future is now

[idolpro]

[And the rave ends just like that.

As soon as you blink, you find yourself standing right in the center of a living room inside a quaint, pink house.]

ACTIONS

[idolpro]

You can submit it individually or all at once, it's fine either way!

Round 01

[idolpro]

If you submit between 6PM PST- 10PM PST today, you'll get a response right away, but any actions submitted for r1 afterwards will get results around Monday, 3-4 PM PST.

Start - Living Room

[idolpro]

The starting room is, of course, the living room! This is DEFINITELY where one gathers as a family, right? The bright pink walls might seem a little obnoxious, but with the light coming from the windows, it does at least seem cheerful. And you can always leave out the front door if you decide you can’t stand it.

Inside, it has what you would expect perhaps: a tv, a nice rug, a pink couch set, a lamp, a stereo, a small bookcase, and pretty landscape paintings that decorate the walls. There's even a nice fireplace!

It also has a few odd items: A gnome statue, an ice cream cart, and a large teddy bear.

There are stairs that seem to lead up to a hallway of bedrooms and a bathroom, and also a door that leads to the kitchen.

Re: Start - Living Room

[resonantblue]

My first game on my own! I'm so nervous...

[pacing the room excitedly]

Hey, um, shows happen on that box, right?

[guess who doesn't know her technology as well as silence]

Re: Start - Living Room

[asonoficeandfire]

[that's a lot of... pink.

inspecting the room at large, poking his head into the kitchen briefly to look for other FiNs]

Kitchen

[idolpro]

The kitchen is in fact . . . a kitchen. You have an island with chairs for everyone to sit around. There’s also the familiar items that goes in a kitchen: an oven, a fridge filled with food, silverware, a coffeemaker. You also have pots and pans, and a large window overlooking the sink. There's also a door that seems to go into the yard.

But again there are some weird objects that also happen to be in there: a cactus plant, a pair of handcuffs, and playing cards.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He's definitely taking the playing cards for himself. And eyeing the handcuffs with the most unsure expression]

Re: Kitchen

[resonantblue]

[still rambling to herself as she enters, pulling ketchup out of the fridge]

...that was the most unsatisfying, so we need to fix that, definitely, and—

[stops to look at the door going into the yard]

Master Bedroom

[idolpro]

You find yourself in a nice and cozy bedroom. It feels quite nice, like you can take a nap RIGHT NOW.

There’s a queen size bed which you can lie on filled with pillows, an extra blanket, a dresser with clothing, a full body mirror, a houseplant facing a large curtained window, some cute paintings on the wall, and a computer that you can browse on. There's also a treadmill!

Like all of the other rooms, there's some weird things in here: a bottle of mayonnaise, a barrel of water, and a voice-warping microphone.

Re: Master Bedroom

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Wanders in here and well. There's the computer. And a microphone. That might be useful for Song.

And some... mayonanaise.

Okay?

Grabbing the computer and microphone to take back with him when he hears Song calling. Hope it's a laptop or this is going to take multiple trips]

Play Room

[idolpro]

This place is pretty big for a play room! In the playroom, you can find all sorts of toys including a bee car, some swings, and a giant dollhouse. There's also an empty crib, a toddler bed, a toybox filled with generic toys, a kid craft table, and a tablet with various kid video apps.

There is of course a window, but for some reason, it has iron bars across it. Feel free to also rest in the tent or the floor sofas as needed. And whoa, there's a Leftendo available.

Some weirder things you can find here: a car door, medicine, a single rock.

Re: Play Room

[resonantblue]

[grabbing the tablet and... Leftendo? looks computery enough for her]


...

[also gives the car door a passing glance, what,]

Bathroom

[idolpro]

It's a bathroom.

The bathroom has your bathtub/shower combo with all the necessary shampoo, bubble bath, glitter bath bombs, and soap. It also has a medicine cabinet which holds your basic first aid + makeup. And of course, basic standard bathroom things like toilet, sink, towel rack with towels. You can also find a rubber ducky!

Some more non-standard things include a jigsaw puzzle, an empty picture frame, and a box of matches.

Scenario

[idolpro]

It seems that you're doing just fine in your house. However, it might be a good idea to get some money! This could involve looking for a job, but you've heard there are some great incentives to starting a family business.

However, if you did start a business, you'd have to agree on just what it is that you're gonna sell!

