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!

Despite any apprehensions you may have, declining such a friendly girl’s request is impossible. Besides, curiosity begets further questions!

“Tell me, have you met Nariko or Ichie?” You ask since they all studied in the same school.

“Edamura? Saionji? Of course, I know my adorable underlings! I’m their role model!” Lydie gets excited talking about your bovines. “Such a clever duo! Praise to me for leaving the world of academics for their holding, while I conquer more impressive records against the rest of the nation.”

“Not to be forward again, but it sounds like you couldn’t match their intellect.” Again, Verity has her reservations.

“I’ll admit, it’d take me twice the effort to match theirs, but I’m a year older, comparing our academic achievements is meaningless — we’re not competing in the same playing field. Unless they decide to enter my realm of expertise, there’s no need for me to brag! Ohohoho~!” Lydie is proud of her own achievements; sports are her thing. But can Lydie truly match Ichie’s insane speed? You doubt it. “Speaking of them, do you know where they are? Both have completely disappeared without leaving a trace. I’m concerned that I might be next! The academy can’t lose more shining stars!”

“W-W-Well, they were at the debate.” Donna recalls.

“They are alive? But are they thriving? Discovering more about themselves in this new environment?” Lydie wants to know.

“I’d say so, yeah.” You nod.

“M-Ms. Edamura will be the future vice-president of the Student Council. She has my vote, arf!” Donna barks without meaning to.

“How marvelous! I’m not the only one who discovered a beautiful world outside the walls of the academy! Perhaps I underestimate my own influence on my underlings, my humbleness is unmatched.” Lydie puts her hands on her hips. “But truly, only the uninspired get complacent with such a narrow view…”

“As for Ichie, she’s doing well enough for herself!” You don’t know how to hype her up, but she’s trying to be a better person.

“Excellent news! Seeing them again is a must. You know them both, I take! You’ve done well by keeping your watchful eye over those two. Aren’t they wonderful?” Lydie wants to see those two again! “I can feel the connection between all of us! There’s no doubt in my mind, you’re the one I seek. The man for the job…”

“I wanted to ask, anything I can help you with?” You offer. Maybe it’s your undisclosed eighth sense, or you’re looking for trouble, but Lydie might need a hand!

“Oh la la~! Yes! Be my boyfriend!” Lydie asks again! Huh, you should’ve expected it. “With you by my side, I’ll prove your worth to the Church – it’s the only way they’ll allow me to return! I beg of you, on my knees if I must! Give me any challenge, and I’ll prove my worth!”

>>6306030


Welp, a second confession in the span of an hour. Neither Donna nor Verity react as bothered as last time, Lydie’s words have lost all luster…

You did want to meddle with the White Flames. Is this the best approach to take?

How do you respond?

>“Sure, I’ll be your boyfriend.” Don’t hesitate. Pretend to be her boyfriend.
>“Any way of doing that without the boyfriend bit? I wanna help, but this is way too sudden.” Be rational.
>“You can have this plushy instead.” Hand Lydie a Johnny plushy.
>You won’t. As soon as Lydie asks, the others arrive (Rora, Pansori, and Celia). Trouble ensues.
>Write In.

“Sure, I’ll be your boyfriend.” You say without hesitation.

“Excuse me?” Verity doesn’t believe what she heard.

“H-H-H-H-Huh?” Donna pretends dogs don’t have better hearing.

“Y-You will?” Lydie has turned all red.

Nobody in this room expected a quick response, less so this kind of response. They’re all flabbergasted, their brains malfunctioning, trying to connect to a code of conduct fit for the situation. The looks of horror, confusion, and glee are unique to each of them, but they somewhat combine in a ball of mixed emotions. All this to say, if you don’t say something, the situation will be stuck.

“Yeah, I don’t mind pretending to be your boyfriend.” You clarify.

“Pretend…?!” Now Lydie is acting like the other two.

“You two just met, you have no right to expect this much.” Verity doesn’t try to throw this in the athletic girl’s face, but she does feel smug.

“I-I-I-I-I was ready to say it too…” Donna feels the same panic as she once did in the other room. Is confessing her feelings her way to cope?

“Whatever it is, whatever it is. Don’t be surprised if it turns out the pretending bit renders itself pointless, my equal. But thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” Lydie will take her chances as she places her arms around yours. She looks unbelievably happy, her grinning cheerful self was not even close to looking as fulfilled as she acts now. “But here, behold this flier!”

“Oh? What’s this?” You grab the piece of paper handed to you. It’s some sort of Church Bootcamp for aspiring new members. If you didn’t know any better, you’d say it’s similar to the indoctrination methods the Cult of Chernobog pulled off. Perhaps, this is where they got the idea?

“Our excellency, the Archbishop of the Church, will host a three-day camp in which aspiring members might elevate their ranks within the order, if they complete a row of tests. It’s also an introductory event for new prospects, but that’s an aside.” Lydie explains. “Our mission, my love, is to have a meeting with her — and pledge my case!”

“Her? Meaning the Archbishop...?” Verity leaves her mouth open.

“Indeed!” Lydie nods. “This is incredibly exciting, isn’t it?! Don’t be stressed, my love. I’ll figure out the details, all you need to do is stay true to yourself. And now, I shall never leave your side to build our chemistry, my trophy!”

