open;

Who: Makoto Naegi and OPEN.
When: 12/24 & 12/25 icly.
Where: Various places.
What: Naegi tries to make sense of things. Or at least fumbles around for a few days trying to make the best of things...same difference!!
Rating/Warning: He's fairly mild but will probably think about murder game trauma being that's a thing that just happened. Probably Dangan Ronpa spoilers but just lemme know if you need me to avoid those (though I'd caution you away from any castmate threads if they happen in that case).




a; grocery shopping (12/24)
[ This is not Naegi Makoto's lucky day. He's a fairly terrible ViViD player, as he quickly finds out - game over, because he can't bring himself to attack someone really, and it takes him a while to actually get through things. After that is the power point that seems like it honestly could be an extension of the Mutual Killing game, except for the part where no one is insisting he try to kill anyone (except maybe aliens?) so that's...that's an improvement, but it still doesn't feel very lucky at all. Especially given that the powerpoint covers the end of his world - which, well, didn't he just do this...

...But this is even more literal than the last time, so. Okay. That's a thing. Following that, he can't locate anyone he knows. He tries their names on the CereVice, tries to ask around about the classmates he's misplaced, but there's no real luck there (ironic, given his talent) and while Naegi doesn't believe they're dead or lost to him forever, he does have to admit that at least immediately he might have to focus on something else.

Like picking an apartment, mostly at random (though nothing fancy, in the same way he'd picked a job). And acknowledging that he was hungry, and had to eat. Since he'd been supplied with credits enough for that (though he's going to be frugal, not knowing how long he's there), Naegi heads out to pick up some food since it seems to be left to him to do it...which is actually a nice change of pace. He looks more than a little lost and weirded out even as he locates a store, though. It's...strange. Being outside of Hope's Peak. Nice, except for the whole world-ending and missing classmates thing, but really strange. When was the last time he saw the real sky...? Or a sky that looked as real as this one?

A while, for sure. But Naegi's fascination with the sky is not really useful at this juncture, because he apparently is not skilled enough to walk while staring up and not become a catastrophe. Because that would be just his luck. It's not so much that he trips - although he seems to - but that one of the bags he's carrying breaks - why this - and several bottles of cherry-vanilla cola begin rolling free. Along with several more ordinary and healthy-ish groceries. Sorry if something rolls into you. Or if the short boy chasing after his scattering things gets in your way and trips and/or hinders you, he doesn't intend to do that... ]


A-ah, wait! [ Because talking to the groceries that roll away from him will stop them, clearly.

Honestly, he might also just run into people while looking up and/or around, in which case he'll always immediately stop and begin apologizing. ]
I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going... [ And who knows, maybe his bags break. AGAIN. Sorry if he drops a can of soup on your foot or something. Or he just looks apologetic and also lost, how the hell does he get back to his apartment again why this. ]

b; shopping for something else (12/25)
[ Having at least succeeded in getting groceries into his apartment (whatever mishaps happened, at leas the was determined to do that) Naegi ventures out again the next day in the morning, clutching a packet. He'll eventually hit up shops, and can be found taking things out of the packet - specifically, he's trying to find photo frames that will fit a variety of dumb pictures from the manilla envelope he'd been carrying around. He's apparently brought them along to double-check for size, so it's possible to catch a glimpse of them as he frowns and tries to find things that work.

...Simple black frames should be all right, right...? But single frames, or one of those photoboard...things? ]


Ah...pardon me! Do you think a collage would look nicer in an apartment...? Or single frames...? I've never really been in charge of decorating anything. [ His parents had done that...well, and he'd never really done much out of the ordinary with his own room. Hadn't had many photographs, either. ]
c; bike shop (12/25)
[ Well, he can't count on those credits to last forever. Even if Naegi hasn't bothered to buy anything other than groceries and photo frames (he...bought a few clothes, but nothing major and mostly jeans and tees, he's very simple in terms of fashion), he doesn't want to do nothing and he should probably at least try to get involved in whatever all this is so he'll better be able to help his friends. Whenever he finally finds them again.

So he's sitting behind the counter of the shop, his nametag pinned to his shirt as he flips through the employee manual, looking more than a little nervous. Those nerves won't abate if someone comes in (what if they ask him something hard) but he'll try to smile all the same. Why are you buying a bike on Christmas? Why is Naegi bothering to do something like go in to work on Christmas? Who knows. ]


Er, welcome! Can I help you with anything?

