ethics...club...

Who: the ethics club and whoever wants to crash their party
When: whenever in august!
What: just a mingle post for the disasters
Warnings: uhhh...........well there's a bunch of problematic people here probably, so we'll see how this goes. will update.

The "ethics" club isn't really that well furnished so far. So far, there's only a few things -- things that only Josh is able to access, as well as a dart board, a cheap (and faulty) polygraph machine, and a button maker?

Well, the other members will have to make those. But he does have a certain design for it, if someone was interested in ""helping"" him make the pins...

Otherwise, Joshua's probably usually in here, in classroom 2-D, and he won't turn anyone away. He might warn of anyone coming in of their eccentric group, but he doesn't really mind either way.

But there are papers spread around, not that he really wants to do the work of ensuring that his club stays open, but he figures there's no use in just ignoring it. So there's probably going to be some reports to go through on the papers, or something that could be defined as work.

Loosely.

There's a folder on the desk he'd moved next to the door which holds the topic of the month on it for whoever comes into the room:

good and evil: how do you spot the difference? Do those lines truly exist?

He's very interested in what people would say about it.

( is she... frustrated? he can't really tell, but something about this conversation worries him about her. she should know better than anyone else that when it comes to hope, komaeda would kill, but to be asked if there's someone he wouldn't kill... even if hope was on the line... )

...

( he smiles, taking the pencil from her so he can reply: do you need me to help you kill someone? a death that'll help build your hope... i can hear you out. you shouldn't let my feelings get in the way of your success. )

[SLAMS BOOK DOWN FLAT]

Just say "no," then! If the answer is "no," then say it!

Stephanie... What's wrong?

( they were playing a pretty nice game, did something happen? or is she disappointed in komaeda already, maybe he shouldn't have beat around the bush, but at least she's talking to him.

even though he started the game. )


I meant it when I said they aren't here.

( it is summer break... )
closewithnewintown: (no I can't risk falling off my throne)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-28 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Which makes the answer "no!" [/patently unaware of the greater rokkun lore and assumes he's talking about some Ultimate back home he wants to be an end table for.

huffs.]
I almost wish you guys were in here doing murders instead of practicing not giving real answers to questions.

( what about hinata, he may not be god mode right now, but!! this is kind of about him too, but she's right, he does miss his version of hinata back home... who is also not here right now... their hinata has to grow up a bit more... this is complicated.

rokkun is also complicated. )


It's rhetorical. I'd do anything for hope, even if it means losing someone I care about. Is that what you want me to say?

( it's probably a bit lonely to say that, but he seems fine. he's enjoying the conversation. )

Welcome to Ethics Club, are you going to join? It'd be nice to have a friend.
closewithnewintown: (I've been working my ass off)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-28 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
I only want you to say the truth. That's all.

[she leans back in her chair a little, frowning.] Is that really what you're calling it? I thought it was a joke. It is a joke, right?
commences: (pic♯14928497)

[personal profile] commences 2021-08-28 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
I see no reason to lie when it comes to hope, there's not one person who doesn't make a proper stepping stone... But, if you're ever interested in making your own for the group's hope...!

( he places a hand to his chest, genuine about this as he looks towards her. as long as it's for hope, he can make the necessary sacrifices, he'd even become one himself... not a day goes by that he doesn't think about taking his turn to help the group move forward. that sounds like the best outcome for him anyway. )

It's not a joke, I really do believe he needs a friend here.

( and he points to shin in his shrimp posture making buttons, just look at him stephanie. he needs something. )
closewithnewintown: (I booked today's appointment)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-28 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
[flatly] No, I am not planning on murdering or being murdered, thank you. Trust me. You'll be the first to know if that ever changes.

[there's a moment where her brain wonders why that sounded vaguely like a threat, but, she shakes it off.

frowns.]
I get why the crazy murder people are here with you. I expected them to be here. Nobody else makes much sense, though. [pause] That's a good reason to answer my last question. But, that means you answered three for me, and I only answered one for you. That's not really fair.
commences: (pic♯14928537)

[personal profile] commences 2021-08-28 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
...? Do you trust me when it comes to that. I understand hope is difficult for you to understand, but I'd take my time.

( explaining it to her when she's dead, staying by her body and breaking down the idea of it. waiting to be caught for his crime because he would have promised her he wouldn't leave her alone. it'll just be a conversation between him, her, and their hope until it's shared to the world.

that's what it would be like, he would give her that. )


Crazy murder people...? That's pretty rude, they haven't done anything. You should get to know them, at least.

( ...her last question? well, he's going to get up from his seat to pluck the last set of her question off of the board to read it himself. he laughs, nodding his head, as he also takes his last two questions to bring over to stephanie. )

That means I won the game, ahaha.
closewithnewintown: (I try to breathe deep as I try to)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-28 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
... I guess? [while not even vaguely understanding what he's getting at. it's most important that he knows she trusts him, she thinks.]

When people are crazy and do murders, what else are you supposed to call them? You knew exactly who I meant. [begins reading over the other questions.] And it's not really the kind of game you wi...

[she glances up at him.]

This one isn't even a question. What were you planning on doing if I covered my eyes? [because that is "tricking you into opening your hand and putting a live spider in it" talk if she's ever heard it. and she's heard it a lot.]
commences: (pic♯14928486)

[personal profile] commences 2021-08-28 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm taking a guess that when you expected them to be here, you were referring to those in this room... It was more context clues, but...

