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. ]

Amnesia;

[what the fuck?? most all of these options are awful. he doesn't want to be any of these people. well, except maybe—]

Dibs on having mud wrestled God.

Game Time;

[steal a kiss? psshh, that's easy! all he'd have to do is find an attractive looking guy, aannddd.... a-ha. target acquired.

he taps his target on the shoulder, and as soon as they turn around, they're getting a smooch right on the mouth with no preamble, as this does have to be a stolen kiss after all. oops? ;0]


Fanmail;

[sitting with a couple of letters set in front of him, but most notable of his haul is the weird looking doll in his hands, made to crudely look like him, assembled out of.... hair? possibly??? whatever it is, his expression is scrunched in deep distaste.]

1. Amnesia

[Except she doesn't have amnesia. But that just means this should be easy, right? She's looking over the profiles with the most distraught confusion anyone can wear on their face.]

...O-oh I suppose I never have been a fan of maid uniforms... but I don't really have an opinion on Industrial Strength Cleaning Products or roombas... But I suppose I wouldn't call what I did mud wrestling... Aha... Maybe the measurements are me? These profiles are confusing.

3. Game Time

S-steal?! That's!!! Uuugh... [Is she going to get in trouble? She doesn't want to bother. It sounds like more work than it's worth, but...]

F-fine. I wonder if they even have portraits of them...

4. Fanmail

[Venus is just the picture of an old victorian woman, about to collapse upon a fainting couch as she reads some of the fanmail, her hand over her heart and her eyes wide as she sweats with secondhand embarrassment.]

Are they always like this? This is awful!

D-dibs...? You can't just pick one and decide it's yours, can you...? [Look, Venus is pretty sure she did not mud wrestle God but she is cool with anyone who would. She just wants to know for sure!] Um. Maybe we could start by measuring ourselves first. That one is probably easy to figure out.

1. Amnesia

[ she's maybe in her late twenties, sweet features, black hair, which she's in the middle of tying up into a ponytail. ]

Aah, I must be ill...

...have I been rescued? What do I owe you?

4. Fanmail

What, nothing?

[ she actually seems a little affronted, looking through the unit mail pile. ]

[personal profile] endurism 2019-10-28 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[She really doesn't want to engage at all with anyone here but lbr that's a hard thing to ignore.]

... What would you call it?
endurism: (Meme's by mark)

Konoha Shizumi | Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica

[personal profile] endurism 2019-10-28 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
3.

[ So Konoha's slip of paper, held close but not so close that it can't be read by someone who's sneaky and looks over her shoulder, reads "Steal a life." She is indeed that unlucky sod!

... Except, well, she seems to be considering it quite seriously........

If she notices someone there, though, she jumps. ]

I... could never! [uh huh, sure]

4.

[What Konoha is most concerned with, immediately, is:]

These are very poorly packaged. [DO BETTER AT SEALING YOUR ENVELOPES!!

She reaches down to pick one up and...pauses.... as her eyes scan the words..........]

... On second thought, where is a shredder...?

fanmail

[personal profile] endurism 2019-10-28 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[That thing is disgusting and she's not sure if it's a faux pas to call it out or not.

A beat.

A second.

Awkward... pause..........

Okay she decides to say something that's hopefully not insulting.]


It is much more hideous than where it got its likeness from. [Nailed it.]

...what, are you famous or something? How did you get so much?
showmelove: (v32 copy)

[personal profile] showmelove 2019-10-28 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhm, ah... I mean... just kind of denying, I guess? I never saw God, after all. I just listened to him on the radio...
showmelove: (v18 copy)

[personal profile] showmelove 2019-10-28 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? N-no! I mean, definitely not! [Well okay maybe now she is? On accident. It is an accident!]

Not usually, anyway. And if this is what being famous is then I definitely, definitely do not want to be famous. Have you read any of these...?
endurism: (cardboard bird shoes 👍)

[personal profile] endurism 2019-10-28 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

So there was no wrestling involved at all...?
judgmenttime: (pic#13529016)

[personal profile] judgmenttime 2019-10-28 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It's kind of a drag not to be noticed at all, though, isn't it? Let me see that, though—
showmelove: (v33 copy)

[personal profile] showmelove 2019-10-28 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Only mentally...

[Disappointing, she knows.]

I wonder what God looks like anyway.
endurism: (How do you adopt a couch?)

[personal profile] endurism 2019-10-28 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[It is weirdly disappointing somehow. Not something Konoha had ever thought about before, but now she's kind of about that "wrestling god" lifestyle.

Ah well.]

Then that's not yours or mine, most likely... That's a shame. You sounded knowledgable about this one.
showmelove: (v71 copy)

[personal profile] showmelove 2019-10-28 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... [To not be noticed at all... Once upon a time, that'd be just what she wanted.]

Okay. [She leans in to hand over a letter. It's got disturbing eyes and lips drawn on it with "I am watching, my child" written in shaky handwriting. Venus looks less than pleased about it.] That's not the worst but gosh... there's so much...
showmelove: (v22 copy)

[personal profile] showmelove 2019-10-28 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
O-oh, no way. I don't know anything about any of this! I mean, I know some stuff. I remember everything, and I know not everyone does, but I still barely know anything at all. I didn't expect the profiles to be so uh...

[What even would you call this?]

...This way.
endurism: (That straw is an impasta.)

[personal profile] endurism 2019-10-28 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
So useless, you mean.

[She doesn't have time for this garbage honestly.]

It certainly seems more and more like a cruel joke by the moment.
showmelove: (v68 copy)

[personal profile] showmelove 2019-10-28 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. They really are useless for anything. I don't even know if any of them are true. Certainly none are true of me. Or even if they are, they're too vague to mean anything.

I guess we shouldn't really worry about it. From what I've seen, people just pick their own names anyway and ignore the profiles.
lapofluxury: (smug)

[personal profile] lapofluxury 2019-10-28 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[obviously you can't, but.]

Why not? Who's to say I can't? Measuring is the easy way out.
lapofluxury: (huh.)

[personal profile] lapofluxury 2019-10-28 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[slowly.... turns to look at her...]

Is that a compliment?
endurism: (Since when do ninja bartenders exist?!?!)

[personal profile] endurism 2019-10-28 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm... I suppose.

So long as none of the ridiculous ones are associated with me... [They can't stop that from happening really anyway, people are going to think what they think]
endurism: (i must see this VelociRyan)

[personal profile] endurism 2019-10-28 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[An....attempt was made. Maybe.]

It was certainly not an insult. Did you take it as one?
lapofluxury: (huh.)

[personal profile] lapofluxury 2019-10-28 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, I appreciate being considered hotter than a weird hair doll.

It was just a weird ass way to phrase it.
showmelove: (v71 copy)

[personal profile] showmelove 2019-10-28 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You can't just take someone's identity... That seems wrong somehow? What if that was someone else's life? And then they remember it later, and then you remember something else, and then you guys have been going by each others' names, and no one really knows who is who and it is just a big mess!
endurism: (Meme's by mark)

[personal profile] endurism 2019-10-28 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Was it...? [She looks sincerely surprised for a moment--before her expression smooths out.

AHEM.]


That is... I was just stating the situation as I see it. There's no reason to look too deeply into it.
