plush and soft, and there are cushions scattered around that look perfect for sitting on. There's some quiet lofi house music playing from somewhere.]

[Amidst all of this are a couple of guys who might look familiar to some. One is a tall man with antlers and a scar across his nose and cheek. He's dressed casually in a blue plaid shirt and black jeans. The other is a short guy with a long, dark, side-swept undercut and too many scars to count. He's wearing a loose t-shirt in gray and teal, and he's leaning against a nearby wall and munching a cookie.]


Guess who's got two antlers and got their host application approved! This guy! And you know what they say: be the kind of host you want to see in the world. So I'm back to run the kind of games I want to play. ...And that means hanging out and eating snacks, basically.

So grab some drinks, make yourself comfortable, and let's play a card game!
