(open) break yourself inside out
who: Whoever wants to show up.
what: Nine body pileup, who wants to compile info.
when: 10/7, at least
where: Dorms study hall
warnings: Attempted murder over children's games
[in the afternoon, a message shows up on the forums. is she copying Natsume? utterly, since his organization is why she's thinking about this.]

Please try to set aside an hour or so of your time this evening at around 7:30 pm to return to the study hall. I'd like to speak with as many people as possible regarding the recent incident in the school.
-H.A.
[and she won't be replying to anything posted below it.
by the time the hour rolls around, Helena's set herself up in the study hall with the rolling whiteboard she took from the school set up. the markers are a toss up between colors, but the important part is there. she's seated herself by it, and when 7:30 hits, an alarm on her PDA goes off. silencing it, she stands up.]
Thank you for coming. I realize it's another demand on people's time, but given the vast scope of the murders, there's more to be said than unsaid. With it, we had no choice but to split up and find what we could, to do our best at the least to remember and categorize what we saw. Generally speaking, I'd like if we could pool our resources to see if we might draw any parallels between what was where, and if there are any peculiarities to distinguish this or that event.
With that said - [she points behind her at the whiteboard, where Rantarou has been kind enough to write out a list] - if we could try to speak individually, we could write down anything critical shared, so we could look at it from a larger perspective. As well, if something comes up in other days, we could reconvene and add in new information.
As I am unable to do it for you, please allow my dependable transcriber to do so. And a final note before we begin - if anyone becomes overly agitated, I request that you kindly step outside until you can keep your voice to a moderate level. Sound echoes well enough without yelling added to the mix.
Let's begin.

Six! Can you do it?

Why's that? Is it all weighing down on you...

...Hmm, why should it? You have people here working together to find out the mysteries of what happened...
( which is to say, it's not much of a mystery when the idea is there, but he believes in the people here to have an understanding of what happened. )
no subject
Is there... an A?
( admittedly... nene wants to ignore what he's saying. she's tired, and hurting, and she doesn't want to celebrate and have fun in the wake of all of this. but pain doesn't matter to komaeda- not as anything more than a measurement of progress. )
... If you give someone things to carry, no matter how good or bad each thing is, it's going to be too much eventually. I can't put what I'm already carrying down, either. I can't sort through it while trying to piece together this, too. Right now it's overwhelming.
( there. a crumb of 'i'll get through this' for him. let him be satisfied with that, at least. )

( because he finds that her struggle must be too much to bear, but a simple answer may come to be obvious as he writes on the board to fill in the spots perfectly. moving away, he shows her how far she's gotten, and with a small laugh, he places down the marker because this should be pretty obvious, especially when she's only missing one letter. )
You can put some of your burden down, Yashiro-san. It's not all yours to carry.
Re: s
... Is the word... reaper? ( or maybe reaver, except that's not an actual word, or reader but this isn't wattpad thank you-
is komaeda being gentle when he says this? or admonishing? it can be so hard to tell sometimes. not that it ultimately changes her answer... )
I don't know what's mine and what's not anymore.
no subject
( just something he's thought about for awhile now, but he laughs at the little slap as he lifts one finger up like he's pointing something out. )
You can find a lot out through this game... Who stand out and who don't. The same as what belongs to you and what doesn't... this game provides that motive... hope, what are you looking for, Yashiro-san? Are you fighting for more than yourself or others, some burden is only meant for others to solve, you know?
no subject
Reapers, like grim reapers? But I don't understand what that has to do with a composer...
( ... but. in the end, she can't ignore the question. she's not smart, she's bumbled her way through every problem she's had with hanako as her sword and shield, she's not strong either. all she can do... )
... All I can do is support others. Hold onto them so they can't stray too far- because when I do, they turn up dead or vanish. I don't know which is better- finding them or not. I just... want things to be okay. Despite what this place is.
