( stop, he didn't betray?

but, he is quiet. too on cue, and he keeps to himself for the moment as he processes the mark on their body, and thinks of the one tally on their wrist. )

...Okay, okay.

( he'll turn around himself, back to back, looking up at the ceiling. he sighs, and he thinks of something as he turns back around properly, slowly undoing the button of his jeans, removing the zipper because who lays in bed with jeans on? i just can't stand the thought, that's like wearing socks in bed. anyway, he'll push his pants down, and along his thighs are a long scar that goes straight across, healed, but still a darker color than his pale skin. it's just a little under the cut off of his boxers, but he'll walk over to the dresser after to look for a pair of sleep pants. the comfortable ones. )

Hmmm... are you done now?

[ same, the moment I get home it's shower then immediately into a tshirt and soft pj pants so i can pass out in bed at any time ]

One more... Done!

[ Spins around and strikes a kigu pose ]

How do I look?

( MEEEEEE i feel it so bad, i just have to be comfortable in bed, not struggling to move — when komaeda finds his soft pj pants, they're folded in his arms as he turns towards npckun to take a look at their attire. his eyes widen for a moment, and then he smiles. )

It actually fits you perfectly than some others who try and appear cute, ahaha... There's students who try too hard...

( he should be nice, but he's not going to be nice. in the end, they're adorable, and the way the little tail sways? adorable, adorable...

he's already leaning forward so he can attempt to stick one leg into the pj pants, not caring too much about his own visible scars on his legs. )

Is it comfortable?

[ ... ]

...Yeah.

[ They lift theirs eyes up from the scar on Komaeda's thigh and hurries towards him so he can be shooed up the ladder, since he can't escape if he goes up first. ]

I'll let you try it on later.

[ As if it's their to lend out, but, you know. Anyways I spent the last 15 minutes trying to find the scene in Ultimate Despair Girls so I can visualize this and I'm

ig I'll watch the lp properly after yttd ]

Now, now... you don't have to be so impatient...

( he pulls up his pants properly around his waist, and goes towards the ladder so that he can climb up first, and settle on the bed. he leans over, his mechanical hand reaching out to grab the other's hand if they are so willing to extend it, and komaeda will help pull them up onto the bed. )

We can find another one... one that represents a dog would be nice, what do you think? There's always matching.

( he won't let their hand go, and instead hold onto it like they're linked together this way. instead, he crosses his legs, the other hand settles onto his lap, and for a brief moment he stares at the chest of the kigu, and then up to npckun's face. sighs, udg... i can't even recommend it in good faith, but the lesbians and komaeda will get you through... that's the only way i made it. )

First thing's first, make panda sounds...

[ I'll skip through all the puzzles and only watch the cutscenes... that's how I survived persona 5

They take his hand and again lets him do most of the work pulling them up, though they do climb the ladder properly and goes to readjust their grip so they can flop down next to Komaeda but still be holding hands. ]

I don't know what sounds pandas make... And a dog doesn't fit you. Maybe a whale.

( yama has the jpn version somewhere, i remember having this one on hand, i'm crying. megumi ogata where is your beautiful voice hiding... and that's so smart, maybe that's how i get thru p5...

they can hold hands as a treat... he'll take it back soon because it's not like komaeda actually sleeps with that one, he'll have to remove it sooner or later. )

...? Huh?

( what do they mean WHALE? HELLO? )

Chidouin-san can be a whale. ( ... ) I want to be a dog.

[ asdflkjh i suffered through the english dub too but I'll try hard to find the jpn version. sighs at p5... the very last week of pharmacy school finals I sat in the study hall and binge watched p5 at 2x speed, that's how I got through it.

ALSO WHY DOES HE TAKE HIS HAND OFF WHEN HE SLEEPS WHY WOULD HE DO THAT STOP IT NPCKUN HAS MORE HAND TRAUAMA THAN THEY DO CLAMOR TRAUMA ]

You don't like whales?

[ ignores his dog preference ]

( crying it's ok my hubris is listening to english komaeda and actually liking him bc he sounds like a freak looks away... NOT AT 2x SPEED PLEASE that's what i did for fgo actually, i'm crying. god i never sped read so fast in my life.

STOP WHY WOULD HE WEAR IT? WHY. HE HAS TO TAKE IT OFF AND THEN HE BOTHERS ADD IN THE MORNING TO HELP HIM PUT IT ON??? STOP SAYING HAND TRUAMA IS WORSE THAN CLAMOR, THEY WENT THROUGH HELL AND BACK EXCUSE ME. )

They're okay, but I didn't have a pet whale... do you like whales?

( ... ? what is this hate on dogs!? )

They're pretty noisy when they come on the discovery channel, but I see no resemblance between me and them.

[ asfdlkjh he does sound like a freak i can't stand it, also I would be too lazy to detach my hand every night if I had the choice, I'd be asleep, it doesn't matter, just leave it on, what if I wake up at 4am and want to check my email for tags and I don't have a hand ]

I've never had a pet. But I do like whales. They're one of the smartest animals, and I think they're cool. ...They are noisy, though.

