9th October, 2023...

It was a good evening. The Idol had just arrived back home, and decided to play a game. Joining alongside the Idol was Hana Macchia. The Idol had set up the computer and booted it up. But not everything was as it seems as-

*crash*

9th October, 2005...

Windows XP booted up slowly. Once booted, the Idol started up the MMORPG game World of NationCraft. Once started up, other allies in the game had already managed to free Nevoeiro. That said, many seemed to drop the game afterwards but the Idol started sending some units towards other locations to fight off some enemies. One of the locations visited was the Strand Palace Hotel, which was in disrepair. After gathering some materials and fighting off the enemy guards, the hotel was looking like new again.

However, noticeably, the game was lagging. Could it be the bloatware? The game's servers? Who knows, the OS also meets the bare minimum requirements to run the game.

After another one minute load of getting into the next location, Rejected Cards! Seems like this region is the place where junked cards go? Granted we didn't find anything, aside from a feather or two. Nothing out of the ordinary aside from another sweep.

As we cleared out locations and fought off enemies, we took a stroll down Interstate 45. We dodged big rigs that were flying fast in reverse. Wait, how'd a game like Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing got into the mix? Anyway, it turns out this level is bugged, though this wasn't the only Interstate we stopped by at that was like this. At least the road wasn't slippery from eggnog this time! By the end of this location, it was reverted back to its original state, free of beverages.

Time went on, lag was ever prevalent, and load times were quite long. Okay, next location... 1984 World. Yeah, the location speaks for itself, it's literally 198Fortnite!!! Wait, Fortnite? The game didn't exist in 2005. Nevertheless, the world was restored, and Oceania is back at war with Eurasia. Or was it Eastasia?

Moving on from the nightmare, we drove down Interstate 464 and eventually made our way to Jeju island. For a game like this, it sure has a huge world, even larger than GTA San Andreas!! Shame the load times have been awful. Later we went back on one more interstate, Interstate 66. No relation to the famous Route 66, this one's different. The traffic was horrendous, but we managed to clear it up. Well, the roads anyway, you can't fix traffic.

After playing for two hours, it was time to log off and turn off the computer. Oh, Windows Updates. Maybe if the Idol ignores them it'll go away...

With that, the Idol soon retreated into their blanket fort and slept for the rest of the night.

October 10th, 1999...

After the very bizarre summer of 1999, it was time for a break. The Idol booted up Windows 98, ready to play a new game. After several minutes of loading thanks to dial-up internet, the game NationQuest started up and was ready to go. Joined initially by other players mainly from the South Pacific, as well as a Armamentalist from Weaver's Peak (The Grey Wardens did not exist in 1999), and a player from Concord.

With everyone ready to go, the Idol created their character and set off towards the Kingdom of Mathematics. However, the level took a while to load, and once it did, it was very buggy. Trying to progress was hard, with invisible blocks, roadways that seemingly stopped, and cars that go much faster in reverse than forwards. After only 20 minutes of wandering around, the level was cleared.

"Well that's strange, what's happening on their end I wonder?" Anyway, the Idol was in for a treat. The third level, Isla de Bussy was the worst of them all. The level didn't load initially, and when it did, it was very slowly. Several people just decided to drop the game then and there as the load times was so long. But the Idol was determined to get through this.

Say, you noticed something strange? Well, a combination of glitches in the matrix and the breaking of the time-space continuum led to unusual errors. Might explain why the night was so slow, and why the setting went backwards from present day, to 2005, and now to 1999.

The level loading felt like being stuck in traffic. That said, it was faster than being stuck on the 405, in that it took only one hour. That said, Aqua Hoshino (played by Concrete Slab) managed to be the first one to clear the level.

But wait, there's more! As the levels went on, it was apparent that something went terribly wrong. While some levels were slightly faster and had less issues, like Mount Zion, others, like Honeymoon Farm took 20 minutes. The best of all had yet to come.

No, it wasn't clearing up Interstate 475 from spilled beverages. Nor was it getting lost in The Ruin. It was the Idol's panicking after hearing the bug was fixed and hearing the game going fast again that they decided to go straight to the Evelen support level.

But fast is relative. The game was still going slowly. Until it happened. The lag persisted and it was already 1:00 in the morning. The Idol started the game at 21:00. You know what that means. That means it took Four! Four Hours!! And it's still going!

