ardent: (And turning all against one)
Kiyotaka Ishimaru (石丸 清多夏) ([personal profile] ardent) wrote2014-02-04 03:08 pm

011. [Video/Action for Goldenrod City]

[Well, it's been a while since Ishimaru's actually been around via video; he's had a rough go of it over the last few weeks and it shows - he looks incredibly tired and he still doesn't seem to have been eating very much, and he's still looking a little dead behind the eyes compared to the usual intensity.

But for the most part he looks reasonably put-together, and he's outside, and even if it's more than a bit overcast and admittedly cold as balls he doesn't seem to mind the cold; this may have something to do with the fact that he appears to have ditched the school uniform for today in favor of a rather thick black coat, and he's got a different scarf on than the usual red one he wears - this one isn't quite as long, but it's patterned after Ho-Oh's plumage. Something he got for Christmas, really; it's about time he wore it out somewhere. And he's...certainly somewhere; it looks like one of those parks near the Center.

His gaze flicks awkwardly to the side before he speaks; it takes him a moment to find words, but when he does he tries to keep them coming, and keep them steady, and dear god it's been a while since he's been this shouty at the network in general but it's clear that whatever he's been doing, it certainly hasn't been figuring out what an acceptable level of volume is.]


There...there have been a lot of people who have come up missing lately, I think, and there have been a lot of new arrivals as well! For those who are missing someone - friends of those sent home - I...I understand that it's often difficult to move past it, and that it's a lot to take in at once! For some of us, it's better that they're sent home because maybe they have important things to do or other people to take care of; for some it...it isn't, and that can make losing people hard, when you know that whatever they're going through is going to be bad for them...

[He trails off a bit; his eyes scan upward for a moment while he tries to gather his thoughts, though he seems to shake it off soon enough.]

But...please don't worry. If you want to discuss it, even if I don't know you, we can - you don't even have to give me your name or anything, if you don't want to! It can be over text if you'd like...

[...deep breaths, Ishimaru, you are fine.]

And for those who have just arrived - well, that's also a lot to take in at once, but for different reasons! I've been here for about ten months now, and I'm still getting used to how things are done. It's a learning process, but you'll get through it!

My name is Ishimaru Kiyotaka; I'm the Super High School Level Hall Monitor, from Hope's Peak Academy's 78th annual class. If that didn't mean anything to you, that's fine, but I think there are a lot of new arrivals for whom that does mean something - if I haven't spoken to you yet, please get in contact with me so I can do so.

[...Right. Right, um. Um. Um.

Almost done here. Almost.]


...Otherwise, everyone just try to keep your heads up and your gazes trained toward the horizon! I hope that today is a good and productive day for all of you, and if not, that tomorrow will be better - we all just have to remain strong, and not lose hope.

[End feed.

Ishimaru can still be found outside for a while after that's over, however; he still seems more than a bit aimless and like he's not entirely sure what he's even doing out there, and he seems to be zoning out quite a bit when he's not directly engaged in conversation or otherwise doing anything. But hey, "outside staring off into space" has to be at least vaguely better than "in the basement and staring off into space", right?]

[She hadn't meant to eavesdrop but...well. His message was on the gear too, so was it truly eavesdropping? She'd been on her way back from the Center when she came across him, and she quietly listened to the full message before approaching him.]

...e-excuse me...Ishimaru-san. You're from Hope's Peak...?

Ishimaru!

[Shaun's happy to see you on the network HE'S BEEN MEANING TO CALL AND CHECK ON YOU after Nanami kind of dragged him out of Dangan House, but he's 12 and 12-year-olds are not necessarily the best at following up on their good intentions.

So instead he's just really relieved to see that you're doing better. He's wearing the scarf that Ishimaru gave him for Christmas, and he actually has a Misdreavus floating behind him on the screen.]


I missed you, are you doing okay?

[Because now that the initial relief has subsided, he...knows that look. He may have been sheltered from what happened to his friends, but he knows his fair share about people waking up from comas emotionally changed.]

[Totally disregarding the entire first half of that message. Kuzuryuu may not have been here long enough to have anybody leave but that doesn't mean he's not missing somebody right now.]

[Let's just focus on the second half. Like basically everyone else from the 78th class, Kuzuryuu really isn't sure how to deal with Ishimaru but hey, the guy more or less called him out, albeit indirectly. May as well at least say hi, even if he can't help but feel a strange awkwardness about it.]


Kuzuryuu Fuyuhiko, Super High School Level Gangster.

[Okay uh...uhhhhhhh...]

[UHHHHHHH.....]


What did you want?

[Because surely you wanted something other than his name. But if you're trying t pull a Kirigiri here, Izhimaru, you have another thing coming because these lips are sealed!]

Well that's rather kind of ya.

[Joker's arrived in Goldenrod just a few days ago himself, and exploring the city has taken up a lot of time while he's been getting himself ready to go up against Whitney. It's pure chance that he happens to be passing by Ishimaru when he decides to finish up with his post to the network.]

[He adjusts his scarf a little, a thick knitted yellow thing. Clustered around him are some hooved friends- a demure looking Rapidash with a quiet Blitzle who has a much nosier sibling shoving his head between Joker's arms. A Mime Jr. is peering over at Ishimaru from around the Rapidash.]

[John's glad to see that his choice in gifts was not wrong with Ishimaru. He hadn't exactly been worried that the other boy would dislike it, he's typically pretty good at picking out gifts (if he does say so himself). But it does give him the warm fuzzies to see him wearing it, all the same.]

It's actually been a while since I've lost anybody! We kind of seem to be on the other side of things now. Our friends who have been gone for a while are starting to trickle back in, slowly but surely. So I'm really glad for that and I hope the trend continues.

[They have full kid bingo. This has literally never happened in all of John's stay here.]

Sounds like you're doing a little better now though!

[The last time Blake talked to Isshymaroo, the kid was a wreck. He didn't have to see him to know the look: blank face, barely talking, like the kind of witness who you have to ask the same question over and over until they notice somebody on this planet is talking to them.

It's strange to hear him as loud as he's supposed to be when Blake can still picture that flat text on his phone's screen: how do you stop hating yourself

He hadn't gone and tried to track him down afterward. Last thing anybody going through hell needed was some old cop getting on their ass and pretending like they had all the answers. And maybe it was the cowardice that came from still not having a good answer.

It's a hell of a relief to see the kid's face. His eyes are red in the raw, tired way on top of the red they usually are, but he almost sounds like himself.

Blake is sitting in front of a fireplace, wearing the ugliest Christmas sweater known to mankind, because when it drops below 0 with no warning you wear what you fucking have, and idly scratching the ear of the sleeping Snubbull draped over his lap.]


Hey Isshymaroo.

[So guess who's popping up from behind Ishimaru this afternoon, and exactly no one was surprised. What's also perhaps unsurprising is that she's wearing her Christmas scarves to help guard against the cold, so there's a big lovely pile of red and green fabric clustered around her neck and the lower half of her face — the only real spot of color amid her black outfit, black boots, and blonde hair.]

Hey, Ishimaru, guess what. I adopted an invisi-lizard.

[ Oh, it's Ishimaru. And he's asking to speak to her classmates...

...

He really had no idea what he was getting into there, did he. Nanami scans the responses and spots only Kuzuryuu and Tanaka.

...Okay, those are...well, they are themselves and hopefully nothing will explode. She's not going to pry into the conversations beyond the quick glance of "who responded and what were their immediate responses". For those two, the responses were pretty much as expected. ]