Or is there another way you can come up with money?

Decision

[idolpro]

This will be due 4 PM PST, Monday.

Yard

[idolpro]

You reached the yard! It’s bright and sunny out at the moment with not a single cloud in the sky. Over here, it's a nice grassy field with a court to play all the sports on, a flower bed, a tree with squirrels chattering above, and a hot tub for some reason.

Also a potato dog just chillin’. He's got a real nice fancy dog house and everything, with a dog bowl for water, food, and a nice bone.

Re: Yard

[resonantblue]

[making a cautious beeline to the puppy, not engaging just staring at it]

—IT'S ADORABLE!

Round 02

[idolpro]

Your tech support business is a success! It seems people always need help with their computers. And you find plenty of blackmail in the process, too. However, there are some concerning rumors surrounding you. . . warnings not to engage in business with you unless one wishes to have their private affairs aired to the public. That sort of thing. The people in the neighborhood seem to think you're super shady and steer clear of you at all costs. Unless they have a tech support question.

Meanwhile, the commentary you provide on these low-budget TV shows proves to be rather entertaining for your neighbors. You've got a regular column in the neighborhood newspaper now. Congratulations!

If you step out of your house to tend to your business, you also get a nice view of the rest of the neighborhood.

ACTIONS

[idolpro]

You can submit it individually or all at once, it's fine either way! You still have the house but you can also explore the neighborhood.

Round 02

[idolpro]

ALL ACTIONS WILL BE REPLIED TO BY TOMORROW, 5PM PST.

Exploring

[idolpro]

You still have your house you can explore and perform actions with, or you can choose to go visit out in the neighborhood.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Checking out the theater. They have the schedule and everything]

Theater

[idolpro]

You've made it to the movie theater.

As you can see when you get to the ticket booth, there are severla films playing today, of any genre you can imagine. Romance, Comedy, Horror, Thriller, Kids, Fantasy, it's all there! The stars seem to feature Left and Right for a lot of them though...but whatever the case, there are at least a ton of options.

Beyond the moviesm, You can find life size cut outs of movie characters and witness the posters on the wall. You can also go get popcorn or candy from the concession workers if you feel a bit peckish. There's a cool fish tank for decor also.

And yes, there are bathrooms though they could be cleaner probably.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Are there cardboard cut outs of Right and Left available?]

Jail

[idolpro]

[YOU ARE GOING TO PRISON.

Well the front desk anyway. They won't let you go through any further. A tired lookin' lady is sitting behind the desk, giving you a look. There's a nice fake plant in the corner.]

State your Business.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You know, having a jail right next to a residential area makes the property value drop like a rock.

Is the crime rate that high?

Scenario 02

[idolpro]

So it seems wherever you go, you're being followed now.

You're not sure who it is that's following you, but it isn't exactly a warm and calming presence. It's possible it might be cops considering you literally walked into their building. That secretary didn't seem to like you either. And you DO have a reputation.

Perhaps that reputation also brought along some unsavory types looking for revenge also.

You swear even at home, you see shadows passing by your windows at night.

What do you do?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

He sets up traps all along the house, that's what he does. Unfortunately he doesn't have the materials to make a snake pit, but you better believe he has surveillance set up all around the house (and throughout some parts of town). And tripwires and fake recordings flash bombs and DIY guillotines (only for chopping off hands though. Come now, he's civil).

Seems pretty on brand for the girl who gets a little too excited when she sees blood and her older brother with the bad reputation.

Come try to catch these introverts on their home turf unaware.

Exploring

[idolpro]

You still have your house you can explore and perform actions with, or you can choose to go visit out in the neighborhood.

Final Results (?)

[idolpro]

It seems you had attracted the attention of one of the Grand Kings of the criminal underworld?! It doesn't take long for you to catch them, and how you take care of them . . . well, that's up to you. But is it a surprise if they suddenly disappear? Probably not!

And you find out why they've been stalking you. A bunch of thieves and a snitch had alerted that the cops were doing shady business (a total surprise, right?) and so the cops have been taken out of their power. That leaves an open position for someone to take it. These crime kingpins want to take it, but they were aware of your own position of your power and were going to attempt to take it before you could expand yourselves. You foiled their plans, but that leaves something for you to consider.

If there is power in front of you to grab, would you take it ... ?
