PLOTDROP#01:

plotdrop01: the missing;; part one: behind the black horizon genre: horror, mystery, psychological, supernatural, suspenseful

ominous black clouds covered the sky as black cloaked figures moved freely. the once vibrant streets, now appear despondent. the thick air carries whispers of dread as the feeble sun rays struggle to pierce through the dark shroud. shadows elongate and writhe, as if the very ground were alive with apprehension. black-cloaked figures advance with intention, their presence a harbinger of despair. as they weave through the labyrinthine alleys, their eyes gleam with malevolent hunger, seeking out the hapless souls of new orleans. the city, bathed in sepulchral twilight, stands on the precipice of an unfathomable abyss, where light and hope seem but distant memories. as loved ones are snatched away, lost without a trace.

(this new plot drop will give us an opportunity to play out a large rescue plot. we are going to have a bunch of set ups mashed together, and a few mini activities and task to help you try to find out whether those who were taken are lost . we just won’t give away how all of this has happen just yet– that will be a surprise! )

@fcxrcin liked for a starter

( ☀ ) ─ Safe, yet dense, and oh so misty. The event had advertised itself as simple enough. Track a rabbit and catch it -- an activity Gelebor had done for the sake of survival so many times before. Yet each time the equally snowy rabbit showed itself amongst the grass, it slipped out into the mist, unscathed. Without a snare or any other trap, it seemed tracking was a worthless endeavour without a means to catch it.

At least there were other patrons struggling as much as he to snatch the little thing in their arms. After another slip, he rounds a few trees to find a young lady, as exhausted in the lapine chase as he. "Have you had luck catching this rabbit?" He asks, despite how clear the answer would be. No, she wouldn't still be in the woods if she had. "It's far more clever than a simple rabbit, those who created this event trained it well."

*  SATURDAY, APRIL 25th, 2020. —— continuing on from the night prior, edna’s generous enough to offer discounts on what she likes to call her “hangover healin’ breakfast.” however, if you’re not super hungry in the morning, spill ! tea shop & café is offering discounts on beverages, baked goods, & teas ; even announcing a specialty blend they made specifically for the flower festival ! speaking of which, the van winkle family’s flowers will be used as decor for almost everything —— pastel colors predominantly the theme this year ! then, later in the evening, everyone who is 18 & older is invited to kiss & tell bar + lounge at 8pm cst ( 9pm est / 6pm pst ) for a drag show ( including special guests from various seasons rupaul’s drag race, specifically alyssa edwards, trixie mattel, plastique tiara, kennedy davenport, & asia o’hara ! ) filled with local queens & entertainers, & throughout the drag performances, artists from gm entertainment will take the stage for début performances ( & the residents —— minus the gale-mcvey family —— aren’t aware of this, but delilah blair [ our kacey musgraves / taylor swift - based pop act signed to gm entertainment ] will make a special appearance to perform a limited set of her hits + a duet with trixie mattel ) ! if your muse is a musician & would like to take this opportunity to perform at the club’s concert, message the main & we’ll make it happen somehow —— we’d love as many of you to be involved as possible ! festivities at kiss & tell will conclude around midnight, but right after, there’ll be an after-party hosted by those who live in wisteria court’s esteemed cul-de-sac ( which, in my mind, are the coleman-pierce family, the howell-glenn family, & the gale-mcvey family, but if your opinions differ, let me know ! ) that’ll go all night long if you want it to, so make sure to pack lots of condoms !

*  SUNDAY, APRIL 26th, 2020. —— ah, sunday ! a day of rest, right ? well, SORT OF ! dorothy’s hideaway is closing its doors to the public, but are allowing the residents of wisteria court to enter their facility exclusively for a discounted price, & everyone who had a long weekend of partying may want to take this opportunity to soak in the hot springs, stew in the saunas, rejuvenate in the bathhouse, or book a massage to fully unwind ! another “treat” for those interested, that isn’t really public knowledge, is an orgy of sorts being held in the spa’s bathhouse around 6pm cst ( 8pm est / 4pm pst ) ! everyone will be together in one place, so who knows what’ll end up happening. i guess we’ll just have to wait & see !

