Paradise Lost Hall

= Paradise Lost Hall =

Scenery
A huge convention center with a dome overhead that can open and close.

It covers a wide area and is several stories tall. Built to such a large scale, everything about it is bigger than the buildings nearby.

At its center is a large event hall that doubles as a stadium.

The upper levels of its periphery have all sorts of conference rooms lined up next to each other for smaller to mid sized events. You could say it's a combination of recreation center and stadium.

But nowadays, the dome has burnt down, and the outer walls are noticeably fire-scarred. Everyone in the area knows about the huge fire from several months ago, and foot traffic to the hall is all but gone.

Specifics
Its official name is the Pleasure Paradise Hall.

It's a conference center with much history behind it, that's been used for all sorts of school events and announcements by the Kamimachi Academy.

The central stadium frequently hosts concerts, sports competitions, martial arts tournaments, large scale social events, and much more.

The outer ring of conference rooms is used for various activities by hobby circles.

Even though the academy's morals have been on the decline, there hasn't been much of a change in how they've used the event hall... plus it holds many memories for people.

All until the PP Inferno a few months ago.

It all started out during the 『257th VI Grand Prix』.

Where VIs—that is, Virtual Idols; gods taking that role—come together to meet with their fans (believers)... along with stealing away each other's believers, speaking ill of the others, and even getting hands-on with each other. It's a popular event, even if rather rowdy.

When right in the middle of everything, the underground idol Pure Princess (nicknamed PP) showed up out of nowhere uninvited, setting the whole convention center on fire, literally.

The various gods got in each other's way and failed to lead a proper evacuation, leading to the deaths of nearly a hundred people in the huge blaze that resulted.

Since then, it's been treated as a memorial site, and no more large-scale events have taken place... there's been a sharp drop in use of the smaller conference rooms as well.

Having "lost everything to a snake," it's now referred to as Paradise Lost Hall. The management has been putting their all into restoring the hall's image and customer base, but as-is, it's only a hangout spot for delinquent students. More mainstream events have been shifting more and more towards the Purgatory Arena.

Of note, there's rumors that the new name, "Paradise Lost," has been revitalizing the one and only God, Yahweh. In fact, the demons of Pandemonium have been desperately trying to return the hall to its original name however they can.

Pure Princess

 * Origin: Avatar
 * Adept: Seeker

A net idol known by the nickname 「PP-chan」.

The culprit behind the PP Inferno and numerous other murders by arson.

She has a sizable bounty of 1000 credits on her head.

Her true name is Kiyohime.

As per the famous legend of the Dōjō-ji temple.

She was born with no destiny of her own, but fell madly in love with the monk Anchin, and ultimately transformed into a giant serpent and burned him to death.

Her songs are about mad love itself. They make those who listen believe that PP-chan is in love with them personally.

Because of this, there are many who yearn for her and call themselves her lovers, even when knowing her true identity.

Her own madness and her fans' love have come together to turn her into a near-immortal being.

All around the world, many times she's been defeated and disappeared. But after ten days, she always comes back... there's been a large amount of money put out for her permanent disappearance.

Pure Princess has a unique set of standards to pick out which of her fans (or happenstance viewers) could be her "Anchin."

Then, after scrutinizing them through relentless surveillance and stalking, her avatar goes off to bestow her love. Much lovey-dovey time commences.

As a lover, she is wonderful, and you'll no doubt have a time worthy of being called a honeymoon.

However, when using her unique standards, she determines that person is "not her Anchin," she accuses them of lying to her, and burns them to death.

The PP Inferno itself was a result of someone she decided was her "Anchin" cheering for another god.

However, that inferno was what chained her as a goddess.

The tragedy became known throughout the world, and since then Pure Princess has become strongly associated with the Paradise Lost Hall. Now, her appearances are growing more and more concentrated within the hall.

The reason behind the hall coming to be called "Paradise Lost" in the first place, is due to a plot by Anti-Demon Action to transform Kiyohime into another being—"the original serpent," Lucifer.

However, Lucifer himself, not to mention the other demons of Pandemonium, are desperate to keep that from happening.

Scenario Hooks

 * The 『VI Grand Prix』, which prides itself on having been held since even before the Cataclysm, is in jeopardy due to the PP Inferno. For the 258th holding, people have been seeking out someone to serve as a decoy for PP through the duration of the event.
 * Those of Pandemonium request a huge fire to be started in an opposing cult, that leads others to believe it was the work of Kiyohime.
 * Pure Princess requests that the horrible person who deceived her and made her disappear (in other words, a victim) be killed.

Event: KIYOHIME
This event can occur whenever, as many times as the GM wishes.

Roll a Karma Check (Luck).

On a failure, the feed on a screen you were watching suddenly changes, one of Pure Princess' guerilla streams starting.

Roll another Karma Check (Luck). On another failure, Pure Princess will appear before you in person, automatically becoming an NPC contact. She counts as a 「Lover」, 「Ruffian」, and 「Patron」. If you gain her Contact Effect, you can gain the benefits of all three of these at once.

However, while she's your contact in this way, you cannot ERP with anyone else. As well, every 6 hours, roll a Karma Check (Luck). On a failure, Pure Princess will 「Surprise Attack」 you at zero range, before combat begins. Making her vanish (even temporarily) will cause her to forget about the PC, and she'll no longer be your contact.
