[adsum]

[ Looks back at Komaeda... looks over at Crona...

pulls forward out of their little row and makes to stand in front of Crona, locking his gaze with theirs. ]

This expression?

[ The way he forces people to look at him, demands that attention, and then when you want him to see you, he's looking off to the side. ]

[commences]

I'll do my best not to steal...

( he keeps going until he watches rokkun walk before them, standing in crona's way, and he watches them for a moment before looking around. are they close to the vending machines, he thinks crona's earned a snack honestly. )

Why don't you give Crona-san a smile, and stop being scary... I think that's one way to reassure them.

( he's going to walk up a head, turn a little corner... vending machine doko? )

[radnarok]

Please don't.

[ They say instead of answering. They could push him away and keep walking, but they don't. They meet his eyes for a second, flat and grey and nervous, and then look down at their shoes. ]

Yes. I don't like it, okay? I can't answer all these questions. [ Komeada help. ] I can't look other people in the eye, so don't look at me like you want to see something.

[ Shooting as many pleading glances over to Komeada as they can muster. Wh..why is he just turning the corner...leavin them alone?? Stop, don't walk awaaaaaaaay. Are they supposed to just wait here and look at this guy? KOMEAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAAAA. ]

Oh... he left. [ Despair. This has to be it. ]

[adsum]

[ There's a little smile on Rokkun's face, but it's at Crona's reaction and is more out of amusement than kindness; he does spare them, though, stepping aside to watch Komaeda walk away. ]

...That's why you're comfortable around him, huh, Crona? Nagito looks at you, but he doesn't see you.

[ The two of them are kind of opposites in that respect, but it works out for Rokuro who doesn't want to be seen in the first place. ]

It looks like he's at the vending machines. Trying to see if cat food is in stock, maybe... Did you want anything? I have plenty of points.

[commences]

( it's okay, he can hear crona calling out for him as he leaves, and then he doesn't anymore. tough hurdles like that are better off handled alone, and once crona overcomes the conversation, as soon as they turn the corner they will be rewarded to see komaeda again! simple as that.

who is kneeling down at the vending machine, his hand pressed against the glass as he points at what he actually want. he reaches behind him to pull out his hacking gun rather than his pda, and after choosing a bullet...

...
...

looks left.

...
...

looks right.

...
...

he'll click the button, shooting an electromagnetic wave at the machine that causes it to shake a little, and then it stops after. he looks at the buttons on the side, now trying to decide what he wants since it'll drop whatever freely now.

there's never any catfood in stock, which saddens him every time... who would be the idiot to eat it? a roll of his eyes and a huff, he looks for... actual food, hm. )

[radnarok]

[ And he was mad that they were scared?? The second Rokuro stops glaring, they puff up in indignation, still staring at their shoes. ]

Does he see you? [ Don't talk to them like this and then offer something! It's too confusing! Especially not about someone they think is a friend...] He makes me happy, scary guy. So it's fine.

[ Crona doesn't have expectations, which makes it pretty easy to get along with people but when you're just confusing, they don't know what to do! ]

I won't refuse anything...but I don't know what you want from me. [ They turn away from him to go towards the corner. Vending machines...well stopping by them before the courtyard picnic makes sense. ] Komeaaada! Are you hiding!? Don't hide, chasing you twice isn't very nice.

[adsum]

[ Nope, Komaeda doesn't see him at all. He doesn't even know what he wants here... not much to do with Crona in the first place, so he's content to let Crona run up ahead of him. By the time Rokkun gets there, hopefully Komaeda would have already made his purchases and they can get a move on. Maybe buy a ramune so he can smash the bottle neck after and collect the marble. ]

[commences]

( leave komaeda be... he's still deciding, but it's come down to...

...

...

he doesn't know what he wants, so when crona turns around the corner first. )

Now now... don't yell for me. ...Crona-san, the machine won't work, maybe you have to touch it.