Lydie has become a parasite, err, a lovely temporary member of your party. Donna is next to you like a police dog…

Before planning a memorable ending for this event, you feel the need to do one important task on your own. Well, not technically alone! *They* will accompany you…

“Before we get to it, I want you girls to have a moment for yourselves, while I figure something out on my own. I’ll call you back with my secret signal, okay?” You turn down Lydie’s advances for the time being.

“But I spend time on my own... all the time!” Lydie doesn’t feel like her regular life has much to offer.

“W-We can spend the time together!” Donna changes her tune without a hitch. Too friendly for a guardian dog…

“As long as my inner thoughts don’t have a chance to torment me, I’m game!” Lydie will gladly not be left alone.

“Have fun together, everyone! I’ll be back sooner than later!” You wink at this lovely trio. They all turn away, but then...

“A moment, please, what’s the signal?” Verity asks a little too late…

You and Bagna are gone in the blink of an eye... Lydie knows the connection between all of you will be enough, this doesn’t satisfy Verity.


And so, Johnny Ando (you) spread the joy of the Seven Johnnys around the city, these are the reactions of those who were blessed by their presence…

>[Meanwhile at the Prison Party’s house, inside Sally’s room…]

A Bubbly Vera comfortably rests on the captain’s bed, all her senses have been subdued by a random group of thankful former prisoners rotating with the sole objective to comfort her. She lies with a smile, waiting for what’s next. The Prisoner Spa is too strong…

Through a tiny gap between her eyes, she sees a shadowy figure with the light projected behind him, she identifies him with ease…

“Johnny… When are you coming over…? I miss you...” Vera acts like a happy drunk, almost slurring her words.

“I’m always with you…” You whisper as you hand her over a Johnny Plushy. The silly mouse girl hugs it like it’s god’s gift to earth. You then tuck her to make her comfier, and kiss her forehead goodnight…

“I love you so much...” Vera falls asleep while hugging the tiny buddy. It’s hers forever...

>[Meanwhile at the Prison Party’s house, by the kitchen…]

Chef Kushi stayed the night waiting for the mysterious chef to return, but he never came. Familiarizing with the other girls was entertaining enough, but she feels unfulfilled. Only working can keep her mind off it. But she’s struggling.

“Where is he? Is he ever coming back? Did he lie to me?” Kushi bites her thumb’s nail as she watches the food stew. “Give me a word, a signal, anything…!”

A Johnny plushy descends from the heavens and lands on the kitchen counter (you put him there while invisible.) He holds a note that reads ‘I’ll be there with you soon…’

Kushi grabs the note, pets the Johnny, sighs, and affirms: “I’ll wait for you as long as you want…” Now she has a new kitchen assistant.

>[Meanwhile at the Calamity Clinic, by the locker room…]

Nurse Katastrophic Calamity is having a difficult but mundane day at the office. With heavy steps, she approaches her locker, and her purse falls out once it's open. The nurse chuckles at this misfortune, being careless snapped her out of her bad mood. As she’s about to return it inside, a little Johnny buddy sits on what was the purse’s place seconds ago.

Eyes wide open, Kata makes a double-take. “If only you were the real thing...” The nurse then realizes, he *can* turn invisible. “Handsome, are you around? You know you can’t hide your flame from me.” But gets no response.

With her eyes back on the locker, she notices the little Johnny buddy carrying a letter that reads ‘our date is fast approaching.’

Nurse Calamity’s smile touches both extremes of her rosy face cheeks. “Sorry, mini-handsome, I spoke too soon, didn’t I?” She pinches the plushy’s face, she’ll keep him around…


>[Meanwhile at Katastrophic Calamity’s apartment…]

Mysterious Calamity is waiting for the commotion attached to her escape to die down. It’s dangerous if she decides to go back to her regular routine. Her Uncle and Cousin advised her to spend the day locked up here. She has a jolly time when her family is around! But when they aren’t around, she resorts to watching TV, or taking a peek at a novel…

“Ah, to be locked away once more. At least the book selection here is to my liking…” Misty puts down the last book of her (And Kata’s) favorite childhood series. Her eyes drift back to the television, there to make some noise rather than entertain. A romantic scene plays out. “Hate to say it, but I’m more lonely than bored… I’m resorting to talking to myself. Bad habits never die, as they say.” Her laugh echoes through the empty apartment.

Then she notices by her side, a friendly face in the form of a plushy holding a note.

“Katastrophic, you and your sense of humor.” Misty chuckles lightheartedly. This duo always manages to cheer the other up, but… “How did you get here, handsome little buddy?” Misty grabs the Johnny Plushy as she wonders what trick her cousin pulled. It wasn’t here before. “This note…”

Misty realizes the penmanship belongs to someone else… It reads ‘Let’s keep each other’s company!’

“Tststsststs, to play along with her whims, he’s such a gentleman.” Misty puts the plushy on her lap. “Let’s stay together then…”

Misty and Johnny Plushy will marathon a bunch of movies together...

