... the same as the last.

WHO: Nene Yashiro and You!
WHAT: After a year, Nene finds herself experiencing Spring Break in Yogen again. What's changed? What's the same? 
WHEN: Spring Break ( March 21st - April 3rd )
WHERE: All over!
WARNINGS: references to cannibalism

a. empty exploration 

( a year ago, nene woke up in this school and found herself trapped. and now, she remains still- a little bit older, barely taller, hair longer. still feeling clueless despite everything. she doesn't wake up in class 1-b, anymore. she lingers for a while as she passes it in her wanderings, though- she spent months there, after all. leaning on hajun, or just existing. the cardboard prison she constructed for her ice-breaker game still remains folded up behind a cabinet. hah... at least clamor enchanted it? that's funny. 

nene leaves class 1-b behind, careful to avoid the elevator and the clocktower. she remembers last year sitting in it, leaning against the glass and looking at the forest longingly. but something about the clocktower feels wrong. 

probably all the murder that happened in it. 

be it up or down the stairs, nene wanders still. once upon a time she had looked for mokke. now she knows: there are none here, and that's a good thing. but now, perhaps appropriately, she feels like a ghost wandering an unwanted haunt. seeing another person brings her out of it, and she gives a small wave. time will tell if she'll say hello, though. )


b. crafts, cooking and comfort 

( nene knows the crafts room like the back of her hand- same as the cooking room. just like last time, one can find her going over the stock of the kitchen- they have supplies in the dorm too, and she'll be going over that as well. this, combined with the vending machines, may last their greater numbers- and she can make big, hearty meals maybe... with noah bringing back biblically accurate deer, they have non-human meat for sure. even if it tastes kind of bad. so maybe you find nene half inside a cupboard counting quietly to herself with only the scritch of a pencil on paper as her only other company...

or maybe you'll find her in either the cooking room or the dorm kitchen, standing at a large pot diligently. curry and stews are filling, after all. and they have a lot of people to feed! 

alternatively, nene can be found in the crafts room, once more organizing sewing kits, fabrics and threads. sometimes she's sewing, sometimes she's practicing knitting. all the while, a
music box plays a gentle melody as she works, and she might not notice someone enter right away. when she does, though, she'll stop what she's doing and look at her guest. )

c. new sprouts

( perhaps the best thing about spring is the gardening club can be active again. so members or spectators may witness nene running around with some freshly cleaned pots and planters, or with entire tools. there's a lot to do- the winter seeds have already sprouted as the snow melts, and there's spring seeds to plant too. old potted plants have to be removed if they're beyond saving... and natsume's herb spiral probably needs tending to, too! the bad part is that nene isn't quite looking where she's going at one point, and may crash right into someone. woopsies. nene winces, giving an apologetic look before she ducks down to pick up seed packets gotten through a teacher before break. )

d. wildcard

( shoot yo' shot! nene is still mute for the most part but close cr pre-november may be able to get her to talk while relaxed. she's kinda running around all over the place, and just trying to be helpful. nene is still at 0 tallies and making no effort to hide this, so feel free to notice and stuff! )

[It would be safe to say that considering the current state of affairs, Kokichi's mind is somehow even more of a mess than usual. First of all, he was fairly certain he was supposed to be dead. That was how it was all planned out, after all. But he never felt that final impact - he never felt that pain he thought he'd face...

And then there was the odd deja vu of waking up in a new school. For a moment, he didn't even know who he was - what he was doing - but then it all clicked into place as he finished what looked like some kind of ritual Korekiyo would've organized. The entire thing reminded him of that time, and so it was safe to say...he got out of that room as fast as possible when he'd gotten his bearings, only truly looking at what he'd been left with when he was out into the hallway.

A PDA, a few essential numbers...a tally mark on his wrist. 5, carved right in there. As to what exactly anything meant, he wasn't certain. But he'd checked his locker, and inside...he hadn't looked too hard. He'd just noticed that his checkered bandanna was in there, and grabbed it immediately to tie it around his neck.

He felt uncomfortable without having his last connection to DICE taken away, after all. But this was overall...ominous. Another school. He hadn't noticed any murderous bears (yet), but he hadn't even remotely let his guard down. Once he'd gotten outside, he'd taken a look around, and then noted--

Oh. There was a girl. And she was waving at him. Short, with long hair with green tips, younger than he was. Legs roughly the size of daikon radishes. He...had no idea who this girl was.

Still, he waved in return, and strolled over, his arms folded behind his head.]


Hey there. What's up?

[Might as well pretend like he knew what was going on for now. He couldn't trust anything here, obviously, so he had to play his cards close to his chest.]
violetlies: So I managed to get the bitch who has been copying off me all semester in History to copy the names of Pokemon towns off my test. (When you're on vacation)

[personal profile] violetlies 2022-04-02 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Is she onto him? She might be. The young lady seemed shocked to see him. Play it off--but then she seems to smile. There's a certain twinge of sadness to it, and it's something he feels inherently weird about, but he won't let it show.]

