imeeji_frontstage | A pure dragon appears! Also a live.

Who: 'Leviathan' (Kija) and everyone
Where: All the dorms. Also outside.
When: Day 80, Late Midday and early evening.

[sensitIV]

[He is still really...rather confused. But now that he's calmed down some, eaten, and changed into the fashion of this land (Or at least, of this unit) he is feeling better. His apparent unit color is Seafoam Cyan. He can't decide if it's more green or more blue, but in the end, it doesn't really matter to him. Clothes are clothes, and with a bit of help from his housemates, he's figured out how to wear the outfit.]

Are you sure the eyepatch is not a bit much?

[He isn't injured, so why hinder his vision... but if that is the way things are done, then he'll do what he must!]

The quicker I earn points, the quicker I am able to regain my memories, correct? I have decided! I will do a live today!!

[It's better to start now than to waste time, after all!]

[Live!!]

[Kija still barely understands the purpose of the videos. If he does something in front of one of the magic devices, everyone will be able to see it. It is...supposed to be a performance of some type, like a play, he supposes. But in the end, he thinks it might be easier to start by doing one of these 'lives'. All he has to do is a medical check-up. To be honest, he isn't sure how qualified he is for the job, but it accomplishes a few birds with one stone. He can meet the other groups, get some points, and maybe learn something about medical treatment. Possibly. He's not really sure yet.

Dressed up in the clothes his team helped him figure out earlier, he goes from one floor to the next, and knocks on the door.]

Excuse me. [He bows politely when the door is opened.] I have just arrived today. I am here to greet my new neighbors. In addition, I would like to inquire into if anyone here requires a wellness check-up.

[Of course, he can be found wandering the halls in any part of the building, or else getting some fresh air outside and exploring the outdoors, if the building occupants aren't home.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'd prefer knowing what I've gotten myself into here. Ignorance won't help me in the long run.

Good answer.

[Well, he's in luck because he's just stumbled on Imeeji's information hoarder. So give Intensity a minute to duck back into the dorm and he'll come back with this for Kija, the paper neatly folded down the center]

[He blinks, unsure what to expect when the other ducks out, only to return again shortly after, a paper in hand. His brows crease before reaching out for the paper, unfolding it to quietly read.

And it's a lot to take in.]

Does everyone know this? The participants here I mean.

[He frowns darkly]

I had thought it better to simply refuse to participate in whatever games they choose to play, but that isn't a good option either after reading this over.

The information gathered here is freely available to everyone.

And you can play the games how you see fit. Just know there is a hefty price to pay if you manage to kill yourself intentionally in one.

I have no such desire to harm myself.

[He can do a lot more alive than dead.]

But that means our performances in these games are certainly judged.

Everything we do is judged. And while being entertaining can help keep you here, it's not enough to keep you safe from the producers' fuckery.

I assume there's little we can do to avoid that, except to mentally and physically prepare ourselves.

If you find out how to accomplish the latter, turn that into a self-help kit and sell that shit. You'll be rich.

Simply building up our strength should help in that regard, shouldn't it? Regular exercise and training.

Also makes you more effective at killing.

I would prefer to avoid that if it can be prevented.

[Intensity stop being so intense]

[Never]

Just making you aware of the potentially unintentional side effects of your actions. We should all be wary of the monkey paw wish.

Personal experience?

I'd say it was more everyone's experience. I haven't personally made one to backfire on me so spectacularly.

[Yet]

And what's your secret? Simple caution?

Don't bring desperation to a situation where you have no leverage. You'll pay more than your share in something you're bound to regret later.

Then what would you suggest a person do in a situation where they don't have that leverage?

Get out of the situation. But most important, don't make any fucking deals.

I'm sure that's the best case scenario. Though considering this place, I wonder if that is easier said than done.

It certainly will be with that attitude.

I just mean...! If someone you care about is in trouble, wouldn't you do anything to protect them?

That depends if they want me to interfere or not.

If someone I cared about was in trouble, I would protect them no matter the consequences!

[Just sighs]

One of those, I see. Well then prepare to grovel and cry those crocodile tears when your monkey paw wish ends up doing more harm than good.

I don't know what crocodiles and monkeys have to do with this! But I cannot believe anyone would sit aside when someone they care about is in trouble. Including yourself.
