ROLE: Playtime Kitten 😻

PLAYTIME KITTEN

Today, regardless of wherever Su Jiuqing is, they will soon receive a text message from Riff.

hey. can u come through the arch? i have something for u

They don't really have time to question what arch Riff means as the ground begins to rumble and a steel, blue archway erects before them.

As Su Jiuqing enters through the archway they'll find themselves in what appears to be a small park. Small, grassy slopes seem to stretch endlessly and a few unidentifiable buildings can be scene in the distance. Sitting on a bench under a tree is Riff with their phone in their hand. Without looking up, they send another message.

playtime kitten...ok then

RULES
1. make a choice from the list i give u
2. decide who is receiving what u pick
3. it cant be the same person each week sry
4. cant tell anyone either

After reading the rules, they will find that an image becomes the home screen of their phone and feel something...sticky...appear on their tongue as a temporary tattoo of the same image appears.

Once the brand settles in, Riff looks up from their phone, patiently waiting before there's an awkward shrug and another message.

ill try to help i guess

WEEK ONE

[saturations]

TALK TO RIFF

[saturations]

[they're seated on the bench and waiting.]

ITEM DECISION

[saturations]

[on your phone, you will soon find a new app in the image of a gift box. selecting this app, you will soon be presented with three icons:

A house
A sprout
A dinosaur

Please select one of the following options and three people whom you would like to bestow this item BY TUESDAY, 3PM EST.]

[countermeasures]

[i'm so sorry the first thing she does when this happens is stick out her tongue and take a picture of it to try and figure out why her tongue felt weird

once she sees it (and that it matches the image on her screen), she looks... confused, but looks back to the rules again before navigating to the gift box. hmm.]

This is... unexpected. [...] So these images must correspond to something... is it as straightforward as it looks? If I pick the sprout, will whatever person I pick get some kind of plant?

[saturations]

[since it's jiuqing, she gets a text to audio message.]

its more like
u have to pick to know what the prize is?
so it might sometimes be straightforward
sometimes not
use ur best judgment
and then pick three people u think should receive it

[countermeasures]

I see...

[hmm]

Will all three of them receive whatever I pick, or just one of them? Will I know who it went to? And if it is the case that it only goes to one, can I suggest the other two the following week, or will I need to submit three different names each time?

[saturations]

not sure
ur just gonna have to look around and see who might have a thing
u can but theres definitely a lot of u
so try to spread out
pick differently
u can also choose to keep it for urself
but just once

[countermeasures]

It might be a good idea to keep it myself first, just to get an idea of what I might be throwing at people later... but if I only get to do that once, maybe I should wait to do that...?

I think there are a few people who might show me if they received something...

[she's just thinking aloud...]

...I don't suppose the four of you are people I could pick?

[saturations]

if u want my advice i would wait
just to make sure its not something u might want later
and like...ur gonna wanna watch close
u may not know right away what u choose
but it will eventually become obvious
it doesnt hurt to pick people u trust first
so u can get an idea
but nah not us
we have our own stuff

[countermeasures]

[she nods, thinking that over]

Right...

If you were to pick any of the options this week, is there one you might prefer over another?

[saturations]

hmm
i think it has to be ur choice
im not totally sure if i have a preference
they should all be ok

[countermeasures]

All right. I think I know what I'm going to choose. Thank you, Riff.

[countermeasures]

[she picks the sprout!

as for who to potentially give it to - hot pants, emet-selch, or ruby.]

[saturations]

sure
i think ull do great with this
so keep an eye out

[countermeasures]

That's the plan!

[she talks regularly with all three of the people she picked so she doesn't think it will be too difficult to be nosy and see what they might have ended up with.]

[saturations]

[When Su Jiuqing makes her choice, the sprout image unravels and grows into a beautiful vine before a message pops up in the app.]

Thank you for your selection! Your recipient will receive their gift shortly.

[saturations]

ur taking this pretty well

[they appreciate it.]

[countermeasures]

[she looks at the selection message on her phone, then looks at them]

...well... I still don't really understand what this is meant to accomplish, but I'm sure you wouldn't have me do it without a reason.

And if whatever these gifts are might help, then I'm glad to do it.

[saturations]

[hm...well.]

i think its a way to help ya
especially with how things are now
a way to make things better

[countermeasures]

Then I'll do my best with it.

[she will try to make strategic choices!



while i cry about guessing what icons mean probably]

[saturations]

anything else u want to cover today?

[countermeasures]

[oh that sticker is so cute. she beams.]

You're welcome! I think that's it for now... this seems pretty straightforward. But if I come up with questions later, would you mind if I sent you a message to ask?

[saturations]

sure
u can always come over too
probably safer for smth like that
ill see what i can answer
just txt me first

[countermeasures]

Oh, yes... I guess since I'm not supposed to tell anyone about this, it would be better not to put my questions in writing in case someone looks at my phone.

[imagine if she got doxxed at trial because we did a text check.]

How about this, then...? If I have a question about all of this, I'll send you, "Can I come over?" But if I just want to come over to hang out, I'll send, "Do you feel up to having me come over?"

[saturations]

exactly
better to be safe that way
but like a code?
that sounds pretty good to me
i can remember that
