[ 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. ]

( 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?

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. ]

[ 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. ]

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. )

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? ]

[ 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.

Hm... well, do you think Ishimaru-kun would want me to?

( here's your chance crona, just say yes, and he'll think about it.

anyway, he watches as rokkun gives up the piece of paper he was given.

...
...
...

frowns...

...
...
...

okay... )

I see... so you don't want to follow the same Ultimate, hm... there's always Amami-kun, since you gave Ishimaru-kun away to Crona-san.

I think he'd want you to eat a full meal, and drink water!

[That's not even a deceptive lie thats just how Ishimaru is. They lean over to the side to grab the paper as they nod. Wow...now they have two copies of Ishimaru's schedule. Suppose they can just give one back to Ishimaru when they see him again. ] I'm serious about studying, so I don't skip class. I just can't focus.

[ ...Or read well or do math well or...yeah. ]

Amami? Or you could do Komeada, Rokuro! He's an ultimate, but he never talks about it.

[ And they know Komeada, so Rokkun might be happier to talk about him. ]

[ Eat a full meal, drink water, wake up at the crack of dawn, go to class every day... That's true; everybody should be following Ishimaru's example. Rokkun's schedule isn't as vigorous, but he does keep one and isn't about to change it up to emulate somebody else's. Not Ishimaru's, not Amami's who tends to not go to class at all, not Komaeda's which he doesn't think even exists. ]

Hmm... How about it, Nagito? Why don't you talk about yourself? If Crona is to learn about the Ultimates, it has to be a comprehensive list, yourself included. It's what Kiyotaka would want.

Ishimaru-kun is kind to trash like me, even when he isn't here, but you both should know better than to speak for an Ultimate.

( that was the first test, and they're failing it, but komaeda crosses his arms in thought as he glances at crona's little marshmallow treats, and then rokkun's ramune and hums to himself. talking about himself is... useless, because he never really says anything, or wants people to now anything. he's just a boring high schooler like the two before him, and his mouth parts to continue his thoughts: )

There's nothing interesting to study, and I have no hope for you to follow, so why focus on me?

( which is true, he's useless talent that he can't even call a talent gives off nothing hopeful like the rest, he's just overshadowed by everyone else. ) Though, I'll humor your questions.

Oh...but its in the schedule... [ Right here it says what he eats every day... ] I brought water too...

Yeah. Rokuro is right! Because...I want to know more about Komeada! Thats my hope for today, I hope to know you better!

[ For once, they don't even take a second to think. ]

So..um...Whats your favorite color? Oh, Rokuro can says his too. Mine is green.

[ What's your favorite—-

I'm sorry but this is where Rokkun's going to stop, turn around, and walk the other way, he can't stand this. ]

I'm going to the bathroom.

( leaving?? to pee??? during HOPE CLASS???? )

...How unfortunate, I guess I am that disgusting to him.

( does he say that loud enough for the other to hear? yes, he, does because why didn't he use the bathroom when they were at the vending machine? it's fine, komaeda knows rokkun wants to throw up at the sight of him. )

...He's turned off by the fact I'm the topic...

( give him a minute to mainsplain, manipulate, and malewife this. )

I've ruined our time together, I hope this doesn't come as a disappointment to you, Crona-san.

Edited (I didn't copy THE RIGHT VERSION OUT MY NOTES) 2021-10-03 06:38 (UTC)

...

[ And Rokuro just gets up, just like that. Bathroom, means he'll be back right? Unless hes lying, which people do sometimes but Crona's not good at figuring out. They don't look disappointed but they do look, kind of sad. ]

Neither of you want to talk at all... Is colors a bad topic? I thought it was something easy. Komeada always asks about my life, so I thought knowing more about Komeada's or Rokuros would make everything fairer and nicer.

Are you a bad topic to him? Why?

[ Maybe he has to pee, okay? it'll take him a while to get to a bathroom so it's better to leave now just in case he needs to later ]

It's not you, Nagito.

[ It's this third wheel—- ]

Black and white... the representation that they serve for myself among others! A never-ending battle between the two that's apparent in many imageries, it forces those to choose one or the other, but I enjoy them as a pair.

( instantly, as if explaining that colors aren't a bad topic especially when it comes to those two. now he's not saying they're his favorite, but he's not saying they aren't. anyway, he looks at rokkun after his answer, and there's this bored expression as if he doesn't believe him.

...

...

it is him. )

...Crona-san, do you have to use the bathroom? We can all take a break for it so we're empty and refreshed for the continuity of our class. We haven't covered either of your senses, and as your elder, it'd be rude if I didn't pass on my knowledge.

( okay, maybe crona's older than him, he doesn't know, and rokkun's been through how many fucking timeloops, but the fact of the matter — komaeda's age wins. )

...If Rokuro wants me to go, he should just say it out loud?

[ They cross their arms, leaning back to stare at him. ]

I'm not smart, so you can say things in front of me. I won't get it...but fine. If you want Komeada alone really really badly...I don't have to stay here and ask dumb questions.

[ They might be young, but they're not stupid enough to not pick up on how obviously they aren't wanted here right now. This isn't subtle at all...its just really awkward and weird! ]

You're fine, Crona. [ he says, like a liar, ]

I'm just tired of being at school and didn't think this is what my break would turn out to be like.

[ Which is not technically a lie, even if it isn't his main reason for wanting to leave. But it's true that he would have little patience for this sort of class Komaeda teaches, one that asks him to not only look at another person but to look up at them, and that's just not something he does. He doesn't follow in other people's footsteps, he makes his own. However dim his hope might be, he carries it in his hands and cares little of sharing the light with others; he just needs it to grow until it burns bright and hot enough to set this school ablaze. ]

( the way rokkun is like crona's dad, and his toxic trait is showing. )

You don't have to go anywhere, Crona-san, because he doesn't need me that badly at all.

( hm. that's more than enough, komaeda can dissect his reply, but he'll do that by himself and with neither of the two near him. he glances off towards crona, motioning for the other to get up properly so that they can figure something out — if he's tired of being in the school, they can go, but SOMEOME has to go to the bathroom. )

Aren't you going to the bathroom? We can go outside once you're finished, the same goes for you, too. ( he's going to look at crona so they can go if need be, considering their small outburst... maybe they'd want time to themselves for a moment. ) I'll wait here.

( probably. )
