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. ]

[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.

[byallmeans]

You'd better get changed first.

[With a pointed look at her pajamas]

[ibedeadpeople]

[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?

[byallmeans]

I'll meet you back here.

[Turning to go get changed, too]

[ibedeadpeople]

[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]

[byallmeans]

[He's back before too long, in this. He's done a surprisingly decent job of putting it together, even]

[ibedeadpeople]

So handsome.

[She straightens the tie on his obi, quick and efficient]

[byallmeans]

It's not yellow cargo shorts. I'll take it.

[ibedeadpeople]

Your sleeves are still pockets! Just more stylish ones.

[byallmeans]

Plenty would probably fit in them.

[ibedeadpeople]

Yes. ...Though if there's too much they bump around when you walk, so you might just want a bag anyway. Depends on what you want to carry.

[byallmeans]

Depends on what I need.

[Considers]

A bag might be better.

[ibedeadpeople]

You can have both. --You could get those pretty little lacquered box things! That would match the kimono and all.

[byallmeans]

Does it really matter if it matches the kimono?

[ibedeadpeople]

Clothes make the man, after all.

[byallmeans]

I'm not paying extra for add-ons.

[ibedeadpeople]

What else are you gonna do with the points? They still count for winning, whether you spend them or not. So you may as well get something fancy!

[byallmeans]

I'm getting the rest of my abilities.

[ibedeadpeople]

Like. Your magic?

[byallmeans]

That's not available, apparently.

[ibedeadpeople]

Then, what?

[byallmeans]

The other team abilities on offer.

[ibedeadpeople]

...Is that in there, too? The site is kind of hard to navigate...

[life is tough with a galapagos phone]

Does it say how to use them? Normal--doesn't work.

[byallmeans]

It does.

[Holds a hand out for her phone]
