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. ]

[Well there's a boy with green hair and orange eyes who is a. still very much in his starter pajamas and b. very much crammed into a corner of the room, arms tight at his sides looking extremely uncomfortable and otherwise intent on being small and away from everyone else.]

[useofsorrow]

[ leaning in so she can keep her voice soft ]

Are you alright...?
It’s more than understandable to find our circumstances overwhelming.

[nothingtomourn]

[!!!

He cannot back away any further but it looks like he wishes he could!!]

...I'm fine.

[useofsorrow]

[ that facial expression is easy to read, at least; she backs up a step ]

Mm...
It's alright if you aren't, you know.

[ a faint smile, chagrined ] I don't think I'm really "fine," myself.

[nothingtomourn]

[Not being fine, sounds fake. He doesn't look comfortable, but there is a little relief that she's stepped back.]

...Well, we are dead.

[useofsorrow]

[ a pause ]



Yes. Yes, we are.
Though I had made my peace with mine.

[nothingtomourn]

...I know I did.

[useofsorrow]

Do you plan to fight for your chance to return, all the same? Or is there another you would save.

[nothingtomourn]

[Shaking his head softly at the first part.]

I can't go back. I already decided to move on.

But there's someone else I can save.

[useofsorrow]

[ She closes her eyes; nods. ]

...We are the same, in that way.

[nothingtomourn]

...I'll find a way to contribute.

[Voice still quiet, but there's an edge of determination under it.]

[agentgymstudent]

[....well.]

[He will approach slowly and kneel down beyond arm's length away.]

Hey. You okay? [Gentle.]

[nothingtomourn]

[MMMMM DON'T LIKE THAT,,]

...I'm fine.

[agentgymstudent]

Hiding in the corner says otherwise.

That's why.

The situation kind of sucks.

[nothingtomourn]

...There's a crowd. I can wait.

[agentgymstudent]

Don't do well woth crowds?

[nothingtomourn]

Not really.

[agentgymstudent]

Want me to move some of the curtains over here to give you some space? Maybe try keep the noise down?

[nothingtomourn]

[Shaking his head.]

I'll be fine. I'll wait.

[agentgymstudent]

Okay.

But if you need anything to get more comfortable, just signal me. I can see what I can do.

[nothingtomourn]

[Noncommittal noise.]

[tormado]

[He glances over at him. He doesn't get any closer, just kinda. Stays on the other side of the room while he addresses him.]

Sup?

[nothingtomourn]

[He doesn't seem to realize that this guy is like, talking to him.]

[tormado]

...

[Slowly waves to.]

[nothingtomourn]

[He's... He's not looking... Mostly on accounts of trying to shrink into the corner instead.

I'm so sorry.]