Afterwards the last three levels were cleared with The Mighty Death Eaters being the final one. The game's story mode was beaten at 4 hours, 48 minutes in. That's right, less than five hours, but more than Four Hours!!

The Idol was amused by this. That said, it was time to go, and-

October 10th, 2023...

With everything seemingly back to normal, the computer, which is running Windows 10, was turned off. Well, Windows Updates decided to strike again, so that was delayed. Anyway, the Idol went back to sleep in their blanket fort once more, safe and sound. The fact that the game took over four hours, almost five, was pretty impressive. Though there have been stories of the game lasting longer than that? Who knows, it was an entertaining night for the Idol.

The TV meanwhile was playing a recording of the latest Hana Macchia's stream. Or seemed to be, until it stopped, and Hana was facing the room. The screen glitched out for two minutes, and when the TV static stopped, she had disappeared...

October 11th-November 1st

Sometime between all this, more glitches and unusual happenings had occurred. From the glitchy green mechanical phoenix flying high in the sky sometime after leaving Danganronpa, to many Idol-owned locations left in the dust during the zombie apocalypse, and the strange disappearance of the Idol. LizeCorp's newest establishment such as Blanket Fort Macchia as well as the newest crystal idol/V-tuber Crystalised Macchia were safe however from the zombies, showing the might of the company's innovations...

November 2nd, 2023

Meanwhile, the night of November 2nd had rolled around, and the streets were deserted. Meanwhile, one determined individual, Drew, was working to set up the roads to Bozarkia which had been taken by spiders again. Hana Macchia was called in for the lead, in which she accepted. However, things were not meant to be, and only a few others showed up. Despite this, everyone charged at the time of the call but were pushed off into the realms.

An unusual aura filled the air. The skies started to flicker, and the clouds turned to static. Hana pushed on as she and a few others made their way towards Minneapolis–Saint Paul. Having travelled down I-94, she eventually took the exit to go down on Interstate 494. Of course, what would be an interstate without... eggnog? Now that October was over, Pumpkin Spice was no longer being sold, and drinks like eggnog were rolled out.

There's no one else around that likes Pumpkin Spice more than-

Suddenly, static fills the air and surroundings, and after what seemed like a while, the area re-emerged. The Idol was back and was here to deal with the issue at hand. However, the ghost of eggnog wasn't going down without a fight. The Idol had the surprise backing of LizeCorp, who sent them a special item. It was the Pumpkin Sword! Calling upon the remaining Pumpkin spirits, the Idol charged their sword towards the ghost of eggnog, finishing them off.

Interstate 494 was cleared, with the road reopened for safe travels. The Pumpkin Sword had dissipated afterwards, though the skies and surroundings have returned to normal.

After flying out of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, the Idol returned home in their blanket fort. The final cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee was on the table, which the Idol cherished. They enjoyed every sip of it, until the cup was empty. Despite the sadness, the Idol looks forward to Pumpkin Spice's return. In the meantime, they went back to their usual coffee flavours, such as Coconut Mocha.

Over a few days, HelestaCorp (now renamed to prevent confusion with an old corporation from long past), now leading the production faculties, have rolled out the newest 6th gen crystal idols/V-tubers such as Rosemi, Kogane, and Nikaido, with the last one using some new latest tech from the z-day virus. However, resources were running a bit low, so HelestaCorp sent out the Idol along with their friends on a journey to collect more while clearing out locations.

Along with Kakastania from The Grey Wardens, the Idol and friends set out. Upon arriving at Confederation Of Great Nations, traces of blanket fabric was discovered among the feathers and knives. This meant one thing: someone that's also associated with the legendary sleepy group was here! The material was promptly collected to be used for future creations. That said, feathers were stuck to the blanket, but luckily that can be cleaned up.

There were also a few old tech scattered in places such as United Federal Nations. Among them included an old computer which ran Windows 95, used to power an old missile system. That was also collected, along with other old tech left behind, to be recycled and used to build new and better tech.

The Idol then ventured all the way to New Antarctica, to Kurman and finally the Empire of the Blade to collect all the blanket fabrics they could find. Satisfied for now, the Idol and friends went back after clearing out several areas. All gathered resources were dropped off to HelestaCorp, and the Idol went home. While the streets were as quiet as ever, all was well once more.

