?????? 10/8
WHO: All of Yogen
WHAT: Something is brewin...about to begin.....
WHEN: 10/8 afternoon
WHERE: Everywhere!
WARNINGS: ┐(´ー`)┌ Will update if needed.
[sometime in the afternoon, after the student council wraps up for the day, someone takes control of the overhead system. the voice sounds some sort of way, but it starts anyway.]
Good afternoon! I’ve decided to break up the monotony and the dreadful tones we’ve had over this past week with a little game. It’s a scavenger hunt of sorts, because I have information on some of the murders that you all haven’t figured out.
But I’m not going to just give it to you, so you’ll have to participate!
I’ll give you the first clue.
“On the rare occasion that the average detective takes a break, he needs somewhere to store his things. Small, perhaps, but he may have something deadly to hide!”
Let’s see how you do!
[the audio cuts off...
but then a message pops up on the message boards.]
u can help each other out!! but u gotta do a little bit of leg work!! u wont win just by sitting around talking 2 each other on here!!
remember: friendship is magic!!! (˶◕‿◕˶✿)
oh, oh, oh!!
You have until midnight to find me.
Fail, and face erasure of the facts.

I know... I know you're right, but it's still
[He has to lean back away from the PDA for a second, breathing out hard. It's so hard, trying to stay calm when he's seething so much he's practically seeing red.
But Komaeda's words ground him. Just like they always do... even when he was at the point in his life when he didn't want them to.]
...Alright. The only thing we can do is... try to solve this, right? [The last thing he wants to do is this, but he can't afford to let any clues about Saihara slip away, even if it makes him blindingly angry.] The next clue Amami found was about the pillow... but Add said there's nothing on Saihara's bed. So we have to figure out what that means.
Do we still have our sleeping bags in the clubroom?
no subject
( he laughs softly, and he knows hinata is more... sensitive than him when it comes to this. sadly, there's no need to cause such a fuss, especially when it'll do nothing over the network. )
i'm not going to solve it hinata-kun, i am part of their fixation...
sighs, i'd only drag you down...
so i'll give you what i know!
i want you to meet with amami-kun!
shoo, shoo!
no subject
I think you could help more than you give yourself credit for... but I wouldn't force anybody to do this.
I'm already heading to Amami, though. He already messaged asking for me, so I'm on my way.
no subject
...i believe in your hope, hinata-kun. i'm sure they do as well.
no subject
[Hinata's vision blurs.
when I couldn't do anything to save him
He doesn't register what's happening until one drop hits his knuckles, another on the screen.]
I... don't want to reach any heights or anything weird like that. Saihara [is. Backspace. If anybody but Komaeda were saying this to him, it would've set Hinata off again.] was my friend, not some... chess piece, or whatever. You... cared about him, too, didn't you?
[Against his will, a dozen moments flash through Hinata's mind - in the club room, in the dorm room, little pockets of laughter and happiness. It's so painful he can hardly stand it.]
no subject
besides, he can only answer in one way. )
i was fascinated with his hope, and...
this is what happens when too many rely on the abilities of an ultimate than working themselves...
all his work... snuffed about... because of how greedy the majority was.
it hurts to see this, hinata-kun, and you question my feelings...
...how painful.
no subject
However...]
I don't question your feelings. I question whether or not you're being honest with yourself.
But... I still shouldn't have asked that. It was too far, I'm sorry.
no subject
( hinata can read komaeda better than others, and that's somewhat troubling if there's something about him that's showing which hinata can see. well, he shouldn't know, he's only spent so much time with komaeda because of how corrupt the other's timeline is, and so that's komaeda worried over nothing.
it was only for a moment, though, and he's back to the norm. )
it's fine! i understand you're going through a lot due to our losses, and so to feel the way you feel is...
...a very you thing.
no subject
[Hinata has a sense of things about Komaeda, but not as much as he will one day. He's uncannily good at picking up details about others, especially when it comes to him, but there's still plenty that will escape his sight.
For this, though... Well. That remains to be seen.]
I probably should be more offended over a "you thing" than I am, but... It's not like I don't deserve it, so. It's okay to just call me an asshole, you know. It's faster.
[He doesn't expect it - the brief smile that pulls at his face, the feeling of fondness. Didn't think smiling was a thing he could do right now, but Komaeda always seems capable of surprising him.]
