newbie breakfast

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, ]

I don't know if your culture has a concept of 'Hell', but this is it. We're part of a production on a false, rotten stage, made to dance for demons for their entertainment and joy, fighting for the pieces of ourselves that have been stolen from us. ...I take it you don't remember anything?
pyromaniash: (serious2)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-11 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
That all sounds very... unnecessarily dramatic....

I remember nothing. Should I be aware of the reason I've been sentenced to Hell in the first place?

I think that's a question we'd all like to know. From what I've learned ... the situation is complicated. 'Hell' may not be what you think it is; 'Heaven' may not be what you think it is. ...You may not even be dead, actually. If you have any questions, there are a few people you can ask, but - Ah, don't do so outside of the dorms. There are cameras outside of of these walls, and we're doing our best to try to make the audience think that their dolls don't know anything.

What a bizarre concept.

Are we meant to just grin and bear it, then? All for the sake of some kind of demonic show?
heavenlyvisitor: (089)

[personal profile] heavenlyvisitor 2019-11-12 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Something along those lines. It's ... less than ideal. It's not good — It's hard to get used to. But ... Mm, the more you pretend that you're okay with it, the easier that it becomes for you and the rest of you unit.

...This, 'sensitIV', is 'your unit', by the way. While you'll be pitted against others, we'll never be your enemies. You can trust us, and we'll do what we can to protect you.
pyromaniash: (smile)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-12 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
...my unit, huh?

[ something about that concept resonates with him as he considers tenn's words thoughtfully. ]

I don't know how easily I can pretend this situation is something I'm okay with, but there's some comfort to be found in knowing there are people who have my back.

[ He nods, understanding. ]

That seems to be the case with most. You don't need to be okay with the situation, but- if you aren't okay with your unit, then you're going to have a problem.

... "Artemis", by the way.
pyromaniash: (wrong)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-12 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm going by "Agni". Apparently.

The members of this unit that I've met so far seem agreeable. If we're meant to look out for each other, then I'll do my best to protect you, too.
heavenlyvisitor: (012)

[personal profile] heavenlyvisitor 2019-11-13 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah - That's good to hear. I'm glad that you're agreeable, too.

You, the other green-haired boy, and the blanket monster all appeared at once. Before you — and one short-lived other — I was the newest member, even if I've been here for awhile. Having some cute kouhais is a little exciting.
pyromaniash: (serious2)

[ glances over at the mess of his room.... ]

Is that what you consider cute?
heavenlyvisitor: (065)

[personal profile] heavenlyvisitor 2019-11-16 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
...No, not the unit image.
pyromaniash: (oh no)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-18 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't think so.

...this "unit image" may be a bit much for me to uphold.
heavenlyvisitor: (089)

[personal profile] heavenlyvisitor 2019-11-19 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Eeh -- If you don't, there are difficulties.

It's difficult, in turn, to uphold something like this, but ... it's also easy enough. You can wear a sweater a few sizes too large, as long as it's cute.
pyromaniash: (tired)

[personal profile] pyromaniash 2019-11-21 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
I... guess I can do that.

Do I have to try and behave "cute" too, or is it only appearance?
heavenlyvisitor: (013)

[personal profile] heavenlyvisitor 2019-11-24 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
If you act "cute" in games, you'll gain more points, though it's not needed. ... It's overbearing, our image, so you can fight it, if you want.
