10IV start!

[idolpro]

Who: 10IV
Where: The 10IV 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. Or assign them to each other, really, no one's stopping you.

Once you've chosen your color (or, once it's chosen for you), your closets will unlock with 3 sets of hospital uniforms fitted exactly to your size.

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. ]

[ rubbing her eyes from sleep and looking faintly concerned, but she puts in a very specific color anyway.

also for some reason there's a bunch of like, black crystal visible growing through the skin around her right wrist? probably fine tho ]

Ah—I'm not...

[agentgymstudent]

You're not what?

[Weird crystals....]

[proceedwithcautus]

[ weird crystals and also: bunny ears ]

Oh! Sorry, I was just talking to myself a little bit, but—

I have a medical condition, so I was surprised it's better than it was.

[agentgymstudent]

[Thay is also A Thing.]

[Which should be weird.]

[But isn't.]

[Hum.]

I mean, if this all is to be believed, we died. They probably wanted you functional.

[proceedwithcautus]

That does make a certain amount of sense...

Though—

[ she looks at her hands, frowning. ]

—ah, I don't remember a lot of things, but I do remember this: if I die, my body needs to be destroyed as soon as possible.

[agentgymstudent]

Why is that?

[onemoreknight]

—Miss Amiya!

[proceedwithcautus]

Ah—!

...you mean me?

[onemoreknight]

Yes, I mean you! Are there other Cautus named Amiya around here? Haha! You know, I didn't really expect you of all people to participate in a competition like this!

[proceedwithcautus]

Um, Miss, I'm very sorry, but—I seem to be having some difficulty... remembering... where we know each other from?

[onemoreknight]

Oh, that makes sense! I'm pretty new, and you were busy when I joined on...I'm Maria Nearl, codename Blemishine of Rhodes Island...

[ she pauses for a second and takes out her phone. ]

But I guess here I'm Ten Scandalous Facts About The Radiant Knight (Number One Will Surprise You!) (You Won't Believe What Happens Next!) of 10IV? That's kind of a mouthful, huh...

[tormado]

Hey. Cool ears.

[Beat.]

Cool crystals too.

[proceedwithcautus]

Um—well, thank you, sir...

[ the hair says liberi but the mention of the ears is ???? ]

Ah, just as word of warning, I think I should advise you against touching any of the crystal.

[tormado]

Oh.

Is it like. Some kinda curse thing?

[proceedwithcautus]

Oh, nothing fantastical like that. It's an illness. I just wouldn't want anyone else to catch it.

[tormado]

You got an illness that makes y'grow crystals?

[youarewhateatsyou]

[hello you wanted a feathery dragon centaur woman peering at you with concern right? right you definitely did]

[proceedwithcautus]

Ah—Miss, is everything all right?

[ just like. an extra-furry-tier vouivre? seems reasonable ]

[youarewhateatsyou]

Umm...

[taps something on her phone, then holds it out to show text in the notepad app]

I'm fine. What about you?

[proceedwithcautus]

Oh, I'm better than I expected, actually, if a little bit, mm... concerned, I guess.

Ah, I'm told my name is Amiya, since I have a colleague here who remembers me. Is there something I should call you?

[youarewhateatsyou]

[oh

considers this for a moment]

I don't remember my name. The one on my profile isn't very nice, either.

[nothingtomourn]

[It feels like someone's watching you...]

[proceedwithcautus]

[ eartwitch—

whomst... ]

[nothingtomourn]

[Whomst!!]

[proceedwithcautus]

Ah—

[ gently: ]

...is everything all right?
