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)

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
[ alien flamingos... ]
E-eh? But I couldn't impose on you like that! [ He's too used to giving people random gifts and getting nothing in return, how is he supposed to take someone giving him something?! ]
no subject
It's been quiet for a while. And that worries him. Because the place he was before this broke his ability not to be a paranoid survivalist.]
It isn't an imposition at all. It's only fair. And besides, you can consider it a Christmas present if that helps.
no subject
[ He's just hit that point of "this is fine" sitting there with tea as things burn down around him in terms of new information about their world. He needs more than a day to process the final trial + sdr2 plot but AT LEAST THIS TIME the exposition wasn't from Enoshima...at least that. ]
Christmas...C-christmas?! [ No. He never checked the date on his CereVice. ]
no subject
[Komaeda doesn't buy it. Not entirely. Clearly this place is all futuristic and what have you. He's still half convinced that it's all a virtual reality. Again. But he won't throw his crazy theories at Naegi.
Yet.]
That's right. Christmas... or well, Christmas Eve anyway. Did you not know, Naegi-kun? [Oops.]
no subject
[ .......... :|a Actually, he doesn't have to do anything. It's a romantic holiday, but he would normally at least get Komaru a candy cane or something dumb, but it's not like he even can do that here... ]
...Er, I suppose that's not too important...but I hadn't even thought to check the date.
no subject
Arriving here can be kind of disorienting. But it's the 24th of December, so you're right in time for Christmas.
[And for Komaeda to replace his clothes because he really does feel bad about that.]
no subject
I see...ah, that means it'll be New Years soon, right?
[ That's nice. ...........actually, this means it's sooner to his birthday than he originally though, too...weird. ]
At any rate, I don't really have any other clothes, so...if that's the condition to finding a clothes shop, I'll need to accept.
no subject
[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.
no subject
[ THAT'S FINE...HE'S GOOD AT MAKING FRIENDS or at least making people tolerate him... ]
Ah, all right. You know better than I do. [ Since he has no idea where the shop is. Congratulations, Komaeda, you have your own Naegi duckling for now. ]
no subject
[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!
no subject
[ SINCE HE...KNOWS ABSOLUTELY NO ONE well, he'll at least be thrilled at the ball when Kirigiri shows up, but other than her he knows no one. ]
Er...I don't see why not. A t-shirt should be fine... [ Please note this kid is wearing a hoody under a school blazer. His fashion sense is not the most refined. Though he will go in through that door with a small smile as he glances around. ]
no subject
[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.]
no subject
.................it's also a hoody. Naegi apparently knows his fashion sense and sticks to it. It's also super plain and a sort of muddy brown green. Naegi, that's not really fashionable. ]
This would be all right then, I think...?