>[Meanwhile, at the Oro apartment complex…]

Ivanna Tavarez is flat on her back, looking at her apartment’s ceiling from the floor next to her bed. She isn’t moving, but wide awake — muttering unintelligible words. Empty bags of Spicy Snackos surround her like she’s a snow angel. Did she fall from the bed? Trip with the bags? Or gave up on walking midway? You don’t know. What you know is that her whole room is a mess, and that, judging by her appearance, she hasn’t slept in days.

“If I sleep, the visions will get stronger again. If I sleep, the visions will get stronger again. If I sleep, the visions will get stronger again.” Ivanna chants to herself. “No, I don’t need to rest. Stop saying it. You’re not concerned about my well-being, you’re mental hallucinations. You want me to eat more cake, don’t you? I don’t need it. I’m in control. You don’t exist. You don’t exist. You don’t exi…”

Ivanna sees a Johnny Plushy looming above her face. Well, a Johnnini one. To hide your identity, you added the mustache and hat.

“Take a rest, will you? I’m worried.” You say while invisible.

Ivanna stays put. She magically floats back to her bed and gets tucked in (you did it)...

With a Johnnini plushy by her right side, and a Chef Kata plushy by the other, Ivanna decides to fall asleep — muttering an apology for ever doubting you…

Ivanna will lose her mind whenever she wakes up, but she’s never getting rid of the plushies…

>[Meanwhile at the Dean’s office of the Golden Peak Academy…]

Principal Gainsbourg hangs up the phone. It was an intense call. Her fingers still lingering over the device, she adjusts her chair so slightly to look at the front of the desk.

“Price…” Principal Gainsbourg hovers the phone over her mouth, then notices…

Over one of the two chairs for guests…

There it is…

a Plushy.

A *delinquent* plushy.

*The* delinquent plushy.

“What in the…?! That sniveling brat!” Gainsbourg grits her teeth, and launches her phone at it! The plushy moves its neck to dodge the assault. “W-What the…?”

The plushy… dodged her…?!

“T-This needs to be investigated.” Gainsbourg is about to grab the plushy away, but a mysterious someone enters the room…

Who knows where this poor little buddy will end up?

>[Meanwhile at the Johnny Convention…]

Rora, Pansori, and Celia walk together from stand to stand. The hamburger girl is one or two steps behind, no matter how much the duo brings her forward to walk alongside them, Celia always walks more slowly to create some distance. Despite their disappointment, the girls decide to let her be.

“You sure you don’t wanna buy anything?” Rora asks. “I mean, like, we can all contribute together to buy you something!”

“I-I don’t want your charity…” Celia blushes, clearly too shy to agree.

“It’s not charity if we do it together! You know, like the hug! You liked the hug, didn’t you?” Rora disagrees. Celia looks away.

“Let her be, she’s happy with her cute little plushy. I’d be too! I love collecting them too!” Pansori smiles.

“H-How do you know that?! Did Johnny tell you anything?!” Celia is very embarrassed.

“Uhm, aren’t you holding it?” Pansori acts confused, but she saw you placing it there.

“Huh? Huh?! HUH?!” Celia didn’t even notice that her Johnny plushy was back. “J-Johnny, are you okay? Talk to me, damn it.”

Some girls give Celia a weird look for obvious reasons. Rora asks them to move along. Pansori tries not to laugh.

“Hey, like, doesn’t he have a note?” Aurora points out that the plushy is holding it.

“I’m fine, kisses…” Celia reads the letter and turns all red. She hugs the plushy. “Idiot.”

Both Aurora and Pansori believe this is way too adorable, and that’s when…

>>6306889

...the signal is thrown! You call everyone back to the mission tent: You, Aurora, Pansori, Celia, Donna, Verity, Lydie and Bagna.

“I’m glad you all could make it.” You adjust your glasses.

“I don’t understand the signal. How did everyone figure it out?” Verity is very annoyed that somehow everyone got in here as requested.

“…” Celia really wants to touch your face to verify your identity. She keeps looking down to her plushy, then back to you.

“Uhm, hello there, I’m Pansori! This is Aurora! And I’m not sure if you know Celia already.” Pansori didn’t think about it.

“W-W-We’re classmates. And nice to meet you.” Donna retorts. “I’m Donna, this is Verity…”

“Nice to meet you.” Verity nods.

“And this is—” Donna gets interrupted!

“I’m Johnny’s newest girlfriend: Lydie! I’ll passionately stay by his side as long as my mortal coil allows it.” Lydie is proud to be with you.

“Pretend-to-be-girlfriend.” Verity clarifies.

“I also helped organize this event! Praise me, if you enjoy it! If you didn’t, I’ll assure you that we’ll impress you next time!” Lydie puts her hands on her hips. “I’ll learn so much about my treasure!”

“This place is loads of fun! Look, there’s even a photo booth!” Rora shows the pics her trio took. They made Celia smile somehow.

“We thoroughly tested it as well! Behold! For your wallet too!” Lydie hands over her own pictures with Donna and Verity.

“What do you need us for?” Celia decides it’s time to cut the crap.

“We’re ready for anything.” Pansori is determined.

It’s time to prepare the grand finale for the event. You have plenty of helping hands here; use them wisely!

What do you do to end this segment?

