yogen | npc contact.2

[ 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. ]

( he's shaken once the door opens, adding to the feeble look that shin has while also slouching over with bad posture — )

...ngh. I... haven't been feeling good. ( he lifts a hand over his mouth to muffle his voice, speak low as well so they don't question why his tone is off, but... if he's sick, this is normal. )

I came here... to get the rubric for class 3-E. I missed... a week.

( cough, cough... uses his scarf to cover his mouth now... for extra muffles. ) I don't want... to fail my classes... aha...

[ The teacher takes a step back because, ew, germs. "Right..." he says, returning to his desk none too quickly to find a copy of what handouts were made this week, because luckily for Komaeda, this is 3-E's homeroom teacher.

"Are you feeling ill as well, uh..." glances over his shoulder at npckun, who does not helpfully supply him with a name. "You're not in my class." ]

Blrgrgh...

( he's making some ugly unfortunate noise behind his scarf so that the teacher thinks he's about to throw up. )

...I needed ( wheeze ) assistance to get here... ( isn't it obvious? well, he'll hold the papers in his hand, looking down at them. which, komaeda will stand in the way so they can no longer look at them. )

...Obviously she's my tulpa, don't tell... ( cough wheeze ) Hanako-kun...

[ The tulpa takes a little step back, because, hm.

The teacher, at least, buys into the fake illness and quickly hands the papers over. "I'm glad you're taking your studies more seriously now, Tsukimi-kun, but you shouldn't be in school in such a state. This is why so many students amongst the third years are out sick. Why don't you go home for today?" ]

...Y-yeah, I'm going to gradu— ahhhh... graduate after all!

( so ... shin is failing is what he's being told here, might as well make this a little better. )

Miss Sara... bullies me every day, so... I came here as fast as I can... with...

( no names for npckun because it's none of their business. ) Isn't that right, Miss Yashiro...

( stage on you :) )

[ NO

uh—- ]

Yeah, that's right! Senpai's trying very hard, but he's hopeless, you know? If he doesn't do at least this much, he's going to become a NEET, and that's too sad.

[ claps Komaeda on the back, remains behind him without ever making eye contact with the teacher ]

So I took him out for some fresh air. It'll be good for him.

...A NEET? My life is falling apart right in front of me...

( yes, he's a senpai holding his papers in hand like he's ready to die, and he'll take a step back until he's standing right next to npckun.

hope there's another teacher in faculty who watches over nene's class, and actually asks about her — is she sick too? not the first years also getting sick... third years are contagious. )

I'd rather stay locked in my room... ( cough behind scarf... the fakest ass cough he can muster but it sounds real because he's sick anyway... ) I-Is there anything else... like... extra credit...

[ 1-B's homeroom teacher watches this happen and makes a mental note to bring a bag of honey lemon cough drops tomorrow just in case the students need them, third years stay away.

Extra credit, though... hm... Normally the teacher wouldn't give extra credit, but Shin is ...doing his best. Getting better, all things considered, and maybe this sudden interest in schoolwork would best be rewarded.

Extra credit is a 10 page 12 point font single spaced essay on a marine animal of his choosing. ]

( komaeda pauses, there's something about extra credit that just... is shin's life that bad he needs THAT? 10 pages 12 point font single spaced essay doesn't sound that bad either — octopus are fun, he thinks, but he'll leave that up to shin to decide. or he could get npckun to write it up, and then force shin to buy the document so he can turn it in to get an A in his class at least. )

R-Really...

( sniffle cough wheeze.

he hands over the rubric to npckun to hold since they're larping nene, and the 1-B teacher isn't so concerned about the condition of that student aside from the lemon candies. as for komaeda tsukimi? well, he's going to take a step closer, reaching for the teacher's shirt, and with a sob...

...
...
...
...

blow his nose right into their shirt because of how grateful he is. )

No one's ever done this for me before... aha... I'll do my best... ( cough wheeze sniffle ) ...Then Miss Sara will be proud... of me...

( he dabs his eyes a bit to wipe away the fake tears...

...
...
...

okay, he's ready to turn around and walk... they got what they needed... )

TEACHER'S GONNA FAIL SHIN I'M CRYING

SHIN WAS SICK HAVE PITY ON HIM

HAVE PITY!

[ hate that npckun can't say anything bc it's not like they've never done exactly what Komaeda did, but at least they were subtler about it, and I really don't know how to salvage this either so while the teacher is busy getting red in the face and yelling something about failing Shin, npckun places their hands on Komaeda's back to hurry him out of the office. ]

He'll write you a really good essay on anglerfish! No take-backs! Teachers aren't allowed to lie!

( sorry shin, you have to do anglerfish because komaeda's about to fail your ass, but it's the push forward that makes him hold onto the scarf and look down towards the other. )

As long as I have you... Miss Yashiro... there's no way Miss Sara will bully me ever again...

( alright, they gotta get outta there so komaeda will turn a corner so that they can go to the bathroom...

hm.
hm.
hm.

straight into the girl's bathroom because it's the first turn he sees. )

...How much do you know about anglerfish, I think Tsukimi-kun will pay you for it too! That was a good idea of yours.

[ Girl's bathroom is fine, since they're wearing a dress and ...RIP to anybody seeing "Shin" go inside. It gets in the way of walking, though, so they're going to take it off and just wear the hoodie and booty shorts ig ]

Anglerfish are deep sea fish that hunt using lures that protrude from their head, filled with bioluminescent bacteria! They live so deep, light can't penetrate from the surface, so the only thing that lights up the darkness is the anglerfish!

[ One of the best animals. They also want to be able to carry around a nightlight wherever they go. ]

It sounds like hope, the light that comes from their lure... leading those lost in the darkness.

( but then again, those who stumble upon their doom if they're unable to handle what they happen to confront. with a hand raised, he pats npckun's cheek softly before fixing their hoodie like so. he brushes a few pieces of black hair out of their face, tucking them behind their ear — )

Tsukimi-kun will be grateful if you'll write that up for them... oh, what about what they gave us, do those notes work for you?

( now his eyes will drop to the rubric, anything useful. )
