Who: All Heaven Graduates and Idols!
Where: Tokyo-F and Heaven
When: Dawn of the Final Day

Rise! And shine! And holy fuck what the shit is that.

Rising tall above the skyline of the city is a massive translucent tree, which seemingly has sprouted from the deadzone crater and is bathed in light leading straight up to…Heaven? The hotel alarms are blaring, and the maintenance fairies are for once actually present and visible - despite the fact that there's nothing broken.

They're fluttering about frantically, screaming in panic at each other while doing…whatever they're doing. You can catch snippets of their speech -

"What is that!" "What is happening?" "Where is Madame-Administrator?" "Seal off all exits!" "Prepare for separation!"

Heaven graduates, meanwhile, find that all of them are receiving a message on their phones:

Hey, wanna free your friends?

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 530

[ If you were finally getting used to the city's strangeness, brace yourselves—the glitching of buildings and environment this afternoon has turned up to eleven, whole swathes of city just . . . disappearing, like it's still rendering. 3-D geometric shapes, as though the textures were left off—before returning to "normal", except without any color. This continues to course through the entire city—and if you're caught in it, you'll find color escaping you as well, and your consciousness fades . . .

Luckier or more alert idols can witness these idols disappearing, flickering out of existence. There's no time to worry or panic about them though, because the de-rendering is coming for them, too.

The last safe haven is the Dead Zone, which seems to be completely untouched by the glitching and the color removal for the most part—however, the ground where the chain is anchored has broken apart, and underneath the chunks of rock and gravel and grass and dirt is . . . only a void. At least the broken pieces are stable and weight-bearing, floating in place for those who brave standing on them. Should something be dropped into the void, however, it will go completely missing, including idols and living creatures—and although idols can't confirm this without trying it out themselves, they have a sinking feeling that anything that falls through the void here will not revive or return. ]


UH OH | WAKE UP | TOKYO-F RETURNS | OOC POST

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 528 (night) through Day 529

[Tokyo-F is still going haywire, though things seem to maybe?? be getting their shit together???? after that awful Go Fish game.

Still, a storm blowing in isn't helping matters very much—especially since the storm seems to be more than a little haywire itself.

Some areas might be raining cats and dogs, while two steps away it's snowing gently. Can you dodge the pockets of bad weather to stay warm and dry?

Some areas might be raining cats and dogs...in plushie form. How good is your umbrella against stuffed animals? What about glittery purple rain, or snowflakes the size of your head?

And don't forget the wind. Some of the smaller creatures that have appeared throughout the city are getting tossed hopelessly about—possibly right into your face. Can you dodge your way to somewhere safe(r) before some slime in unwilling flight smacks you with an extra side effect or two?

At least everyone's still got their mixed-up powers to help keep them safe...]

[OOC: Mingle time! The general hook is that a big old storm has blown in and it's making all the ways Tokyo-F is hecked up, well, worse. I've written up some examples, but everyone is free to make up their own bad weather (just keep the event guidelines in mind!). You can also only run into good weather if you're not interested in playing with storm effects.

Otherwise, this post is open to whatever shenanigans you're up for. Game status effects, random event status effects, more unitswap shenanigans... Tokyo-F is your (fucked-up) oyster.]

Who: Naughty little fishes
Where: Game Tower
When: Day 527


[So there you are, minding your own business on a completely normal day.]

[Then you blink —



[— and find yourself, and many other idols, in an unfamiliar room.]

[The room is large and round and made of glass, like a globe. ...No, like a fish bowl.]

[On the other side of the glass walls, you can see indistinct shapes moving around, but the glass distorts the light so much that anything farther than arm’s length is just vague smears of colors and shadow blending with your own reflection. But something is there. Possibly a lot of somethings. ]

[Two formless shapes approach the glass, and as they do, their images resolve into the shapes of a pair of twins, one grinning while the other pointedly looks away from his brother. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the one who actually looks cheerful about being here is the first to speak up:]

Guess what~? You’ve been chosen to play in our very first game. Isn’t that exciting?

[He throws his arms out theatrically.]

Especially after soooo many boring games. The audience is looking for excitement and thrills here! Why not take the chance to really cement yourself as the fan favorite while you have the chance? Heck, it might even fix your little... “problem.”

[There’s a beat of silence, and he moves to elbow his brother who shoots him a “hey what the hell?” look before reluctantly facing the gathered idols.]

...Make sure you protect yourselves. Otherwise...

[He just lets the thought trail off before looking away again. His brother leans on him, resting an elbow on his shoulder as though waiting for him to continue before finally giving up and shaking his head with a sigh.]

You heard him! Give this game all you’ve got - got it?

Who: Everyone
Where: Everywhere
When: All at Once Night 526 to Morning 527

[ At the darkest hour, those who are awake will see their shadows growing longer and longer under the city lights. They stretch and stretch—and even climb up the lamps, up the sky, to eclipse the moon itself. It isn't completely dark—it's like the current light's been lampshaded—but just for a brief, brief moment,

The whole world is grey.

—and then the color returns, but not all entirely in ways that you recall them being. The sky is at points purple or green, the grass is red and glittering, the buildings seem to be made entirely of glass at times and entirely of wood at other times. Each shift in your vision accompanies a visual "glitch", like pixelated television noise, and it's horrible for the eyes and head.

It's not just the city that's unstable, either; idols will find that their own colors are mixing, swapping, glitching—sometimes it's not just the colors but entire articles of clothing, as though quickchanging in a character creation screen—to one outfit or another. Sometimes it feels like there's an internal change too—like your guts are swapping out . . . or like your heart isn't yours . . . is that your neck, or someone else's?

