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. ]

[heavyliesthecrown]

I was given an unfair thing that I cannot possibly consider actually stealing. And so-

[ Pulling out another one of the cult bandanas that C keeps trying to shove onto him. He lifts it up into the air. ]

Do you see this? This represents your life. I need you to wear it somehow if you could. Tuck it into a pocket. Or somewhere that it might be easily tugged from.

[strayknight]

Something unfair to steal?

[Staring at the bandana he tilts his head.]

That's all you need? That's my life.

[Ah, that's what he had to take.]

So, you want to do this instead of killing me?

[Curiously he reaches out to take the bandana.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Naturally. I don't want to kill anyone, let alone for a silly game or someone who is supposed to be part of my unit from back home.

I'm not really sure if this will count, but at least I cannot be faulted for trying.

. . . It might not be a bad idea to be wary of what other options people have received though if my own requires stealing a life. There is quite the jump from stealing a kiss to stealing a life.

[strayknight]

Fair. Would be a downer to kill someone you know from home, right?

[Though he wonders if that will ve something to happen in the future...whether they like it or not.]

Okay fine I'll take it and...

[He shoves the bandana into his pocket.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Did he shove it all the way in or is part of it still sticking out. ]

[strayknight]

[A small piece is poking out as he stares at Tsukasa.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ . . . .

Reaches out... to try and tug the bandana back. ]

[strayknight]

[Stepping back a little he smirks.]

Feeling okay Suuchan?

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ The smirk makes him that much more determined. ]

Of course I am. HIYA~!

[ Makes a move for the bandana again...! ]

[strayknight]

[Holding back laughter at the noise he feigns injury.]

Oh no! My life~

[heavyliesthecrown]

Fufufu~ I shall be taking your life. I apologize, but in war, one cannot always afford to show mercy.

[strayknight]

Hmm, seems we are even now then? Do we draw another?

[heavyliesthecrown]

Usually, there is more than one unit that wins.

[ Hmm... ]

Maybe we could help one another? Drawing more and completing the tasks or helping prevent others from being able to complete their own are all viable options to winning.

. . . Though the last one feels a little like cheating.

[strayknight]

So it isn't one takes all?

Well, winning is nicer than losing right? So let's grab another and 'steal' what it says.

[heavyliesthecrown]

After you, then.

[strayknight]

[Not needing to be told twice he approaches, ready to grab another slip. Once he has it he goes to read the paper.

Steal someone's blood

Hm...Interesting, not what he expected but he can work with it.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

What did you get?

[ He moves as well to pull a new option.

. . . Steal someone's freedom? ]

[strayknight]

Blood. I need to steal some blood.

[He tilts his head looking at Tsukasa.]

You?

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . Blood of all things?

[ The producers are beyond unreasonable. ]

I have to steal someone's freedom, but I have an idea for it.

[strayknight]

Doesn't say how much so could be a little?

[In his mind it could have been much worse]

An idea, huh?

[heavyliesthecrown]

Fufufu I am always prepared for King, and so I have just the thing.

It would be easier if you could close your eyes though.

[strayknight]

King? Hmm, sounds like Knights has a king, right?

[A little skeptical he does close his eyes...if Tsukasa pulled a fast one he's gonna get him.]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Well, it seems he's the former king now. In a recent memory, I've come to discover that the crown has been passed along to me. ♪

[ Once his eyes are closed though, Tsukasa reaches into the bag slung across his chest and to the side in order to pull out...!!

Some zip ties.

Which he proceeds to use by reaching out to take Ritsu's hands in an effort to bind them.]

[strayknight]

Oh? So you took the throne? Impressive.

[...Suuchan.

Ritsu opens his eyes as he feels his hands being bound.]

You're bold...and/or kinky to carry something like~

1/2

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ 'Kinky'...? ]

I'm not sure I follow your meaning. But I am simply following after my senpai's examples.

[ THIS IS ACTUALLY TRUE ]
