day 312/313 kissing game

[ main post | yasuragi

As you enter the game tower, you're met with a beautifully-lit pathway. You can hear the faint notes of The Hymn of the Damned Queen of Yuletide, etc. etc, but at least it's at the right tempo this time. The pathway leads to a stage with two familiar faces standing under the spotlight. As soon as you enter, dozens of lights burst on, and as you glance up, you see it... mistletoe.

Along with that most festive of parasitic plants, you now get a closer look at the decorations, which, while beautiful and elegant, are also a little... strange and off-putting. Especially this one. There is a wardrobe next to the stage labeled "FESTIVE CLOTHING", and if you are so inclined, will provide you with some holiday cheer. If you decide to leave the game tower, you'll find that the mistletoe extends far beyond into Tokyo-F, hanging from every available nook and cranny for the duration of the game. There's no compulsion to do anything if you're near it--it's just in everything. Which also means the game is not just confined to the tower. That's right: nowhere but your dorm rooms are safe from the festivities.

The rest of the decorations seem fairly standard for a festive party game: there's drinks, there's food, and there's even a karaoke setup onstage. There's also a large display of candy canes in a variety of colors...
RED: The Chuunicane. You eat this candycane, you'll be forced to talk like an edgelord for awhile. See your local ☆Zrael for examples.
BLUE: Shakespeare's candycane. Okay, it's not limited to Shakespeare, but if you eat this one, you'll only be able to speak with quotes from all different forms of media! From the Odyssey to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, as long as it's a quote, it's coming out of your mouth.
ORANGE: Dandy Brain candycane. This candy cane's flavor is so sublime, but beware! Eating it makes you speak in rhyme.
GREEN: Imeeji: The Musical: The Game: The Candycane. In other words, if you eat this candycane, you will only be able to speak in song.
PURPLE: CAPSLOCKCANE. If this is the one you are eating, you will talk as though you are TALKING IN CAPSLOCK AT ALL TIMES. Hey, keep your voice down!
PINK: The Spicycane. See below.
The effects of the candy canes are not ICly known, nor can you bribe the hosts to tell you which is which. I mean you can try. But their lips are sealed. There is ONE exception: A large jar labeled 'FOR THOSE WHO LIKE IT EXTRA SPICY'; it contains pink candy canes that will instill lowered inhibitions. They are mixed in with the occasional ghost pepper candy cane. It's like eating a batch of shishito peppers, if eating shishito peppers made you kinda horny, and also the shishito peppers were actually ghost peppers, and I'm losing this metaphor let's move on.
yasuragi has a bar set up in the game lobby with a row of seating at the counter and some shelves and racks of unlabeled bottles on his side. he also has some various other boxes and containers, pipes, hookahs, incense holders and so on. it all may or may not be spiked with an inhibition lowering status effect. ]
