The Long-standing Prancijanian tradition known as the Smug-Off was carried out. Your OG Hobo faced a Clutz in three intense challenges. It was full of twists, turns, Snips, and Snaps; but only one could be the winner! The one who kept the honor of recording in this old place! And it was your favorite haughty lady, Nariko Edamura! Now, you’re experiencing the fallout of it, it appears the Receptionist has rescinded her offer to Vortexia, and is only interested in having the Bluesberries on board.

“Now Amber and crew, let’s get that paperwork done. Shall we?” The Receptionist smiles at the crew. Ajna fidgets.

“I’m not done talking to you!” The big Clumsy Vortexia is beyond herself!

“Clutz, even if I gave you another opportunity, you couldn’t even put the poster up.” The Receptionist can’t stop throwing jabs.

“I-I’m calling my manager. You can’t leave me dry after our agreement!” Vortexia knows she’s legally in the right.

“Huh? He shows up more than once a day? Lucky you!” The receptionist smiles. “Anyway, papers, papers…” She moves to her desk to look for what she needs for your band’s registration.

Debbie wants to say something, but she can’t find a good moment to raise her voice. The others don’t seem interested in the Clutz’s problems, you can tell by how Ajna vibrates, it’s a form of communication on its own. Nariko is just happy to have won.

What do you do?

>Stand up for the Clutz. There’s no reason to kick her out of here.
>Sell the idea to the receptionist that after this Smug-Off, having this Clutz around as Nariko’s rival is good business.
>Not only stand up for the Clutz, but try to recruit her for your agency (name pending).
>Get these papers done. Like, you need to get past this hassle as fast as you can, regardless of what happens here, this won’t be the last you’ll see of Vortexia.
>Write In.

Votes:

Votes are counted until 25 minutes have passed. This rule doesn't apply to the last reply of the day.
Votes that require a dice roll are counted until 15 minutes have passed, so we can speed up the process. Rolls are counted until 10 minutes have passed, so be prepared!

(NEW) Dice Mechanic:

We always roll 1d100s!
Since most people weren’t happy with the system of averaging top four rolls, we’re using best of 2/3/4 depending on the attribute a prompt requires. If Johnny is a genius and it’s a Knowledge based roll, he gets more rolls (Max. 7)! If he sucks, he gets less dice (Min. 2)!

When asked for rolls, I will specify how many you’re going to get. Rolling begins after it’s asked.

Rolling 100 is a critical! There are no Critical Failures anymore!

The difficulty of the roll is tied with the effectiveness of the action. In other words, the harder the option the better the result!

Don’t forget that at the end of the day, this is a story-driven quest! What the prompts are describing is more important than the difficulty of the rolls, for results in a fight.

Again, rolls are only counted when they are posted within ten minutes of being asked, so watch out!

“A word if you don’t mind.” You feel like it’s time to interfere on Debbie's behalf, and, well, yeah, you tend to help people for no good reason.

“Just give me a sec, those documents should be in here. Whoever sorts these out has no sense of orderliness.” The Receptionist sounds slightly apologetic for the first time.

“Actually, it’s about Clutz.” You rub the back of your neck. “I don’t think there’s a good reason to kick her out here.”

“E-Exactly!” Debbie appears with a full smile on her face after the initial surprise. “We maintained our space! We don’t care about punishing her needlessly! I would hate myself for handicapping younger vibrant talent!”

We don’t?” Nariko seems slightly disappointed, she wanted to cause more pain to her rival. “I suppose we don’t.”

“This is surprising.” The Receptionist stops looking for the papers to look at you all to see how serious you are. Realizing that you mean it makes her eyes open wide. “Very surprising!” She smiles. “But I’m afraid this doesn’t really affect you, so leave it as is, okay?”

“On the contrary, it does. After all, you’ve got all that video material you can use for your social media marketing.” You point out. “Idol fanatics love idol rivalries, followed by team-ups, then breaks, then re-team-ups, etc. Hell, just mock up two posters of them laughing dastardly alone, and one facing each other, they’ll sell like gangbusters.”

“Impressive business sense. That’s a manager for you!” The Receptionist is receptive about your reservations. “Even if it doesn’t pan out, it’s worth a punt. Clutz, you remember the other posters I told you about? Pick another one to replace.”

“Huh, it’s simple to change your mind.” Nariko is pleasantly surprised.

“You gotta be flexible in this business, Snip-Snap.” The Receptionist winks at your OG hobo. “Now, I can't find the papers, I’m gonna make a quick call to ask where they are. Be patient with me.” She gets busy with her phone call. You have no other option but to wait for her to sort this out.


In the meantime, the evil idol is standing behind you all, she watched the entire exchange in silence.

“Aren’t you going to thank us for our unlimited kindness?” Nariko smirks.

“...I only want to know the real reason why you did this.” Vortexia refuses to utter any words of gratitude until she makes sure of your real intentions.

How do you respond?

>“You heard me.” Don’t over-explain. The Clutz will have to figure it out on her own.
>“Don’t be dumb. We don’t hate you. The Smug-Off was fun, wasn’t it?” Shrug.
>Push Debbie forward. She’ll answer for all of you.

You all look at each other, almost expecting someone else to answer the question, nobody has a clear idea as to why, but you can *feel* that you know. With that in mind, you believe the one most fitting to answer the question is the one who started it all! Not like, she started the duel, she’s a victim! The victim who started it all! Debbie!

“I’ll let her enlighten you as to What’s good©.” Wow, you said your own catchphrase wrong somehow. What’s the matter with you? Everyone will notice and call you out like the massive fraud you are! This is as embarrassing as being Ame! Anyway, you gently push Debbie forward to indicate that she’s the one taking the lead to answer.

But Debbie wasn’t prepared to be pushed even as softly as you did, she steps on top of her own foot, loses her balance, and tries to hold onto Vortexia for support, but the complete clutz make this worse by trying to grab Debbie by stepping forward and misjudging the distance — making the Blueberry tackle Vortexia to the ground.

