Day 309 [Open]

[dontyoujustwish]

Who: Anya, Ibuki, Patchouli, and anyone else!
Open: Open! Mostly.
When: Day 309
Where: All over the Bastion
What: SNOW!
Format: I'll match
Warnings: It's Anya.

[For Ibuki and Patchouli]
[Sometime after lunch, Anya takes off to look for two of her best lady friends with a spellbook under her arm and some key ingredients in her pockets.

She's quite cheerful about it, a little oblivious to whatever else might have been going on lately. Cheerful, and insistent. She will track you down.]


[Open to All]
[Later in the day, Bastionites may be surprised to look up and notice that... it's snowing. Not only that, but the temperature has dropped.

At least in the more southerly parts of the Bastion. The farmlands might get a few sporadic flurries, but it isn't cold enough there to stick.

So if you've been missing snowmen or snowball fights or any of those activities that require winter to happen, now's your chance. It's probably not going to last very long.]

That's a great idea... I have quite a bit of shards, so we can pool them together to make a memorial for them.

[ Naegi nods resolutely, shaking his pocket. That's a lot of Shards he has there... ]

[scary_music]

... Yeah...

And... Ibuki wonders if we should include Junko-chan, too...? I... I mean, I know she did terrible things but... but so did Ibuki and a bunch of her friends and...

Well, you know, a lot of terrible things probably happened to Junko-chan, just like a lot of Ibuki's other friends from that whole thing, right??

[bulletofhope]

Yeah... I... I admit, I'm kind of torn about her myself.

I mean, yeah, she did a lot of terrible and reprehensible deeds, but... even then...

[scary_music]

... Well, um, Ibuki will leave that decision in your hands. It's not like Ibuki really has the right to make that call, right? If you'd rather Ibuki just leaves out the others that were with her, too, then...

[bulletofhope]

. . . that would kind of defeat the purpose of the memorial, though, wouldn't it?

[ Naegi frowns, looking at her seriously as he explains. ]

When it comes to Enoshima-san, well... I'm still not sure about what to say or do about her. Perhaps... I never will. And I think I'm okay with that.

But it doesn't change the fact that your friends were as much a victim of her schemes as everyone else was. I don't doubt that had things been different you wouldn't have gone along with her.

[scary_music]

Well um... we can always start with everybody else then and add Junko-chan later if we feel like it?

... what about Muku-chan? I mean, I'd just add her but... Byakuya-chan knows about her, right? So... that... could get awkward?

[bulletofhope]

. . . well, don't forget, I also know Ikusaba-san too now thanks to Togami-kun.

[ Naegi nods quietly, a sad smile on his face as he explains. ]

I think she should be on the memorial, too. Since in the end she was at much of a victim of Enoshima-san as our friends...

[scary_music]

A-ahaha... Ibuki just meant that Byakuya-chan might not like it and...

[She shrugs a little]

Well, anyway, Ibuki still has a bunch of shards now she could use to make the memorial thingie.

[bulletofhope]

. . . honestly, Togami-kun doesn't really like a lot of things, so if he has a problem with it, then too bad for him.

[ Wow, Naegi. Such sass...! ]

How many do you have? I could chip in a hundred or so to help...

had to do a count to see how much she's up to now

[scary_music]

Hmm... almost a thousand, Ibuki thinks? You should keep yours for your keyboard! 100 should be enough for that!

same, I had to double-check with Naegi since I didn't recall offhand...

[bulletofhope]

Ah... that's a lot more than I do! I think I've got around 400 or so...?

[scary_music]

With our powers combined, we should have more than enough, Makoto-chan!

[Really Makoto on his own has enough, probably]

[bulletofhope]

Yeah, definitely!

We should probably work on that memorial idea right now, actually, while it's still fresh in our minds...

[ Yeah... ]

[scary_music]

Hmm... but this snow won't last forever, Makoto-chan! It'd be a shame to let it go to waste!

[bulletofhope]

. . . well, there's always tomorrow, right? One day won't hurt anything...

[ Plus, she has a point about the snow. ]

[scary_music]

...

[Ibuki couldn't help but pause at that line, reflecting on the second murder in the simulation. If they'd all gone to meet Mahiru...]

[Would she still have ended up at Bastion as she had? Or would, perhaps, either Peko or Mahiru have been spared by the Calamity alongside with her?]

[Anyway, this was a completely different situation. Nobody had a reason to want to kill Makoto, right? She shakes her head, trying to clear it of dark thoughts]

U-uhm, right, right, tomorrow! We have snow people to make!

[bulletofhope]

[ KILLING THE NAEGI WON'T HELP A DAMN THING, THOUGH. Just ask everyone who voted Naegi guilty at the end of Chapter 5. :|;

Either way, he nods quietly, a soft smile on his face - though he does catch her hesitation, he lets it alone for now, saving that for another time... ]

Yeah! There's a lot of them we need to make before the snow disappears, after all...

[scary_music]

Yup! So let's do our best, Makoto-chan!

[bulletofhope]

Yeah! This won't take too long, hopefully...!

[ And it's back to making all the snowmen ever for their classmates! ]
