hopeslastrewardThis 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.

Oh, um, I probably should introduce myself. I'm Makoto Naegi.
video;
Date: 2014-10-20 09:29 pm (UTC)[Komaeda repeats the name thoughtfully, looking at Naegi on the Gear. He was already well aware that his memories of Hope's Peak were gone, but even so, the name and face could have triggered something...]
[...nope. Never mind.]
You said you attend Hope's Peak, correct? You don't recognize me, so I guess we must have attended on different years...
video;
Date: 2014-10-20 09:41 pm (UTC)And I... kind of had my memories tampered with, so it's possible that I've just forgotten you.
video;
Date: 2014-10-20 09:48 pm (UTC)[Komaeda probably should have expected this.]
So did I. That's why I depended on your memory, and not my own.

Date: 2014-10-20 11:39 pm (UTC)[ ...He also knows some of the big spoilers thanks to her, but he's not going to mention that his future self decided to start some kind of virtual reality hope thing and that he apparently fucked up big time since Monobear somehow showed up and ruined it. ]
Monobear did the same thing to ours.
video;
Date: 2014-10-21 12:57 am (UTC)And the results?
[Even if Naegi is a Hope's Peak student, Komaeda's more interested in finding out what happened to him. Things such as "politeness" and "sensitivity" are thrown by the wayside, if Komaeda ever had them at all.]

Date: 2014-10-21 01:42 am (UTC)...Um, s-several of my classmates died, but we were able to bring down the mastermind.
video; private
Date: 2014-10-21 01:49 am (UTC)...Although...
[The joy drops from his expression, leaving only thoughtfulness in its place.] The defeat of the mastermind begs an obvious question.
Can you figure out what it is?

Date: 2014-10-21 02:36 am (UTC)Exactly.
[So do you have an answer?]
video; private
Date: 2014-10-21 02:49 am (UTC)video; private
Date: 2014-10-21 02:57 am (UTC)...Or, someone else could have found out about the situation and continued her legacy, without her consent or preparation. Would that be possible?

Date: 2014-10-21 02:39 pm (UTC)[Hm. Questions, questions.]
video; private
Date: 2014-10-22 07:43 pm (UTC)[ And he's pretty sure she would have told them if she knew how the hell the second murder game happened, being his future self's subordinate and all. ]
video; private
Date: 2014-10-22 07:47 pm (UTC)[He's definitely not trying to get Nanami's information out of Naegi. Nope. That's absolutely not what's happening right now.]
video; private
Date: 2014-10-22 08:19 pm (UTC)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. ]
video; private
Date: 2014-10-22 08:23 pm (UTC)Did she happen to give you any indication of how far ahead she is? Any significant events past the third trial?
video; private
Date: 2014-10-22 08:36 pm (UTC)You'll have to ask her if you want to know.
video; private
Date: 2014-10-22 08:38 pm (UTC)Although she'll probably refuse to answer, since it's me...
[WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT NOT EXPERIENCING THE CRAZY????]
video; private
Date: 2014-10-22 08:43 pm (UTC)[ SO MUCH FOR NOT DRAWING OUT THE CRAZY... ]
video; private
Date: 2014-10-22 08:46 pm (UTC)[If tying someone up and throwing them into a dark room for half a chapter doesn't imply distrust, Komaeda can't think of what does.]
I would help her if she asked me anything, of course, but it seems like Nanami seems to know most answers already.
video; private
Date: 2014-10-22 08:50 pm (UTC)[ ...he's kind of wondering if he has made a mistake in telling Komaeda about murderschool... ]
video; private
Date: 2014-10-22 08:56 pm (UTC)Yes... most people tend to dislike me after awhile. I don't... [He pauses. It would be a lie to say he doesn't know why; he knows which parts of him tend to set people off.] ...I don't really get bothered by it, though.

Date: 2014-10-22 09:07 pm (UTC)I hope we can be friends.
