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. ]

Do you want to leave?

[daios]

[The good old interrupting husband trick.]

If my flower wanted to leave, he's had a night to do so. I do not keep him in chains, Seto.

If you want someone lovely like him to 'leave' with, you may kindly find your own.

[soakedinsin]

I wasn't asking you, Hades.

[daios]

I was answering.

[He wraps his arm around Persephone, pulling him close.]

[soakedinsin]

[Going to look directly at Persephone to try to gauge how the hell he feels about that. And ask again.]

Do you want to leave?

[forgottenmercy]

[Persephone is very good at being blank-faced, but he is absolutely just staring at his folded hands in his lap.

which honestly probably says volumes.]

[soakedinsin]

[Right. Hells what a headache.]

[soakedinsin]

Oi. Hades. We need to talk.

[daios]

[The marking on his forehead glows gold.]

We are talking.

[soakedinsin]

Yeah, are we? Are you listening? Because he clearly doesn't want to be here so why the hell are you keeping him?

[daios]

Because he is mine to keep.

[soakedinsin]

Do I really have to spell out people aren't objects?

[daios]

You can spell whatever you'd like. He's mine, and I will not release him.

[soakedinsin]

Let's take this outside.

[daios]

[You know what? Alright. Hiroto will stand up, pulling the naginata out and flicking it open.]

.... Kaede. Come along.

[He will not allow Persephone to stay here. Not with his unitmates, who have his teleportation power as well. And he should watch, shouldn't he?

Even if he doesn't come of his own accord, Hiroto will grab him by the wrist and take him along.]

[soakedinsin]

Hold it. Leave him. Or can't you fight without a human shield?

[daios]

He is no shield. He's far too precious for such a use, and I will not leave him behind.

I give you my word; defeat me and he goes free, unharmed, and I will not pursue him for 24 hours.

[He would hate it, but the truth is that he's fairly confident that he can win.]

[soakedinsin]

Oh for fuck's sake. People aren't objects to fight over! I just want up punch you for being an asshole. What kind of logic are you running on to bargain someone's godsdamned agency?!

[daios]

His agency was given to me when we wed. I am under no obligation to let him go anywhere without my supervision. My offer is generous to the both of you.

[soakedinsin]

I don't know how things work where you're from but that entitled lordling bullshit isn't going to cut it here.

[daios]

[Hiroto helps Persephone settle against a wall once they are outside, then turning to face Ardbert... and immediately activating his Myriad Gods, transforming himself into a glowing gold oni, standing 9'7.5".]

Then change my mind.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[Crow is staying WELL out of the way and out of sight but is also definitely watching this all go down. Especially interested in Hiroto's powers and any limits it might have.]

[forgottenmercy]

[...that's his name? there's an echo of something discordant, like physical pain, when Hiroto says it, and that is definitely a pained little gasp and shiver.

at least it's not Resonance, because the Neverborn can't reach him here, but also.]

[daios]

[As long as it isn't exploding in Hiroto's face, that's good. The noise does draw Hiroto's eyes, though.]

Stay against the wall, love.

You may sit or lie down if it pleases you.

[forgottenmercy]

[just he's going to sit against the wall and watch this then.]
