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)
b; shopping for something else (12/25)

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.c; bike shop (12/25)
...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. ]
[ 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. ]

You already know me, but...I'm Naegi Makoto, Super High School Level Luck. [ If they're...doing titles. He sounds mostly embarrassed about it. This kid definitely does not look like the SHSL Yakuza but considering the Kuzuryuu family is a big thing the name is enough to get Naegi to think that maybe he shouldn't say that.
Also, that would be rude... ]
Ah, Hinata-san did explain some things to me... [ It made more sense than the flamingo aliens. ...Or at least the aliens Naegi keeps picturing as flamingos. With laser guns. ...............IT'S FOR THE BEST NO ONE CAN SEE HIS THOUGHTS, they're inane and dumb. ] He mentioned his classmates being here, too, although he didn't give me anything more than names. But these circumstances seem to be at least a bit better than those. [ ... ] Er, mostly...
no subject
[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...
no subject
I'll...try to keep my guard up. [ He's paranoid about things like chickens now. He should maintain some level of paranoia - okay yeah no it's Naegi he will trust most things and be optimistic while occasionally side-eyeing mundane stuff and thinking ridiculous thoughts to himself. At least Kirigiri will arrive in two days to supply him with the appropriate level of caution. ]
I just got here this morning, yeah...but what sort of weird thing do you mean? I know there were a few other people coming out of that powerpoint presentation around the same time as me, but other than the thing itself, nothing very odd happened...
no subject
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.
no subject
...Even so, it sounds preferable to a mutual killing game, so I think I'm a little happy about it.
[ let's look at those silver linings, don't they gleam... ]
But I'll keep my guard up as much as I can. [ Kuzuryuu can undoubtedly throw down better than Naegi... ]
no subject
I'm not sure if "happy" is the word I'd use, personally but...it beats the island. Or I guess the school, in your case. You know what I mean. It's not Enoshima's twisted bullshit.
no subject
...Yeah. A mutual killing game...as long as it's not that, it's better than the alternative.
no subject
Mm. [Okay, well he's out of things to talk about that won't just become a "mutual killing is awful" loop. Crap. He has to change the subject to something else now, doesn't he?] You need help with those, by the way?
[The groceries. You know, because they might run away again or something. And he probably wants to get that soda in the fridge. Okay, so it's not really a topic change but maybe he can come up with something better while they're walking? CONVERSATION MASTER. Look at him go.]
no subject
[ He kind of picked at random but it's conveniently located at least...! Naegi doesn't seem to mind the conversation change in the least. ]
But if you were busy, I don't want to put you out.
no subject
[So apparently he was just...wandering aimlessly or something? Who knows. He'll just reach over and take hold of one of Naegi's grocery bags. Whenever you want to let go, man, he's got this.]
So it's fine, don't worry about it.
no subject
[ He'll easily enough pass over a bag, then! Two short guys heading home SHOULD BE FUN. ]
I suppose I should be used to figuring out how to spend free time, but admittedly I always just went to hang out with a classmate whenever I had any...
