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?]

Suppose I should introduce myself before I poke around so much. [He gives his own little bow, arm crossing across his chest.] Joker, pleasure ta meet ya.

[...Oh. Oh, hold on.]
You're not familiar with honorifics, right?
no subject
[And this certainly sounds like a foreigner kind of thing.]
no subject
[...That is actually something, from the look of it.]
Well, it's good to find someone who knows what England is - there are a surprising amount here who don't!
no subject
Care ta get a bite ta eat while explainin' this honorific stuff? Might help wipe that look off yer face too.
[Joker's always in the mood for company, besides. It explains the small zoo traveling around with him, and the Mime Jr. cheerily waving at Ishimaru in encouragement.]
no subject
...I wouldn't mind, no.
[He'll just be sure to avoid butter like the plague. But let's go then, shall we?]
What girl was it that you met? Did you get her name?
no subject
Yeah, she introduced herself after she hit me in the face with a broom. [Fun times.] Saionji Hiyoko is what she introduced herself as.
no subject
Ah, Saionji-kun...hitting you was rude and she should probably be talked to about that, but somehow I'm not surprised. She...
[ ... :|a ]
...Well, I think she means well, anyway.
no subject
Yeah? Figured she was a holy terror myself. Still, been havin' some fun conversations with her.
So ya use "kun" for a girl like her, huh?
no subject
Most people don't - I think most people would use "-san" for her, and maybe her friends would use "-chan" if she decided she liked that, but since she's kind of sensitive about being so small she might not. But since she's a girl, most people would call her Saionji-san. "-Kun" is usually for boys.
But I have a position of authority, as far as my school went; I'm supposed to keep order and look out for everyone, and I'm supposed to be more respected than liked. It's fine if they like me too, even if most don't, but the respect angle is more important. Because I have that position, I address people as would be appropriate. People who are below me, authority-wise, all get "-kun" as an honorific - so that's most people around my age, and people who are younger than me.
And Saionji-kun and I sort of went to school together anyway, so that's why I call her that.
no subject
So "-san" for just general respect, then, "-kun" for boys or younger folks, and "-chan" just ta be cute. That it?
no subject
I don't use that last one very much; I think Kagura-chan is the only one I call that. She's my friend's Zorua.
no subject
How do ya feel about fish?
no subject
[He doesn't mind, at least.]
And I...ah, I'm normally vegetarian, actually, but I don't...mind, I suppose.
no subject
[He starts to pay a bit more attention to where he's going now, looking around to recognize landmarks.]
So hall monitor who likes his greens, from Japan, and seems ta care about other people. Seem like an interestin' guy.
no subject
And what about you? What is it you do, exactly?
[When you're not tending to the menagerie, that is.]
no subject
[Joker gives a bright grin, and his Mime Jr. does the same. Peas in a pod, these two.]
Can't ya tell? I'm a ringleader~! 'Course, I still need ta set up somethin' for here, but I think I'll manage soon enough.
