King-kun? I didn't know you were visiting, hello.

[ he startles, spinning around with an awkward laugh. ]

I think I might have slept over?

[ why else would he have woken up in a bed? ]

[...Interesting!]

You think? Do you not remember, King-kun?

[ he shakes his head. ]

I'm not sure, honestly. Maybe I just stumbled in?

[ he's grasping at straws. ]

No, I- I don't remember anything.

Anything??

[Wait a second... he's not monochrome so it can't be that the disease has infected him that much, could it be?? Rise pulls out her phone and checks the profiles quickly.]

...Ah! You aren't King-kun at all!

Nothing.

[ he watches her, taking a few steps closer to peer down at the phone. ]

That's a relief... I think.

[It's his own profile on her screen]

It changes things, that's for sure. I'm sorry, this must be very confusing, welcome to pep! pep!

That's our unit. We all woke up here a while ago with no memories too.

[ jigsaw. he rescinds his relief. can he go back to being king? ]

Just a little bit. [ he gives her am easy smile. no harm no foul. ]

Really? So that's just the norm. How, uh, strange.

Maybe you can tell me why I can't get my closet open, because I'd kiiiinda like to get out of these pajamas.

It's definitely strange, but we'll help you through all the strangeness, so don't worry.

As for the closet, that's because you haven't chosen a colour yet.

[Rise points over to the screen]

Do you see how we all have colours next to our names? You have to pick one, and then you'll get clothes in that colour, like mine is red so they gave me this red outfit.

With a promise like that I definitely don't have anything to worry about now.

[ he wants to say 'oh, that makes sense' but it doesn't so he just gives her a nod as he looks to the screen. ]

If you're red, then you're... A Hero In Red!

[ he chooses white and looks visibly excited at the thought of changing clothing. small victories! ]

Ehehe, that's the profile name they gave me, but I actually picked the name Scarlet Sunrise for myself. You can call me Rise!

[ a hero in red is so cool! but he understands wanting to choose another name. he's not overly fond of jigsaw. ]

It's nice to meet you, Rise. As myself. [ and not king. he gives a laugh. ] I'm going to have to start thinking of names, because... [ he makes a sour face at the profile wondering why they'd chosen that. ]

So who is King anyway?

We can help you come up with names too! A lot of us have gone with a sunny or sky theme.

[Rise pulls up HSS's profiles to check if King's is still there because actually she has no idea what's going on, feeling a mix of relief and confusion that his is still up? Is this a doubles situation or is it related to the sickness or what, who knows, she's just going with it! Turning her phone around.]

This is King-kun. You two look similar, so we were a little confused, he's on Heart Soldier Senshi so maybe we can visit them later.

Really! [ that's even better, actually. he's at a loss for what to call himself, since he doesn't remember much, but a theme is something to start with, and he really likes the idea of forming a bond over names. ]

You're not kidding. [ he squints at the profile. ] It's like looking into a mirror. [ with a few minor differences. ] That'd be great. Maybe he knows me or... something. [ and can shed a bit of light on the apparent doubles sitch going on. ]

Maybe! I'm sure he'd be interested to meet you too.

Do you want to get dressed first? Your closet should be open now. Ah, just to let you know, all our clothes come in the style of school uniforms.

I... think that might be a good idea. [ don't need to make a bad impression in front of a guy named king. ]

[ he starts heading back to his room when she adds that. ] Oh yeah? [ a smile follows. ] So we all get to match then? [ he's on board. ]

[Going with him to the door so they can keep chatting but not entering the room, staying against the wall.]

There's a lot of variety in what kind of clothes we wear, but every unit has it's own kind of style. For example, we all get matching sailor collars or gakurans.

I like that idea. It makes our unit cohesive and almost like a... family. [ he heads inside to change into this. ]

We can add accessories though, right? As long as we keep the unit aesthetic? [ because he feels like he's missing something strangely enough. ]

[ joining her back in the hall he feels a bit better. ] There! And I'll keep the pjs, since they fit our theme pretty perfectly.

[...While Rise does like the idea of a family, some people on this team might feel weird about calling it that.]

Oh, you look cute! Yes, you can, is there any particular accessory you'd like?

[ they can keep it to themselves then! or maybe even turn them around on the idea. ]

[ it doesn't take him long to think of something and he honestly feels a bit sheepish for having thought it so quickly. ] A choker? O- Or a necklace! [ nice save. ] Something like that.

A necklace, hmm...

[Swiping through the store on her phone, thinking about the kind of aesthetic King likes maybe something similar...]

How about something like this? Oh, or this one?

Hm... [ he looks between the two necklaces. ] I think I like the first one better. [ it almost matches his color too, and he's not sure he could rock something as crowded as the other. ]

But, oh!, what about that.

You like that one? It's pretty.

[Immediately buys it for him.]

I do, I think it's per- Rise! I don't have any money, er, points yet! [ and he feels bad for her having to use her own. ]

Don't worry, points are easy to earn. When you buy something, it comes through the mailbox over here.

[Gestures, leading him over to pick it up. She'd been planning to buy him a choker and a necklace but him picking out one for himself works just as well, going to get it out of the mailbox and hand it to him.]
