[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?]

[John...just because he's safe doesn't mean he's not in an unpleasant situation. Boy, please...]
I was kinda worried. It's not really like you to be so...out of it. [Is that the right word for it? Perhaps not but it's the one he's using.] I kinda felt like i was talking to a Robo-Ishimaru or something. [He smiles.]
So on top of things being better for you personally, more of your classmates are here too?
video;
[...]
I think.
[...Ishimaru, honey.]
They were in the class before mine; I don't remember them very well, unfortunately.
video;
[Maybe??? Only no, probably not.]
video;
Well, if they want that then I don't see why not. I'm just not sure if any of us want that.
video;
[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.
video;
I'm not saying we're going to avoid it! It's just that being from the same world doesn't mean that we're going to want to be friends or anything - we don't know them any better than we know anyone else, even those from different worlds. So I don't see why we should want to get to know them any more than we would any other set of strange people.
video;
Oh. Well I...guess that's true.
[It's probably pretty obvious that John has the opposite opinion. He's one of those weird same-world solidarity people. Though...then again, since he's willing to befriend just about anybody from any world, this is probably a moot point.]
Actually, now that I think about it. I met one of them already. The gamer, Nanami. She seemed pretty nice. But then again, most of you seem pretty nice so that's not all that surprising.
video;
Do you think so...? That most of us seem nice, I mean.
[I mean we're all sort of wrecks here, John-kun.]
video;
Well, yeah.
[Granted, he hasn't met Saionji or Togami yet, nor has he had a super in depth conversation with Celes.]
I wouldn't have said it if I didn't think that. [He shrugs.] More importantly, I wouldn't bother to keep talking to any of you if I didn't think you were nice.
[He's...kind of lost some of his patience for people who AREN'T nice at this point. So he just avoids them because what's the point in talking to someone like that??]
Why? Are you trying to claim you're a jerk or something? Because I'm just not seeing it if you are. Maybe I need to get my prescription checked again. He readjusts his glasses with a chuckle.]
