[A; Naegi and Kirigiri; Private ; 10/20]
[Ah, there she is. That little girl that's been getting all too annoying for his face stop it. He can't help but feel really annoyed whenever they crossed path; despite her not noticing him Kirigiri-san, please, run! every single time. Really, it's fitting that everyone that annoys him have to just disappear, which is why he's going to just stop riiiight in front of her path in a certain day.]

Hello~



[B; Everywhere without Monsters]
[He had been wandering aimlessly these past few days, the only time he appeared was during collar check-ups and mealtime at the cafeteria, but other than that, there's absolutely no trace of Makoto Naegi's appearance anywhere in the tower. As if he's become a ghost. Which was a really ridiculous notion to be honest, as ghosts didn't really exist outside of the most recent event, right...??? Though if you really insist on finding him to check on his condition....

You might find him just walking around in plain sight in some floors, and hidden away behind some obscure hallways in others. While the fact that you can just find him easily when he's trying to hide himself is strange, you have to remember that he's a Super High School Level Lucky Guy.

And he's having a lot of bad luck right now, apparently.]

b of course

[justiceerror]

[Ah- is this yet another soul he'll torment? Battler is walking down the halls as well, as usual, looking for people to entertain him, and looks like this will be good.]

Hoh.... you look so sullen....

aw yeah

[yougotthatwrong]

........

[He didn't expect to see someone here, to be honest; but considering his experience earlier on with Terminals turning on when he doesn't want them too just meant that his luck is being horrendously bad these few months.

Just have him staring at silence, Baddler.]

[justiceerror]

[A chuckle escapes him.]

Hehahaha.... what's this, cat got your tongue? Or perhaps.... it was cut out.....? Wouldn't that be something.....

[yougotthatwrong]

...

[He shook his head, not too rapidly, but it was enough to tell the other guy that neither of those happened.]

[scorchedchivalry]

[The only thing Saber was happy about was being -out- of that maid costume. She hated that she'd been given the thing after surviving. It was adding insult to injury and her pride did not like the mocking behind the so-called prize.

It pissed her off. The way the event unfolded pissed her off. Everything about the Tower (aside from a few select people) pissed her off. So, she kept to herself, away from a lot of others, because her rage was practically rolling off her in waves.

She needed to find some outlet for it, something to let her regain some control. So, when she heard someone moving nearby, the knight looked up.

Oh. It was... him.]

[yougotthatwrong]

[Oh, it's that woman that threw him to a wall when he was insane last month; which is really great since he really didn't want to meet the people he wronged last month until he's ready.

And he's not, right now.]

......

[His face showed a sign of surprise, and in fact, fear as he took an involuntary step backwards.]

[scorchedchivalry]

[The look of fear caused Saber's lips to curl up into a cruel smile.]

Afraid, boy?

[yougotthatwrong]

[Oh god. That smile. THAT SMILE. He felt chills in his spine, and that's not a really good one because that very same fear is what caused him to not move another step.]

[He gulped. And nodded.]

WAHOO, I SURE DO LOVE PTSD.

[geometry]

[Equius feels you, bro. He really does. Though he wasn't involved in the October event, he was sitting back in his dead homeworld for a few weeks instead, and sensors indicate that he might not have... come back quite right.]

[And just to add one more thing to Naegi's little stack of misfortunes, he's going to literally run into one (1) weird alien kid who seems way more absorbed with the idea of Slenderman standing in the doorway than anything that's happening in the real world. Such as looking where he's going when passing by other people. ...Also, he might be holding a bow and experiencing some seriously trigger-happy tendencies, so try not to make any sudden moves?]

AW YEAH PTSD

[yougotthatwrong]

[...yeah, the kid's going to just stare when he is recovering from the shock that this guy's not human. The shock wore off pretty quickly though.]

...Sorry.

[He even has his hands up and everything.]

[geometry]

[Equius yelped a bit too loudly when they made contact, but at least he didn't linger; the troll jumped back very quickly, and instead of doing something normal like -- say -- apologizing, he promptly raised his bow and pointed it at Naegi. Good work, Equius. You are well on your way to making some fun new friends in this Tower.]

[...Well hey. At least he didn't fire.]

[yougotthatwrong]

[And hey, at least the guy didn't scream, that would've been horrible, wouldn't it? But either ways, he doesn't seem to be moving, as he's still rooted to his spot as if his life depended on it.

...That, and he's not really in the right mood for a "RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE" thing.]

L-look, I... won't do anything, okay...?

[...He's going to at least try to get the other guy to drop his weapon.]

