action: an arrival
[ to say sonia's arrival is less than stellar would be an understatement. while she recalls waking up at the monolith and being contacted by someone in particular, the details on getting from there to one of the life pods are fuzzy...mostly because she is immediately catapulted into action. unfortunately. not that sonia minds action precisely but she absolutely protests the following:action: outside room 20
1) another life pod firing a laser that causes a huge-ass reaper to attack her pod;
2) her poor life pod being Wrecked and summarily being dropped into the ocean;
3) running low on air while holding her breath and trying to dodge. a sea monster;
4) said sea monster ripping her skirt with its teeth?
she protests less the timely arrival of drones (with breathing equipment!) and their saving her, but literally all of them were lost and eaten by a reaper (still no idea what that was, by the way) so today is just. well it sure is a day. it was already a day but now it is even more of a day.
so there's a soaking wet princess near the base entry with a torn skirt and a mildly displeased expression - a true rarity - attempting to wring out her hair. and her skirt. and her blouse. and her everything? she straightens up to perfect posture when she hears footsteps, however. ]
Excuse me! I require a towel at once, or a change of clothes. Please direct me to one of the two immediately.
[ it's a mix of polite and commanding, although she does manage to clear away the very small frown and replace it with her best neutral smile. ]
[ well. she has to sleep somewhere and she doesn't particularly want to share her space with certain people (souda) so sonia is simply picking one of the private rooms that is open at complete random.action: library
she peers inside. ]
Hm...a one-mat room, correct? Exciting! Though the mat itself is missing...well, no matter! I shall take it all the same. Perhaps I should make a nameplate?
[ she's...completely not paying attention to her surroundings, so if you make a sudden noise - even speaking, she'll whirl. ]
Oh! You cannot sneak up on me like that! [ that's a pure order, commanding pose and all. it breaks after a second as she tilts her head to the side and smile brightly, though. ] ...That said, hello! How do you do? If you are looking for a room, I am afraid I have just laid claim to this one.
[ when she has free time late in the evening sonia wanders towards the library. it's admittedly not much compared to the one at home in novoselic, or even the one on the island, but at least there are some books. she's sort of frowning and thumbing through them, though. maybe not any she likes...? ]
Everything seems to be in the same language...oooh! [ humming happily, she pulls out one of those occult books that was found over a month ago, happily flipping through the pages. this doesn't seem like something particularly useful to be reading, sonia, but okay. ] I've never seen this sort of demon summoning ritual before! And potions, too.
no subject
Uh... yeah, I'm fine. I don't think anyone's feeling ill anymore.
[Because clearly she must have... somehow heard about Plague Inc. that had gone around the base? That's all he can think of, anyway, though the question about "the others draws a matching frown to his lips, and he shoves his hands in his pockets.]
It's... just me and Souda. URSULA told you that?
[And he can't quite mask a faint note of suspicion that URSULA immediately knew Sonia was part of their class. Or maybe Sonia had told her...?]
no subject
[ her usual friendly smile fades into a worried frown as she completely loses track of the conversation. ]
Naegi-san said to rendezvous with Miss URSULA - why are Owari-san and Kuzuryuu-san not yet here? We all ought to have woken at the same time...
no subject
[He closes his eyes, sighs quietly. Of course. She must somehow think she was supposed to be here -- and maybe she is supposed to be here. Maybe it's his memories that are messed up, and hers are correct. The fact remains that he hasn't been on Jabberwock Island for more than two months already, so it's impossible they would have woken up at the same time as she thinks.
He opens his mouth to ask who Naegi is, and also why Fuyuhiko and Akane are the ones she's looking for, but then it hits him. That's right, Kazuichi had said Nagito and Chiaki were...]
...Do you mind if we get out of the hall? My room isn't too far away, [pro...baby?? Annabeth please save us,] if you want to sit somewhere more comfortable. I don't think Souda or Ichinose are in there right now.
no subject
[ how dare you? ]
To ask me to your room unaccompanied...of course we shall be using mine!
[ because that's. somehow better. but apparently hinata being in other people's rooms is okay, whereas the reverse is not okay. he should probably not question it if he actually wants to speak to her alone, since sonia will simply be pushing the door of the room she'd claimed opened further. ]
Oh, but you will have to stand or sit at the desk, of course.
[ she will sit on her bed. ]
no subject
Okay, okay! Sorry.
[He holds up both hands in an attempt to placate her, though, gesturing to allow her to enter the room first and only following behind once he's sure she's not going to just throw him back out again. He won't even close the door all the way either, because apparently that's inappropriate too probably??