Hmmm? I don't understand what you're trying to do. Is it a new dance?

[And then just as abruptly, after he feigns a confused expression for a minute to maybe let her falter, he quickly signs in return--]

It's a lie. Yes.
violetlies: just had cupcakes and mountain dew for dinner-now i'm playing super mario brothers. 10 year olds all over the world would kill to be me. (And be lucky that I found you)

[personal profile] violetlies 2022-04-02 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah. It's telling that she's asking him that. This girl's already gotten the idea that he's new. And this place does things to your head...for a moment, Kokichi considers telling a lie. The girl seems pretty harmless on the surface, and even if she had any kind of foul intent, he was pretty confident in the fact that he could just run away. But she's made her intent clear. To help him remember.]

Let me ask you something instead. What do you last remember me doing, hm?

[He turns it around. Confirmation that there's familiarity there, confirmation that somehow, he's been here before. That's the first step. As well as getting an idea as to how he should be acting.]

After all, I'd hate to assume that you were replaced somehow. This place is weird enough as is - and I remember someone a loooo~ooot more vocal.

[That's a wild guess that could either be entirely correct, or entirely wrong. Either way, it might give him basis to stand on as having been here all along, if he were here at all.

Already this was even more confusing than expected, but he hated coming forward with the truth so easily: it put him in a vulnerable position.]
violetlies: How long do I have to listen to him talk about the chickens before telling him I just really want to fuck? Note: it's already been twelve minutes. (or regret what I do)

[personal profile] violetlies 2022-04-02 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[The young lady falters for a moment. And then she explains. He was there in June - last June, whenever that was, it must have been a while from how she was talking about it, but he'd barely recovered from seemingly dying. She mentioned him going around pulling pranks on people, dumping a bucket of water on her head, and for a moment, he smirks.

Well, it sounds like something he'd do, anyway.

And then she admits to having become mute. He was right in assuming that it wasn't something that originally was the case, but his expression falters. He's quiet for a moment.]


I'm sorry to hear that.

[A beat. He mulls over the consequences of him being honest, but he can tell when people are genuine, usually. So he'd be hedging his bets on assuming that this wasn't an act that could fool even him. His paranoia is still lashing out at him, but...]

...I'm going to put the slightest bit of faith in you. Just this once. You don't seem like you're going to hurt anyone. [That, and despite himself...those younger than him usually fell under the umbrella of reminding him too much of what DICE stood for and all the kids who were a part of it. Not that he can reminisce. He's had to live in the moment for quite a while now, after all.] But I don't want you to go spreading this around, alright?

[He pauses, and then he sighs.]

What I just said - it's a lie. I don't remember any of that. Or you. Or here. I don't know you, but you seem to know me. If you could fill me in, I'd appreciate it. And-- as far as anyone else knows, I'm the same guy as back in June.

[This is a risk, but a meek-looking mute gentle girl hardly seems like a threat. As long as his talent of reading people was up to snuff.]
violetlies: My mum just told me to stop being so pathetic and just find someone to have sex with, even if I don't like them, just be grateful for the sex. Wow. (Even if you think I'm in the wrong)

[personal profile] violetlies 2022-04-02 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Secret passageways. Well, whoever knew of this very much played to his fondness for secretive architecture. Still, he follows after the girl, heading into a classroom. It's still haunting, being in an entirely new school with no explanation. But he quickly signs back...]

I suppose we're lucky I don't have to say anything out loud, then.

[The advantages of knowing sign language. Unless there were cameras to catch it, or someone could see through the passageways. But he takes heed of what she's telling him - her name is Yashiro-chan, and she considered him a friend. Not a bad place to start, then. He doesn't pay much mind to the idea that things would be hard to believe, considering all he's been through as of late. He takes a seat across from Nene.

There's a lot to take in. He takes a sharp breath in, thinking it over.]


Start with what I should know. What I've done. If the other details are relevant, explain along the way. If not, I'll probably ask.

Ah—

[ The collision is hardly the most painful thing that Alice has experienced — in fact, it does little more than nudge him in the stomach — but he stops in his tracks, arms reflexively raised to catch Nene. As it turns out, it's unnecessary, and she and the scattered seed packets seem unscathed. Both important indeed!

Crouching down himself, Alice moves to lend a hand instead. ]


Are you alright, Nene Yashiro?

[ It must have felt somewhat like running into a wall... Not quite the best way to cross paths again, after merely seeing her about from a distance here and there. He holds out a few packets to return to their owner, contrite.

Landing on her wrists, his gaze lingers there, faintly puzzled before long. ]

C! i was so tempted by the kitchen tho

[personal profile] notsosou 2022-04-02 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
[The form she collides into is very bony, and stumbles back a little, bracing himself on the nearby wall during the sway.]

Oww, careful... you were flying like a shuttlecock for a second there, ahaha...

[At least Nene's not on rollerskates! He's bending down to help her pick the packets up, handing them to her.]

Things are getting busy, huh? Need some help?

