Who: ~idols~
Where: the game tower
When: day 40, early afternoon

[ the game tower elevators are marked with unit names again, which might have started being ominous at this point. once everyone's filed in and the doors close behind you, the rules pop up on your phones, and Mukuro's face pops up on the screen, waving his arms. as always, it's a close-up shot that shows just his upper torso, and his kimono is pulled snugly closed over his chest. ]

Welcome back, everyone~! For today's program, we've invited back the new and ever-popular amnesia-roman generation of ImePro idols! This is a "starter game" for the just-debuted unit pep!pep!, so please cheer for them extra loud, from the bo~ttom of your hearts ♥!

To give them a gentle intro, the rules this time are very simple! Just poison others and don't get poisoned!

[ the screen flicks off, and the elevators shudder to a stop and let you out into your rooms. ]

What's that look for?

[asonoficeandfire]

We ended up just hitting ourselves. It feels a little... ridiculous.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

More ridiculous than being forced to dance like a puppet on a string for heaven and hell's minions?

[asonoficeandfire]

No.

[sigh]

At least it's over now.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Learned what you needed to in order to make more informed decisions next game?

[asonoficeandfire]

Of course.

[I didn't drink the dumb potions but hey]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Good. The sooner you're able to make your own informed decisions sooner, the better.

[asonoficeandfire]

This game was for a more a team based decision though, was it not? But yes, I agree.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Does that somehow disqualify you from having an opinion?

[asonoficeandfire]

[raises an eyebrow]

No. And I did have opinions.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And again, good. The more you develop your 'brand', the less chance the producers will ship you off to a less desirable show.

[asonoficeandfire]

"Brand"?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

The kind of idol you want to be. The cameras aren't just for show. And I'd say your out-of-game performance is just as, if not more important than your in-game performance.

[asonoficeandfire]

Can I not be myself? I might not have memories, but I do have distinctive feelings about things.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If you know who you are.

[asonoficeandfire]

So without memories, we have no personality, is what you are saying.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

On the contrary, I’m actually saying the opposite. It’s quite refreshing to find someone else who doesn’t use their memories as a crutch.

[asonoficeandfire]

I can't rely on or refer to them until I regain them either way. There is no point in staying passive and unopinionated from fear of being inconsistent with whatever "true self" I'd be with my mind intact.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Man, he likes you more and more every conversation, Duality]

If you did turn out differently from the "you" in your memories, which one would you consider the "true self" anyway?

[asonoficeandfire]

[well it's better than the opposite. he says the next thing slowly, as if he's feeling it out]

Experiences... shape people, correct? I can't tell now who I'd be in the future.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh. Are you so sure about that?

Going to leave all the work up to "experiences"? Or are you going to take that blank canvas and make your own goddamn painting?

[asonoficeandfire]

No, I'm not sure about it, but it's a possibility. But I'm not going to let someone else dictate my own choices.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

No matter what?

[asonoficeandfire]

To the best of my ability.
