yogen | 10/02 | kiss me thru the pda (678-999-8212)

you found their eyes? well... if there's a chip, then you could.
have you decided to send them in as a gorinto? ishimaru-kun can help you with that.

( ...he's slightly uncomfortable with that, caring about him over hope... that's not how this works. )

don't do needless things.

oh um
idk how much help thatd be
he wasnt rly facin the right way
also idk how to check for a chip but im p sure thats a lil too futuristic

[... don't do needless things. komaeda really doesn't like people putting him anywhere above a baseline, huh? subaru types something out, but

he deletes it and just sends the above. he can say something another time.]

ah, that was pretty lame of me wasn't it...
since we're all dated in 1994...
i really am stupid.

do you still have that body, the student council is still an option...

its ok maddy i still try and look stuff up on here when i know i cant

[... and he's going through it right now, so... subaru won't tease him or anything... bodies of people he knows aside, maybe even komaeda is put off by someone giving him that much attention]

yyyyeaaaaah i do...
ill have gochan or ishiban help me out

take it easy ok
u can give a little

akehoshi-kun... you said you found their eyes...
did they still have their arms? if so, take it to the art room, i'll teach you how to copy a finger print.

( ... why is he saying that? is it because a murderer is associating with him? does subaru pity him? he's unsure... )

sure, trash like me will do what trash does best!

[ugghghhgg

at komaeda's attitude and having to carry a body, guess he Is gonna leave the knife in someone's care]

meet u in the art room dont take ur time getting there

you don't need me there.
i can teach you over the network, maybe someone else can learn a thing or two as well!

i need hands on instruction

[... this is when he's gonna get void ventured, thinking that maybe since things return to how they were it'd be fine,]

it's best not to be around me.
i am caught by the eye of a murderer.
you don't need me, akehoshi-kun! i believe in your hope!

tell me when you're there.

[... now, of all times...]

ur an idiot

[... he guesses he'll uh

he'll go there anyway, even if uh

the uh

it uh

okay anyway it's easier to go up sans body and he'll practice with his own hand]

im here

you may not understand now, but soon...

( how his luck works, but that's not for right now. )

you need a glue stick, aluminum foil and a lighter, they may have all of that since these can be used for an art project.
burn the glue stick, and smear it onto the foil.

[thankfully that doesn't make komaeda not an idiot to subaru!!!!

he gathers the necessary things, though it takes a moment to find the lighter; once he's done, he does as instructed and there is something weirdly calming about watching it melt, the first moment of Calm subaru has had all morning. maybe he can pretend to be fine after all.

... oh right he smears it onto the foil]

next

( if only komaeda could explain those that are weak and lack talent, have no actual hope could suffer being next to him, besides... his luck must be at an all time high, isn't it lucky he gained a fan who loves hope as much as him?

of course, subaru wouldn't think so, naive as he is, and komaeda sighs as his fingers tap the screen. )

wet the finger you want to copy.
the water here is mixed with blood so your saliva will do well.

[komaeda two of your friends are dead please.... he'll

he looks at the blood on his hands and just goes to wash his hands it's whatever he's not putting straight blood in his mouth he'd rather chance it with the blood diluted water from the sinks]

ok. do i just put it on the glue now?

( everyone is dead in his eyes. 💀)

now with the wet finger of the victim, press it against the hot glue.
i'd suggest using their thumb.

( wouldn't the glue be cold if subaru went to wash his hands... saliva time. )

[yeah........ he has to redo his burning thing and get it reheated before he pops a thumb in his mouth and tries not to think too hard about the metallic taste that his mind is claiming to be a lot more present than the slight tang the water usually is, like it's still stained on his fingers and palms and wrists creeping beneath the beds of his nails and lingering like mold in the corner of a shower--

the hot glue is definitely a "wake up" call and he's brought back to the present when he presses his shaking left thumb hard against it, heart beating fast in his throat and lungs aching for the oxygen he'd forgotten to replenish. it hurts, but it's fine; when he lifts it he peers at the mark, tilting his head and idly sucking on his thumb again (? hm) as he replies]

done

the water will make sure your finger doesn't completely stick.
with that done, get elmer's school glue, and drizzle it over the print...

why do you think i want you to do that?

( saihara's dead. the last blooming detective here, aside from komaeda, but when it comes to cases... it's not his role to solve. it's hard, though, if no one understands, put together two and two, and so he wants to check something about subaru who has been investigating heavy as of late.

komaeda leans back, looking at the pda thoughtfully.

why would he want glue placed over the glue stick glue? does subaru know? even if he doesn't, komaeda's curious of his deductions. not anyone can solve this case because of who is involved, and he'd rather shoo off those that'll have difficulties, but... a challenge to test their hope, he has to give everyone a chance, right? )

[...? he'll do it, and he'll think about it as he drizzles it over, watches the pure white pool over the print of his thumb.

...

he'll put some on his free hand too, rubbing it thin against his fingers and then letting it dry on the side. it's always fun to pick off the glue.]

to make a mold of it?

[that's the obvious thing in his mind, like what happens when you fill chocolate molds and they have all the features of it...]

or

maybe theres a different word for it but its like when you make chocolates and you pour them into the molding and they pop out looking like what you put them into, like pawprints and stuff. like that, but with glue on glue action?

when you peel off the glue, your mold will be shaped the correct way of the finger's print! it wouldn't work if it was the opposite direction!

that's komaeda knowledge 101, now you'll be able to hack into that specific person's pda! you can even do it whole they're sleeping...

...it only takes a few seconds.

( now hope they don't find that pda, because then komaeda will have choice words! )

[oh. that's cool, but he doesn't know how he feels about sucking on someone's finger while they sleep.]

oh!!! that makes sense
ty for the advice maddy! im still mad at u but the lesson was fun

( oh... he didn't have to, komaeda never said he couldn't use regular water... )

...?
mad at me because i didn't come see you? i'm sure you aren't that lonely.

[he never said he could though... he's gonna wake someone up sucking on their finger one day and he's gonna have to tell them it's komaeda's fault, which they won't believe...]

ur not dumb maddy but if u rly dont know why im mad at u then ur at least hopeless
its not bc im lonely

( he really just did this to him, actually. at least he's being prepared for the future. )

when it comes to hope, you shouldn't be mad.
hm... you should be delighted!
has the day worn down on your personality, akehoshi-kun?

[SHUT UUUUUP NOT HOW SUBARU WOULD DO THE SAME THING AS HINATA

"has the day worn down on your personality, akehoshi-kun?"

...

maybe it has. subaru stare at the glue mold of his thumb and peels the completed replica out of its case, peering at it... it really is a pretty good replica. it's too bad this is just knowledge for the future instead of the now.

maybe it has. or maybe him and komaeda...]

it's been a hell of a day
make sure you get some rest too, maddy
