I wasn't trying to be NICE.

( he'll take the chip buddy though he........ guesses........................ )

You shouldn't waste things.

( luckily it hasn't been opened??? open it and then threw it at him, bitch! so he's going to pick it up off the floor, and attempt to open it just in case natsume's maiden hands cant. )

Especially when this is a date for you...

( the water continues to rain down, and around them there's a few indents here and there from where ball monokuma ran into things. aside from that, the body down the hall is sliding along the water, and it's mouth parts almost like it's gasping for breath, but you know... can they even see that? some weird shit is going on over there, but this ain't about the corpse, this is about natsume. )

( as soon as komaeda gets that open and gives it to him it's going back in his face so what is the point— )

If I thought you'd want to fulfill that particular WISH, I wouldn't have put it up at ALL. ( natsume looks past him, taking in the scene... except for the body, he's going to ignore that.

...he's begrudgingly curious, so: ) Why did you take IT?

( he's going to get it open for natsume, and once it's open, he'll hold it up for him to take. )

Because you went out of your way to grant one of my wishes, then failed the other.

( he's a masochist who likes verbal abuse, natsume already fulfilled that one as soon as he spoke to komaeda. )

You look like the type of person who doesn't handle rejection well, so indulging you this way opens the possibility of bossing me around without the commitment. ...You'll break up with me before the date is over, so we should enjoy this while it lasts.

( what do you think? :) )

Just because we're on a date doesn't mean we're daTING.

( just. putting that out there, taking the can of juice and ... not immediately throwing it back on his date, so that's worth something, maybe. natsume purses his lips, idly thumbing the can.

he'd only meant to grant one anyway, but it hadn't even been the one he sought, because he hadn't fulfilled the requirements. some magician of happiness he is - you can't please everyone either, though. )

I'll accept your reasoning, I GUESS. ( :/ ) There aren't many date activities we can do inSIDE, particularly considering your culinary skills are laCKING.

( aw, not him a magician of happiness. )

So you must know others aside from cooking, right?

( komaeda knows that natsume is skilled in his craft when it comes to making bombs and the like, and he still finds that sort of thing useful. bomb the yogenment, he thinks. he won't press for it just yet, instead, he'll think of something else related to the date that they can do. he gave him rain — the cool, pink tinge that's better than the summer heat is a nice way to relax. )

We can go back and forth on ideas... I'm thinking a funeral would be interesting.

( "interesting." yeah, he does, besides they already have a body here that can be used. )

Then we can debate on how they died, what do you think?

( uh, )

No THANKS. I'd rather we bury it or someTHING. ( before someone finds it? great date activities: dig a grave ) It's disrespectful to the dead to talk so frivolousLY... They can't pass on peacefully while disturbed like this eiTHER.

Where would you want to bury it?

( they could cut it up to put in the sinks, or they could flush the remaining parts. or stuff it in the stuco office so that it rots, and well... maya will to suffer. )

Hm... what about the killing game not too long ago... do you believe they passed on peacefully?

( we are Not putting it in the stuco office. )

The courtYARD... and no, I don't think SO. ( a brief look up at the sprinklers - do those shut off on their own. he doesn't know. dammit. ) People who die suddenLY, by murder or otherWISE, tend to have regrets — that's what keeps them tied to this mortal PLANE.

( trojan horse time :/ )

I don't have regrets.

( that's what he says on the matter before staring at his prosthetic arm — he's done things he shouldn't have like watch others die, how children slaughtered their own parents and other adults, how he fueled war in a city just to see the outcome of hope and despair. )

Those who regret upon their death are weak, perhaps lonely... but they're the perfect stepping stones for the strongest beings to walk the earth.

( ... )

Have you tried escaping the school through the window, we can hoist it out!

( don't put his name anywhere near this and you can do whatever you want :/

he doesn't know where to begin with— any of that, but at least the very last part is something he can respond to, so he choose to ignore the rest (temporary) and focus on that. )

I haven't tried escaPING, considering there are a limited number of windows I'm able to open and get the screens up ON, not to mention how many of those actually face the courtYARD... ( which is like one, because floorplans are hard, i understand ori's struggle ) But I do know an opening implies our passage THROUGH. I'm just not accustomed to climBING, and I'm not risking my body just for a little jaunt around the SCHOOL.

( he didn't say no to hoist the corpse out the window thing though. )

What you're saying is that you want to use my body? I didn't know you were that type of person...

