Who: future is now and maybe visitors?
Where: future is now
When: Day 138, morning

[ A young man wakes up in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, Day 138, is the date he will make his idol debut in Imeeji Idol Productions! Although it was ten years, three months, and two days since he was given a name, it is only today that he will be given an idol name!

What will that new name be? ]

Oh! Yeah, I see you now. Hi!

[resonantblue]

...

[give realization a second to set in, complete with staring and blinking]

We have a new unitmate.

[windheritance]

Unit mate?

[resonantblue]

Welcome. You are on future is now, one of the twelve units this idol program has to offer.

Not that you had a choice.

[sparkle sparkle]

[windheritance]

I didn't. But I guess that's okay? What's an idol program?

[resonantblue]

It (presumably) means your every moment outside this dorm is broadcast to an audience for their viewing pleasure.

[windheritance]

Oh. So I'm like... a movie star???

[resonantblue]

Movie... you mean a motion picture that lasts approximately an hour, correct?

[windheritance]

I think so?

[resonantblue]

Ah. Then, the answer is no. You are not a movie star, you are a subject of hell's ongoing show along with the rest of us.

[windheritance]

Oh. So I'm a... reality TV star..?

[resonantblue]

...


[i,]


Yes.

[windheritance]

Okay! That's pretty cool, I guess.

[resonantblue]

What have you learned so far? Silence can assist where needed.

[windheritance]

So far, that we're on a unit called 'future is now', that we're idols? That I'm late, I guess?

[resonantblue]

[nods, sounds right, yep]

You are late... and you still know too little. Intensity may have suggested a review of your phone, but there is more to learn that cannot be gathered from the phone alone.

To begin, there are games that allow you to earn points, which can be exchanged for powers, memories, items, and clothing.

[windheritance]

If we win enough games do we get immunity from being voted out?

[resonantblue]

Voted out? From what?

[windheritance]

The show..? Like, we have to go home and we don't win the million dollars?

[resonantblue]

I see. You are referring to the idea of leaving entirely...

No.

[windheritance]

No?

[resonantblue]

No, you cannot leave... unless you receive an offer to leave. Even then, it may only be to another program here in hell.

[not the most knowledgeable of graduations here]

[windheritance]

How busy is Hell TV...

[resonantblue]

Very.

[windheritance]

Well, that sounds like it sucks.
