[yougotthatwrong]

[Screaming.

That had been what he was doing ever since he woke up from a pod and finding that his body was literally a wireframe construct. Of course it'd make sense that their body had been artificial, but to think that everything else besides his soul is that way.

Well, uh.

That's a whole another ball game, to be honest. Sorry Leon.

So yeah, feel free to have a wireframe with a certain ahoge just running around the tower up and down the dormitory, trying to check for his friends while being really antsy.]

[ghostytrainer]

[What a coincidence. This wireframe is also looking for his friends. He probably should have been looking more where he was going though because he totally just ran smack into ahoge-frame on the stairs.]

Ack! Sorry, dude! You okay? [John has no idea who the hell he just ran into or if they are even actually a guy.]

[yougotthatwrong]

Urgh...

[It's a good thing he was lucky enough to grab hold of the railings before falling over completely, otherwise that would've been a damn mess knowing the current state of the tower.

...

Can this body even shatter and let his soul flow all ov- no that's way too morbid to think about.

Wait, that voice —]

John?

[ghostytrainer]

Erm, yeah it's me! Short John, specifically. [You know, since there are two of them. And it is likely impossible to tell them apart now.] The one with the Pokémon.

[The voice of ahoge-frame sounds familiar but he's having a hard time placing it...]

[yougotthatwrong]

It's me— Naegi.

[There's an awkward scratching of whatever his head is, but well, at least it's someone he knows, so that's a start.]

Are you alright?

[ghostytrainer]

Oh! I thought your voice was familiar, I was just having trouble placing it for certain. [He flashes a wire thumbs up.]

I'm perfectly alright. Sorry I ran into you though, I should have been paying more attention to where I was going... what about you, do you doing alright?

[He's...remarkably calm, all things considered.]

[yougotthatwrong]

...Alright would be a stretch, I think.

[he's calmed down a fair bit, but well, can't stop him from running up and down to find his friends, to be honest.]

GDIT NAEGI IS THIS WHAT YOU LEAVE HIM.. BALL PUNS..

[chainsawn]

[ At least there's one person who is taking all of this well. In fact, Urotsuki seems - attitude-wise, of course, since her body is all weird too - as normal as always, even just.. calm. She's standing in one of the dormitory hallways, idly staring at people as they walk past, or more often hurry. ]

Everyone's in a real rush, huh.. [ Even her tone is as blank as ever. ]

[yougotthatwrong]

[And there's a skid as one of the wireframes that could be identified with an ahoge stopped completely, noticing the blank voice belonging to a certain person who he knows is kinda used to weird things happening to her body.]

...Urotsuki-san, this kind of reaction is completely normal, to be honest.

[He's... keeping his tone level, even though internally he's not calm at all.]

[chainsawn]

.. Is it..?

[ Of course she's way too oblivious to recognize that Naegi himself might be freaked out about all of this too, she's just assuming he's just fine like her since he's talking to her plainly.. ]

Why would people suddenly all be in a rush because of something like this? That's so weird.

[yougotthatwrong]

They're not used to these kinds of revelations...?

[There's uncertainty by the end of the sentence but regardless Naegi's attempt to look calm is working considering reading faces just got a few bit harder during this mess.]

[chainsawn]

Something like this hasn't happened to me before though. This is the first time. [ Since that clearly makes the difference here.. ] .. Or are you saying you're the one who's used to all this?

You sure deal with weird stuff if you're used to turning out to look exactly like this all the time.

[ YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY THAT OF ALL PEOPLE, UROTSUKI. ]

[yougotthatwrong]

But you're the one that went through weirder things than this.

[turning yourself into a rainbow is a pretty weird trick okay!!!]

[cutestprogrammer]

[After somewhat calming down, Chihiro has grown rather curious about their new (?) surroundings. So everything was a sort of virtual reality then? What was this archived? How was it possible? He sets about examining everything and is busy studying this wall over here when Naegi bumps into him!]

[yougotthatwrong]

Whoa—

[His balance was disrupted by that sudden bump, considering he had been in a full run up until that very moment Chihiro crossed his personal space, causing him to fall to the ground unceremoniously.]

H-hey, are you alright?

[Regardless he's going to check on the other person first!]

[cutestprogrammer]

[Chihiro cries out in surprise when he's bumped into and falls back as well. Huh? That voice...]

Na-Naegi-kun...? Is that you?

[yougotthatwrong]

Yeah, it's me.

[...He's rubbing the back of his head as he properly identified the voice this time, of course, seeing Chihiro's outline not with a skirt is kind of disorienting, but then again, it's pretty much normal at this point, seeing unusual sights like this.]

[cutestprogrammer]

[Chihiro gets up and goes over to help Naegi up.] Are you alright, Naegi-kun? Why were you running around like that...?

[yougotthatwrong]

I was looking for the others...

[That's the only reason to be honest.]

[prayed]

[There's only a few people that Kyoko's interested in looking for right now, and even then she's more interested in finding her way throughout the tower, but that's not going to stop her from stopping anyone who's passing by.

So, while Makoto's running down the hallway, he might find that an arm's been stretched out, blocking his path. Kyoko fully intends on catching him before he can get any further away. Trying to run around this place without her powers is seriously annoying.]

Oi! You!

[yougotthatwrong]

Ah— watch out!

[Considering the call was really too surprising for him, it's only normal for him to completely run into her without even being able to stop, noticing her when it's too late.]

[prayed]

[Under normal circumstances, even if she wasn't able to move out of the way, having someone run into her wouldn't be a big deal. Annoying, certainly, even a little jarring, but not enough to warrant more than a little stumbling and knocking the other party on their ass.

Unfortunately, these aren't normal circumstances, and at the moment she's nothing more than a normal teenage girl, so when Makoto crashes into her he's going to crash hard. She completely topples over with a shriek, and in the midst of all that she's just going to grab onto his collar in some desperate attempt to regain her balance.

Of course, that's more likely to just pull him down with her than anything.]

[yougotthatwrong]

[Well, pulled down he was, and fortunately for her he didn't entirely fall onto her as he immediately used his right hand to stop his fall.

Unfortunately their face are kind of inches away now, which lasted for all but a second before Naegi began scooting away and apologizing profusely for what just happened.]

Ah, I'm really sorry! Are you alright?

[prayed]

[It's probably fortunate that he moved, because the idea of shoving him flat on his ass (or, better yet, outright decking him,) is incredibly tempting right now.

She was about to yell at him to watch where he's going--completely ignoring the fact that it's her own fault for not moving out of the way--, but stops when she realizes who it is. After all, there's no way she could mistake the voice of this boy who she just can't seem to stop running into. She sits up, leaning back on her palms, glaring at him and feeling far more embarrassed than she really should.]

You again!?

[Really, how is it that they keep running into each other like this?]

[yougotthatwrong]

A-ah, it's me again...

[There's... no doubt on the owner of the voice, especially considering the surprised tone in her voice. At this point he's just thinking if the world has a thing with pairing them together within this kind of mess without their permission. Awkwardly scratching the back of his head, he's going to continue.]

You look well, at least...?

[And that's one more worry out of his system.]
