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. ]

Ooh. Allies. Not really my strong point. Maybe if you act cute we'll get some pity points?

[byallmeans]

We have better options for that.

[Tips his chin toward Wataru and the little girl]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

I dunno, you kind of have that starving waif thing going on. That's pretty good for pity points too.

[byallmeans]

It doesn't work as well as you'd think.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

No? That's too bad... Speaking from experience, are you?

[byallmeans]

Yes.

Trust me, no one cares. Even the friendly ones won't earn us pity points, when push comes to shove, if that game they mentioned is what I think it's going to be.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Heh. And what do you think the game's going to be?

[byallmeans]

Something bloody. Limb loss and death.

If we're lucky, they'll put us together again when it's over. If we're not, we'll have to make do.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Do losers normally get put back together? I guess if it's more work to keep bringing in fresh blood...

[byallmeans]

Losers get left to fend for themselves.

But I don't plan on losing.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Ain't that always the way. But hey, looks like we're on the same page there.

[byallmeans]

There isn't any other page to be on.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

That's the spirit!

[byallmeans]

...anyway. Are you ready to get moving?

We need to hit the ground running.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

You got it, chief!

...If the doors are unlocked.

[byallmeans]

We won't know when they do unlock unless we check.

[Which is to say, going to check,]