( it works properly, and he hasn't clicked the button yet to make his purchase. instead, he's getting to his feet to stand next to rokkun once he turns the corner so they can both oversee crona's decision. anyway, whatever they choose will automatically fall down... sometimes you have to be a thief without other people knowing. )

You should pick our choices, and we'll wait right here for you to finish. ( ... looks at rokkun, whispers very, very softly: )

What do you think? ...They'll become a very hopeful individual?

[radnarok]

Well um. I won't yell if you don't run off?

[ They calm down a lot once Komeada is back in sight. Maybe Rokuro will wander off and fall into a hole now that he's out of eyeshot. That thought is kind of mean, so they feel bad but... What's his problem anyway?

I want marshmallow candy. [ Hm. Hm. They turn to the vending machine and start hitting a bunch of random buttons.

...

They have good hearing, so don't get too loud! ]

[adsum]

[ He stares at the back of Crona's head, and considers. They're kind of... you know...

...

just as quiet, not that it matters: ]

You have a talent for spotting hope, don't you, Nagito? If they managed to catch your attention, I don't doubt they have the potential.

[ PERSONAL OPINION, ON THE OTHER HAND, ]

[commences]

That's fine, just click the button... and anything spicy will do, did you know that's actually a favorite of his? Once you're finished, we can all walk together...

( he speaks up for both of them, but he doesn't get anything for himself because he's not interested. sometimes you don't want to eat, you want to starve and talk about hope.

okay, soft voice now: )

That's not what I asked, I want to know what you think.

( looks him in his eyes, if he won't be honest, what do those... scary eyes of his say? komaeda knows why he chose crona, but he doesn't need the obvious redirected back at him.

SO DON'T BE SLICK, ANSWER THE QUESTION. )

[radnarok]

[ La la la buying Rokkun paprika chips and NOT LISTENING ]

[adsum]

[ "anything spicy" like the only two times Rokkun's mentioned his food preference and it was cinnamon not paprika ]

...I think Crona will be fine. Even if they're scared of me, they speak their mind and know what they want. So they'll get there.

[ Someday. Eventually. With a lot of help and support, maybe. ]

[commences]

Ah, how kind of you to offer your help! ...you're like a teddy bear, so they'll come to see that one day.

( he'll pat rokkun on the shoulder for being a good sport even though that's not what he said at all.

hope... is so important.

now, he'll focus on crona. )

Crona-san, did you need help carrying anything?

( see... rokkun can be normal... his normal passing is showing... )

[radnarok]

[ They turn with arms full of at least three boxes of obnoxious pink candy...and a single bag of chips, which they hold out without looking. Sorry Komeada doesn't know ur preferences, Rokkun ]

I can handle it, but this one is for Rokuro. Spice is kind of hard to deal with.

[ If he's normal passing can he take the chips normally so they can all go outside and have a Normal picnic. ]

You should have some candy too, Komeada. It's good!

[adsum]

[ Okay, so what Rokkun is hearing is Crona accidentally mis-punched the spicy bag of chips and is now palming it off to him and he has no choice but to take it so he can be normal passing.

...well, fine. Paprika is still better than marshmallow. ]

Thanks.

[commences]

...

( does rokkun not like... spicy things... looks off to the side, well... well...

it's fine, he can still eat it? well, he's going to look towards crona, a blank expression, empty eyes. )

Hm... I'm not interested in sweet things, so you can have my entire share.

( too strong on his tongue, and he's never been able to... handle it, he'd probably throw up blood if he had to actually eat it. ) Are we all ready? ...Make sure to get your drinks if you need them.

( because he's going to walk off in the direction of the school's doors so they can go outside... sometimes you wait for no one. )

[radnarok]

No problem?

[ First bag of chips handed off, they rip open their own candy and nod at Komeada as he just stares at them like a dead fish. The vibe of this conversation is so fucking rancid I'm crying, why are you both bullying them....smh. ]

You need to eat! [ They're going to grab a bottle of water out of the vending machine though, good idea. ]

Rokuro has his snack, and I have mine, so you need to pick one to eat or I'm going...to not feel very hopeful, because you'll be hungry?