B

[surpassthelimit]

[Kid, hiding and skulking about just makes you all that more suspicious. WHAT ARE YOU DOING, NAEGI/]

...you got a problem, kid?

[yougotthatwrong]

[He's given up to even look suspicious at this point because it's pretty clear that his luck is making an intervention of some sorts.]

...Not really.

[Small progress! At least he's answering to people now.]

[surpassthelimit]

What do you call it then?

[Because he is not impressed. Then again, viewing everyone as a potential enemy for the time being was working out.]

[yougotthatwrong]

Dumb luck.

[Yeah, he's not in the mood to be an optimistic teen right now.]

[ Don't mind Leon over here, he's just angrily (and somewhat panicked, honestly) trying to get rid of the costume he got after the event here. There's enough boxes and stuff, not like he'd ever have to look at it again if he would just leave it somewhere here? He's just stuffing the rooster costume into the box as if he never wants to even look at it again. Then he turns, rubbing his hands over each other as if he's even trying to get rid of the remains of holding that thing in his hands.. and then he spots Naegi. Or.. well, Naegi looking normal again yet not, despite him seeming normal on the outside it's still like something's weird about him, and Leon still is a little fidgety too (especially after he figures the guy must've seen him stuffing away the costume) so he stumbles over his words at first. ]

Y.. yo, Naegi.

[yougotthatwrong]

.................

[The person in question stopped, but strangely even for him, Naegi didn't even say anything as he just took a step backward in surprise. He wasn't really ready to meet his classmates from the school, much less him being in this sorry state after being...

Being forced to...

Nevertheless, he's going to take a step back, still not letting out a single word.]

[tsunball]

[ ... Huh?

Wait, why is he so weird..? Leon doesn't understand - since it didn't happen to himself and his empathy skills aren't as fine-tuned as most other people's unless he gets really serious - why he would feel so bad about it, so he doesn't seek that reason behind it.. Instead he just looks really confused. ]

What's wrong?!

ITT: Really deep and meaningful conversations

[forgetbeam]

[Room for one more in this trauma party? Because there's another lost soul wandering the halls trying to go about his day and not think about Halloween at all.

As he passes by Naegi, he stops and stares at him, wanting to ask him what all that was the last time he saw him, but he can't find the words at all.]

. . .

REALLY DEEP

[yougotthatwrong]

... ...

[...Oh god, another one of his classmate, why can't this place just leave him alone...?

He's going to take a step back, because he has no idea what the other guy's thinking right now.]

The philosophical debate of the century as told in ellipses.

[forgetbeam]

[There are a few things on his mind, sure. The fact that he couldn't help his brother keep his promise. The fact that death can happen again and again here. The fact that he was so wrong in thinking there was no place worse than Hope's Peak.]

. . . . .

[...The fact that Naegi's backing off instead of saying something encouraging. If this place has even broken him, then...

What hope is there?]

Sorry for the delay. Done now.

[superlvldots]

[Kirigiri expected to meet Naegi eventually, given how she's been looking for him for the past few days, steadily gathering clues and witness reports of him. She didn't expect him to find her. This one is a lot less subtle than the one she knows, but it's of little help. After all, while she may almost know Naegi's method without fail, and certainly be capable of predicting Monobear's actions, an amalgamation of the two is a completely new entity to her.]

[And yet, she would be putting all her prior effort to waste if she didn't try to attempt to reason with him. She's confident than the difference in physical strength is not overwhelming enough on either side that she can't simply escape if things go sour, and quite frankly, even she's starting to think that she has other things she could attend to. The ever-increasing pressure of collecting candy, namely.]

...Naegi-kun. You look happier than usual.

[No, that was not mocking at all. At least, it doesn't sound look it. You know her better than that by now, don't you, Naegi?]

[yougotthatwrong]

Why~ Of course I'm happy~

[A smile. A sickeningly sweet one at that, it was the boy's response to the girl's statement as he practically just stepped closer, violating what could be considered her personal space.]

After all, a sweet bear like me is happy all the time!

[superlvldots]

[Kirigiri doesn't step back, but her gaze does noticeably sharpen. Naegi should now recognize it as one that she didn't even use when faced with Monobear, because at least he never tried to harm her personally. As much of a warning as Kirigiri's willing to give.]

Your behavior's starting to be troublesome for others... I'm here to take you back to your room.

[He should be able to notice the distinctive lack of the word 'ask' in that sentence. if he's anything like their former captor, he won't comply. If he's different enough from him, then Kirigiri may only need to use words to trick him into doing so.]
