Fun times in FiN

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Who: FiN
Where: FiN
When: Day 80, midday

[What's going on, FiN? It would seem there's a new girl in a nightgown and blue twintails in the common area, looking at the color-choice display on the television contemplatively.]

Should I go with red...? But if I'm supposed to be an idol, it should be cute, and that might clash too much. Maybe it's best to go with blue...

[...Upon closer inspection, one of her arms and one of her legs appears to be stark white ceramic, with visible seams and joints.]

[Oh? Is it this time again?]

We already have three people with blue as their color if that matters. And one with red.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[Glances over at him without any particular reaction of surprise]

I did see that on the profiles, but I don't plan to let other people's decisions prevent me from choosing what's best for my image.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Best for your image? Ha! Drinking the corporate kool-aid already?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Wholeheartedly.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Don't you think it's a little early to be asking "how high" when your so-called master tells you to jump? You've barely even started.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

On the contrary, I'd say I'm well-positioned to know exactly how high I need to jump.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh? Do tell.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I intend to graduate, which means I'm climbing to the top of this place.

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Just graduate. Isn't that aiming your sights a little low for---

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Looks to Erika. Then the door she came out of. Back to Erika. Over to where his lab is and---

???]

How do you already know about graduation?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Because I made it here specifically for that purpose.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Made it here...

Made it here from where?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

The real depths of hell, obviously.

1/3

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

How is that fucking obvious?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Pinches the bridge of his nose. Just when you think you had mapped out the walls of your cage, the producers go and throw a curve ball like this...]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Care to explain who you are and where you came from. You seem to be a special case from the normal new blood.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[giggles.]

My name is Furudo Erika. I'm the detective, the one who appears when a murder needs to be solved, who reveals the truths that people try to hide. Of course, I remember everything about that.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[a slight flicker of displeasure shows before she continues]

I also remember how I fell into hell, and lost hold of that. Though... even hell couldn't completely eradicate Furudo Erika. So, I was chosen for the chance to come here.

1/2 Sorry we be doing this all day

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So you're one of the Damned.

Jesus fucking---

[Holy shit]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Did you catch the name of the Prince that tested you?

1/2 yeah

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[there a moment of obvious pleasure at how much he's freaking out about this]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[—and then her face falls again at that question]

...I did not. Unfortunately, my recollection of my time in hell itself is blurry. I'm sure it's a deliberate effect, since normally I have a flawless memory.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course. They wouldn't want to tip their hand that much.

So the next question - obviously - is which graduation are you aiming for? Heaven or Hell?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[looks at him for a few moments before answering]

...Hell, obviously. I doubt they'd have let me in here if it was otherwise.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So the Damned can't take Heaven's Blessing. They have to go for the fucking monkey paw wish.

[Internal screaming goes here]
