BARiTONES - UNSCORED BONDING BARTEND SESSION

[idolpro]

[ At some point in the nebulous post-game future, the unit is summoned to the Game Tower, and directly to a bar.

The bar is unit-colored with light unit paraphernalia, although it's all just for show. Fortunately, comfort isn't part of the unit aesthetic this time—all seats are cushioned, whether the booth seats or the bar stools, comfy and lush. Idols can sit anywhere they like, it seems.

There's alcohol available, but everything else is locked behind the wall-cabinet. . . the recipe book is also available to peruse at one's leisure.

Ah—the door opens, and a fuzzy sort of shade steps in. It looks like idols will be serving the Damned, today. . . ? ]

INFO

[idolpro]

• It's a bartending event! Idols are tasked with requests from their customers.
  
• Each request requires a different task—drinks made with coffee as a base require truth-telling, drinks made with tea as a base require empathy bonding, and drinks made with juice as a base require memory sharing. Flavorings determine what kinds of truths, emotions, and memories should be shared.
  
• Requests do not give exact recipe names deliberately, and there is no maximum for how many parts can be added to a given drink. That's up to idol discretion!
  
• Fulfill as many tasks as possible within the week! If you run out, ping Youji and they will add more for you :|b

Clarifications:

• The tasks idols will be doing are the base ingredients! The flavorings determine what kind of vibe will be given, e.g. COFFEE + CLUB SODA = A SHOCKING TRUTH. Idols can also do MULTIPLE THINGS and then only use some of the ingredients if they want, e.g. SHOCKING TRUTH + SHOCKING MEMORY = club soda x2, coffee, tea.
  
• Memories cannot be controlled when shared! They can narrow memories down to a specific VIBE but they cannot choose a specific thing, and new memories are on the table so even if they only remember 1 very sad event rn that doesn't mean it's the only memory for them on the table (unless you want to show that memory only ofc).

Notes:

• Once the drink is completely mixed, effects from that drink wear off, but not before then—so someone can be doing an empathy bond and also a memory share at the same time, depending on the drink.
  
• Just in case: if NSFW comes up in memories/etc, please note it in the subject line and tap your unitmates for comfort before having your character share!
  
• Yes I did steal this from Genshin thank you for noticing that this is the best event in this and any game in existence

MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[idolpro]

ORDER 1

[idolpro]

"Hey! Hey, it's my birthday! You know what that means? It means I get to drink a cream soda! Mommy 'n Mama'll even let me get the special stuff! They said I could order too, so. . . that's what I want! Yeah!"

ORDER 2

[idolpro]

"Could I just get a basic drink? No additives, no caffeine. I'm trying to watch my weight."

ORDER 3

[idolpro]

"Oh! I had this drink the last time I was in Japan—it looks like you have it on the menu! Could I have that with some chocolate, please?"

ORDER 4

[idolpro]

"Hi. . . could I see the menu? . . . o-oh, haha, wow. . . all of these are really expensive. . . I-I'll just get a soda, thanks. . . nothing special."

ORDER 5

[idolpro]

"Good morning. . . Ugh, I really need to get myself together. Could I get a drink that will wake me up without caffeine? I really can't handle the stuff. It's fine if it's bitter."

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

[Just looking over the recipes.]

Do we need to give the second order something more lively? They sound incredibly dull.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[abovefate]

It would be boring if we gave them what they asked. Let's spice it up, mm? How about caffeine and alcohol.

[failedsafe]

[lily is looking through the recipe book.]

I wonder if there's anything new here...?

[abovefate]

We can make our own if we want.

[failedsafe]

[Lily smiles always glad for improvisation.]

We can, yeah! But I like learning, too. Got nothing on Yvie, but maybe I'll surprise her sometime and that means increasing my arsenal!

[abovefate]

So what do you want to start with? I'm not doing anything troublesome.

[failedsafe]

What counts as troublesome for you in this context? Aside from most things.

[tradesecret]

The menu is based on real drinks, but it's limited; so feel free to experiment.

[failedsafe]

Yeah, I see some nice goodies here, and you're right about the limits, pah!

[she wanted to add to her repertoire but looks like that's not happening today. But that'snot really the point of being here is it?]

[failedsafe]

AGREED!

[tradesecret]

You can always use the menu as a base, then adjust or add things to your liking. The customers may enjoy your perspective, too.

[failedsafe]

[sounds like a pretty big "may" but who knows. can't hurt to try.]

Guess we'll see how that shakes out then, probably literally in some cases! Where do we start?

[tradesecret]

Reviewing the orders and seeing which base drinks would work best. Then we would determine if any variations could be made. Once we've established what we're serving, then we can focus on sourcing "ingredients."

How does that sound?

[failedsafe]

[she pumps a first into her hand.]

As expected. Sonds great to me!

[tradesecret]

Do any of the orders sound interesting to you?

[failedsafe]

The birthday one, for a start!
