A new edgy kohai

[searingedgelord]

Who: BAD END=DEAD END
Where: BE=DE dorms
When: Day 26

[So there's a new door in the BE=DE dorm and it's suddenly banging open. There's a young woman standing there, wearing a tank top and pajama shorts. And she. She looks kinda pissed, honestly.]

What the hell is going on?

Comments

[criminaljustice]

[... oh hay, a newbie.

chill dude just waving.]

Guess this is a regular thing, now.

[searingedgelord]

[Is not chill.]

What is?

[criminaljustice]

New amnesiacs to participate in performing without our idol unit.

[... yeah.]

[searingedgelord]

Nothing you just said makes sense.

[well the amnesiac part does, since she has noticed her lack of memories, but. Nothing else did.]

[criminaljustice]

It'll sound a little weird. But basically, we've all been kidnapped, amnesia'd, and put onto units with the expectation of performing for an unseen audience all the time, every day. Literally. Cameras everywhere.

[can't escape them.]

Welcome to Tokyo-F.

[searingedgelord]

[this all sounds really ridiculous, but also]

What are cameras?

[criminaljustice]

[... uh.

got him there.]

You know pictures? Photos?

[searingedgelord]

What, like a painting?

[criminaljustice]

... yes.

So imagine a painting that shows you an event as it happens. Moving and everything like the event is happening.

That's what cameras do. Record what happens.

[searingedgelord]

...That’s creepy.

[but, ok, fine, everything about this is creepy, so sure.]

[criminaljustice]

Yep.

[everything is creepy. good instinct.]

[searingedgelord]

[She really has the strongest urge to like punch something]

So, now what?

[criminaljustice]

Now... I guess if you want, Phoenix can show you how to figure out your profile and whether you want to keep the name you were assigned.

I was assigned the name Prisoner. I prefer being called Boss.

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, I bet you do.

[Prisoner is a pretty shit name. But “Boss,” really.]

[criminaljustice]

[shrugs a bit]

It's what stuck. I had the options of Badass and Hardcore once.

[searingedgelord]

[......Good lord, she is going to bully you forever.]

Trying pretty hard, huh, pipsqueak.

[criminaljustice]

[no bully

... pipsqueak...]

Oni was the one who suggested those. I turned them down.

[searingedgelord]

[forever bully. It’s how she shows affection.]

And Boss?

[criminaljustice]

That was Nine-Nine. Boss of the Prisoners or something like that.

[searingedgelord]

Well, it’s less ridiculous than the other two, I admit.

[criminaljustice]

And now you see how I became Boss.

[searingedgelord]

Okay, maybe I’ll use it sometimes.

[“sometimes”]