Another oddity: the shadows are gone, even now in the middle of the night. Occasionally they flicker back—when the building or grass is "correct", what it used to be—but they aren't there for long, and disappear once more. Your own shadow though, and the shadow of other people? Completely gone, even when you feel "correct" again.

If you're looking for any clues on what's happening, who the culprit is, you might be able to catch a glimpse of dancing shadows on the ground, whisperlaughing at each other and running away as soon as they're seen by any idol. At the crack of dawn, one shadow holds up what looks to be the shape of a cylinder—shakes it—and then "sprays" shadow paint onto a nearby wall.

#SAYOGLITTERNARA


As the sun rises, those dancing, laughing shadows disappear—only the "paint" on the walls remain—and you idols are left to deal with the rest of this chaos. . . ]

OOC EVENT INFO | IN THE LOBBY
[personal profile] idolpro
Who: you!
Where: hotel lobby
When: Day 518

[ it's FANMAIL TIME except this time the fanmail isn't in boxes they're in bags. why bags?

well, they're red bags. with fur lining. so maybe they're . . . santa bags . . . !!

Which means there must be gifts, right? Right? Which, yes. sort of.

Each bag has a dozen or so holiday decorations inside of them, and people who are caught aware (or are just unlucky enough to run into an already-opened bag) will find themselves accosted by one, with a little note of what the "cure" for the decoration is:

DecorationEffectCure
MistletoePhysically stuck in placeKiss someone (anywhere)
WreathObedience compulsionObey 10 distinct (no repeats) orders
Tree StarFall in love with people at first sightBe confessed to by your target
Light-up Candy CaneAll I Want For Christmas Is You keeps playing in your head foreverSing the full version of a DIFFERENT song with someone
StockingCompulsion to be contrary/mean/deliberately a problem to peopleGenuinely hurt someone's feelings
Tree SkirtCompulsion to dress up and RP a different personality/roleBe applauded for your performance
Plastic Miniature SnowmanMild to moderate fever, illness, shiversSleep in the same bed with someone


Once the cure has been fulfilled, the effect will fade, leaving the decoration a normal object. Until then, the decoration is stuck somewhere on an idol's body (movable, like it's metal to a magnet).

Status effects and decorations will disappear OOCly at the end of the month, so you can assume these are around for further posts!

The city itself seems to have been decorated for the holidays, with cutesy mascots and floats and Christmas lights bringing a festive mood, but be wary, because some of them are the very same cursed decorations accosting idols in the lobby right now and if you get too close they might stick to you................ ]

I really do hope you know that I don't take even an ounce of pleasure from making you play all of these ~awful games [ she's definitely all of the sincere. ] but here we are again. [ big biG BIG sigh. ]

I would be, should be, impressed that some of you managed to solve Shi's puzzles, but I don't really think that you d~i~d~. Instead, I believe there was a lot of guessing going on! [ squints accusingly!!! ] So if you enjoy guesswork so much, then have I. got the. game. for you.

Yes, and we've took into consideration your feedback about not being able to affect the outcome of the game. Magnanimous of us, I know. If you're clever enough, then all of you will be able to walk out... relatively unharmed.

Who: All the kittens tangled in strings
Where: Imeeji
When: Day 512, late afternoon

[As everyone is finally starting to get their bearings with the strings and what they mean, and maybe learning a little about what they do, the kiosk and their phones will sound with a new alert.]

Thank you to all of our fans for participating in Imeeji's
🎉 4th Season Shipping Contest 🎉

All nominated ships and ship dynamics are now being processed. With the help of your idols we will be determining the winning ships.




[The game rules app on each person's phone reads:]

- Idols have been assigned relationship dynamics determined by their fans.
- Idols are encouraged to explore and display the dynamics of these relationships.
- Idols may also attempt to subvert the relationship to drive engagement.
- Winners will be determined by viewing numbers and fan engagement.
- Winners will have the option to switch relationships back to their original settings.
- The rest will be left on the setting they are on at the conclusion of the game, please develop your relationship as you like organically from there.

SEE SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES


[With a twang, those who are participating in the game will find that their strings have been scrambled. It may not be all of them, but most of the familiar ones suddenly have new colors, and there may even be entirely new strings to complete strangers--not every ship makes sense! Time to work out these new relationships and show people what that's all about to have a shot at fixing it.]

Who: You!
Where: Gametower > Rest of Imeeji
When: Day 512, morning

[You are yoinked to the game tower as if by a string attached to your hand. When you arrive, it's just the Gametower's normal lobby, except that every surface is covered in smooth colorful strings--lines spreading neatly everywhere and leading off in every direction, including back outside or up into the upper floors.

As characters wander around trying to figure out what's going on, they'll start to notice that there are colorful strings attached to them as well--mainly to their fingers, but maybe their arms, maybe their throats, maybe other places...?? These threads, the same as the strings around the lobby, float around them like gossamer, but can't be cut, and they glint and brighten when someone focuses on them, showing their color... Where does the other end go? If they try to follow them, they'll discover some of these are attached to someone else here, and some just fade off into the distance. Sometimes, when they find a person, the connecting thread will suddenly shorten no matter the color, tying the two body parts--and the two people--together, though it will probably slacken after a while as well.

In the middle of the lobby is a large touchscreen kiosk that reads:]

COLOR:
MEANING:|________________


[If they go up to the screen they'll find they can use a color picker to put in the hex code for the color, and are free to write or dictate whatever meaning they think a color means. The kiosk also displays a couple color information lists that're empty at first but quickly starts filling up. If they check their phones, it'll also have this color/meaning form and a copy of the color lists displayed in the game rules app.]

[...Is that the game? For the moment, there doesn't seem to be anything else to it besides try to figure out who you've been tied to and what that means. Ominous...?]
