[Hello Network, are you having a peaceful day? Nice and quiet? Good, because this kid is about to ruin it. Half-pint here apparently doesn’t know the meaning of the word "inside voice."]

[Even if he is technically outside, but semantics. He’s still yelling far too loudly for that to not be disturbing somebody.]

Hey, Hinata! Or any of you other fuckwits, what the hell happened!? Where are you??

[What do you mean there are other people who can access this network?]

I think that Naegi bastard might have lied to us. Tch, and here I thought we'd have nothing to worry about with a face that harmless looking. We need to regroup and figure out what went wrong with--

[Just as Kuzuryuu is about to unload some real SHSL spoilers, he cuts off, paling slightly due to a small, nervous voice piping up from somewhere off screen. His head spins around so fast it’s a wonder he didn’t break his own neck.]

U-um. [Now that she’s approaching her friend, the girl is clearly unsure if this was what she wanted to do. He didn't seem very happy about their circumstances - though who could blame him, really?] Wh-who are you talking to? Is Hinata-san there? [Yeah, guess who hasn’t really done diddly squat with her gear.]

Sh-shit!! Tsumiki!?

[The feed ends abruptly, with the shorter boy only looking all the more like he's seen a ghost.]

((ooc: Responses will come from Kuzuryuu or Mikan, probably both. Also a warning for spoiler in castmate threads because there’s just no way those aren’t going to pop up.))

you are

[Wow. What a shocker. Tsumiki is crying.]

[Kuzuryuu would probably be more disposed to feeling slightly bad about that were he not convinced that she's trying to play him like a fiddle again. Because there's no way that she just happened to forget all her SHSL Despair memories.]

[For the next couple of minutes, however, Tsumiki at least doesn't have to deal with his yelling being directed at her. Kirigiri and Nanami get to deal with that instead. But hey, at least he starts calming down somewhat. Finally, he turns his attention back to Tsumiki.]

What's the last thing you remember before you woke up here?

[It's sharp, but at least at a normal volume.]

And don't you dare think about lying to me!

[puppetnurse]

[Tsumiki'd done her best to stay as quiet as possible, even when she was replying to others. She'd managed to somewhat calm down even, until he barked at her. At which point she jumps, nearly dropping her gear.]

I-I would n-never lie to you, Kuzuryuu-san! And well...

[What she remembers...]

Th-the l-last thing I remember w-was...f-finding you in the hospital...

[After. The whole execution. Which she is going to conveniently omit.]

[impheired]

[Never lie to him, THAT'S A GOOD ONE, TSUMIKI. HAHA. FUNNY.]

Tch.

[Yeah, she doesn't have to say it, and it's probably a good thing that she didn't. He knows exactly what she means.]

So the words "Despair Fever" don't mean anything to you?

[puppetnurse]

[BUT IT'S TRUE!

She shakes her head, looking down at the ground before back up at him.]

Sh-should I? I'm sorry that I don't! I-I can try and remember!

[impheired]

[Kuzuryuu seems to visibly relax. If Nanami was indeed telling the truth about this whole timeline thing (which why would she lie about that), then it would seem they got lucky as far as Tsumiki is concerned. She hasn't regained her memories yet.]

No, don't. It's fine. If I find out you're lying to me though, nobody will even look for your body let alone find it!

[Somebody really needs to tell him that death doesn't work here. Not that that will stop the threats.]

[puppetnurse]

[She shrinks back, shaking her head vigorously.]

I-I'm not! I swear I'm not! I-I'm sorry!!

[Kuzuryuu what do you want from her? Though apparently her Audino has had enough of you, mister, because guess who is stalking right up to you and giving your leg a good smack.

This Pokemon's got balls.]

[impheired]

[Did he just get smacked in the leg by an adorable pink fat thing?]

[He did. Didn't he?]

[...he totally did. Are you shitting him right now?]

[Surprisingly though, this doesn't set him off again. Instead he just kind of laughs at the absurdity of it.]

This place is full of surprises. Alright, Tsumiki, we'll move on for now but don't think I won't be watching you. [Gotta get one last threat in there before we move on to new topic.]

But for now, let's see what information we can find before making our next move. I get the feeling we might be stuck here for a while and it's better to be prepared as we can be.
