WHY ARE PEOPLE SCREAMING IN MY ASK BOX ABOUT YOU WHATA RE YOU DOING LMAO

Why Business marketing proposals of course! We'll be soon making identical replicas of our tsums, after all they have such an adorable charm.

What I found this morning at a garage sales:

I'm so happy because I didn't have the 2 Enchantix dolls but poor Tecna is missing an arm! I also can't believe I found a Hong Kong exclusif Tsum Tsum!

The Strawberry shortcakes were kind of expensive. The seller have a lot of them but I could only afford 2, my little collection of them is growing nicely!

A yandere Azul that doesn't really like when You! Starts a small business that is based on home cooking and being nice and sweet. One shot

Or hear me out..just yandere Tsums! Like they fight against themselves to be your cuddly friend! Headcanons

Both are very good ideas, oh my gosh XD

Tsums fighting to the death would be absolutely hilarious probably not for poor Yuu tho- , but I'm gonna go with the yandere Azul for this one, heheh

Azul isn't dating the reader quite yet in this oneshot, but they are "friends" (Even if Azul would insist otherwise-)

I think I just made him a lovesick fool rather than a yandere, in hindsight, LMAO, my bad~

"Cafe Cozy is open for business!

Located at Ramshackle dorm, the magicless prefect has managed to find their place on campus, cooking meals from their own homeworld that many consider to be 'comfort foods'. While the prices are low, rest guaranteed that the memories and good vibes you will get from going here are anything but! Don't believe me? Head over there for yourself, open from-"

Azul's fingers tightened around the edges of the school newspaper, causing a small rip to appear in the middle of it. The sound of ripping annoyed him even further, which only made the octomer shred the rest of the paper in half. He stared at the newpaper for a moment before he gave in to his urges, rip-rip-ripping the paper until nothing more than strips of unreadable words remained.

Running a hand through his hair and taking a slow breath to calm himself, Azul glared at the pile of shredded paper, pondering on what he should do next.

The Mostro Lounge's sales had been a bit low this week. And now he knew why. The Prefect had opened up their own business- if such a lowly little establishment ran in a run-down building could be called as such- and was selling food at low prices to the students. Although his business-savy brain knew that this little endeavor wouldn't last very long if Y/N kept their prices so low, the part of his brain that knew the prefect knew that they could be quite...persuasive towards the other students. Charming, even. Azul didn't doubt that what Y/N had lost in buying products and selling meals for cheap, they had made up for it in tips.

Because no one could resist their charm. Not even Azul, though he was loathe to admit it.

Azul took off his glasses for a moment, closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose. What to do, what to do? If this kept up, Mostro Lounge's sales would drop exponentially, and so to would Azul's level of power and "respect" in the school.

So what to do?

After putting his glasses back on, his eyes landed on one of the bits of paper, one that used to be a photo of the Prefect and the Student reporter for the newspaper, standing in front of this so-called "Cafe Cozy". The Prefect's perfect smile seemed to follow him everywhere...

Azul grabbed the paper and tucked it into the pocket of his jacket, standing up quickly.

"And where do you think you're going, dear Azul?" Jade hummed as Azul walked out of the office, stepping briskly through the hall of the Lounge.

"Cafe," was all Azul could grunt, the heels of his shoes making dull thudding sounds on the carpet as he went for the exit of the building, to the mirror that led to campus. Jade just smiled after Azul with a curious look in his eyes, a knowing but concerned expression.

Floyd hopped over, seeing his brother pause in his cleaning duties "Slackin' off, Jade?"

"Nothing of the sort, Floyd," Jade replied cooly, resuming his tasks once more "Just watching Azul walk out...did you see the newspaper today, by chance?"

"You think I read that trash? It's bo-ooooring!"

"Hmm. The Prefect of Ramshackle opened up a Cafe. I assume that Azul read the story, and that he's not...quite enthralled about it." Jade tilted his head, glancing back towards the door that Azul had walked out of "That Prefect makes him act rather odd, don't you think?"

"It's 'cause he's in looooove," Floyd hummed in a sing-song voice, grabbing a broom propped up on the wall, dancing with it in a mocking attempt at romance "I like it- if I mention them around Azul, he'll completely forget he was chewin' me out and he'll leave me alone!"

"Of course you would Floyd," Jade chuckled.

----

In the time it took to walk to Ramshackle, Azul prissed up his appearance, making sure his hair wasn't sticking out from under his hat at odd angles, straightening his hat itself, brushing off any lint from his clothes, and straightening out his glasses. If anyone else were to see him, they would assume that Azul was on his way to an important event. Which he was, if only to him.

Stepping through the doors of the rusted gate (which was now almost constantly ajar to allow students to pass through, Azul knew, since the gate was difficult for the Prefect to open by themselves), Azul made his way up the cracked walkway, up to the front door of Ramshackle House.

Unsurprisingly, on the door hung a wooden sign that read "Cafe Cozy! Step inside and enjoy yourself!" Azul took a spare moment to examine the sign itself. The words appeared to be burned into the wood by an expert at their craft, curlicued to the point of looking fancy, yet simple. Two opposites meeting in the middle.