Great report, as always. The Idol does not miss.

The Nijisanji Recordings, Volume 9

FILE 09-01

LOADED

The next few days have been fairly quiet. More traces of blanket fabric were collected when found, and the Idol's friends have also taken to mess with sasquatch when spotted. Otherwise the Planet bases have been fairly quiet with little to no movement.

On the other hand, Fort Hana Macchia has been bustling and became the new active base of operations for the Love Live Star Idol Forces for a while now, which has since expanded to include Nijisanji under their umbrella. Fort Chisato Arashi has seen better days, though remains well maintained.

The Idol had built a more vibrant blanket fort in their new location with coffee-themed blankets, including one of pumpkin spice. HelestaCorp had unveiled more crystal idols and v-tubers, including an dusk crystal-powered AI Izumo Kasumi, a dezombiefied Kureiji Ollie (from Hololive!), and Madoka Higuchi who's cold and dead serious. You know who else was dead serious? The old La-

Pl--s- --sh Y--- -and-! --'r- dead ---ious!

Muyu: Sorry everyone, we had technical difficulties, but we're back!

*the recording turns back on and proceeds as normal*

Also at Fort Hana Macchia, there was a tall lighthouse that stood near the edge, and the waves were strong during this time of year. The coffee cup, which is the top of the lighthouse, serves as the vantage point. Inside, it also includes a powerful telescope, which can see stars from thousands of light years away. However, it can also see through universes, including the far lands of the northern reach.

Indeed, the Idol was there late-afternoon watching as the waves crash to shore and looking through the telescope. Activity was thriving down at the northern reach, with Operatic Rats singing duets. The Idol could easily hear their songs, which was soothing to listen to.

After an hour, the Idol returned from the lighthouse to bring the news. Preparations had begun, and HelestaCorp had went through upgrading all the crystal idols and v-tubers, with Crystal Macchia no longer having the horror theming. They also rolled out a new crystal v-tuber later that evening, based on Akabane Youko. The majority of the crystal idols/v-tubers were moved out of Fort Hana Macchia afterwards, down at the Planet bases of the Artificial Solar System.

Megumi, whom was watching the lighthouse that evening, reported of more movements: snakes rolling on in with skates and Cinoci. The dreams had once again came true, though haunted with memories of things we'll never see-

Reports of reflections have been spotted piercing through the fog. Avoid the reflected lights. They have been reported to contain dangerous amounts of lead and uranium, owing to the glowing greens emerging from the lights. The ocean is contaminated and waves batter the shore. There's a shadow-

Crystalised Youko gathered things together, and had brought along a mysterious book. With the snakes on skates on the other end all ready to go, so was she.

Several minutes of silence followed. The long halls were eerily quiet, and faint chimes of bells were heard, and noises were heard from the vents as the AC was kicked on. Or was it? It was quite cool outside...

After a while, Cinoci was here to backup the snakes on skates. Meanwhile, Youko's frightening aura had seemingly paralyzed her own allies, freezing them in place. No movements were made for another three minutes, until...

They moved, and Youko followed along. The snakes on skates had managed to roll their way into victory, taking The Pacific northsouth with them. Youko looked around and indeed, her allies did not move.

Her radiating aura persisted a bit longer. Crystalised Madoka walked out into the halls, ready to follow. More snakes on skates rolled out and...

Missed? She followed through the open door to Great Archipelago United Nations GAUN though alone. She backtracked a bit, while the snakes were staying behind. They didn't move back to their home base, instead, they rolled towards New Atlantica. Madoka arrived as well. Just her. Though she expected this would happen, she turned around and left.

Luckily, Youko managed to find a spell in her book and casted one to wake the allies back up. Crystalised Kureiji had arrived, more alive than ever, and with a clone of Hitori Gotoh backing her (Bocchi104), both were ready. The snakes once again made their move as they slid down the halls a bit, and entered the door to Calex...

The snakes were too good. So was HelestaCorp's tech, though hilariously, was way too good it backfired for them so far.

However, things started to turn around as Vor brought in more powerful backup. Crystalised Kogane had entered the fray, feeling as confident as ever. The halls were as unsettling as ever, however noticeably its begun to die down as a result of Youko's spell from earlier.

