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. ]

You've just met me.

[caniscorde]

Yes.

[byallmeans]

You can't be fond of someone you just met.

[caniscorde]

I'm sorry to prove you wrong so swiftly and thoroughly, little one.

[byallmeans]

There's hardly proof, is there?

[caniscorde]

It may come as a surprise to you, but others have their own private feelings you are unable to see or feel.

[byallmeans]

It may come as a surprise to you, but people lie about them.

[caniscorde]

I have no use for lies.

[byallmeans]

I've known many liars who said the same.

[caniscorde]

I will not try to convince you. Believe what you like.

[byallmeans]

I always do.

[caniscorde]

Try not to be blinded by your own stubborn nature. A horse who does not swing his head will always miss in front of his nose.

[byallmeans]

And the one that lets itself be led blindly becomes glue.

[caniscorde]

[ a long pause ]






Glue?

[byallmeans]

Glue.

Old and useless horses are carted off to a factory to be butchered and processed to create an adhesive substance.

[caniscorde]

[ ... what the fuck ]

No, not where I am from.

[byallmeans]

Then you'll have to take my word for it.

[caniscorde]

I have a hard time believing you are old or useless, in any case.

[byallmeans]

I'm neither.

It's a metaphor.
