You wake up in a dark place.

Are you from BARiTONES? Because if this is a dream thing then I would like to skip out on it immediately. It is impolite to tamper with a person's dreams.

Re: Beginning

[idolpro]

"...Ah, you are mistaken. This is not your dream. I am from ☆ZRAEL."

Re: Beginning

[backstory]

[ . . . . . . THAT IS NOT ANY BETTER. ]

Are you new to the unit? And how have I wound up in someone else's dream? I am not a dreamwalker.

Re: Beginning

[idolpro]

"I am, in a sense, the one you know as Doodleman. It seems you have been brought here as part of a game."

Re: Beginning

[backstory]

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

Doodleman?

I suppose in a dream we can look quite different if we choose, but... why such a different form?

Re: Beginning

[idolpro]

"This is the form 'I' previously used."

Re: Beginning

[backstory]

You mean that you--

[ Er... This is Doodleman, right? So... ]

Your appearance has shifted over time? You did not always look like the Doodleman that I know when we are awake? How did you go through such a change?

Re: Beginning

[idolpro]

"'I' am a being without a form of its own, that can only exist by copying the appearance and personality of an existing human to use as a basis.

That is why your help is needed."

Re: Beginning

[backstory]

Then what must we do?

Re: Beginning

[idolpro]

"When you are asked a question, consider it carefully and give the best answer you can. After that, pass through the door you are directed to."

Re: Beginning

[backstory]

I will consider it with all thoughtfulness.

Must we all answer, or do only one of us need to?

Re: Beginning

[idolpro]

"Contributing to someone else's answer will be counted as you also answering."

Re: Beginning

[backstory]

Then what is the ultimate goal you would have us complete here? And will you-- or Doodleman, remember any of this in the morning?

Re: Beginning

[idolpro]

"What your answers will accomplish should become quite clear as you move forward.

And no, there will be no recollection of any of this. As this place is not within 'my' conscious awareness. 'I' will not remember exactly what takes place here, only the results."

Re: Beginning

[backstory]

The results?

Re: Beginning

[idolpro]

"That's right."

Re: Beginning

[backstory]

Will you be staying with us, then?

Re: Beginning

[idolpro]

"I will not. You will encounter others as you move forward."

Re: Beginning

[backstory]

Then how should I move forward now?

Re: Beginning

[idolpro]

"Simply go ahead and pass through the door."

What door? There's nothing but darkness-

Oh.

There is a light coming from behind you now. Should you turn around to look, you will see a door, open by a crack.

Re: Beginning

[backstory]

Door-?

[ AH-- but then there it is. ]

I will take my leave then. Thank you.

Re: Beginning

[idolpro]

"There is no need to thank me. Good luck."

Re: Beginning

[backstory]

[ Then he will go!! ]
