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. ]

[ Dog: arrive.

It's kind of hard to tell if this person's horns and ears and tail are all natural or not, though; and the red tiger stripes over their skin is only visible under their sleep yukata because, frankly, she doesn't seem to be very inclined to keep it tied more tightly.

... she actually freezes though, awkward, once she realizes just how many people are ALSO in the dorm. ]

[A pretty normal looking guy, except for his sallow, sickly complexion.]

Eyyyy, look who finally woke up.

[caniscorde]

...

You are?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

You can call me Cool Motive, Still Murder.

[caniscorde]

That is two phrases.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

You can leave out the pause if you really have to. Cool Motive Still Murder?

[caniscorde]

...

A nickname for brevity, perhaps, in a situation where less words are needed.

[This boy looks about eleven, and is painfully thin. He's also gotten dressed already, so he's in this by now instead of his PJs]

[He glances her way to look her over]

[caniscorde]

[ featured: Huge. Beefy. Looks pissed off no matter what angle you view her from.

Staring at him, frown deepening. ]

[byallmeans]

You just woke up?

[caniscorde]

...

Yes. I was not aware there would be children here.

[byallmeans]

It's not as though there's an 18-and-over-only rule for death.

[caniscorde]

No.

A terrible thing.

[emptymind]

Hello.

[caniscorde]

[ finally someone who greets people normally.

briefly nods. ]

... hello. You are?

[emptymind]

[ the normalcy ends now ]

My previous names are no longer appropriate. You may call me however you like. The name provided on my profile is 'kedamono,' if you would care to use it.

[caniscorde]

[ you say that but.

Her expression perks a bit, with interest. ]

I see. You are also an Eidolon.

What is "Kedamono"? It is not familiar to me.

[emptymind]

A beast. 'Eidolon' is unfamiliar to me, in turn.

[caniscorde]

[ frowns, lightly. ]

Beast... no, I don't think so.

[ pauses, briefly. ]

The Eidola are those who have been cast out. Those whose previous selves are dead, or have been killed. Ones who can no longer claim what they were.

I am the Eidolon. If such a thing suits the path you have taken or been forced upon, so are you. But it is not a name, only a descriptor.

...

I, too, am without a name.

[A small girl (regardless of animu proportions she is 5'1") waves, friendly]

Hello! If you want clothes you gotta use the TV!

[caniscorde]

[ smol... ]

... I will. Thank you.

[ going to do that now ]

[ibedeadpeople]

[She follows, nosy]

What color are you going to pick? Do you know?

[she has apparently picked bright pink despite me finally having shooped it out of her icons, alas]

[caniscorde]

[ picks a green similar to her hair. ]

This one.

[ibedeadpeople]

That one's nice! I guess green is really your power color!

[caniscorde]

My power color, you say...