( he jokes, shaking his head as he glances in the direction of the body as the water pools towards it, past it by slipping underneath the doors. it's not like he hasn't dragged a body before, so he takes a step towards the direction while staying on the side so he doesn't get drenched. )

Dito-kun wanted to throw me out once, so maybe if I'm thrown out again, the screen will open.

( come on natsume, lead the way, and komaeda will handle the dirty work. )

( god you're so gross, komaeda.

natsume'll lead the way though, giving the body a glance — no one he knows, not even in the vague "maybe this one is in my class" sense, which is ... a little better for him. )

You're too heavy for me to LIFT, so get that idea out of your HEAD. ( grumble— ) If I could throw you OUT, I'd do it in a heartBEAT, what other people think of me be DAMNED.

( ...maybe. anyway, stairwell. )

I'd like to see you try, you are pretty...

( thin? a twig? luckily for natsume, komaeda doesn't say anything else on the matter considering he does find him actually pretty. beautiful people, ugly people, he'll let them know when he sees them, but he should accept this decent accusation that leaves from his lips. )

To throw someone out, it'd be best to... take them to 1-D, right? It has a nice view of the courtyard.

( they could always go to the student council, and komaeda could borrow gundham's key to get inside, but that would probably cause problems for everyone involved. what if maya's into dead bodies because of her personality? you never know. that aside, he wonders if there's something they can use to carry the body, because komaeda has done his fair share, and he's not the best person for that sort of mission either. )

...Do you think the workshop has a platform truck?

( pretty? pretty what? ...he wishes komaeda had finished off his thought instead of leaving it there, even if anything he finished it with might've just made him mad; now it just sounds like he thinks he's pretty, which is objectively true but not at all how he wants to be described. pretty is a little too feminine for him - better than cute by far, but... )

Have you ever been to an ordinary high school in your LIFE? ( not that natsume has but ) We'd be more likely to find that type of thing outSIDE, for plants and soil and SUCH.

( except.

Except.

they have elevator construction going on this moth, and natsume looks in the direction of it. huh... hm... )

But perhaps we can find one anyWAY. How else would they get the supplies and tools needed into the school to work on the clocktower's soon-to-be-usable elevaTOR?

No, I have not. I attended Hope's Peak Academy where Ultimates are scouted, they're special and different compared to the weaklings that harbor the world, too.

( they're chosen for their abilities, and how they're better than others — it makes him wonder how people are chosen here to attend this school as well, but he'll figure it out next time. what he wants to do is remind natsume that he's far from normal, that komaeda couldn't even be considered the word even though there's a place deep in his heart that aches for it. he ignores it, he doesn't believe it exists, because he only wants to live in a world filled with hope and talent, he'll do anything for it. )

...I wonder what else they have that we can borrow.

( do they even leave their tools here? holy shit, about to take something for the future that komaeda could use. as they walk past one of the sprinklers, the head falls off, hitting the ground with a loud clack, but it makes the "rainwater" wider in its reach. so if natsume doesn't want to be splashed, maybe he should stand next to komaeda closely who doesn't mind taking the hit. )

You're pretty... ( ... ) smart, Sakasaki-kun. Wanting to take advantage of the clueless workers who work in order to make our lives easier.

( a school full of geniuses - and? you only stay a genius for so long; even the truly extraordinary aren't exempt from that.

natsume debates the pros and cons of getting close to komaeda versus taking the L in the sprinkler, and. fine, he hates the idea of being soaked more than he hates komaeda, so he moves closer to him. )

Smart isn't the word other people would USE, especially with a follow-up line like THAT. ( he also feels like it's common sense, so smart isn't really what he'd call it, either. he's just putting some basic observations on the table. ) At the end of the DAY, the only people we have to rely on are ourselves and those of us that can't leave the school when the rest of the student body goes HOME. Not the worKERS, not the student counCIL, not the teachers or any spirits that may still reside HERE.

( ... )

A little petty crime never hurt anyone anyWAY.

( comments local terrorist natsume sakasaki who unabashedly put a bomb in a bathroom sink and would plant a bomb anywhere else without a second thought )

Coming so close to me, are you okay, Sakasaki-kun?

