[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.))

[It's not your fault, Rude. It's really not.]

A-ah...

[Well at least she didn't apologize again, but she stands there and fidgets awkwardly instead like she feels she needs to say something, but just doesn't know what that something is.

She isn't very good at conversation.]

[strongestoftheturks]

[Neither is he. Rude defaults back to his normal MO when it comes to holding conversations: formal, professional and to the point. He's dealt with people who have been kidnapped or placed in difficult situations, and he's usually able to get them to talk. Usually.]

Do you have anyone you know here, other than your friend?

And don't apologize if you don't.

[puppetnurse]

A-ah, yes! H-Hinata-san is here. And a-a few others from our class..

[Which she was honestly very grateful for...]

[strongestoftheturks]

Good. There's a lot to explain about this place. I'll leave it to them.

Quite a few students here as well. You'll be fine.

[puppetnurse]

I-is there? M-maybe I can just learn by myself...I wouldn't want to inconvenience them...

[And if there's a lot to learn, then that means there's a lot of time they would be wasting on her...]

Oh! A-are you a student too then?

[strongestoftheturks]

[ Suit herself then.]

No.

[ Funny how both her and her friend seemed to assume that the world is populates by students.]

[puppetnurse]

[Well you don't really help your case, Rude, when you seem to know who she's talking about without knowing who she is. Gosh mister.]

A-ah, I'm sorry for assuming!

[strongestoftheturks]

[He's in touch with a few Dangan kids, and it's not like their the only teens/adults stuck in teen bodies running around Kanto/Johto. Probably half the population are or student age. But Mikan and Kuzuryuu could be from any school, so he hasn't seen the connection with Hope's Peak just yet.]

Also, this apologizing. It's...really starting to irritate him.]

It's fine. If I were mad, I'd tell you.

[And after he sends that text, he quickly adds:]

And I'm not.