[ Plenty of resemblance ]

( stop his freak nature was kind of... valid in his despair phase, i know he's a freak still, but listen... just let him do his best. i'm sure there are some nights that he forget, but he probably doesn't want sleep with it, or he'll probably try to choke himself with it so he can guarantee it with his mechanical hand... listen!! he can't check the forums like he used to... )

...They're too noticeable, they come up for air... and people marvel at them, they also make up half of the oxygen in the world, helping you breathe... being the reason why someone lives, I couldn't compare.

( ...don't say it. )

And they're very, very, very noisy... I'd rather avoid that.

( ... )

[ ... ]

Dogs are noisy. They're noticeable, and people love them, and sometimes, they're the reason someone lives.

( ... )

Are you saying whales are the dogs of the ocean?

( ... listen, just... LISTEN! )

I can agree, they do follow in each other's steps quite similarly... I wouldn't make a good whale, though. A cat would be more plausible.

( :3c )

Cats are noisy. They're noticeable, and people love them, and sometimes, they're the reason someone lives.

[ THEY'RE ALL THE SAME ]

( komaeda rather be dead. )

I want to live life like a worm.

[ ... okay so that's the opposite of everything, but also much more manageable. ]

Gotcha! I can make that happen!

[ They're going to stand up— bump their head against the ceiling- kneel instead and pull the blanket out flat. ]

Lie down, with your arms at your side.

[ They're going to blanket burrito him. ]

( stop he heard that thump... not the knowledge of an arata damaged, and he's going to lift his hand to pat their head. also, push them down so they're no long standing-kneeling, and that way they won't hurt themselves anymore. )

You can't help me be a worm, I'm already a disgusting insect to those here... you can call it a talent of mine.

( before he lays down, he's lifting his other hand to pick at his mechanical arm.

...
...
...

t-minus 5 mins until he removes it, stop him if they can. )

[ Can't remove your arm if your arm's pinned at your side, also if npckun physically holds his arms down so he'll stop moving and make the burrito too loose. ]

Worms are useful, you know? They break down dead stuff and make the soil more fertile. Gardeners cherish them a lot.

( why are they ATTACKING HIM? god, he's not going to fight back, but he does stare like he's confused about what's going on. )

They feed the soil for others to walk on, without them... there'd be no reason for stepping stones, but that doesn't mean they're cherished. ( ...they're to be used because there's nothing else. ) You don't have to thank me.

( he likes his position of working to give people a path towards their hope, even though he does everything behind the scenes where they can't see him. npckun can talk about gardeners, but that's also komaeda's job... tending to the dead branches that weigh down on their stems, clipping them away when he thinks their foundation is about to break.

he has many jobs. )

I don't mind because in the end, your hope grows... ah, lay down, why are you move so much?

[ because he's not being a GOOD WORM ]

You said you wanted to be a worm, so I'm— [ trying really hard to roll Komaeda over because it's easier to burrito somebody like that, but they didn't account for the fact that bunk beds are actually pretty narrow and even if they get Komaeda rolled over he's just going to bump into the wall.

... ]

-—helping!

[ Looksm ore like a taco than a burrito in the end, actually ]

Close enough.

( HE IS BEING A GOOD ENOUGH WORM!!! )

W-Wait, if you...! Ahaha...

( stop rolling him, it's a little dumb, but he's enjoying himself by seeing the other struggle. it's when they manage to roll him into the side of the wall, swaddloon'd within the blanket... he looks towards npckun like a worm. he even wiggles a bit to show off their hard work, but moments after he'll stop. )

Aren't red pandas meant to be herbivores?

( they do eat the occasional insects, but he's not going to mention that. they can mention it if they already know. )

[ ...no, they don't know enough about red pandas to be able to support or refute that, but it doesn't matter because Komaeda laughing makes them laugh, the fact that he's playing along. ]

It's fine, because I'm not going to eat you!

[ They're going to flop on him instead, draped over his stomach so their legs are hanging over the side of the bed with the lack of space ]

( heavy... maybe they are the whale instead.

...

...

he huffs, looking up at the ceiling where the yogen rules are taped — don't do anything to his ultimates, always say what da cat doing when they're doing something mundane. )

You wouldn't be able to... knowing I'd hurt your stomach, and who would take care if you were sick?

( ... )

Sigh... then you couldn't sell your wares. ...Did we forget something?

[ maybe they're the whale... They don't move, grinning and letting themselves kick their feet a little behind them. ]

If I feel sick, I'll just throw up and then I'll feel better. [ ? this is how you deal with food poisoning ] And if I don't, you'll have to take care of me!

[ Since it's his fault and all, and Komaeda tends to indulge even their most childish requests ]

( it's kind of warm in the blanket, he can deal though, and he'll close his eyes as he breathes in and out, slowly... )

If I take care of you, you'll have a bedtime... around 8PM.

( you know, can't be eating after nine, and that way they can get tucked into bed early. ) But... I can't stop you from staying up late if I fall asleep early, now can I?

( that's true, especially on his good days. now on his insane days... he can elevate their childish requests to war crimes. )