Instead he'll only half-close it, instead moving to take a spot leaning against the desk.]
Hey... are you, uh, well? You just got here today, you said, so...
[Let's start our argument with any questions she might have. Those seem more pressing.]
no subject
[ like. i guess that can qualify as well if you squint, but. ]
...More importantly, you are worrying me. What is the matter, Hinata-san? I will have no beating around bushes or mysteries! We are done with that sort of thing.
[ if you make her solve a trial to figure out what's up she will throw you out of the room. ]
no subject
[G...great... that's something, alright. Though he'd rather her have gotten breathing equipment before even coming close to drowning?? "Fully drowning" sounds way too specific!
He stiffens reflexively when she tells him they're done, because if it's Sonia saying it, then he's going to have to be a direct as possible. She is still the princess, after all. And there are enough mysteries here without him adding to them.]
...
[He sighs, letting his hands rest back against the desk as he glances toward her.]
Can you tell me how you got here...? What you remember about your... arrival? And... is anyone else with you?
no subject
[ an important note. ]
Ah, and then I began to drown since it would not let me surface for air. But some of Miss URSULA's drones rescued me. Sadly....none of them survived...
[ ...............so that happened. ]
I was the only one in my pod, to my knowledge.
no subject
[His voice is quiet, a hand brought to his chin as if he's speaking more to himself than to her. A muscle in his jaw tightens at the mention of URSULA's drones narrowly saving her, and he nods, exhaling quietly as he glances back to her.]
I'm really glad you're okay. It's... it's going to sound really weird, but it's been a long time.
[His voice is quiet and careful, trying to get a read on his friend.]
I guess... I should start by letting you know that the last thing I remember clearly from the island was... Komaeda threatening to blow up the island. Do you remember that...? Souda says there was a trial after that, and that's... the last thing he can remember from the island. I've been stuck on this base for almost two months now.
no subject
Please hold...Souda-san only recalls one trial after Komaeda-san's threats?
[ which were. utter bullshit. or at least not the exact threats he'd given... ]
no subject
[No. No. He starts to go pale as his hands return to the desk behind him. Please don't tell him there was yet another trial after Nagito's...]
He told me about... about how Komaeda set Nanami up. How he used his "luck" to... to try to kill all of us except for her.
Is that wrong?
no subject
[ ... ]
It would be best if we met up with Souda-san also in attendance, that being the case.
no subject
[He repeats it numbly, fingers clutching the desk like a lifeline. Haven't they been through enough? With Nagito dead, who could have possibly killed someone else...?]
Y-yeah. I can call him if you want...?
[He's already bringing his hand up for his communicator, waiting for her to give him the go-ahead.]
OR ACTUALLY this wouldn't make sense timeline wise it'd have to be later
...Is there a place where the three of us could be alone tomorrow, perhaps?
OK
[He brings a hand to his chin, fighting to keep a sense of mounting dread from showing on his face.]
Maybe... we could go to one of the sand bars...? URSULA can't hear us on some of those, if it's... something you think we shouldn't talk about where it could be overheard.
no subject
[ since he like
does that ]
But, I should say this: none of us five killed or died before or during this trial. So, at least on that matter, please be at ease.
no subject
Okay. There's... here, hang on.
[Since his communicator is already readily at hand, literally, he brings up the map Dirk had installed in Report Card mode and highlights a particular sand bar.]
How about this one...? We can meet up there, and I doubt anyone will be able to overhear.
[he does breathe a sigh of relief at what she says, though it... doesn't exactly put him at ease.]
But... thanks. That's... good to know.
[Even if it raises all kinds of other questions.]
no subject
[ like.
if you thought she was going alone after today you're mistaken? ]
We will of course require guns or weapons of some sort...
no subject
[YEAH.... yeah getting almost-eaten would be kind of off-putting to anyone.]
Um... I don't know about weapons, but I have a pistol a friend of mine gave me. URSULA has other ones available, too.
no subject
[ her tone says the answer better be yes. ]
no subject
[??? Does Jake English's "I Just Met You Let's Shoot Stuff Adventure!" qualify?]
I mean... Jake's been teaching me how to shoot, and he's some kind of... jungle survivalist, to say the least. I know about uh, using the gun's safety to keep it from firing, and not to point it at people when it's loaded...
no subject
[ like. gradeschoolers and tanks. obviously sharpshooting is also a normal skill? ]
