STARTING POST: HEART SOLDIER SENSHI

[idolpro]

WHO: Heart Soldier Senshi
WHERE: Dormitory, 9th 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 boy is PANICKING as he taps through the smartphone and talks to himself, his eyes darting wildly around the room. His sleepwear is a pair of shorts and a shirt that says 'sleep shirt'.]

Idol?!? Wait, there's been a serious mistake here! Are they serious, I don't know the first thing about being an idol, what position am I meant to take if I don't know any of them? They want me to p-p-perform? In front of people? In combat with - other units? What other units? What is going on??

[ There's a face peeking at him from around the corner separating the bedroom from the common room. It's hard to get a good look at them, but they do seem to have a mass of disheveled, curly red hair. Whoever it is seems like they're torn between wanting to approach and not wanting to. AT LENGTH, and with equal amount of timidity and concern, she (it's definitely a girl's voice) asks-- ] Are you all right?

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[Oh no it's a cute girl! He whips his head up to face her, it shouldn't be a surprise there are other people here considering what he'd just read and seen and yet oh my gosh other people. Who are they and what do they know? This girl seems tmid so she's probably just as lost as him.]

Y, Yes, I'm... I'm confused? This is something of an alarming situation, but, I'm sure we can figure it out.

[fiberoptic]

[Jesus this kid was freaking out. He didn't need this. Amnesia be damned, there was just something about being an old-ass man that resonated this urge to get these gat dang kids in line.]

Kid. Shut up for a second and breathe. [Gruff, but it was in a well-meaning sort of way.]

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[BIG MAN

The kid jumps when he's addressed, he'd been completely lost in his babbling thoughts and for some reason hadn't expected anyone to interrupt that, but it only makes sense that there would be other people and they would hear him, but who is he.]

Um! Sorry, right, I'm breathing, I'm calm, this was just a lot to take in.

[He says, not very calmly at all.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Pokes his head in. Did you know you're panicking so loud this kid could hear you out in the main room?]

You, uh. You okay there?

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[He does now, he's attracted so many people's concern oh no.]

Fine! I think! Just, er, surprised?

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Out in the common room, a girl in a peach, ankle length night gown is standing in the middle of the room, just.... staring, clutching her arms close to herself and regarding--well, everything, really--with a wide-eyed and uncertain expression. Even with the phone's "instructions"--this situation and its surroundings are utterly incomprehensible to her. Eventually, she curls down into a fetal position and scoots herself underneath the table and just huddles there. ]

[fiberoptic]

[C h i l d r e n

On the one hand, this was a lot to take in. On the other, the longer she took to deal with this, the more vulnerable she'd be. Being like, the only adult in sight, it felt like his responsibility to do something about it. Though, he didn't quite realize how threatening he might've looked.

The greying old man put his hand on the table where she was hiding and peered under at her, grumbling:] That's not gonna do you any good.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ She jerked a little at the sound and face of an unfamiliar person. She hasn't made any kind of move to come out from underneath the table yet, but she hasn't tried to move back either. Rather, she remains in her cautious huddled up position under the table. Only the table hasn't betrayed her by supporting some new fangled... thing... she can't recognize. ]

Who are you?

[ The question is--a little fearful, though not necessarily because of him. ]

[fiberoptic]

[Maybe it was his age speaking, but this old man really didn't have the energy to panic. That was just a lot of wasted energy - he just wanted to figure out what the hell was happening and hopefully get out of this wool onesie. The crap on the phone wasn't making a whole lot of sense, so he was rather hoping that investigating the dorm would shed some light on the situation. Maybe some spark that would make all this random information gel into something comprehensible.

After surveying this sleeping pod(?) and the other corners of the room, he finally gravitated towards what was on the big TV screen. Where these names? They matched up with the list in the phone. If there was someone close by, he was gonna call out to them.]

Hey. Which one are you.

[made_up_names]

[ This kid has been helpfully listed as "Spidey." He is currently attempting to perch on top of a chair and mostly failing, courtesy of missing his powers. Still athletic, tho, just in actual human gymnast kind of way. ]

Whoa, you're like. Ancient.

[fiberoptic]

[That got an unimpressed stare. Neither an answer to his question, nor very helpful at all. And what the hell was this one doing, trying to stand on furniture like an idiot?]

I hadn't noticed. Sit properly, for fuck's sake.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[This kid in dinosaur PJs with a prosthetic leg is busy pushing buttons and flipping levers and fiddling with the chart displays.]

Looks like I'm that one.

[He points over to the listing that reads "Hurricane."]

How bout you?

[fiberoptic]

[Hurricane. Was this an idol thing, having cool, dramatic codenames? Seemed kind of stupid. Still, he glanced over at the kid, trying to figure out how much of him matched his name - noting the prosthetic. Not a lot seemed to evoke the wild and destructive nature of his namesake, but hey, it was still early.

As for his own name... he glanced down at the profile on his phone to double check, but yup. Underwhelming.]

...'Wire'.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[In the main room, there's a boy with ridiculous bedhead wearing these rocking PJs. He's missing his right leg from the thigh down, and in its place is a sleek metal prosthesis that looks decidedly out of place against the dinosaur shorts. His mouth is wide open, and he's staring at the. Well, the everything.]

[And probably already poking at the display monitors and colorful buttons, despite having absolutely no idea what they do.]

Okay, like. What?

Seriously, what?

I'm so sorry for her

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ She feels like she should be the one asking that, to be honest. She can't stop staring at the metal thing on his leg. Or is that his actual leg? How is that his actual leg? It's actually very clever, now that she takes a better look, even if it IS rather frightening to behold.

She doesn't address his concerns and comes right up to squat next to his leg so she can get an even closer look at his prosthesis. For a girl that comes from a kingdom that doesn't even have electric lights, this is mind boggling. ]

Re: I'm so sorry for her

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Blinking down at her for a second-]

Re: I'm so sorry for her

[crossmyheartandhope]

[-and then full-on beams.]

Pretty cool, right? It moves the way the other one does. I don't even have to do anything special.

[On cue, the foot moves a little, like it's imitating someone wiggling his toes.]

[made_up_names]

[ Clearly the only sleepwear this guy is allowed to wear is underoos. The design is way more generic, but there's still totally a spider theme. For some reason. ]

Whoaaaa. This is kind of amazing.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

...You're taking this surprisingly well.

[made_up_names]

Well, yeah. Sure. What's not to like? This place looks amazing, and we're gonna compete with people, and I dunno what an idol is but it's probably fun?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[This kid with a prosthetic leg in dinosaur PJs is already poking at these mystery buttons.]

Right?! It looks like some kind of secret base.

[made_up_names]

[ AWESOME. This guy approves of your accidental fashion. ]

Dude, do you think that's what it is? Like, we're on a mission to save the world with - whatever it is we're doing?

[dragonheartedgirl]

TURNS BRIGHT RED AND YELPS. And runs out of the room. WHY ARE YOU DRESSED IN SO LITTLE, IT'S IMMODEST ]
