HELLOOOOOOOOOO

• Applications are closed! Thank you all for your apps!


• As announced on Discord, due to fanmail going up on Sunday, we'll be posting placements on Wednesday. Look forward to it! Additionally, since we're putting placements up on Wednesday, emails will be going out on Tuesday night. (so like, tonight.)


• The new fanmail submissions post is up as well! We'll try to do these both at the same time, no promises, you know, executive dysfunction and 2020 malaise and all. Please be patient with us!


• Wildfire's graduation is on Tuesday, and by that, I mean it's today, since this post is going up on Tuesday (oops). Time is not real, folks.


• The setting poll is closed! As of Day 303, Tokyo-F now has a karaoke bar and a mailbox!
  

  Within walking distance of the hotel is the Karaoke bar, pasela resort, though at first glance it looks more like an upscale hotel than it does a karaoke bar, with its fancy reception desk and decor. At the reception room, you can order what you want: a Luxury Balinese room with fancy decorations and chandeliers, a standing room with plenty of room to dance on, a theater room with a television for everyone, and a number of kids rooms if you want to . . . if you want to go to one of those? If that's your sort of thing. The business also offers unit collaborations: after every game, the regular rooms are swapped out for rooms in the winning units' decor, along with take-home unit merchandise (coasters with idol faces, plastic stands, etc) and idol-themed food and drinks. These unit collab rooms are present for 1-2 IC days or when there's another game if the latter happens first.
  
  Regardless of what sort of room you pick, you can get access to the state-of-the-art surround sound equipment, microphones for everyone in your party, and over 1.9 million songs to choose from; plus, there's a QR code that you can scan with your phone to play a song if it's not in the database or if you want to set up a specific playlist. Additionally, with every room is a wall tablet where you can order food and drink (though the kids menu is only available in kids rooms and alcohol may not be ordered there). The food menu is widely varied, with anything from sushi to fried finger food to pizza to noodles, and the drink menu is just as diverse, offering teas, floats, milkshakes, boba drinks, and for 100 points per glass, a number of alcoholic beverages. Seasonal desserts are offered along with an all-you-can-eat sweets course, and there's also the resort's specialty: honey toast, a large, toasted sweet bread square dressed like a cake.
  
  Even if you aren't the singing type, there are a couple of other things you can do, too—use a room as a personal theater (50 points per movie) or choose any number of board games they have available to play! (*Pieces may not be taken out of the resort.) You can even order a birthday or celebration course at the reception room and you'll have your room decorated for the occasion, with specially decorated honey toast and a commemorative photo sent to all participants' phones after the party is over.
  
  Regardless of what happens in the room, whether a table breaks or whatnot, the room will be completely cleaned out and restored once all participants have left. Naturally, every room is soundproof, so you can sing or scream as loudly as you want! It's the perfect place for a kidnapping!

GOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