This time, the snakes rolled through three doors in succession, with their first stop being Xarakuz. Kogane followed them though backtracked each time. After going through another door, the snakes went through one more towards WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWMW-

Muyu: Hmm... okay.

Crystalised Takamiya flew out, blasting down a wall with a crystalised lazer. It was showtime. Curiously, the hallways were no longer having that haunted feeling. The lights dimmed for a bit and then became colourful. The festival had begun, and the lights were moving like as if it was a dance floor.

The snakes rolled out, this time, towards... Junta!? Takamiya fired another crystalised lazer, having demolished a part of the building denying them the entrance; while Vor was able to shut them down. For a region that's plans to coup the South Pacific, they sure let their defences down-

*the tape cuts out for a few minutes. After a moment of silence, it starts again*

AI Crystalised Izumo started up, and went through the door towards KLYTH tracking down the snakes. The lights dimmed again, and when returning to normal, she and her ally was able to secure the room. The radiating dusk crystals lent power towards her ally whom was able to send them on a slide down all the way to the realms below.

After grabbing a glass vase, with glass roses, Crystalised Rosemi had arrived on scene. The lights across the hallways were now rotating slowly through pastel colours. Rosemi followed Cinoci to NatCons Crew, though all left after a few seconds. She then clipped through the edges of the walls landing temporarily in the 765 Production universe, though she returned after cutting down the walls around her. The snakes then made their next move, entering through a door towards the vast expanse of space, and skated their way to The Mars planet. However, they arrived late, so they then rolled through a large TV on the planet and into the world of films, shifting towards Disney Movies. Rosemi clipped out of bounds again, and fell into Chiyoko Sonoda's house. After the choco idol gave her a piece of chocolate, Rosemi returned back to base ready to follow.

The snakes then travelled out from TV land and into Eee. Just e-

-arrived at FadhlRegainn. They walked right into a crystal rose garden which Rosemi summoned, and after handing her ally one of Koishi's spell cards, had sent them off through the door towards the underground world.

Crystalised Muyu had departed from the Dream World, ready to eat people's dreams. The hallway lights were glowing purple now, and Muyu flew after the snakes rolling on by. After several twists and turns, the snakes went through several doors towards ISRO. Muyu and her ally followed, having successfully ate their dreams in claiming the room for themselves.

Shortly after, sunflowers started to emerge from another door. Crystalised Himawari walked out, having travelled through the Garden of the Sun. Yuuka's spellcards in hand, she followed after the snakes through another door. She pursued them across interdimensional space, making a long trek towards The Ares 6 Mission. Once more a visit to Mars was paid, and after having used the spellcard, Fantasy "The Beauties of Nature", she and her ally were able to guard the base from the encroaching snakes. Afterwards, she left through space again and back into the hallways.

Meanwhile, the hallway lights changed again, shifting through the lights seen during an aurora borealis. Crystalised Lize made her grand entrance, exiting from the blue-coloured door. The surroundings started to change, with first the lights being turned off, then with the ceilings disappearing, revealing the night sky and a powerful aurora dominating the night sky, along with the stars ever shining so brightly.

The snakes rolled on, down the long winding halls, before making their way towards the Coast of Love. Lize followed along, and once there the walls had also disappeared, with only the floors remaining. But those too changed into natural paths. The ocean waves were gently crashing the shorelines. Both the snakes and Lize stayed there for a bit, at opposite sides, ready to fight. The snakes made their final move once more, rolling along the coastline to Ocalawaha. Lize's ally followed first, then herself. The snakes were sent off on a one way ticket to the realms; while their friend was unable to make it in time.

More snakes were at first ready to go, but decided to call it off for the night. The lights shut off at their place, seemingly going back to sleep.

That said, the night just wasn't over yet, with more things to take care of. Crystalised Nikaido rode her motorbike down to The Grand Imperial Regime of Nantuvia, where she and her ally swept away remaining feathers. Two more places followed for unfinished business, with HelestaCorp also collecting abandoned items the pirates left behind.

After an adventurous night, it was time to head back. The idol returned to Fort Hana Macchia, coffee in hand, and went home. The night sky was as bright as ever, with only the shining stars dominating the skies, and a faint sighting of Mars.