He cursed himself for not having thought of that idea himself, and put a gloved hand on the door, pushing it open once he turned the doorknob.

The inside of Ramshackle looked...pretty normal. Except for the slight increase in furniture. There were extra chairs and tables, another couch....all were mismatched, which only added to the dorm's charm. A few students from Savanaclaw sat on one of the couches, sipping from mugs and laughing as they shared a plate of something that looked like an omlette, with more bits and pieces in it.

Azul frowned at the scene and made his way to the kitchen of the dorm, intent on finding the Prefect themselves. "Hey, you can't be back here!" A voice chirped as soon as the octomer stepped into the messy kitchen. Azul looked down to see Grim with a little apron on, looking mildly annoyed "Get out of here, Octopus! No customers allowed in the kitchen! Go sit down and I'll take your order!"

"I'm looking for Y/N." Azul said, not offering an explanation as to why. He narrowed his eyes as he stared down at the direbeast, folding his arms across his chest.

"They're not-" Grim started, only to be interrupted by Y/N themselves coming up to Azul's side.

"Oh, Azul! What are you doing here? You want to try some waffles?" The Prefect offered, with that perfect smile they always seemed to have.

Azul hated the effect they had on him. He hated the way he would freeze up at the start of every conversation, how he would be tied up in what they said and how they said it. He hated how much he enjoyed listening to their voice, how much his mind focused on the way the Prefect's clothes always seemed to fit them just right, despite being hand-me-down's from other students or thrift store finds. Sevens, he hated them. But only in a way a love-struck fool could hate the target of their affections.

"Prefect!" Azul said once he pushed all of the thoughts out of his mind and focused on the reason he was here. He held his hands up in a friendly gesture, ignoring Grim's complaints as the cat stormed off back into the living room "As much as I'd love to enjoy some of your food, I'm afraid I'm here for different reasons!"

"Oh!" Y/N said, glancing side to side before jerking their head to the island in the middle of the kitchen, sitting down on one of the stools with their plate of waffles "Alright, then. Why don't you come sit down? What did you need to talk about?"

Azul grimaced slightly as he grabbed a paper towel and wiped off some crumbs from the stool before he sat down, forcing his mind to think of anything but the way the Prefect's lips parted ever-so-slightly as they waited for him to speak.

"I'm going to be honest with you, Prefect," He began, taking a small breath "I'm not quite sure how long you want to keep this business of yours afloat, but I doubt it'll be for too much longer. How much do you spend on ingredients versus how much you receive from your customers?"

"Oh, we actually make a lot on tips-" Y/N started, making Azul wince inwardly. Of course he was right about the tips.

"But how much longer can you rely on the kindness of others, dear Y/N, hmm?" He questioned "How much longer until the new-ness of this...cozy....little place wears off and they simply see it as another cafeteria. Do you think the students here tip the cafeteria workers that serve their slop day in and day out?"

The Prefect licked their lips (fortunately, they didn't notice Azul looking the other way and hiding the blush on his cheeks with a hand) and took a bite of their food, taking their time before they responded "Mm, I guess you're right. But we're based on being nice to our customers and giving them a good time. When all is said and done and the tips stop being so great, we can always offer meals in exchange for work to be done on Ramshackle. After all, it costs less to make this food than it does for repairs- and some of the students here can fix things more easy and problem-free than me and Grim could." But there was still a shadow of a doubt on their face- exactly what Azul had been counting on "What do you care, anyway?"

"Because we're friends, of course!" He said with a grand smile, his chest hurting at the mention of being just friends. Maybe one day he'd be able to call them whatever he wanted...but not today "And I came to offer you a solution."

"Oh-ho," They chuckled "I hope you didn't bring your pen and a contract with you. I've already learned my lesson on that front."

Slipping his pen back into his jacket's pocket before they could notice, Azul bit down his witty retort "Oh, me...? I would...never. I just want to ask if you'd like to officially put your cafe as an extension of my Lounge- and I know what you're thinking," Azul pitched his voice to mimic Y/N "Oh, if I allow Azul to have this cafe as part of Mostro Lounge, then it won't be mine anymore!"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking," Y/N rolled their eyes with a small smile.

"Well, then, good news- you'd still retain ownership of this place. I would provide you with more furniture and ingredients- as well as an extra chef, if you need it...surely it gets difficult for you to cook all these meals yourself, right? I would only ask in return for 45 percent of your profits." Azul tilted his head side to side "Plus, you would even benefit from my deal with Crowley- altogether, you'd be paying 50 percent of your profits to us, to cover our buying you supplies as well as the Headmage's approval. I doubt he's too happy about you running a business without him receiving anything, hmm? Plus, with my assistance, you'd be getting even more money with your profits!"

Y/N thought about it "So....I'd be letting you take control of it?"

"No, no, of course not! I would still let you retain the creative aspect of this place and all! You would just think of me as...your business partner." Azul grinned, holding out a hand "Is it a deal, then, partner?"

