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?]
motormouths: (What a pain pain pain)

[video] we always need spoiler warnings because of Souda's mouth

...You don't really beat around the bush or talk shop, huh?

[Hey, as long as it focuses on keeping Souda safe, those are awesome priorities.] I can respect that! [Goddamn it, why were you catatonic when he needed somebody as quick as you.] Yeah, they finally got me. I was about to start offerin' me buildin' people robots as some kinda reward!

...But, a hotel really beats that lab. [He pretty much staked one of the beds for himself, too, so there's that. Not as comfy as the one he woke up in or in his cabin, but can beggars be choosers?] And, Nanami... What all'd she even say?

Oh. But...you're all from the same world, right? So wouldn't you...I dunno, want to at least get to know them a little bit?

[John, you sweet summer child...]

I mean...you might be surprised! I didn't want anything to do with the trolls at first because they were a bunch of grade-a dickbags to me and my friends. But once I actually got to know them, a lot of them weren't so bad! Hell, Aradia and Karkat are some of my best friends now.

[Well, if that's only what she said, maybe Souda can work through this communication issue.]

...It's not just me, nobody should be allowed around her! She's the absolute worst! [The you know what? There is no you know what, only you know who!] It's like...all the meanness in the world just got trapped in her somehow! Like nothing is off limits to who'll she make fun of, even princesses!

[Maybe if she'd gotten some character development Kuzuryuu had, but there can be only one.]

Yeah.

[That's exactly why she might be paying a visit, Ishimaru please.]

Where are you right now?

[Blake concentrates, trying to hear it as it is.] EeshaMAroo?

[The sound at the end is especially weird. It's like something that's heard of the concept of an R but hasn't quite committed.] Esshymaloo?

Big Bro Ishimaru! You're awake! [...She's been distracted, okay. She thought you were like, poisoned or drugged or something.]

Why are you talking about people being sent home, though?
impheired: then we'll see how good of a firefighter he is. (smirk ♚ i'll set him on fire for you.)

[She really, really does.]

[You will soon learn Ishimaru: everyone is a fucker. If they aren't a fucker, they're a shithead or possibly a dumbass or maybe even a goddamn fucking moron. There are really only two and a half exceptions to this.]


Funny to hear that from a hall monitor, of all things. But alright, I'd say we're all about wrapped up here. Later.

[Well this sure was a conversation.]

[Blake squints at it.] E-shy-maroo?

[Blake that is worse.]
motormouths: (I'm not even making jokes anymore)

[video] I feel like I should say this is ANOTHER SPOILER

[personal profile] motormouths 2014-02-14 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Sheesh, Ishimaru, give the guy a break.]

Hey, look, it ain't like I was suggestin' we tie her up and... [Souda's expression drops. That was supposed to be a comparison to someone else--] ...keep her away from everybody...

[...Save it, save it! Unintentional mishaps aside, it's not as if he wished any harm on her!]

...Agh, ya don't know what it's like havin' to stand up for somebody who ain't even there! Sonia-san, I had to defend her honor! [Actually, it's a really good thing that Sonia didn't see what Souda pulled.] Saionji, she's not dangerous dangerous, she's just a really mean bully, and I don't wanna be within two miles of her. Ever. [She called him a background character, okay. SHE STARTED ALL THIS.]

[You'd think Blake would get mad at a kid for laughing at him, but somehow, that's real far from his mind.

After prompting a few repetitions out of him, he tries it one part at a time.]
Ish. I. Mar. Oo.
soundmind: (too much of something is bad enough)

Well, if I'm going to be going to Olivine, I'll be wanting to pay a visit to my friends while I'm back in Johto. If that's okay!

[Also she might have been making sure that he's not going anywhere near Olivine himself.]
