non-murder December mini-event

The telephone in the principal's office is ringing.
OOC
- ✽ The temperature inside the principal's office is still sub-zero, so please take note before sending easily frozen characters inside. I'll have to delete the non- part of the post title, then.
✽ The post may be used to ICly discuss whether to answer the phone in the first place, and if so, who to send. Mod responses will happen if/when the phone is answered.

( he scoffs. )
How irresponsible! Is that what they teach you at your... ( squints at his clothes. ) — your fast food chain?

Goes back to eating pizza. ]
no subject
He's also internally wincing at that entire thing over there but also he saw Sara punch, pistolwhip and point a gun at a dude once and said nothing so.]
no subject
[ Herlock will just stride over towards the spectacle unfurling before them all, placing himself between Komaeda and Riku. ]
It was my mighty throw that did displace the poor fellow! He has no need to be sorry. If anything, my apologies that I threw with such force to begin with!
[ He nods apologetically before smiling again. ]
So, now that this is all settled- why not partake in a slice of cold pizza?
no subject
He stares at a message left in ROT13 on his PDA for several seconds, though - "you did great."
Several seconds, and he's huffing out another cloudy breath, and then the card's back out and he's back in the hallway. He's able to catch a few words, see a nightmare of a sight.
And do you know what he's going to do?
He's going to take one look at this stupidity and start walking away. ]
no subject
... )
Hold your thoughts, fast food-kun and Sholmes-san.
( he's going to get up, taking his pda to slip into his pocket as he turns around, dusting himself off as he talks behind ranger. )
Where are you going? ( thoughtful, ) I thought you wouldn't leave me.
no subject
Well, you guys just seemed like you were having such a great time, I'd hate to interrupt, ahaha! I don't even wanna know what the Hell's going on here.
[ Which is all very true. As an AI, he does want to know everything, but as an emotional creature who has had a very long month, he wants to get away from all these people.
But he turns back around. If it were just Komaeda, he might have just dragged him off, but... He glances to Shin and Sara before looking back to Komaeda and shrugging.
Fine. ]
I got what you asked for.
no subject
( he toys with the idea, looking back to check on both riku and herlock, yeah, they're fine. )
I'll tell you about it later, anyway... ( follows ranger's gaze to the pizza duo, and then places his eyes back on him. )
None of us could have done it without you. ( he nods, and he'll stand in place until ranger moves first. ) Are they willing to meet with us?
no subject
Meeting in person... if their plan was to simply walk everyone out then they planned poorly, but it may be worth an attempt on the day of. [but assuming they're still passing out on the border by then,] I may have a method to get Ball Monokuma outdoors. Machine of its size should have no difficulty capturing one of them and carrying them back.
[or y'know the other way around but Add is still on the kidnapping plan]
no subject
— actions that precede unfortunate events is how this feels. )
Add-kun! ( he's going to drop his hand down in front if add's before he can touch ranger, and then he'll lace their fingers together; smiling widely. )
I didn't know you wanted to hold my hand! ( kirakira, but he glances at ranger before looking back to his roommate. )
...As for the reconnaissance, how would we go about getting Ball Monokuma outside... ( they have him at their disposal, fully trained due to add's work on it as well. ) We should get an idea of how dangerous our idiots were, on what level would you place them, Riokun?
no subject
Bastards are in way over their heads. Based on how uncoordinated they are, I'd guess that they all have their own personal motivations, but they're stuck together 'cause of a point of common interest. They couldn't designate a speaker or stick with a topic, and none of 'em are very good at intimidation or negotiations.
[ Speaking of things that distinguish him from a human, apparently he's the only one smart enough to notice all the open doors. He had enough sense to shut the door to the principal's office behind him. There's more doors open though, so as he speaks he'll work on shutting those. At the mention of intimidation and negotiations he does pay Sara and Shin a glance at that that suggests that he thinks either one of them would've done better at any of the above. He's looking to them here and there, though his gaze otherwise only moves to Komaeda. ]
I bet one of em's over there screaming at the rest about what idiots they are... [ So, you know, what's happening here. ] Well, that works better for me though, since they probably spit out more than they should have.
[ He gives it a beat for that to process, making sure every single last door is shut before he starts to wander back over to Komaeda, checking to see if he's freezing or not. It's possible that they're just good at faking being dumbasses, but he's about ready to rule that out. ]
I promised 'em we'd meet up soon since we're getting along so well, ahahaha! Ah, I bet they're gonna cry if I don't show up now~ 𝅘𝅥𝅮
[ There's a hint of amusement at the end of that, which should tell the those here who know him exactly how that conversation ended. ]
no subject
anyone who's paying attention will probably notice a glimpse of blond hair peeking in through the window for a brief second after the yeeting has been done and the window has been slammed shut, because well, liam disappears for a bit to make his way through the building from the outside. it's loud enough that he can follow the sound of conversation right to his final destination, and it's also probably helpful to know that he's on the right track, considering that when he steps into the corridor leading right to the faculty office the door slams shut.
loudly.
... it's not entirely what william expected, but he hasn't seen anyone leave through the door, so--
opening the door. and because it's freezing, he's absolutely closing the door behind him, even if he isn't slamming it shut like ranger did a couple of seconds before.
anyway, once he's greeted by Chaos, it's probably entirely to william's benefit that he just kind of... blinks - completely unfazed by the motley crew currently gathered in the office at (checks the clock) whatever ungodly hour it is in the morning. 7am??? ]
I saw someone being thrown through the window-- [ single eye that's not under the eyepatch just. scanning the room until it falls on herlock and riku, who. apparently looks okay? no injuries? ok fine - before his gaze flicks back towards ranger and komaeda who are not quite part of the pizza crew right now? ]
... Sounds like an alliance of convenience. Or at least, amateurish. Probably fairly easy to get them to turn on each other, if by the way you were describing them, they already seemed to be at each other's throats--
[ ... oh. oops. ]
Sorry, overheard your conversation from the corridor.
[ :) not actually sorry. ]

With a bit of a return questioning glance at Ranger. Right now he's just listening and getting all the information he can.]

