[ Day 308 - Closed ] ( We are sentimental slaves on broken knees, we're on empty... )

Who: Makoto Naegi ([personal profile] bulletofhope) and Ibuki Mioda ([personal profile] scary_music) + Komaru the Furfrou.
Open: NOPE. It's closed, locked and even boarded shut.
When: Day 308.
Where: Naegi's apartment.
What: Naegi and Ibuki discussing what happened in their world and its implications.
Format: Any?
Warnings: Spoilers for the Dangan Ronpa series, obviously.



[ Shortly after this entire encounter with Togami, Naegi had ended up shutting himself away in his apartment for several days to contemplate what he'd just learned about their world from him.

It was unusual, to say the least, seeing Togami again after spending a long time in this place without thinking about what could have happened to their friends - it was always in the back of his mind, though, and part of him then would have been happy to see anyone again from their world.

However, after a ridiculously long session of proverbial teeth pulling from him he wasn't so sure. Among other things, he'd learned that Oogami had killed herself to end the fighting after being outed as Monobear's mole, that the Junko Enoshima they saw killed was her twin sister Mukuro Ikusaba, and that Junko herself was the mastermind and had perished after the game was stopped.

To say nothing of The Worst, Most Despair-Inducing Incident in the History of Mankind and everything that came to pass with it. So... even if they did find a way back home, their world was more or less in ruins. And the worst part is he still doesn't know what happened to his parents or Komaru.

The Furfrou he'd named after her seemed to notice his depression, for he soon found himself being distracted from his task at hand by a floofy white mane rubbing against him and barking at him in encouragement. ]


A-ah... thanks, Komaru...! You didn't have to...

[ And yet she did anyway. He laughs for a few more moments before he gets up from the table... well, now he's distracted enough that he's gesturing for her to follow him so they could play outside, oblivious to the guest that was waiting outside his door... ]

KNOCK KNOCK!

[... that was less of a knock knock and Ibuki just... slamming open Makoto's door]

Makoto-chan, Makoto-chan, stop being holed up like a hermit crab!!!!!!
scary_music: (Ahaha...)

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-08 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
Um, um...

... Whoah...

Talk about bad timing! Okay! Um, um...! Hold still, Makoto-chan!

[she hurries next to Makoto, using the healing touch ability on him that she'd gotten just the other day from the monument!... hopefully Komaru won't bite her while she does this]

Whaaaaaaaaat?! Call Pepper Jack to the front lines!!

Wait I mean...! Um, um, pokemon guy, Ibuki's just trying to heal Makoto-chan!

[Trying to get... that healing touch on Makoto!]
scary_music: (Too stressful!)

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-08 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
That'sa no gouda!

We need to unleash the muenster!

[Okay... healing touch on Makoto! Finally! Go!]
scary_music: (Ahaha...)

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-08 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ummm...

Ibuki might've accidentally caved in your face with the door. Whoops!
scary_music: (Too stressful!)

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-08 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry!

... But um, um...

... you talked to evil toothpick Byakuya-chan, right? Right? Did... did he say anything? He didn't want to tell Ibuki anything! What a jerk!
scary_music: (Ahaha...)

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-08 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
... the Byakuya-chan I knew was um, totally big and fat. And not a big jerk like evil toothpick-chan.

... but wait, he didn't tell you anything, either?
scary_music: (I left the oven on.)

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-08 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
I...

... Ibuki's not sure about that. We got to talking about... suddenly, he said something about an imposter, and I... well...

[Why did 'imposter' seem to hit something in her mind?]

Well, Ibuki already checked by depantsing evil toothpick and she's pretty sure he can't be the Super High School Level Imposter, because, um...

[wait no, how did that even prove it???]

A-anyway, things! Don't leave Ibuki in suspense, Makoto-chan!

scary_music: (Seriously why would you do that?!)

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-08 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
Where to start?! How does Ibuki know where to start?!

Um, how about who the mastermind is??????? How about that?????
scary_music: (Ahaha...)

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-08 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Huh... that name sounded familiar... but then, she probably just saw her in a magazine before...?]

Junko-chan? It was just all her??

Ibuki wonders why Byakuya-chan didn't just say so... he was being all super secretive about giving out that name for some reason!
scary_music: (That's so messed up I lost all color)

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-08 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
Huh...?

[Ibuki froze at that...]

Muku-chan?

[an image flashed through her mind]

The... ... the spears...?

[she... she remembered... she remembered laughing as she and the others watched as Mukuro was impaled by the spears of gungnir]

[And then a deluge of other memories followed suit... barely comprehensible immediately except for one powerful emotion...]

[D́͞e͏̵̶̛s̀͝͞͞p̶̴̧a͘͟í̡̕r̡̡͟͝͠]

[She slowly fell to her knees, hands slowly going up to the sides of her head]


I...?
scary_music: (So many tears I turned black and white.)

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-08 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
[she flinched back from the hand, tears gathering in her eyes as she turned away. She didn't... how could she have...?]

I...

... Makoto-chan...?

[... as she said that name, she recognized it. Not just from having met him at the Bastion. From well before the Bastion. And Aoi... and Byakuya...]

[And now a feeling of D́͞e͏̵̶̛s̀͝͞͞p̶̴̧a͘͟í̡̕r̡̡͟͝͠ ... somehow, it was so familiar to her. She had always felt some D́͞e͏̵̶̛s̀͝͞͞p̶̴̧a͘͟í̡̕r̡̡͟͝͠ in her life but... she'd never realized it had... gotten so bad...]


I'm... I'm so sorry, I...!

... it... it was more than just... them, I... you didn't know about...

... there... there were more of them... of us...! Super High School Level Despair, I... I was...
scary_music: (TEARS AND SNOT EVERYWHERE)

[personal profile] scary_music 2015-05-08 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
I...

[She shakes a bit, almost dropping the cup...]

[The memories were there... the D͏̛ȩ̸̴͜͟ś̵͝͠p̷̷͘ą̷̢i̴҉̕r͏̨͜ was there... but somehow, it didn't feel like her... that it was a different person. But it was still there, in her head... trying to make her feel D͏̛ȩ̸̴͜͟ś̵͝͠p̷̷͘ą̷̢i̴҉̕r͏̨͜ again]


I... Makoto-chan I...

I don't... I don't want to feel despair again, Makoto-chan! I don't want to feel it again!!!

[she was tightening her grip on the glass, looking as if she was about to break it]