But the Prefect, having been through Azul's shtick before, raised a brow "Let me think about it, alright...partner?" putting emphasis on the last word, almost popping the p sound.

Azul, biting the inside of his cheek so harshly that he began to taste his own blood, giggled in response like a giddy schoolgirl. While his response was undignified, and he thoroughly chastised himself, he couldn't deny the giddy feeling that rushed through his veins at hearing the Prefect call him their partner, even if the word was taken out of context.

"M'kay," he managed through gritted teeth, still grinning like a fool.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Interview Highlight

This is coming a little late - on September 1st, just before the release of the AAI collection, there was an interview on Netlab with Tatsuro Iwamoto (character designer), Kenichi Hashimoto (named in this article as the producer of the AA series overall), and Shunsuke Nishida (producer of the AAIC collection) about the games. It's a long interview with a lot of interesting elements including the reactions to the announcement, a brief mention of the consideration of changing some moments for modern times (example given is the LGBTQ content in the 456 collection - I believe referring to some events in DD, but no specifics), details into the process of upgrading the character minisprites, the staff's favorite characters and cases, why Franziska is 13 in the key art, and other fun details. The part I want to highlight here is what they say about upcoming merch and the future of the ace attorney series.

This small segment of the interview had one part previously translated by nintendoeverything, but there are some little details that I noticed in the full interview that were incorrect so I'm posting this here. But please note that I'm doing this primarily with auto-translate with tiny corrections on the tiny bits of AA-related words in Japanese that I know, which isn't much, so there are likely still inaccuracies in this. Please don't hesitate to correct me if you spot any!

--The " Ace Attorney Series" merchandise has been very popular, including the "Ace Attorney Investigations Lottery" held on Capkuji Online. What do you think about fans purchasing merchandise? Hashimoto : As for merchandise, I have the impression that it sells out across the board for the past few years. The "Ace Attorney" series merchandise is basically sold out on the first day, and it's the same for the "Ace Attorney Investigations" series. This year is the 15th anniversary of the "Ace Attorney Investigations" series, and I've been talking to the store staff about "putting out a lot of Ace Attorney Investigations-related merchandise". There are things that we haven't been able to put out before because it's the 15th anniversary, so this year, the "Ace Attorney Investigations" series is especially hot. There are still some goods that haven't been released, so please look forward to them.

Since there hasn't been much AAI merchandise since around the time of the original release of AAI, I'm super looking forward to seeing what they'll put out. The Capkuji Online lottery they speak of is the one that had the giant tsum of Edgeworth, and I really hope they someday will make that available for general purchase.

--Many fans are hoping that purchasing merchandise will lead to new releases, but is that actually the case? Hashimoto: That's true. The fact that we have such passionate players' support is something that the entire company, including the management, can recognize, even more than just us developers, so it's very important. Of course, the sales of merchandise itself do not cover the development costs of new titles, but it does lead to discussions about how to develop the game in the future if it's that popular, so the fact that people are purchasing merchandise is a very important indicator.

AA merchandise does seem to be doing very well.

--Since this is a work with many overseas fans, we asked overseas users, "What would you like to tell the developers? What would you like them to hear?" Particularly impressive was the feedback from users living in independent language regions, who were pleased with the multilingual support for "Ace Attorney Investigations 1 & 2 Collection," following "Ace Attorney Apollo Justice Trilogy." In the midst of all this, the one thing that has been attracting attention is the future development of the "Ace Attorney Investigations Series." What are your thoughts on this? Hashimoto : We will not stop the "Ace Attorney Investigations Series" content. Of course, we want to develop it in various ways, including other media types. I think there will be something to tell you when it is time to make an announcement, but at the moment I can't say anything.

This part is what was translated in the interview I linked, but it misses a few key distinctions: One is the specification of "Ace Attorney Investigations" over "Ace Attorney". (Or "Gyakuten Kenji" vs "Gyakuten Saiban", if that makes things clearer.) So that makes me think that this isn't referring to an AA7 or Apollo Justice anime, but something specific to the AAI games -- whether that's an anime adaptation, maybe another stage play, or possibly in the future...... aai3.

Another note is what the translated interview calls "mixed media", which comes from "メディアミックス" (literally "media mix"). "Mixed media" in English, to my knowledge, generally refers to a single piece of art which is made up of different forms, which is not what they're talking about here. The Japanese term used here appears to mean more of a "multimedia franchise" - extending the series beyond just games, to other forms that will bring in a wider audience - which makes me think they have something in the works that's not a new game, but something in a different form related to AAI. So I'm curious about what they have planned, whether it would be an adaptation of the existing games or original work with the same characters like my favorite stage play Turnabout Teleportation.

And on the topic of stage plays...

