future is now

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a car.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform/servant uniforms, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME% in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly levelled to the ground, with few survivors.

But you seem to remember - you survived, didn’t you?

...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.

Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

- Danger has never been so elegant or appealing until one model made it their brand. Your heart will be stolen with just one look.

- Raddest fucking teen in Tokyo-T doing sick kickflips all day. Loyal, unflinching, will punch your haters for you.

- If I die by your hand, I'll be happy. After all, it means someone else got to live. If this is all I can do to help, then let me help you! I hope from the bottom of my heart you're all okay after this. But in return, come find me afterwards, okay? Let's become friends, for real.

- Upvote if you have the guts.

- Kind, thoughtful, a steel magnolia blossoming in the snow. Lover of quiet moments by your side, with a book and a cup of tea. Ready to defend with a kind gesture or a blade. Let her into your heart, and watch her benchpress a truck.

- I also don't want to die. Do you think the rest of us want to die? If you really don't, put a little more effort into it.

- drop by my place tonight and my guitar won't be the only thing i finger, baby.

- What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? Ill have you know I graduated top of my class in the Imeeji Productions Screening, and Ive been involved in numerous secret raids on all these dumb games, and I have over 300 confirmed wins. I am trained in gorilla warfare and Im the top idol in the entire Tokyo-F armed idol forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this HELL, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the hell-net? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of demons across the hellscape and your smartphone is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youre fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and thats just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of abilities I bought will ALL OF MY POINTS and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldnt, you didn't, and now youre paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

- Go ahead and kill me, you motherfuckers. I know where all of you live.

- I am the Queen of the Universe. The waters part, they engulf me, and the water is warm.

She's sassy, smart, and supportive. Can you really vote out the triple S?

[idolpro]

[ You fall down, down down…

straight into the trash bin.

And some sort of grey orb falls in behind you. More trash? Ah, but it’s ticking. Tick...tick...tick. You smell sulfur rise up into the air, and...ah...maybe you should get out? But even if you know what that means, even if you struggle to escape - the ticking just gets faster with every desperate attempt to scramble up through the other garbage, with every fruitless attempt to climb up the walls of the bin. No, struggling just assures your doom comes even faster.

And then it explodes. And it’s not a quick, painless death - you can feel every single part of your body come apart, pulverize, and burn away. Shrapnel lodges itself into flesh, and by the end of it all you’re an unmoving wreck. Darkness comes, eventually, once you realize nobody’s coming for you.

But at least once you’re back with the rest of your unit, you’re all sewn back together again - sure, you’re not sure why someone would even bother struggling when it just makes things worse, and your body is barely functional, held together by string and glue - but at least you’re not dying anymore. That’s nice, isn’t it? Another chance to be worth something! ]

[ Oh

She's not sure she's ever felt anything more painful than that. At least it's over now, even if that just means...laying here. It's so much easier than trying to keep standing. ]

[ You fall down, down down…

straight into the trash bin. And along with you falls a shimmering orb which explodes into a beautiful cloud of glitter after making contact with one of the other bits of rubbish. It doesn’t seem that bad at first - maybe a little itchy, but it’s not the worst that could’ve happened.

And so you’re there for a few hours. And minute by minute it grows worse, more intense. But it’s slow and building and honestly almost maddening - and worst of all, you don’t notice when you start idly scratching at your skin. But as time goes on it becomes absolutely unbearable, and eventually - ah, it feels like you need to tear all of this off, doesn’t it? Your clothes, your skin, your flesh - anything to make it stop! Skin flakes under your fingernails as you claw at yourself, tearing your own body apart. And yet - it still doesn’t stop. The itching doesn’t stop at all. Your blood, by this point, is flowing freely, and the only mercy you receive is that eventually you’ll pass out from the blood loss.

But at least once you’re back with the rest of your unit, you’re all sewn back together again - the itching is still present, just barely below “unbearable”, but at least your skin seals back up a bit. That’s nice, isn’t it? Another chance to be worth something! ]