( he takes notice of that, especially with how he's splashed by the sprinkler on one side that he's covered in the pink stain of the water, half of his uniform drenched while he stares at the other. to be honest, this is quite surprising, but komaeda isn't the type to put his arm around just anyone. before, natsume hated komaeda being close to him, so it makes him wonder what changed his entire view — no, he's not thinking of the water because it's just a little splash, he should be able to handle something like that, right? )

I don't have much say on the workers, or the teachers, or even the spirits —

( one spirit tried to eat away at saihara once, but that was like him watching how much the ultimate detective's hope and his will to live. actually, that was pretty exciting for komaeda, yeah he was light-headed from stabbing himself, but he'd do it again to see that. )

I will say the Student Council... they're interesting, I believe that Arisu-san has the right idea in enabling the hopes of others, besides, she helped Ishimaru-kun... no one believed he would make it, and he did.

( the way he won't let komaeda help who is also good at planting bombs and moving them if people become to aware of where they are. he does want to learn natsume's craftsmanship when it comes to them, but he guesses his time will come soon, and as they come closer to the stairwell... the body appears to be missing a few pieces of skin. hm, komaeda's not too bothered. )

( the nice thing about natsume is he can pick what part of a conversation he wants to reply to and no one will fault him for it. today's part is none of these though; instead it's him making a small face at the meat showing on the body before it smooths over again.

...conversation— )

Are you referring to her death MATCH? I adMIT, I can't bring myself to be surprised at all that that was her preferred way of choosing a new memBER... The little wolf lives up to her NAME.

A carnivore... that eats the flesh of the weak, is that how you view Arisu-san?

( that's a sort of symbolism he thinks about, the way she's aware of her surroundings, how she has her own little pack — maybe natsume is also part of that as to why he says that. )

You should be careful, or little wolf will devour you too, ehe~.

( he's going to allow natsume search for where the cart may be, as for komaeda? he's going to go back to the deceased body to grab their wrist, watching as their throat is swollen from something inside, or that's just how they were flattered and the air pushed up. either way, he's using the water to make it easier for him to slide, dragging them back into the stairwell, and he'll use his backside to push the door open so he can get through — )

A carnivore, yes, but... Someone who is extremely protective of what she LOVES, and who won't hesitate when she has to rip someone's throat OUT.

( it's what he admires about her - her strength of will. anyway, he'll search for some kind of trolley or pull cart or whatever, dragging it over once he's managed to. it isn't in the best shape, but it'll do, pig. it'll do. )

I'm a hunter THOUGH, ( he says idly, referring to the last patt of komaeda'd words. ) I don't get eaTEN.

Her personality does fit it, she doesn't easily show herself to others...

( he mentions to himself, thinking about all the times she's put distance between herself and others, but she does appear to be the type protect what she has. it makes komaeda laugh at the thought, a little jealous that she can do something like that. imagine having someone that you can love enough to kill for — well, imagine loving without an obsession.

is that what he carried the bodies on to the window? lmfaoooo!

upon natsume's return, komaeda pulls the body onto the trolley, and he reaches out with his prosthetic to brush against their neck. it feels thin, that it's ready to pop at any moment if he continues to mess with it. )

A hunter... does that mean you're after her?

( ... ) Or what she loves...

Wouldn't you like to KNOW.

( she isn't a game to him, so it isn't like he can say her... and hiro has become less a target and more of an existence he appreciates the company of, so he isn't much of prey either. natsume smacks his (non-prosthetic) shoulder, wiping his hand off on the stairwell wall after. )

Stop touching it like that, you FREAK. Let's get this over WITH.

Hunting people for sport, but I bet you can easily be eaten alive. I'll root for Arisu-san.

( he's placed his bets, and maya if you see this, tear him limb from limb. well, that's what he'd think until he's smacked on the shoulder. his brow raises as he looks at natsume, tilting his head like a dog until he glances down at the body. ) Hmmm... alright.

( he stands up properly, leaving the cart to natsume to pull... yes twink, get them muscles in action so that he'll be fit for the host club. )

You shouldn't say it like we killed them... but, it's a good thing they've died like this... their hope was weak, after all... we don't need the weak among our ranks.

( he wouldn't want komaeda to bet on him anyway. gross.

but god....... he hates extra physical labor - practice is one thing, gym is another, and he skips out on the latter almost all of the time. he almost considers just leaving it here, but no, they're doing this he guesses, so he'll od his best to pull it along :/ twink he may be but idols do be movin a lot u know... they got that stamina. )

There isn't much hope can do against attacks people aren't prepared FOR. ( wryly said. ) Can you really judge someone's merit on THAT?