Muyu's Reports, Volume 6

The next morning, the Idol had already taken off. Having bought a coffee along the way, they then went straight towards Confederation Of Great Nations along with another ally. It was a quiet morning, and with many people away somewhere else, the streets were deserted as normal.

HelestaCorp had deployed Crystalised Minamoto and Crystalised Macchia, both whom hadn't seen action yet, towards New Atlantica and Calex respectively. Snakes on skates were discovered, and we have high bets they're the ones the posters from Blanket Fort Legion was talking about. But, HelestaCorp's not one to make assumptions, so a proper investigation is underway.

In the meantime, Hecatia Lapislazuli set off to Interuniverse Obezyaniya to take care of unfinished business, while Sonoda Chiyoko went to Union of Independent States in search of chocolates! She found cookies, but sadly, it had feathers on them. Unlike blankets, you can't clean up a cookie, it's contaminated forever.

As Chiyoko returned back afterwards, Hecatia shared some of the chocolates she bought, with her. The idol had also returned back home, having bought around 11/12 coffees. I couldn't understand it myself, but are they really going to drink that much coffee??

The following night, the Idol wasn't around. That said, Crystalised Youko returned, and joining her was Rex Zero 1 and Tareus. Before the latter two departed on their own paths, Youko gave them each different items: grappling hook for Rex, and a powerful flashlight for Tareus. Confused as to why, Youko assured to trust her, as they'll need them later.

Youko left off to return to The Pacific northsouth. Luckily, the night was calm, and the stars remained as bright as ever. She managed to sneak around, was careful not to make a sound, and had quietly managed to take down the BFL flag. Of course, they were being collected for the Idol, owing to the fact they're such a huge fan!

Rex Zero 1 traversed through the fields and into a large palace and had came across several large pits. Using the grappling hook Crystal Youko gave her, she jumped across several pits towards the normally unreachable rooftop. She changed the misprinted sign on top, and headed back down the same way. However, after exiting, she noticed the scenery around had changed, as if the palace had expanded somehow.

Tareus ran down another part of this expanded palace, dodging unidentifiable enemies. The lights had flickered, and a bit later, burnt out. She took the flashlight out and turned it on. The light emitted was super strong, at around 5000 lumens, though it had a bonus side effect of vaporising enemies along the path. Soon she and her ally made it to Supernus. After searching around for a while, and dusting off a bunch of doors, they discovered a few of them were set up by someone else. Furthermore, there was a smaller door discovered next to them, and after opening it, switches were found. Vor managed to shut down the ones that led to the hawks, one that led to the assassins, and one that led to a naval base.

Afterwards they turned to leave, and the palace started to show signs of evaporating. Indeed, the roof was disintegrating, soon revealing the night sky once more. The walls followed and faded away by the time they reached the exit. With the last thing on the list taken care of, both Youko's group and their ally parted ways returning to their own homes...

...

After reading, Kotoha had put the report back in the binder and returned it to the shelf. Then as she left the library she felt the fresh breeze pass around her, and down the empty streets in the city. She started to walk down the road until she noticed something that wasn't there previously. It was a a green glass door. As she walked towards the door, it opened, with Youko Akabane (not the crystal version) stepping out. She came from the Occult Research Club! After a moment of silence (and the door disappearing behind Youko) Kotoha asked "...So what brings you here?"

"I'm here as there's been reports of idols and v-tuber clones, but made out of crystals! Have you seen any recently?"

Greetings friends far and wide! Please see Prime Minister ProfessorHenn's opening address to their term, posted on our forums (link provided below).

Greetings to the Coalition, to legislators and citizens, to friends and allies, to all others.

This is the start of the end of one of the most interesting administrations that we’ve seen, if not controversial and groundbreaking simultaneously. From foreign policy incidents to massive legislative shifts, we’ve seen many an event involve us in some way and that demands our attention. That is, for lack of a better phrase, the life of a politician, that chooses to participate NationStates’ oldest democracy.

Our belief in democratic principles remains the cornerstone of our actions and outlook on the world. A Southern Cross, guiding our way through the foggy waters of foreign affairs and domestic struggles. It brings us from point to point, and we remain wholly confident in its ability to best serve the interests of the South Pacific. However, as much as democracy relies on the people to choose, it also relies on people to deliver, and this is where we are at now.

