sea.Di start!

[idolpro]

Who: sea.Di
Where: The sea.Di 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 beach-ready 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. ]

I couldn't agree more.

Thankfully, one of our Lives is in our wheelhouse, and there are a few potential venues we could commandeer— ah, I mean, put to use.

[tothosewhobait]

Good work.

We have our work cut out for us... But at least we have a plan of attack now. After meeting our fellow members, we can go tour the venues. I assume you have already ranked them for us?

[righteel]

Naturally.

[ Holds out his phone and zooms on the Alfred Tea Room on the map ]

I would imagine this establishment already has the necessary infrastructure. We would have to do something about that name, of course.

[tothosewhobait]

Something with more appeal. It needs to be provocative, but elegant...a name enticing enough to draw in those who would be nervous about a shop run by a "guest unit".

[righteel]

Are you in Opposition to Mostro Lounge: Tokyo-F?

I would have imagined that we would be capitalizing on our free, televised publicity and expanding our own brand recognition.

[tothosewhobait]

[B u i l d t h e b r an d God, that's hot.]

...yes.

[righteel]

I think it's an excellent idea. Good thinking, Azul.

Now that a name has been established, we'll need to start a shopping list. I doubt any of the tableware in the venue we choose will be up to our usual standard, of course. Same for decor. Business cards will be needed, of course.

[righteel]

[ already doing the calculations for the points in his head ]

Ah...

[tothosewhobait]

Hm?

[righteel]

I understand the standard of quality we need to uphold, but will the return on investment be worth it?

My concern is the possibility of a deficit.

[tothosewhobait]

All new business ventures require a substantial investment. Few new ventures see a return on profit in the beginning. Really though, this whole endeavor is one large marketing exercise, is it not?

[righteel]

Then, is the aim to secure a victory in the aforementioned "special game?"

[tothosewhobait]

[Considers briefly...]

Yes, I think considering the time frame, that would be a realistic goal.

[righteel]

Then we'll proceed with the estimates as planned.

[tothosewhobait]

We should begin planning lives as well. Perhaps a brainstorming session. After we visit venues. There is a cafe, correct?

[righteel]

That is correct. In addition to the Alfred Tea Room, the department store and mall both have food courts, cafes and restaurants.

There is also an amusement park, called Tokyo DismaySea, which has dining options as well.

[tothosewhobait]

An espresso sounds nice right about now.

[righteel]

Well, now that the door's been unlocked, allow me to escort you to the nearest cafe.
