The registration table is draped in dark red fabric. Behind the table stands an older woman. You walk up to the table. Trying to gauge whether or not the hovering other kids are in line or have already been served. The older woman beckons you over with a smile. "Hello I'm here to register." You say, appreciating her saving you from a stop and go dance. "Hello Miss, welcome. Last name?" "Kim," You answer. "Nayoung Kim." "Nayoung. Nayoung. Nayoung." She leafs through the folders in front of her and grabs a glossy ID card. "Nayoung? She pauses briefly to reexamine me, the card in her hand, the Pear laptop in front of her and then back to me. I might be wrong but you wouldn't happen to be related to the golden age idol Anna Nakyung? It's just there's been rumors among the staff and the resemblance. "Yes I am! She's my mother, I--" You stumble. "Yes Anna Nakyung was my mother." "Oh child, I'm so sorry. I heard what happened." She hands you your ID card. "The daughter of the golden age idol Anna Nakyung! We're so excited to have you here. I was a huge fan of hers back then." You take her condolences and thank her for the ID card. You'd love to chat more but the other contestants have already left and you think you're already running a bit late. [[Enter the auditorium]]

A lady on stage is already speaking. Your assigned seat is in the middle of a row -- great. You stand there for a few moments pondering whether or not just to stay in the wings. "Don't worry about the other contestants." An usher seems to read your mind, he guides you down the row. You scoot your way to your assigned seat. "Now to present your first challenge. It's with my greatest honor that I present last years center and runner up Maifumi Lee (click-replace: "Maifumi Lee.")[Maifumi Lee: a 5'3 100lbs woman with bubblegum pink hair. Last season she emerged victorious as rank 1 center. People criticize her for being cutthroat and impersonalable. Yet despite these anti-fans, her popularity remains immense soaring above Choi Seungmin's.] and Seungmin Choi! (click-replace: "Seungmin Choi.")[Seungmin Choi: a 6'0 195lbs man with brown hair. He avoided the most conflict in Season 10 place. His devlish good looks and sweet charms earned him second place. ] Cheers fill the auditorium as they walk on stage. The industries current biggest stars: Maifumi Lee. Seungmin Choi. They look even better in person. You should be paying attention to what they're saying but you are completely starstruck by: [[Maifumi->Follow the map]] [[Seungmin->Follow the map]] [[Both of them->Follow the map]] [[Neither, you're just hungry->Follow the map]]

You slap your cheeks. You have to focus! Maifumi outlines the parameters for Challenge #1 which is labelled Teamwork. Contestants will be each assigned a partner who will also be their roommates until the show ends. <style> img { max-width:100%; max-height:100%; } </style> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/Jntpcj0/Fuko.png"> </div> You meet your new partner/roommate in a dance studio located inside the ships Tudor-style library. Your partner is Fuko Yamamoto, the daughter of a famous ventriloquist. She hopes to reinvigorate the idol community with the true spirit of enthusiasm and creativity. Your phones both simultaneously beep. You are both sent a message with the details of challenge 1. Challenge 1: Teamwork Choose from Song A or Song B. Follow the choreography and be ready to present tomorrow at 8am. 8am? It's already 8pm. Even pulling an all nighter that only gives you guys 12 hours. It's certainly a short time frame to learn the lyrics and choreography You both decide it's in your best interest to start cracking on the challenge. After listening and watching the demo to both of the songs you get a good understanding of the two. Song A is a a cute retro song with sweet synths and an adorable choreography. Song B has a horror theme and fast paced choreography. It would be a good way to exhibit your dance skills if you're comfortable with that. After first listen Fuko tells you that she would feel more comfortable with doing the cute song but ultimately relegates the decision to you. Which song will you choose? [[Song A]] [[Song B]] (set: $rank to 99)

"Ah sweet! I love cute songs." Fuko smiles and does a little glitter-glitter pose with her hands. "Let's get working." For the first challenge Kim Nayoung is given six different options to spend her time with a 6 hour time limit. Each option takes a full hour. For each challenge you are to make sure your "Singingprogress" and "Dancingprogress" are above your "Singinggoal" and "Dancinggoal" respectively. Goals will change depending on the challenge. You increase your Singingprogress and Dancingprogress by practicing your singing lines and the choreography so make sure to do those! (display: "Untitled Passage 12") {(set: $hoursleft to 6) (set: $challenge to 1) (set: $singingprogress to 0) (set: $dancingprogress to 0) (set: $dancinggoal to 100) (set: $singinggoal to 100) (display: "Untitled Passage 12")}

"Ok I can do horror too!" Fuko roars. It's pretty cute. "Let's get working." For the first challenge Kim Nayoung is given six different options to spend her time with a 6 hour time limit. Each option takes a full hour. For each challenge you are to make sure your "Singingprogress" and "Dancingprogress" are above your "Singinggoal" and "Dancinggoal" respectively. Goals will change depending on the challenge. You increase your Singingprogress and Dancingprogress by practicing your singing lines and the choreography so make sure to do those! (display: "Untitled Passage 12")

