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. ]

Bandages, yes.

[branchedout]

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

[byallmeans]

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]

[branchedout]

Then it's fine, isn't it?

[byallmeans]

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

[branchedout]

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.

[byallmeans]

Do you think healing can be purchased through the shop?

I only saw the limbs.

[branchedout]

[ checks again ]

This is the stupidest thing ever. Why have scar removal and extra limbs, but not the actual healing?

[byallmeans]

So that they can have something to dangle over our heads, most likely.

[branchedout]

Leverage. So they want us to fight each other in games, but also make nice with these guys outside of that?

[ clicks his tongue in annoyance ]

[byallmeans]

It's a balancing act.

Joke's on them, though. We're not sticking around long enough to have to play long-term politics.

[branchedout]

But because of that, they could see us as dispensable nobodies they don't have an obligation to care for.

[byallmeans]

They'll absolutely see us as dispensable nobodies they don't have an obligation to care for.

[branchedout]

I didn't think we'd have anyone to count on anyway.

[byallmeans]

No one ever does.

We'll just have to make our own way.