--While there are many die-hard fans of the plays, unfortunately the performance of " Ace Attorney: Turnabout Parallel World " has been postponed. Will we ever get to see lawyer Miles Edgeworth, the perfect idol Franziska von Karma, and the number one host Larry Butz? Also, is there any possibility of a novelization? Iwamoto : (Whispering) Please say it. Please say it more (laughs). Hashimoto : Due to the schedules of the cast, it may be difficult to do it in exactly the same format, but I personally would like to see it. I'm always thinking about how I want to do it and make it happen.

Turnabout Parallel World was a stage play intended for 2020 that got postponed for obvious reasons... and then rescheduled for 2021, where it was postponed again for the same obvious reasons. It hasn't been officially cancelled and we haven't heard anything about it since then, and to my knowledge this is the first acknowledgement of it since then. It does sound like they want to include it in some way.

Novelizations of new AA stories aren't a new concept, but have typically been Japan-only and not gained much traction in the English-speaking fandom.

Finally, Hashimoto's comments to close out the interview:

Hashimoto: As I mentioned at the beginning, I thought it was important to have people play existing content on the current platform, and with the release of "Ace Attorney Investigations 1 & 2 Collection," we're finally ready. I want to deliver it to people who don't know about the "Ace Attorney Series" or haven't touched it, including people in countries with additional languages, as well as in Japan. As I mentioned earlier, we will not stop the "Ace Attorney Series" after that, and it will continue to the 25th and 30th anniversaries. We would like to continue preparing for new developments and expand the series.

The use of "Ace Attorney Series" here doesn't make a distinction between mainline or investigations (just "Gyakuten series"). So while there's definitely something in the works for AAI, there's probably something for mainline as well.

The 25th anniversary is coming up fairly soon in 2026, with the 30th anniversary in 2031. This is not nearly as far away as it feels like it should be. Judging by this interview and similar ones over the last year, it feels more and more likely that we will be getting new ace attorney content in one form or another in the next couple of years at least.

Of note to the Athena fans, the interview also contains this comment from Hashimoto, when talking about favorite characters in AAIC and the series overall:

Throughout the series, I've always liked Athena (Cykes). I've always thought to myself, "I wonder if there's something Athena can do as the main character?" (laughs).

It's not the most serious statement or necessarily a promise, but maybe the tiniest nugget of hope for Athena fans.

Anyways, those are the highlights of the interview from me - again please correct me if there's anything that needs correcting. I highly encourage people to check out the full interview since it has lots of interesting stuff, and hopefully there will be a properly translated version of it out someday!

Speaking of twst events, what are your Top 3 Favourite game events so far? I'm genuinely curious. :'DD

Are there any events you didn't like?

[Referencing this post!]

Mmmm… I think most events are at least okayish? In general, I tend to prefer stories with high stakes or the ones that have some meaningful impact on character development, which are few and far between when it comes to TWST 😅 so their events aren’t typically my thing! You’ll notice that my favorite events in TWST actually do have story and/or character relevance.

That being said!! My favorite events would have to be:

Glorious Masquerade — This is, in my opinion, TWST’s strongest story and best overall event. It stands out against the others by having actual stakes and fully committing to it, as well as does wonders for the SSR trio’s involvement and interests in taking down the Big Bad. This is particularly true of Idia and Malleus. Said Big Bad, Rollo, is also very compelling in his own right.

Wish Upon a Star — Historically, this was the first time we saw the student’s rooms! The story itself introduced us to Star Rogue, which was pivotal to the Shrouds’ childhood (and later becomes relevant again in book 6). It was sweet to see Deuce try so hard to get Idia to come out of his shell, and even sweeter to see how far Idia is willing to push himself for his brother.

Fairy Gala: What If (NOT the first Fairy Gala; this is an important distinction!) — The edge this has over the original is that it is connected to Ortho’s growth as an individual post-book 6. He is able to discover his own take on what “evolution” is. Silver also gets a cool spotlight which demonstrates the pacifist teachings he was imparted with, serving as the bridge between fae and humans. Very pretty clothes and makeup too!!

I also liked:

Happy Beans Day I and II — This was a nice event that gave the whole cast their time to shine without feeling too bloated. It was also fun to see the different strategies and tactics each student employed; it helps show off their characters and problem solving abilities!

Ghost Marriage — I really liked that TWST parodied the fairy tale love stories and romantic events (that Disney and even mobile games in general are typically associated with). Hilarious how each of the guys tried and failed because they’re just silly high school students with no idea how to actually get a date 😂 I’m also biased for any outfit that involves formal wear.

White Rabbit Festival (Queendom of Roses hometown event) — The Alice in Wonderland aesthetic of Clock Town captured my heart 😌 It was also nice to see Deuce prove that he has turned over a new leaf to the townspeople.

The events I didn’t care for are:

Endless Halloween Night — I have very strong beef with the ending and the reasoning given for it 💀 It feels like everyone got gaslit into forgiveness… I also hated how no one held Malleus fully accountable after all the stress they were put through. Easily my most disliked event.

Tamashina Mina (Sunset Savanna hometown event) — Underwhelming ending in spite of the hype building for it. No meaningful payoff for the foreshadowing of Cheka’s guards.

