Who: Nene Yashiro, Nagito Komaeda, Rio Ranger
What: just a nice chat :) 
When: mid-january
Where: crafts room
Warnings: probably none, but will edit if needed

( if it's ever been discussed, nene's not aware of it- the tally marks and the ability to remove them, that is. but she's one of the people with only one mark on her wrist, left in view for the world to see. she understands why others hide theirs... but it's not something she ever saw a reason to do herself, and thus, from day one it's been out in the open. 

so she's probably one of the best people for an experiment... if she was aware of it. 

but that's what this afternoon is for, isn't it? 

nene glances up when the door slides open from her little corner in the crafting room, bundled up warm in a makeshift nest. she's alone today, practicing her knitting quietly- from rushing to learn through december, to making hiyori's new scarf, she's had a lot of reason to try and work on it more- the gifts she'd given out were clumsy despite being well received, and she wants to do better. admittedly, there's a bit of a weird, heavy feeling in her stomach when she sees komaeda and ranger walking in, but she smiles despite it and sets the knitting needles down to sign out, "hello". 

now, what could they want? )

[ There's benefits to it, but penalties as well, huh...? It seems as though it lines up with the way the school functions. It encourages murder by offering merit points and tallies, but those benefits come at a cost. It's a complicated relationship. If Ranger were to describe it, it almost feels like a test, or perhaps a trade - are the rewards worth the consequences? In the end, it still seems to be a small price by comparison.

It's like a little game that they play, a little experiment to see what people will choose. ]

It's strange. It doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of rhyme or reason.

[ If it's like a game, though, perhaps having a high number of tallies could be something of a shortcut? Either way, what Komaeda describes sounds fairly painful. Ranger himself must not have enough tallies to gain anything, which suggests that a decent number is needed. ]


Maye it's just to see what people will do. What happens if you incentivize racking up body counts, but then start adding in consequences to match it? When does it stop being worth it? That sorta thing... Or maybe they're just disappointed at how many have piled up? Not much of a school if everybody in it is dead.

[ It is pretty quiet now. ]
