OUT INTO THE WORLD

[imepro]

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Anywhere!
WHEN: Day 1, Afternoon

[ Congratulations, enough of you have successfully picked colors to convince the elevator doors to open! Hopefully you have also gotten real clothes on, though there is a solid possibility you looked at the provided idol wardrobes and went yeah, no thank you. In any case, you all are now able to meet, greet, and wander. All of faux-Tokyo (Faukyo) is at your disposal! At least, the parts that aren't closed off, empty, or made entirely out of plastic. ]

[ Majima's decked out in black, torn skinny jeans, tennis shoes and an open black leather jacket, with nothing really on underneath the jacket itself -- showing the edge still of tattoos on his chest which he doesn't seem tom ind at this point. he's at the door to the vid room, squinting at the qualities it lists with his good eye. ]

This really is all a kinda performance, huh?

[fiberoptic]

[Here comes another old guy who had the same idea - a greying super sentai hitting the big 5-0. If Wire's gonna be stuck here, he wanted to know exactly what the utilities could do. The vid room seemed like one of the few places that might offer something useful.]

Whatever you say.

You planning on usin' that thing?

[grandschemed]

Maybe once I get a better stock'a this place. Could come in handy, but I don't think I really get it all yet.

[ he turns to look -- and there's something like genuine relief, at seeing someone that seems older than him; he'd been seeing what Majima considers to be a truly disproportionate number of kid-looking people around. ]

It's gonna sound weird if I say it but it's kinda nice seein' someone older than I look.

[fiberoptic]

Really. Wish I could relate.

[He's not taking offense though - when you hit half a century, you pretty much accept that You Are Ancient, Oldness Incarnate.]

There really are too many kids here... that's what plays well on TV, young idiot hormones making stupid decisions. I give it a week before it drives me nuts.

[grandschemed]

[ he snorts at the first part. ]

Too much older than ya and we'd start seein' idols with canes walkin' around. Not sure it'd get much viewers.

[ but it's light, and he can definitely see where Cable's coming from on the second part: ]

This whole thing seems really questionable on that front. Kidnapping a buncha kids and telling 'em to act out for points? What kinda whackjob d'you think they got runnin' this place?

[fiberoptic]

One who knows how teenagers work. Take advantage of kids while they're at their most developmentally volatile and impressionable. Old enough to do damage but young enough that they don't know restraint.

Sounds like a morally bankrupt TV producer's wetdream.

[maxxximumeffort]

You must be Oni.

[grandschemed]

What, I'm already a celebrity?

[nohalation]

[here is a girl barreling straight towards you]

Hiiiiiiiiiii! Are you papa-chan?

[grandschemed]

-- Woah there.

[ he puts up his hands to brace before outright collision. ]

I ain't old enough to be a papa.

[nohalation]

Oh...

[disappointment all over her face]

I guess I gotta keep looking...

[grandschemed]

Are ya lookin' for yer dad or what?

[nohalation]

Ummm, no, I don't think so. Actually, I don't remember anyone. I was told by someone to look for a papa-chan so I can find all of the brothers. If I do, I get to be an honorary sister or something. I don't get it but it sounds fun!

[Padding up beside him to peer around him. They're wearing a military uniform straight out of Gundam Wing complete with half cloak. All in black and yellow.]

What do yours say?

[grandschemed]

Rebellious, loud, angry..? Sounds like it fits with our whole aesthetic.

[ he turns some to give them a look over, with a bit of a raised eyebrow. ]

You look like yer straight outta some kinda military.

[deicider]

[Flicks the cape a bit to show the dramatic sway, then holding out the hand.]

Cardigan, avante en garde. You're kind of right. [Gesturing to wherever it lists avante's requirements: Knightly/chivalrous, Obedient or authoritative, Quick to anger/easily offended, Straight-forward, Arrogant]

[grandschemed]

Ya think they tried to match people to the right kinda traits for 'em?

[ he moves to take their hand and shake it. ]

Oni.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Looks like it.

[This kid in a sentai uniform is coming up behind you to peer at the screen around your arm.]

[grandschemed]

[ he shifts to give him a better look. ]

I'm not sure I'm much of a performer.

[crossmyheartandhope]

One way to find out, right?

[grandschemed]

Thinkin' I should give it a shot?

[artificialinelegance]

[ rockin' that WELCOME HELL shirt ]

Exactly as advertised! You not a good actor?

[grandschemed]

Not like I remember bein' a good one or not.

[artificialinelegance]

Gimmie your best actin' face.

[grandschemed]

Don't that depend on what I'm actin' out?