You decide to help her out a bit more with the parts she's struggling on. She's very appreciative. Fuko's Affection +10, Fuko's rank improves by 10, You should have already reached the Dancinggoal for this challenge but if you haven't Dancingprogress increases by 10 for helping out Fuko. Lucky you! ){(set: $Fuko to it + 10) (set: $dancingprogress to it + 10)(set: $Fukorank to it +10)} (display: "Cafeteria")

With a high five you both decide to call it and go to sleep. You're feeling pretty good about the progress you both made. It's a little unpolished but what can they expect for such a short amount of time. Luxurious is the only way to describe the sleeping quarters. Queen beds for each contestant like you and Fuko just checked into a 300 dollar hotel. You wash your face and roll into a cool silky bed. [[Sleep]]

The next day you sit next to Fuko in the auditorium to watch the other contestants evaluations. Three judges sort contestants into classes ranked A to F based on their performance and freestyle capabilities. The critiques are harsh, resulting in many "D" and "F" scores. There is no mention of the 12 hour time limit. That's when Xiaofan Long and her partner Han Seohee enter the stage. Xiaofan Long tosses a lock of hair over her shoulder and exhibits an incredible aura of confidence. <style> img { max-width:100%; max-height:100%; } </style> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/L8zPNvL/Xiaofan.png"> </div> "Hello I'm Long Xiaofan here to present." "Hello I'm Han Seohee here to present!" "Long Xiaofan, the daughter of the CEO of the Long corporation. we're honored to have you here, let's see what you prepared for us." The music drops and Nayoung can instantly tell Long Xiaofan's a cut above the rest. Han Seohee keeps up but Xiaofan's lines are stronger, sharper at every turn. It makes all previous contestants look bad. Their set finishes an earns a loud applause. They both earn good praise from the first two judges. The last judge, Bae Soojin, is a notoriously tough judge. "Long Xiaofan," She speaks into the microphone. "Your technique is evidently the best so far but," she pauses. "Is there a reason you're not smiling?" "I dislike fake people. I don't smile if I don't want to." xiaofan responds, composed. You can't be sure but you think you see Han Seohee meekly curl a bit. "I like it. It's part of her authentic character." says Yoona, a guest judge. Long Xiaofan recieves the first A of the season. She takes the sticker places it above her breast and leaves. "Wow she's good!" Fuko exclaims. [[Yeah I know it's like she's a robot->I think I'm in love.]] [[I hope we can do as well as her->I think I'm in love.]] [[I think I'm in love.]]

You begin to head to the dance studio when you realize you're being watched. A dark figure in the shadows. You pursue the figure using [[Your athletic ability: to chase them down.]] [[Your creativity to use the landscape to your advantage and trap the them so they have nowhere to run.]]

"Kim Nayoung and Fuko Furukawa? Your set is soon. Please follow me backstage." You follow a steep staircase leading downward to backstage. There's no cameras. No one watching. What if you just pushed Fuko? You two are alone, it's dark. It certainly would highlight you more. [[Push her]] [[Don't]]

(+30 affection with ???, Fuko -10 rank) (set: $unknown to it +30) (set: $Fukorank to it -10) Nayoung pushes Fuko down the stairs. Fuko tumbles down the wooden stair case. Her cute space buns undo into a floppy mess and her make up smears. She suffers a bruised ankle and multiple cuts. You're almost guaranteed to look better than her! [[Let's do this]]

You swat that bad thought away. You and Fuko hug before going on stage. [[Let's do this]]

{(if: $dancingprogress < 100 or $singingprogress < 100)[ (go-to: "Challenge 1 Failure")]} Nayoung! Fuko! Hello we're a duo that hopes to entertain. The judges smile at your silly introduction. The music drops and you're on! Heck yeah! You feel it's going pretty smoothly. You lightly eye the live camera feed. When you notice that even during Fuko's parts the camera is on... you? You can't worry about that now. You imagine you're performing in front of your dad and finish the song. First impressions are important! Due to your performance your rank improves by 40. (set: $rank to it -40) The performance earns a light applause from the judges. Bae Soojin speaks first, "Kim Nayoung we're honored to have the daughter of Anna Nakyung here. I see a very similar star potential in you. Unpolished, definetely, but there's potential there. What do you attribute your success to?" You decide to attribute your success to: [[Your dad]] [[Your mom]] [[Your hard work]] [[Your partner Fuko]]

*A warm sensation rushes over you* "I want to thank my mom... She passed away when I was 12 but she was an idol before she married my dad. She inspires me to work hard. she had to stop her career when she had me." Your words are beginning to come out a warbling mess. "I hope to continue her dream when she couldn't." You're fighting back tears. You don't like to cry in front of other people. "Thank you for sharing that Kim Nayeon I'm sure your mother is very proud of you." (display: "Class distribution")

