idolpro | YOU-kai start!

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. ]

[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!

[Looking at it gets a hard stare back.]

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

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

[scrolls through the app to his profile]

Cool Motive, Still Murder!

[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.

Keeping it short and sweet, huh. Sure, sure, I can roll with that. Nice to meet you, Hades.

Just balancing yours out, it seems.

No way, there's got to be a longer one. Like, uh... Demon King Standing Alone in Cherry Blossoms! See, that's the one you need to balance out.

Indeed.

[Hiroto has almost never cared less about anything.]

... Is my exaltation going to be a problem for you? [Might as well get that out of the way.]

[listen, buddy, you're the one who brought it up]

Eh, dealing with Solars isn't my job, so I guess I can let that one go.

Here's a question, though. Is my exaltation going to be a problem for you?

[this is where his caste mark should show up and look very cool and evil, except he can't do that in Imeeji, so there's just... nothing.]

[Cuz people keep LOOKING.]

As long as our goals align, then it is of no consequence to me. Once we are where we belong, then we can slaughter each other as we are meant to.

[this is not the reaction he was hoping for!1 he pokes at this forehead a little unhappily before visibly shrugging it off]

Heh, that's the spirit! Plenty of time for all of that later, right?

[If you wanted a fight you could ask! But for the time being, Hiroto is much more concerned about getting home. Murder will have to wait.]

There will be, once we've won this devil's game. Until then, we are unfortunately to be allies.

Like I said, I've done worse. Whatever it takes to get out of here, right?

As have I...

[Not that it's anyone else's concern.]

... Correct. Once we return to life, any partnership is dissolved.

Sure, sure. Running around with Solars, not really good for my image, you know?

[Hiroto's expression hardens further, if that is possible.]

I am aware of the way Solars are viewed.

[lmao he's so easy]

Don't take it too hard, okay?

[He's very easy. It pisses him off how flippant the guy is about the thing that lead to Hiroto's greatest regrets.]

Do not tell me how to feel about my own exaltation and the way it has lead to me being hunted down like an animal.

[it's possible he may regret pissing off the enormous Dawn Caste later but on the other hand, he's having fun right now, and isn't that the most important thing?]

[in a flat tone,]

Wow. That sounds rough.

[He is. Debating not killing his allies. He will step up closer, reaching out as if to grab the guy by the shirt. Or the "shirt".]

Do not test me.

[he is grabbed! and fwips his arms out in a shrug, unconcerned]

Who's testing anything? I'm just expressing sympathy for your terrible life circumstances, like a good teammate should.

[He will be lifted up by his shirt, then!]

You are testing my patience. I am not a patient man.

No, really? I would never have guessed.

[He is so mad. He is SO mad. Where does Hiroto put his mad energy???

He will just. Toss the guy.]

Get out of my sight before I change my mind on our temporary truce.

[tossed! he catches himself on the ground and rolls back up onto his feet in one smooth motion]

Might be a little hard, since I also, you know, live here?
