troubled kid is troubled.

[yougotthatwrong]

Who: Makoto Naegi and You!
What: ...Naegi is in need of some advice. It involves a certain idol. Hilarity may or may not ensue.
When: Morning, 31st January
Where: Library, Cafeteria
Format: Brackets, will follow though!
Warning: He's a protag, so usual dense warnings apply???


-A-
[For a while now, a certain high-school kid could be seen spending the most of his time in the cafeteria lately, either reading a book, or just eating while looking partly like a zoned out guy as the day went by. In fact, this time seemed to be pretty bad as you can find him reading a book upside down as he sat in one corner in the cafeteria, still with that distant look on his eyes.]


-B-
[Or you can find him buried in books in the library.

Literally.

See, while he's lucky that the book case didn't fall on him, he still had the misfortune of being trapped beneath a lot of books.]

A little help here...?

[surpassthelimit]

[No, that's not fooling Axel. It's none of his business, really, but somehow, that android roped this kid into whatever she was rambling about a few months ago. So he decided to make it his business.

Mostly by taking a spoonful of what he was eating and putting it on the page Naegi was 'reading'. He wanted to see how quickly he'd notice that...or just be surprised by the guy sitting in front of him.]

[yougotthatwrong]

-!??!!!?

[That's going to cause him to actually jerk from the book and onto the floor considering he pushed his chair back so suddenly.]

W-what was that for...!?

B

[liquidouroboros]

[Glancing up from his book...]

[....and going right back to it.]

[If you're not out by the time he finishes this chapter, he might just help.]

[yougotthatwrong]

[w o w rude???

he's not going to yell louder, but it's kinda clear that he's having quite a difficult time wrestling the books.]

Um, excuse me...!

[A little bit louder this time!!!]

B.

[nightfowl]

[Haken can't help but laugh at Naegi's misfortune, but like any good samaritan, goes over to help the kid out.]

Pardner, there's easier ways of getting lost in books.

[and he starts unburying the kid out of the pile.]

[yougotthatwrong]

W-well, it was completely unexpected, to be honest...

[and he's trying to get himself out too...!]

A

[geometry]

[...Naegi. Naegi, water u doin.]

Um.

[One confused-looking troll is hovering over him now.]

You, uh... may want to turn that over.

A

[yougotthatwrong]

Huh?

[There's a confused blink before he realized just what he's been doing.]

O-oh, right!

[TURNING IT OVER.]

A

[chainsawn]

[ ......

The moment Urotsuki spots Naegi, she sits down on the opposite side of his table so she's across from him. And then, slowly but surely, she starts turning her head to try and read the book's cover. ]

[yougotthatwrong]

......Is something the matter?

[just... awkwardly... staring...]

[fish_or_die]

[Jungo doesn't notice that Naegi is reading a book upside down in the cafeteria. He does, however, notice that his friend looks a little lonely. Clearly, that's enough reason for Jungo to fix up some omelets for himself and Naegi to share. Sure, there's a plate already on the table, but Jungo's getting a bit better at making omelets considering they're the only food he's eaten since arriving.

He sets down the plates and takes a seat for himself, sliding one over to Naegi.]

Good morning. [What was his name again? Jungo?]

[yougotthatwrong]

Oh, morning.

[Absentmindedly saying tha-]

When did you get here?

B

[yumizuka]

S-Sorry!!

[ See, the only way anyone ever notices Satsuki is if she accidentally topples an entire bookcase over their head. ]

Please, let me help you with that!

[yougotthatwrong]

Th-that would be nice...

[He's still a bit... dazed...]

A

[heavenscorpse]

You can read upside down?

[That's cool!]

[yougotthatwrong]

...Huh?

[Well, that snapped him out a bit as he realized he's holding the book upside down, whoops.]

O-oh, I guess I was reading it the wrong way, ahaha...

B

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko loved books..but even she knew that being buried in them was never a good idea, not for the books or the person buried in them.

So, when she saw a random patron buried in library books, she started to dig him out.]

How on Earth did you manage to do this?

[yougotthatwrong]

Bad luck, I guess...?

[with the frequency of him getting into all kinds of trouble, this is the most likeliest course of events.]

B

[puppy_lancer]

...What the hell?

[Lancer stares at the boy stuck under the bunch of books.]

What were you trying to do?

[yougotthatwrong]

I was just walking around when this thing fell on me...

[He's just, pushing some of the lighter ones away, seriously, that bookcase seemed a bit smaller when it fell on him...]

A

[seconddaughter]

[MOMO is hovering over your shoulder. MOMO has been hovering over your shoulder for probably a while now, drawing gradually closer as she notices Naegi's lack of attention to the task at hand.]

Is the book... that interesting?

[She asks, with a smile on her face that seems to indicate she knows the answer already. Well, who said she can't have a subtle playful streak, anyway?]

[yougotthatwrong]

-!?

[Considering how surprised he looked? Well, that's pretty much a sign already isn't it.]

I-I guess it is, ahahaha...

B

[pengeen]

[Well Kidou came into the Library for a good reason but he's completely forgotten what that was as he sees all those books fall onto the poor kid. He hurries over to help.]

Are you alright?!

[That being said as he starts moving books to the side.]

[yougotthatwrong]

Y-yeah...

[Nothing sprained or other injuries of that sort...

well, aside from a bump on his head, but that one's easy to deal with.]

B

[ghostytrainer]

[What in the...]

[John spends a good minute just staring at the pile of books, his Litwick bobbing a few inches above his shoulder with a curious look on her face.]

What did you do? Get in a fight with the bookshelf and lose?

[yougotthatwrong]

...Well, sort of.

[At least his head's not buried under the books...]

Latecomer for A

[warriorscribe]

*Have a random guy looking at the book's cover for a while. Was the book's cover merely on upside-down? Or was he just that bad at trying to avoid attention?*

I...hope you know you're reading that upside down.

[yougotthatwrong]

...

[Turning it over wordlessly. And looking pretty awkward all things considered.]

Y-yeah, I knew.

B

[mustlovedogs]

[What's Mondo even doing in the library? Actually he goes there sometimes if he's going to check the computers. He'd go help anyone, but as soon as he realises whose voice that is, he goes running over to help ASAP.]

Naegi?! The hell're you doing?!

[yougotthatwrong]

A-ah, the bookcase just fell on me...

[y e p.]

B

[egotist]

[Togami just walks up to him after the crash happens and picks up a book he was meaning to get. So very nonchalantly.]

I've been looking for this.

[yougotthatwrong]

[SIGH.

If it's this person, he can't expect anything much in terms of physical help of some sort, so he's going to try to pry himself off.]

I'm glad that you found it, then.

[whoops, someone's a little crabby.]

B

[cutestprogrammer]

... Neagi-kun!!

[he quickly runs over to start removing some of the books!]

[yougotthatwrong]

F-fujisaki-san...?

[He's still a bit dazed whoops.]
