egg raising event - LiliS

[idolpro]

[ Hm, what's this?

Whatever you were doing before, you're sent to the Game Tower now. It looks like you're the only ones here, though—?

You'll find yourself in a spacious cave with a skylight. It's dark in the sky right now, but there are soft star-like lights hovering around, harmless to the touch. The ground is carpeted with soft moss and grass, and despite the size of cave, it feels rather homey and comfortable. Even if there is a massive feathery beast in the middle of the cavern.

It glows, not so brightly that it's hard to look at, but a soft chromatic light that pulses with its breath. Currently, it's perched on a nest made of . . . books? Books, jewels, clothes, parchment—all valuable things, to be sure, though some are odd choices for hoarding.

It lifts its head, looking toward you with a gentle, intelligent stare, before directing its head to an off-shoot cavern decorated with a banner of your unit's color. ]

[ Your cavern offshoot is still rather spacious, even with a human-sized egg pressed to the farthest cave wall. It's also surprisingly accommodating: the ground here is carpeted with lush rugs as well as pillows and blankets.

The egg is surrounded by a number of colorful smooth stones, most small enough to hold in one palm. There are eight colors in total, though multiple of each color. Hold a stone and you'll be compelled to speak honestly about the corresponding emotion.

You'll quickly find that your offshoot seems to have reduced echo, or perhaps even sound muffling—from here, you can't hear anyone from any other unit offshoot, and you suspect they can't hear you, either. ]

RULES

[idolpro]

• You are here to help a dragon hatch its baby!
  
• This dragon requires emotional energy. It's up to you to help the dragon hatch an emotionally healthy child.
  
• To do this, you'll be doing tasks with your unitmates, with each task intended to evoke a corresponding emotion.
  
• Tasks may be repeated if desired.
  
• You do not have to do every emotion. It is up to you to decide what emotions are necessary for this egg.
  
• You may alternatively (or additionally) have a plain ol' feelings jam for that emotion. Don't want to tell your unitmate something they did that made you feel disgust? Then you can talk about an experience you had that reflects that emotion. Honest talks only!
  
• If you have difficulty talking, you can optionally hold a stone of that color. It causes conditional truth effect: you'll be under a truth effect only for that specific emotion for as long as you hold the stone. (Yes you can force people to hold stones but if you're both holding one stone you'll both be compelled to tell the truth.)
  
  
• While idols are playing, they'll find that their honest emotions are visible as colors of light radiating off of their silhouette. Attempting to touch the light deliberately (vs just trying to touch another idol) will result in keying directly into that idol's emotions.
  
• Additionally, idols are temporarily alleviated of LobbyQuest status effects that hinder their ability to play (e.g. blindness, muteness). These status effects may return after the game, should the player choose.
  
  
• Abilities are on, but harm may not be done to any idol nor their surroundings. The attempt will simply bounce off.
  
• Items are on, but any items used to do harm will crumble into sparkles and will not be restored at the end of the event.
  
• Turn-in is due in 48 hours. This is entirely for the purposes of hatching the egg, so don't worry too much.

TASKS & EMOTION COLORS

[idolpro]

Note: you do not need to do all tasks (though you can if you want to). It is up to you to decide what emotions are necessary for an emotionally healthy child.

If you decide to fulfill an emotion, everyone should participate in that emotion. However, they can choose between which they want to do, e.g. if you decide to do Anger, then person 1 can take the first option and person 2 can take the second option, but both must participate in Anger for it to count.

If no one on the unit is capable of fulfilling that emotion's tasks, please note that in turn-in so the gamerunner knows for fairness reasons. Being capable but not willing does not count.

Anger (#D50000/red) Tell a unitmate something they did to make you angry. Talk about your hot buttons, or otherwise things that make you angry.	Anticipation (#FF7E00/orange) Tell a unitmate something that you'd like to do with them in the future. Talk about your plans for the future after Imeeji.	Joy (#FFE953/yellow) Tell a unitmate something you like about them. Talk about something that never fails to make you happy.	Trust (#53FF53/light green) Tell a unitmate about a time they hurt you. Talk about a weakness, vulnerability, or otherwise a secret that you're sore about.
Fear (#009700/dark green) Tell a unitmate something about them that scares you. Talk about a fear or trauma that keeps you up at night (or equivalent level of intensity, for sensitIVs).	Surprise (#008AE1/sky blue) Tell a unitmate something about yourself that you think will surprise them. Talk about a time that your expectations were betrayed.	Sadness (#0000C9/dark blue) Tell a unitmate something about them that makes you sad. Talk about something you've been recently sad about, or the last time you cried (out of sadness).	Disgust (#DF00DF/purple) Tell a unitmate something you judge about them. Talk about what makes you feel ashamed, or something that makes you feel contempt.

If you want to put in extra emotions, you can make your own toplevels and add them in. Check this list first for which emotions already have colors—if it isn't on this list, ping Youji with your emotion's toplevel and I'll give you a color!

DRAGON

[idolpro]

[ As the event ends, the egg glows with the colors you've imbued into it—then, it begins to hatch.

With joyous crows, your dragon breaks free of its shell, little wings flapping and stretching themselves out. Once they're fully freed, a warm light comes from the Mother Dragon to the child, lifting it up and allowing it to float and fly.

