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...?

Comments

[chainsawn]

.. Ah? So you're saying you can read it from both sides?

[ She's not that quick to catch onto it, Naegi! She's still blinking even now. ]

[yougotthatwrong]

N-no, I can actually only read it this side up...

[urotsuki pls...]

[chainsawn]

[ Hey, she's just calling it like she sees it, okay! ]

.. Then why were you holding it the other way around? Were you practicing reading it like that?

[yougotthatwrong]

...I was just distracted, I guess...

[He must've been really distracted if he didn't even notice that.]

[chainsawn]

Distracted by what?

[ She stares around her, as if she'll find whatever interesting thing he was occupied with like that too. ]

[yougotthatwrong]

A friend of mine.

[He's going to just give a sigh as he closed the book and placed it on the table.]

[chainsawn]

[ .. More looking around.. ]

Is it an invisible friend?

[yougotthatwrong]

...She's not here in this floor right now.

[urotsuki pls.]

[chainsawn]

So you can get distracted by people even when they're not around? [ .. woah. That's a big realisation, even if her shock doesn't show that much, she's so blank emotion-wise. ] That must be difficult. You could get distracted at any time then with how many people there are in this place everywhere.

[yougotthatwrong]

W-well, yes...

[He's starting to get used to her questions lately, which is a plus, to be honest.]

I mean, if you worry about all of them then it's really likely to be distracted...

[chainsawn]

... Then how do you even live..? If you're constantly distracted, you might walk into a wall. It's happened to me before. [ shamelessly admitting it.. ]

[yougotthatwrong]

We organize our thoughts.

[Well, that's the gist of it. And god that came out sounding waaay too serious for even him.]

[chainsawn]

[ She leans over the table, a little closer to him - what is personal space, right. ]

.. Teach me.

[yougotthatwrong]

E-eh?

[He's... going to be inching a bit backward.]

[chainsawn]

[ She leans forward a little further when he backs away. Urotsuki, don't fall off the table.. ]

I want to know how to organize my thoughts too.

[yougotthatwrong]

Th-that's a little bit too sudden, isn't it?

[But she looked really earnest, and this might help him get his mind off this mess, so...]

Alright, I will.

[chainsawn]

... Thank you.

[ She finally sits back in her seat now. ]

Then tell me how to do it. I'll listen right now.

[yougotthatwrong]

Well, let's start off simple, why don't you write down what you do during the day in a diary? It'll help you categorize those random events into something coherent.

[implying coherent is one thing Urotsuki has...]

[chainsawn]

.. Ah, I already have one of those. [ A DREAM DIARY DOESN'T COUNT, UROTSUKI.. ] Except it's on my computer back home..

[yougotthatwrong]

Then why don't we get a new one here? It should be pretty easy to get hold of one.

[...]

A book one, not the computer one, mind you.

[chainsawn]

A book one..? [ She seems to ponder it, staring at him. ]

You know where to find it? .. Ah, of course you do, if you can keep an eye in your head on everything at the same time then you'd know.

[yougotthatwrong]

A-ah, thanks...

[With that, he's going to just stand up, since well, it's still in the afternoon, so might as well do it before it gets too dark for all of them to explore.]

Let's get going, then!

[chainsawn]

[ Yup, she's just going to follow wordlessly, since that's how Urotsuki rolls. Lead the way, captain Naegi! ]

[yougotthatwrong]

[...Hm, the library might be one of the place that has an empty journal one can write in; and if that fails, he can probably just head to the workshop room to get some materials...

Therefore, to the library it is!]

[chainsawn]

[ Just pattering after him. She's fine with anything, okay, just.. looking around her as they go, even, like she's some sort of tourist following the guide - him. ]
