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. ]

Depends if everyone else did.

You're tellin' me I gotta wait for everyone?! What a pain in the ass.

...so what's the deal with these "Lives" anyway? Whadda we gotta do?

[worldcup]

...Unfortunately.

Hm -- [ takes out her phone and looks through it ] They're basically performances. We have "trial", "judgement", and "execution" as our Live options.

[creativethots]

Wh-- AGAIN?!

[This continues to be the worst experience of deja vu ever.]

N-now I know this stupid game is fucking with me. It's just like before...

[Don't mind her, she's just trying to figure it out.]

B-but then why aren't the others here? Not even the others who got murdered... what the fuck is going on here?

[worldcup]

...? Is something wrong? It's just performances.

[creativethots]

........wait. You mean. As in it's all fake? Like some weak-ass courtroom drama tv show?!

[worldcup]

Sooomething like that... although I guess some people could actually do it for real and it'd still count.

[creativethots]

What the--

...so in order to "win" I have to relive those shitty fucking things all over again? This is...

[She holds her head in her hands, shaking.]

...Being dead might be better.

[worldcup]

You don't have to if you don't want to.

I'll carry everyone if I have to do it myself.

[creativethots]

[......................]

Wh-why in the hell would you do that? What reason do you have to go that far?

[worldcup]

I want to win, you see? And I'm good at doing that.

[creativethots]

...jeez.

[......................]

Listen, if it's fake then fine. But the minute someone winds up dead, I'm outta there.

[worldcup]

... Someone's going to wind up dead sooner or later.

[ She knows what the games are like. ]

It's going to be hard to avoid. Even though they can be revived.

[creativethots]

If everyone thinks they can just come back then who the hell's even gonna care?!

I give it a week, tops, before everyone's stir crazy and ready to start killing each other.

[worldcup]

People have been here a long time and haven't been willing to kill each other. I've been here a while and have never killed anyone.

[creativethots]

G-good. Let's keep it that way. I can't take another dead body...

[And definitely not her own.]

...but waddaya mean "a long time"? Just how long is this "game" supposed to run?

[worldcup]

... I'm not sure anymore. It's easy to lose track of the days.

[ But it was a while. ]

Who knows, this time. Well. We're only here temporarily, anyway.