AAAH~!!!” Vortexia screams as she falls.

“SORRRRRRY!!!” Debbie shouts as she brings her opponent down. Thankfully, the blue idol let go off Ajna, allowing you to pull the fragile girl into the safety of your arms.

“W-What’s your problem...?!” The Clutz says as she rubs her hurt bum. “I-Is this your answer?!”

“N-No! I-I just lost my balance…!” Debbie didn’t want this to happen. “I would never try to hurt you on purpose! I’m clumsy like you! We’re very similar people.”

“How many times do I have to tell you all that I’m NOT clumsy?!” Vortexia will never agree to her very fitting nickname. “And I’m nothing like you. We’re a complete mismatch! Two tornadoes clashing!”

“W-What I’m trying to say is that I’ve been there. I had a not-so-helpful manager who left me abandoned to the deep end. Nobody believed in my abilities. And I was out of my depth, so lonely and dejected…” Debbie smiles.

“...You’re projecting a little too hard here.” Vortexia acts a little disgusted.

“I’m sure I am! But I relate to you regardless!” Debbie reels this back to the topic. “And I know how much a helping hand can make a difference to a struggling artist!”

“I-I’m not struggling, I haven’t debuted yet…!” Vortexia feels like her entire story has been misconstrued. “Also, can we stand up?!”

“S-Sorry!” Debbie stands up like Vortexia caught on fire or something. “What I’m trying to say is, you need all the help you can, and we’ll be glad to be in your corner!”

“You’re awful at encouraging people...” The Clutz can’t believe this.

“P-Please, she’s trying her best.” You beg her to be sensible.

“I’m listening.” The Clutz admits she has a tiny little soft spot for the deluded Blueberry.

“I’m sorry I can’t be better, but that’s why I sing… It’s the only time I feel like people understand what I want to tell them.” Debbie looks down. Ajna pats her back.

“I… ugh…” Vortexia seems disgusted at something. You can’t tell if it is herself, Debbie, the situation or something else. “...I get it. Thank you for not delaying my way to stardom. But this is the last time I’ll say something nice to you people!”

“Right, we won’t be talking to you if we have the chance.” Nariko shrugs.

“Wrong, you’ll all be dying to talk to me when you’ll inevitably become my precious fans!” Vortexia does her haughty laugh. These two will continue to be rivals for the foreseeable future.

Seems like that’s that. The second big step to making the band a success is pretty much done, and nobody was hurt in the process except for the Clutz’s ego… and Nariko’s bra. Anyway, after you sign the papers, there’s not much else to do here.

What do you do after signing the papers?

>Let the Band record their first single. You didn’t do this entire dumb thing to not use this place.
>Ask the Receptionist what her deal is. Why is she so mean?
>Ask to meet the owner. This place is a mess and it’s their fault!
>Ask Clutz about herself. Learn about the enemy.
>Retire home, Ajna had enough outside world interactions for the day.

(We’ll do all prompts that have won, I’ll go in order so I don’t have to rush anything!)

“Nariko, do me a favor, please, and call the others. I think the band should record its first single now.” You trust your victorious hobo to get this done.

“All right, Dear Johnny. I’m going to make the calls. But before I get to that. I must tell my mother that I’ll stay here for the rest of the day.” Nariko nods then walks away. You should’ve asked Debbie to do this instead, but it’s too late now.

“T-Tell t-t-them, to b-bring o-our instruments…” Ajna wasn’t ready to perform, but she’s excited to try.

“Can I meet her?” Debbie is interested in meeting this person. Oh wait, that person is Chio! How could you forget?!

“Oh yes, you said you were a fan of her artwork. I suppose you can come along, but beware, my mother has a sharp tongue.” Nariko doesn’t mind bringing the superstar along, and knows she’ll be eaten alive because Debbie is a very awkward gal. “Now, if you’ll all excuse us. We’ll be back soon.”

The only remaining member of the Bluesberries here is not even blue, she’s a redhead! A fidgeting redhead! You’re left with the Evil Idol, who doesn’t know if she should leave or not. With the receptionist still busy, you know a way to kill time.

“As a potential future fan, Clutz. I’d like to know more about what your deal is.” You strike up a conversation with the villainous girl.

“A proper fan should address me by my name.” The Clutz won’t let that go.

“I guess I won’t become your fan then.” You rescind the offer.

“Fight as much as you want, it won’t matter, I’m irresistible.” The Evil Idol shows a hint of that haughty laugh from earlier. “In fact, with my two rivals gone, I wouldn’t mind capturing you two’s hearts for the rest of eternity.”

“Ajna is your rival too, she’s part of the band.” You point out that the fidgeting menace is someone to look out for.

“A-Are you right in the head? She can’t talk without stuttering, why is she part of the act?” The Clutz is beyond bothered by this. Like anyone can join her business if they want. “Whatever. It’s your business, not mine.”

“I believe in her.” You nod at Ajna with all the confidence in the world. “Anyway, tell us about yourself, Whirlwendy.”

“That’s not my name! Get it right!” Vortexia is not enjoying this conversation.

“Just answer me, please.” You don’t want to admit that you forgot.

“Tch, here’s my card with all my information. That’s as much as you’ll get for being rude.” Vortexia hands you a Sparks of Luck card with her image! It’s a special idol collection with all the performer’s details on the back. These don’t seem like they’re playable for obvious reasons.

The tiny bio gets most of your attention. It talks about Vortexia collaborating with prominent figures in the industry, but never truly being credited for her contributions, grinding for an opportunity to be noticed. But she was a little too good at her background role, and her collaborators sabotaged all offers she could’ve received. When she found out, Vortexia took matters into her own hands, and hijacked one of her most prominent associates’ shows and out-staged them. She’s described as the best-kept secret that is going to take the world by storm.

“Have I conquered your hearts now? Hmm?” Vortexia notices that you and Ajna finished reading, and smiles.

How do you respond?

>“Oh god, I do kinda want to support you, you poor thing! Ajna, let’s deploy some headpats together!” You’ll support the only way you know!
>“Not really, but I feel for you. That had to stink.” Sympathize.

