05/10 Charity Auction

On Monday morning, each glass case in the auditorium has been fitted with a small scanner similar to the one on the vending machines, at which one's PDA can be pressed against to bid a chosen number of merit points. Bidding is open all day, discouraged during class time and so the bidding rush happens at lunch and after school until closing at 5:45 when students are set to start leaving for home. Bids are anonymous while in process— or, as anonymous as can be while staring daggers over your friend's shoulder daring them to outbid you— but the winning bids and bidders are posted at the front of the auditorium at the end of the day.

Among the list are:

Item
One free investigation by the Ultimate Detective
Handmade blanket
One free consultation with the Criminal Consultant
Sick backflip lessons
Self-defense lessons
Studying sessions
Boyfriend with Hajun Yeon for a day
Pair of carved wooden birds
Boyfriend with Natsume Sakasaki for a week
GameBoy Color with Power Quest, Monopoly, and Pokemon TCG
Nerf gun
Cursed chalk
Dinner with the principal
Body-chan (not actually listed as Body-chan)

Overall, the auction raised over ћ854,000 for the Save A Brain Foundation. Good job! You rock. Winners may pick up with items at any time during the week, after which anything leftover will be donated and the auditorium will be cleaned out by Saturday evening.

Body-chan

Rights to the body belong to Kokichi. The case as a whole cannot physically be moved away from the wall or out of the auditorium, and the lid will not open unless he taps his PDA, screen unlocked via fingerprint, against the sensor. He does not have to open it today, or even after time is up at the end of the week and the body and case will be removed if yet unclaimed— as long as the body has been in the case, it has never changed from appearing to be at the brink of death.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ At some point during the surgery the girl starts to rouse, hands cold to the touch but sweat beads on her forehead— a fever, or maybe it's the pain of having her flesh and skin pulled back together and sewn without any sort of anesthesia or ...sanitary medical tools... or replacing all the blood she lost and this last bit is what she's really feeling when she's had enough of drowning in a haze of pain but she can't even roll over and get away from whoever- whatever- is touching her and

cutting her? stabbing her?

she can't tell. her arms feel like lead. she clumsily grabs for the glint of light- the bloodied scalpel- and makes to drive it into the arm or leg of whoever has the pleasure of sitting next to her left side. ]

[Kokichi's a little distracted by the impromptu surgery going on here. That's his only excuse for not dodging the stabbing entirely.

Luckily, her strike is clumsy, and his attention was on her from the start, given...y'know, she is the subject of said surgery. He's just slightly delayed in spotting the movement of her arm before it suddenly strikes at him, and the tip of the scalpel catches him in the leg before he reels back and catches her wrist with his free hand. The other's still busy keeping pressure on her chest wound, so he turns his leg to keep the bead of blood from dripping to the floor. They don't need more of that shadow realm shit right now.

A shaky laugh escapes him, either shock or maybe relief.]

Jeez, what kind of way is that to thank someone for saving your life? How ungrateful!

[ She can't even get a good enough grip on the scalpel to keep a hold of it after Kokichi grabs her wrist, doesn't have the strength to pull away but she tries anyways, newly finished stiches be damned. Saving her life? When the last thing she remembers is dying, the searing pain in her side and her struggling to stay conscious, the biting cold, the feverish warmth, the urge to sleep and the ringing in her ears warning her not to close her eyes, to always keep them open.

Her mouth opens, no words come out. ]

[hopefully not impeding on surgery for a second time that day, Stephanie steps forward. she wasn't going to, before, but... the horse made her think about something. she doesn't think it's likely, but she'll try. on his behalf.

she stands near the girl's head, and speaks softly.]

... Are you Nao Sato?

[Yeah, this probably sucks without anesthetic or anything. He glances over to where the others are working, almost done but yeeesh, yeah that probably hurts, and decides the most useful he can be right now is as a distraction. He's good at that.

He squeezes her wrist, sensation to distract from the feeling of a needle stitching her up, and then drops her hand to wave his own scratched-up one in her face.]

I mean, look!! I already endured soooo much getting attacked by that cat, and this is the thanks I get?

[C'mon, doctorsquad, work fast.]

[ It sucks and she grits her teeth- tries to, to endure the pain, but she lacks the strength to do even that. She can barely lift her head to look at the Kokichi's hand, trying to pull hers away and the distraction is effective—-

but not as much as the sound of that name. ]

...How do you know?

[ Her voice is hoarse, a whisper, but her eyes flash up at Stephanie. Eyes wide open. ]

[she clasps her hands over her mouth for a moment. just. grinning. and not close to crying at all shut up.]

... Hiro Arisu really missed you.

