#gfs start

[[Hey everyone! Welcome to GFS #4 ! In response to the feedback you guys gave us on the survey, here are some new options with GFS!

Updated Rules + Additional Actions

You will now be allowed to do Group Walks with yourself and up to two other people. If you wish to take this route, add the mods into a group and quickly write our your walks so the mods can tell you the success of your individual actions. Once you’ve finished collaborating, please condense it into a post and have one player submit!

There are now interactive set pieces in Group Fashion Show. You’ll need to investigate to see exactly what they do and what they look like for each show, since they’ll change to match the theme! Feel free to utilize these however you want (or not at all!)

Sabotage Tactics have also been added. If you want to slick up the stage with oil, toss paint onto your fellow contestants, or any other devious plan you guys can come up with - please message the mods! If you wish to prank a specific character, you’ll need to grant their OOC permission first to avoid conflict. Doing a general prank that can affect anyone only requires the mod’s consent.

When you approached the stage, you noticed a few things were.... different. You were certain that the elaborate castle setup wasn’t something you had seen before, nor was the mechanical dragon spiraling around the runway stage. Nor were the twinkling robots zipping here and there, emitting bell-like chimes.

Your mascots themselves bowed to you as you filed in, and it was Miryo-ke who picked you back up.

“Your highnesses! Welcome to our new ‘n improved fashion show, the Fourth Hope’s Peak’s Most Murderous! Nyahahahahaha! We thought the previous few gos were a little... how shall we say, basic, so we decided to incorporate 90% more danger and 110% more fun into it. ...That’s how percentages work, right?”

Shaking their head from side to side so that their whiskers smacked into their face with the momentum of the movement, they straightened up and clasped their paws in front of them. 

“And we have higher stakes this time around. Muuuuuuch higher stakes. Mew know all the death and doom and gloom? That was all just a taste for what’s to come. Nyahahah! Sooner or later, your number will come up. Think mew can just hide behind the others and use ‘em as scapegoats? We have your number. Good thing we don’t like all of you equally, so you’re on an even playing field. Nyanyways.”

There was a pause, and they brushed their muzzle with a paw.

“The theme for this Group Fashion Show is a special one, and works a bit different: “Fantasy Land”! That would make it a Fancy/Cute hybrid, which means you have those two categories to work from. Oh, I’m so excited. But before that...!”

Momotori cut in.

“But! Before you get going, because we know you’re ready to shake your tail feathers up there, we’ve decided that you guys deserve some more… options! Yup, yup! That’s the word! So, there have been some minor updates to Group Fashion Show rules!”

The chunky bird fixes their bowtie, clearing their non-existent throat.

“We’ve come to realize that maybe you chickadees simply have stage fright! And that’s why it’s so hard t’ get you to cooperate! So!!” They hold our their wings proudly, “We’ll now be allowin’ you guys to walk in groups!”

Momotori chuckles, wings returning to hips.

“In a group of no more than 3-” They think about it. “...Not that yous have that many of you left KYA-HAHA~” Clearing their throat, the bird continues, “You guys can now take your turn together! We’ll still be judging you independently, but you can try an’ hype each other up if your friend is performing exceptionally bad. Our non-existent hearts might not be swayed, but that should take the edge off!”

“Along with that! There will now be interactive obstacles and set pieces for you guys can try using to spice up your runway walks! Feel free to take your own look at the stage before going up to see what’s what. Though, be careful! If you mess up, we’ll only laugh at you Kehehe~”

Momotori giggles into their wings.

“The last thing t’ keep in mind is, in line with the new set pieces, if you’re worried about not doing well. We’ll… turn a blind eye t’ any foul play. You guys seem t’ be all buddy buddy - but how long will that hold up when you start realizing how poorly you’re doing I wonder. KYA-HAHAH!!”

With that, your avian judge seems satisfied and steps back in line with the others.

The cycle was predictable by now, like clockwork it came and went. While there was the occasional spanner in the works, you knew full well what to expect. All that was up in the air was when... and what the theme would be this time. 

At least it wouldn’t be too long of a delay until you found out, as your not-too-friendly neighborhood mascots appeared on your Modelpads with their characteristic grins. Miryo-ke made a shoving motion with their paws before pressing their face close to the camera, their mouth cracking open in their usual toothy grin.

“Nyello! Come to the runway, we have a nice fashion show waiting for mew!”

Pause.

“What? Ruin the surprise? C’mon, nya’ll know this by now. Chop chop!”
