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. ]

[ it's virtually impossible to read her expression through her mask and face covering, but if you look really closely through the eye holes you can maybe make out a bit of how her eyes go wide, and the outermost rims of her otherwise blue irises change from a vivid red to an emerald green. she talks with a measured, wellbred intonation, all courtesy with little emotion given away ]

Yes, I will be in your care. I look forward to working with one another.

[miirai]

Mii! That's the spirit.

[ Is it really, though? ]

What's your name?

[ Doesn't even introduce herself in spite of her chipper, yet polite demeanor. ]

[emptymind]

My previous names are no longer appropriate. Please address me however you like.

[miirai]

That's troublesome... I'm not really good at coming up with names.

[emptymind]

[ the rings of her eyes flicker black through the eye holes, and she sounds just a bit troubled ]

Is that so... Please accept my apologies. Then, you may address me by the name listed on my profile.

[miirai]

...

[ checks the profile... ]

Kemono? That seems rather rude, but if you don't mind it...

[emptymind]

... Although I cannot speak for their intent with certainty, I suspect it is meant to be read 'kedamono.' But, either one is fine.

[miirai]

That reading is also pretty mean... but I suppose that's fine.

[emptymind]

[ it's PROBABLY WORSE ]

How would you prefer that I address you in return?

[miirai]

...

[ she opens her mouth, closes it, and then-- ]

Bernkastel. It's the same name as my profile.

[emptymind]

Let's get along, Bernkastel.

[miirai]

Yes, same here.

[ she nods, bowing from the waist ]

[emptymind]

[ bows in return ]

What sort of live is Bernkastel considering conducting upon our release?

[miirai]

Mii.

I'm the reincarnation of a kami, so I want to do a Live where people give me a small amount of points as an offering in return for a proper blessing.

[emptymind]

Is that so? I will have to conduct my own live beforehand, so that I will have points to offer as well.

[miirai]

Yes. I thought that a good option to get points is to do a little performance of sorts, and if people give a small amount of points, that will rack up for us.

[emptymind]

It's very resourceful. I'm encouraged to share this unit with such capable people.

[miirai]

Mii! I'm just glad that the unit I was placed on suits me very well, and that everyone seems to be rather nice so far.

[ "So far."

This can absolutely change. ]

[emptymind]

[ dips her head a little, the mask pretty much covering her eyes like this ]

I agree. It is fortunate to be placed in a suitable group.

[miirai]

I'm glad you feel that way. We'll be doing our best, naturally.

[emptymind]

Yes, of course.
