[Given the fact that it's been a good amount of time since Himeko's managed to get her bearings together and mull things over, she's finally going to make the decision to actually do something.

Impatience seems to win out in the end, it seems.]

Hi.

Many of you guys might not know me, and I might not know you. But it seems that we're all in the same boat, so I'd like to make amends to that. I'm Inaba, a high school graduate; nothing really special about me. And more importantly: I think that because of that, we should at least try and share any important information - probably in a meeting or something, in person. Although if you want to share things one-on-one, you can find me at classroom 3-B.

But just to make it so that this is a much more interesting post: how about we play 20 questions? But instead of guessing something - let's make it a 'getting to know each other' type of thing. So ask random questions about me. Ah, but I'm not obligated to answer any and all of your questions, alright? This is supposed to be fun, not weird.

[And if anybody does want to physically meet her, she'll be in classroom 3-B like she's said for a good part of the afternoon and evening hours; although people will most certainly find her getting up to walk around the hallways of the school to stretch and look around once again, but she doesn't seem to be looking out for anything in particular... this time. Although if she notices someone, she'll give a rather casual wave.

If she's seen during the silent hours, however: she'll wave quietly using her PDA in a gesture of Let's chat through this.]

I suppose that you did, but I disagree with what you said nonetheless!

I am not privy to every step of the process undertaken by Hope's Peak, but students are scouted and assessed, to ascertain that they are perfect in a given field, or as close to perfect as humanly possible! They select those who are the best of the best at something, it is as simple as that!

[dereban]

That feels like it could lead to many, many problems.

[moraloutrage]

It can't be that bad!! But I do agree that it is imperfect. I would much prefer people to be valued based on how hard they work, instead of natural talent! Now that is the way that the world should run!

[dereban]

Well, I certainly can't prove or say anything one way or another based on vague information.

But I suppose valuing hard work is at least something that is good.

[moraloutrage]

I see. Well I can only provide so much information about the Hope's Peak selection process!

I am glad that you approve of the value of hard work! There is something that we agree on, Inaba-kun!

Now with that covered, I wonder what else there even is to discuss! We already talked about academic futures and ambitions. Ah yes, that is right! Naegi-kun did tell me that friends study things like television shows and movies to connect together. So tell me, Inaba-kun, what sort of television shows do you like?

[dereban]

TV shows?

That's a hard question. Drama and mystery tend to be interesting for me... as well as documentaries.

[moraloutrage]

I see. Quite the interesting answer! Now documentaries are something I would watch anytime! Nothing like something good and educational to watch, am I right?

[dereban]

Learning new things is important, after all.

Do you have any particular shows that you like?

[moraloutrage]

Correct! With every bit of knowledge, our minds become stronger!

I'll watch any documentary series that seems reputable. I also enjoy watching the local news! But for the most part, my study of television shows has been woefully lacking. It is only recently that I learned their value in building friendships!

[dereban]

Ah, yeah... people tend to gossip a lot about the latest TV show and form relationships that way.

It's not a necessity, but it can help in getting to know a person.

[moraloutrage]

That is correct! Before I learned that, I considered any interest without an educational value to be frivolous! But now, I can see the value even in studying such fictional works!

With that, I hope that we can get along, Inaba-kun!

[dereban]

People need to do things outside of just academics, after all. If a person doesn't take care of their mental health, they won't be able to function. So there's always merit into doing things like that.

And same as well.

[moraloutrage]

I see. That is a good point to consider. I have to do what I can to enrich my mental health, so that I can be better suited to studying as hard as I can! Thank you for enlightening me on this matter!

I am glad that you agree. We have to stick together in a situation like this, so I am glad that we can cooperate!