( as ranger makes his way to shut the doors, komaeda stands in place thinking over what his partner has said, humming in thought — there's idiots on the other side of the phone, him and add heard enough of them to come to that conclusion as well possibly. from the information he's gauged from the walkie-talkie, he'll have to discern the rest from ranger. with that thought in mind, he releases add's hand once ranger's gone to do his adult duties.
closing his eyes, he grabs his jacket, pulling it around him like this to stave off the cold, and ranger can probably decide from that action that komaeda is cold, but not trying to kick up a fuss, between that and his head hurting from being attacked by a twin with abs, he's not doing so good — weak disposition and all. his eyes glance towards the ground, contemplating what to do considering how lively this has became, and he takes a small step to the side as he places his back against the wall, on the side of the principal's office. )
You had quite an eventful conversation... You'll have to tell me all about it when you get time, Riokun.
( no doubt add will probably want to know, and everyone else who is interested, but he has a feeling the other has already decided to meet with them give their "excitement" to meet their mystery person on the other side of the phone. he blinks slow, looking up at ranger, and he manages a small smile as he bends his knees to slide down against the wall, and then sit on the cool floor as he glances up. )
Ahaha... don't let me hold you, you should reward yourself! They have pizza, why not get a slide before they eat it all. You too, Add-kun! Someone didn't almost die for you two to sta—
( granted they don't have to eat, but does komaeda care? no. BUT someone's talking to them who came in normally like a normal person which is very rare around these parts. )
Are you the cab driver that brought the fast food worker? Horrible service... but easily forgiven!
no subject
Ah yes, I was the one doing said throwing- all is well though, dear fellow! Not to worry.
no subject
I'm afraid you have the wrong person, but I'll pass your feedback on the service if I see them. They probably ran away because of the commotion, it woke me up.
[ all too seriously. is he joking? or not? who knows.
anyway! attention flickering over to herlock instead because... yeah. seems familiar. but also? not quite right? hmmmmmmmmm. ]
... I assume there was a good reason for the throwing?
no subject
[ Sometimes you just gotta chuck a guy through a window- it's fine. ]
no subject
There's too many people, and it's too noisy. He is going to swipe a couple slices of pizza and slink over by Komaeda though, offering one to him, giving him a look that suggests he's trying to check in with him.
He doesn't like this. But he likes three people here, and Komaeda trusts Add enough to bring him into the fold, so he's willing to hang in there a little while longer. ]
no subject
( you know, kindness comes in different shapes and forms, he thinks that'll be fine, but that's good, knowing that he'll hold the conversation as everyone tries to gather their bearings, he glances up at the ceiling to make sure there's no crawlspace shaking... might be one or two, but it's not near him...
take your picks, folks.
there's a lot going on, and the moment he's ready to close his eyes to get himself together, he can hear ranger sitting back next to him again. turning his head, he cants his head to the side as if he's trying to figure out the gesture. he normally wouldn't eat something, but if a twig like shin can eat at this time, and if ranger can go out his way to get him something...
...
...
opens mouth. )
no subject
[ At Komaeda's suggestion, Herlock stands and scrutinizes the man before him yet again. Not with any ill intent, but curious, as if he can't quite place him. ]
I don't believe I've seen you around here- have you recently arrived to this place yourself, Mr...?
[ Then again, he hasn't been "awake" himself for long, so he still isn't familiar with every transfer student around. ]
no subject
For now Ranger blinks several times as Komaeda opens his mouth, clearly puzzled, before he finally seems to get the idea. He scoots a little closer and, sure, he'll feed him. He shifts his grip on the slice before holding it out so Komaeda can take a bite - it's a little awkward and not quite perfect, but he's doing his best, and he'll have it down pat after the first or second attempt.
... He does feel a little less stressed for it, actually, if only because it's distracting. ]
no subject
but anyway, the important matter has been dealt with and it is getting noisy around here... he looks down at his hand after Komaeda deigns to release it, flexing his fingers a few times before shoving it into his pockets. he's staying in case something else of interest comes up, but that's about it. these new guys don't seem to be related to the phone call.
... might be staring at Ranger feeding pizza to Komaeda tho, honestly hard to tell if he's judging them or just jealous it's not him being fed pizza by a robot]
no subject
The flavor isn't bad.
( he has an interesting palate anyway, but he looks at ranger to show he's grateful with a little nod —
...
and then he locks eyes with add, smiles, all because he's going to think that add isn't jealous about this. then he realizes... ok crew, huddle up! )
Hm...! Here, here. ( he'll take the pizza out from ranger's hand, holding it out towards add because he can share what komaeda had. )
Now we have to have our secret meeting, hm... what all do they want?
( TAKE THE PIZZA ADD! :/
the meeting isn't so secret, but it's getting down to business. )