“Oh god, I do kinda want to support you, you poor thing!” You feel bad about this loser (because she lost to Nariko).

“I don’t want your pity! I’m a self-made star!” Vortexia didn’t think it would backfired like this.

“D’aww! Of course, you are! Ajna, let’s deploy some headpats together!” You smile at the fidgeting girl, she agrees with a nod, she too feels bad for Vortexia.

“D-Deploy what?” Vortexia is too confused to understand what’s going on, and it’s too late before she realizes where this is going…

You and Ajna headpat Vortexia for being such a good sport! The spunky girl doesn’t appreciate what’s going on but lets it happen out of pure bafflement.

“G-G-Good g-girl…” Ajna says it so soothingly. She’s proud of this stormy underdog.

“You two have to sign up for my fanclub after this.” Vortexia demands total dedication after being somewhat humiliated.

“Since when are these a thing? Does Debbie have one?” You look at the card again.

“After K-Corp bought that failed idol agency, the industry went in disarray, everyone was rambling about monopolies and what not. As a peace offering, they made those like a week ago, and will give all the profits to the other agencies.” Vortexia explains. Ka-Shing has a lot of money to burn. “And why do you keep calling Amber by that name?”

“That’s her name.” You clarify.

“You’re wrong.” Vortexia vehemently disagrees. “Ambition-P’s name is Amber. It has always been Amber. Do you even know your own client? I imagine they got the rights to do a card if they bought her old agency.”

You and Ajna share a look as the feeling that something is amiss is mutual. Vortexia is pretty confident about her blueberry knowledge, perhaps she's a fan?

“By the way, do you want to sign it?” You wiggle your eyebrows as you show Vortexia her own card.

“That’s not the proper way to ask. Are you my fan or not? Make me feel special!” Vortexia gets angry at your lack of tact.

“Oh? Does someone want another headpat barrage?” You’re happy to oblige!

“G-Give me that card, and I’ll sign another for you, redhead.” The Clutz snatches it from your hand and signs it. She seems awfully prepared to please her fans. “Here, treasure them, these are now holy items to you.”

“Sure.” You’ll keep it in your wallet with the other cards.

“T-T-T-T-Thanks.” Ajna didn’t expect anything out of this. You can feel the collector energy coming from the redhead...

“Remember that you have to stream my music. I’m not a walking sob story, I’m the best kept secret in this industry, damn it.” Vortexia is instructing you two like you’re dummies. “And convince the other two to pledge their allegiance to me when they naturally fall down the pecking order when I overtake your silly band on the charts, you hear me?”

“T-T-That’s not g-g-going to ha-happen.” Ajna refuses this future.

“Denial is not going to save you. Now, I'd rather have a moment to myself, bye, fans.” Vortexia runs away for no reason.

Almost perfectly timed (took her a minute), the receptionist comes back with a bunch of papers ready to be signed.

“Uff, that took a while. I had to go to the storage.” The Receptionist smiles as she wipes a sweat. You didn’t even notice when she was gone. “Sign these wordy fellows and we’ll be good to go. Don’t worry about Amber’s, she’s already in the system.”

“All right.” You nod. “One question, what’s your deal?”

“My deal?” The receptionist seems confused by the question. “What do you think my deal is?”

“I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking.” You shrug. Ajna is curious too.

“Not even a guess?” The Receptionist finds this boring.

“You’re overworked?” You humor her.

“That’s not far from the truth.” The Receptionist really liked that answer.

“And the truth is?” You tilt your head.

“I get defensive about the family business.” She smiles.

“You’re the owner?!” You didn’t see this twist coming!

“I’m the daughter.” She corrects. “And I’m filling. Our last receptionist was poached by those K guys. They’ve been ruthless lately. Can’t trust nobody.”

“Oh, sorry to hear.” You have some empathy.

“As business partners, you should.” The Owner’s daughter giggles.

“What’s your name again?” You don’t think you’ve asked.

“You’ll find out if you look around.” She’s not going to help.

Ajna pulls your hand and points at one of the posters, this whole time her name has been in the open for everyone to see…!

You open your eyes wide and read the name on the poster out loud!

“You’re Pumpkin?!” You’re in utter disbelief!

“P-Punk-P.” Ajna whispers her correction.

“Haha, you need better glasses.” Punk-P isn’t affected one bit by your misreading. “With the royalties flowing, you’ll afford a new pair.” She winks at you.

“I’d apologize for my mistake, but you lied to me! Your name is not on the poster!” You point at it with rightful indignation!

“What’s the issue? More people know me by my stage name, it’s practically my identity.” Pumpkin doesn’t understand your hold up. “It’ll be the same with your clients.”

“Nah, Ajna will always be Ajna.” You put your hand on top of Ajna’s shoulder. “And so will be the others.” Yu Yan, Ruby, Debbie and Mooriko will always be the same!

“Seems that logic doesn’t hold up with Clutz.” Pumpkin finds a flaw in your argument.

“That’s different, Pumpkin. To me, she’ll always be Clutz.” You smile from the bottom of your heart.

“And I’ll be Pumpkin?” Pumpkin wonders.

“And you’ll be Pumpkin.” You nod. “If you girls bothered to tell me your names, this wouldn’t be a problem.”

“I like Pumpkin, but it makes us sound like lovers, and that’s a no-go for marketing purposes.” Punk-P has her reservations. “Come up with something else after you’re done with these. I’ll be arranging one of the recording booths for you all. Peace.” She winks as she goes.

You stare at Ajna for a second, look down at the pile of papers, and sigh. You’ll get these done now. Ajna decides to help you, and you two scramble through them for a while until it’s all over. So many papers to sign, it’s kind of nuts. A lawyer would’ve useful here or something.

“Fuck, I’m done…” You’re relieved.

“Good job there, stud!” Yu Yan is here! And so is Ruby, and the-other-two-that-are-equally-important-but-were-already-here-so-you-don’t-want-to-waste-time-acknowledging-them are also here! “Glad you got this sorted out before we got here.”

