one reconnection ➱ text post
Who: Himeko Inaba and YOU.
What: It's a reintroduction--this is primarily a text post, but can be moved to action, of course.
When: 9/21
Where: Your PDAs.
Warnings: None for now, but potential mentions of death later.
vs nalobql pna ernq guvf cyrnfr ercyl hfvat gur jbeq nccyr
My hand slipped, sorry. I'm super unused to these PDAs. Newfangled tech, am I right? I hope I didn't bother too many people. How's everyone doing tonight?
[OOC: As a note - the supposed 'gibberish' is actually a ROT13 cipher if anybody wants to ICly solve it.]

Inaba listens carefully as she follows Nene to the dorm rooms, listening to the words and mentally jotting them down--she'll have to start taking notes again. Which isn't a surprise.
She keeps to typing her words on her PDA, however.]
Tokens from the student store? Does that mean that the student store is open now?
[She might have to check it out later and see...]
Did he ever say why? ['Why he did it', she means.] But why would someone cheat their way to graduation... actually, do you guys know what the requirements for graduating are?
[Although she does frown at the whole 'spirit influence' thing--that's not something she's very fond of. Or bodysnatching, really.]
I can't say that I'm entirely fine.
[Actually being honest about that for once, huh.]
But I suppose I could say 'it could be worse'. Maybe that 'worse' part will come up later.
no subject
( yeah there's been a lot of hinky shit going on and nothing is fine but it's fine! it's fine. they're. learning things. and stuff. )
Komaeda-san? Ah... that was to motivate us to work together, and to rely on Shuichi-kun, basically. ... No one is happy with him. As for Mr. Impostor... not that I'm aware of. But grades were a part of it, and Clamor was... the one who had the spell book. ...
The requirements... we don't know everything, but grades do seem to be part of it. But... all of this, it can't just be for grades. There has to be more.
( and there is, but like. her npc contact thread is just barely after this so! exciting!!! )
no subject
Shampoo, too. I'll check my merit points and figure out what the pricing is for budgeting; if I have to, I'll figure something out.
I think there has to be more to it than grades, too. After all, it wouldn't make sense that only one person graduated before otherwise.
[She looks at Nene curiously however at the mention of a spellbook while she goes to quickly check some stuff before going back to typing--]
What kind of spellbook?
no subject
( they were father and son, after all. even if he could come back...
nene pauses for a moment, about halfway through the courtyard. )
Inaba-san? I... I really missed you. And I'm glad that you're okay again. Even with everything here- I'm glad you're alive.
no subject
[She won't pry too much on that front, and she isn't going to force someone to show her a thing; just knowledge of its existence and what it is... that's enough for her.
Inaba herself stops, partway and the hand that's been wrapped around her pendant drops to her side. It's with the next words that she actually speaks up again, even with her struggling voice.]
Hearing that makes me happy. Even if I can't prove that I'm the real 'Inaba Himeko' or not...
no subject
( just like don't knife her after saying that if you are fake please? she's been cut up so much this summer- )
no subject
In her case, there's an uncertainty there, a question that now hangs over her head.
But she shakes it off.
If she starts having an existential crisis now, she won't be able to take it. She goes back to typing. Best not to overexert herself, even for an emotional moment.]
I am.
And we're not alone, I know. In any case, I'll do my best to help as much as I can on my end.
no subject
( nene smiles softly, before almost glancing away- their last conversation... it was the final time she'd seen inaba before she vanished.
was killed.
if nene had persuaded her, had been reliable enough, would things have changed? would inaba never have gone through it? )
So... you have to let us help you, too. Okay?
no subject
[There's a lengthy pause; no sounds of her typing away on the PDA, nothing. She hangs her head in silence - uncertain of what words to say.
She doesn't like showing weakness, even now.
She remembers that last conversation she had, and how hurt she felt during it.
And now -
...]
I can't promise anything. As much as I'm aware that we need to work together, I also know there are problems that can't really be solved by others.
[Her voice grows more confident, even with the slight struggle in them. There's a glint in Inaba's eyes - of faith and trust in spite of her hesitation.
The grip of her hand wrapped around her pendant tightens, a reminder to herself.]
But... I will ask for help when I can. That's all I can truly say.
no subject
That's all I can ask for. And I promise, I'll be more dependable. We'll watch your back. Now... let's get you some tea with honey. You really need it.
no subject
[She coughs a little after laughing out of habit, her shoulders relaxing a bit and her grip loosening as she lowers her hand down to her side.]
I appreciate it. It'll be nice to at least relax for a bit, even in a place as awful as this.
no subject
( anyways, inaba must be tired and sore- and they need to get that cup of tea. so nene resumes leading the way. )
In the dorm, there's these portraits of, uh. Mutilated faces. We try to keep them covered, but I wanted to warn you. ... What's a food you like? I'll make some.
( as a welcome back from the dead meal, i guess. )
no subject
[Sarcasm drips from her voice, rolling her eyes. She wishes that if she were stuck in a school she could at least learn something pertinent!!]
...has anyone tried taking down the portraits? [Mild curiosity.] Ah, I'm not really picky... I never really had a favorite food - I just liked things that were cheap since I didn't have to spend too much money, but... do we have ingredients for curry?
[She smiles, something fond, nostalgic, but also a little sad.]
That's Taichi's favorite.
no subject
( guess who's on the verge of losing her mind? ... a lot of people actually, everything is awful. )
We have, but it doesn't work. So... covers. And yeah, we do. I'll have to get started right away!
( still, something to do- productivity, providing comfort in a way- it definitely is a mood booster! especially because it comes with ✨ inaba lore ✨ ! )
Is that a friend of yours...?
( or... OR.... )
no subject
[She does agree, at the very least.]
Ah, well... Taichi's my boyfriend.