          OKAY   , so I’ve been thinking --- and in the eight-months-or-so that I’ve been here, I’ve yet to actually do a relationship ad !  I’ve got my main relationships listed on my stats page, but I was thinking of making an actual relationships page soon. So I guess this post is to gauge interest from people I’ve already interacted a bunch with as well as see if anyone’s interested in some pre-established or planned dynamics down the road ! 

          If you like this post, expect me to Never Feel Bad about bothering you a bunch on meme day or with random minis/starters ever. May or may not gush about dynamics on tw*tter, giving you implicit permission to bother me/Ruby literally whenever, you know the drill. 

          I’m gonna cover the bases with the majority of relationship types that come to mind, whether filled or not, just so we’re all on the same page. So just reply to this post with a number / IM me / DM me if you’re interested !  If you like this post and our muses have already interacted a good bunch, then I’ll just take that as a sign that you’re interested in being on a relationship page --- although I may message you for clarification, so feel free to just mention your ideas in the replies ! 

01  :  teammates.           this is already filled by our resident  WEISS  ,  YANG  , and  BLAKE  . they’re essentially her family, and they’ll always be her top priority. it’s worth mentioning, though, that Rubes may refer to dynamics with other people as ‘team so-and-so’  --- whether they legit team up for an event, or it’s just a shorthand for their common interests (  ie team red, team weapons, things of that nature ). 

02  :  romance.           this is already filled by our resident  NEPTUNE  . he’s really cool and cute and stuff. i’m currently singleship in terms of group verse, but if that ever changes, i’ll make note of it !

03  :  close friends.          somewhere higher than friends, but not quite the same bond she shares with her teammates for obvious reasons. these are people she’ll think of, hang out with, and be affectionate with ( so long as they’re okay with that, ofc ) pretty regularly. she’ll be highly protective of them, checking in often and dropping by randomly/unannounced. she’s more likely to be relaxed, confident, playful --- just in general more talkative ! 

04  :  friends/coworkers.           pretty self explanatory !  people she’s on a first-name basis with, can hold a conversation with, enjoys spending time with. if you’re a coworker, she’ll make more of an effort to get to know you and get along with you, so they tend to shift towards this category too.

05  :  antagonistic.          ruby is, to her very core, a kind and well-meaning person. if you go out of your way to bully or antagonize others, if you’re discriminatory, if you’re smug or ignorant --- odds are she’ll take issue with you, and she doesn’t mind making that known. if you’re morally bankrupt, she’ll absolutely take issue with you --- and she’ll go out of her way to keep tabs on you. ask our resident  TORCHWICK  , he’s pretty much on this list by default and a shining example. this can range from small-scale personality clashes to large-scale outright opponents. 

06  :  unique.           have a particular dynamic idea you wanna try out ?  weapon aficionados, netpup enthusiasts that hang around the netwalk together, bookworms that get some coffee and chill in their downtime ?  ruby’s STATS PAGE  includes her likes/interests/can be found, so if something specific catches your eye just let me know !

This episode will air on December 1st. All of this may and should be changed to fit Luxe’s story, discography, and each of the members’ personalities.

Their comeback showcase starts at 7PM on the day of release. The MC of the night will be Kim Boyeon and she’ll start the show by calling the members one by one onto the stage. Once they’re in line, the MC will introduce their newest song before ‘Like A Cat’ starts to play. After they’re done, the group will make their official greeting and personal introductions. The MC will ask them questions about an explanation of their concept, album and title song, as well as their personal lives and latest member addition. They’ll perform ‘Cherry Pop’ next before another short break for playing simple games together. Before the end they’ll perform ‘Mini Skirt’ and as a planned encore, ‘Boy’, from their previous album. Once they leave the stage, their showcase will be over. Their outfits will be as seen below:

Cheri — Mina

Ella — Seolhyun

Euijin — Jimin

Yena — Choa

Zoe — Hyejeong

As shared by their company, end-of-the-year shows season is coming around, and LUXE will be attending a number of them. Due to this, they’ll have to practice their previous promoted songs in other to put a good stage and try to earn new fans through this big event as well as, maybe, earn some awards of their own.

The first award in line is the Asian Artist Awards on November 26th. Since the event will take place in Vietnam, the group will fly over to the other country a day before and stay in a hotel before returning to Seoul right after the show is over to prepare for their comeback showcase. Their roommates were separated as Cheri&Zoe; Ella&Eujin&Yena. Since this will take place before their comeback, the group will perform ‘Every Night’ and ‘Mini Skirt’. This will be their first public group performance with Euijin on the team.

