I think...

[ peeks around Komaeda's side at the empty classroom— empty aside from the teacher with their head down on their arms folded over the teacher's desk, because sometimes your entire class is absent with some sort of contagious migraine so you take the opportunity to nap and get paid for it. ]

...when life is bad and gets worse, you should take what good you can, when you can.

[ It's called quitting while you're ahead, don't wait for the jackpot. ]

The good luck... I could never say what I think it is, because it'll only last for a moment.

( it's then his arm squeezes a little tighter on npc-kun's arm, alluding to something... wonder what that is.

his voice remains low though, staring at the teacher as he keeps the shopkeeper hidden behind the wall so they can't be seen. )

I'm enjoying everything I have. Hm... Let me talk to them, and see what they say.

Good luck's not supposed to last more than a moment anyways.

[ ?

Anyways, they're reluctant to let go of Komaeda's arm after that little squeeze, but if it's talking to a teacher...

Okay.

They slip their arm out. ]

Good luck. Do your best.

...Is it? Hm, I wonder.

( just a moment then why isn't npc-kun gone? it can linger for awhile, but he's sure the other will leave him sooner or later.

...

...

...

as soon as his arm is let go, he'll walk into the classroom with a small smile, and an apology that he couldn't make it to class today... he wants a rubric for what they're studying and learning... and will do better next class. )

[ The teacher looks at Komaeda funny and gently reminds him that his homeroom is upstairs. If he needs a rubric, though, he'd better visit the faculty office to pick up handouts from all the various classes he might've missed, instead of tracking teachers down one by one. ]

( what bad luck is this!! the way they won't own him as a student which is fine, he laughs like he didn't realize he came to the wrong classroom, but he'll leave out from the room... )

We have to go to the Faculty Office... and say how we're helping the third years with migraines...

( maybe he should go in there and lie on shin, actually. )

[ npckun hmms a little at the thought of going to the faculty office, but it'll be okay, maybe, if they're with somebody else. Shin being familiar will make them feel better too, but why am I imagining Shin lying on the ground in the middle of the faculty office ]

( that one shin icon with him on the floor, yeah, it checks out actually. between his shrimp posture and floor posture, we just can't win, but it'll help them in the long run as they can walk to the faculty office together. komaeda-arata i lowkey forgot because i was at work doing tags, but... )

If I could dress up as Tsukimi-kun... it'd be hilarious, but we'll have to use him as word of mouth...

( looks at npckun... wait... )

[ holds up both hands ]

I'm not that good of an actor. I don't know how to be that pathetic. It'll have to be you.

...Has he bought a token to wash his clothes from you yet?

( if he has, they can just steal them... and komaeda-arata can... dress up. )

[ What was decided on discord, I think it was a yes? If it was a yes, npckun nods yes; if it was a no then they shake their head. ]

[Yes to temporarily stealing his clothes and impersonation, no to the Death Hallucinations... we can assume he's gotten stuck in a wall or something even though the mental image of them coming in and pretending to be him above his unconscious form on the floor is making me laugh immensely.]

Edited (realised the date was not what I thought it was ) 2021-09-22 11:07 (UTC)

( AKZHAKZJS SHIN??? crack, he doesn't need komaeda and add to make him insane... he's doing well alone, anyway we had some side plot for shin dwbi....dwbi, but it's fine because now komaeda will grab npckun's hand and take them to the dorms because if they're going to do this mission...

they're going to do it right.

trot trot trot. )

[ I got blindsided by Death Hallucinations but this works, it's okay

trot trot trot over to the dorms, feels weird being outside, but at least it's a straight path to the dorms and it probably isn't too busy inside even though npckun peers down the hallway looking left and right to see if they can spot anybody they know. ]

( don't listen to shin, you know he's insane... haha...

that said, insane is komaeda-arata kneeling down at the washing machines to open up a few to see what has clothes, and what doesn't... that he pulls out one by one. )

P-kun, come look, whose clothes did you want? It'd be fun, like early Halloween.

