Who: Heart Soldier Senshi and LOCKED OUT VISITORS
Where: HSS dorms
When: Day 58 afternoon

[SO. . . THERE'S A WEIRD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE DORM'S FRONT DOOR]

[anyone on the outside of the dorm who is trying to visit HSS will notice that the door is shaking. a lot? but anyone on HSS who is currently inside the dorm may notice a new arrival dressed in plaid pajama pants and a long-sleeved, cotton shirt that's slightly too big for him grasping at the doorknob and rattling it. like. . . he's trying to force it open, or something]

[because he is]

[HELLO TEAM HOW ARE YOU THIS AFTERNOON]

[eta: AND EVENTUALLY HE ESCAPES. how are you doing today, Fauxkyo!!]

[hi, there's a Boss actually standing on the ground, watching this nonsense with crossed arms and a small frown]

[... Blinks. Looks back and forth between the two of them, really noticing stuff now like how Boss is dressed as-expected, while amateur-parkour-Boss's jammie-jams are the wrong colors entirely.

Sighs! Dramatically, with his entire body, then wanders over to Bad End Boss.]

So... This kinda thing happens?

There's been people with similar faces...

Persephone and Lucifel on sensitIV.

Phoenix on Bad End and Kirin on avante.

Nine-Nine on Bad End and Anubis on sensitIV.

It happens.

[still fucking weird tho]

Wait, what? Kirin and Phoenix are like this? Damn... No wonder I keep mixing them up, haha..!

Anyway... Is it just looks?

I think everyone with doubles is "just looks".

[but he is... frowning a bit.

...

ok. he usually doesn't but pulling up twin's profile and OH GOD WHY THAT NAME THO]

... debating if that's the case here.

[117, huh...]

[ leans over his shoulder to look, instead of doing something logical like pulling it up on his own phone. The name doesnt mean anything to him, of course, but he can infer.]

He might actually be you, you mean?

Maybe.

They assigned me the name "Prisoner" and him the name "Warden", which feels like a bad joke that would work if we have similar enough backgrounds.

... Man, that's pretty bad taste if they did that specifically for you, but yeah, makes sense.

You... Gonna try to talk to him?

Maybe.

... he's being stubborn but I think I know the kind of stubborn. So... maybe.

Ha... I'd hope that if anybody was gonna know, it'd be you!

I dunno how I'd react, honestly, in his place...

To having a double?

... yeah, I dunno how to react, either. Except treat him like any other new kid. He's an amnesiac, after all.

Sure, I guess so. I just meant, from his perspective. You've got memories and know stuff about this place, so you've definitely got an advantage...

Oh, that.

... yeah, he's probably pretty freaked out, but doesn't wanna let it show.

The only reason I didn't freak out as bad is because literally everyone I met after I woke up also woke up when I did and were freaking out.

[shrugs a bit?]

Sure, I get it! It's easier if you're all figuring stuff out together. But who knows, maybe it'll be like, "I trust myself".

... yeah, there's some of that, too.

[but enough games kind of... puts a few dents into that sort of feeling]

Is it weird to wonder if you're gonna be friends? Do you wanna be his friend?

... well, I want him to be okay.

But I also know he's not going to be okay in this place.

Aw, c'mon... Sure, a lot of garbage and bad shit seems to haooen here, but just saying he won't be okay is a little...

I mean, are you doing that bad? You wanna talk about it?

[this is the stare of someone who doesn't even know where to begin with the room of dirty laundry and closet skeletons.]

... not really.

I just mean... he's pretty indepdendent. But this place doesn't have much in the ways of freedoms. So... it'll be hard on him. Probably. Since he's so stubborn, he'd probably break all the bones in his body before admitting that he can't get through a wall.

[gestures at how new guy keeps. trying to climb. and falls.]

[ That makes him laugh, but it's not mocking, more just... What else does one do.]

Well, I think both of you will figure out how to work in the system and be okay. I dunno! There's stubborn, and then there's stupid, and you don't seem stupid! I believe in you man, don't let this place get you down.

[except he's plenty stupid so uh.]

Yeah... I never plan to.