If this convention doesn’t end in the most entertaining way, you’d feel like a failure. This whole thing is about you after all! You dream big, bigger than anyone has ever dreamed before. Then you scale it down, way down, until it becomes feasible. Now your idea is ready.

“Everyone, I need a Giant Johnny plushy costume.” You get all serious.

“I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I saw a couple roaming around…!” Donna acts like a rescuer dog! “They look so squishy.”

“A costume? Like the train station mascot?” Verity’s mind goes elsewhere as she tries to understand your scheme.

“Oh, I know the one, it’s the cow in the train conductor uniform! She’s so lovely, she gave me a ticket once when I forgot my wallet!” Pansori remembers it!

“A-ha! My dear love was right about your cow affinity, my mooing-shy buddy.” Lydie chuckles. Verity covers her face in shame. “Regardless, I’ll sort this out.”

“After turning back to normal, he wants to be a plushy again?” Celia understands something about you. “He likes when we snuggle…?” She mutters to herself, then raises her voice up. “Y-You know, you don’t have to be a plushy if you want to cuddle.” Celia opens her arms!

“I know! I need the costume for something else!” You explain. Celia dies from the embarrassment of even suggesting it.

“Aww, I really thought we were gonna cuddle! With how difficult it is for Celia to open up...” Rora laments as she wants to pamper someone.

“Hmm, yeah, makes me feel bad for the bed here too… Nobody used it as far as I can tell.” Pansori wants to relive the hugging session you had together. She’s also lying, she knows about Celia’s cuddling session.

“Nobody frowns in my presence when the solution is so obvious.” Lydie has an idea! “Once I obtain the costume, my gem will be big enough for everyone to cuddle with!”

“Woah, you’re so smart!” Aurora loves the idea!

“Cuddling with the biggest one, genius!” Donna agrees!

“Girls, follow me, we’ll earn the Premium Cuddling Experience!” Lydie leads the way outside the tent. The army of huggers follow her lead...

You’re given the perfect costume to conceal your identity. Once inside your big plushy self, the warmth is difficult to handle, so you take your shirt off… Wearing two wasn’t a good idea. You put them inside Bagna.

All the girls hug you in your new form and grab some pictures. You feel like a celebrity. The bed has fulfilled its purpose; now it’s time to move on. You tell them that you plan to go over to the main stage and maybe give some words to your fans. Being inside a costume isn’t as easy as it seems, and carrying Bagna is a little challenging with your nob arms, so your army leads you to your destination point.

The group looked so odd doing this; everyone in the vicinity decided to pay attention to your nonsense.

“Huh, it seems our event organizer has a word for us! She’s always full of surprises...” The announcer says as she notices the entire gang on stage. Unplanned. She wants to stay professional.

“Not me, *him*!” Lydie points at the big puffy Johnny (You.) “Interview him, please!”

“Right...” The announcer walks over to the giant plushy from the stand. “Everyone, please give a warm welcome to Big Puff Johnny!”

You wave at the amassing crowd. The worst you get is a polite reception. They like you despite the silliness… and not even being the real you. Well, kinda. You’re You. They don’t know it… yet.

“Let me guess! You’re here to tell us about the fabulous products and services we’re providing at the event, right?” The playful announcer says.

“No.” You retort.

“Huh?” The Announcer notices your voice is a little deeper than she expected…

“What I want to say is…” You take the head of the costume off to reveal your true identity…

Every single woman in this room freezes on the spot, mouths all half-open, boiling red from tops to bottom — and all watch you say what you want to say…

What do you say?

>“It’s too hot in this thing, sorry…” Be apologetic.
>“Don’t listen to Bubbles! She’s a liar!” Throw Scarlet under the bus even though they probably don’t know you call her Bubbles.

You gotta tell your fans how you feel! It’s the least they deserve after pouring so much love at you, justifiably or not.

“What’s good?™” You shine so bright that it made everyone in the room forget their initial bewilderment. Not to say the reaction is much different as the whole crowd continues in place, but there’s a feeling of clarity in the room. Her cheeks are not as cheery as before, but they look happier (?). That’s the power of a good catchphrase!

“Huh…” The reporter is busy basking in your dummy glory. She’s supposed to ask a follow up question, but you’ll continue talking instead.

“Thank you for coming to this event! I’m humbled by your affection! You’re lovely!” You smile to the crowd! Not much a response yet, the astonishment is overwhelming. They’re listening still, as all the faces looking back at you are redder and redder thanks to your actions. “Ehem, line up if you want a hug.”

Like if seconds can’t be wasted, all your fans get in line in an oddly orderly fashion. They can’t take their eyes off you. Your working crew put a table in front of you like this has become a Book Singing. They all so cooperative. But you have no books, only hugs, you hope they don’t mind.

The firsts to come around are a bunch of slightly familiar faces…

“Sorry about lying earlier, Ithoughtitwasgoingtobethebestcourseofactiontosavemyfriend’sfacesevenifIactedbizarre.” It’s Donna’s friends! Or war comrades? She’s the one who keeps failing to appear collected, still shaking.

“It’s alright, I don’t find you strange. You had to do what you have to do.” You hug this proper looking girl! “You’re a good girl!”

“Thank you, your words are very calming.” This girl reached heaven and won’t be back down on earth any time soon. She gracefully spins away. You wave her goodbye.