After their new album is released, the group will have their first comeback stage on November 30th, during the Melon Music Awards which will take place at the Gocheok Sky Dome. ‘Like a Cat’ will be the only track they’ll perform. They’ll enter the stage while an intro audio plays before breaking into the song.

VOTIVE EVENT #01 SPRING FESTIVAL 2019

spring has arrived in the lunar district! the trees are all green, the flowers are in bloom, and everyone’s coming out to play. like the rest of the city, the lunar district has their own celebration to welcome in the season, and that entails a full week of delicious street food, market stalls, crazy discounts from all shops along the streets, and in-theme dressing! the festival runs from 12pm until 2am everyday for seven days! but how does votive participate, you might wonder?

The Votive takes part in the Spring Festival each year, and to celebrate this happy, fun-filled event, the employees take to the streets. regardless of their specialties, everyone is to dress in spring-themed clothing (think whimsical, airy materials, floral prints and flower crowns) and take the opportunity to pull in new customers around the district who might’ve never been to the votive before via whatever means. this isn’t mandatory and all employees are very much allowed to simply enjoy the festival, but there’s an incentive program in which employees get a 50% increase on their usual pay for every client they get signed up for a membership or a guest pass during the week.

WORK — for those looking to take advantage of the incentive:

ESCORTS: dress your best and wander the district, charming potential clients into signing up at the Votive for a membership. escorts are permitted to offer a discounted ‘trial’ of the service they provide at their own discretion.

DANCERS: take to any of the four stages provided by Votive around the district and put on a show! the resort will be advertised around the stage, but dancers must still personally do their part to draw in clients.

MASSEUSES/THERAPISTS: there will be two large tents set up where festival goers can stop by for a massage or a spa treatment, each tent is divided in two by a curtain and covered externally for privacy. therapists are able to give their customers loyalty stamp cards for future treatments to entice them into returning to Votive.

WAITERS/BARTENDERS/ETC: just outside the Votive building, a portable bar and chic popup restaurant will be set up for customers to stop and enjoy the quality cuisine and beverages on offer at Votive.

ACTIVITIES — for those looking to have some fun:

the lunar district will feature a large selection of food stalls, an outdoor cinema, live music and performances on the main stage, a mini amusement park complete with games, rides and even a ferris wheel! as well as those special features, the shops in the district — which include sex toy, lingerie, xxx-film and costume stores — will be bringing their wares and goods out into the streets with discounts and special offers.

THIS EVENT WILL RUN FROM SUNDAY 24TH MARCH UNTIL MONDAY 1ST APRIL! AFTER MONDAY, THREADS MAY BE CONTINUED BUT NO NEW STARTERS MAY BE POSTED. YOU MAY NOW BEGIN ROLEPLAYING — HAVE FUN AND REMEMBER TO TAG YOUR STARTERS WITH #votiveevent1!

Lesson 8: What is the best trade size in forex trading?

New Post has been published on https://hititem.kr/lesson-8-what-is-the-best-trade-size-in-forex-trading/

Lesson 8: What is the best trade size in forex trading?

– hey everybody welcome again these are your FX buying and selling one hundred and one lessons backed by woodland Park FX i’m Rob Booker welcome nice to look you right here we’re again once more we took a brief spoil that you simply didn’t see in between the final video and this one within the last video we mentioned exchange sizes and we talked in regards to the pip price for each alternate dimension micro mini and standard exchange sizes in this video I desired to speak about what the fine exchange size is that is a I get this question always now if you’re a beginner and you are buying and selling this is a really foremost query and i am gonna answer it mainly in view that you don’t get enough distinctive answers in the world of buying and selling in case your first trading account is not up to or equal to one thousand dollars then the very fine exchange measurement that you should use to begin with is zero.01 or a micro lot in fact your foreign exchange vendor may open an account for you referred to as a micro account where a micro alternate measurement is the starter alternate measurement if your account is between 5,000 and 10,000 and you know that is a range i know there is numbers missing in between here your nice alternate measurement is frequently zero.1 or a mini lot to begin with as a discretionary trader purchasing and promoting pushing buttons and whatnot in case your account is really over 20,000 then you could possibly trade five mini lots might be one normal lot might be for $10 a pip if you’re feeling fairly positive and you are feeling fairly just right in different phrases the very first-rate alternate measurement is small peculiarly to begin with now it does not imply it’s small perpetually once I first began trading the smallest exchange measurement you would exchange was once a common lot so I was coaching for $10 a pip on my first $1,000 account and i swiftly blew up my first buying and selling account when you consider that my trade size used to be so big why do I say that your trade size must stay small at least and notably at the beginning well let’s take for illustration I don’t know if that is up but yeah this is up so let’s take for example a one lot exchange dimension on the U.S. Dollar japanese yen and so we just purchased a one lot trade measurement on the united states greenback eastern yen and let’s consider we have a thousand dollar buying and selling account so if we’ve got a thousand dollars in our buying and selling account and the united states buck eastern yen strikes as it does one hundred pips in

