STARTING POST: FUTURE IS NOW

[idolpro]

WHO: future is now
WHERE: Dormitory, 6th floor
WHEN: Day 1, Morning

[ You all wake up in bed with your smartphone at your bedside. The closet door is locked, so if you want to change out of your sleepwear, no dice. If you try to remember why you locked your closet door, also no dice, since you remember absolutely nothing from before waking up.

At least you've got all these other amnesiacs waking up in the same dormitory you can ask questions that they also don't have the answer to! The only thing that even pretends to have answers is your smartphone, which helpfully has your profile, a rundown on your unit, a map and city information, and your job description: while your every waking moment is being filmed and broadcast to a live audience, you'll get to conduct lives, perform in videos, and participate in game shows where you'll compete against other units! Congratulations on becoming an idol!

The television in the main room is waiting for your input; the current display is a list of the "names" of everyone in your unit with flashing empty boxes next to each of them, much like the ones on your profiles, waiting for you to each assign yourself a personal color— your position within the unit.

Once you've all chosen, the closet doors will unlock. It seems the elevator doors are staying locked while waiting on other units to finish sorting out their positions. Maybe go put on some real clothes in the meantime. ]

((Your character's sleepwear is whatever you want it to be, be it embarrassing onesie or long nightgown or just boxer shorts, though only white and unit colored. This post is for you to meet and greet your unit; another post will be going up tomorrow for characters to explore the setting outside of their dorms and meet other units.))

[This girl suddenly sits up in her bed, staring straight at the wall in front of her. After a few moments have passed, she hops right out and goes around to look at everything. Touch, touch, touch, examine the door, pats down the tv, and then she turns to look at the teammates.]

Hiya!

[Her pjs are cute and frilly.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[In contrast, his pjs are bland and boring - white long sleeve shirt and pants. He watches her flit around the room, scrolling through the info on his phone once, twice, three--

Oh.

She's talking to him.]

What?

[nohalation]

I just wanted to say hi!

...

Also what are we doing here?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Being monkeys in someone's circus. [Holds up the smart phone] If you believe this garbage.

Do you remember anything?

[nohalation]

Are we monkeys? I don't think we are, are we?

[stares at the phone, oooooh, aaaaah]

I remember waking up!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Before that.

[nohalation]

Hmm...










Oh. No, I don't remember anything.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Wonderful.

[Pinches the bridge of his nose with two fingers]

Give me your phone.

[nohalation]

...this thing?

[holds up the fone]

[negotiatoronsite]

[ this guy blinks up at her from his phone, the LED on his temple turning from blue to yellow when she addresses him ]

Hello. Are you by any chance the person who brought us here?

[nohalation]

Oh!






I dunno, am I? I don't remember!

[negotiatoronsite]

Hmm. That's unfortunate. Then I assume you also don't know anything about this?

[ shoving his phone with his profile info just a little too close to her face ]

[nohalation]

[She doesn't seem to mind so much, leaning forward right into the phone to get a good look at it.

She then takes her own phone out and holds it right up to this mysterious fellow's face. WHAT IS PERSONAL SPACE.]

Mine looks the same! We match!

[negotiatoronsite]

[ NEITHER OF THEM KNOWS, he reads hers and smiles a little. it's sort of a smile, anyway. it's also sort of awkward and uncanny ]

I think in this case, that makes us bandmates. Though I'm sorry to inform you know I know nothing about any of that.

[nohalation]

Bandmates?

[??? She doesn't seem to mind the awkward smile.]

That sounds exciting whatever it is!

[negotiatoronsite]

[ holding his phone up to her again ]

That's what it says. Also that we're being recorded. Is that exciting?

[nohalation]

Recorded?

[She pulls away from awkward space invasion to walk around the room, looking at every corner of the wall, but she doesn't seem particularly perturbed by the idea so much as CURIOUS.]

Where? Are people writing down everything we say? Hi, everyone! Hellooo....!

[toodeeptoford]

[ standing by her bed ]

Good morning.

[nohalation]

[she doesn't seem to mind this stranger just chilling by her bedside]

Whatcha doing?

[toodeeptoford]

[ she blinks, like she herself is just waking up ]

I . . . can't rightly say that I know. What are you doing?

[nohalation]

...I guess I'm talking to you!

[toodeeptoford]

[ a small laugh ]

I guess you are! That must mean I'm talking to you too, huh?

[nohalation]

...!

Yes, it seems like that's the case! How lucky!

[toodeeptoford]

So far so good!

[nohalation]

[a hop, a skip, a hop, a skip]

So what do we do now? Lets look at everything!
