newbie breakfast

[sancrimony]

Who: 3+1 babies + sensitIVs
Where: @ sensitIV
When: Day 172, morning

[ for those who have lived in sensitIV for a while, they'll wake up (if they slept) to the familiar smell of herb and butter bread: lucifel's probably the only one who uses the tandir oven but he uses it pretty extensively! there's also the smell of toasted cinnamon, which is actually fairly unique to today, but maybe it has to do with how cold it is, and if anyone ventures in the kitchen when lucifel's not there, there's guymag in a large pot available for anyone to have a bowl to warm themselves up with.

of course, for the newbies, those are all probably new to one degree or another. hey, where the fuck are you?

+ there's also a cottage probably somewhere around sensitIV, in some corner. every sensitIV will have gotten a text on the night of 170/morning of 171 to inform them that lavender is spending a few days with them, and that the cottage is hers, so it's not alarming to anyone except those who didn't get the text. which would be like, three of you, so, ]

[Minty green hair and golden, catlike eyes probably aren't the strangest things people have seen around here. But it's still a pretty unique look, making it rather clear that this guy is one of their brand new fresh meat.

He'd obligingly changed into one of the more practical uniforms provided, though he lacks any of the bandages for now. For the most part, he seems to just be quietly and methodically working his way through the dorms to see what's where.

He's also quick to notice if anyone else is around, and if they've noticed him in return, he'll go ahead and wave.]

Yo.

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, hello...

[wait, a third new person? though the surprise doesn't show on his face.]

[bondsofsuffering]

I don't suppose you could fill me in on what exactly's going on here...?

[He's trying to get his bearings, but there's only so much one can glean from some idol gear and a... very themed dormitory?

On the bright side, at least he seems friendly enough.]

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, could try. How much of the information have you read on your phone?

[bondsofsuffering]

I read some stuff about being an idol and all that. Like how you're Persephone, right?

[forgottenmercy]

That is, ah, correct.

...would you, ah, like to begin with the where, or what those competitions consist of?

[bondsofsuffering]

[Hmmm.]

Let's start with the "where" first.

[crystallinelore]

[this one is still in his pajamas... probably? more realistically he's a blanket burrito who has gone to great lengths to cover like, everything but his lower face.

blanket wave.]

Good morning.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Blanket burritos get waves too, worry not.]

Morning! Did you just wake up here too?

[Or has he been around longer...?]

[crystallinelore]

I did. I only emerged a few minutes ago.

[bondsofsuffering]

So I'm guessing you don't really know much about what's going on here either, huh?

[crystallinelore]

I am afraid not. I know only what was written in those devices.

[bondsofsuffering]

These phones are pretty nifty, huh... Too bad they don't say much.

[He pulls his own from his pocket, eyeing it again.]

What's your name here?

[It's hard to tell when he's got his face mostly covered, and when Blade hasn't had a chance to see all the others to eliminate possibilities yet.]

[backstory]

At least this one did not destroy his room.

[ Yeah, they all look weird. ]

[bondsofsuffering]

[They do, and he can't help but stare a little like it's a new sight to him. Which is especially strange, because he has no frame of reference, logically speaking; all of this should be new to him.]

Causing a mess isn't going to help with anything, is it?

[backstory]

It would only cause more headaches in the future.

[ He sneezes into his arm, and after sniffling, he lifts a hand up to his chest and gives a slight bow. ]

My name is Leviathan. I am one of your brothers on SensitIV. Welcome.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Whoa, he looks like that but still gets a sneeze...]

Are you sick?

[Is this guy okay?? He's a little concerned.]

Nice to meet you, I guess... Apparently I'm Blade now.

[Which he's neutral on, because he knows it's got to be fake, but it's not like he's really picky about what he's called as long as it isn't anything too demeaning.]

[backstory]

I caught a cold. Someone called it...an immune system? I was protected from such things back home, but I do not possess those same protections here. As a result, my ability to fight against such things is weak at the moment.

[ How does one train their body to fight off a cold it's not like exercise....

He sniffles. ]

Blade sounds like a very strong name. Do you intend to keep it or do you prefer to come up with a new name all your own?

[bondsofsuffering]

...Ssssso basically you've never gotten sick before?

[What a blessed life...]

You think so? It's kind of plain, but I guess I don't have any real complaints.

[Ignore the times he complained to others about it.]

I did notice a lot of fancy ones in our unit, though...

[nihilmancy]

[Sekhmet has catlike eyes herself, and approaches him with a little wave. She's also dressed as a Baritone at the moment, further confusing things.]

Hello. Quite a strange sense of decoration, no?

[bondsofsuffering]

[Oh, those clothes look slick? He looks mildly envious. Other styles!!]

Cute, but morbid. It's an interesting contrast... but I guess that's the appeal in it?

[nihilmancy]

Oh, ah, we can buy clothing from other units! To be honest, our native style isn't my favorite.

Um, have people already explained the situation here?

[bondsofsuffering]

I can kinda understand the feeling.

[He's pretty neutral on it, but it's very... unique.]

Kind of? I'm told we're in hell.

[nihilmancy]

You are indeed, I'm afraid. It's a lot to take in. Don't be ashamed to take your time processing it.

[bondsofsuffering]

It's definitely taking a while to click.

[He doesn't feel like he's in hell??? Let's see how long it takes for that feeling to fade.]

But I think I'd rather find out as much as I can now so I know what to be prepared for. Living in hell can't really be that easy, can it?
