idolpro | Izanagi's Ideal World

✣ All characters are reduced (or lifted up to) ordinary, healthy humans. This means that animal ears become human ears and all unit abilities as well as above-human strength, etc. are removed. However, characters who are ordinarily ill are now perfectly healthy. For characters with disabilities, it's the player's choice how this manifests, but generally speaking your character is able to get around comfortably with basically zero pain or physical discomfort.

✣ Characters have their phones! However, the only thing they can do is display a game.

✣ Characters are able to meet and interact with each other if they are in the same area, although their hangman screen is blocked by mosaics if they try to show each other the results. Any attempts to describe locations of correct or incorrect letters or other events involved with obtaining them will be censored by black boxes, a censorship beep, etc. for all parties within range who have not already obtained it as well.

Once a character leaves their starting room, their phone chimes. The screen seems to be locked to the below with no ability to make alterations or inputs:

HANGMAN

How to play:
✏ Collect secret characters to create the password to unlock the ultimate clue!
✏ Characters will be automatically added when you find them, so go explore!
✏ Collect five incorrect characters, and you get a hangman - and you lose!
✏ Certain “events” may be skipped. Instead, everything will be handled for you - isn’t that convenient?

[Rufous wakes up in a comfortable wooden bed. At a first glance, the room seems to be somewhat dark, yet cozy all the same. The walls are a harsh stone, and the furniture constructed with straight, severe lines, but each serves its purpose well enough. A large wardrobe to store the modern clothes, all in his size, a work desk with neatly set out pens, pencils, ink, and stationary. There are framed photos portraying Rufous and the various members of pep!pep!. Everyone in those photos wears regular modern clothing, and none are of occasions he could possibly recall.

Exploring his house - yes, house - will make it clear that his room is on the second floor, with a (working) master bathroom attached. Down the hall is a somewhat old-fashioned study, with its own work desk surrounded by shelves upon shelves of books on the natural world and earth’s history, complete with a globe of all the countries with a three dimensional surface indicating the altitude of each location. Should he go down the stairs to the first floor, he’ll find a perfectly usable, if somewhat uncomfortable living room, a dining room, and a large kitchen with its own island. Much like his room, photos of various pep!pep! and himself along with others such as Izanagi can be found framed around the whole of the house. But...

Actually, on closer examination, the make of the whole house seems to be cheap and shoddy in some way. Wood is actually plastic, and on the first floor many of the cabinets and the fridge itself in the kitchen are sealed shut. The clothes are cheaply made fast fashion that wouldn’t hold up through more than a few washes, and the photos seem to be poorly printed, as though resized from the wrong resolution. Even the study turns out to be full of only blank books, and the globe is no more than a prop, incapable of being moved or adjusted in any way for real study.

Should he exit the house, he’ll find that the nameplate says “Rufous”. He may spend as much or as little time as he likes in his house, but nothing seems to happen. However, there is a street he can follow elsewhere, and if he checks on his person he'll find a wallet with a basic ID including his photo and name, as well as a fair amount of cash in yen.]

[Nemesis wakes up in a cozy bed with a lightly colored wooden frame. Her room is comfortable, if not the most neat, with photos and polaroids of herself, avante, and Hurricane in various happy, peaceful settings she most certainly doesn’t recall, wearing regular modern clothing. Similar clothing can be found in a sliding door closet set into the wall. There are two doors in her room; one leads out into the hallway of the second floor, while the other is a glass door that leads out to a balcony with a zipline to an aerial obstacle course.

Exploring her house - yes, house - will make it clear that her room is on the second floor, along with a (working) Jack and Jill bathroom and another room that looks suspiciously like it ought to be for Hurricane, although he seems to have left for the day. On the first floor is a living room with various consoles hooked up, as well as a large dining room table and lavish kitchen featuring an island, marble countertops, a large steel fridge - the works. The walls throughout the house have photos of Nemesis and the other members of Avante, old and new, all in similarly impossible scenes like the ones found in his room. Another doorway leads to a large garage with some sleek and powerful looking motorcycles that... aren’t outfitted with engines whatsoever, making them little more than eye candy.

Actually, on closer examination, the make of the whole house seems to be cheap and shoddy in some way. Wood is actually plastic, the large screen TV doesn’t actually turn on, and on the first floor many of the cabinets and the fridge itself in the kitchen are sealed shut. The clothes are cheaply made fast fashion that wouldn’t hold up through more than a few washes, and the photos seem to be poorly printed, as though resized from the wrong resolution. The glass door to the obstacle course doesn’t open nor break, making it little more than a window into a fun playroom she can never actually access.

Should she exit the house, she’ll find that the nameplate says “Hurricane & Nemesis”. However, there is a street she can follow elsewhere, and if she checks on her person she'll find a wallet with a basic ID including her photo and name, as well as a fair amount of cash in yen.]

[Once your character leaves their house, they find themselves in a quaint neighborhood. There are a number of houses ringing a circular road, and a single house in the center.

They can travel to the central house or head down the street to the shopping district. Personal houses lock immediately after the owner exits, but people may be let in by the owner - the knob will only unlock when the owner attempts to open the door.

You may self-navigate, but if you would like a chance to run into other player characters, feel free to comment to this top level.]

[Nemesis looks around the neighborhood, uncertain--this all looks way different than where she remembers growing up.

With a shrug, she heads for the central house]

[Huh.]

[Well, a house is a more localized place, so THAT WAY.]

[Approaching the center house, the exterior is a sleek, modern looking affair with white walls and black roofing. The nameplate reads “Hizumi”. Should characters step inside, they’ll find themselves on the first floor. The door immediately to the right upon entry has a sign engraved with “Guest Bedroom” hanging from the front, and appears to be locked from the inside. Otherwise, the first floor features a living room with a large flatscreen TV, couches and armchairs enough to accommodate plenty of guests, a connected dining room with a long table seating six, and a kitchen with an island and a stainless steel refrigerator and top of the line appliances. There’s a door exiting from the kitchen that seems to go to the back somewhere, but the frosted glass makes it impossible to tell what’s behind it, and the door is locked fast.

On the second floor, characters can find a locked door that seems to lead to one half of the floor and an open door that leads to no other than the master bedroom. No matter the hour, the door to the master bedroom is open and unlocked.]

[Upon opening the door, they’ll find that the room is dark, but most of it can still be made out - plush white carpets, sleek, modern furniture made of black wood with red velvet accents. There’s a tell-tale lump in the king-sized bed with some fluffy mint green hair sticking out. It seems like someone’s fast asleep.]