Lesson 8: What is the best trade size in forex trading?

– hey everybody welcome again these are your FX buying and selling one hundred and one lessons backed by woodland Park FX i’m Rob Booker welcome nice to look you right here we’re again once more we took a brief spoil that you simply didn’t see in between the final video and this one within the last video we mentioned exchange sizes and we talked in regards to the pip price for each alternate dimension micro mini and standard exchange sizes in this video I desired to speak about what the fine exchange size is that is a I get this question always now if you’re a beginner and you are buying and selling this is a really foremost query and i am gonna answer it mainly in view that you don’t get enough distinctive answers in the world of buying and selling in case your first trading account is not up to or equal to one thousand dollars then the very fine exchange measurement that you should use to begin with is zero.01 or a micro lot in fact your foreign exchange vendor may open an account for you referred to as a micro account where a micro alternate measurement is the starter alternate measurement if your account is between 5,000 and 10,000 and you know that is a range i know there is numbers missing in between here your nice alternate measurement is frequently zero.1 or a mini lot to begin with as a discretionary trader purchasing and promoting pushing buttons and whatnot in case your account is really over 20,000 then you could possibly trade five mini lots might be one normal lot might be for $10 a pip if you’re feeling fairly positive and you are feeling fairly just right in different phrases the very first-rate alternate measurement is small peculiarly to begin with now it does not imply it’s small perpetually once I first began trading the smallest exchange measurement you would exchange was once a common lot so I was coaching for $10 a pip on my first $1,000 account and i swiftly blew up my first buying and selling account when you consider that my trade size used to be so big why do I say that your trade size must stay small at least and notably at the beginning well let’s take for illustration I don’t know if that is up but yeah this is up so let’s take for example a one lot exchange dimension on the U.S. Dollar japanese yen and so we just purchased a one lot trade measurement on the united states greenback eastern yen and let’s consider we have a thousand dollar buying and selling account so if we’ve got a thousand dollars in our buying and selling account and the united states buck eastern yen strikes as it does one hundred pips in in the future and let’s consider that those a hundred pips move in opposition to us that’s no longer a alternate in our favor in the event you multiply that times $10 a pip for a typical lot you have just blown up your buying and selling account your thousand greenbacks is long gone actually your broker will close your trading account down even before that quantity is reached and also you could say good oh i’m no longer gonna let it go 100 pips in opposition to me and whatnot no you in general won’t more often than not but all it takes is a one second move right after an monetary information report and immediately your account is long past probably you may have a two thousand dollar account and instantly you’re down a thousand greenbacks and you may have lost 50 percentage i know that you could i know you believe me after I say that is what happens at all times to just about every new trader that starts new traders don’t seem to be unhealthy merchants honestly in fact most new

The five members of LUXE worked hard for their first comeback and proved they were not impacted by their old members' departures. However, as the second week of promotion starts without sight of a first win, Royal quickly starts their second round of plans. As good as their sales were, it could always be better.

On March 4th, exactly a week and a day after LUXE’s first comeback, they’re notified by their manager that there’s been a change of plans to their schedules. The news is delivered during lunch break after their 11AM camera rehearsal, and soon after they’re done, the members return to the Royal building. Once they arrive, Yoo Jaekyung is there to greet them.

