THINGS YURI HAS LEARNED ABOUT...

  • Imeeji in general
    • How death works
      • It's not permanent. The producers bring them back after a game, if they die during one. Otherwise, Pep people can bring them back. (x)
      • Lost limbs can be reattached by sensitIV or replaced by future is now; fleshy limbs like the one you lost, or any kind of prosthetic, can also be purchased from the store, but will still need be reattached by one of the other two units. (Shiemi will tell him this in the first conversation, because he'll ask, but it's handwaved for now.)
      • (Assumption) Pretty much everyone here has probably killed at least one other person, as part of a Game.
    • Holidays/Recurring events
    • Idols
      • Most of them are somewhere between 15 and 25, though there's been at least one 13-year-old (x)
        • NOTE: There are also people in their late 20s, but Lupine doesn't technically know that yet (he hasn't asked Saffron or Valor their ages.
      • If they don't dress the part and sleep in their dorms regularly, they risk starting to fade away and lose their identities (would def also have been told by Shiemi) (x)
      • People leave Imeeji either by graduating (via hell or heaven paths — Lupine doesn't love the idea of either, but he doesn't trust what the heaven path claims to offer (a guarantee that he'll never have to come back to hell? protection for his planet?); at least he sort of knows the wishes work... (Eichi is the recipient of one such wish, and it cured his sickliness)
      • People can also leave Imeeji temporarily (OOCly, when they're dropped); as of Day 404, Lupine knows that this is the result of them being transferred to other "TV shows" temporarily (x), and he knows that Pentium (and K, as of the Hunger Games/Day 407) have experienced this sort of transfer, although K says his was the result of someone "winning a contest" (x)
    • Units
      • It's possible to be transferred from one unit to another, even multiple times (x) (x)
      • Also, by extrapolation, some of the people here are probably on different units from their friends, family, loved ones... he knows Klaus used to be separated from his brother and that Tenn used to be separated from his fiancé/husband.
        • Now he also knows Emi is dating a girl from another unit! (x)
      • sensitIV
        • They're the healers. Bring 'em limbs and anything else you want reattached. Normally, they charge points to heal, but there are some exceptions. (x)
        • Being able to heal is, somehow, "a double-edged sword" (x)
      • pep!pep!
        • They can revive you if you die outside of a game. (Or in a game, one supposes.)
    • Dorms
      • There's one for each unit, and when new members show up the exits lock until the new members have selected a personal color / position on the team. (x)
      • Food and "most things" are free. (x)
      • The dorms are not all created equal, and can be upgraded by idols for points, so the units who win the most have much nicer dorms.
        • Heart Soldier Senshi has a VR training room, which he would like pls?
          • Eichi has suggested a 'fundraising' live with Yvette's help, making a cheesecake calendar......
        • (Incorrect) Some of the dorms might not have kitchens? Or at least (correct) their kitchens may not be wholly usable? (x)
        • Some of the other dorms (most of them) have a gym inside, rather than having to use the one in the lobby
      • Auditions
        • Tenn is one (x)
        • Arrive with their memories, fighting for the right to earn a wish. Come already-Corrupted. (same)
      • Corruptions
        • Well, he knows that some of them can look like the kinds Tenn and Eichi have!
        • Currently thinks they're just something Auditions have, but he won't be surprised to learn otherwise
        • Considers them to be completely the fault of the 'producers', and he makes an effort not to make anyone feel weird about them by staring
