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 it's 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

[marsascending]

[ hmm this seems like it could be better-organized. Let’s move that ice-cream cart to the kitchen, and the teddy bear to the playroom? And the gnome to the... bedroom? Listen she has no idea what humans use those things for ]

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.

Re: Kitchen

[marsascending]

[ there’s an ice cream cart here now. ]

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

[purrrnicious]

[DOES, IN FACT, TAKE A NAP RIGHT NOW.




The bed is hers suckers good luck with the game.]

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

[marsascending]

[ there’s a teddy bear here now. ]

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.

Re: Bathroom

[innerdaemons]

[ HE'S GOING TO BE A RESPONSIBLE PARENT and pocket that box of matches. no fire starters for naughty children. ]

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

[innerdaemons]

Oh, what an adorable ... thing you are!

[ SETTING THINGS ON FIRE MOMENTARILY PUT ASIDE, he'll lean down to pet dog ]

You be good to the children, now, won't you?

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.

Round 02

[idolpro]

You have become professional toymakers on youtube! Did you know you can make a lot of money unboxing toys for kids? Uh yeah. You make a lot.

You're rich. You're the talk of the neighborhood. In fact, a lot of visitors pass by your house everyday. You might catch them peeking in your window even. Did someone try to steal your dog in the backyard??? They were unsuccessful, but man there are some problems living in your house these days.

If you ever step out of the house to yell at your fans, you can get a decent view of the neighborhood. Every day, people come up to your house to take pictures. You might get a family knocking on your door.

Your house is now completely filled with empty boxes and toys also.

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.

Re: Exploring

[innerdaemons]

[ being a parent sucks, actually

SIGH!! WELL, trying to organize the empty boxes and toys as best as he can. put empty boxes in reycling and toys on shelves... ]

Restaurant

[idolpro]

[You made it to the restaurant.

In this location, you'll find it quite rustic and homey. The food is country style, leaning towards home-style cooking and comfort food.

There's a fireplace nearby with a cast iron skillet chilling over the fire, and some nice candles decorating the top of said fireplace. Knickknacks and old timey photographs like the wall. There are also wooden tables to sit at with old lanterns, and of course your salt and sugar packets. There's even a cute peg game for you to play. Leave 3 or more pegs and you're a dummy.

Attached to the front of the story is a candy store, but it also seems to sell some bath items and clothing, and more toys for kids also.

Yes, the great Bracker Carrel.]

Re: Restaurant

[purrrnicious]

. . .

Uh, so where's the food?





[SHOULDN'T IT BE JUST THERE OR SOMETHING???]

Library

[idolpro]

[Congrats, you have made it to the library! It is a large place where there are books everywhere you look (this is a library), but you can also rent and find a lot of multimedia equipment also. There are even computers that you can explore here.

Tables, chairs, personal study carrels, chairs to lounge in . . .

There are also people here! They're just mingling about quietly, looking at books, maybe taking a nap? But you're not alone in this place.

There's also a librarian at the front desk.]

Re: Library

[marsascending]

[ cool she lives here now

she's going to a) read a bunch of books about archaeology because really she's been slacking there and b) see about checking out some better video equipment to up their youtube stardom game ]

School

[idolpro]

[Welcome back to school!! Who wants to be here though?

It's a big school with hallways filled with lockers and classrooms galore. You can explore the cafeteria to get that wonderfully delicious (potentially a lie) lunch food, or check out the gym. If you imagine a class rooom subject, it's here. There's a library, too.

Kids might come up to you and ask you a lot of questions though cuz what's a bunch of weirdos hanging out at an elementary school??

Also, you can check out the principal's office if you want. But why would you???]

Re: School

[tradesecret]

[ time to test her own comprehension by tutoring small elementary schoolers ]

Museum

[idolpro]

[Here is a classy two floor museum, filled with all sorts of ancient artifacts. As you could expect, there are plenty of portraits to look at, any from rare artists, but there are other art pieces as well. Papercraft, statues, masks, all of them are high priced art pieces.

Besides that, you can find places to sit and rest, or talk to one of the museum guides. There's also a gift shop you can visit! It has souvenirs! Maps, keychains, postcards, travel guides, miniatures of all the actual art pieces! Maybe more!

People seem to be enjoying the educational tours, but there are also videos that seem to be covering the various exhibits.

Bathrooms exist here as well, don't worry.]

Re: Museum

[marsascending]

[ time to experience CULTURE and ANCIENT ARTIFACTS, which is primarily what she's focusing on looking at here

she'll also ask a museum guide a lot of specific questions about the purpose of said ancient artifacts, relative era of manufacture, etc. ]

Scenario 02

[idolpro]

Well, your toy unboxing YouTube channel might be making you rich, but it isn't long before you get a call from the local school's PTA. Apparently the Society for Concerns Moms (SCM) is unhappy about your YouTube channel. You're teaching children bad things! You shouldn't be around them! Just look how you're tormenting your own kid (Kohime), what good parents would do something like that?

What do you do about this problem?

Re: Scenario 02

[purrrnicious]

So we conquer the "P-T-A" and suppress them. Duh.

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]

So! You dug up all the dirt and watch them fight each other. It turns out that many of these families have had ties with the cops around this neighborhood, slippin' them some "bonuses" here and there, and likewise, to the schools. While you sit and eat the dinner that you totally didn't scam out from the local restaurants, you can watch the PTA selling each other out. A scammer recognizes another, right?

So sure, maybe there were legitimate concerns about your unboxing channel, and maybe that's a conversation for another day, but it seems THESE parentss just didn't like you or the way you looked/acted. So you made sure that they got caught, and there isn't a PTA anymore. And of course, you only become even more popular. As your media presence becomes even stronger, you start to extend your reach beyond just videos . . .

What kind of power can you have when you have the power to influence?