“Hello.” She waits for the girls to get themselves comfortable on the practice room sofa before she continues to speak. “Your comeback results have been better than expected after all that drama, but we’d like to capitalize more on it. We’ve been working on this album for long now, after all, and we wouldn’t want it to go to waste. That’s why we’ll be using one of your B-sides as a follow-up song. This means you’ll keep promoting the same album, but with a new title song. Of course, you’ll conclude your ‘Confused’ promotions as planned, and then we’ll jump into the next promotions soon after.”

From this point on, LUXE will promote their current title song while preparing for their next at the same time. With the help of Jaekyung, the members will learn the choreography for ‘Every Night’, one of the B-sides of their mini-album ‘Fantasy’, so that it may be properly promoted on music shows. For this to happen, their updated schedule will look like this:

06:20AM: at broadcasting station: basic first rehearsal on stage; no makeup, casual clothes.

06:45AM: get basic makeup and hair done.

07:45AM: eat breakfast, nap in dressing room/space.

09:00AM: dress rehearsal on stage; stage outfits, makeup on.

09:20AM: return to dressing room/space: rest, eat, nap, practice.

11:00AM: final camera rehearsal on stage; stage outfits, makeup on.

11:15AM: lunch break

12:00PM: return to royal building: practicing for every night

04:00PM: head to salon: get makeup and hair done.

05:00PM: return to broadcast station: preparations to go on stage; outfits, warming up

07:00PM: live broadcast; when not performing, must stay in dressing room/space until the ending stage of the show.

08:00PM: line up in waiting room area to formally greet producers, director, and senior staff.

09:00PM: meeting time with fans who attended the recordings.

10:00PM: return to dressing rooms to clean up, change back into casual clothes.

11:00PM: arrive back at dorms.

On March 11th, their supposed free day, the members of LUXE will actually head towards a special photoshoot and interview. The girls will arrive at an indoor set with only a solid background, but what’s truly important is who’ll be their companions for this shoot. LUXE will promote a dog shelter campaign to help with adoptions, and to do so, each girl will pose with a different dog brought from the partnered shelter. The interview will involve personal questions about pets and dogs, but also about their career. The girls are advised to say they are preparing for a follow-up song since the article will only go out a couple of weeks later along with the finalized photographs.

With their last ‘Confused’ stage being on the 16th, and the girl’s intense hard work, Jaekyung promises to take them out for dinner with her usual serious expression — but only if they get their first win. It should serve as motivation, and having a feast before their music video filming probably wouldn’t be too great of an idea.

To promote their new title song properly, the girls of LUXE will start filming for their ‘Every Night’ music video on the 18th of March, following the schedule seen below. For reference: Cheri will play Solji; Zoe will play Jeonghwa; Ella will play Hyerin; Yena will play Hani; Xayah will play LE.

DAY ZERO — MARCH 17TH

9AM: Wardrobe fittings at the Royal building.

DAY ONE — MARCH 18TH

4:30PM: Thank staff and prepare for leaving.

5:30PM: Arrive at dorms; rest.

All throughout the filming process, staff members will be recording the girls backstage. They are free to interact with it however they’d like while the staff may also ask them some questions to help the girls ease up with the camera. These scenes will be later compiled and edited to be uploaded to a sub-channel under Royal named after LUXE with each episode carrying the name of ‘LUXE TV’. These will be inspired by TWICE TV, which you can watch here, and will continue to be recorded throughout their promotion periods or for special events.

The LUXE girls will have the rest of the 19th to rest but are expected to follow their regular training on the next day. The members will go to a photoshoot location on March 21st to get their teaser pictures taken. This will be faster than a photoshoot for their album, which means the rest of their day will be used, once again, for practicing.

On March 24th, the girls will go to their usual hair salon to touch up on colors and length, except for Xayah who will change her hair color to red. She will not be allowed to post on social media or go out with her hair visible, so the first time the public will get to see it will be on their first follow-up stage. The music video will come out on March 28th, and the first stage will be on the 29th for Music Bank.

Before their stage, all of the members of LUXE will take part in a short interview for Music Bank with the member Cheri acting as a special MC (video reference here) along with Dowon from the boy group ME8 (an IC stand-in for Rowoon from SF9). Xayah will prepare a poem using the syllables of ‘LUXE’, and Yena will be in charge of introducing their newest title track, ‘Every Night’. In the end, Cheri, Ella, and Zoe will ask for the audience to look forward to their performance, in order.

