They moved forward and my heart died

Who: Mondo Oowada ([personal profile] diamondo); Kiyotaka Ishimaru ([personal profile] ardent)
Where: Ecruteak City
When: Evening of 9/29
Summary: The Dangans are now two down, what with the recent disappearances of Fujisaki and Asahina; out of the two of them in Ecruteak City, one of them knows, the other doesn't. It's time to remedy that, apparently. Possible spoilers for Dangan Ronpa.
Rating: PG-13? I'll change it as is appropriate.
Log:


[It's been two days since Ishimaru had received the text from Naegi; he's spent as much of that time by himself as possible. It isn't that he doesn't want to speak to Mondo about it; it's more that he isn't entirely sure how, and if he's going to be entirely honest, part of him is hoping that through some miracle, it won't be necessary to say anything at all. Somewhere in the back of his mind he'd prepared for this as a possibility, and he's grateful for that bit of mental strength, at the very least; it's kept him more or less together, if a bit withdrawn. But just the same, he's thrown himself into work and studying and sitting by the device whenever he's alone in the hotel, checking and double-checking Fujisaki's number every so often as though to make sure that message (Gear ID Not Found) keeps coming back to him, as though making sure it's not a mistake of some sort, as though maybe if he does it enough, he'll see that he's transposed numbers somehow or he's hitting the wrong ID in the registry or maybe he can just will Fujisaki back into goddamn existence because it makes about as much sense as anything else does.

But in the end, no matter what people say about this world, this isn't a game or a story or one of those anime shows that Yamada loves so much; obviously, none of it works, and two days after he received the news about Fujisaki, Asahina's line goes silent as well.

He hasn't cried over it, which he supposes is a good thing; granted, he hasn't felt much about it at all, which is decidedly less of a good thing, but surely that's got to be better than the possible alternative, and he's not letting it get to him too badly at this point. Tonight he's studying, and waiting in the hotel room for Mondo to return; his Munna is currently camped out on the bed (poor thing doesn't sleep much, all things considered, and he can't say that he blames her), and he's got the Litwick out for company for the time being. He imagines Aiko will return when Mondo does.

He resists the urge to check the device again; it's going to be a long evening.]

Yeah. Yeah! We'll bring him back and everything'll be okay!!

[Well that certainly seems to have fired him up.]

We'll bring Asahina back too! And the others!

[Well, maybe not Enoshima, he's not sure what to do about her.]

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-09-30 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah!!

[Mondo reaches out to ruffle Ishimaru's hair. He's much calmer than he was initially and things seem to be sorting themselves out. He's still upset about losing Fujisaki and Asahina, but they have a plan. He can focus on that plan.]

I guess we should keep in closer contact with everyone to make sure this kinda thing doesn't happen to anyone else.

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-09-30 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, but I'll try to keep in closer contact with Hagakure and Leon, just in case.

[It'll at least feel like he's doing something...]

Yeah. What do you wanna do about her? I can try to keep in contact with her if you don't wanna deal with her.

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-09-30 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we seem to do alright together.

[And it's not because they're both murderers!!!]

Oh, really? Yeah, it'd be good to have everyone in one place again. We can always head up to Blackthorn later!

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-09-30 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, that's...! That's a really good point...!

[Mondo frowns, pondering that over for a bit. The hot springs will still be there after winter's over, so they can wait!]

I guess we'll just hang around in Goldenrod and train until it's warmer?

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-09-30 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's definitely true! We should probably get the badge in Azalea anyway.

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-09-30 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[...uh oh... Well, at least Ishimaru doesn't start screaming and asking to be hit. That's definitely improvement!!]

H-Hey, it's alright! I mean, I kinda forgot about it too, so it's not that big of a deal! I only remembered 'cause Naegi and them went down that way, so I figured there must be a badge down there!
diamondo: (✦ 03)

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-09-30 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Calm down, it's okay!

[He ruffles Ishimaru's hair again in an attempt to get his friend to chill out. He understands getting worked up, but over something like this? It seems a little much.]

We'll go get the badge and be back on track, don't worry about it!

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-09-30 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
That's good to hear! You were getting a little tense, so I was kinda worried.

[Good man! Mondo relaxes as well, though doesn't quit it with the hair-playing.]
diamondo: (✦ 12)

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-09-30 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, obviously! I don't like it when you beat yourself up over shit, 'specially not unimportant shit like this!

[...]

Well, I guess the badges are kinda important here, but not in the grand scheme of things, y'know?
diamondo: (✦ 10)

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-09-30 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[...Is that it...?]

Really? You'll work on it?

[WHAT THE HELL KYOUDAI]
diamondo: (✦ 12)

[personal profile] diamondo 2013-09-30 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
No, no! I'm glad you're working on it! It just... I dunno, it seems too easy? That you'll just work on it, just like that.

[He's not explaining it very well, is he?]

I just wasn't expecting it, that's all! It's nothing bad!
