A Fortunate Arival

[despairing_hope]

[Arriving on Base]

[He was vaguely aware of waking up inside a small capsule. If he was to describe it he would liken it to one of those escape pods you see in scifi films. He might have had more to describe if he hadn't been violently jerked out of one perceived reality to another. After all, it was a little hard to go from a rather unpleasant state to suddenly waking up in a small capsule and being attacked by some horrible sea monster.]

Oh what bad luck!

[But as soon as he said that much a laser fired out and monster got distracted going somewhere else. before he knew it something was shooting him out and directly towards the base. Though his legs were a little wobbly, and he definitely needed a moment to gather himself it didn't take too much effort to board. As soon as he walked in he smiled cheerfully.]

It was lucky after all!

[Med Bay]

[Despite a safe arrival he was not in a good state. Being stationary for the minimum of a month, the maximum of who even knows is hard on the body, especially Nagito's body. For the time being he was simply resting in one of the beds, though trying to get up every so often to move around. However, staying here was troubling him. He had taken measure of himself, it was someone else. A person that worried him.]

I guess my assumption was true then....

[Did that mean he failed? He had to know... he had to know if his plan had been successful, if he had saved them! Still... if he was here....

He lifted up his left arm and stared at the hand there. That hand that didn't belong. A woman's hand with red nails....]

This really is unlucky in the end.

[Library]

[It was later at night and Nagito had more or less made camp in the room. There wasn't anywhere else for him to go. Taking a private room didn't feel right, and he couldn't bare the thought of sharing it with others. However, he liked the idea of being where all the books in this place were. He could read them at leisure, and unless someone told him he couldn't stay... well, it was a free space, right?]

[He has always explained, and no one ever understood! Hinata kun was the only one to even maybe get close, he thought maybe he did, but in the end he didn't either! What was the point in repeating it, it was inevitable to fail at this point. He didn't need her or anyone to understand him, he just had to know what he knew and bear with it alone. It was what he always did anyway.

He ignored the first part, but sighed at the order. He wasn't particularly compelled to follow it, but, he would give in.]

Oh? Like cutting it off? I did think of doing that.

[He said it in a chipper tone at odds with the conversation.

Since you insist though, I'll comply. But please understand this much, I have no reason to try and kill any of you so there's no reason to worry about that. However, I can't promise how long I'll be here with you all, so my ending will just be inevitable.

[ that. sounds as vague and ominous and komaeda-y as ever...sonia huffs in annoyance. ]

I understand wanting her hand gone, but trying to do so on your own would have been a terrible idea! [ she's. not sure she believes the killing thing because his reasons for doing anything are hard to comprehend, but okay. ] I also think it is likely foolhardy to do something that would take you away from here, but...I will not interfere in your business.

[despairing_hope]

I must have done it on my own before, it can't be that hard to do it again.

[This was easier. Brushing over this like it was nothing.]

Oh, I have no control, it's an event that was set into motion years before anything even started. It's even over do. I'm quite surprised! It's like one of those movies where you watch a cursed tape, you don't know when your time will run out, but it will eventually. You can't do anything to stop it, the ghost will come to get you no matter where you go. Alas, there's no tape to share with anyone. But then, isn't it cruel to share such a thing? Isn't it better to just be the last person in the chain to watch it?

I rather liked those movies.

[occultural]

No, you likely had Tsumiki-san to assist...

[ she assumes that would be the case, anyway. sonia brightens, because of course she does. ]

Oooh! You mean "Ring"? I did not know you were a horror film fan, Komaeda-san! You also saw "Rasen"? Which one did you like better?

[despairing_hope]

The book was more fulfilling, I felt the film was lacking. Especially since they had already made a sequel movie and a prequel movie. Though, I think Ju-rei handles curses better. Sometimes you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time near the wrong person....

[Sort of like his luck.]

[occultural]

If you preferred the book, then perhaps you liked the television movie better? "Ring: Kanzenban". It was overall more accurate, was it not?

[ ??? where did this conversation go. ]

[despairing_hope]

I heard it was, though I never got around to watching it. Maybe I should see if it's available?

[ They discovered they actually had a mutual interest? ]

[occultural]

I was told URSULA-san has many videos on file. Should she have those ones - or the drama series!! - I shouldn't mind seeing them again myself, truly.

[despairing_hope]

Oh that does sound fun, maybe there can be a horror movie night. As long as it's only supernatural.

[occultural]

[ she's about to ask why, but honestly, it's not like sonia thinks she needs to see slasher flicks for the moment... ]

I do not think such a thing would be terribly difficult to organize...

[ especially if she delegates it to someone else. ]

[despairing_hope]

Then it's settled!

[He liked mysteries, he liked suspense and he liked horror, but when horror got realistic it was just uncomfortable and hard to enjoy. It was nice to know Sonia wasn't too attatched to the idea of something with a serial killer at the moment.]

I look forward to the event.

[Somehow, their meeting ended on a positive note? If only it could be so simple with everyone.]

[occultural]

Yes, I will contact you with details when it is set up...that aside: see to getting yourself to a doctor at once to deal with that, if you intend to do so!

[ he already agreed but she feels a reminder is...necessary. ]

I will see you later, Komaeda-san. Please try not to get into too much trouble until then.

[ with a brief curtsy she's off... ]

[despairing_hope]

[He still felt reluctant but he closed his eyes and nodded. After all he didn't want to keep it, there was no reason not to do as asked.]

Oh I will be on my best behavior.

[Or he will try to do what he thought was best behavior. It wasn't like he had the best judgement for that.

He slowly waved her off, and though he didn't get one of the most pressing questions he had answered, he did feel positive about this meeting. Perhaps... yes, good luck would definitely come!]
