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. ]

In what way is it a bad alliance? If we can extract a guarantee that at least one other team won't target us, we should take it.

We will get dogpiled if we go in without any plan. We probably will anyway, given how many other teams there are. The more we can do to mitigate that, the better off we'll be.

If they stab us in the back, we'll deal with them afterward, but they're our best option so far. We have two separate connections to them, and they were receptive to the initial offer.

It is bad when we do not have any leverage. We would have no reason to target them specifically, so why would they care about us specifically not targeting them? Spoken word, especially relayed by another, is hardly a guarantee.

Our leverage is that we will guarantee not to remove limbs or kill them when we have the opportunity. Most reasonable people want to avoid taking serious damage when possible.

We have not one connection to their team, but two. We would be fools not to exploit the chance.

If we broker an alliance and it falls through, we lose nothing. If we broker one and it succeeds, it allows us to step into a game with an advantage over the competition. We have nothing to lose here, but everything to gain.

I have spoken with our Kedamono on it, and am willing to give this alliance a chance, if and only if we agree to total non-aggression. Not in games, not out of them.

I have been engaged in combat with two people already, of whom I know neither, and one of which seemed to be trying to hint at knowing something that I do not. I do not want any more surprises devolving into fights with strangers, but I cannot know what or who will find enough problem with me to fight with me next.

I'd just as soon head it off at the pass. No fighting on my end, none on theirs.

I'm not entirely sure. He seemed to have some kind of problem with me before we spoke, and did not get an answer when I asked what the problem was.

[That was probably not a fight that needed to happen but look.]

[Gods he hates searching through profiles! This one takes even longer to find.]

It was this young man.

I would like to understand whatever made them attack me. You need not follow up on this information, but to note that I have been hunted down before, both in this world and the last, and would like that if we are to have an alliance, those who would hunt me stay their hands until the alliance is no longer necessary.

It's a reasonable request.

I would of course offer the same. My weapon remains sheathed to any unit who would ally with us.

I'll make no trouble for them.