[He's happy to see her as usual, it's in his warm tone.]

violetlies: You asked my mom "who the fuck drives four hours to sleep in a guys bed and not touch his penis" (in a tent that isn't working)

[personal profile] violetlies 2022-04-02 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kokichi listens intently. 'Keep your eyes open' and not able to move past the door or windows...that was troubling. Apparently the other version of himself saved a girl, though. Which was good. A student president got murdered, and--immediately, upon hearing a name, his eyes widen.]

SHUICHI IS HERE?!

[He's...looking very intent. For a moment. But then he lets it sit after hearing everything else.]

....Shuichi's not still here, is he. [he sighs] What I'm getting from this so far is that I've at least done some good on the past, which is kind of some balance to my conscience that I needed right now, so thanks. And there's at least one murderer still loose that Saihara-chan uncovered. Unfortunately.
violetlies: I'm going to fuck my way out of the friend zone if its the last thing I do (It's easy as one two three!)

1/2

[personal profile] violetlies 2022-04-03 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Kokichi's depression hardens. Dito.]

I don't suppose anyone's done anything about Dito, either.

[Congratulations, Kokichi is now one of Nene's homies and hates Dito.]

That's...weird. I don't even know a Komaeda-chan. [Then, he nods.] Akamatsu-chan and Amami-chan were our classmates. I'd like to talk to Akamatsu-chan if at all possible.
violetlies: You three are like the Bermuda Triangle for morals. (I like when you get mad)

[personal profile] violetlies 2022-04-03 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[....That last assessment of him is actually kind of touching. Kokichi's taken aback for one moment, and it's visible. It's particularly striking because he's not used to anyone really calling him a good person. He's used to being respected here and there. Hated. Sometimes appreciated, if he were particularly lucky. But the last person to think of him as a good person was...

Gonta. And he stabbed him in the back, proving him wrong.

He falters.]


Thank you, Yashiro-chan. [That's all he can manage for a moment.] What is with all the murders? And...I can only assume this is the afterlife. I'm not supposed to be alive right now. I don't know if I've ever told you that.
violetlies: I wish they had nachos that got you drunk (Sleepin' you're on your tippy toes)

[personal profile] violetlies 2022-04-03 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Kokichi slides down his sleeve, staring disapprovingly at his tally. Here, huh. 5. He can only hope it's because he's died 5 times, and not because he's taken lives. He glances to her, and notes her lack of marks. Nene is probably stronger than the initial impression she may give off to some, he thinks. She's probably more capable.

The right to reincarnation. That makes him falter again. It's certainly something he doesn't deserve. He's almost certainly confident in that fact. He's dead. Coming back feels like a sick joke.

The wisteria tree holds the resting souls of those who died here. Briefly, he considers Shuichi - considers wanting to steal his soul away and hiding it because he can't trust anyone else with his soul. Not the soul of the only person he felt he could've ever fully trusted with his heart and soul.

He'll probably cry later, when he's alone. That's the only time he's ever felt comfortable crying actual tears. Crocodile tears he can spring on impulse, but ones borne from emotion...even in front of someone seemingly kind, like Nene, there's something inside him that pushes back. He can't show weakness.]


People having magic?

[Now that, in some sense, catches his attention.]

People can gain power here?

[Someone who might only know the surface level personality of Kokichi might assume this might be used for a foul purpose. Something that made his 'Ultimate Supreme Leader' talent truly shine in the most gruesome way possible. Not so.

He's already thinking on it because if such is the case, then he has to learn all he can. He has to become the most powerful. He can't let anyone outclass him, because that would allow for more pain, more murder, more everything wrong happening, and it's the same problem he's always had: taking everything onto his own shoulders. His pride. What some might call the very thin line between selfishness and selflessness.]


...Although, apart from that. Is it fine for people to visit the tree?

[It's pathetic how he's clinging to that, and he knows it. It's duly, absolutely sad.

But this is an unjust afterlife, if it's made Shuichi suffer again. And he will improve it at any cost, if it's chosen to put him into this position again. Not someone who deserves to reincarnate. Someone who never will, repenting for their sins.

It's almost angelic.
What a joke.]

[Inaba was definitely going to cook something for herself since she can't rely on anyone to do the cooking for her, in spite of not exactly being ridiculously average at the task -- and that's when she sees Nene and raises a hand in a rather casual wave.]

Hey. What'cha making there?

[fortunately for her, the gardening club is also in her homeroom, and so going there is no trouble at all when she needs to duck back and grab a book for homework. the pleasant scent of earth, of plants, comes to her, and she pauses behind her desk to breathe it all in. if Nene is rushing about, she'll be thankfully easy to avoid - she's just happy to be part of it at the moment.

curiously, she draws closer to some of the pots, resting her hand on the side of one to feel the texture. it's spring now, isn't it...they'll all be coming back to life.]
decrypter: (light.)

[personal profile] decrypter 2022-04-06 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[so gently, she touches the leaves, eyes widening at the smooth texture, the faintest coolness from them. she smiles, turning in Nene's direction.]

It's lovely...it feels like it's grown up strong. You've been doing a wonderful job of it!