The priority for this term, my third in a row and the last one for at least a good long while, is on getting things ready for the future. Cleaning up the offices of all the SPIT glasses and tidying up the furniture from late night celebrations of successful liberations and SC resolution passages. Transcribing all of our notes into neat binders to pass on to successors, so that they don’t struggle with the same issues we had. Recruiting the best folks to be able to take our places, in time, to carry on our democratic traditions.

To that end, my ministers and I have outlined our agendas, to the Assembly and to the citizenry, detailing our intended actions beyond accomplishing the metaphorical. @Legend / New American Dictatorship is taking the lead on accomplishing the events we planned out last term, as well as continuing his advocacy for greater cross-platform cooperation. @USoVietnam / United States of Vietnam is doing the most cleanup of the ministers, reorganizing our integration software, ensuring all aspects of the community receive their due diligence in recruitment, and training up the next generation to take over integration duties. @Of_the_Ages / The Age of Utopia is serving a critical role as the voice of roleplay in the Cabinet, and will lead the way on interregional roleplay events.

@ConcreteSlab / Concrete Slab 1 is rizzing it up abroad, to my outmoded understanding, and I’m sure is not causing any diplomatic incidents as a result. @EmC / Emagination will work with the Delegate on building our WA culture, the perennial goal of OWL, but we have confidence in their ability. @Banexet / Drew Durrnil is the moon of the Coalition, reviving the Tidal Force and washing away the crusty old paint we have on the boat. We have our plans, in motion at a brisk pace, and I anticipate seeing many of them come to fruition in one form or another. The future demands it.

It is an immense pleasure, and an honor, to serve the Coalition in this capacity once again. With the spirit of lampshades, and llamas, at our side, we shall do great things.

As always, we are at your service.

Yours Truly,
@ProfessorHenn / Sporaltryus
Prime Minister of the South Pacific

The Idol had been chilling at Hana Macchia's coffee cafe for a few days due to a severe thunderstorm hitting the metropolis across several areas such as the downtown apartment complex, Love Live, 765 Production, and of course the cafe itself. Once the storm has been cleared by the morning of the 24th, the Idol along with friends went out to get some materials while supporting some local businesses along the way. Not much happened, and was quite peaceful.

As the day went on, the Idol was watching some funny video game videos when Hana Macchia approached them and tapped their shoulder. "Look!"

The Idol turned around, and saw a text message on Hana's phone. It was the flag of the Blanket Fort Legion! The Idol in excitement got up to prepare. ...Until they accidentally tripped. "It's okay, I've got this" said Hana, whom already sent out the message to all crystal idols and v-tubers. Alongside them and having arrived from a different universe, Kanon Shibuya (whom led the Blanket Fort Love Live division), Tomari Onitsuka (whom led the Blanket Fort Liella division), and Umise Yotsuha (leading the Blanket Fort Nijisanji division) all were called in as well.

Various Idols and V-tubers; both crystals and non-crystals alike had arrived at the Artificial Solar System... but something was off.

Not a moment to lose, Kanon Shibuya (whom has Yukari Yakumo's ability instead of Okina's) used gaps to teleport her way towards Cryptia, chasing after the Cut Glass. However, she was alone facing both the glass and Cinoci, and with no one else showing up to support her, she lost the fight.

Kanon running away to save herself from the Glasses wrath

Umise Yotsuha was next, chasing after the Green Glass Doors. She made it to the Greater North Sea. Snow had started falling around here, and the winds started to kick up a bit. Despite her efforts, the green glass doors managed to close and secure the checkpoint.

Tomari followed. With snow arriving down at both the Artificial Solar System and Hana Macchia's coffee cafe now, it was starting to get a bit difficult navigating through the dark winter night. She made her way towards the Freeland Republic pursuing the Glassware. All she could do was watch the glass take over another location with no way to stop them.

Crystalised Suzuhara stood proud, flying after the Fiberglass down to the New Alvarez Union. Sword in hand, she wanted the glass for herself, but the fiberglass had managed to slow her down and threw out her weapon. She lay in defeat as the glass had emerged victorious over an Eldritch God.