“Sorry, Johnny, it wasn’t easy to figure out how to bring all the instruments here between us two.” Ruby apologizes for being late.

“Yu Yan! Ruby! Girls!” You smile at all of them. “You all got to sign here.” You deadpan and show them where they need to put their signatures. They all were prepared with their own pen for some reason. “And here, and here.” You check the signatures for the last time. “Yup, we’re done!”

“Do we really need that many signatures to rent a studio? What the heck?” Yu Yan doesn’t get it.

“It’s a special place, Yu Yan. Recording here grants us many benefits for exposure. We will generate a lot of buzz here through their social media pages! Ribbit!” Debbie explains briefly.

“…” Ajna fidgets from the anxiety of being known.

“Paid in exposure? My mother would kill me if she heard this.” Nariko sighs.

“We’re actually the ones paying.” You say to make matters worse.

“We’ll recuperate our spending if we hit a certain engagement threshold, dear Manager. I wouldn’t have insisted on coming to this place if there weren’t these kinds of benefits.” Debbie smiles.

“I heard you girls bullied some loser to tears, where is she?” Yu Yan is looking around for Vortexia.

“S-S-She r-ran away…” Ajna informs.

“I figured.” Nariko seems content obliterating the enemy.

“Guess I’ll have to be satisfied messing all you up instead.” Yu Yan needs to let some energy out.

“Ah! There are the famous Bluesberries!” The Pumpkin Receptionist is back and reads the name from the papers. “The Recording booth is ready!”

“...The hell did she call us…?” Yu Yan hasn’t been informed of the name.

“It’s our band’s name.” You point out.

“We… play the blues?” Ruby didn’t know that.

“What?! I never agreed to that!” Yu Yan wants a redo.

“Read what you sign next time.” You tap the papers. You don’t know if they’re binding in any way, but you’ll pretend they are.

“...Oh god, darn it.” Yu Yan frowns. “Did you have to name us after Debbie’s debbies?”

This is a wild accusation and you won’t stand for it.

How do you respond?

>“Yes.” Stand for the wild accusation.
>“N-No, Yu Yan, don’t make me look bad. It’s just a funny pun because Debbie is blue.” Defend yourself.
>“It was Debbie’s idea.” Deflect blame like all great managers do.

“Yes.” You deadpan.

Yu Yan starts hysterically laughing like there’s no tomorrow, you caught her off guard. Ajna pinches your hand for being improper with your joke, she’s acute enough to tell you’re messing around. You two wait for the Smug one to calm down.

“That’s inappropriate…” Ruby is embarrassed by your response.

“I don’t follow.” Nariko is as clueless as a sheep being herded.

“Thank goodness I’m not the only one!” Debbie is lost about this as well. “Could you explain it to us, Ruby? I have my guess, but I don’t want to misunderstand the situation like I always do.”

“Well, I could, but…” Ruby looks around, begging for an exit.

“But? What seems to be the problem?” Nariko doesn’t get what’s the hold up.

“It’s a rather embarrassing explanation to say...” Ruby really wants a lifesaver.

“Am I embarrassing in some way…?” Debbie didn’t know she was causing trouble.

“That’s not it at all!” Ruby reassures.

“Then what is it?” Nariko wants a damn explanation!

“Stop messing around, you’re older than all of us, Amber, you should know.” Pumpkin finds this funny but there’s a limit.

“That’s strange, because I believe *you* shouldn’t know.” Debbie retorts.

“Amber, they’re not difficult to notice.” Pumpkin chuckles.

“Huh? It’s easy to watch someone else’s dream?” Debbie crosses her arms. “What’s your technique?”

“I’m… totally lost now.” Pumpkin laughs.

“In my dream, my group of friends were called the Blueberries, and our manager took inspiration from it.” Debbie explains. “What else could he be referring to?”

“I heard you were an oddball, Amber, but I can’t keep up with this. I'd rather show you the way to the recording booth instead of keeping this going.” Pumpkin starts walking away.

“O-Okay…!” Debbie starts following her without putting much thought into it.

“Oh! Johnny was joking.” Ruby sighs in relief. “It is still inappropriate, but it is far less scandalous now.”

“Dear Ruby, are you slow? How is Johnny’s response in any way scandalous? From what I gather, we’re Debbie’s dream team. That’s stupendous! I’ll be glad to call myself a Bluesberry from now on!” Nariko loves the name. “It’s time to prove if we’re befitting of the title.” The OG Hobo trails behind Punk-P and Debbie. You think Nariko’s blueberries are worthy.

“Wha-… Did I get it wrong…? A-Am I becoming a pervert…?” Ruby doesn’t want to question her sanity and follows the others.

“I don’t think she’s gonna stop laughing, so I’m going to drag her to the booth.” You feel like your joke created way too much chaos. Ajna nods. You grab Yu Yan by the waist and bring her with you…

As far as you understand, the Bluesberries’ goal for this session is to record their first single. It’s a remix of one of Debbie’s old songs that didn’t stick named ‘Alone’, that will turn into something more positive and cheery. Debbie is known for her optimistic and energetic type of music, so the fanbase didn’t receive it well, but with these changes, the band believes it’ll finish the story of the song on a better note. No pun intended.

And this is how Together is being made. You’re letting the band record their thing with the sound engineer, while you’re watching with Pumpkin by your side. She’s scouting her future rivals and is enjoying what she’s hearing.

“So, Mr. Manager, are you planning on sexualizing all of your clients moving forward?” Ms. Pumpkin asks tongue-in-cheek.

How do you respond?

>“I was joking earlier. Don’t mistake me for an actual pervert.” Get a tiny bit serious to dispel any misconceptions.
>“What? No. They all are going to dress as giant Blueberries!” Your dream will come true.
>“That’s rich coming from someone who has that kind of poster in the lobby.” Be cheeky with Pumpkin.

Did you come up with a nickname for Punk-P?

“That’s rich coming from someone who has that kind of poster in the lobby.” You act cheeky back, that’s how you treat people like this! In kind!

