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

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. ]
no subject
[Hinata glances over at him with a faint frown.]
He made two AIs for the program... one of them is a close friend of mine, who did a lot for us. Though she isn't here. [Nanami. At once, that familiar pang, that want to talk with her again.]
no subject
[ He'd be happy. There's a small smile. ]
no subject
I'm really grateful to him, too. [Along with Naegi. But before he starts to think too long about it, he shakes his head.] Are there other things you've got questions about?
[Probably nothing but, but--]
no subject
[ He's not 100% sure how to take it other than being relieved that they are (?) looking to their futures (?) and also honestly he's...got a lot of thinking to do about Hope's Peak in general. And Enoshima. He only today finished the final trial, and now all this...
...it'd be nice if he could discuss it with the others. ]
They'll also recognize me...?
no subject
[But he won't say too much about it besides the nod of confirmation.]
I don't think all of them will... but Kuzuryuu and Souda, definitely. And Komaeda. [Since they did encounter Naegi in Haven once before, and besides that, Komaeda had a good look at the information on the other class.
Tanaka knows of it as well, but Hinata's not certain if he'll remember right away. Hmm.]
no subject
Thank you for chatting with me about it, anyway. I know it's...probably not easy.
[ Honestly, he can't really imagine explaining the mutual killing game to anyone...especially not straight away. He imagines Kirigiri and Togami would have more questions, but he doesn't really want to force it.
And also his head already hurts enough for the day. ]
no subject
It's... not, but I can't expect to be able to move forward unless I accept what's happened in the past.
Part of that's telling you and your class about it. It might be as hard to hear too, but I want you to know about these things.
[It's something he keeps in mind a lot-- while he doesn't go advertising his past over the network, when it comes to telling someone who was involved... like Naegi, well, he'll speak about it readily, because he deserves to know.]
no subject
[ Somehow, he doesn't think Togami would take that explanation well...though Asahina, say, might do about the same as Naegi. And yes, he says when instead of if...clearly they will come here too, okay. ]
Or, er, I'll do my best.
no subject
[Hinata looks at him in surprise. Can you believe he doesn't get this offer very often, well, Hinata may be the best equipped to explain it out of everyone and some don't know it all but--]
...Are you sure?
no subject
[ HONESTY FORCES HIM TO CONTINUE: ]
...ish.
[ calm-ish.................. ]
1/2
no subject
...reaches over to ruffle his hair.]
I'd appreciate that. Even calm-ish would help.
no subject
Well, feel free to call me if you see any of them. Rather, I'd appreciate it if you did.
[ he misses them already. who will he shower with dumbass gifts... ]
no subject
Of course. [He nods firmly.] I'll let you know right away.
no subject
Thanks, Hinata-san. [ This is nice...Hinata seems so calm..............he so rarely talks to people who are both calm and willing to actually tell him things. ]
no subject
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.]
no subject
[ HE'S STILL UNCERTAIN but he's pretty sure it's this way... ]
I, er, haven't got the map down yet...
no subject
[He's here to help!! Protagonists gotta stick together.]
This place is pretty big.
no subject
[ It's kind of weird. Nice, for sure, but weird. ]
no subject
[He gets it...]
no subject
[ He'll take it, tbqh. ]
no subject
[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.
no subject
[ please don't be murder things. ]
no subject
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.
no subject
I...see. I don't think that's anything I can prepare for...