Hey hey it's okay! "Agh, Nayoung you're so kind." She heaves trying not to cry but heavy fat wet drops fall down her cheeks. You feel awful. you know how hard Fuko worked. You struggle to find the words to say. The entire introduction Fuko was invisible. Sure that might of helped you but it still makes you feel bad. "Screw those guys I can't believe they could mistreat someone like that." You wrap your arms around Fuko as she cries on your shoulder. 20 minutes later Fuko has composed herself and you guys are on your way back to your seats. "Thanks Nayoung you're a good friend." Fuko says. "I'm much better now. I will try my best and earn that screen time." You nod and give her a fist pump. [[At least it's all over and you can watch the other evaluations in peace.]]

You're awaken suddenly by the loudspeaker in your room. "Good morning contestants!" Blares in an overly enthusiastic voice. "Yesterday's votes have been counted. Please meet in the pyramid room for today's ranking announcement at 10am which is in 2 hours. [[Get ready and go to the pyramid room]]

They pyramid room is similar to the auditorium but instead of a stage there's a big pyramid-like structure. The top of which has a throne with the number 1 on it and a chair with the number 99 on the bottom right. That's when you find out yesterday's introduction challenge actually had a winner and a prize. "While teamwork is important." A voice over the loudspeaker rings. "Ultimately idol groups are a constant competition between members, everyone will be recieving a notification of the result." Your phone beeps. Challenge 1 teamwork winner: ''Kim Nayoung'' "Nayoung!" Fuko hugs and congratulates you. You've seen it on TV countless times but it hurts differently when you actually have to beat your "teammate." The voice on the loud speaker continues, "Alright now that's settled it's time to announce the contestant in last place. In 99ths place is "Bibian Bang" A spotlight shines on a girl across the room from you. She shields her face. The light is really bright. A bunch of people around her comfort her but she puts on a brave face and makes her way to seat 99. The rankings continue. In rank 78, "Fuko Yamamoto." She stands up adjusts her skirt and takes her place. In rank $rank,"Kim Nayoung" You take your seat. In 8th place, "Long Xiaofan" The ranking concludes. Remember only the top 5 will debut! [[Conclude ranking announcement.]]

Hwang Suho goes first, his high note is strong and stable. No wonder he's in "A" class. Next is Kim Eunchae: Wow his singing skills are on a league of it's own. He sings the high note effortlessly. It's full of emotion. His voice sounds as pure and rich as red velvet batter overlapping. Suho's mouth is completely agape. "Eunchae?! He shakes him. That was amazing!" He yells. "I no longer want to try out for main vocal." It's your turn next: your high note is good but lacks the same gravitas as Eunchae's. Votes are blind. On a piece of paper. [[Vote for Eunchae]] [[Vote for Yourself]]

Eunchae becomes the team's main vocal. Eunchae nods. "Thank you I will do my best to bring us to victory." Next is Subvocal 1. Suho and Fuko want to try out. Will you try out? [[Yes]] [[No]]

Suho reads the votes. 1 vote for Eunchae... 1 vote Nayoung... 1 vote Eunchae 1 vote Nayoung "Nayoung gets the main vocal position because she's higher rank than Eunchae." says Suho. Eunchae is voted subvocal 1 Suho is voted subvocal 2 Fuko is given subvocal 3 Main vocal is a large role so you'll need to practice more the amount of vocal practice needed is 200. But a big role like this is sure to get you noticed. Rank improves by 25 (set: $singinggoal to 200) (set: $rank to it - 25) (display: "Roles decided")

{(if: $singing<70[ (go-to: "No")]} You're voted to be subvocal 1. Rank improves by 10, Subvocal 1 is a more sizeable role so the amount of vocal practice needed is 150. (set: $singinggoal to 150) (set: $rank to it - 10) (display: "Roles decided")

Suho is voted to be subvocal 1 You are voted to be subvocal 2 By default Fuko gets subvocal 3 Rank +0, On the plus side subvocal 2 doesn't have a lot of parts so the amount of vocal practice you need is only 120. (set: $singinggoal to 120) (display: "Roles decided")

