TEST DRIVE!
Prompt 1: Amnesia
[ You woke up, all your memories having vacated you. Well, that sucks. But hey, no time like the present to go out and figure out things. Maybe someone in your smartphone contacts knows you or what's going on. You open up your smartphone's lock screen and-- hey, that looks relevant. Profile pages! It has your unit name, member names, but no pictures. . .
Well, the rest varies. This one says Likes: Industrial Strength cleaning products, Breakbeat hardcore, Volleyball shorts and Dislikes: Roombas, Electro-industrial, Maid Outfits. The next has a thrilling tale that concludes with the idol mud-wrestling God, though it doesn't mention if they won or not. The third says that the member became an idol because they want to use the television and media attention to get the notice of their long lost sister, and reunite their family. The fourth just has someone's three sizes. The fifth has a detailed astrological profile.
Since no one remembers their names and there's no pictures to match it to, this is actually less helpful than you hoped. And furthermore, the doors aren't opening until you and the rest of the amnesiacs on this unit tell it who is who. Looks like you and the rest of these people have to discuss which of you is more likely to have mud-wrestled god, and who joined because they really want to find their long-lost sister. Or you can just use the tape-measure that was left sitting on the main table of the center room, that might be a quick way to settle at least one of these things. ]
Prompt 2: Memory Regain
[ You saved up your points, performing in Games or Lives or Vids, something or other until you had enough points to put the order in.
You didn't really know how to expect a memory to look like, but as it turns out there's just an alert on your app. Once you click it, a playback starts-- on the screen, and in your mind. You remember something now.
However, in buying the cheap version, that just broadcasted to several other people's phones in the area as well as all screens in the area. Cool. That was definitely what you were trying to do. ]
Prompt 3: Game Time
[ Welcome to the Game Tower. Today's game is a sort of mad fake phantom thief free-for-all. You arrived, were given top hats and cloaks, and the inside floor of the tower had been remodeled to resemble an art museum, with a giant roulette wheel right by the elevator you exited. Below that was a little slot, where today's hologram host explained the wheel would spit out a slip with a goal just for you.
So you have a little slip of paper with a goal on it, and no way of knowing what anyone else's goals are, though you did see the big roulette wheel being spun at the beginning letting you know the some of the possibilities:♚Steal a heart
♚Steal a life
♚Steal an object
♚Steal a kiss
♚Steal someone's clothes
♚Steal someone's shoes
♚Steal a secret
♚Steal the giant statue from the center of the museum
♚Steal the portrait that depicts your true love
...well, waiting around isn't going to get you any points. Get to it, temporary phantom thief! ]
Prompts 4: Fanmail
[ Today, trying to take the elevators up from the lobby to access the apartments you and the other units live in just isn't working. Upon the doors being pried open, you found out why quickly: the elevator shaft was jammed up with fan mail, so it couldn't properly descend. Letters cascades out from between the open doors: letters from people who watch you play games, do lives, make vids, and probably all sorts of other things on those omnipresent cameras.
Are you really going to read these? Though right at your feet, a few have spilled from their envelopes. Now you can't help but read those. Here's one in purple glitter pen that says, jesus just come into my home and strangle me with your hair and one that is written with newspaper cut out letters (alarmingly reminiscent of a calling card written by a serial killer) that reads incongruently hello my soft best child ur good and valid and I love you forever plz be ok don't listen 2 the haterz u have done nothing wrong. Oh, and here's one asking if you can wear tighter pants for your next live, they want a better shot of your ass for their shrine. This one just says MARRIED?
Well, it's just as well you have no idea who those were for. Most this fanmail isn't for you. Except for the few that you just read, they're all labeled in envelopes for different people from all the units. Time to read other people's fanmail. Or try and find them and deliver the fanmail. Or just start a big fire in the middle of the lobby, you could do that too. ]

Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
[She is SO tired of body suits.]
If you're that worried about it, I'll just pick out something for myself. All I need is for you to pay for it when we leave. I'll even pay you back for it.
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
Oh--that would be nice. I don't have too many points yet. But our clothes are usually pretty loose. You might like them...
[She's still a little awkward, social interaction is hard even if she does want to help! Looks around before trudging over to the Lilis-y section.]
Here... We have dresses. And sweaters, and such things.
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
A little old-timey, but you know what? I'll take it.
[She'll pick out something on the darker end of things.]
Could you do me a favor and buy these so I can change into them right away? I'm so over this hero schtick.
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
--well, moves to take the dress off the rack, but unless Shoka is a little under 4'7, it's probably taller than Sussuro herself. Giving her an embarrassed look.]
... I'll pay at the checkout. Can you take it there?
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
Sure. Carrying my own stuff is the least I could do.
[Carrying it over to the register and then waiting for Sus expectantly!]
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
She follows, walking a little faster to stay in step. At least paying is easier because she's bought things before.]
Mm... There you go. I hope you like it.
[Wait Shoka already chose it herself so she probably DOES like it already. Fuck. !!! Sussurro looks a little flustered again, but bravely plunges on.]
It's true that your unit's clothes are very... unusual. I think I would be nervous about standing out so much. And it can be dangerous to wear tight clothes all the time, because it can affect your bloodflow. I hope the Producers take that into account.
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
Gee, health freak much?
[...But then, by way of actual explanation:]
It's not dangerous. Well, not physically, anyway. Can't say the same for our nerd levels, unfortunately.
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
Health is very important. And it's the small things that can have the biggest effect in the future, especially if you neglect them over a long time. That's why you should be mindful of whether you're resting enough, eating enough, things like that.
[The second part makes her pause a little, though.]
... Mm. I can't say I know many people like that. There were some... colourful people in my memories, but I wouldn't call them 'nerds'. But they're very dedicated to their work.
[Does that count as being a nerd.]
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
[She really just doesn't stop with the sarcasm, huh.]
Anyway, our aesthetic is all about looking like the biggest dorks in the room, so thanks for giving me the option of putting that off for a day. You're a real life saver.
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
... It's exactly because we're forced to do such things that we should pay attention to our state. Many terrible things happen on the battlefield, but the simple things outside it help recovery.
[She's silent for a moment, lost in her own thoughts; she's taken exactly One (1) memory and it was not... enjoyable. But it was enlightening.]
But I'm glad I could help with the clothes. If you ever need any more, I am often at LiliS.
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
[A BATTLEFIELD doctor, but still! She doesn't fight, therefore!]
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
Re: C, pls pardon my lack of icons, cries
That's why you should listen to me. Well, you always should listen to your doctor. But if these games can get as messy as war, every little bit of preparation helps.