Lydie indicates the next one to come over!

“Don’t you find it hilarious how everyone loses their mind in front of you? Like, you’re the guiding light for all of us sad sacks, but it’s totally cringe that they can’t hold it together. Haha! It’s fun to tease them though.” It’s Johnny Merch Girl! She… has more items on her. She’s wearing half your costume just like you…

“I find it very cute. I’m not much better if I’m honest, I know how difficult it is to overcome your nerves!” You shrug. If anyone knows about being awkward, it’s you!

“Hahaha… Is that so...? Can you hold me for longer…?” Merchandise Fan Girl drops her facade.

“Sure!” You hug the funny girl as long as she wants! Which means she melts midway, and needs to be pulled out by security (A suspiciously sunglasses and mask wearing fan girl (You think it’s Gwendolyne.))

Aurora shows the way to the next fan girl!

“Master Ando, it’s riveting to see you once again. Have you given any thought to my proposition? Despite appearances, I’m a well-qualified maid OR butler. I have experience working at Cafes and as a cleaner. There’s no task humiliating enough I wouldn’t perform.” It’s Butler Fan Girl! She’s acting way more composed than last time!

You don’t know why, but you hesitate to answer her…

How do you respond?

>“I can’t afford it, but I can hug you! Here!” Cheer her up!
>“I’m actually looking for bovines, sorry.” Be apologetic.
>“Talk it over with Vera! I’m sure we can arrange something!” Make more bad decisions today!
>Write In.

Who shows up next?

>The fan girls you interacted with as Mae.
>Bubbles.
>Round Announcer Girl.
>Not Nina.
>Newspaper girl.
>The Dastardly Liu.
>Write In.

(Only reply of the day, we continue tomorrow!)

You can’t decline a proposition without seeing what she can offer! You actually like to hire people who do their best and beyond!

“I’ll need to test your skills and sense of propriety first if I’m going to employ you.” You get serious despite your lack of shirt. “As a test, keep this apartment clean for a week.” You give her Nina’s apartment number and address, Neko is probably making a mess of it right now!

“Hmmhf?!” Bagna reacts for the first time in a while. This is a good thing for her!

“Thank you for such an opportunity, Master Ando! I’ll showcase my abilities dutifully! I’ll receive glowing reviews!” Maid Butler Fan Girl grabs the piece of paper with all the information and gets a hug! It’s very comforting for you both! “You’ll hear from me soon-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n.”

Security (Gwendolyne(?)) takes this fan girl away after her program gets stuck…

After a couple of random fans, Donna leads a familiar face to the table...

“M-Mister Ando, uhm, Johnny! C-Can I call you Johnny? I-It’s so nice to meet you for the first time ever!” It’s Tina, but she has been Un-Uccelli’d! She looks damn exhausted from all the work supplanting the curvy teacher, in an odd way, she looks the part still! Poor soul. She’s yawning. You can’t imagine the paperwork.

“Oh, it’s you, Tina! Nice to see you. I told you I’d never forget a cute face.” You wink.

“EEEP?!” Tina panics! “Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!” Poor girl is spinning in circles, she wants to come up with an excuse. You give her a big hug instead! “O-Oh yes! Oh yes! Oh yes!” That’s a change and a half!

“I hope we can see each other again.” You smile after the embrace.

Tina’s brain melts into a puddle of love, she can’t process a thing, but nods slowly… She’s taken away again by your new (?) security guard (Celia), who is ashamed for both of them.

Lydie brings the next fan girl… It’s the Newspaper Girl! Real journalism has arrived!

“Can I get an interview, sir?” The Newspaper is both thirsty for a scoop and you!

“Sorry, just a question and a hug. I can’t let everyone wait for long!” You apologetically retort.

“That’d be more than enough! Everyone wants to know if you planned this move from the beginning! Is that so? Would you say you were convinced to be here today by the event organizers from Golden Peak, or was it the original committee’s doing?” The Newspaper girl will make note of your response. Either Lydie or Vera will get the credit.

“I’d love to sound cooler, but this is 100% improvised. I noticed this when I was passing by.” You scratch the back of your head. “But I’m here because I saw all the love everyone has poured in. Look, I’m a nobody. I haven’t done anything to deserve this attention. In a year’s time, nobody will care. But if I can cheer you all up by being an idiot and doing this now, I’m all in.”

“Don’t talk yourself down.” Newspaper girl puts her hand on the table, not bothering to take any notes. “There are many misconceptions about you, yes, the public at large will never be aware of who you are, but with due diligence, some of us have found out about your *real* achievements aside from the buffalo. From your journey of self improvement from a wimpy kid to what you are now, to your bravery from warning us about the school shooter, to saving actual lives during — not one — but two terrorist attacks, to ending the gang turf war among schools, and even aiding those assaulted by the nefarious cult to get medical attention. You’re an inspiration to many, myself included.”

Newspaper girl speeds through pics and videos of testimonies of all the things she mentioned to show as proof. Many students you can’t quite recognize at first, some city passersby that are vaguely familiar from incidents of long past, but then you see your friends and acquaintances — people like Terry, Henry, Soh, Matilda, Trent, Liu, Gwendolyne, Bruna, Yukika, Holly, Genesis, Giorsal (?!!), Emily, Ursula (Amelia’s Bear Claw teammate), Eloise & Phoebe (why are you counting this Rich Duo as one?), the keyboard guy (Tonu), and many more.