It zips around, greeting each of you with happy, playful crows, before floating to the Mother Dragon. ]


Result: ✨Incomplete✨

A dragon that struggles. It faintly recognizes that it has inherited complicated family feelings, though perhaps if it closes its eyes it can pretend those feelings don't weigh it down.

It's quite concerned about its family. It's not sure, exactly, what this feeling is, but—suffice to say, its family brings it abundant joy, and surely that's enough reason to care.

Such an incomplete dragon that it has difficulty remembering what it does not remember; as a result of its incompletion, its primary color is fragmented. However, even with all of its complicated feelings, it knows it belongs, and finds security in that. With its horns and its wings, it will surely grow to rise above the struggles.

(By the way—it does like to cuddle.)

Likes: Isekai, found family, stories about cultural diaspora
Dislikes: Stories about heartbreak and loss, complicated stories especially ones that feature abusive families (it just doesn't know how to digest those so it's a little intolerant)

GENERAL DISCUSSION

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION

[ouji4board]

Oh, this is like that cooking game! But better, cause dragons.

ANGER

[idolpro]

Re: ANGER

[letgrow]

I don't...really get angry very often. Something that makes me angry though... Double standards. Or rather, being treated like someone who isn't dependable?

I don't think it's fair or right to think it's okay for one person to do something, but not yourself or someone else. I used to run into this a lot where I was supposed to lean on people...but they didn't want to lean on me or trust me with their worries in return.

It feels bad. To be expected to only receive concern. And not be able to repay it. It makes you feel like you're being treated like a child when you're supposed to be their friend or fellow exorcist or teammate. It makes me mad at myself.

Re: ANGER

[ouji4board]

I get pissed off when the people I care about are insulted. Even if they can shake it off, I end up getting mad for them.

ANTICIPATION

[idolpro]

Re: ANTICIPATION

[letgrow]

I'd like for us all to do something together. Our interests are all so different...so it's a little hard to pick something. And maybe you both would rather not. I think something like a day at the beach though...or going shopping together...or even just cooking a meal. Something like that would be nice.

Re: ANTICIPATION

[ouji4board]

No idea what I'm going to do when we leave! I want to go home with Five and Hardy, but I don't think that's going to work! Also, who knows what I'm going to do back there. But I don't really want to stick around either. So... I guess we'll see when it happens.

JOY

[idolpro]

Re: JOY

[ouji4board]

(HAPPY THINGS )

Re: JOY

[letgrow]

It's probably a tired answer, but...my friends. Both the ones from home and the ones from here. I've been very lucky to meet so many interesting people. My world is constantly getting bigger. Every day since I've met Rin has been exciting. There are bad days and there are good days, but they're new and full of wonderful people and I know that tomorrow will be another new day. Since leaving the garden, I've had the chance to make many wonderful friends and experience many new things.

TRUST

[idolpro]

Re: TRUST

[letgrow]

A weakness? Q. Though I should think that much was obvious. She makes really cute and cool expressions that can knock me down without a single blow. I don't even stand a chance. I'm sure I sound biased, but I think a person is allowed to be biased towards the person they're dating.

FEAR

[idolpro]

Re: FEAR

[ouji4board]

( here because we failed at keeping things straight )

SURPRISE

[idolpro]

Re: SURPRISE

[letgrow]

...I try not to have many expectations. I have a lot of expectations of myself and sometimes I fall short, but betrayed...? Mmm....that's just setting things up for failure. The times I've had expectations of people, it has gone terribly.

So I'll just settle for the time I tried to summon my familiar. I really expected Ni to show up....not thousands of imps. Q and Pink would agree with that one.

SADNESS

[idolpro]

Re: SADNESS

[letgrow]

I miss John. And Heliotrope. And Lavender. And Mr.Sunflower. And Azalea. And Hyacinth. And Arlo.

I get sad because I don't know if they're all right. All I can do is hope. I believe in them to manage on their own and make their own happiness. I just miss them and would like to know that they're okay instead of just wondering.

I miss people from other teams as well. And people from home. It's just hard, because there's nothing I can do for them here other than look after myself. That just doesn't feel like nearly enough.

DISGUST

[idolpro]

Re: DISGUST

[letgrow]

...I absolutely bought the qipao knowing it would work Q up. And then I acted like I didn't know that it would have that effect on her.

I'm sorry, Q. I was cruel and deceitful. I feel properly disgusted with myself for my sly tactics.

COMPLICATED FAMILY FEELINGS (COLOR)

[idolpro]

[ u don't have to comment here if it happened in gen discussion already this is just the color reference zone ]

[ A few stones begin to change color into Complicated Family Feelings (#645452/wenge). Your silhouette may now turn wenge with complicated family feelings. ]

Re: COMPLICATED FAMILY FEELINGS (COLOR)

[letgrow]

There are...a lot of things I didn't realize growing up. A lot of things my mother didn't tell me. Expectations about the sort of life I would live that I only learned about later that I had been groomed for all along. Even some of my memories had been suppressed. I love my mother, of course. I can't help but feel more than a little blind sided though. Things are changing, but my life wasn't meant to be my own.