“I knew you’d be the type to ogle.” Punk-P smirks back, not one bit bothered. “Is this how you dodge questions?”

“Eh, I don’t think you’d be interested in a real answer.” The answer would be no anyway.

“Hot rebuttal, the press is going to love you.” Punk-P smiles from ear to ear in the most friendly way possible, but you can tell she’s not trying to be amicable. She thinks you’ll be good food for the media.

“Anyway, miss, you left me with a pending task, and I have fulfilled it, Pumpkin.” You clear your throat.

“Enjoy that one! It’s going to be the last time you’ll call me that.” Pumpkin likes that you brought this up. “What did you come up with, Mr. Manager?”

“You’re going to be… Pumpkin Pie!” You copy her smile!

“Very well, I won’t be that. Give it another shot, I know you can do it!” Punk-P refuses to be any type of dessert with the nicest of attitudes.

“Pumpkin Pie, you need to learn that once I bless someone with a nickname it’s final.” You act like you’re a holy spirit giving out miracles.

“Do you intend to be my lover?” Your Pumpkin Pie makes a rather daring question.

How do you respond?

>“That depends more on you than me.” Wiggle those eyebrows. Do it for fun.
>“You’re a Pumpkin Pie, not because I love you, but because you have the head of a pumpkin.” You have the facts behind this decision.
>“No? Why are you asking?” Act confused. She did mention that she didn’t like the nickname because it made you sound like lovers, but maybe she’s referring to something else?
>“Sorry, I don’t like cheaters.” You’d never have a relationship with a woman with a different manager.

“That depends more on you than me.” You wiggle your eyebrows to mess with her head!

“Can’t get anything out of you without begging, hmm? Can’t imagine how much Amber had to grovel to get your services.” Your Pumpkin Pie giggles. The managerial thing was your idea though.

“I only want you to put a little more effort into this, Pumpkin Pie. Humor me a little.” You continue teasing.

“Have you ever considered that you’re misinterpreting the situation? You could start now.” Punk-P is sarcastically gentle.

“Then why the question?” You wonder even if you know Punk-P was trying to remind you of what she said earlier.

“Don’t make me explain.” Pumpkin Pie doesn’t like explaining. “I’m not coming onto you, Mr. Manager. And I’d rather stay single.”

“You’re going to continue being my Pumpkin Pie anyway.” You shrug because teasing is not only about flirting.

“Oh, does that mean that you intend to steal my heart, Mr. Manager?” Punk-P plays along.

“Do you think I can?” You wiggle your eyebrows once again.

“I’m not troubled by pretenders trying, it’s part of the profession.” Punk-P winks knowing damn well she won’t give you a chance. She’s mocking you. “We’re going to end up with a conflict of interests if you get that far.”

“I think I’m already that far, I was being facetious, but I can spot some interest in those eyes, Pumpkin Pie.” You wink back. “And trust me, we can make this work out.”

“I like your spirit, and only your spirit.” Punk-P shuts you down. “Is that what ‘far’ is to you?”

“No, it is the way you look at me.” You smile.

“My eyes want you far away.” Pumpkin Pie smiles back.

“But your lips want me way closer.” You wiggle your eyebrows.

“Clever, I’ll give you that one.” Pumpkin Pie nods. “Are you interested in meeting the owner of this fine establishment after the recording?”

“Yes, I am.” You say.

“Would it be okay if I go along with you? Just the three of us first…” Punk-P smirks.

You don’t know if she wants to stay with you, or if she’s planning a way to kill you. Whatever the reason, you need to answer.

How do you respond?

>“I'd rather be with my team, sorry.” Reject the offer.

“Sorry, you’re waiting outside with the band. I’ll meet this person on my own.” You reject the offer. “Now let’s pay attention to the performance.”

“Hope you don’t regret it, Mr. Manager!” Punk-P’s smile doesn’t leave her face. You have no idea what this means, but fuck it, you have enough Courage to face the unknown.

After an hour, Together was properly recorded. You congratulate the cheerful girls for their efforts, maybe you’re musically impaired, but you think this is going to be a success. With the atmosphere of celebration soaking the place, you thought it’d be a good idea to plan a fun event, but Punk-P reminds you that you have an appointment with the boss, and for managers, it’s unskippable. So off you go…

You’re in the Boss’s office. It’s pretty much what you expect from a place like this, there are records on the wall, pictures of the owner with different musicians he has personally backed. It’s kinda mute for someone who has this many eccentric rules.

“Hello, Mr. Ando.” The man checks his computer screen to make sure he didn’t get your name wrong, then invites you to get comfortable with a simple hand gesture. He has a wild haircut that you have no idea how it works. “I’m glad you could join me this evening.”

“Hi there, sir. Nice to meet you.” You stay polite as you sit down…

“Likewise. Congratulations to your clients for getting this far, I’m impressed by the fact that my daughter allowed them to perform today. Every time she gets behind the desk, she doesn’t move a muscle for anyone, her attitude is rather difficult to manage. But seeing her scramble to find the registration papers really shows what an interesting prospect your project is.” The Man’s voice is soft to the point of tiredness. It’s not sleep-inducing like Nina’s, it forces you to pay attention.

“Thank you, she wasn’t easy to convince.” You admit it was a battle.

“We’re an interesting duo, she judges character, while I judge talent. With Ms. Amber by your side, I have no reason to doubt her bandmates' qualifications. But you, Mr. Ando, are another story. I’ve seen far too many managers squander Amber’s abilities, and I’d love to leave this meeting convinced that you aren’t among them.” He stares at you decisively.

“Do I really have to pass a test?” You have wasted enough time here already.

“That’s akin to my daughter’s style. I'd rather wait and see. I apologize for giving you the wrong impression, what I said was only a selfish wish I had.” The man chuckles. “Mr. Ando, enjoy yourself. These are your first steps into a world of wonder.”

Okay, it’s time for you to acknowledge this, the man has a mannequin on his back, like he’s giving it a piggyback ride.

