( what they do together normally isn't planned, but it happens without warning when they find themselves in close proximity of each other. rika, who enjoys playing pranks and messing around with everyone involved to have a good laugh mixed with komaeda's need to push people further all for the sake of hope to strengthen bring them both equal amounts of joy. for better or for worse, their chaotic actions normally spells trouble for all those that were involved, and those that will be involved. especially when there's talk of another meeting in the future where they can all come together and bond over newfound clues. )
You said they were holding another meeting soon?
( komaeda goes out his way to pay attention, but between the desks and chairs that were being thrown here and there, he most likely missed that part. a hand rests on his hip, rubbing the area to ease the pain that he still has — probably a bruise that just won't heal correctly, but he's propped up against a desk listening to what rika has on her mind. it's probably nothing good, but komaeda's brain is rotting so might as well act where hope tells him to go, and besides, rika appears to be excited about their gettogether actually. )
It'd be no good in the same room as last time, there's hardly a chair or desk left, haha! ( and we wonder why that is. )
( lately, her mischievous streak has been particularly bad, she thinks. to begin with, she has more opportunities to mess with people here than she did back home — and secondly, she enjoys the attention it brings to her a little too much to behave. that, combined with the recent frustrations, makes for a bad combo — bad enough to cooperate with komaeda, whom she thinks she can get along with solely when there's trouble to be stirred. )
Hmm... yeah. Well, I didn't get deets, 'cuz I had to leave early, ( because SOMEONE carried her out — ) but just in case, y'know, we should think of something funny.
(should they? no. will they? yes. )
I wanna know which room it is so I can preemptively draw dicks on the blackboard...
I saw... Are you okay? ( he says this honestly, something casual he's learned through his life without thinking too much of it. while they do share unsavory memories, komaeda doesn't base his actions now off of them — this is probably a simulation all over again, he doesn't know.
looking towards the door of the classroom to see if anyone will walk in or not, but students just pass by at their leisure. they really are a separate group between the transfers and the students who are already here, and that's probably why none of them enter to speak with them. it's good because her objective makes him laugh, looking back over to her with a smile. )
If Yashiro-san is hosting it again, we could ask her. ( if not, he's sure someone will fill them in, but they know to keep their plans vague. ) That would lighten the mood between everyone, especially the new girl. You saw her, right?
( the one who stayed by ouma the most, she seems like a hard one to please, actually. ) We might have to double our efforts.
( the question catches her off-guard. is she okay? absolutely not. she's still plagued by the sight of the girl's death, of her throat slit, of the blood splattering all over the clocktower. her neck still hurts, where the knife had sunk into flesh, a constant reminder that that night was real, and not just a nightmare she could forget. everything... everything still weighs on her, heavy and unpleasant; she tries her best not to show it, because she'd honestly rather die than let her feelings show on her face, but...
her lips purse in a thin line, and she shrugs, glancing away.
that's all the answer he's gonna get out of her on this. )
Hmm... dunno. The idea is just childish enough that it probably is, but who knows. ( sleepover? in a haunted school? who came up with that?
she's not gonna admit it, but sleeping with other people in the same room is actually pretty comforting, though... on the outside, she has to appear Nonchalant and Uncaring, however, so. )
You mean the girl from the case? ( with everything happening, she hasn't had a chance to really... talk to her, or even take a better look at her. it's good that she's alive, though; rika still doesn't understand why and how, but, well. all that matters is that she is.) You got anything in mind?
( it was just a question, not too much of a big deal, but enough to tell komaeda a few things. she's handling this on her own, and if he could praise her for being able to get through whatever it was without being able to answer properly, then that must have done something to her hope. in response to her pursed lips, komaeda offers a kind smile that he's satisfied — for what, exactly? well, it's not like they're going to pursue the subject, and instead he focuses on their plotting. )
We can mix it together with something else, if it's a sleepover, right? ( give him a moment to think about it, he hasn't actually been to a normal sleepover, and everyone back on jabberwock (simulation) wasn't as thrilled to be in the same vicinity as him. the same could be said before then, and so he doesn't have a proper view of how this should go. he's read some things online before, and what he recalls from the girls — )
Cucumbers for people to put on their eyes... I have no idea why it's done, but isn't that a typical sleepover goal? ( holding up his hand, he points outside the hall, indicating what's to come next. ) You can eat them too, and whatever isn't devoured, the bugs can eat them.
( it goes from cucumbers to bugs, but komaeda speaks as if he's putting one and one together in hopes to make two, if it doesn't make sense, he'll fill in the gaps. )
( he's lucky she doesn't notice the smile on his face, as his gaze falls on her neck. if she did, she'd karate chop him straight in the mouth. )
Honestly, I haven't thought about this that much... past the vandalizing. ( she's a simple girl who wants to force the most scandalized reaction out of all the prudes around here.
but, well. komaeda is different; he wants reactions, but for reasons... a little more malicious than she does. she still hears him out, because they're supposed to be working together on this and she won't abandon him, but the more she hears about his plan, the more doubtful she grows. do they even have cucumbers here? has he seen any in the home ec room?
... and where did the bugs come from??? )
I doubt we can get everyone coordinated enough to lay down at the same time and put cucumbers on their eyes, even if some of these ugly zombies definitely need it. Anyway — what bugs?
( actually, komaeda scared the shit out of him that he purchased a horned beetle by accident, and once it dropped on the ground, the bug started to flutter around. watching him squirm was a sight actually, the way his hands covered the nape of his neck to prevent it from crawling under. )
They're in the vending machine, but I never noticed them before...
( imagine trying to get a snickers for when your boo starts acting up, and instead click for a bottle of wasps? it sounds insane, but it's an idea they can use towards motivating the other's hopes. putting them in a situation where they have to avoid terrorizing bugs from ruining their night, but as long as everyone can make the most of it then they're doing a pretty good job. it's not the best komaeda idea, it's more mundane than anything, but he'll put more thought into it when he decides to host a party himself. ) We need plenty of merit points if we're to put our plan into action.