( there's a mix bag of people in here with amami, helena and shin if stephanie ever catches them in here. they could balance out the room, but some of them visit to see others, and aren't really part of the group like stephanie. )

You'll have to do it to see, that's how you answer that question.

( she doesn't expect him to answer four, right? one especially being his own request. )
closewithnewintown: ('cause I've been so good)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-28 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I figured that Dito and Add and Josh would be here. [including the latter might be unfair but josh is on her shitlist so she doesn't care.] And you have some kind of... weird peer pressure thing going on with Crona. Anyone else is just... I don't know.

[she doesn't know how to say "I'm surprised Helena can stand to be in a room with you" in a nice way, so she doesn't say it.]

Hm... [she turns the papers over in her hand.] I wanna protect everybody here, 'cause we're all in the same boat, but Hiro... He just seems like he needs it more. I've never been excited for summer break to end.

[she misses him a whole lot, okay. and then, after a brief moment of consideration... she puts her hands over her eyes. no peeking.]

Kiryu-kun is the one who owns this club, don't you think he's creative enough to handle most of everyone who comes here?

( THE NAMEDROPS. he pauses, cants his head to the side as he tries to drink in the information she's feeding him, and he can't help but laugh at the bit about crona. is that how she views their relationship that komaeda is molding them to be this way? )

That breaks my heart you believe that Crona-san is being peer pressured, this is what they want... and who am I to deny them that...

( he sighs, crossing his arms like he's been accused for something that he doesn't think is right. he won't cause a fuss, and instead he watches her, curious what she has to next. )

Are you afraid of what may happen to him... His hope makes me curious, for someone who doesn't speak, he must know so much, and can only give so little... ( as she covers her eyes, komaeda proceeds to dig something out of his pocket, a certain charm that he sits in front of stephanie. ) That boy he stabbed... it was organized from the start.

( because when it came to hiro, stephanie had always worried about him, fretted over his survival — when there was a chance that he could have killed aiko, she was the person who supported him, wanting to know the truth, and there were others who.. condemned him. )
closewithnewintown: (what)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-29 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Creative is... certainly a word you could use. [she has other words.]

Hiro gives plenty. You just need to know how to listen. [she frowns at the noise of the charm being placed and uncovers her eyes. those. sure are eyes?] ... What do you mean, "from the start?"
commences: (pic♯14928501)

[personal profile] commences 2021-08-29 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
He is, the way his mind works, it's testing all of us... it's just those get more offended than others.

( don't be mean stephanie. )

Is it to listen, or to understand? Those are two different things. ( he slides the charm closer to her. ) If I understood correctly, it was what Seki-kun wanted.
closewithnewintown: (time I know we're out of time)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-29 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
I understand him perfectly. [she says, having grossly misunderstood him several times and he's just too nervous to correct her.]

... People here are so weird. Why would you want to get stabbed? Couldn't you just do it yourself if you want it so bad? [beat] I mean, yeah, Hiro really wanted to do it, but how did they even get to that point?
commences: (pic♯15047735)

[personal profile] commences 2021-08-29 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Stephanie, I believe that Arisu-kun really doesn't know why... but Seki-kun asked him, and Arisu-kun did it because he trusted the method to his madness.

( it does sound a little farfetched, but you can't just stab yourself for everything to work out in your favor.

...

well, if you're not komaeda, it doesn't work that way. )


...It was part of their plan to save the school.
closewithnewintown: (I ponder whether I think)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-29 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[... okay, cool, she just has to stalk Hiro twice as hard once he gets back. for his own good. keep him out of trouble.]

How does stabbing someone save the school?
commences: (pic♯14928538)

[personal profile] commences 2021-08-29 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
I feel like I've said enough on the subject, now how was your day?

( ... yeah, he sire did do that. )

Are you going to join the club now...

( is that bad of komaeda to do? should he even have said anything? he doesn't know... but he watches her wondering what she'll do next. )
closewithnewintown: (remnants of mountains I’ve hiked)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-29 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[just. rolls her eyes.]

I was already gonna join your weird club to make sure nobody gets murdered by it. How does stabbing someone save the school?

...Arisu-kun seemed uncomfortable with the conversation, it's something that he regrets.

( komaeda closes his eyes, his hands settle onto the table, and he taps his fingers slowly. )

I exchanged my regret with him as well... but even with all I could, he doesn't know... Seki-kun is a mystery, but perhaps... he needed an out, and needed the school to focus on one person that wasn't himself...

( his lips purse into a straight line, his smile gone. )

Perhaps... Arisu-kun shoulders his burdens until he returns... the picture will never fully come together while we lack pieces.
closewithnewintown: (of just one pair)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-29 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
... If the school stopped being focused on him, who did it focus on? [can you just stop being the main character? is that a thing you can do?]
commences: (pic♯14928614)

[personal profile] commences 2021-08-29 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
I can't say I'm right, but they targeted, and hated Arisu-kun, have you seen how those NPCs look at him when he walks by... a murderer.

( they look at komaeda like that too, and maybe he shouldn't call them npcs, but they sure aren't side characters. )

Whether their eyes are open or not, we don't know... I guess we'll have to figure out why Seki-kun decided to be a martyr for the school, and why Arisu-kun regrets it... I guess because nothing came from it.

( hmmmm... )
closewithnewintown: (for little miss perfect)

[personal profile] closewithnewintown 2021-08-29 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Do we even know if this Seki guy is coming back? It's been a really long time...

[idk maybe stabbings take a while to recover from she is not a doctor]