A gust of wind blew cold night air from the ocean, carrying with it the sharp scent of salt. You stand before the entrance of Cloud 9. Far away from the other buildings, it rules majestically. You made up your mind you need to check on her. You push through the double doors. "Xiaofan?" As you step into a large palatial hallway, your nostrils fill with an overpowering scent of blood and something rotten. The back of your neck prickles as if someone were watching you. But there's no one here. Your shoe meets a lush red carpet that extends to the end of the hallway where a modern office desk sits instead of a throne. You tip toe past the large extending stone columns. You could have sworn you heard something echo but everytime you are unsure whether or not your squeamish mind is playing tricks with you. An overpowering scent of blood and something rotten fills your nostrils. You hear a clamor. The hairs on the back of you neck prickle but you push through. You need to check if Xiaofan is ok. You walk into a large office the room is completely dark save for the moonlight pouring through a large glass wall behind the desk. You sense a presence hiding. You've already scared your pants off. You decide to check behind the desk. You find a curled up body soaked in blood. "Fuko?" She doesn't respond. "Fuko what are you doing here and why are you covered in blood?" "Ah Nayoung I didn't want to have to tell this to you like this." She swallows "I'm not everything I appear to be. Long Xiaofan... she couldn't accept that. "Fuko... I'm just so confused I just saw you in my room and now you're here? Who are you?" She takes a deep breath. "Nayoung this is going to sound crazy but I'm an Alien." Suddenly her skin melds flaps of skin folding into eachother until she becomes a carbon copy of you Kim Nayoung. Originally a naive girl she's been traumatized too many times. She tries to speak with good judgement. Targonites are entertainer at heart. She escaped Targon-4. My parents died. My best friend chose her mom over me. Even though she helped them out so much. We arrived to this foreign planet as refugees. Our leader tried to make contact with local government to warn them of the threat of the Balra. She disappeared we're not sure what happened to her. Our council is of high moral judgement, but often fails to understand reality's ramifications. I've tried to advocate for a more mecessary violent reproach to obtaining control. But the council denied me those powers. We cannot procreate with humans. We are 99 Targonites trying every strategy we can to bring back our loved ones but we're met with opposition at every contact. Humans and Targonites. We need to unite. Earthkind needs to undergo a massive technological revolution in order to face the Balra. We re trying to be good people. The idol shows remind us of the competitions with used to have at Targon-4 We use competitions like these to elect leaders. I was the first winner 10 years ago and won reelection just last year. You have to understand me. We see so much potential in you Kim Nayoung. I hope you can work with us. It's for the good of both parties, the Balra will wipe us all on our current trajectory. Please say you understand [[I understand and will help you. (lie)]] [[I understand and will help you. (truth)->I understand and will help you. (lie)]]

Your startled by the scene. The room you enter is a small dark prison cell. Xiaofan is bound to a cheap plastic office chair, blood pours from her temple. "Nayoung!" she screams through her cloth gag. Her eyes go wide. She squirms in her restraints. You rush over and begin to untie her bonds. Your heart races. The dark thoughts you chalked up to naive fear are real. Something sinister is happening. "Fuko she's in trouble. I must go help her." You follow Xiaofan up the staircase, finally reaching an elaborate glass room. I take a sharp breath. Xiaofan steadies herself prepared to fight. There's blood everywhere. Moonlight pours through the multiple skylights in the room. Below, an unconcious Fuko lays. It's Maifumi. "I didn't want it to be like this." Her husky voice fills the room. "I wish I had time to explain." "Monsters like you don't get time to explain." Xiaofan lunges at Maifumi and is repelled hitting the wall behind you. She's already at your throats. Thrown Xiaofan to the wall and now is after you. "Let me tell you a story about my home planet Nayoung. The Targonites are known throughout the Galaxy as entertainers or showpeople. We had a heavy emphasis on singing, dancing, and the joys of music. But all of that had to be put aside when the Balra invaded. You see a culture dependent on pleasing others doesn't do well with war. It forced us to adapt, we needed to being to make smart decisions and smart sacrifices. You know you actually remind me a lot like my younger self. Talented, kind, and horribly naive. I had a friend like Fuko. She grimaces. She dropped me the first chance she got to save her mom. I was obviously the better pick! Why would she choose that old hag!" She screams. Her curled pick locks are now flat with sweat. Sweat beads fill her forehead.

The final challenge never happened, Bad Asian Boys and $groupname both debut despite the hard work and inevitable conflicts you, Furukawa, Xiaofan, Suho, and Eunchae all enjoy an extremely successful 7 years. You develop even closer bonds with your group mates who also become some of your closest friends. {(if:($Fuko > 90))[Especially Fuko, you both love eachother to death. She gushes over you at every interview that its thanks to an incredible leader like you that she got to live out her dream but you know how much work she put in for this.]}{(if:($Eunchae > 90))[Eunchae becomes a strong ally. After $groupname disbands, you both decide to start your own label company and create idol groups that celebrate diffences.

After your group disbands you and her make a press conference coming out as lovers. You become that lesbian power couple and a gay icon.

