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. ]

[Going very, very still]

Did everyone else...?

After you, he attacked everybody else.

Dunno exactly how it turned out, since--well. I'm here, aren't I?

...yeah.

[A long shaky breath, and she straightens up--ruffles his hair since surely her time is up anyway]

...Well! Seems like all we have to do is win the games here and it'll all work out. So--so no problem, easy.

...it sounds like they're the same kind of games.

[Her smile only flickers a little]

Then--nothing to worry about. We already know how to play those kinds of games. And win them, too.

...right.

Less to worry about since we're on the same team this time, too.

Ashikawa...

[sorry, he gets a fresh hug for that]

[Does in fact try to side-step it this time. Guess the grace period's worn off,]

What? There was never any telling what you'd all get up to.

[He deserved that one :< She clucks her tongue but doesn't force it]

Wouldn't be your problem, would it? --But now it is, so I'll definitely help you out.

Guess we should get out of here and explore.

You'd better get changed first.

[With a pointed look at her pajamas]

[Unashamed!!!]

They're surprisingly comfortable!

[She does go on and punch in a color; no hesitation before picking a very particular bright pink]

One sec, okay?

I'll meet you back here.

[Turning to go get changed, too]

[Gives a thumbs up before trotting off]

[It doesn't take her very long to get dressed, since the outfits are a very familiar sort of complicated.

She returns to the common room fairly quickly, dressed in a short hooded cape over a white kimono and Apus-pink jacket.

Left to her own devices she'll poke at the TV water feature until she catches sight of him again]