[ It's a complicated expression that crosses her face, a grimace that could very much be attributed to the pain and the exhaustion and how much effort it takes to keep herself together, but it's also ...softer... and she looks away from Stephanie instead of answering her. What she has to say is not for Stephanie, or anybody else in this room, to hear. ]

[pardon her she is going to. immediately leave the room and just fucking. bounce around the goddamn hall, excitedly fist pumping. because obviously that's way more important than explaining anything about what just happened.]

[ Stephanie just excited they saved a life, it's fine ]

... Is everything alright in there?

[she seems cheerful enough so... probably nothing bad? but seriously when is someone actually gonna say 1) that there's a surgery going on in there and also 2) that bodychan is actually alive]

It's her, it's her, he's gonna be so excited! [she's literally like five seconds from breaking out the bing bang dance but she doesn't trust you hoes like that yet.]

It's Nao Sato! She owned my knife, and, uh, that weird horse? It's her, and she's alive, and also Kokichi got stabbed a little, but she probably didn't mean it, she's pretty out of it, but she said it's her name and then I told her Hiro missed her and, and--

[she's not slowing down she is actually just moving and speaking faster the longer she goes.]

[he'd have trouble keeping up with her energy on a good day and this is Definitely Not A Good Day, so excuse him while he takes a minute to process all of that—]

Nao Sato... is that— is that the body? Er, the girl, I mean, it'd be rude to call her a body...

... Is Kokichi alright? [there's no screaming and there are like 3 medics of varying skill in there so UHHHHhh he's. probably fine, right? hopefully??]

They're fixing whatever hurt her, so she's gonna be okay! [this is absolutely not certain at all but who knows that, not a child.] And then she can see Hiro again and he was so sad and they can be friends again and this is the best day ever!

[now is she ignoring the last question or did she not notice it. who knows.]

[Noah's dead on the floor but he manages to just sort of... look at Steph and nod, like, clearly something good happened, good for her. He's not going to ask because the details will probably go over his head at the moment. But he supports Steph and her bouncing.]

[Well. There goes Steph. Less people crowding the surgery room is probably good, but they're now down one bright pink distraction. Those had been some interesting reactions, and Kokichi is filing that all away to think over later, but for now he can jump back in with keeping her attention away from the needles and whatnot.

Besides, there are things they really need to know.

The hand still hovering near the girl's face suddenly pokes at her cheek, once again demanding her attention.]

Heyyy, if you've got it together enough to talk to Stephanie-chan, then you can answer some important questions, right? Liiike...how'd you get so hurt in the first place?

[ She's going to ask for her knife back and stab Kokichi in the gut, just wait

She scowls, though, at the cheek poking and the shouting and the fact that she knows less about what's going on than all those people crowded outside, probably. Who is this punk and why should she answer his questions when she can just ignore him and close her eyes— and open them immediately like she'd been jolted out of a bad dream. Nope. Punk's still here. ]

Messed up.

[ Is all she has to offer for all of Kokichi's efforts, and she makes her own effort to move herself away from probing hands. How about you! tell her!! what's going on first!!! ]

How bad do you gotta mess up to be almost dead and put up for auction??

[Sorry, Bodychan, said punk is not in the habit of being straightforward about anything. Better get used to his roundabout way of doing shit real quick. On the bright side, being annoyed at him is a great distraction from the surgery?]

Oh, I won the auction, by the way!

[ Between the patient coming to and stabbing Ouma, and others barging in, he was about to lose it. Thankfully, it all came to a stop and he could work better. ]

Anyway, you're Nao Sato, right? Well, Sato-san, you're in rough shape at the moment.

[ He finally finishes up the last of the stitches, setting the needle aside and getting bandages; hopefully that'll bring her some comfort. He continues to speak as he starts wrapping her up tightly. ]

I had to go in and stitch you up- you were bleeding profusely. You shouldn't move around too much or use much force for a while- don't want the stitches coming apart.

[ ?? ???

"put up for auction" what the fuck does that even mean

She looks away from him and at Senku instead. ]

Sock him for me.

[ Nao, Nao no, Senku can't hit he's got noodle arms. ]

Heh, I'm afraid my backhand doesn't have that much power. But you're a trooper- I'm happy to see you're talking.

[ He looks to the others in the bathroom for a moment. ] Can someone get her some filtered water?

[ He looks back down at Nao, head full of so many questions, but he'd have to be patient. ]

I'm Senku Ishigami, one of the transfers here. Can you tell me what happened to you? What was the last thing you remember before waking up here? Don't push yourself too much though.

[ Stab Kokichi with the scalpel which she failed to do. Finish the job.

She groans and settles back down, though, wanting to slip away- it'd be so easy to just slip away- but who knows if she'll be able to open her eyes again after. Breathing takes effort. Her whole body feels like it's on fire so hot she feels chills. ]

Getting my gut ripped open. What's it to you? You can't play police.
