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. ]

N... Nineteen? Truly?

[ he'll be more apologetic in a second, just let him stare for a second...

okay he's done. ]


M-my apologies. I thought you were much younger...
particularity: (m ✣ i'll regret it until)

[...well, there aren't not murder things.]

Things like... they can manipulate how people act, or think. Or things like the colony practically freezing over... Or even something that affects our senses and takes one away.

Japan's own privately owned prison of horrors? I figured it woulda been hard to forget.

[at least she's not in there anymore... whew. admitting the fact that she went to prison is no problem for her, it's just how she got there that she doesn't want to talk about.

yup now she's just staring at the photo while waiting for his reaction. she's completely expecting him to freak out or whatever. if he really doesn't know it, then it'll at least confirm the whole other worlds thing.]

I'm fine.

[Why wouldn't she be fine... Though she will help him track down some of the other assorted lost items. What a strange guy.]

...

[Now what... she's just kind of silently helping him pick up fallen groceries. This is so sad, Peko, please practice carrying on a conversation more.]
impheired: at my worst, then leave because i don't have a best. i'm always awful. (talk ♚ if you can't handle me)

[LOOK YOU'D HAVE ISSUE WITH IT TOO IF YOUR FIRST SHSL LUCK EXPERIENCE WAS WITH NAGITO KOMAEDA.]

Well when I got here a few weeks ago, they set up an amusement part. Which would have been...fine enough on its own, [Well to NORMAL people who like theme parks, that is.] except for the fact that all the rides tried to kill you. It's still set up, by the way, and somehow I doubt they did anything to fix so I'd avoid it if I were you.

And apparently there was another group before mine that got coded as criminals when they were brought in, so they had the entire robot police force out for their heads. I don't have a full list or anything, but everyone I've spoken to has said there's always something. And from the sounds of things, it's usually bad news.

Yeah. [ She nods simply in response, giving a rather awkward grin. ] It is kind of weird at first, but you get used to it. I don't do the designing myself, although I could, but I can help you out with anything in that area.

Thank you so much!! Should I be on my way now?!

[oH MY GOD you need a bubble, Naegi. Peko just kind of watches him fall, tbh. Doesn't even offer him a hand up, just kind of stares at him before moving to start picking up the other stuff he's dropped. Maybe she should just pick up everything and carry it for him so she can move on...

She's bending down to pick up one of the coins when she freezes, just before her fingers touch the metal. And then she's abruptly glaring at him, though it's not a glare of anger. It's just her default confused expression.]


Where did you get these?

[SHE HASN'T SEEN ANY OF THESE COINS HERE AT ALL.]
perfectstrike: (resolve)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-04-28 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Peko suddenly seems much more suspicious of him, not enough touching the coin as she stands back up. She's still holding some of his miscellaneous groceries, though...]

And where was that?

[She still doesn't know about the other class... no one filled her in on that bit.]
perfectstrike: (sharp like a blade)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-04-28 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Are you a student of Hope's Peak?

[No, these groceries are hers now. At least until she remembers she's holding them...]

Were there always coins like this there?
perfectstrike: (500% done)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-04-28 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[--LUCK. REALLY. She glances down and seems to realize that she's still holding his groceries. She doesn't quite know what to do with them just yet, but alright, if this kid is luck... hopefully he's not as out-there as their own personal SHSL Luck. That there's another one would mean --]

Yes, that's right. You've met Hinata?

[Means that it's best to try to figure out what Hinata's told this guy, and work from there.]

I am the Super High School Level Swordswoman, Pekoyama Peko. What has Hinata told you?
unluckless: (though i respect that lot)

[personal profile] unluckless 2015-04-28 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Good! I'm sure Hinata-kun will be happy too.

[She can totally come to, even if Komaeda is not yet aware how super intimidating he will find her. It'll be fun to discover.]

Whatever you think is best, Naegi-kun. But it is a little cold outside, so please pick something appropriate.

[No catching your death of alien frostbite okay? Okay.]
perfectstrike: (indifferent)

[personal profile] perfectstrike 2015-04-29 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
...I see.

[A nod, then. Hinata knows what's best to discuss, then, so she'll follow his lead! Whatever that is...]

And? What do you intend to do with this knowledge?

[This guy seems hopelessly incompetent, but that... doesn't mean much, honestly. Not to mention the Monocoins...]

And do you mean to tell me you were engaged in a situation similar to ours?