[ If you have your own scenario in mind, feel free to throw it at me and I'll roll with it. ]
particularity: (f ✣ our way to that place)

[Good... he knows his place in the ruffling circle of life...]

Of course. [He nods firmly.] I'll let you know right away.
particularity: (f ✣ tried to make you mine)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-04-24 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[IT'S AN INEVITABILITY... your protagonistic state will draw them in, Naegi.]

No problem. [This is kind of nice, previously heavy conversation aside. It's so rarely he talks with someone... normal... Phew.] By the way, do you remember where your apartment is?

[Since he'd seemed a little uncertain before direction-wise.]
particularity: (m ✣ and rise up to the satellite)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-04-24 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay, it took me a little while too until I learned my way around... I'll walk with you back.

[He's here to help!! Protagonists gotta stick together.]

This place is pretty big.

I was just on my way to retrieve groceries. But I am in no rush! If anything, that incident helped me train a little and I am thankful for that! [Training in... beating up a stranger's groceries?]

[ at least someone respects his butlering skills!! ]

Ah, I'm a nurse here. I was the caretaker for a rather sick young lady back home, as well.
impheired: at my worst, then leave because i don't have a best. i'm always awful. (talk ♚ if you can't handle me)

[personal profile] impheired 2015-04-25 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He couldn't kick it that far even if he wanted to...but he doesn't want to. That would just be kind of unnecessarily mean? Who even does that? (What the hell, Lee)]

[His face almost seems to do this disgusted little twist at the words "Super High School Level Luck". Like he just swallowed something particularly sour in one gulp. Sorry, Naegi. But your talent never actually came up and his class's lucky student is...well...you'll find out one way or another, surely.]

[That look fades pretty quick, fortunately, and he just kind of nods in acknowledgement to the comment about Hinata. Bless Hinata. Explaining all the difficult shit about virtual reality and despair rehab...]


Well we don't have to kill each other here, so there's that at least. And that fucking bear isn't here, so it's something of an improvement. But don't let your guard down. I haven't been here very long, but from everything I've heard so far, things can get pretty nasty sometimes.

...actually, that's why I'm a little surprised to see you. Because you just got here, right? Usually when they bring in a new group, something weird happens...
particularity: (m ✣ wandering the streets at night)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-04-25 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Suddenly you've got all of this space to work with... it's kind of disorienting, right?

[He gets it...]
unluckless: (0961)

[personal profile] unluckless 2015-04-25 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Mm! That's right! [Yup. Almost New Years! Speaking of.] Actually now that you bring it up, I was planning a New Year's Eve party, especially since it's also the night before Hinata-kun's birthday.

[Consider yourself invited Naegi, even if you know none of his weirdo classmates yet. But first and more importantly at current.]

I suppose you will have to, since that's the rules for right now. But come in, I think it's quickest to go this way.
unluckless: (1003)

[personal profile] unluckless 2015-04-25 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Mostly i'm just having a small party with our other classmates who are here -- and a few of Hinata-kun's friends from this place. So really, you should come, Naegi-kun!

[He is good at it. Much better than Komaeda, but that is not saying much. Komaeda genuinely sucks at it.

Though at least he's not completely alienating his newly acquired duckling yet. Hopefully. He leads the way to a small shop, reaching to pull the door open for the other boy.]
I hope you can find something that suits you here!

That's good that you managed to find a solution.

[ His smile is returned in kind with one of her own. ]

Inaba Himeko. I work at the Holo department of the Auto and Tech shop, so if you ever need to redesign your apartment, I'm your girl. Nice to meet you.
particularity: (f ✣ to bless them in)

[personal profile] particularity 2015-04-25 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, even with these circumstances...

[For Hinata, it's just better than Haven was, rather than Jabberwock Island. Even if he's very aware of all of the technology here. Big Brother is watching, etecetera.]

...There's a lot of things to see here. Though things do happen, so you should be careful, as well.
sewayaku: (fancy mr tux)

[personal profile] sewayaku 2015-04-25 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, thank you. I certainly was busy, but I rather like things that way. [ as for being a bikeshop attendant... ] There's nothing wrong with simple jobs, however. Especially at your age.

[ he thinks he's like 13 sorry naegi ]
primulas: (Helianthus)

[personal profile] primulas 2015-04-26 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. You haven't heard of it...?

[this guy was japanese right? he should have-....unless that whole 'other worlds' bullshit was true.]

Aha- I see. What sorts of class photos- [sorry naegi! she's already reaching out to the envelop he brought and snatching up one of the photos. oh ew it was a weird sports festival one...]

Nice legs. [not.]
