[ Hey! Hey, Future is Now!

• You are locked in your dorms. Or out, if you weren't already there.
• There is a loud THUD coming from the living room area.

WHAT DO YOU DO? ]

[takes it! and true to his word, puts in the selected teal before starting to search for accessibility options.]

Do you happen to recall your name?

[boomgoesthebirdy]

[ The bird kid tilts his head as he hears the click of the doors unlocking upon the finalization of the colour, listening for a moment before responding. ]

Nah, it just so happens I'm in the market for something new. Unless "Hey-you" is a valid option, but the joke might wear out pretty quickly.

[rainshaveceased]

It might indeed.

Our unit has a tradition of sorts, of selecting attributes as names. I am Dignity, and our unitmates are Levity, Chivalry Luminosity, and Felicity.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

A theme, huh? It sounds a bit fancy but I like it.

[ He taps a finger on his chin as he considers. ]

Maybe..... "Combustibility"? Or wait, that doesn't shorten easily.... "Tranquility"? "Equanimity"?

[rainshaveceased]

Are those words that strike a chord with you?

[boomgoesthebirdy]

"Combustability" definitely does.

[ He thinks for a moment, then snaps his fingers. ]

Wait, I know! "Tenacity!"

[rainshaveceased]

[nods approvingly]

A fine trait, and a fine choice for a name.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Heck yeah! I think I like how it feels. And hey, a name's one step closer to figuring everything else out.

[rainshaveceased]

It certainly is. For further steps, you will be able to purchase back your memories one by one.

[holds out the phone]

There. It should have the correct settings now.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

[ He reaches for the phone, waving his hand around slightly until he finds the exact location. ]

Thanks, that'll make it a lot easier to use.

[ Then the first part catches up to him. ]

—Wait, you can buy your memories back?

[rainshaveceased]

Indeed. Part of our roles "idols" is to participate in games and put on other forms of entertainment for our audience. As a reward, we receive points that are used as currency. Among the things they can buy are memories.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Kinda sucks we have to buy back what was ours to begin with, but it's better than not getting 'em back at all, so sounds like we're breaking even there. As long as we're entertaining, anyway. Which I feel like I can pull off.

[rainshaveceased]

I should warn you, the games can be quite unpleasant. They often include invasions of our privacy or outright violence.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Okay, not too put too fine a point on things despite my own lack of personal experience, but can I just say I'm really not a fan of that? Not at all.

[rainshaveceased]

I doubt anyone is.

[boomgoesthebirdy]

Yeah, it'd probably say some disturbing things about 'em if anyone was.

[rainshaveceased]

Indeed.

[inwardly sweats in ascian]

[boomgoesthebirdy]

[ Poor Gigi, #AscianLife is so misunderstood. ]

Anyway, thanks for all the help. I appreciate the intro to my brand new life as an amnesiac superstar.

[rainshaveceased]

Full glad am I to be of assistance. If you have any further questions, please ask.
