This is strange. This is very... strange.

[The feed opens on a teenage boy who honestly doesn't look like the picture of health; his hair is a mess, his skin is pale, and even though he's sitting, his posture has a certain slump that doesn't exactly imply "physical strength". Still, even if Nagito Komaeda's body is frail, his mind is still sharp as a tack. ...Well, usually. Sometimes. Depends on the context? Well, it's sharp right now, and that's all that matters.]

[He's silent for a few moments, apparently in deep thought.]

[The first and most obvious conclusion is that this is another ploy by Monobear. Last night, he'd watched the end of the third trial and went to sleep, troubled somewhat by what had happened... and now, not even twenty-four hours later, Monobear had dropped him in a Pokémon region of all places? Was this the motive? If so, why didn't he wait for someone to commit murder on their own first? Honestly, Komaeda can't think of any possible way Monobear could make despair out of the Pokemon world; even if he tried to corrupt it, it would only affect the people who have a strong emotional attachment to the originals. Komaeda could think of no one who might know them except Nanami and himself -- Nanami didn't seem like the killer type, and Komaeda honestly wasn't attached enough to care one way or the other. He honestly couldn't even recall the name of the bull thing he'd been given as a starter.]

[Speaking of Nanami... where is everyone? Komaeda had already tried looking through the network, which raised even more questions. If, again, it was Monobear who did all this, why would he go to the effort of writing so many different entries? Why were there actual people with varied personalities, and not an army of Monobears?]

[...Actually, the bear hasn't shown his face on anything at all so far. And quite honestly, that alarms Komaeda more than if it had. Had something... happened to them? Komaeda plans to find out. Depending on the reaction of the masses, who may be either Monobear's fabrications or real people, he'll get to the bottom of this mystery, just like all the others. First order of business: figure out what's happened outside.]


Oh, I should probably introduce myself...

Nagito Komaeda. That's my name.

Anyhow... has anyone here heard of Hope's Peak Academy? Please tell me what you know.

...You've done...research.

[you know, once in a while Ishimaru will have these moments of sudden clarity, where he realizes that good god, this is exactly what talking to me is like on a bad day, isn't it

thank you, character development, he'd like to get off the train now because wow that sounded crazy as hell

does it always sound crazy as hell like that]

Why did you bother? Was it when you were trying to improve yourself, like you said?
loveisanopendoor: (Oh okay)

[Another time, another game, the name of that place would probably make Anna tense up in seconds. But thankfully...]

Nope! Can't say I've ever heard the name...is it a famous school where you're from? I hope you've found a bunch of classmates of yours already! This place seems to take people from all over, so I'd be kind of surprised if there wasn't at least one person you recognize...and if there isn't, well, new people come in all the time, so I'm sure you'll find someone at some point!

But I'm sure you have a ton of questions, so if you need anything answered, I'd be more than happy to help! I've been here for close to half a year now, so I know what it's like to be kinda lost from how new this place is.

[ That's nice of you, Komaeda. Naegi nods. ]

Yeah, she has.

[ ...Technically she didn't tell him everything since he didn't want to bother her with too many questions and decided to leave the rest to Kirigiri, who then shared the deets with the rest of the class. But details, who cares. ]

[...Waaaaaait.]

So logically speaking, you want to help people become the best they can be - meaning that there's a chance that without your assistance, they wouldn't be able to find that hope for themselves.

In other words, you're arguing for your own worth, whether inherently in thinking that this is what you're meant to do, or through experience in the effort you've put in to learn how to...do...that...

[...not...sure if fucking with him?]

You just invalidated your entire argument!

[personal profile] ardent 2014-10-22 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
So why bother, if you truly think it's futile?
ardent: (And now you steal away)

...You asked me which I was earlier. One who's always had worth, or one that gained it through experience.

I don't think I'm either.

Ah, I thought so, too. Although I was a little sad not to play the game properly, it was...pretty fun discovering the new things, too.

[ Though she's sticking to the main route in Kanto. Because. ]

Though, I'm doing things properly this time, in Kanto, so...

No, I don't recall her saying anything like that. [ All she said was that she never graduated... ]

You'll have to ask her if you want to know.

...You're Super High School Level Good Luck, then?

[And he's been...told something, about the Good Luck from the other class, Saionji-kun had mentioned it and she'd said he's some sort of murderer, hadn't she, dear god - ]

The one from our class isn't a lost cause, nor is he worthless, so I have no reason to believe you are either.

[he is trying so hard to not abort the shit out of this conversation

trying

so hard]

...Does she dislike you for some reason, Komaeda-kun?

[ SO MUCH FOR NOT DRAWING OUT THE CRAZY... ]