The following is the music show promotion schedule for Luxe’s ‘Every Night’ activities:

3/29, 4/05, 4/12: KBS Music Bank

3/30, 4/06, 4/13: MBC Music Core

3/31, 4/07, 4/14: SBS Inkigayo

4/01, 4/08: Arirang Simply K-pop

4/02, 4/09, 4/16: MTV The Show

4/03, 4/10, 4/17: MBC Show Champion

4/04, 4/11, 4/18: Mnet M!Countdown

You will gain +5 POINTS TO DISTRIBUTE AS YOU WISH, +3 DEBUT POINTS and +2 ACHIEVEMENTS for completing the written requirements explained on the idol tier page. As this is a song promotion month, one of your chosen achievements must be relevant to the above schedule and all required content should be written about activities listed on the above schedule for the month of March. Posting about April activities will not account for March points (more information for their April promotions will come on their April schedule). There is a capped maximum of five solos, sets of starters and/or partnered threads you may write to collect this month’s points.

Any SP points earned can be collected as soon as you finish the requirement for them.

‘After keeping all plans of their first comeback aside, Royal has finally decided to move things along. Luxe’s performances on the Samsung New Year Special brought them a lot of attention and most certainly gave them a lot of buzz. Positive or negative, every new comment under their performance videos only made them rise on the pages of famous websites and search engines. Using this to their advantage wouldn’t be too hard.

Their first comeback also means their first release as a 5-member group. Im Nayoung’s official stage name was officially confirmed to be ‘Zoe’ through an official statement by a Royal representative only a week ago. Together with the other 4 original members, the group will make their comeback with their mini-album ‘Fantasy’ on February 24th. This means there are a lot of things to get done and the girls should put their all into it.

The practice schedule will be completely focused on the final preparations for the album. Dance practice will start right away and be the biggest focus for the members. If they don’t have anything more important to do then they should probably be learning the choreography which will be thoroughly taught by Yoo Jaekyung and her fellow dancers. The songs that were given three months to learn should all be recorded on February 8th. Members will go into the studio in order of age to record their parts. When they aren’t recording, members are expected to be practicing.

As a solo schedule, Cheri will take part of the recording for ‘My Love From Another Star’ from February 2nd. She will be expected on set for 9 hours (7 to 4pm) to get her makeup and wardrobe done in the morning. Filming for her day scene will last from 10am to 3pm. After filming for the scene concludes, she will get cleaned up, return her costumes, and return to her idol schedules. The script for this scene will be mailed to her one week prior to filming. She will also get one hour of rehearsal with the lead actor before official filming starts.

To match with their concept, members will have to change their hairstyles according to the company’s orders. Those whose current hairstyle doesn’t match the one seen below will go together to the same salon on February 10th to get their hair done for their comeback.

Cheri - Long, straight, black (reference)

Yena - Long, wavy, blonde (reference)

Ella - Long, straight, black (reference)

Xayah - Long, straight, brown (reference)

Zoe - Long, wavy, black (reference)

On February 13th, a photo shoot will occur in a small set in the Gangnam district for both the photobook that’ll come along with the CD as well as the photocards. There will be two different sessions: one for the pure side of the album and another following their sexy concept. The photocards will follow the same pattern (use this photocard as an example and a darker version of it for its counterpart). When they aren’t being photographed, members are allowed to practice in a spot of the set that doesn’t get in the way of the staff or in the changing room. They won’t be explicitly told to do so and they should also avoid getting sweaty or ruining their makeup.

Finally, the music video for their title song will be filmed on February 15th and February 16th. A full film crew is provided by Royal, including camera staff, wardrobe and makeup/hair staff, lighting staff, catering crew, and a director. You may, at any time, ask for guidance from any of these members of the production. On the 15th, the first section of the where they pose in white (0:00-0:16) and dance scenes in the white outfits (as seen in 0:56 and 2:33) will be recorded. On the 16th, scenes with the light background (as seen in 0:19 and 0:28) and the brick wall (as seen in 1:42 and 3:17) will be recorded.

