Chapter 1: Goodbye, High-School Life

[hopefullyyours]

Who: Nagito Komaeda and anybody else
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: On the Marsiva
When: 1/30

[Komaeda shows the stars before himself, arranging his bad arm one last time to make certain nothing is showing. It's a wasted effort- his hand is already tightly bundled up under multiple layers of bandage and clothing. He switches the view so he's fully visible.]

Hello, hello! What an interesting setting we're in now. I don't suppose Monokuma has given us any announcements to explain why it looks like we're in space?

[He smiles, eyebrows quirking up. It's an expression that seems to beg forgiveness, though there's a shadow of another expression, a colder one, behind his eyes. The combination of those two layered expressions reads as contempt, but is it just that?] And, goodness my, but it's quiet here. Have I been locked up again? In punishment? I promise you all, I did what I did in order to further you-

... To further hope.

Hahaha, such an accurate rebuke. I fully accept your criticism! If I'd spent more time thinking about it, some other oddities would definitely have caught my eye. It was completely unreasonable to react like I did!

[a short pause]

It wasn't a rebuke. I was hoping you were knowledgeable.

Re: Text

[hopefullyyours]

Ah, I see. In that case, somebody like me can really only figure out so much, but do you have any specific questions? I can do my best to answer them.

This sort of thing is familiar to you?

Re: Text forever

[hopefullyyours]

Well..... Maybe? At least, waking up in strange places with no memory of why.

Re: Text forever

[mortalcoil]

Explain.

[hopefullyyours]

Oh, do I have to? Haha. That's sort of a long story, after all... Let's just say it's an unbearably long tale and leave it at that.

[mortalcoil]

It sounds relevant. I need information.

[Coil is obviously the best at this talking-to-new-people thing. look at him go.]

[hopefullyyours]

Eh? It's... impawsible to really sum up.....

[If this goes on much longer he's going to run out of bear-related puns. HMMM.]

[mortalcoil]

Try.

[watch as it all goes sailing high over Coil's head, because somebody has no sense of humor and is terrible at picking up social cues! yay!]

[hopefullyyours]

Er.... My classmates and I.... were on an island... and now I'm here. Haha, I suppose that's all I know after all! How shameful that I would boast like that but in the end know nothing at all.

[Things Komaeda has no issue with: pretending to be much less knowledgeable than he actually is. It doesn't always hurt to play the village idiot.]

[mortalcoil]

[and Coil, being ready to believe that most people are complete idiots, buys it pretty easily. welp.]

Nevermind.

[hopefullyyours]

Sorry to disappoint!

[Wow, that worked way better than he expected.]