[adsum]

[ Paprika chips and ramune, his mouth is going to hate him later but whatever, the bag of chips gets pulled open from the top and instead of taking each chip out in between his fingers he does that thing where he pours it in his mouth.

crunch crunch crunch

he holds the bag out to Komaeda because this is his fault, somehow. ]

[commences]

( he's not bullying crona, i promise... sometimes you just want to get to the courts so you can sit down and have hope class! that's why he holds his notebook close to him, he's excited. )

...Uh.

( he's going to point at crona's bag of sweets first, ) Not interested, ( and then he points to rokkun's bag, like did that touch his mouth? ) and that's gross.

( anyway. )

Today, the means of deciding whether I eat or not will be a failure, instead, you'll choose one of the Ultimates that's attended this school, and focus on them. We'll discuss their hope, and you'll gauge it... I'll teach you how to sense hope in the way that I do, along with the individuals filled with despair. Do you both understand?

[radnarok]

Why is it gross? He's eating it really fast, its smart. [ They must resentfully admit to Rokkun's skills here. ]

[ They're sitting and stacking out the marshmellow candy onto the floor so they can make it a tower it before eating it, but they look up to nod at Komeada. It's pretty standard lesson plan, so they don't feel too worried. ]

I've still only talked to Ishimaru and Amami...I guess we can do someone new if Rokuro wants?

[ He probably has a better idea of hope since he's so good at class. ]

[adsum]

[ There's the other side of the bag, okay, like when you share cups with somebody and turn it just slightly so you're not drinking from the same place.

Rokuro pours more chip into his mouth so he does not have to answer. He is this close from walking away and ditching their hope lesson picnic. He would have left if the tag order had him before Crona. ]

Kiyotaka. It wouldn't be fair to talk about somebody Crona doesn't know.

[ He doesn't know Ishimaru very well either but it doesn't matter, he just doesn't want to hear Komaeda talk about Amami. ]

[commences]

You got the chips for him, Crona-san! He's even enjoying them, there's no need to lose him in such a good mood.

( anyway, he can look at rokkun... yeah... no... crona this man hates us, he's rokuro in that tag, you know he's tired of this bullshit i'm sick. anyway, yall could have just chosen komaeda, and hope class would have instantly ended. alright, so ishimaru... )

I am Ishimaru-kun's senpai, unfortunately scum like me attended the same school as him... ( sighs wistfully )

He's the Ultimate Public Morals Committee Member, that means... it's impossible to stop that talent from shining, because the world follows a set of rules, and he is the embodiment of them! He's also part of the Student Council here, he bested me in the position... but we all saw that coming, a person as marvelous as him would force me to eat the dirt around him.

( that said, he moves on. ) His hope is overwhelming, it's like a beacon... then he'll become the Ultimate you both will train yourselves to follow. I have his daily schedule, he abides by the same set up... never shifting outside the norm... what a hopeful talent.

( he'll rip out a sheet of paper from his notebook, and here.. voila... ishimaru's daily life and timeframes of which classes he goes to, a write up of his diet, etc etc... kinda stalkerish. )

[radnarok]

A good mood....?

[ They...they trust Komeada to not lie to them, but when they look at Rokkun. Um. We're bullying him so bad like this. Poor Rokkun this is like you wanna hang out with your friend but their little sibling makes you play with them. ]

If Ishimaru made you eat dirt you'd be eating something. Should I have gotten dirt from the vending machine?

[ They have good priorities, like worrying about why Komeada is refusing food. ]

Oh good for him. So the lesson is...follow a schedule? [ Usually Ishimaru yells in a friendly way about hard work, which Crona likes, but maybe hard work is also...doing the same thing every day? ]

[adsum]

[ Is this a good mood? If he had tag order before Crona Rokun would have crumpled up that piece of paper and tossed it over his shoulder, but instead he has to settle for doing that in his mind while he prepares himself to stop Komaeda from eating dirt.

He looks at the sheet of paper, looks at Komaeda... It really is rather creepy. ]

That can't be the lesson, if Nagito doesn't comply by the same. Kiyotaka is pretty serious about his studies, though, so it would be good if you do the same, Crona. Here— [ gives him the paper, he doesn't want this ] You can keep a copy on your person, and the other in your room or something.
