idolpro | 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. ]

What does that do again...?

[As though reading from a textbookL]

"While stationary, the user is granted invisibility/intangibility/unhearability against those who do not know or call the user's true name."

That sounds like an amazing ability! Then you could go anywhere!

It would be useful for spying.

And hiding. What are your other abilities? Have you tried them yet?

I haven't.

Have you?

Not yet, though I saw I have some. Why don't we try them out so we get used to them?

I intend to.

Apparently I can cast spells - oh! But I need paper! Let's go find some. ♥

...there should be some around here.

[Turning to fall in beside her]

If I understand it correctly, if I write something down it... happens?

[Searches the room! They have some, right? ?? Probably? idk what dorms have.]

...here.

[Selecting some paper from near a shrine]

Thank you, Kozuru.

[Pen too.]

Here we go! Now, let's see, what to write...

[Taking a sheet of his own, and a pen, and considering]

[Taps the pen against her upper lip]

Should I write something for you...? I could write "happy" and stick it on you, I think it might work like that.

Don't even dare.

Haah, fine, fine! Maybe I'll try something on the floor.

[She writes "garden" on the slip of paper and sticks it to the ground.

Green starts to appear around them like a low-level carpet. It's the most random "garden" of tiny sprouting flowers, leafy bushes, and vegetables.]

It worked?

Why wouldn't it?

[Considers, and then plucks one of the vegetables]

I wasn't sure if it was too vague.

[She seems pleased. Juri reaches down and plucks a flower, too, but when they disconnect with the floor both the vegetable and flower disappear.]

[...oh]

There are limitations, then.

I think it'll all disappear once I remove the paper, but we can enjoy it for now.

[Sits down on the greenery and runs her hands over the leaves.]

[Hesitates, and then sits beside her. His fingers trace a blade of grass]

[It's cool and bows to his touch.]

Where I lived in my world, it's cold for most of the year. I love when the spring comes with the rain and when everything grows again.

Where I've been living... nothing grows.

Almost nothing, anyway.

Ah...? Really?

[go on]