“And don’t sweat it, We’re not divulging any of this. We don’t want to blow your cover or any of your plans!” Newspaper girl smirks. “We’re rooting for you!”

“T-Thank you, I mean it. And keep it that way!” You weren’t expecting to have a heartfelt conversation in the middle of this. Newspaper girl gets a chuckle out of your reaction. “And, uhm, was my answer good enough for you? And do you wanna hug still? Because I wanna thank you for real.”

“A hug is important for my review, yes, besides no sign of affection can pierce my journalistic integrity.” Newspaper girl gives you a big hug… She’s enjoying it more than she thought, which helps to spark her curiosity. “I-I know we’re out of time, but one more question, how did you get those scars on your chest?! Please, give me a thorough answer! M-Many girls are interested in this kind of literature...!”

Your security guards (Celia and Gwendolyne) silence this voice of justice…

Aurora brings the next girl to the stage, her former tag team partner…

“Bubbles.” You address Scarlet first before she even says a word.

“S-Stop calling me Bubbles.” Scarlet frowns. “You knew about the event? Why didn’t you tell me?”

>>6307820

“Did you enjoy your ice cream, Bubbles?” You furrow your eyebrows…

“Okay, before you say anything, I was going to do this for free ‘cause Liu begged me to. But then she came up with the ice cream as a reward. What I was supposed to say? No? She knows she’s way too adorable to tell her no! And she was in a panic!” Scarlet defends herself from these accusations.

“I couldn’t say No to that face either, yeah!” Aurora agrees with the Liu assessment.

“See?” Bubbles gets all smug.

“Psst, Aurora, we are meant to be quiet! Let the spotlight fall on the guest! It’s likely all the action they are ever going to get.” Lydie tells Rora to keep it down.

“H-Hey!” Scarlet doesn’t like that comment.

“Unless you ask for *my* advice, you’d be in awe about the things I have accomplished in such a short amount of time with my dear trophy.” Lydie winks.

“W-What is she saying?” Scarlet wants answers from you, since your pretend-girlfriend looks like she’ll continue bragging if she asks her. You don’t know what the big deal is, you have a pretend ex-wife! You crossed this line way before.

“Are you here for a hug or not, Bubbles? Because I want you to ask nicely if you want one.” You ignore the question.

“N-Not exactly, I mean, I want one! But like, I’m here ‘cause of her…” Scarlet steps away to show…

Giorsal?!

She’s in a school uniform! And she looks… oddly adorable!

“She wants to talk to you!” Scarlet explains briefly.

“Woah! Gio, I didn’t recognize you!” Rora is in shock.

“Huh? Gio, what are you doing here?” You’re surprised too.

“I’m here to warn you about an important issue, but…” Giorsal gets all red. “W-What’s all this?! Why aren’t you wearing a shirt?! Why is everyone playing along?! What kind of depraved event is this?! Has everyone lost their minds...?!!”

Giorsal is losing it… and Pansori is taking pics of everyone you’ve interacted with!

How do you respond?

>“Hey, I don’t want to be scolded by a 30-something-year-old woman in a school uniform!” Frown.
>“I mean, kinda, but at least we’re all having fun! Do you want a hug?” Act cheerfully!
>“Thanks for the other day, by the way, your help came in handy!” Praise the Judge and ignore her concerns!
>Stuff Giorsal in Bagna. This is a very mature response.
>Write In.

Who shows up next?

>Phoebe and Eloise! The Rich girl duo! They bankrolled this event with Lydie too!
>Matilda. She’s here to say hi.
>Cocoa the Policewoman. Uhm, this isn’t good…
>Vera. She’s a tiny bit angry.
>Many girls! Everyone gets their hug! And the event ends on a cheerful note! (End of the segment.)

If you have determined something today it’s that there’s no girl in this room who you want to see upset. This includes Giorsal! She’s reasonable, so she’ll hear you out. Probably. She did when you called her flat, so this can’t be worse than that.

“I mean, huh, kinda, yeah.” You scratch the back of your head. “But at least we’re all having fun! Do you want a hug?” You act all cheerful! “Thanks for the other day, by the way, your help came in handy!”

“A-A hug between us? Huh?!” Giorsal gets embarrassed. “This is ridiculous! At least put a shirt on when proposing something like this.”

“The line is literally to hug him.” Verity finds this ridiculous.

“Isn’t him being shirtless the best part though?” Rora is confused.

“Y-You’re not supposed to say that out loud, Rora.” Scarlet wants everyone to save face.

“Not a word, I said. I’m letting the truth pass only once!” Lydie nudges the big sister Dewitt and Verity for decorum’s sake.

“You don’t want a hug then?” You get all sad…

“...Well, I-I don’t hate the idea on principle, but...” Giorsal had a moment of hesitation, but it wasn’t enough to sway her.

“Can I at least have a picture? You look so cute!” You say.

“C-Cute?! Me?!” Giorsal is weak to compliments.

“Don’t worry, I have taken plenty of pics.” Pansori winks.

