[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.))

[Wow, excuse you, babyface.]

I appreciate the confirmation that you're Nanami-san's classmates.

[...The real Jabberwock Island? Original memories intact?

...

HMMMMM.

This is a mystery and let's be real, it doesn't take the SHSL Detective to figure out the logical conclusion that can be drawn from the nonsense he's talking, especially given what she knows about Nanami.]

Do you really think shouting will get you an explanation any faster?

[What did you call him? U wanna go? Let's go.]

Maybe not, but it sure makes me feel better about all this!! Start talking, Kirigiri!

[You guys really should have let Hinata talk to him first...]

[Always let the protags handle it first, good grief.]

Did I tell you that you were supposed to wake up from a virtual reality simulation? And that's where you expected to be just now, but clearly this isn't it.

[Time for a well-educated shot in the dark, whoop.]

Good guess!

[That was sarcasm if you couldn't tell, he's still mad as hell about all this.]

Now give me the why. I want to know why you and your little boyfriend lied to us!

[Kuzuryuu, you have no right to call anybody "little".] Because this sure as shit isn't what we were told was going to happen after we ran the forced shut down!

[...Well, if nothing else it's nice to know that her fledgling relationship with Naegi apparently persists and survives into what she can only presume is the future.

Also there's this asshole.]

I would assume that's because this isn't the outcome we had planned, either. Bringing you here had nothing to do with us; that's something independent of our own power.

[You two were macking so hard in that last trial, are you kidding? This asshole knows what's up.]

[No, not really he's just trying to be...suitably derogatory or something, who knows. He is just Angry and Saying Things.]

[But okay so time warp here, Nanami finally decided to explain shit about halfway through the conversation instead of babbling about starters. He should probably apologize, but this is Kuzuryuu we're talking about so that's not going to happen.]

Nanami didn't explain things as quickly as she should have. Just started babbling about starters and video games instead of sharing things that matter.

[That's...as good as you're getting, apparently. Totally an apology.]

So you really don't remember any of that mess with the New World Program?

[Also they have those matching outfits. Isn't that something couples do?

Anyway. As tempting as it is to just start fucking with this guy, he does seem to be a loudmouth. And loudmouths are usually good for coughing up deets without realizing that they're coughing up deets.

Go go gadget interrogation, then.]

No. Did I explain to you what it was for, the last time you remember talking to me?

Not you, no. You just showed up as the cavalry at the last minute. You and the real Togami.

[Unfortunately, once he's calmed down Kuzuryuu is much less the type to let deets slip. And now that he knows what's actually going on...well like hell is he going to cough them up. Especially since Kirigiri apparently remembers exactly jack shit.]

[Gently caress it.]

So it was Naegi-kun who did it. No wonder you were so angry with him when you first arrived; he was the likely one to hold accountable, since he'd been the one to deliver the explanation.

[Sorry, detective princess. But the one you want is Souda.]

[Souda will probably tell you everything with little prodding on your part.]

No shit. What else was I supposed to think?

So you really don't remember any of the stuff that went down with my classmates at all? You're not just fucking with me here, are you?

Is that really so hard to believe? It's implausible, certainly, that circumstances like that could even occur in the first place, but once you've accepted the possibility of people being brought to a place from different points along a timeline as true, it's hardly an unusual state of affairs.

It's stupid as hell, but then again, so is the idea of being brought to a different world. [He gestures vaguely at the scenery.] And that's obviously true, unless we're all just in some other fucked up virtual reality simulation.

I just had to be sure you weren't lying to me about how much you know.

If that's the case, I'll tell you what I know in exchange for the answer to one fact that I haven't been able to find for myself. From what you've said, I presume it's something you'd know yourself.

[Oh cool, there's a way to lock things on here? Good to know.]

...ask your question first. I can't promise that I'll answer it. There are a few things I need to talk to our dumbass leader about first.

[So basically...maybe. Depends on the question.]

Surely that's something you can understand.

Of course. That's entirely understandable.

[She's just full of surprises, isn't she.]

I assume you'll understand what I mean when I say that incident; the question I'd like answered is simply, how did you and your classmates survive it?

I haven't a clue what incident you're talking about.

[Lies.]

That plush toy took away two or three years worth of our memories, all of our time at Hope's Peak. Which would be when this incident of yours happened, right?

[Since, you know, he would have heard about it before he enrolled if it was bad enough to warrant italics.]

Sorry, but I can't answer that.

[And more lies. But hey, he's yakuza so can you really say you're surprised by this?]

[Honestly, not really. But there's something to be learned even in reluctance, isn't there?]

So that's how it is. I understand.

[Gdi, Kirigiri. It's been like five minutes and he's already not overly fond of you. Maybe it's a natural part of being on different sides of the cops and robbers equation.]

Good. Though I guess this means the chances of you explaining what that incident is are slim.

If you haven't a clue about it, then it's probably not that important anyway, is it?

Heh. Can't say I didn't expect that answer, you seem the type who likes to play their cards close to their chest.

I can respect that.

[See he's really not so intolerable once he calms down and stops yelling about everything.]

There's another fact I could find for myself, but this way is more efficient, if nothing else:

Your name and talent? I'm sure you already know mine.

I think just my name will answer both questions. It's Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu.

[You seem like a smart cookie, Kirigiri, tell him what his talent is.]

[It's not like it'd take her long.]

That's interesting. I'd never seen a picture of the Kuzuryuu family's scion before.

[Whether or not that implies she's seen other shit of his family's...well. Who can say.]

Well now I've done you one better, haven't I?

[Yes. It is so much more preferable to deal with him more or less face-to-face than it is to see a picture of him.]

[And it's not like he figures she hasn't. She is a somewhat famous detective, after all. He might have even heard her name once or twice before he actually met her. Kind of natural when you're from a family of organized crime.]

I wouldn't recommend attempting to carry on the family business here. Though it might be interesting to see how you fare against our own gang leader.
