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. ]

Gilgamesh (AU) | Fate/Grand Order

[queenitover]

[ they are provided pajamas when they awaken. but ........ the new arrival on [INSERT UNIT HERE] seems to have forgone that entirely. in that she is walking out into whatever the central area is to the dorms fully in the nude. and not with a lack of self-confidence about it, either -- she strolls right up to the TV screen, putting her hands to her hips. ]

Hmph! Well, naturally, I am one who has mud-wrestled a god. Few others could achieve so impressive a feat.

Would any others like to lay claim to these far less prestigious preferences?

[ Gilgamesh -- let's say now dressed in a Baritones suit -- will be approaching You (tm) clearly with some sort of intent in mind. in fact an intent so clear she will be trying to take your chin between her fingertips without any pre-amble whatsoever. ]

4

[ Gilgamesh doesn't quite seem satisfied going through her own fanmail. she murmurs going through each one, under her breath: ]

These "artists" cannot hope to capture half of my radiance. Who are they aiming to fool? The Queen of Heroes herself?

[ ... and despite herself she'll be trying to sneak a peak at the fanmail of the person sorting through next to her ]

Saya Otonashi | Blood + | Option 1

[sangreine]

[From behind a tangle of impossibly long, black hair, a pair of red eyes scan the room, blinking twice to dispel any thoughts of sleep. The young woman pops into a seated position, stretching her arms overhead as the bedsheets pool around her waist. Glancing around, she spots the blank, silent smartphone and lifts it between two fingers, dangling it before her face and regarding it as though diseased. With a huff of irritation she casually flings it away, its velocity seeming far higher than her efforts might indicate, no mind paid to trajectory. She has yet to notice, or care, whether anyone else is present to be struck.]

[Next, she glances down at the long sleeved, ruffled nightgown she's dressed in, her face twisting in distaste. She tugs at one long sleeve, ripping the seam at the armscye and yanking it free with a triumphant smile. The other arm is similarly torn free before she starts on the neck ruffles, a low-cut, jagged neckline left behind. The ruffles themselves, rather than being thrown aside, she holds before her face, glancing at them with impassive curiosity before beginning to carelessly shred the material and drop the resulting shards in her lap.]

[at_heart]

I'm thinking that's a no on volunteering to be tape-measured.

[ Waving from your doorway! He's also in pajamas, but he doesn't appear to have ripped them to pieces, and the look on his face says he's slightly amused by the concept. ]

[sangreine]

[Glancing up from her fabric massacre, she regards the stranger with wide eyes -- more inquisitive than surprised. Then she smiles, utterly guileless. Whether that's so say she minds, or wouldn't, is left to him.]

[Her mangled pieces of nightgown fall abandoned to the side as she leaps up with no noticeable effort, clearing her bed and entire stretch of floor easily in an effort to get closer to the one who spoke to her. With no concept or care for personal space, she leans in close, head inclined, as if to ask a question, before smiling sweetly again. Hello!]

Re: Saya Otonashi | Blood + | Option 1

[crossmyheartandhope]

Not a fan of ruffles, huh?

[sangreine]

[She makes a little noise, more amused than any sort of agreement, then offers the stranger a beaming smile, the offending ruffles apparently forgotten in favor of the far more interesting prospect of a person. She likes people!]

[Swinging her legs to dangle off the side of the bed, she kicks her bare feet girlishly. Words are always a struggle when she's new, too cerebral to be worth the struggle. Her wide eyes speak well for her, thankfully, fluttering at the newcomer, as if beckoning. Play with her, won't you? She's all whimsy and instinct, and being alone is terrible.]

[outofoffice]

[ He ducks the incoming smartphone like a pro, seemingly nonplussed by all of this. He just peers in the doorway with a little wave. ]

Ehehe, yeah, the fashion is really hit or miss here!

[sangreine]

[Thank goodness for reflexes, she'd have felt bad about that once she remembers what manners are!]

[But you said it, new person, this thing is not acceptable. However, she decides, for the moment, that a person is a far worthier use of her attention than tearing up pieces of nightshirt.]

[Mirroring the movement, she waves back, at first smiling sweetly, and then inclining her head in thought. What to do about this fashion catastrophe, then? She's nothing if not pliable in this state.]

Elidibus | FFXIV | watch out for spoilers

[rainshaveceased]

[oh hey it's that guy who was on wild city before but now he's on a different unit? probably heart soldier senshi?

he might be in your dorm just very calmly and methodically inspecting the entire space and not looking very concerned with the situation at all, or he might be out on town walking around. either way he'll eventually be approaching you with the friendly smile of a guy you can definitely trust]

4.
[it looks like he's been getting a lot of fanmail! if you steal a glance at some of the letters he's reading through carefully, they look to be very earnest requests for encouragement and reassurance. also the typical porn and such, but he's ignoring those.

eventually he lifts his face from the mail and faces a direction that probably has cameras watching]

Friends, my heart aches with the struggles you are all going through. It is a difficult life we all lead here in the depths of hell.

And yet I urge you, do not lose courage. Do not lose hope, for within each and every one of you dwells the strength of a true hero. Whatever challenges you face, whatever pain may be inflicted upon you, without a doubt you have the capacity to overcome them. Believe in yourselves, and believe in your fellow man. By working together, by supporting each other, we can all enkindle the light of hope in our souls!

[dude didn't even call a live for this]

[Hey aren't you on Wild City...?

Here's Lahabrea, mask and all, just kind of watching. Look he doesn't know what corpses Elidibus has picked up since he died? ]

[Please get your inspirational speeches out of here?]

Hit your head hard on the way back, did you? I don't even have the energy to give you a 'bravo' for your words.

[hey imagine if you like remembered anything about Amaurot and also how Hythlodaeus looked

anyway! Here's some tall motherfucker looking very happy about your speech? Probably on the verge of applauding?]

Ah... that is such a wonderful sentiment. I'm glad to finally meet someone who agrees!