“Thank you, sir. Huh, may I know your name, please?” You continue being polite as hell. The devil wins through pleasantries.

“I’m Mio Fenix Lacsamana~!” This is a man who really loves the sound of his name as he turns it into a little jingle.

“And your daughter’s?” You keep inquiring.

“The name of the light of my sun is none other than…” Mio Fenix starts dancing with his puppet full of joy, but suddenly stops. “…my Kiki.”

“That’s cute.” You weren’t expecting something this lame. It sounds like the name of a cat like Snowball or Bradford Jr.

“Every day, I notice how this identity vanishes. She only responds to the name the masses know her as, not the one her poor father spent painful years coming up with.” Mio Fenix is saddened by this immutable fact. “Don’t let your clients go through the same pain.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep calling her Pumpkin Pie.” You meant to say her real name, whoops.

“Are you telling me that you’re lovers...?” The man starts strangling the mannequin.

“I-It’s nothing like that, it’s an innocent nickname, that’s all.” You’re starting to question if the word Pumpkin has another meaning that you aren’t aware of. “Besides, I met her today, I can’t move that fast.” If you ignore, huh, a certain mousy lady…

“I understand. Not that I can stop the ways of love...” Mio Fenix will keep an eye on you though.

“Sir, I have a weird question to make.” You better change topics before his eyes murder you.

“Is it about the mannequin?” Mio Fenix is ready to talk about the mannequin.

“No…” You’re trying to ignore it.

“Then feel free.” Mio Fenix sighs and smiles.

“Do you play Sparks of Luck?” You grin.

“Mr. Ando, if I propose to you a game at this very moment. Would you accept my challenge?” Mio Fenix asks back.

“Is that a yes, you play or…?” You perplexedly say.

“Please, answer my question. I’ll reveal my daughter’s real name if you happen to win.” Mio Fenix thinks you don’t want to play since you didn’t jump at the chance.

“It’s not Kiki?” You’re a tad disappointed.

“It’s a pet name that *only* her father is allowed to use.” Mio Fenix retorts. Then why say it in front of you?

“Do I get the right to call her Kiki if I win?” You raise an eyebrow.

“I’m starting to see what kind of man you are, Mr. Ando.” The man makes his mannequin spit out his deck. “If you win, I’ll back you in whatever plan you see fit.”

“And if I lose?”

“I want you to send T_T Neko my regards.” Mio Fenix never smiles, he’s all business.

>The objective of the game is to defeat the opponent’s Contenders!
>The Contender is your main guy in the game; he has life points, attack points and defense points.

The Game consists of 3 phases:
>First Phase is putting your Effects card (only one) in play facedown. You can reveal its ability in one of the other two phases.
>Second Phase is both players throwing the dice to see who attacks first! The one who throws the bigger number is the one who will attack (unless an Effect card says otherwise!). You can activate your Effect card if you want to.
>Third Phase is attacking and defending depending on who is attacking. You can also activate your Effect card if you want to. If you don’t use your Effect card, it goes back to your hand.
>Repeat until one contender is defeated!
>If you use up all your Effect cards, you can draw 3 more, until your maze is emptied! (Max 12 Cards.)

>Life Points are how much damage the card can take before getting KO’ed!
>Attack Points are how much damage is added to the dice rolls while attacking!
>Defense Points are how much damage you don’t take when you decide to defend!

>In the battle phase, if you are attacking, you only need to roll the dice to see how much damage you are doing.
>In the battle phase, if you are defending, you can either choose to defend or to dodge!
>If you defend, the damage you receive is the attacking roll of your opponent minus the defending roll you threw, if you somehow defend more than your opponent’s damage, you will still receive 1 damage regardless.
>If you dodge, and your rolled number is greater than your opponent's, you receive no damage! Otherwise, you receive full damage. Boosts aren’t counted here, only when calculating damage!
>All modifiers are counted immediately.

Have fun!

GET YOUR GAME ON!

Mio Fenix (?) picked “Punk-P!” (LP: 17 AP: 0 DF:-1)
Johnny picked “Vortexia!” (LP 5 AP: 2 DF 2)

“You’re using your own daughter?” You gasp.

“It doesn’t truly fit my strategy, but I’m a proud father. And this card is… sufficient.” Mio Fenix doesn’t like the stats but you win with your favorites, not with the meta! “You seem to have selected Vortexia. Are you a fan?”

“Not by my own will. She’s too adorable to be against.” You point out.

“Isn’t she a little antagonistic for that kind of appreciation?” Mio Fenix questions your line of thought.

“Eh, I don’t judge a book by its cover.” YOU’LL NEVER FORGET WILVY’S WORDS AGAIN!

“That’s commendable.” Mio Fenix loved hearing that as he pets his mannequin. “But the truth, Mr. Ando, is that you’re not going to face me today…”

Mio Fenix throws the mannequin up in the air, stands up behind his chair, and lets the puppet land on his chair. He pulls out a piece of clothing and covers the Mannequin.

“W-What are you doing?” You ask, all politeness gone for a moment.

“Preparing your opponent…” Mio Fenix snaps his fingers, then takes the cloth off the mannequin…!

“Huh? What’s going on? Why am I in the boss’ office?” It’s… Vortexia…?! A clumsy puppet has come to life!

“You’re going to play the card game under my instructions.” Mio Fenix snaps his fingers again.

“Guess I don’t have another option.” Clutz (?) crosses her arms and looks at you. “Hey! It’s you! Iohoho~! Using your new favorite treasure already? I really won your heart, didn’t I?”

“W-What…?” You’re deeply confused. It sounds just like her, acts just like her, and has her memories.

“I’m using Punk-P? A Top 2 Idol should be enough to stand a chance against me.” Clutz (?) giggles. “Let’s do this!”

For some reason, you are starting to hear boss music in your head… Mind games should be illegal…

“Cool!” You find this very interesting outside of how creepy it is. Thank god your level of Courage allows you to be unfazed aside from the moral implications. “What else can you do?”