Tsumsted Wonderland I and II — Nothing really happens (other than I guess the Tsums being cute)?? And it doesn’t really make an impact on anything.

Lost in the Book with Stitch — Same issue(s) as the Tsumsted events, except somehow even worse because everyone magically forgets everything they did with Stitch :/ so the experience means nothing in the long term…

Honorable mentions for my dislikes:

All Master Chef/Culinary Crucibles — I hate having to sit around and wait for ingredients and the fact that you can’t cook multiple dishes in one go. The lack of story also makes these events just not worth it for me.

Sam’s New Year Sale(s) and TWST Anniversary — Do these event count as a story event???? They’re just kinda celebratory short interactions, if anything.

[fictionfixations]

wiki

I FIGURED OUT HOW PEOPLE ADD STUFF ON THE WIKI

there's TEMPLATES

(god i feel like sebek with all these caps)

ive mostly just been seeing how other people do it and referencing it (cause there's specific names for things. like the navigation box for events having its own thing and a specific name for its 'type')

so so.

You know that one post I made sharing Azul's birthday bloom lines because it wasn't on the wiki? I ADDED THOSE

not the recordings tho because i dont know how to do it and i dont think recent-ish cards have those audio files (you basically add stuff from a sort of 'storage'. Like. you put in the name and it just. appears. like, for card type or something like that you put in the card name, like, say, 'Birthday Bloom', and that card appears there. its cool.)

i dont know how to explain it.

I did it for tsumsitter kalim too

and then because i am insane i did his vignette too (MY HANDS HATE ME). im so bad at describing how the tsum moves around. it was repetitive with 'hops'

because i am undescriptive (also the tsumsitter doesn't have a icon as far as i can tell. so most of the parts with tsumsitter kalim i just switched to his dorm uniform one. but for that one bit where he picks up the tsum i set it to tsumsitter. so its just. red. ALSO i KNOW its tsumsitter because i went to riddle's and checked what outfit name they used for him and its Tsumsitter.)

i got lazy and stopped describing when it left. so if anyone wants to go do that be my guest.

anyway i dont know if there's some special thing for when a time skip happens. like when there's a black swipe to signify talking/time skip so. fshuif

i dont know how to add him to the vignettes box either so. whoops. (i didnt even know there was a vignette navigation box ngl)

and because. for some odd reason i like doing this. i added chapter 5-1, 5-2, and 7-1 of Sam's New Year Sale 2024 (That's Pomefiore's bit, and then Diasomnia's visit. contemplating adding Diasomnia's leave too but my hands hurt). because those are pretty short and dont make me die inside (everything else is so absurdly long and at that point when i feel like stopping i just dont want to leave it unfinished like that yknow?? so i just keep going until im done and then die inside)

i dont think there's a file for the hagoita thingy??? the paddle. thing. i know in some chapters in other stuff it shows images of the item itself. but i looked back to when it was first introduced and there's no image of it showing it. and i tried searching for the file but nothing. so. it prob doesnt exist.

anyway if there's any typos im sorry. its more noticeable on stuff like the name and outfit cuz any typos mess it up, but on text, unless it has that red squiggly, im blind

SSR Azul Ashengrotto Tsumsitter Personal Story: Part 2

"A Moment with Azultsum II"

(Part 1) Part 2 (Part 3)

[Mostro Lounge]

Azul: You wish to see the Tsum as the Lounge's owner? What do you think you're saying, Jade?

Floyd: An owner takeover bid. Basically, you're being let go, Azul.

Azul: Don't be ridiculous. There's no way I would let that happen.

Jade: You may say that, but in the business world, the only thing that matters is results…

Jade: Are you saying that you would be able to generate even more profit than the Tsum has in this short period of time?

Azul: Of course. Besides, I cannot allow such a pushy and classless method to continue.

Floyd: Huuuh? You sure you can call someone else pushy and classless?

Jade: If anything, I do believe that is entirely your brand, wouldn't you say?

Azul: I don't understand how you could possibly think that thing could resemble me…

[Azultsum presses a menu against another student]

[Azultsum continues pressing more menus]

Floyd: Seeeee? The way it just keeps on pressuring them with that shady grin,

Floyd: It's just like you usually are.

Azul: I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about.

Jade: Returning to the point at hand, I see no issue with the method it uses.

Jade: The most important aspect to keep in mind is that the Tsum has garnered more sales than Azul.

Jade: As someone who has the Mostro Lounge's best interests at heart…

Jade: I have no choice but to propose a refresh by transferring the ownership to new hands.

Azul: You say you have the Mostro Lounge's best interests at heart? Of course you would lie so brazenly about that.

Azul: You've just found something to tease me about and are simply thoroughly enjoying yourselves.

Azul: You brushed it off as "only" a suggestion earlier, but essentially you two seem to be asking me to leave.

Azul: I emphatically refuse. I have no intention of going along with your tasteless games.

Jade: We aren't playing any sort of game. We simply made this suggestion after serious consideration.

Azul: Oh, is that so… I see.

