Game Navigation

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. ]

[It's okay Byleth you did fight him so you can claim it was a mugging.

Once they're off, he hands over the shoes. He...hopes he gets them back, but they're not exactly anything fancy or even idol worthy. He reaches up to start adjusting the cloak that was ruffled up from the brawl]


Thanks.

[personal profile] strikeforce 2020-08-24 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[shoes!!! get!!! Byleth takes them with a grateful nod and tucks then under his arm]

Mm.

[oh??? noises from his mouth??]

Thanks.

[HE SPEAKS]

[HOLY CRAP. That actually catches him by surprise, since by this point he figured this guy was mute or something, but...]

Oh! You do talk.

[It even gets a little laugh out of him. Amazing]

[personal profile] strikeforce 2020-08-24 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[unfazed by the laughter and surprise tbh]

Yes. When necessary.

[apparently it wasn't necessary before now?? okay sure whatever you strange barefoot cryptid]

[Jun gives a nod]

That makes sense.

[DOES IT JUN?????]
strikeforce: (pic#14239700)

[personal profile] strikeforce 2020-08-24 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ah yes, a man of distinction such as himself. Byleth nods again, satisfied]

[. . .]

[although Jun is now about to find out that this guy is bad at holding a conversation. he is now just standing there and staring]

[awkwardly]

[though he himself seems unbothered by the silence]
whiteshroud: (jun03)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2020-08-24 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lucky for Byleth...Jun is also pretty unbothered by the silence or the lack of holding a conversation. When he realizes that Byleth has decided it is no longer necessary to speak, he gets it. Socializing is really hard. So he's just gonna pick up his hat that got knocked off during the brawl and put it back on.

Also maybe check his phone to make sure the heart is still there. Good.

Finally, when he's done with all that, he'll address Byleth]


Let's turn this stuff in.

[Come on now you weird cryptid]
strikeforce: (pic#14239703)

[personal profile] strikeforce 2020-08-25 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[SOCIALIZING IS HARD ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE WHO FORGOT HE IS A PERSON, TOO]

[for now he seems content to follow Jun's lead, so! time to pad after this stranger, bare feet and all, to turn in the spoils of their thievery]

[his cape flutters behind him]
whiteshroud: (grrr)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2020-08-25 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[
Byleth 🤝 Jun
Green hair weirdos bad at being People


Jun will silently walk, aware that Byleth is following along and that's cool. When they reach the main room, Jun makes a beeline for the hologram host, holding up his phone to show the heart emoji.]


I stole a heart.

[Gimme my points]
strikeforce: (pic#14239697)

[personal profile] strikeforce 2020-08-25 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[THEY WILL BE BEST FRIENDS AND ALL OF THEIR HANG OUT SESSIONS WILL LITERALLY BE THEM NODDING AT EACH OTHER AND SAYING NOTHING]

[Jun holds up the phone and Byleth holds up the shoes. he says nothing and his features don't really change but there is a sense of EXPECTANCY in his posture]

[MONEY PLEASE]
whiteshroud: (jun03)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2020-08-25 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[YES WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP INDEED.

The hologram looks....a little less than impressed by their efforts (a heart emoji? Really? And why is his face bruised?), but with reluctance...it hands over the points.

Like the bare minimum amount of points because guys this is sad]
strikeforce: (pic#14239694)

[personal profile] strikeforce 2020-08-25 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[guess what this is Byleth's first game and he doesn't really know how points work. so since the points are like. . . transferred to their phone accounts and are not something physical, he is going to stare at the hologram]

[and give the shoes a pointed shake]

[before he holds you a hand, palm facing upwards, fingers wagging]

[MONEY?? PLEASE???]
whiteshroud: (sweatdrop)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2020-08-25 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jun meanwhile had at least paid attention to the point system, since it seemed relevant to getting what he wanted. So he's already checking his phone to see his points and...

Boy. that's not a lot. It's going to take forever to get his memories back. What a pain in the ass.

He does notice Byleth's plight. The hologram is not even paying attention really.]


Points are on your phone.

[a pause]

[Byleth lowers the shoes]

[then he pulls the phone from his pocket and begins to flip it around to inspect it like it might have some kind of secret passage or. . . something???]

[WHERE MONEY]
whiteshroud: (jun05)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2020-08-25 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Er...

He watches this guy for a long moment, debating if he should help but finally...

Holds out his hand for the phone. Hand it over he'll help you, you weird crytpid]
strikeforce: (pic#14239697)

[personal profile] strikeforce 2020-08-27 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[. . . well at least Byleth has accepted that literally everyone knows more about these devices than he does, so]

[he hands the phone over to Jun without much protest, his nose wrinkled slightly]

[he does not like the cell phones]
