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. ]

[Well, this is awkward. Nya is dressed up fancy, and uh... yes he actually has horns and a tail, but more importantly than that, he is staring at this very tall boy for awhile, stunned to silence for a moment.]

Y-you... remember me? Already?

[????

???????????????

????!?!?!

silently, he moves his fingers between himself and the horned and tailed boy pointing to each in turn, his diva groove briefly put on hold because that is the last questions he was expecting]

Do we...know each other?

[??????!?!?!?!?!?!]

[Ah. Okay, so he didn't. You know, he doesn't remember Eikichi well yet, only having gotten a couple of memories which included him SO FAR, but he knows that he's around whenever Tatsuya is, so!]

...Ah...

I mean, once upon a time, maybe.

So you DON'T remember me, then. That's... okay. That's fine. W-well it's nice to meet you. Again.

[once upon a time, maybe?]

Does it have to do with the memories we're missing?

[suddenly the game is a lot less important. maybe. he'll still find a way to do his objective!!]

Nice to meet you too...I think?

[He nods at that. The game is certainly important for Nya, but whatever. This one doesn't have to do with killing, so he is going to be chill for now.]

Yeah. We come in with none of those, but you can buy them back, one at a time... I've seen you in mine.

Ah, I'm Nya, by the way.

[He still isn't super keep on being called Jun yet.]

[IS IT MAYBE HE HAS TAKE HIS LIFE AS HIS GOAL...okay no he does not, thankfully. he is taking this news a little too calmly.]

Ahhhh....that does make sense.

Nice to meet you, Nya [maybe short for nyan? he won't judge]. Death Boss' my stage name, but call me Hades. Uhh...where your memories of me pleasant, at least?

[Nya tries and fails to look Chill at that question. He remembers trying to kill him PRETTY VIVIDLY.

But he also remembers him trying to protect him from that metal version of his mother, too. So not ALL BAD???]

Oh, yes. We were good friends, it seems. [Also it is short for Nyarlathotep because his life is a cosmic joke.]

I think we've known each other for a long time, but I don't know many specifics, sorry. Hades is a nice name, though. One of my unitmates is named Persephone~

((OOC: also this will be his outfit for now and he had it on this entire time))

[uh oh...maybe he should step a little back from the other's reaction...or maybe not??? this is weird. memories are probably weird he's not sure if he wants any back if that's how this guy is reacting.

should he believe him? maybe it's way to pull him for whatever the other's goal is...

well what does he have to loose? apart from his life...]

It's okay. You already remember more than me. Maybe I can get a memory back later and we can compare notes? [he lights up at the name] Is that so?

[tell him more? are they single? are they pretty? does he have a chance?]

[Nya certainly doesn't seem overly keen on like..... touching him. So it's probably fine. For now? Sure. It's fine.]

Well, I've been here for longer! That is just a given. I'm guessing you just got here.

Oh, yes. Haha, I wonder how you two would get along. He seems quite shy, but is always happy to make a cup of tea and sit with you.

[Maybe that's just because they were on the same unit. Nya doesn't know.]

Do you think maybe having names like that means anything?

[oh boy how dead will he be when he tries to steal the other's shoes...at least right now he's distracted by potential lost friendships and potential boyfriends?! maybe.]

Yeah that's me. It feels like I should know more but...[it's so confusing. at least he didn't lose anything vital to how he should function.] Well, you never know. I've been a big fan of star-crossed lovers, different personality types, different units with names that match...seems almost too good to be true.

Then again I'm sure there's plenty of that already happening.

[he wouldn't be surprised anyway.]

Do you...mind if I ask you a personal question?

[it's going to involve his horns and the tail, especially when his eyes briefly dart to the top of nya's head]

[Nya super doesn't have the heart to tell him that Persephone is taken once he starts talking about star-crossed lovers and all that... so he won't. Who knows what will happen, anyway??? That's Persephone's problem now.]

Aha... yes, there's quite a bit of that here. [It can become inconvenient!]

Uhhh. Sure?

[HE FEELS A LITTLE SELF CONSCIOUS ABOUT THEM NOW. THANKS.]

[awww but you were the one who talked about this beautiful boy and--okay, okay, it's entirely hades' fault and he will have to learn the hard way that not all romantic dreams and having an instant crush on someone just because of the name is a good idea. truly, it is persephone's problem now.]

Well, you know how it is with love-starved teenagers.

[says the love-starved teenager. if it helps, hades doesn't seem to want to make this into something bad?]

Okay so...I just wanted to know, were we demons back home? The horns and tail look pretty good on you and they'd totally fit my group's image!

[in fact, he seems to be pretty into it.]

Love-starved.... is... a really nice and proper way of saying it. [Nya has absolutely no room to say anything so he's going to just LET THAT HANG THERE.

Instead he's going to get flustered a little and blush a lot at being complimented because hey that is not what he's used to.]

Ah, uh, n-no! We weren't demons back home, though they were around. At least, I don't THINK we were? Well, we could have been, but there were no horns or anything involved that I could see.

Well, I could say something about going it like rabbits, or using handcuffs and ropes but you know...

[wink? ~~don't let it all hang out nya~~. he snaps his fingers, looking a little disappointed.]

Awww...well...maybe it's something in your future you haven't gone to yet? Maybe I could get a memory back and know for sure or something. How does that work anyway?

[That just makes him blush more!!! Hey, don't do this to him??? He's a proper boy(sometimes), who keeps his things too himself(mostly). Also he feels like he should definitely not be being winked at by Eikichi. He's not sure if their relationship was like that??? But who knows, honestly.]

Ehhh ahh... uhm... y-you just...

I mean, you use your phone. And buy it on the points shop, if you've got the points for it.

[probably not? but like that would stop a boy that doesn't remember what type of relationship they had.]

So it's like some sort of game? Too bad I'm currently stuck with nothing ♪. I guess I gotta grow like a tree and make points...

[no matter with memories or not, he will continue to mess up sayings.]

[OOC: Yeah we're just having a big week-long game that's been SUCKING ME UP IN IT, so I have many threads lol. Sorry I'm so slow because I've been eaten by the Hunger Games]

You...

Mmmhh... Close enough. Well, if you complete your goal here, you'll get some points, no problem. This whole thing is one big game, but like... not fun... for the players. Just fun to watch, usually.

Jun what happened

Demons, man. Demons.

So on par for the course got it (does it mean Eikichi could end up with bike handles on his side)

yes absolutely, if he just.... does a big die

dying to look like a weremotorcycle sounds legit

That sounds like Eikichi's style anyway! :U

the true question is will his hair be blue and will it be natural in this world...

MAYBE!!! Anything is possible if you try hard and believe in yourself!

Eikichi is good at that (and failing but at least he tried)

We love him anyway ;u;