Azul: Well, if you are going to insist that much, then allow me to show you why I am the more suitable owner.

Azul: I challenge you, Tsum. We shall compete for ownership of the Mostro Lounge!

[Azultsum gives serious look]

Floyd: Oooh, looks like the Tsum's raring to go. So, how're you gonna do this?

Azul: We'll split the Lounge into two, and I shall be the owner of one half.

Azul: The Tsum will take ownership of the other half, and we will see who makes more sales.

Azul: The winner is the undisputed superior owner and will take over Mostro Lounge from there on out.

Azul: Well, I'll be the one to win, of course.

Jade: So you plan on settling things once and for all with a head-to-head battle, I see. What an interesting concept you've concocted.

Azul: Jade, Floyd, you can join the Tsum's side. I have no need for your assistance.

Jade: Oh, are you sure? Do you truly think you will be able to garner more sales than the Tsum without our help?

Floyd: If you reeeeally beg for it, I'll help you～ C'mon, c'mon, y'don't wanna grovel for me even a little bit?

Azul: Don't make me repeat myself. Even if I were to keep you by my side, you would only get in my way.

Jade: So untrusting of your employees, what a horrid manager… Ah, my mistake, former manager…

Floyd: Guess that kind and charming Tsum really is more suited to be the owner of the Mostro Lounge, huh.

Azul: Yes, yes, alright. Then please, go ahead and play manservants to that Tsum.

Jade: Now then, we shall call the side where the Tsum is the owner the "Mostro Lounge First Branch."

Jade: And the side where Azul is the owner can be the "Mostro Lounge Second Branch."

Azul: Wait a moment! Why am I the second branch?

Floyd: 'Cause me n' Jade're over here, and it's just you over there.

Floyd: If you think about what's closer to the original Lounge structure, that's totally this side.

Azul: … Well, whatever. Everything will be made clear soon enough.

Azul: I shall show you that no one other than me is capable of being the owner of the Mostro Lounge.

[Azultsum jumps for joy]

Floyd: Looks like the Tsum's all excited too.

Azul: I hold no grudges against the Tsum, but I shall have no mercy. Allow me to show you all the proper way to run a Lounge like this.

I've got Sam's New Years Sale on the mind and I am now subjecting you to my wild card theories.

Sale Take 1:

Sale Take 2:

Sale Take 3:

A few things I want to preface this partial prediction with. Based on the trends, I think every boy is getting a New Year's Attire. Yes, even your fave. They started with 2 cards (Kalim and Deuce) and since then have released 4 each year. If this trend continues, I would expect 3 more New Years Sale events with 4 cards each, 2 SSRs and 2 SRs. The only thing that throws me off is... him (glances over to Leona). This is a lottery students sign up for. He would NEVER sign up for it willingly, but let's assume the stars align and the man is forced to be here. There's also King of the Introverts Idia Shroud, but I'm sure there's something he'd get out of it that makes him set out on the service worker quest. He and Sam have a bit of an understanding, I'm sure there's a valid reason he can make an appearance as a card in the event.

Now as for who is getting paired up and who is appearing this year, I have a theory. Looking back at the combinations of the past 3 events in terms of dorms, the first was Heartslaybul (H) and Scarabia (Sc). The second was Savanaclaw (Sa), Diasomnia (D), H, and Pomefiore (P). The third was H, P, Ignihyde (I), and Octavinelle (O). So far, no combination has had two members of the same dorm at once. Therefore, I think in each event, the 4 will all be from different dorms (that also makes it more fun when the dorms come into the shop if only one of them is a worker). So if you think of the next groups as breakdowns of 4, that means two of the three will have an H boy (Ace and Riddle), and all of the upcoming events have a D boy (Silver, Malleus, Lilia). So that would like

H D

H D

D

Not in that particular order, but you get the idea. Now as for who will be in this next event specifically, I have another theory. So far, we have had an Sc, Sa, D, H, and P SSR. The fact they don't repeat a dorm in this order is something I find interesting. Based on this trend, I believe in this next event, the SSRs will be an I and an O. Because Ortho is already in an event, I think this year we are getting an SSR New Year's Attire Idia (or at the very least at some point, fair is fair, every dorm should get at least on SSR), which would make this a stacked year for Idia as he already has Tsum SSR but I still think this is right. And folks. IDIA IN CUSTOMER SERVICE! THINK OF THE VIGNETTE. As for O, it could go for either Floyd or Azul. Both are spectacular candidates for that vignette and I'm not really leaning towards any, but mark my words one of them is getting an SSR.

"But didn't Ortho and Jade JUST appear last year" yes they did. But I don't think that'll be an issue because in event 2, Cater and Vil appeared as SRs and the following year Trey and Rook appeared as SSRs. O and I for this event should still work.