“Y-You have?!” Giorsal gets even more embarrassed.

“Hold on, everyone! Duh, I got it! This hug stuff is so easy to fix!” Rora approaches you and puts the top of the costume back on you. “Here, he’s fluffy like you like ‘em!”

For some reason, the room’s mood takes a dive...

“A-Aurora, I don’t know what you’re referring to, and I implore you not to give them wrong ideas.” Giorsal doesn’t know what Rora is implying and doesn’t want to find out! “And… huh...”

“Go for it, quick!” Bubbles gets impatient.

Giorsal hesitates before approaching, then throws herself at you for a full costume hug! She’s too self-conscious to do it normally! You feel like you’re helping at a birthday party, as funny as it feels, you take the chance to be candid.

“Seriously, Gio. Thanks for everything.” You whisper.

“Don’t make me regret it, I really trust you even if I don’t know what to make of this...” Giorsal does hug you tightly! She means it! “W-Wait! I almost forgot! I’m here to warn about Gordon Senior’s plan to experiment with flames. You need to be careful about your mission.” Giorsal whispers the last bit now that she’s close. “I’ll text you the details.”

“Huh, we already dealt with that.” You take the Johnny Plushy top off. The mood in the room improves! “Thanks for the sentiment though.”

“Oh! That’s a relief!” Giorsal smiles, then her warm feelings do a 180. “I did all of this for nothing…?!”

“I could’ve told you that if you told me first, dummy.” Scarlet pouts. “Anyway, out of the way, my turn! My hug!” The redhead gets closer as the cloudhead makes way.

“A little desperate, aren’t you, Bubbles?” You raise an eyebrow.

“Yeah, so what? It’s your fault for having your hair all messy like that…” Scarlet sits on your lap to embrace you. It feels tighter than ever.

“Hehe, thanks for putting up with me, Scarlet.” You genuinely say as you feel touched.

“You know I’d do it a thousand times for you, dork.” Scarlet turns redder somehow. This is a long hug.

“*Ehem*, this position breaches the rules of conduct, and you’ve taken way too much time. You two will be expelled from the room.” Security Guard Gwendolyne takes your Bubbles away.

“W-Wait, me as well?!” Giorsal can’t believe it! The security doesn’t hesitate.

Bubbles and Cloud Head are expelled from the room… You wave them goodbye.

But this is just the first duo you’ll deal with, because coming next, led by Donna, it’s the rich girl duo: Phoebe and Eloise!

“Yoohoo~! Johnny, it’s us! Your buddies you can’t abandon! We’re so glad to be in this establishment of poor quality and ventilation as long as you’re here with us!” Eloise waves with a smile.

“You’re always a welcome surprise! We apologize for not having the proper accommodations for your visit. It’s all our fault. Our BF is so wise! She warned us to be prepared for when — not if — you sneak into this event!” Phoebe laments. Yu Yan knows about the event? Wait, she thought you were going to be here no matter what? That smug devil knows you well… “We’ll admit we didn’t want to blow our budget much more than we did.”

“A mistake I take all the responsibility for, even if it was mostly Phoebe’s call!” Eloise acts like this is a good thing.

“Don’t worry at all, I don’t think it matters. And I believe I speak for everyone by saying that I’m having a blast.” You shrug. Both girls smile brightly. This is what they wanted out of this! And not just for you, but for everyone else, too. “So this is what you two meant by bankrolling the fan club.”

“It was my idea to foster the relationship with all the brands, and such an event is an obvious decision to gather everyone for it.” Phoebe explains.

“If it wasn’t for my handling to speed up the process, who knows when that would’ve been!” Lydie needs to add this note to look good.

“Wait, aren’t we supposed not to say anything, hmm?” Rora reprimands Lydie all smugly.

“If we can’t talk, you can’t talk either. Mhm!” Pansori agrees.

“Those are the rules.” Verity points out.

“…” Lydie realizes that this is karma and bites her lip. People piling up on her hurts her feelings, but she stays professional.

“Don’t be mean to each other…” You want a friendly atmosphere! “Anyway, I take it you're here for some hugs too, right?” You wiggle your eyebrows at Eloise & Phoebe.

“Naturally! We’ve been on our best behavior, and we deserve praise!” Eloise is pretty direct! “As long as it was up to your standards!”

“We did our best, as you say!” Phoebe agrees.

“Then come over!” You open your arms.

“Eloise, after you!” Phoebe lets her business partner hug you first! They’re much friendlier to each other since last time!

“No, Phoebe, your contributions were invaluable today! Please, be first!” Eloise insists!

“Very well!” Phoebe jumps to the occasion, enough niceties for her! You hug the club’s fine investor! She reaches cloud 9!

“M-My turn!” Eloise gets into the action! You hug Voidfried’s owner too! Cloud 9 isn’t an exclusive club...

With the hugs delivered, the duo wants to extend their cuddling session! The proposition is shut down by everyone, citing that everyone here is equal, and they need to be patient. Neither are happy to comply, but they do. Talk about quick character progression!

A few girls later, a piercing glare makes it to the table…

“Johnny.” Matilda uses said piercing glare to great effect.

“Mat. You came to say hi?” You cross your fingers. Donna’s ears perk up. She remembers the name!

