YOU-kai start!

[idolpro]

Who: YOU-kai
Where: The YOU-kai dorms
When: Day 355, morning

[ You all wake up in bed with your smartphone at your bedside, all of you in your sleepwear, with a message on your phone.

Good morning, newly departed guest stars! You've got new co-stars to meet, a new dorm to explore, and the television in the main room with the "names" of everyone in your unit with flashing empty boxes next to them, waiting for you to each assign yourself a personal color as well as a mythological creature (if that is available to you—some of you will have that option grayed out). Or assign them to each other, really, no one's stopping you.

Once you've chosen your color and creature (or, once it's chosen for you), your closets will unlock with 3 sets of traditional Japanese clothing fitted exactly to your size. Additionally, upon choosing your creature, you might find yourself suddenly with some new appendages (check Player Notes).

Also, the front door is currently locked. It looks like you actually have no choice but to get to know each other for an hour or two before those open up. ]

[This tall blonde guy eventually makes his way out of his room, brows furrowed, and when he takes a hand through his hair in frustration you can see a dimly glowing golden marking on his forehead.

He's dressed in a modesty robe that's serving as his pajamas, and he's closing his eyes and taking a deep breath to calm himself, the glowing in his forehead subsiding.]

Greetings to you all.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[Also just wearing a thin robe for pajamas. He is definitely Looking (up, because he's much shorter than 6' 5") at the forehead marking.]

Well, well, well, hello to you too!

[daios]

[Looking at it gets a hard stare back.]

Shall we get introducing underway? We'll be working together for the time being.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Heh. Sure. I've done worse, probably. My name isss...

[scrolls through the app to his profile]

Cool Motive, Still Murder!

[daios]

[Well. If Enduring Lotus can be a name why not Cool Motive, Still Murder? He thinks the apostrophe is throwing him off.]

Very well. You may call me Hades for the time being.

[riffwrath]

[Looking at his forehead for a moment, her eyes narrow. Well then. She doesn't speak up, but he's likely to feel her eyes watching him. She's similarly dressed in a light robe that served as her pajamas.]

[daios]

[When he notices the attention, his hand instinctively goes for his side... where there isn't a sword. Dammmit.]

Is there something I can help you with?

[emptymind]

[ she goes off to get dressed first before really talking to anyone, and now that she's back her voice is slightly muffled by her mouth covering ]

Greetings to you as well.

[ she gives a slight bow ]

[daios]

[He seems pleased by the bow, and returns a small dip of his head.]

Someone with manners.

I would introduce myself, but it seems one of our powers relies on others not knowing our true name, so... [He squints at his profile. That's a name there, huh?]

You may call me Hades. And what may I call you?

[emptymind]

You may call me however you wish. The name provided on my own profile is 'kedamono.'

[daios]

Kedamono seems fine as a moniker. It is a pleasure to meet you, I am sure. We will be working together for the foreseeable future, so please feel free to rely on me.

[byallmeans]

[A painfully thin boy of about twelve years old in a button-up pajama set glances him over, eyes lingering on that mark]

Hello.

Have you made your selections yet?

[daios]

[Any time someone notices it, it begins to flare up again, golden light shining through his hair as his scowl intensifies.]

I have. And what more must we wait for now? I don't suppose they'll be sharing clothing soon.

[byallmeans]

It seems they will.

[Nods toward the ones who have gotten dressed already]

They've been returning to their rooms to retrieve them after they've made their choices here.

[daios]

[He regards the others curiously, nodding then.]

Well, it is hardly appropriate for me to be wearing my sleepwear out of clothing is available... I hadn't noticed, my thanks for pointing that out.

[hasavision]

[Whoa. He's clearly young and might... not have his uniform on quite right (so many things to wrap and tie....) but he does stand a little straighter, tone polite.]

...Greetings, sir.

[daios]

[His face and tone soften somewhat with a kid around, especially when he notices the way he stands up straighter and refers to him as 'sir'.]

Quite young for such a program, aren't you? Well... Do not wander far.

[hasavision]

[...Yeah, he probably does look like a regular kid now, huh?

Still standing straight, he places his left hand over his chest in a motion a little too crisp to be anything other than some sort of formal salute.]

I can handle myself, sir. You don't need to worry about me.

[daios]

I am certain you can, and you will need to. In the meantime, I will still provide what support I can.

[What kind of a man would he be if he simply let a child run around without any assistance? Well. The kind of man he is, he supposes, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't try to be better.]

[ibedeadpeople]

Hello! Are you a robot?

[daios]

... I am a man.

[What even is a robot.]

[ibedeadpeople]

Yeah, but you got a power indicator.

[She taps at her forehead, where his sun is]

Does it adjust something?

[soakedinsin]

Hey there yourself.

[daios]

We will be working together for now, it seems. I am Hades. And you are?

[soakedinsin]

[Hades. Really? He gives him a long look then shrugs and answers.]

Profile's got me called "Ghost" but Ardbert'll do just fine
