JULY EVENT

(the 24th)

✦ ✦ ✦

It's been a long month for the Fallen Stars. For those signed with the Rising Star Talent Agency, it has been a month of rehearsals; A grand debut show is set to happen at the end of the month, one which will hopefully create enough love and happiness to save Wonderment Amusement Park from its Cinderella curse. If the two idol groups and theatre troupe can pull off a miracle, then the amusement park won't disappear at midnight and the spirits will retain their playground.

And meanwhile, for the more combat orientated Fallen Stars, it has been a month of climbing stairs and facing their inner darkness. Twenty-three floors and twenty-three boss battles later, the team has finally cleared MirrorMe's entire mirror castle. Well... Except for one last floor. At 11:59 on the 24th of July, the final floor is set to open. What will be at the top, no one is quite sure. But if it's anything like in the last timeline, then MirrorMe themselves is about to make a grand reveal.

But that isn't the only source of stress for the 24th. Because for the idols and theatre troupe, a little wrench has been thrown into the plan... Well. Maybe it's a big wrench, actually.

Entertainment Industry: Theatre Troupe Update

Up until now, the theatre troupe has been rehearsing a fairly straightforward storyline for their play. It is a short origin story to celebrate the Kami of Curiosity, whose power is celebrated in the month of July. It is the story of how the Kami of Light and Kami of Darkness gave their collective power to the Kami of Love, and how the Kami of Curiosity came to help protect the city with her. All told from the perspective of a Heroine, who gets the power to find truth from a Mirror Spirit...

But when rehearsal starts on the morning of the 24th, the agency producer has an announcement. There has been a drastic change in the plot due to the writer being unhappy with how rehearsals are going. Apparently the entire company thinks that the play is missing something and they've decided to instead turn it into a drama. The Kami of Curiosity will now be portrayed as a last minute twist villain, who tries to prevent the Heroine from telling the world about the secrets that she uncovers. They've also thrown in a love story between the Kami of Love and Kami of Curiosity in order to spice things up. Even more stressful: There is a new actress coming to the show playing the role of Kami of Spacetime, but she cannot attend rehearsals. Everyone needs to practice around her and be ready to wing it... Which the professionals may recognize as being unusual for modern theatre.

But despite any protests or concerns, the production has to go on with these changes. The agency staff is just as baffled as the actors and will be trying to negotiate more rehearsal time, but they cannot risk giving up this precious debut stage... They say that the script is under NDA, but they also don't know about Starnet...

Entertainment Arc: Idol Update

: C

Things are far less chaotic for the idols. In idol group A; Ai Hoshino is the center, while Baby Bonnie and Theta will be supporting her. In idol group B; Odette, Rika, Sawyer, and Pidonus will share center stage due to their even group number. Both groups have been given two songs to perform as units and one group number between both units.

Tensions are beginning to get higher. Costume fitting will happen soon and the seven idols are doing some interview events to raise hype for their show. They'll be rehearsing more frequently in the upcoming week, but the staff is already planning to give them a week long vacation after the show. They'll all be allowed to invite a +1 to the cottages during the first week of August.

MirrorMe Event

: C

Lastly. The final floor of MirrorMe's castle.

The staircase leading to the final floor is longer than usual. It is structured in a tight spiral that raises meters high. The floor below gradually falls into shadows and the glassy steps seem to disappear into the darkness. But after two minutes of climbing stairs, the Fallen Stars see a light above them. For those getting powers from the event, this floor seems to call for them. They can feel its pull on their soul and will be more inclined to reach the top.

They exit onto a floor made entirely of mirrors. The reflections under their feet show different versions of themselves; Both parts of themselves that they're proud of or ashamed of, and maybe haven't realized to be true about themselves. MirrorMe themselves stands in the center of the room and their appearance changes for each person looking at them; They always look like a mirror image of whoever is looking at them.

This portion of the event will be a mix of handwaving and chances to converse with MirrorMe. If you want the handwaved portion, please make a MirrorMe toplevel with "HANDWAVE" in the title. You'll get a random piece of information, details about your character's new powerset (if applicable,) and a summary of how the floor ends.

For those who wish to converse with MirrorMe, please make a MirrorMe toplevel with "CONVERSE" in the title. Conversations will only last for 7 mod comments. Thank you for understanding!

After July 24th, MirrorMe's castle will remain standing until the end of the month. The staircases to the upper levels disappear and it returns to simply being a mirror funhouse.