As the first variety appearance with the full group, Luxe will record an episode of Weekly Idol on February 18th. This will follow the events from TWICE’s part in Episode 228 which can be seen here. All mentions of debut should be changed to it being their first comeback, and any quotes and the performance of ‘Like Ooh-Ahh’ should be changed to ‘Confused’. Any other changes should be made accordingly (such as their personal introductions and showcased talents) to fit in with Luxe members. Luxe’s appearance will only be enough for half an episode, and the other half will be filmed by a different group. It should be also taken into account that the MCs will be the current ones: Lee Manseok, Shin Beomsu, and Ryu Seojun as the IC equivalents of Nam Changhie, Jo Seho, and Hwang Kwanghee. This episode will air on a Wednesday, February 27th.

On the very same day of the recording, February 18th, the first teaser will be released for their comeback on Luxe’s official social media.

As a special surprise to the fans and a tease on itself, all 5 members will come together to hold a Vlive in their dorm on February 19th. They are instructed not to spoil anything regarding their new album and help Zoe get used to how it works. Apart from that, the members are free to interact with the viewers however they’d like as long as they keep up with their image.

No matter how busy their month will be, nothing will beat February 24th. Luxe will have their debut stage on the same date as their album release on Inkigayo. They’ll get there a 6:30am as usual, but instead of staying until late for a live performance, they’ll pre-record it at 9:00am instead of having a rehearsal. The members will then prepare themselves for their showcase which will start at 6PM, the same time as the album release. Fans present will get to watch the MV for the first time in the audience, followed by a live performance of ‘Confused’. The MC this time will be the well-known Lee Jonghyuk. During the showcase, Luxe will also perform their debut song ‘I Feel Good’, ‘Luv Me’ and ‘Under The Street Lights’. The time in-between will involve the members explaining their title track and album as well as their concept, a profile introduction of each member, and then the showcase will end with a second performance of ‘Confused’.

The following is the music show promotion schedule for Luxe’s ‘Confused’ activities:

2/24, 3/03, 3/10: SBS Inkigayo

2/25, 3/04: Arirang Simply K-pop

2/26, 3/05, 3/12: MTV The Show

2/27, 3/06, 3/13: MBC Show Champion

2/28, 3/07, 3/14: Mnet M!Countdown

On February 28th, Luxe will record their dance relay for ‘Confused’ to be uploaded on the same day during their time waiting for M!Countdown (you can use this to see how it works).

Music show promotions will last for a total of three weeks this time. Programs will begin pre-recording early in the morning and groups are expected to stay at the broadcasting station until the live broadcast takes place later in the day. Although music shows in real life follow varied recording schedules, for IC writing purposes, the schedule for every music show will follow this consistent pattern (except for February 24th):

06:20AM: at broadcasting station: basic first rehearsal on stage; no makeup, casual clothes.

06:45AM: head to salon: get makeup and hair done.

07:45AM: return to broadcasting station: eat breakfast, nap in dressing room/space.

09:00AM: dress rehearsal on stage; stage outfits, makeup on.

09:20AM: return to dressing room/space: rest, eat, nap.

11:00AM: final camera rehearsal on stage; stage outfits, makeup on.

11:15AM: greet senior artist groups at their respective dressing room/spaces, accompanied by a manager. you may not sleep during this time, up until the live broadcast.

07:00PM: live broadcast; when not performing, must stay in dressing room/space until the ending stage of the show.

08:00PM: line up in waiting room area to formally greet producers, director, and senior staff.

09:00PM: meeting time with fans who attended the recordings.

You will gain +5 POINTS TO DISTRIBUTE AS YOU WISH, +3 DEBUT POINTS and +2 ACHIEVEMENTS for completing the written requirements explained on the idol tier page. As this is a song promotion month, one of your chosen achievements must be relevant to the above schedule and all required content should be written about activities listed on the above schedule for the month of February. Posting about March activities will not account for February points (more information for their March promotions will come on their March schedule). There is a capped maximum of five solos, sets of starters and/or partnered threads you may write to collect this month’s points.

To clarify, the only form that needs to be submitted at the end of the month is a verification form for your debut points and achievements. Any SP points earned can be collected as soon as you finish the requirement for them. At the end of the month, as you did with your previous evaluation forms, you will submit the following form to the Points Verification blog:
