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. ]

ALLIANCE DISCUSS MEETING
she's still dressed in the same outfit before, and still has the dog mask and mouth covering on fully, tilting her concealed face this way and that to count heads for a bit ]
Is everyone here? Good. Thank you for your hard work today, and for answering my message.
An alliance between our own unit and my previous unit, avante en garde, has been proposed. I have called you all here to ask what conditions and requests we may hope to gain from the arrangement, and also what we are willing and unwilling to offer in return. They require all of us to be in agreement with this alliance, so if anyone refuses to comply with it, then I will tell them that it will be impossible.
Since some of you are unfamiliar with our surroundings, if you will graciously grant me a bit of your time, I will attempt to briefly explain what sorts of benefits and drawbacks there may be.
In this place, there are events called 'games,' which will be key to determining whether we are victorious over the other temporary units and granted our rewards. Some of them are innocuous, like word games, but others will most likely be violent, and may inflict emotional or mental effects upon us. When these dangerous games occur, units are typically pit against each other; the damage that we suffer will be determined by the decisions of other units, and we will be made to decide on other's fates as well. In this sort of arrangement, it is sometimes possible for us to choose which units to inflict such damages against; therefore, with an agreement such as this alliance, it is possible to guarantee that one unit will not harm us, and we will not harm them in turn. The most basic proposed form of this alliance is 'not to target each other with physical attacks.'
From my relationships to them, I am aware that several members of avante en garde would prefer physical injury over foreign influence on their minds. It has not been specifically requested of us as of yet, but I would prefer to avoid targeting them with such attacks as well, if we are able. If there is anyone who is particularly susceptible or concerned about mental effects among us, then we may request the same of them in turn.
Outside of games, it may be possible to request their cooperation in lives for an additional increase to our overall point accumulation. For innocuous games as well, since there are often multiple winners, we could potentially arrange to cooperate with them for a shared victory whenever the rules allow. However, point accumulation and winning bloodless games are lower priorities for them, so we may be expected to offer something else in return if we place too much emphasis on these requests.
Occasionally, there are also games involving social or physical intimacy. The majority of avante en garde are a relatively reserved group of people in this regard, so these considerations may be unnecessary, but please speak openly if you would like for the alliance to involve any restrictions or boundaries in this regard as well.
It is my own opinion that a simpler alliance without too many conditions would be easier to uphold for both of us in the face of any unexpected complications. However, since all of us must agree to the terms, please speak freely about any thoughts you have on the matter for now.
As for myself, should they request of us to offer our favor or protection to any units aside from avante en garde, I will reject it.

Sure, fine, whatever. Unless someone's gotten a better offer?
[doubtful, but who knows?]
no subject
There were several possible conditions laid out. Do you have no preference which of them are proposed or prioritized?

Re: ALLIANCE DISCUSS MEETING
Situations like this involve long-term politics, and those living here permanently will have connections already to the other long-term teams. We'll be marked as expendable by the long-term teams because we're outsiders, and we'll be targeted by the other short-term teams because we're their direct competition.
If we want a chance at a game like that, we need an alliance. More than one, if we can manage it.
We should take the alliance with Avante en Garde, and we should expand it to include frivolous games, too, if they'll accept those terms.
Every game one of our opposing teams wins will grant 800 points per person on the team. We can't afford to give them that kind of lead.

[ At least winning against the other guest units, anyway. ]
It is very unlikely that many other units would be willing to team up with us, after all.

Re: ALLIANCE DISCUSS MEETING
We cannot look at this as only what will benefit us immediately, unless we want to be trapped in a bad deal. We need help, but we shouldn't jump at the first thing to cross our plates.

That means we need as many allies as we can get, right? That we can agree to protect, at least.
[He rubs his left arm a little idly as he talks.]
Re: ALLIANCE DISCUSS MEETING
We can't ally with every team, but the more arrangements we can make, the better off we'll be.
It will serve us better to make the agreements with the permanent teams than with our direct opponents.