As far as the Alien situation, {(if:($forgive is 1))[Seungmin becomes the new leader and promises to lead the Targonites towards a new leaf. One that's not fueled by rage to beat the Balra. He's revamping the modern Targonite ideals that resulted in Maifumi/Zaida. They will fight the Balra alongside human kind. That will only make them stronger. You believe when the Balra come the humans and Targonites will be ready.]} {(if:($forgive is 0))[Seungmin and the rest of the Targonites disappear completely. You and Xiaofan know what happened but decide no one will believe you. You work with her to ensure that humankind is prepared so when the Balra come Earthkind will be ready.]}

The next day you awake bright and early. There's a mini challenge today. While you were sleeping a letter arrived for you. You read: ''Stop Helping Fuko. She's only bringing you down. She is NOT who she says she is.'' The letter is written in newspaper clippings and unaddressed. [[Close letter->Untitled Passage 6]]

You decide to go early to the mini challenge location to get a little seperation from Fuko to clear your headspace a bit. You walk down a lush green courtyard. Sure Fuko's an overly cheerful and optimistic girl but she's always come across as geniune? But now with this note you're unsure you want to be associating with her. You stop to admire the sunrise. You wish your mom could give you some advice right now. You make your way to the meeting point for today. Maifumi and Seungmin enter and everyone settles down and begin their ritual whoops and cheers of admiration. "Good morning contestants!" Maifumi says with a warm smile. "Today you're going to be doing something a little different than performing. As you know Idol 99 is different than most idol competition shows today. We value good healthy idols who are flexible and adaptable to whatever's thrown at them that's why I'm so excited to let Seungmin present this weeks mini-challenge! Because he's more than a pretty face!" They both laugh a bit. You wonder if there's any residual tension between the two. "Good morning contestants today you'll be going through Idol 99's first Warrior Ninja relay race! Top contestants will be getting screen time and there's also a prize for our fastest team. This time we're also letting you guys choose your own partners." Everyone begins scrambling and you lightly curse yourself for sitting between two giant guys. You are tossed around a bit. Suddenly your velocity changes when another girl who's being thrown around collides with you. "Damn these savages! It's just a partner." It's Fuko. She dusts her skirt. "I'm sorry for bumping into you Nayoung. I was just sitting by Long Xiaofan and I got pinballed by a bunch of guys. What luck I have though! I was looking for you. Want to be partners?" You hesitate a bit. That note has been bothering and plus Fuko doesn't seem to be the most athletic person. Your thoughts are cut short. Looks like you're being asked by another person. a pretty girl. #11 Han Seohee, you recognize her as Xiaofan's first partner in Challenge 1. [[Partner up with Fuko]] [[Partner up with Han Seohee]]

Sorry Seohee Han. Fuko asked me first. Seohee's bubbly demeanor shifts to something much more nasty. "So you're going to choose #$Fukorank over #11? I misjudged you Nayoung Kim. Enjoy getting eliminated losers. She walk off. You let out a sigh. "Dodged a bullet with that one. Thanks Fuko for saving me there." You turn to Fuko and smile. "Fuko?" Han Seohee really hurt her, she's about to cry. "Han Seohee's a jerk don't overthink it ok?" Fuko looks up at you "But it's true isn't it?" Kim Nayoung you've been so nice to me I don't want to hold you back. You should find someone way better than me." "No one's better than you Fuko!" You grab her hand "Come on, let's go." You drag her over to the starting line. Partner race will start in 5 minutes! PLease find a partner those without a partner will be disqualified. You sit down before the race starts and give Fuko a pep talk. "Ok game plan. It's ok if we don't win. Let's just enjoy ourselves. It's been a while since I've done a relay race. Fuko turns turn you determined, hands in fists. "OK. I'll try my best for Nayoung." The first challenge in the relay is a typical three leg race. The difference in height between you two is pretty significant. Fuko tries to keep in pace with your stride as best she can she stumbles a bit but eventually reserts to a kind of hopping. Which is honestly super cute. Next leg is focused on endurance. A tandem bike ride around the ships exterior. Riding along the corridors you admire the ocean's deep blue. You've been so busy with all these challenges you haven't gotten the chance to really admire how beautiful it is out here in the South Pacific. IT takes you both a bit of time to circle the entire ships exterior but you've enjoyed it. You hope Fuko did too. Fuko's completely red and out of breath. The last challenge is of speed and strength a large rock climbing wall to be scaled all while being attached to the other person. After 2 minutes the holds will dissapear and you'll fall into a giant mat filled with whipped cream. Decing not to question the safety of this challenge you and Fuko begin scaling the wall. You're about halfway through making and making a great pace. You both could really do this! ... Man your harms hurt. Fuko's really doing a good job keeping she's creative and flexible so she's been approaching the route differently. ... You're about 90% done you wait for Fuko to catch up a bit you take the time to glance at the clock. Still 30 seconds to go. But as you reach instictively for your next hold it's not there. In fact it's a much wider gap than all those previous. No way they put the hardest part at the end? When we're tired? Your legs tighten to jump. *clap* you made it. You look down at Fuko her eyes are huge "Nayoung" She shakes her head. "I don't thtink I can make it." Her arms are shaking usinig all of her will power to hold on. "Just give it your best! It's ok if you don't make it Fuko!" "I don't think I can make it." She says again her arms are really shaking, she's trying as hard as she can for you. "It's okay just jump and grab!" She just looked down to look at the clock and you can see her throat visibly gulp. But then she stops shaking. She closes her eyes and calms down before pouncing on the next hold. *Clap* Her finger slam against the hold. You're falling The whipe cream suprisingly feels really good. Your body aches. You're definitely going to be sore for the next couple of days. You sitt up to see a whip cream covered Fuko. You laugh. She laughs. You hug her letting the whip cream squish in between your bodies. You take a shower to get all that whipped cream off you. It got *everywhere.* After your shower you gather in the courtyard to await the winning verdict. True to her Fashion, Fuko made a pitstop on the way to the cafeteria. So you guys have a little impromptu picnic making the other contestants a little jealous. It feels good. You and Fuko probably didn't get any screentime from the challenge but honestly you don't care. You had a great day with Fuko. (display: "Phone beeps.")

"Contestants we've determined our winner for our first mini challenge: Xiaofan Long and Suho Lee! They take their medals. Congratulations, you've won a partner dinner date on our exclusive cloud 9 tower. Xiaofan's already walked off stage. She tosses a braid of her hair over her shoulder. "No thanks."

She has an impressive aura to her. Your fingers clam up a bit in response. "Hello!" You bow your head politely. "I'm Kim Nayoung please treat me well." She opens her eyes slightly you can't tell if she's annoyed or it's just her facial features that look menacing. "Long xiaofan." She pulls a hand through her hair. "Nice to meet you." She says professionally. She doesn't seem like the "best buds" type. You both sit in silence. It's awkward but you're probably the only one who's feeling it. Thankfully you're saved by someone crashing through the door. "Hello Team!" It's Suho, someone's in a good mood. He see Xiaofan and you and his eyes light up. "Wow our team is going to be so good!"

Time's up! Hope you practiced enough. $groupname is a well rounded group. You're very proud of you and your teammates and all you've accomplished. With the help of a music producer you've really brought your $concept concept to life. You just hope the audience feels the same way. A curtain drops and your entire team walks on stage. The audience cheers in amazement. Fuko has the first line, Suho's center for the chorus, you Xiaofan share a dance break, and Eunchae follows up with an ear ringing high note. You're center for the final chorus. Energy is high. You did great. The crowd cheers.

Your entire team wraps together in a giant group hug. You're on the top of the world. [[Congrats Nayoung!]]

I'm really happy to hear you understand me Nayoung you know you've always been my favorite. I'm impressed by your level of maturity But forgive me, I know humans are creatures that lie. I need you to prove your loyalty. Swiftly like a dancer she's standing behind you. She wraps her arms around you maternally and places a button in your hand. I need you to kill Xiaofan Long. A part of the wall swings open to reveal a secret passageway. Xiaofan is tied to a chair her mouth taped shut. Cut multiple times and bloody. In her eyes she pleads with you not to kill her. [[Kill Xiaofan]] [[You can't]]

You can't do it. The button drops to your side. "It's too bad, Nayoung." She pull out a tazer from her pocket. "I had so much hope for you. Because of our current situation, I cannot simply let you go. The amount of risk you pose on the 99 is far too great for us to overlook. It's over... Maifumi's walking closer and closer towards you. [[You're cornered]]

Suddenly the double door slam open and Choi Seungmin enters the room." ' 'Zaida' ', the council has declared your recent actions a breach of protocol. Your leadership has temporarily been suspended and you are to be tried in full presence of the law by the council. "Seungminnie, I was wondering when you were going to show up." "You've gone too far this time Maiyumi." "Oh, I did? I simply made a calculated gamble, either we get our first human ally or we learn that humans will NEVER fully accept what's different than them." "And you sacrifice life just to prove it? This is wrong Zaida and deep down there's a part of you that knows it too." "No" Her voice drips venomously. "That part of me died a long time ago." SHe pulls out a knife from her other pocked and runs towards you. [[Use the secret weapon!->Failed]]

Secret Weapon? You're not sure what that is. Xiaofan jumps out of her chair and dive kicks Maiyumi or ZZ'rot you're not really too sure what to call her. "Run Nayoung!" Maiyumi stabs Xiaofan as you rush into the secret corrider. You find yourself in a control room. There's another body in here. You've got nowhere to run. Turning the body over you take a sharp inhale. "Dad? You shake the body violently. Dad wake up?" He's knocked unconcious. You wrap an arm around him and try to carry him out when Maifumi meets you. "You humans are so predictable." She stabs you and you fall beside your dad. Maybe if the circumstances were different you may have lived. ' 'I'm sorry Nayoung' ' Ending #2: Massacre. [[Return to semi-final win vending machine->Shop]]

Zaida? That's when you remember the voice. Ah! I have something to give you! You take out of your pocket the box of kimchi. Suddenly Maifumi's face twists. "No!" You open the jar of kimchi and suddenly the body of the persona of Maifumi rips open and a purple insect like creature emerges. You waste no time in scooping a handful of kimchi and throwing it at her. Noooo!! She shrieks the pieces of spicy cabbage burn her thick exoskeleton. She's exposed, her purple armor has burned off. She lightly resembles a nude pink caterpillar. It's time to use your idol skills you've been working on to fight! [[Use your creativity]]

{(set: $forgive to 1)} As the Targonites emergency leader I thank you. You've shown extreme generosity towards us we will not forget this. He takes Maifumi and leaves. 8 hours later you're just about packed up all your things. The final challenge never happened due to emergency but MBK offers both Dream Team and Asian Bad boys exclusive contracts under their label. Even though you've enjoyed your time here (save getting nearly stabbed by an alien) you're excited to get your feet back on land. After Seungmin left you. You found your unconcious dad who woke up a couple hours later. You meet Fuko, Xiaofan, Suho, Eunchae, and your Dad at the ship's exit. Your dad wraps his arms around your shoulder "Ready to go home?" He asks. "Yes I miss my own bed and your ramen." Your stomach growls. You realize you never asked: "Hey dad I'm glad to see you but why are you here?" "It is kind of odd isn't it?" Your dad scratches the back off his head. " To be perfectly honest I have no real good explanation. After I dropped you off I heard this voice, 'Michael, Nayoung's in trouble.' I tried to help you out as much as I could but looks like I got caught in the end." Your eyes go wide. You understand now. "Ah I forgot something you guys go on without me." You rush to the vending machine. "Mom?" "It's me Nayoung." Tears begin to form. "Thank you for saving me. There's so much I want to say and tell you. I love you. I wish I spent more time with you. I wish I showed my appreciation for you more. I've missed you for so long but you've always been here." Water collects to form fat tears that splash on the concrete. "I want to let you know that me and dad love you. We miss you but we get by because of you. I know you've stuck around for us but you can move on now. we won't do dumb things anymore. You finish wiping your tears. I'm sorry for all the mean things I said to you. I never meant it. I am so proud to be your daughter. I know we'll reconnect one day so thank you, thank you, thank you, for all you've done. You're hugging the vending machine not caring how you look. "Bye mom" You rub the cool metal finish over the picture of fresh steam buns, before turning around and joining your friends. [[Bye Nayoung. I love you.]] The End

Xiaofan begins writhing in her seat panicing as you push the button. Blood pulls out of her mouth as her body goes limp. "Well done Kim Nayoung. I've always known you had it in you." MBK had to pay through their noses so that Xiaofan's disappearance blows over. There's a lot of money spent investigating but nothing is uncovered. The final challenge still miraculously does happen. You manage to get first rank. 4th going to Suho and the other 3 spots going to asian bad boys. As a Targonite ally, Maifum believes you're best served as an idol and poster for young kids everywhere. You enjoy your time with the grou but always report back to Maifumi. Idol 99 Alum Choi Yuna wins the election. Maifumi tells you that soon they will reveal the truth about the Balra to the world. So that earth can best prepare. Although you're uncertain or not Earth will be able to catch up in time, you feel proud of giving Earth it's best fighting chance. Ending #1 Your bond with Suho increases during the time of debut. You get an apartment near your dad. He sometimes sense your unease and tries his best to be supportive. It's hard keeping such a giant secret.

Your group all meets together bright and early for breakfast before going to your next mini-challenge. You walk into the cafeteria and hallellujah they've got a 4-course breakfast dinner meal for the top 20. Fuko's eyes look like they're about to bust out of her skull as she beelines to her seat. You all take your seats at a fancy ballroom table. The whole cafeteria has been converted from tech company food court to michelin star restaurant. You feel your bond with your group has increased.

Time's up! You can only practice a bit more until you both crash. You're both making good progress but you can't help but notice Fuko's struggling to pick up the choreography despite trying her very best. You would work quicker if you don't help Fuko. You should: [[Help her]] [[Not help her]]

You awaken in the middle of the night. Your intense Poki Sweat consumption has caught up to you. You scold yourself a little bit. That's when you realize Fuko's not in her bed. It's 3 hours before deadline. [[Go back to sleep]] [[Check the dance studio]]

You make your way back to the library when you see lights from the window. You take a peek a the tiny opening between the curtains. Fuko's practicing the choreography. You're content that you found her but it wouldn't really help practicing more especially if it means sacrificing your sleep. As you walk back to your room you're reminded of the figure. Who were they? Before you know it you're back under your cool silk comforter. [[Go back to sleep]]

A long 8 hours later... You and Fuko are trudging back to your room. "Oh my god that was exhausting how can we sit there for so long." You say. "I know my butt was so sore," Fuko responds. "It felt like it would shrivel up like a raisin." You finally reach your bed content that you at least made it through today and conk out. [[Sleep->End of Chapter 1]]

You follow another windy path. This time you end up in an art studio. Two guys are already here and in the process of getting to know one another.

