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. ]
Prompts 5: Wildcard
Feel free to make your own prompt. Here is a link to specific unit information, if you would like to use it as inspiration.
((If you would also like to take the opportunity to join us on our discord channel, it is open here!))

Shin-Ah | Akatsuki no Yona
[This guy is sitting off to the side poking at his phone curiously. He’s having no problem navigating the phone, but he does look rather perplexed.]
What...are roombas?
[so he’s probably not the one who dislikes those. Not that it’s narrowed down much.]
2
[He is currently squatting in a corner watching people walk by...and staring intently at their shoes. Like maybe he’s trying to figure out how to steal them?? He’s not sure he’s phantom thief material honestly. But anyway now it’s your shoes he’s staring intently at.]

Quatre / GBF
[ this memory is just a small catboy screaming his goddamn head off ('I'll fucking kill you' 'crawl on your stomach and spill your guts, vermin!' 'shitty cowards' so forth and so on) while slaughtering what's clearly members of the mafia. ]
Well, this will make first impressions.
3
[ ever wanted to get kabe-don by a catboy who looks you dead in the eye seriously. ]
Kiss me.

What?
no subject
[ he spends far too long reading his phone, maybe he's a slow reader and then looks up and carefully examines everyone in the room. the soul-searching kind of examination.
but he stays silent. he's just. that kind of guy really. ]
4
[ he starts sorting the fanmail by name, meticulously piling them up and if you happen to walk by and if you happen to walk by he'll probably ask "Excuse me, are you [ name ]" in an attempt to find the fanmail its proper home. ]

Rean Schwarzer | Trails of Cold Steel
[So a dark haired young man with ~fuschia~ eyes is just looking at his cell phone entirely lost. He sighs and tries scrolling through the options but each is as ambiguous as the last.]
If this is some kind of joke someone has a terrible sense of humor.
2
[Anyway so this (up to 9:46) has been broadcast to your phone. Not included in the link is the actual, you know, BL smut that's being read in the memory but the hardcore BL smut being read is included in the memory you get to see so enjoy that.
Meanwhile this guy looks very red.]
Oh....
4
[Some inner helpful quest completionist urge has compelled him to sort the stacks of mail and now he's going around asking everyone their name or where to find you know, whoever is on the current letter he's holding.]
Excuse me.

konoha akinori | haikyuu
[ This guy is sitting in a corner, scrolling through the phone with intent. He doesn't remember hating roombas, but then again... he doesn't really remember anything at all!
Isn't this perfect. ]
Be pretty cool if I mud wrestled God. But that would be a long shot, I think?
3
[ Sorry, unlucky person! All the warning you will get is a tap on the shoulder.
Someone is here to trip you and steal your shoes. Because that is how this game works. ]
4
[ He's totally into snooping into the fanmail of other people. ]
"Just come over and step right on my face", wow. These are pretty passionate.
[ Someone stop him from just reading them all??? ]

Excuse me. It's impolite to read letters that aren't addressed to you.

Tateyama Ayano | Kagerou Project
[A new Heart Soldier Senshi has arrived which I can do because this is a test drive, this is the third red one now, and she just looks so excited to see everyone.]
Wooow, some of these stories are so cool! I want to mud wrestle god too, an ultimate showdown! Aaah, and look at this, that’s so heartbreaking, I wonder who lost their sister? What if it’s me?
Don’t worry long lost sister! Onee-chan won’t rest until you’re back in her arms.
2
[A heartfelt sibling introduction]
Uwaaah! Look at that! They’re all so cute! I do have a long lost sister to reunite with - and brothers. That brother is here! It worked.
3
From hero to thief, a shocking twist in genre. Alright everyone, it’s time to get your phantom thief masks on and get ready, I need recruits to help me get that statue out of here.
2
A..ah... Neechan now everyone knows how small and cute I was.

Ogata Hyakunosuke | Golden Kamuy
[ there's a man sitting in Wild City's main area, scrolling through his phone with a rather unimpressed look on his face. or maybe his face just naturally sits like that, a neutral-looking line. ]
I doubt any of these are me, personally. Or they have the wrong person.
[ both seem like they could apply. ]
4
[ he's apparently seemed to have found a decent pile fanmail might have been intended for him -- there's little cat doodles on some, with lines mimicking his face scars, others in general praising some mysterious idols' cool gaze that could strike me down an instant and I'd be okay with it.
Ogata seems to more be doing it out of curiosity than anything but when he does come across another letter -- no name included, but it's a rather scathing one commenting on a mysterious idol's poor performance in their last vid, but by the way if they're dating anyone the letter-writer will find and kill them -- Ogata takes this one and if you happen to be passing by he's spin-tossing it at your head, with deadly accuracy. ]
This one's not for me.
3, violence cw
[ the tasks in this game seem to range from harmless to quite literally deadly, and some may have gotten lucky with the more harmless ones. there's enough of a commotion while everyone goes about trying to complete them anyone who might be aiming for the more lethal ones could stand a chance to get away with it, especially with the building modeled to look like an art museum.
so the sound of footsteps behind you, of a man lifting his hand up to cover your mouth and try tug you behind a curtain might not even be noticed by anyone surrounding. ]

