Your character wakes up in a neat bedroom in their team carriage, in nondescript underwear. They might be missing their memories, or their special abilities, or they may just feel a little queasy. Next to them is what seems to be a smartphone, which they know how to use even if they never had before, even if they don't know if they have before. On the screen is a simple message:
Welcome aboard the Aurora!
You have been selected by the Star Prince as a potential hero, tasked with saving the universe from Malice. As a passenger I, your Construct and Conductor, will attempt to provide you with quality lodgings and safety. In return, we ask that you join your fellows in making bonds and doing your utmost to bring joy back to the Stars.
Due to the process of restoring your body, you may find some things are missing. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope to return them to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation.

Upon investigation, you'll find some basic clothes matching your team's theme in the storage provided in your room. Or, perhaps, you're wandering out of the room still undressed. Either way, downstairs you'll find someone has left a tray of cups of hot tea on the living room table. Drinking it may be simply pleasant, or it may cause you to feel a sudden need to warm up to the others in your carriage -- emotionally or physically. Welcome to the team, newbie!

Shortly after your arrival, you find yourself wrapped up in some monster NPC's Game. You're inside what appears to be a stone temple, with a massive golden scale on one wall. Suddenly, on one side, a heavy metal weight is dropped. As the scales tip out of balance, the floor begins to slowly disappear, brick by brick, ready to drop you -- and whoever is with you -- into an abyss. Your only hope comes in the form of an inscription on the altar:
How much do your secrets weigh?
Every secret you tell causes a weight to fall onto the other side of the scale. The bigger the secret, the bigger the weight. If you can collectively tip the scales, the floor will quit dropping bricks and a door will appear to allow you back to the train. If you can't, you'll fall, seemingly forever, til you pass out. When you wake up you'll find yourself unable to lie.

You've been on the Aurora for awhile. Maybe you've even made a few friends! Maybe you've been keeping them at arms length -- even though you know you shouldn't. You know that's not how any of this works.
Either way, you find yourself waking up some place you're not used to-- you're outside the train, no matter where it is you went to sleep. You may not even be sure what it is that woke you up at first -- but then you'll realize. It's the person next to you. Maybe they're still asleep -- maybe they've already woken up and they're staring at you in confusion.
Or maybe they're staring at the handcuffs holding you together. You know, whichever.
There's only one way to get these handcuffs off -- you'll each have to share a memory with each other. It's the only way. So... enjoy that.

[ Despite how utterly disoriented he feels, he does a good job of not appearing that way as he meanders downstairs. He's dressed and fairly put together, though the curiosity is plain on his face as he looks around. Almost as if drawn he'll move towards the tea, though while he picks up a cup in both hands, he doesn't drink it quite yet. Instead he offers a polite smile for whoever might be nearby. ]
Were you the one to prepare this tea? It smells quite comforting, though I don't quite recognize the aroma...

[ While there's an undeniable pulse of panic in his gut once he wakes up, he manages to keep himself outwardly calm. The handcuffs don't help, but...
Whether you're already awake or just waking up yourself, he'll react more or less the same. An apologetic smile, and a slight gesture with the hand that's bound to you, enough to make the chain clink. ]
Seems we've found ourselves in quite a ... situation, here. But first, are you alright?
wildcard.
[ Feel free to hit me up with anything/come up with your own prompt! ]

What do you think? We're chained together with no plain exit in sight. Obviously I'm not alright.
If you're going to ask stupid questions instead of bringing something useful to the table you can go right back to sleep.

[Looking at him with a confused glare before her eyes catches sight of their hands.]
[That, at least, gets her to sit up.] What is- [And she's immediately trying to get it off, even if she's doing it by pressing the chain into the ground to a closed fist as she tries to tug her hand free.]
Come on, it's loose-why won't-UGH! Stupid weird-
[Her eyes focus on him, her glare more suspicious now.] Did you do this?
one
[there's no recognition in his expression and he seems totally at home with being dressed like a unicorn]
Nnnnnope.
[points at a nearby coffee maker, which houses a pot of coffee]
I'm more of a coffee guy than a tea guy.

...Nuh uh. Sometimes stuff like that gets left around.