Yet again you're interrupted the sounds of your phones beeping in unison. Challenge #2 Talent For this challenge you will sing a vocal ballad Positions: Center/Main vocal Subvocal 1 Subvocal 2 Subvocal 3 Looking at the part distribution main vocal gets a high note at the climax and is a noticeably better part. Being main vocal gives you about 50% of the spotlight. Subvocal 1, 25%. Subvocal 2, 15%, and Subvocal 3, about 10%. Subvocal 3 isn't a very good part if you want to be seen on TV and by the judges only getting one line that's about 8 seconds long. The brown haired guy speaks up. "So looks like this song is very vocal heavy so we need strong singers front. I think to determine parts we should compete by singing each parts lines.

Fuko's stomach rumbles. "Ahhh!" You supress a laugh. Your performance... will definetely be a little rough tomorrow but you made some good progress. You both decide to check out the cafeteria. Might as well captalize on the free food in case you get eliminated. The cafeteria is in a buffet style, there's islands upon islands of food. Steak, Sushi, Injera, a baked potato station, and indian curry. Delicacies from all over. Fuko pupils dilate in pure bliss. Fuko grabs as much food as she can carry. You decide to: [[Drink some honey tea as it's good for the vocal chords.]] [[Take a grilled chicken and veggie bowl so you'll have enough energy to really bust out her dancing chops.]] [[Have some fresh eel which is good for the skin.]] [[Try some puffer fish.

You're about 90% done you wait for Seohee to catch up a bit you take the time to glance at the clock. Still 30 seconds to go. But as you reach instictively for your next hold it's not there. In fact it's a much wider gap than all those previous. No way they put the hardest part at the end? When we're tired? Your legs tighten to jump. *clap* you made it. You look down at Seohee her almond eyes are huge and determined. *clap* Her finger slam against the hold. You made it! You take a shower to get all that whipped cream off you. It got *everywhere.* After your shower you gather in the courtyard to await the winning verdict. You and Seohee got a bunch of screentime from the challenge. Nice! You both win the mini challenge!

{(if: $variety < 90)[ (go-to: "Creativity failure")]} Right in the middle of battle you realize with the empty box of kimchi you run around scratching your arm pit and making "ook ook aah aah" sounds as you pretend to be a monkey. Zaida is confused. Nice! [[Use your charm]]

{(if: $charm < 90)[ (go-to: "Charm failure")]} Eye smile! Blow Kiss! Widen eyes! You give Zaida your best winning looks. Plus you're a smooth talker and you know it. Zaida is charmed by your allure. Well done! [[Use your vocals to break the glass]]

{(if: $vocals < 90)[ (go-to: "Vocal failure")]} The giant window! If you could break the glass you could gain some leverage in this fight. Your extensive vocal training has come in handy. You know the exact pitch to break the glass. You open your mouth to let out a perfect high note and large paned window begins to shatter. It breaks into a mess above Zaida. Zaida suffers massive cuts from the glass shards. Heck yeah vocals! [[Use your athletic ability to fight]]

{(if: $dance < 90)[ (go-to: "Dance failure")] } It's all or nothing now. Time to use your sharply honed dance skills to lash out some serious punches. Swiftly you dance in and out of the fight. Landing punch, kick, and another punch on Zaida. Thanks goodness you studied some martial art dance. Zaida suffers a substantial health loss. Nice job Nayoung! [[Was your talent enough?]]

The End. Ending #2: True ending. [[Epilogue]]

You scan the room looking for things to help you but you can't think of anything. That's okay you have other talents! [[Use your charm]]

You try and smooth talk your way so Zaida sees she's wrong. You give her your best charming points but she brushes them off. How rude! No worries you have your vocals! Maybe? [[Use your vocals to break the glass]]

The giant window! If you could break the glass you could gain some leverage in this fight. You open your mouth to let out the best high note of your life but it's not enough to break the glass. Zaida continues attacking Xiaofan and Seungmin but it's ok your high note might have helped motivate them! Maybe? [[Use your athletic ability to fight]]

It's all or nothing now. Time to use your dance skills to lash out some serious punches. You dance in and out of the fight. Trying to weave in some punches and kicks but you're a bit left footed when it comes to kick boxing. Zaida suffers a minor health loss. Not bad Nayoung! [[Was your talent enough?]]

Due to your astounding idol fighting skills Zaida is subdued. Seungmin takes the opportunity to handcuff her. He turns to you and Xiaofan. "I understand if you both are confused and upset right now. Us Targonites... we've done some bad things and that's not right but please understand we're doing the best we can in order to survive. The Balra destroyed not only our home planet but also our good judgement. I've known Maifumi since I was young. She may be a villain but she's experienced a lot.