nito nazuna | ensemble stars!
[ at least on this guy's end it was definitely intentional - what's broadcasted on stage is a performance of the idol group Valkyrie. The production is grand - there are only three performers but they take up the whole stage with their dance, perfectly in tune to the music like clockwork, as if they were more a life-sized dancing music box than human dancers on stage. the performer in the hat seems to be the lead with the two accompanying him, though only the blonde performer sings with him. when the performance finishes, the leader gives his parting words - a bold declaration of their impeccable performance as Valkyrie - with the air of a triumphant victor, before the three leave the stage.
when the broadcast has turned off, the same blonde performer lets his eyes linger on the television for a brief moment, a sort of complicated mix of emotions on his face though the clearest one is some sort of bitter pride - before he turns, abruptly, to you. yes, you. ]
. . . And that's what an idol performance should be looking like. Not that last Game - so don't start treating this farce like that's what idols are supposed to do! That's an insult to our pride, you know!
[ he's probably a unitmate of yours? ]
4
[ he's filtering out his own mail as well as his own unit's - yours too, maybe? - from everyone else's while grousing. something about how this is a really haphazard way to do things, but while he's indignant at first, his mood is discernibly getting worse as he keeps reading the ones meant for himself before setting them into a separate pile from the rest of his unit's. if you pick any of them up, a lot of them have a few pretty distinct phrases in them - "so cute!" or "just want to protect him!" or "lock him up in the basement and never let him leave!" . . . and while not all of these letters are addressed to the same person, a significant portion of them seem to be this guy's fanmail. as that pile grows, his mood grows worse too, and he becomes quieter and quieter, less animated in his movements - almost resigned. he's so focused here, he hasn't even noticed you around yet. ]
Re: nito nazuna | ensemble stars!
[ huh. .... this unitmate just kind of looks stupefied. but also ]
I'm kind of glad we don't have to do that....

M4 SOPMOD-II | Girl's Frontline
[ there's some woman in either BAD END=DEAD END or avante en garde's dorm, idly tapping at her phone. immediately noticable is that her hands and forearms are entirely mechanical, and also she has a pair of anntenae sticking out from the sides of her heads like horns.
her head is tilted in confusion, as she grows visibly more frustrated. ]
Aaah! None of these are me! I think! This is so stupid.
3, w/ murder and shit
[ so if you were having fun with this game it's time to stop because there's a metal ass metal fist slamming into the back of your head
nbd, you can dodge right? ]
4
[ honestly seems to be 100% happy with this mail, none of which is actually addressed to her. she doesn't seem to have noticed that, though, since she's in particular fawning over the 'you're valid uwu' letter ]
That's right! I didn't do anything wrong!

Quinn Quentes | OC
[A scruffy teenage girl with dark green hair and gold eyes is nervously scrolling through the profiles, apparently unaware that anyone else may have woken up in the dorm with her]
Ah... It would be k-kind of c-cool to wrestle God...I think...
2.
[Broadcast on every nearby screen is a night-time cityscape, seen from the roof of a fairly tall building. A figure in a hoodie with a green cloth wrapped over the lower half of her face stands at the edge of the roof, gazing coldly at the bustle and lights below. Thunder cracks overhead. Clouds roil ominously. If only she had a bat-themed cape to make the allusion complete.
Suddenly! The figure's head snaps to the left. Without another pause, she twists and drops off the edge of the roof, grabbing the edge with one hand, which she uses to swing her legs to a rusty drainpipe...and she's off, parkouring her way toward whatever it was that caught her attention.
Fade to black.]
Th...T-that... Is that r-really me...
Wildcard (pep!pep! - yeah I know they're not in-game yet shhh)
[Wherever you are, a dark green blur suddenly WHIPS right past you at alarming speed, followed by a helpless yell and crash as Quinn tries out her super speed for the first time.
Or maybe she crashes right into you at high speed. Either way, Hilarious Superspeed Fail is happening.]
AhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Hak | Akatsuki no Yona
[when you're the new guy, you should be ready and willing to get as many points a possible--he would think, but instead he's just staring at the giant statue, taking it in.]
... nope. Too much effort. I forfeit.
[this new avante en guard just doesn't seem to have the motivation.]
4.
[said new guy is currently poking around at the mail, not even really minding if it doesn't have his name on it, reading out what's written in a loud enough voice that you can probably hear him when he comes across one of yours--it's definitely an embarrassing fanmail he's reading.]
--oh. This one has lewd drawings.

Marie-Josèphe Sanson | Innocent Rouge
well. this tall and handsome person (on closer inspection, probably a young woman?) certainly has no idea what's going on, and looks just about as put out about it as you might expect. this sucks. they grimace, staring at the phone. ]
This sucks.
no subject
[ At least there are heights printed on the bulk of these. Any hints are worthwhile, worth considering - so she's being approached by another woman, much smaller than her, with the tape measure in her hand. ]
If you would remain still for a moment, I would be very appreciative. I'd like to compare your measurements to those listed here.
