necROMANTIC start!

[idolpro]

Who: necROMANTIC
Where: The necROMANTIC dorms
When: Day 355

[ 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 fantasy medieval clothes 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. ]

[odune]

You've been here before.

[586]

I have. Twice. I was a guest star, like now, and then I actually made it onto the show. [ he drops from the ceiling and twists around like a cat to land on all four. ]

I didn't get to stay on, I'm afraid, but I guess I'm just going to have to try harder to make an impression...

[odune]

That would make you the expert.

Did you eat your fellow unitmates? You did seem to imply it before.

[586]

I suppose so.

And, no, I played nice with my teammates last time, though I'll be open and honest when I say that if I end up finding anybody particularly annoying I won't hesitate to eat you. [ shrugs, taking a seat. ] I did attack other people though, but you can blame game effects for making me no more than the animal I used to be.

[odune]

Then I suppose we are all simply whim to your delicate sensibilities.

Do we have grudges that we will need to be worried about?

[586]

No. I made a number of friends when I was here last time, so I don't think we'll have to worry... though being one of the more expendable units is something we'll have to be concerned about.

[odune]

I see.

Well, your honesty and straightforwardness in the matter has been noted.

[586]

No reason not to be and we *will* be working together after all. Hopefully they release us from these proverbial cages soon so we can see who else has been wrangled into this madness.

My name is Pentium, by the way. And you are?

[odune]

[Oh. Exchanging pleasantries.]

Reginald Hargreeves.

1/3

[586]

[ oh. ]

[586]

[ fuck. ]

[586]

Reginald...

What are your thoughts and feelings on family, because, if I'm not mistaken, a couple of your sons are here.

[odune]

[He looks him straight in the eye(s?).]

Ridiculous.

[586]

What's ridiculous?

Family or the fact that they're here?

[odune]

That they didn't learn their lesson the first time.

A friend of theirs, I presume.

[586]

And what lesson would that be?

I shared a unit with Five when I was a full time star on the production.

[odune]

Not to call me dad.

[That he gives pause for a moment.]

Did he succeed?

[586]

[ LOOKING AT THAT OTHER THREAD I GUESS NOT, WOMPWOMP. ]

I'm afraid I never took much interest in his memories, though he certainly did buy and binge plenty, so I don't have an answer for you.

Trying to keep a disconnect, I'm guessing?

[odune]

You would be incorrect. There is no reason to be distant.

[586]

So why don't you want him calling you dad?

[odune]

Because I hate children. Why would I adopt them?

1/3

[586]

[ i hate children
why would i adopt them... ]

[586]

[ adopted at least seven of them... ]

[586]

So why do you have so many kids then? Do you plan on eating them? Are you one of those?

[odune]

The only one speaking of appetite has been you.
