a) travels
• open — 05/19, 2nd floor, right wing
( it takes little time for him to figure out the idea — that he can't leave. what's really strange about it is that... others can? there's a distinct lack of physical barriers preventing him, but even so, it's as if the world itself is engineered to trap him here. it is... something that he makes note of, but after some time spent checking his options, it's also something he sincerely doubts will be easily solved. more importantly, what he notices is that there are some students who just... don't go home. as if they aren't concerned with even trying to leave, even as the building begins to empty out for the evening.b) find my way
so it's them he decides to focus on, and the next person to pass him in the hallway is his first victim. with a wave to draw their attention, amami offers a smile. at the same time, his mind turns, trying to figure out how best to phrase this so he doesn't seem like he's crazy if he's wrong. lets see... first off: )
Sorry, but do you have a minute?
• open — 05/19, 1st floor, bulletin board
( another thing he finds to be of note as he wanders through the halls is the bulletin board. the rules, for one, are beyond bizarre — that's a puzzle that he's going to pocket for the time being. what he's really interested in right now is the class assignments. it takes him a few minutes, peering through the names recorded on the sheet, but it does strike him that not all of the names are unfamiliar. a few stand out: kaede akamatsu, shuichi saihara, kokichi ouma... if it's true... well, at least one of those names is someone that amami has reason to consider may be trustworthy in a situation like this.c) wildcard
option one:
this time, victim number two is anybody who happens to be near the front hall. turning to glance at them, he gestures to the sheet. )
Hey, you wouldn't happen to know Kaede Akamatsu, would you?
option two:
( or maybe your name is one of those he'd recognize in the first place. in that case, when he turns, instead of an amicable smile, you're treated with a momentary expression of wide-eyed surprise. )
What a coincidence, I didn't think I'd see you here.
• open — anywhere, any time
( have an idea? feel free to throw anything else my way, or if you're unsure, you can hit me up via pm or atkagehira! )

no subject
( if it doesn't belong to him, then that means it just happened to appear out of the blue. tapping his chin, he looks towards amami curiously while trying to find something in his eyes, maybe a sign that he's lying. though in those eyes, komaeda can only find himself looking longingly, and then he stops by looking away. lifting one hand, he stares into the center as he follows the lifelines that spreads here and there. )
Can I ask your opinion...? A talented Ultimate like yourself would have something worthwhile to say.
no subject
( really, legitimately, he's unsure how this guy even knows he has a talent in the first place; it isn't as if he's gone and told anybody of the fact. why would he, when he can't even follow it up with what it is? all he's done is confirm that, well, he probably does have one, and based on that alone... being treated so differently over it is kind of jarring.
anyway, amami returns his attention to him, and... this guy really likes to look at his hand, huh. )
If you still want to hear it though, I don't see why not. What's up?
no subject
( alarming, familiar, and komaeda pauses as he stares at him instead of his palm. his attention is focused more on the fact of what he knows than bringing up something that could lead them further into what they don't know. he sighs softly, and the expression is wears is filled with doubt. there's no way, he's unable to believe it. )
You feel just like a...
( he doesn't remember? the importance of a talent is how their hope is ranked, and his is probably a pretty strong one, but he doesn't remember? komaeda's caught off guard as he takes a step away, putting more distance between them.
this has happened once to him, but the things that happened later made up for it, but the same trope can't be used twice? right? ) An unusual character... ah, what am I saying... You have a talent regardless...
no subject
( you sorta have to be at least a little bit insane to have a talent, right? as far as amami's concerned, his own insanity kind of goes right over his head, so of course he has some trouble believing that he belongs after meeting some of the other ultimates.
he doesn't mind the doubt that crosses the other's expression, something almost resembling disappointment; he supposes he can add on just a little bit more though. )
Not that I don't want to have one — like, what if it's something cool, y'know?
no subject
( being able to feel hope, despair and talent probably comes at a price, but he's always been able to differentiate when speaking to someone, or just being close by. that's how he was able to find amami in the first place when he was located in the library. ah, but this isn't his sad story, it's more the other's for not being able to remember his. )
Besides, you could have used it now! Maybe... Ultimate Stalker!
( because he did kind of follow komaeda around until he got to the school rules, he was pretty good at that, but komaeda had a feeling some talented individual was after him. ) There's also Ultimate Optimism, but... ( maybe that's for a more excitable person, not like amami isn't, but they usual have more energy. )
Ultimate Stalker sounds better!
no subject
( also, it's not cool. he wants something interesting, something that feels like it suits who he is, and something that... doesn't make him sound like a grade-A creep, to be honest. being an optimist is a huge step up, but at the same time? )
Optimism sounds off too. I try to put in an effort, but in the end, I'd consider myself more of a realist, y'know?
( he shakes his head, looking tired. )
Honestly, it's not like I haven't tried to figure it out. It's just, no matter how much I do, I can't remember anything about it.
no subject
( like he thought before, he knew, but you know, someone could have made their person known before stumbling up on him! even though komaeda spoke first. )
Yeah, I thought so too. You lack the energy, but it might be interesting.
( like someone else's, but there's no time thinking about them right now — he wouldn't want to delay their goal any more than komaeda already has. ) Ultimate Amnesiac sounds pretty on brand too, but... perhaps this school will help you remember.
( for once, it seems like komaeda is putting his lower worth aside as he pats the other on his shoulder reassuringly, and then down that same arm drops back by his side. )
no subject
( this isn't his fault, hello? the pat on his shoulder feels kind of... condescending, or maybe the word is factitious? either way, amami's not really a fan, and he kind of makes a face. )
I don't think that's a real talent, but... yeah. Maybe it just needs time.
( not like he got a lot of it before he ended up here, depressing as the thought is. )
no subject
how was komaeda walking fast? )
The jar of fingernails, where are you keeping them?
( he switches the conversation, not because he doesn't want to talk about their previous topic, but because he has a habit of moving things here and there. swapping the conversation when he feels like it without a care for whatever someone was talking about, and it's not like the other wants to talk about his ultimate stalker talent. )
no subject
anyway, the topic switch is kind of a relief for amami. even if... the new one isn't so appealing either. )
My locker, why?