It was after this point the snow begun to fall faster and winds started howling as the winter storm grew in intensity. Some omnious energy started to flow out of Crystal Lulu Suzuhara... perhaps those Makai crystals... no, never mind that!

*static*

After having missed Kadek, the Fibre-Glass had flew towards Tilly Tonka and the Broccoli Factory. Crystalised Macchia, coffee in hand, had arrived in pursuit. But the powerful aroma of coffee wasn't enough against the BFL's overwhelming hot chocolate, in which the latter had won out. Crystal Macchia retreated though at least keeping her coffee safe. But the real question is, do either drinks even go well with Broccoli?

Sometime after Crystalised Takamiya had lost to the Glass Wool nullifying her lazers down at Walsingford, the Love Live district of the metropolitan area had lowered their drawbridges connecting them with not just other parts of the city, but also the wider multiverse outside. Turns out, trucks had arrived to deliver various supplies and stocks to warehouses and stores. But most importantly out of them all: glass and crystals.

However, Crystalised Muyu, whom was at Hana Macchia's place, took note and wanted to warn them, but was on borrowed time. She flew around a bit and followed the Flint Glass down to Novaris. The only dreams she ended up eating... was her own. In case you're curious, her dreams had a blackberry and cherry taste.

Crystalised Lize also had made the move to Love Live, but her brief message despite shouting got lost in the winter storm. From there she followed Mirror Glass down to New Ohio and ended up losing herself in the reflection.

The harsh winter conditions, fueled by the leaked energy of the Makai crystals, proceeded to take care of Crystalised Himawari's sunflower-based spell cards rendering them useless; froze Crystalised Nikaido's motorcycle, and Crystalised Kotoha getting completely lost in the snowy forest down at Katzen.

Crystalised Tenka was up. She followed the Lightning Glass back and forth through the central part of downtown before both ended up at the Artificial Solar System. Having been confused a bit, she watched as more glass made their way towards Love Live, with Uranium Glass ultimately leading the way through with Cinoci arriving to back up. Crystal Tenka followed after them through the winter storm, though was easing up as she travelled further.

Down at Love Live, the skies were calm with only gentle snowfall. Most Idols were sleeping; while Lulu Suzuhara, Okina Matara, and Lunar Hecatia had left a while ago to deal with the Makai crystal incident. However, there was one Idol that wasn't sleeping: Megumi Fujishima. She welcomed the Legion into the heart of downtown and had a chat with them, even offering to give them a tour. After several minutes and with no opposition besides Crystal Tenka, the Blanket Fort Legion were victorious, having managed to raise their flag right next to both LizeCorp HQ and Hasunosora Tower.

Megumi inviting BFL on a tour around downtown!

With the night over, all the Crystal Idols and V-tubers had managed to safely return to the Lunar Base despite the winter conditions, while Crystal Lulu in particular was taken back to LizeCorp under special containment. One poor soul had the misfortune of asking what happened, with non-crystal Lulu-*heavy static*

The skies got calmer everywhere else, though snow still fell for a bit longer before clearing. The Idol arrived back at Hana's cafe, bought a coffee, and sat at the sofa. Despite the circumstances, they had quite the adventure! After finishing the coffee, they drifted off into sleep.

...

Around midnight, two V-tubers (Youko Akabane and Meruto Kuramochi) had done a little investigation exploring the locations, coming across notes that BFL left behind. Going back to Love Live, they noticed a good chunk of glass and crystals went missing, and was used to forage more puppets. Indeed, looking around further they managed to spot Glass Thorn and Starlit Glass (the latter being a notable Chacapoyan export). But they came across something horrifying. After all the time the Idol and LizeCorp had chased after BFL looking for materials to build more crystal idols/V-tubers; the glass had managed to build something that was as an answer to them. Over nine months since Crystalised Kinako and a few others arrived at the scene, the glass had enough resources to build something that would become their greatest opponent yet. This was the beginning...

The rise of...

The Glass Idols.

I love this so much. No one has to put effort, is obligated to put effort, into their reports when they post them. Let alone post a report where there was no level of measurable success. Seeing the level of dedication going into a report for a night in which you were slinging it alone and not managing to defend anything successfully is absolutely admirable. I aspire to have the effort you have to ass myself for reports for every tag run, op jump, quorum raid, etc. win or lose. I am inspired and you have my utmost respect.