( looks over to them. )

[ Not entirely sure why they have to dress up when Komaeda is the one impersonating Shin, but they shrug because it doesn't really matter to them. Noah's hoodie is cool. That dress underneath...

...

...

...

nms this is sooooooooooo bad I'm laughing, I'm so so sorry to Nene and Noah who everybody's going to go ??? at bc npckun is going to pull the hood over their head and make zero eye contact with anybody they pass ]

ILOOH MY GD I DROPPED MY DRINK THIS DID SUMN TO ME

( okay so this is the visual that i'm being told is happening. alright, komaeda has stole all of shin's stuff, including the beanie so that he can cover his hair... it really be like that.

it's fine, it's fine... they're undercover. )

...

( he thinks about it, and there's a bit of hesitance in his voice as he attempts: )

I'm Sou Hiyori. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Yashiro.

( if only he could say nenoah, if only. )

Aha, well... We should get this done while we still have the chance.

[ DON'T EVER MAKE ME LOOK AT THAT AGAIN crying, this is terrible, sorry nene and also shin ig

npckun isn't so sure about impersonating Nene's voice, but I have lots of experience playing mute guys so it's all good, they nod and ...wait for Komaeda to go first and they'll trail out after him.

also I like that it's decided that they should be Nene, a first year, instead of Noah, a third year. ]

( STOPPP YOU MADE ME LOOK AT IT FIRT even the heights were right.

also you're right, did clamor die yet, npc-noah can be in mourning and not have anything to say. )

...Come on, you can play with me! Ebalon-kun and Yashiro-san will never know!

( alright, now they have to try and get out... so he's going to walk down the hall, and peek towards the door to see if anyone's there.

...

...

he flicks his hand forward to tell npc-kun the coast is clear. )

[ If it's playing, then...

Yeah, this will be fine, then. Nobody's going to notice their face with everything else going on, and being called Miss Yashiro makes things easier. Not being themselves? Easy. They've got lots of practice. ]

Hiyori-san, hurry up!

[ Stepping out, they wave to Komaeda and bound out before him, because getting to play when your actions have zero consequence is the best. ]

We have to get to the faculty office before the teachers leave!

( fidget, act like nothing is normal, and that things are a struggle — shin has difficulties, and komaeda will try to profit off of it as he follows about miss yashiro.

a hand clutches onto the red scarf around his neck, nails digging into the fabric to calm himself down as he turns the corner while watching the other make it towards the exit of the dormitory. despite how he acts outside, inside is a different story as he finds this enjoyable, watching the other take this in stride after a little encouragement.

...

...

he rushes out of the doors so that the breeze blows against their clothes, and he points in one direction. )

C'mon now... I'm the third year, wait up!

( let them trot trot trot back to the main school in their new clothes. hopefully no first years of second years notices them and wonder why shin and nene are out and about!!! )

[ The first and second years notice them and wonder why Shin and Nene are out and about. But that's good, because it means their disguises are working, or something.

At least npckun slows their roll for a moment to let him catch up, humming to themselves when he gets near before turning back to the school, hands at their sides and clutching tight the fabric of the dress as they return to the school and make a right instead of their usual left.

... ]

Here we are! You go first.

Alright, pray for me... Miss Yashiro.

( he's pretty excited about this. he goes first, right? he isn't bothered like he should be as his knuckles rap against the door with confidence, hoping to gain the attention of whoever will come and open the door. he makes sure to keep his gaze downcast, so that his face can be hidden, and the beanie becomes what they eye first — )

H- Hey...

( he has to act like he doesn't feel good, and so he places a hand on his stomach if someone opens the door. )

I need... some assistance? ( he doesn't even have npckun to come over, they're fine where they are... nagito tsukimi will handle this. )

[ npckun lingers at the door behind him so that it looks like "Nene" is coldly watching "Shin" slowly die in front of the faculty office. The teacher who opens the door looks more confused than worried, and then looks worried, like they're just now remembering that teachers are supposed to be worried. He asks what's wrong, and reminds him that if he's feeling unwell, the nurse's office is just down the hall; the bathroom is also just down the hall, if he needs to throw up, don't do it here. ]