“Hmm, that depends more on you than I.” Mio Fenix is quite amused by the fact you want to see more. “I’ll change each turn you manage to hit her.”

“Huh?! Already thinking about a talent exchange?!” Vortexia (?) is heartbroken. “I really thought you liked me… Or are you going to be a great fan and not hurt me? Hmm?”

You put down your card. Vortexia frowns and puts hers down. It’s time to roll for initiative.

Cards are set!

Vortexia (?) rolled a 6. She haughtily laughs!

You roll a 1. This only makes Vortexia laugh harder.

You activate Change of Fate! You have the initiative! Vortexia has to defend.

Vortexia (?) is not laughing anymore.

Vortexia (?) activates Amusing Pizza Time! It inflicts 1 damage to your Contender! (This card can’t kill).

You don’t enjoy this.

Vortexia (?) decides to Dodge.

Roll 1d6 to determine how much damage you do and if you hit or not! Best of 2! Rolling for Vortexia now!

Vortexia (?) rolls a 1! That’s the worst that could’ve happened!

You roll a 4! That’s decent-ish!

Vortexia (?) receives 4 damage! It means it’s time for a change…

Ihohohoho~… You can’t lose now that I’m all the way with you.” Vortexia seems relieved to not be challenging you anymore. She really loves her fans… “I… just noticed… you’re kind of cute…”

Mio Fenix covers Vortexia (?) with the cloth again.

“The Mannequin can’t keep their thoughts to themselves, they will speak only the truth. Yet, it’s been eons since I saw one so vivid. Let’s find out what else we have in store.” Mio Fenix snaps his fingers, then the cloth falls off.

“…?!” A little Tomato who goes by Wilma these days shows up. It’s young Wilma!

“You’re going to play the card game under my instructions.” Mio Fenix snaps his fingers again.

“…!!!” Wilma shakes her head. “...Sorry, Johnny, but I take card games seriously.” She won the tournament that you didn’t participate in! You’re facing a real challenge!

“It’s all right…” You don’t know if you should address her as the real Wilma or not.

Wilma places down her Effect card.

You need to do the same! Please select one of the Effect Cars in hand to put down!

“...I’m out. I wish this lasted longer.” Wilma smiles from ear to ear.

“You didn’t obey any of my commands. Could you explain to me why, dear?” Mio Fenix seems fascinated.

“...Because I wanted to have fun with the man I love on my own terms.” Those are Wilma’s final words as the final curtain lays on top of her.

“Nnngh… W-What’s going on? Where am I…?” Oh no, the Puppet has turned into Susie! Errr, you should say T_T Neko! And she’s already complaining!

“You’re going to play the card game under my instructions.” Mio Fenix is about to snap his fingers, but… “I retract my statement. You’re going to play the card game and pursue victory.” Now he snaps them. He trusts her abilities!

Aaagh... D-Don’t s-scramble my brain, Punk Prick…” ?_? Neko refuses to be mind controlled. “You know me better than this, if you want me to play SoL you only need to ask!”

“...You shouldn’t be this lucid.” Mio Fenix is truly confused by this development. “But I welcome your enthusiasm as always, T_T Neko.”

“Ah! I’d welcome this situation, but you left me in such a pickle!” Susie looks down at the battlefield to see she’s cornered. “That’s Johnny for you! A wonderful player.” She smiles at you, it feels genuine, and it’ll never not be odd.

“Thanks, Susie.” You don’t know why, but you act like she’s the real Neko.

“I say you’re evenly matched, dear.” Mio Fenix doesn’t believe he’s on the ropes, but in a slug fest to the end!

“Did you hear that, Johnny? I have another chance to face you in a tight match. I’ve waited for so long... I’ll do my best!” ?_? Neko is ready to strike you down with everything she has!

Susie sets down her final card.

You’re virtually tied.

The final rush has given you more determination to win.

Which card do you set?

>You can’t Run from me!: Your opponent must block with a -1 to his defense.

You get a 4.

?_? gets a 6 AGAIN.







Do you use your card...?

Please roll, 1d6, best of 3! If you pick No!

The situation is clear. You get the initiative, and ?_? Neko is forced to defend with 1 LP! Meaning that no matter the roll, she’s going to die this turn no matter what.

?_? Neko’s card can’t counter this effect.

You’re automatically declared the winner! Congratulations! IT’S FINALLY OVER!

“I can’t believe you didn’t play that card before now! It wins you the game in this position! Were you being nice to me?” ?_? Neko admits defeat, not without a little surprise. “You have always been so kind to me ever since we passed *that* misunderstanding. I wish I could repay you in kind one day. It’s always fun to play together… and be around you. Hope to see you again, Johnny!” The puppet’s genuine smile is covered by Mio Fenix’s final curtain.

“Congratulations on your victory, Mr. Ando. What a well-fought battle. To manage to toy with the opposition in this manner, your confidence is astounding. But what I’m more impressed by is the quality of your character.” Mio Fenix doesn’t have enough words of praise for your abilities.

“Thank you, sir. If I make it look easy, it only means my poker face has gotten better…” You rub the back of your neck.

“We can leave the modesty aside.” Mio Fenix feels like he knows too much of your character to waste time on this. “I bragged before, and the moment to face the consequences have arrived. What are your demands, Mr. Ando?”

How do you respond?

>Tell him everything you want and move on from here!
>Before that, ask about the Mannequin. You think you earned the right to ask about the Mannequin.
>Ask if there’s any type of restriction for what you can request. You know, be nice about it. It’s not like you can steal his daughter just like that, right?

“Well, sir, I wrote it all on this napkin, so you don’t think I got greedy after I knew I won.” You pass the piece of paper over the table. What you’re trying to say is that you got greedy immediately.

“That’s all well and good, but I rather hear it from your mouth.” Mio Fenix chuckles a little at the absurdity of what you’ve done.

“You can double-check if you want. All right, from the top, I want…” You say all of your demands out loud! An incredulous Mio Fenix requested for you to repeat it...

Congratulations! You have Punk-P’s Sparks of Luck card! This little devil caused so much trouble now, but now she’ll be by your side! In more ways than one!

