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. ]

Yes. Or several. The more we can get involved, the higher the payoff.

A number of smaller solo lives would also work well, as long as we all participate in each of them.

Everyone'll get notifications when there's a Live, but if we come up with some kinda schedule, we can avoid overlaps and make sure everyone can come.

A schedule might work. The last thing we want is to call a solo live and have the number of points we get back from it be less than the points earned by those attending.

[ nodding in affirmation ]

Might as well be handin' points to the competition at that point.

So we'd better be careful ho we go about it.

We can't afford to lose this.

Right.

We'd better be ready to hit the ground running, as soon as the door opens.

[A pause]

I'll go get dressed.

Alright.

[ continues to skim his phone, assuming everyone knows how to wear traditional Japanese clothing. ]

[Certainly he seems to]

[At any rate, he returns a short while later, in this. He's done a decent job, even]

Heeeh~ not bad.

I didn't exactly pick it.

Y'kinda did. Of the three options y'get.

That hardly counts.

Then, let's hope they let us outta here soon, so we can find stuff more to your likin'.

That's hardly the first priority.

Besides, if nothing else the extra fabric will be useful.

...Makeshift first aid 'n the like?

Bandages, yes.

Even if we're tryin' to avoid spendin' points... a first aid kit wouldn't be half bad to keep around.

It doesn't matter if we spend them or not. Points spent don't count against our total at the end.

[Taps at his phone screen, and turns it around to show him the line in the rules]

Then it's fine, isn't it?

It might be worth looking into, when we've earned a little bit of a cushion.

Healing and replacement limbs are a priority, if none of us have the ability... Even if there might be a unit that has that, there's no guarantee they'll take kindly to us.
