Welcome to the Program

[airlockedmods]

Good Morning, Champions. In the interest of maintaining healthy sleep patterns, a day/night cycle is in effect. Your presence is expected in the cafeteria in exactly one hour.

[The voice comes through not a large speaker, but through the device that's attached to each Champion's arm. Further investigation of the features of the device will reveal a list of profiles, a mini-map, and a list of rules. The hallways are shiny white and silver, with running lights along the floor and lights on the ceiling, and at the junction of the hallways is a sign with a knife and fork icon and an arrow pointing down the hall.

Welcome to the Excellence Program, Champions. Time to get to know your teammates.]

I am sure he would not mind either or. As you can well imagine, having the same surname...and even same sounding names got rather confusing at home.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Mmmkay. Guess I'll just stick ta first names for the both of ya then!

[She looks at his profile again and then scrolls to Osomatsu's]

It says ya got brothers on here. Yeah, that must be a pain with similar soundin' names. How many have ya got anyway?

[karappo]

[Karamatsu takes a breath, and repeats for the many, many-th time today:]

I have five identical twin brothers. We are sextuplets.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Whoa!

[Well damn, that's unusual.]

That musta been one lively childhood ya had with that many siblings around!

[karappo]

Heh...lively is one way to put it. Chaotic is another. But all around, it is a childhood I would not trade for anything.

[Sure, having to share with five brothers sucked...but Karamatsu was always one of the softer of the group, so he tended to fight less over things than- say- Osomatsu and Choromatsu.]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Man... it sounds like a great way ta grow up.

[Zombina hums..]

Certainly not a boring moment musta been had, huh?

[karappo]

Not at all! Barring the usual boredom of being stuck at home with not much to do, of course.

[But who's fault is that, Kara.]

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

Hah, so what're you're brothers like anyway?