The emotionless girl keeps on watching you.

“...I’m not tired, Mat. I’m in control of all my faculties.” You clarify.

Matilda sighs. “I believe you.” In a way, she can’t appreciate this answer.

“Were you working behind the scenes?” You raise an eyebrow.

“I can’t disclose it.” Matilda won’t admit she Bubbles’d it!

“So this is the Matilda you spoke of!” Lydie meddles into the conversation. “My dear beloved implied you can match my physical prowess! Do you believe you can keep up?”

“I don’t know who you are, but you’re asking things backward. Can *you?*” Matilda is cocky.

“N-No, don’t compete.” Donna raises her voice. “J-J-J-J-J-Johnny wants you two to get along.”

“And for the last time, Lydie, you’re stealing a girl’s spotlight again.” Verity wants the rules to be respected. Lydie pouts and backs down. “Apologies, continue your talk. But make it quick, please.”

“So, you want a hug?” You ask the unofficial tomato while your eyebrows wave.

“A handshake should suffice.” Matilda slightly blushes. “Perhaps, a fist bump.”

“I only do hugs. So come here!” You open your arms.

Matilda complies with a sigh… It’s a tight hug! She takes the opportunity to whisper…

“Ridiculous attire aside, you don’t look half bad today...” Matilda… Matilda has ill intentions.

“T-Thank you! I’m glad we got to see each other today.” You smile. The fit girl nods and walks away…

Verity brings the next… Johnny? Remember how multiple Giant Johnny costumes are roaming around like yours? Here’s a different one. You imagine there’s a girl inside.

“You wanna do the double costume hug?” You’re already loving the idea as you pick up your other half!

“Come closer… I need a favor to ask.” A goofy high-pitched voice comes from the costume.

“Uhm… you don’t wanna do the double costume hug…?” You sound heartbroken.

“…B-Be quiet, I need help with this costume. I’ve been stuck like this all day. Everyone keeps making me do stuff instead of listening.” The mysterious Giant Johnny reveals.

“What?” You raise an eyebrow.

“I can’t take the top off! I don’t want to stay like this anymore! HELP!” The goofy voice is gone! You feel like you’ve heard this fury before!

“Y-You should’ve said it sooner.” Verity jumps in to help out!

Verity, Aurora, Pansori, Celia, Donna, and Lydie all work together to take the top off to reveal…!

Officer Cocoa?!

“Gah! At long last…!” Cocoa can breathe! She’s not wearing her usual uniform, just a tank top from what you can tell. You hand her a water bottle, which she seems to appreciate.

“Huh…” Rora is slowly realizing who this is.

“Here for a hug, officer?” You raise an eyebrow.

“Huh?!” Cocoa *doesn’t* understand what’s going on. “K-Keep it down.” She doesn’t want anyone to realize what her job is.

“Sorry to say, at this point, but the only way not to raise suspicion is with a hug…” You whisper back. “This whole line is for it.”

“Hm, yeah, I know who you are!” Rora has concluded!

“I’M JUST A FAN! Hahaha!” Cocoa jumps into your arms! “Where’s your shirt...?” She didn’t expect this much skin-to-skin contact between you two. The cute policewoman is turning tomato. Your smile only enhances the effect. She’s losing herself in your eyes until she snaps! “GAH! I gotta GO! Out of my way!!!”

Cocoa puts the other half of the costume back on and rolls away… Everyone is too flabbergasted to say anything about what you witnessed. Lydie hopes the costume is returned, but she’s not holding her breath. The question will linger unanswered: Why was the officer here?

You thought Giorsal and Cocoa would be the only adult women who somehow showed up here, but there’s always *bigger* surprises… the last two on the line are…

The Two Dewitts that shouldn’t be here! Holly and Sina!

“H-Hello there, everyone.” Holly politely waves at the entire crew.

“…” Sina shyly shields herself behind her adorable mother.

“MOM?! SINA?!” Aurora is utterly flabbergasted by what she’s seeing.

“My sweet Rora, what are you doing here?” Holly smiles at her daughter, and is plenty confused herself.

“ARF?!” Donna’s eyes widen. She’s panicking! An adult is here!

“Did you just say Mom like in mother...?” Verity is in shock.

“Huh. E-Even I can be taken off guard by the reach of our fan club! It’s quite frightening!” Lydie didn’t see this coming.

“Oooh! Is that your sister too? They remind me of my family, hehe!” Pansori feels like she has a lot more in common with Aurora! You feel like comparing Carol to Sina is a little mean to the latter.

“Did anyone do a background check on the people invited? God...” Celia has been paying attention to everything. She’s aware there’s something up with Giorsal, that Cocoa is a police officer, and now this…

“I’m sorry, we got a little lost, then we saw the line going outside the room — and thought we could get some directions inside.” Holly thought this was part of the administration building.

“Well, I’m glad you two found us!” You say!

“Oh my! Mr. Phi—, excuse me, Mr. Johnny! My daughter corrects me every time. What a surprise seeing you here.” Holly tenderly looks at you, then she slowly starts noticing… You don’t quite look like the same man she remembers from way back then… and for some reason you’re shirtless…

And Holly’s tender stare changes in meaning…
