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, ]

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.]

[crystallinelore]

[blanketshrug]

The name given on my profile was Noah, and I am not opposed to using it. May I ask yours?

[bondsofsuffering]

Mine's Blade. It pretty much screams fake name though, don't you think?

[Seriously, who names their kid that?]

[crystallinelore]

It is... a tad dramatic, yes.

[bondsofsuffering]

Maybe it's to go with the blood theme here?

[He seriously has no clue. If only he could remember literally anything about himself.]

But it doesn't really match with yours, in that case.

[crystallinelore]

I don't particularly think it's a nice way to name someone, either, fitting theme with... [gestures around them.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Leaning close to whisper conspiratorially.]

It's not just me, right? This aesthetic is kinda...

[It. It could use some improvement.]

[crystallinelore]

It's, um...

[nods]

[bondsofsuffering]

See? See?!

[He keeps his voice hushed, but it's not that effective when he's still exclaiming it.]

Geeze. I wonder how they picked it?

[crystallinelore]

I cannot even begin to imagine, in truth.

[bondsofsuffering]

It has to have some kind of appeal, but it seems pretty niche to me... Don't you normally try to appeal to the biggest audience you can?

[Why does he think this way? Fushigi mystery.]

Unless it's more reflective of whoever set it up in the first place.

[Hm.]

[crystallinelore]

Appealing to a niche has its own rewards, especially if you can appeal to several at once. I suspect the other units have different aesthetics.

[bondsofsuffering]

I wonder who gets to do the real mainstream ones, then... No fair. I wanna be popular too!

[He looks a little jealous? What's the point of being forced into being an idol with zero memories unless you're popular???]

[crystallinelore]

I believe the point is to vie for popularity on our own merits.

[bondsofsuffering]

Oh, not here. Like... with a different group?

[Or whatever the case is here? The whole kidnapping thing makes it a lot more mysterious. The whole amnesia thing even more so, because he doesn't strictly know why he vaguely knows anything.]

Unless our units are seriously the only acts around.

[crystallinelore]

Oh, outside of this program altogether...? I suppose it wouldn't make sense, not to have others.

[bondsofsuffering]

Right?

[He nods to himself. He's totally right!! Except.]

...As long as this place abides by that logic, anyway.

[crystallinelore]

It is hard to say what logic it may abide by.

1/2

[bondsofsuffering]

[He nods to himself a couple of times, apparently taking this all quite seriously.]

There's way too many variables to consider...

2/2

[bondsofsuffering]

[-And then, looking up curiously again.]

By the way, are you planning to just live the rest of your life here as a blanket monster, or?

[crystallinelore]

I am afraid you may have to consign yourself to your fate of having a blanket monster for a unitmate.

[smiling, though, clearly teasing.]

[bondsofsuffering]

Ahhh, the scariest of monsters! How will I be able to cope?

[Look at your unitmate, Noah. This will truly be so hard on him.]

[crystallinelore]

[waves his blanketed arms, ghost-like, then actually takes down the blanket.]

Surprise!
