[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?]

...
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. ]
...Hello, Ishimaru-senpai. I think some of the others responded to you...and surely someone else told you which people to look for? Or do you need the names...?
video;
[Okay, so she's with...Shaun, if he's remembering this correctly. This is a good thing, because out of the other SHSL Whatevers running around, he'd trust...maybe Naegi with the kid, but Nanami is one of the best non-Naegi options.
Assuming she's gotten the hang of this "eating and sleeping" business, anyway.]
I've been told about Hinata-kun in passing, and I've met Tsumiki-kun in person; I know about you, those two, Kuzuryuu-kun and...ah...
[...Gundam.]
...maybe you should just give me a list!
video;
Give her a second to think about it. ]
...Hinata-kun, Tsumiki-san, and Kuzuryuu-kun...then Tanaka-kun...and Souda-kun just arrived...and then Saionji-san, who's with me still. I'm not really sure of everyone else's locations...but I think all of them are in Goldenrod as well, unless Souda-kun didn't get picked up by anyone.
[ ...She...actually doesn't know if he was, look she's not the protagonist. ]
So you were just missing Souda-kun, I think, because you know Saionji-san.
video;
Should we send someone after Souda-kun, then? I haven't spoken to him.
video;
[ ...How to put this. ]
...right now, it's best if he and Saionji-san aren't in the same location.
[ Basically Nanami is travelling with their Celes and that limits who she can go and pick up because Souda and Saionji probably shouldn't be in the same place nor should Tsumiki and Saionji and basically it's more complicated than it was when it was just Nanami. ]

...I understand. We can keep them separated, if you think it would be best.
video; filtered; SDR2 spoilers
...They were arguing earlier, so they'd probably just start it up again. They're both a little...excitable. ...It's nothing to really worry about, they were just going so far as to use people against one another last time, which was outside of enough.
The rest of us pretty much agree it's better if they're just not in the same place for a little while. I think they'll probably calm down given time...
[ May...be. ]
video; filtered; SDR2 spoilers
That is kind of the exact thing they told people about why he doesn't talk to Celes, but this is Ishimaru so for now that...sounds...legit? Sorta?]
Well, if they're using people against each other that's definitely not good - are there people that shouldn't be mentioned around any of them?
video; filtered; SDR2 spoilers
[ How to put this... ]
...People who died who don't know they died...they were threatening to reveal that sort of thing. So neither of them should be allowed to fight to that level of using such a thing to cause problems...I think that's best.
[ Basically, they were both being jerks and Nanami is a little disapproving all around. ]
That's the kind of "using people" I mean...pulling in third parties to an argument that started over nothing isn't something I want to allow.
[ As to the mentioning... ]
Mm...the people closest to them aren't here, so...not really. Though probably don't bring up Tsumiki-san with Saionji-san...they're also not allowed to be in the same place unsupervised for now, I think. Except...maybe next month. If they can sit through a meal together...
video; filtered; SDR2 spoilers
Saionji-kun mentioned Tsumiki-kun to me, actually, along with Komaeda-kun as people she has a large amount of vitriol toward.
I'll do what I can to keep them away from each other, should we be in the same area, as I get along with Saionji-kun...reasonably well.
video; filtered; SDR2 spoilers
[ She's not sure what they're going to do if he comes here. Who would even pick him up? ]
That works, though...there's no need to worry about it too much, like I said. Souda-kun will listen to Kuzuryuu-kun and Hinata-kun, and Saionji-san...I'll keep her out of trouble if I can, too.
[ The only thing anyone has to worry about right now is Tsumiki remembering anything further, and they're all actively working against mentioning the future to her, more or less. ]
