It's All Fun And Games

[freshprints]

Who: The First-Game Dangans of route_29
Where: Around the Dining Room Table, the Dangan House, Goldenrod City
When: The Evening of Wednesday, December 11
Summary: It's not exactly a Class Trial (and everyone is probably thankful for that), but Nanami's arrival has prompted a slew of questions and surely there's no better way to resolve them than Dangan-style.
Rating: PG-13 because some people have filthy mouths. Also, FLAGRANT SPOILERS FOR SUPER DANGAN RONPA 2
Log:

[The Dangans have always had a habit of handling their business internally.

Or rather, Kirigiri has, at least — some might even argue that she's had a habit of handling her business too internally, to the point where she refuses to let anyone else in on it even when it might actually be entirely prudent and relevant to clue them in. And to some extent, that's what's happened here, too, as pertaining to the matter of one Nanami Chiaki, the Super High School Level Gamer. She's a problem no one had anticipated, a complication no one has accounted for — a schoolmate none of them remember, but through no fault of any memory shenanigans this time. And that's something worth talking about, so gathering up the assembled Dangans and orchestrating a round table (that thankfully ends up looking a lot more like their former breakfast meetings and a lot less like a Class Trial) to present their information all at once.

And since it's Kirigiri who prompted the meeting, that means it's her privilege (or burden) to start things off.]

On the eighth of this month, someone posted to the Gear Network claiming to be a student of Hope's Peak with the title "Super High School Level Gamer". How many of us have talked to her by now, and what did she tell you when she did?

[If that won't get the ball rolling, then nothing will.]





OOC Notes: Given the nature of the post, it seemed more sensible to put this up in the logs comm so that everybody could tag their characters into it and threadjack freely and so on — but considering everyone's just kind of sitting around a table talking, please don't feel bogged down by any sense of "necessity" to throw in action brackets into every tag just because this is a "log" post; by all means, sprinkle them in where you see fit, but this is designed to be a discussion-heavy log, not an action-heavy one. o/

[you know he wasn't expecting that to actually work]

...it likely says a lot about our situation when that sounds more credible than anything else right now - can anyone else verify that?

[freshprints]

If anyone can, it will most likely be Togami-kun, Hagakure-kun, or Naegi-kun.

[LOOK YOU WANTED HER TO BE FORTHCOMING SO THERE YOU GO. Asshole.]

[superordinary]

She didn't tell me about being an AI but she asked me to tell her a story about Fujisaki-kun and seemed eager to learn more about him. When I mentioned he created an AI during our murder game, she said "so that's when he started that."

[divinitea]

...please don't tell me you all actually believe something so ludicrous....

[ardent]

[...right. Disregard Celes-kun, acquire deets.]

Did she say who asked her to protect her friends?

[freshprints]

[GOOD THING, TOO, because Kirigiri was just gearing up to toss out a remark on how we should all try very hard to not get Ishimaru-kun murdered over this one, as well.]

The survivors of the school life of mutual killing. That's also the explanation for why she's unlikely to be forthcoming with information to those who don't survive.

[divinitea]

[It's a good thing that terrible Yamada-kun isn't here then! You should feel so much safer, Ishimaru-kun~!] 

How painfully counterproductive of her.

[ardent]

As is derailing the discussion, Celes-kun.

[freshprints]

It's probably understandable. Celes-san isn't likely to have anything of substance to contribute, since her name isn't among the list of survivors.

[diamondo]

[oooooh sick burn]

Look, can we quit insulting one another and actually talk about this shit? Did she say what exactly happened to her and her classmates?

[struck_out]

[Someone's gonna need the aloe.]

She wouldn't tell me what happened to her but when I told her Monobear ain't here to mess with her, she looked really glad.

[ardent]

[Yes, yes, we'll all get the Burn Heals out later, surely.]

But if Monobear was controlled by Enoshima, who is now dead...

[... :|a ]

Did she mention what this contingency plan was? There's a difference between it being some sort of programming - maybe AI of her own - and another person.

[divinitea]

Admittedly, death is probably preferable to your company, Kirigiri-san...

[........]

....perhaps Enoshima was not actually dead - if I'm going to be forced to entertain this nonsense. Did any of you actually see a body?

[freshprints]

No.

[...]

But only because, like in Celes-san's execution, there wasn't much left of a body to see.

[struck_out]

Pheeeeww, burn!!

[...and he doesn't even know how she died.]

[ardent]

Will both of you - how necessary was any of that?!

[diamondo]

[Mondo slams his hand down on the table. Kirigiri, there are some lines you just don't cross. Apparently you found one, congrats!]

This isn't getting us anywhere! Keep those fucking thoughts to yourself - you can fight all you want after we've figured out what the fuck we're gonna do about this girl!

[divinitea]

[You're really trying this, aren't you?] 

Now who is derailing the discussion? Bitterness is so terribly ugly, Kirigiri-san...I expected better of you.

[freshprints]

[YEAH HOW ABOUT FUCK YOU TOO. BUT JUST MOVING ON LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED...]

There's something about the way Nanami-san described it that's strange. She told me "that guy took over" — that corresponds with what she told Naegi-kun about things being calm on the island for awhile until Monobear showed up.

Whatever it was that was happening on the island, it sounds as though it was originally intended for a different purpose, and the contingency plan disrupted it.

[ardent]

Is there a way for that to even be possible, though? Unless Enoshima happened to be clairvoyant - by which I mean no offense by association to Hagakure-kun's profession!

[superordinary]

Nanami-san said their teacher wanted them to build bonds and gain hope... [ and we all know what Enoshima's thoughts on hope are. ] Maybe the island's original purpose was in the planning stages while Enoshima was still alive, and she heard about it?

[freshprints]

If that's the case, then the question we're really trying to answer is, "Where did a teacher and a class of Hope's Peak students come from", isn't it?

[ardent]

Was there ever confirmation of what happened to the headmaster or the rest of the school's faculty?

ICON KEYWORDS ISHIMARU

[freshprints]

...

That was confirmed at the final class trial.

[ardent]

[To his credit, he manages to bite back the urge to ask what happened; he's still not good at these things, but he's suspecting that this is seriously getting into "We can't just ask about that" territory - either because it's not something that should be discussed or it's not something that should be discussed publicly.

He'll likely ask her about it later, Ishimaru being whom he is, but for now...]

R-Right...and I'm assuming there were no signs of other students, either, at least not that we know of?