And if we go with my previous prediction, that puts a D boy in there as well. Which of the three still available it will be, I'm not so sure. Probably depends on who would Duo the best with those I predicted (and based on my prediction I know EXACTLY which one many people are going to manifest). As for the fourth person, I actually don't know. We could be in the set that either includes an H or doesn't. There's a 2/3 chance of one appearing, but that would be 4 H boys in a row. I don't know if they are pumping them all out as quickly as possible or if they'll stop and put another dorm in. That fourth person could literally be almost any other dorm (P (Epel), Sc (Jamil), Sa (Leona or Jack)) Also, there's nothing against two dorms appearing together in two events (case: H and P both appearing in two events). This is probably another case of the Duo logic, except Duo predictions don't tend to make sense to me especially since they can repeat, so I don't even try to make sense of them. They turn me into that one dude with the whiteboard meme (Actually that image matches most of the nonsensical theories I spout).

At the very least, based on my model an O and an Sa should appear with an H and D, either in the same event or different ones. In the one with Sa, D, and H, the 4th just won't be Epel because that's just event 2 in another font.

So that also leaves 4 other SSRs to wildly speculate about. Now, this becomes less of a theory and enters more personal desire territory. I want Jack to be one of them. BREAK HIM OUT OF R JAIL, HE DESERVES A WIN, GIVE HIM ANOTHER SSR YOU COWARDS! Um, yeah hopefully Jack gets one, man is long overdue. I REALLY want Silver or Malleus to get another one, they both only have, well, one. Actually, Malleus is getting another one with Tsum, so Silver is more so lacking. And Silver is my boy, so of course I want it to be him. But, just IMAGINE the Malleus in customer service vignette. It's too tantalizing to not want. I doubt both could get one because Sebek has one, so it has to be one or the other (watch it be Peepaw, coming in with a steel chair to steal the SSR from his sons). Throwing it out there: Diasomnia SSR is after this one. Based on the conspiracy theory I have I won't elaborate on. Ok now as for the other two, I'm going to say NOT Jamil. Funny enough, I predicted him getting the SR in Tsumsted 3 and he was an R wildly enough (a true win for One SR Trey), so I don't have a good track record predicting Jamil cards (Tapis Rouge baffled me). Anyway, this is based on the fact Kalim already has one and if the whole dorm has one it'd be giving favoritism. Also, I have no idea where a vignette could go from there. (Gosh, I don't know WHY they don't give the SRs vignettes anymore, Deuce got one and I love it). Using that same logic for Leona. The favoritism thing, not the vignette. That vignette would be hysterical. Man, customer service Leona is going to be so funny. It's just if I bank on Jack, then Leona should be an SR to keep the peace (Please let it be Jack, LEONA HAS ENOUGH (no hate to Leona btw)). That leaves me with 2 more SSRs and 4 contenders. I think Heartslabyul can spare another since there's just Trey so far, so there's a good chance Ace or Riddle could get an SSR. Perks of being the biggest dorm. So I guess that leaves an O boy and Epel. Since I think one O boy is getting it this year, that means the other is in competition with Epel to snag two SSRs for their dorm. That'll be interesting to see.

Ok, now watch me be completely wrong.

PLOT DROP 32: DIFFUSION

When The Prosperity enters the area around Kor'sel'Koo where communications transmissions are most accessible, Muffy and Hero find themselves met with a wave of messages to sift through and sort.

To Skylar and Ali from Karmel: Happy belated anniversary in Earth years. Enjoy a round of drinks at Yggld Drinks on me. [Enclosed is a gift certificate for a round of ten shots from the Water Bar and Alcohol Bar chain Yggld Bars, which is ubiquitous in every major settlement on Kor'Sel'Koo.]

To Beck from "K": If you've made it safely and find yourself with a spot of free time, I'd love if you visited.

To Ali from Zuytri: Hi, Friend! Here's the contact information for that person we were talking about that I think you might want to meet. Medri in room 806 Jallik in the Ulsgian Moon Retirement Community.

To Laurie from Viola Dessamer of Revvly Capsule Hotels: Thank you for signing up for the Revvly Capsule Hotels communications list. If you are in need of a safe space, we are always here for you. Read between the lines, and always feel free to reach out if you need a place to stay or cruelty-free, sustainably sourced, and practical meals.

To Theo from someone in the music business in Different City [the equivalent of about $200 in gixys are included]: Hello, Theo. Enclosed are some royalties from the sales of your music. It isn't that many gixys, but I'm pleased to let you know that some of your songs have been gaining a few fans. We anticipate being able to send you some more in six months.

To HJ from Junyi: Hey, bae!! It's really starting to be a long time since we've seen each other but I don't think I'll ever miss you any less. Work is going so good that I think I might be getting quasi-semi-kind of famous. I got some AH MAY ZING new tsum tsums and I stacked all of the ones I could find into a giant pyramid. Sometimes I think 'hey, Junyi, maybe you have a problem with collecting' but then I make a giant pyramid and everything is okay. I'm sending you a collection of my favorite memes that I've found over the last week and I hope that you cherish at least one of them because they made me smile and think of how nice it would be to look at memes with you. Did you know that "meme" rhymes with "steam"? I didn't know that until yesterday. Anyway anyway anyway I love you soooo much and you're sooooo pretty and sooooo good at communicating, HJ. I think about how happy I was to get to meet you all the time and how lucky I am to get to continue to talk to you.

