[This is the first time Komeada has used the network to broadcast anything himself. He's smiling, though that's pretty typical for him, but there's a slight awkwardness to it.]

It would seem that by happenstance I've become a father.

[He sighs deeply, it is a rather purposeful sigh.]

I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do now though. I've been trying to look up information on how to go about it but the recourses are a bit lacking.

Biology was never really something I looked too deeply into. It seems a bit unlucky to be burdened by this so suddenly.

[He brightens at the next part though.]

However, I guess it is a rather lucky encounter to be bestowed a life to nurture!

Even though I was assaulted and insulted in the process.

[He sighs again, this one more genuine.]

Now I feel rather tired. So... yes, if someone could please help me, I don't really have enough stamina left to try and figure this out right now.

[And he does look rather drawn and tired. Paler than usual.]

[ That's when Undyne makes her grand appearance in the video feed, but not before setting off any number of crashes and explosions in the background? Did half the base just go up in flames? Sure sounds like it, but that's hardly important. Anyway... ]

What's up, buttmunches?! I'm a MOM now and if any of you losers even THINK about coming near MY egg-- [ She will fight Komaeda for it for custody!! Except not really. She'll share, just very badly, because that's Undyne. BUT EVERYONE ELSE STAY AWAY. ] --I'll make you regret it!

SO STAY AWAY FROM MY EGG!

[ A beat, and then: ] Oh! And uh... stay outta the Void, okay? It's too dangerous out there for you nerds.

...This is a joke, right?

Hinata kun.

[He paused a moment, as if debating on what to say next. His energy was low right now to really play around so he decided to actually be more straightforward.]

It is, and it isn't. I was given an egg. It really is important to take care of however.

How... did you get an egg out of the Void?

Hmmm.... well, Undyne san sort of dragged me, I said if I was meant to meet anything related to the song I heard I probably would rather simply. There ended up being a rather large creature who spat it at me.

[He frowned a little.]

They said my hope was false. And then spat this egg at me.

What else did it say...?

[His expression eases out of incredulity and into something more suited to Thinking Time^TM.]

If you had a conversation with it... tell me everything.

It wasn't really a conversation, more like mental assault.

[The voice in his head had been startling to say the least.]

When it spit the egg it told me "Their true hope. Try your best and fail." I'm determined to not fail. My hope isn't false. Also, when we left, nothing attacked us. They just watched.

"Their" true hope. Meaning... the creature you spoke with?

[That's troubling. Especially where Nagito's concepts of hope are concerned, because really, Hajime's not too keen on seeing another attempt by the other teen of making sure the kind of hope he wants to see is really present.]

Komaeda... this seems like a really bad idea.

It could be the creature, it could be all the creatures. It could even be the hope of the entire planet!

[His tone was excited, it would be a familiar type of excited.]

[Oh no. There he goes. He was wondering how long it would take until he heard that kind of patented Nagito Excitement.]

...Yeah, I'm even more sure that this is a bad idea now. You should give the egg to someone who actually knows what they're doing, if you won't give it back. I don't think it's actually "hope," probably just the creature messing with you.

[This base probably can't survive Nagito's hope fetish.]

My plan is to have someone who is more familiar with marine biology help! And regardless of what it is, or is not doing, it's still a baby creature, so we should still take care of it. But, I have faith it's important.

Or would you be the sort of heartless person that would destroy it because you don't understand?

Hinata kun... I expected more from you.

[Can you hear his disapproval? Because he is disapproving here. Baby hater.]

You know that's not what I meant...

[Hajime sighs and rakes a hand through his hair, trying to figure out what his next step should be. Nagito having possession of any kind of literal embodiment of hope seems like an absolutely terrible idea, but if he won't listen to reason about returning the egg from whence it came, then...]

What about Dave? Dave Strider, Dirk's brother. He's been raising the Magister, and I'm pretty sure he's good with animals.

[ He made a face as if considering it hard. He didn't know Dave. But if they were already raising animals and were good with them it was the best option. ]

I don't mind as long as they know what they're doing and it will be alright.

[ He then smiled brightly.]

I trust your opinion Hinata kun. So if you think he's the best choice I'll trust him to be the best choice.

Edited 2016-09-26 02:31 (UTC)

I think if any of us are qualified, it'd be him.

[He... hopes. It's all he can do, really. Though now he's even more stressed, because if Nagito thinks he's going to make the right decision with regards to who's going to take care of it... if Dave fucks this all up, that means it'll indirectly be Hajime's fault.]

I still have a bad feeling about this... this is the kind of stuff we probably shouldn't be messing around with.

[Don't disappoint him Hinata, Nagito was already pouring a lot of his faith into this.]

And what should we be doing? There's really no other choice now. We have it, so it should be taken care of. And I know what I'm going to do, I'm going to make sure it hatches and I'll do everything I can for it.

I'll even give it my life if I need to! Not that such an insignificant offer is worth anything though.

[He pauses a moment, switching gears slightly.]

Hinata kun, can I ask you a favor?

[His tone shifted to a quieter one.]

Komaeda...

[You're concerning him. More than usual. Is some strange creature calling something "hope" enough to set Nagito off like this...? When they don't even know what it wants, or what the planet wants. What happened to the boy who said he didn't want to die for them, but now wants to die for this egg?

But he's presented his points, made his argument. And he really doesn't want to know what would happen if he tried to take the egg from Undyne.

The change in tone catches Hajime's attention, though, knitting his brows as he frowns.]

What is it?

[It gave him a focus when previously he had been feeling a bit lost. The more he thought about it, and it's potential future the more intense he felt about assuring that future. The more he felt dedicated to proving he could do it.]

It's a bit embarrassing to ask, and I'm not sure who else I can ask... and of course you don't have to humor me or anything. There's no obligation to me after all. But... if you could help me bring this to where it needs to go, as well as get to the medical bay, it would be greatly appreciated.

Ah, unless that sort of thing puts you off, at the very least can I trust you to bring this egg to your friend?

Hang on...

[Not that he objects to any of that at all, but-]

Why do you have to go to the medical bay? Are you injured?

[SHOULD HAVE OPENED THE VIDEO WITH THAT ASSHOLE!!]

[As if he would do anything direct like that.]

Injured? No, not at all. Nothing even touched me!

[He was lucky, as a given.]

However... it took hours and we had to swim back so....

It's not really anything important. Maybe a little anemic?

[Of course nothing touched him, though Hajime's expression flattens into something deadpan.]

It sounds more like you need to go to the kitchen than the medbay, idiot. You're--

[He was going to say lucky you didn't pass out and drown, but of course he was lucky.]

You have to eat something more substantial than toast if you're planning to exert yourself that much.