“As for everything else, I’ll get it done…” Mio Fenix facepalms. Oh right, you can read your new acquisition’s name now! It’s—

Suddenly, the doors to this office are busted open. It’s your favorite Pumpkin and said acquisition: Punk-P! With frightening speed and demeanor, she approaches her dad with murderous intent.

Dad.” Punk-P’s steady steps are done with a cheerful smile.

“K-Kiki, dear, w-what brings you here?” The sudden entrance discombobulates Mio Fenix.

You bet your only daughter in a card game?” Punk-P’s forever smile is getting more frightening.

“You were eavesdropping on us...?” Mio Fenix is more uncomfortable about this than his daughter’s attitude.

Can you blame me? My freak father tends to psychologically torture guests with his dumb freaky puppet.” Punk-P’s chuckling sounds slightly more artificial.

“That’s a gross misunderstanding of what I do.” Mio Fenix shakes his head and pats his mannequin.

I want to believe I made another gross misunderstanding on this one too.” Punk-P is going Punk-kill. “You lost me in a card game, Dad?

“Yeah, I won you right here.” You show your Punk-P card as you wiggle your eyebrows.

“Oh~!” Punk-P seems relieved and back to normal. Her callous normal… “That’s so relieving. Do you want me to sign it?”

Do you make the situation worse? It’s not like there are take-backsies. The talent exchange is final.

>“...And I won your contract. Welcome to my agency. What’s your name, Pumpkin pie?” You need to hear her name from her lips.
>“Could you please leave us two be without eavesdropping? We aren’t done yet.” Try to save Mio Fenix’s skin.
>“Oh yes, please. Now sit down here and relax. There’s something else we want to tell you.” Be tactful about this! It’s a big change for everyone!
>Write In.

(The Mannequin question will have to wait for now!)

“...And I won your contract. Welcome to my agency.” You decide to make the situation worse. “What’s your name, Pumpkin Pie?” You don’t want to read it from the card!

Dad...” Punk-P slowly twitches her head back to her dad. “I don’t like the obnoxious honesty in his tone. Care to clarify the situation before your poor daughter gets the wrong idea again?

“It is as he says.” Mio Fenix regains his composure to be serious.

DAD.” Punk-P is ready to punk the shit out of her father.

“Fear not! He’s certainly a qualified individual!” Mio Fenix believes in the quality of your character.

Why don’t you just admit you made the biggest mistake of your life? Or do you think that I’m as dumb as Mom? Hmm?” Punk-P will commit patricide. In your own experience, every kid goes through that! You want to know when those feelings pass though.

“H-He is competent enough that you brought him here, Kiki. And the amount of loyalty and respect I perceived from the ones I brought here were unparalleled!” Mio Fenix defends his decision. Or mistake.

Dad, do you think a horny high-schooler with no experience who salivates at the mere sight of one of his talents and who is willing to engage with them romantically is qualified to manage one of the Top 3 idols in the country?” The mean Kiki slams the desk on time. “Or can you admit that you gambled your daughter’s life away without an ounce of shame AND lost to said HIGHSCHOOLER?

“M-Mr. Ando, may I request buying my daughter’s contract back…?” Mio Fenix doesn’t want to beg, but…

What do you do?

>Get a lot of money by selling one of your star talents.
>Refuse. You just won her! And you still don’t know her name! Besides, you didn’t play the longest SoL game for nothing.
>Tell him it is up to Kiki to decide.

“Top 3? Soon, you’ll be Top 1!” You smirk confidently at Pumpkin Pie.

“I can tell why those girls flock around you, Mr. Manager.” Despite not falling for your charms, Punk-P sees them clearly. She loves the idea of being first too much to be mean to you. Besides, she doesn’t want an adversarial relationship with her new manager.

Now you turn to Mio Fenix. “I’m afraid I can’t do it, sir.” You decline the offer apologetically.

See, Dad? Even this bumbling newbie knows I’m irreplaceable.” Kiki still wants to kikill her dumb father.

“If I knew beforehand that I was going to risk you, I wouldn’t have done it, Kiki. I’m sorry.” Mio Fenix knows he fucked up.

I’m done talking to you.” Kiki will make all the following family dinners very awkward.

“But I’m not! I’d like to know how your dad does the mannequin thing.” You’re ready for a long explanation.

“I can explain it later. We’re both leaving now.” Your Pumpkin Pie snatches your hand and drags you out of there.

“B-But I want to know now!” You aren’t ready to leave.

“He learned it in an old Temple! My grandfather was the head of it. Happy?” Punk-P reveals without a care for the details.

“But I need to know all the details! All! Every single one of them! I demand it!” You exclaim heroically. You won’t be silenced! You’ll never be silenced! You’ll be as loud and as shitty as Punk-P’s music. You haven’t listened to her, you shouldn’t say that…

“We have more important matters to address, just the two of us.” Punk-P doesn’t care. Before leaving, she turns one more time to her father. “I’d say don’t gamble this place away too, but I already own it.”

The distraught Mio Fenix can’t muster a response.

Once outside, Punk-P smiles at the Bluesberries like nothing has happened, and tells them it’s their turn for a meeting with the man with the mannequin. After reassuring them that they’re good to go with a thumbs up, the girls don’t think much of it and go in as a group. You’re left alone with your new client like she intended!

“Mr. Manager… Mr. Manager...” Punk-P is looking for a way to handle this. “I’ll cut to the chase. I have no intention of breaking my contract, I can’t start over like Amber is doing, not after getting this far. We’re going to make this partnership work, or I’m going to do to you, what I was planning on doing to my father. In the following days, all day and all night, I’m going to shape you into the best manager in the country without rest.” Punk-P’s creepy empty smile is earning a new meaning. “And to show you how committed I am to making this work, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Joy Joyce, please, take care of me.” She bows…



Why the fuck is her nickname Kiki?

Anyway, things are starting to get… weird. Sadly, this is all we have for this thread! Thanks for playing! And see you soon!