To Robin from Jayvon: Robin, hello! Just wanted to let you know that I started a new job as a close combat officer on a brand new pirate crew, The Dreamhouse. I love it, and I'm glad that I have someone to tell the good news. If our crews are ever in the same area (I'm on Marloken right now), we should meet up and exchange stories.

To Marshall from her Dads: Marshall! We heard you would be going to Kor'Sel'Koo, so we are sending some of our favorite pictures of you and the family when you were younger and we lived there. Also, enclosed are up-to-date addresses and contact information for your cousins and other family. If you have the time, I'm sure they would love to meet up. All of us send our love!

To Daphne from Muzzain: Coast is clear still. Looking forward to meeting with you. "If you're out on the road Feelin' lonely and so cold All you have to do is call my name". These are poignant lyrics from the Gilmore Girls theme song. My name is Muzzain. Until we meet.

To Samira from Makhaira: How is your life going? We exchanged contact information a while back, but I never wrote. I don't know how much you want to hear this, but I've picked up a new hobby: pickleball. It's the one thing I'm a little better at than most of my family, but they haven't given up on playing. We installed our own court, which sounds completely rich erkuss girl of me, but I'm glad for it. What's been keeping you busy?

To Ian from Marlene: It was very nice to see you, Ian. I'm glad that you seem happy with your new crew, and I hope we can meet up again sometime. I don't like to mean ill will of others, but if I had to pick a different ship to crew on than my own, it would be Prosperity. Safe travels.

To Beck from Julia: Hey, Wanker. I know your birthday's not for a few weeks, but apparently the Three Stooges from the galx got their act together and won't leave us the hell alone. The twins wanted to make sure you got their birthday video messages. While they're starting to be rebellious little buggers (I know I'm getting old when I shake my head and sigh saying teenagers) they do love and miss you. They made me say something nice because I called you wanker but I think you're all right.

To Marshall from Oplo: You fixed our air conditioning, correct? Can you send tips?

To Daniel from Seetha: Hi, Daniel! I've missed talking with you so much, I've come to realize. I wanted to tell SOMEONE that isn't being a big meanie (Leo, he's being a big meanie) that I have a boyfriend now! :) His name is Frodo and he's so darling. I think you'd get along famously if you met. My captain is getting sentimental and sending messages to your ship, so I thought I'd send them too.

To Ryder from Seetha: I heard how Leo treated you from him and I am APPALLED. I know it was a while ago, but he's been so bratty and callous to you and also sweet Daniel and Ian. It sounds like he's cleared the air before, but it still doesn't sound right to me. Let me know if you need me to get a real apology out of that meanie on your terms. I know he'll actually mean it because he's apparently stopping his weird bedroom behavior and slowly but surely coming to terms with that. My goodness. You don't deserve that weird behavior.

To Skylar from Kenna: [It's just a picture of French fries with a digital smiley face drawn over]

--

By the time the crew touches down on Kor'Sel'Koo on 3/22/24, all of the messages have been sorted and provided and we pick up a new crew member: Mari, a quirky mate who is 4'6" of apparently pure enthusiasm.

The crew doesn't immediately settle down, as there are messages to read and Gilmore Gilrs to figure out.

--

Muzzain, the far'ly'dae one who ordered all of that Gilmore Girls merchandise, is staying temporarily in Wuunzek, a smallish city about an hour (by underground tunnel train) from Twarvu.

Wuunzek includes a variety of amenities, including Yggld Bars, the Inspired By Earth Waterpark (it's got a lazy river, a waterslide, and a wave pool), an enormous vitamin store aimed at Ly'Daesun called Yonrur, and more.

Wuunzek Population: 89% Far’Ly’Dae, 9% Erkuss, 1% Vanneer, 1% Carrek.

The process of getting the Gilmore Girls merchandise to the right place now will be... annoying because most of it actually needs to go to Twarvu. While it would normally take an hour and a half, the crew will probably take a full 24 hours to get their surreptiously.

[cozy-possum]

We can't afford the storage unit we have anymore which means I likely have to get rid of pretty much everything in it; expect a sales post next Thursday/Friday; most likely a just pay shipping sort of vibe since I don't want to just have to throw out everything. Most charity/thrift shops don't take toys where I am so they'd be thrown out from there (I used to work at one, I know the rules for their donations)

An idea of what to expect under the cut

Rainbow high, shadow high, monster high, dc superhero girls, novi stars, tsum tsum figures

[thatfanfictionchick]

Floyd would be the one to do it, though.

They'll have matching tsum plushies and keychains and graphic tees on sale within the hour.

It's fine he probably doesn't need that hand anyway

Because then it wouldn't be funny?

Azul's "better plan" is for the tsum to work at the lounge under Floyd's supervision 🤦‍♀️ IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS THAT A BETTER PLAN, AZUL?!
