Is that how that works...

( equivalent exchange, a life for a life... it makes sense, it makes pennies. akira's a mysterious one in this batch of people, his skills are quite vast... from sewing to making zombies.

probably a bad time to say you could have killed me!!! he keeps that to himself, though. )

That was rather hopeful of you, that's why I'm willing to think differently.

( like it's a second chance, but the untalented can make hope, and by akira's efforts... think of all that he made from it! now rokkun's hope is stronger mentally, as for physically... sighs. )

The person in the science room, were they your kill... or was that a new one you were creating?

( komaeda slips his hands into his pockets, smiling as he looks towards the birds... you know birds actually come to him? want a bird to a bird up close akira? )

[ Killing Komaeda was never an option, imagine if that happened and Rokkun finds out, he would snap

Akira doesn't want any birds, please, he wants nothing to do with this conversation and is visibly struggling between "just do it, save yourself and walk away" and "but it'd be rude" and social niceties wins in the end. ]

I didn't kill him! I wouldn't. That's the opposite of what I'm trying to do.

[ He wishes the bird will go away, it's ruining the mood ]

( crosses the theory that rokkun's a time jumper off everyone's list so that he can have the construction. )

I'm aware, and that's because you won't give up on hope.

( so it's like not giving up on komaeda.

the brown and silver fox that were there probably doesn't mean much to rokkun, especially when they found him after. then again. if that was his memory, everything that they went through... there has to be something related to him right? he doesn't like to draw animals, sure, why is his tulpa so complex and insane, who made him like this. )

Depends on what it is, what do you need?

( he cants his head to the side, leaning forward so that he can look at the base of his grid. they'll be foxes on that soon enough. )

( akira has so much hanging on his shoulders, like komaeda's life which holds rokkun's sanity, which depends whether the entire school isn't massacred or not.

is he afraid of birds, is this some akira lore. now komaeda wishes he had some bread to feed it because it's not that close to them, but it's minding it's business so the bird has that going for it. )

It's been awhile, so asking where the body is would mean nothing... so tell me, what are you trying to do?

( he thinks, wondering if it's like everyone else. ) Are you behind every golden eyed creature here?

( natsume's exempt. )

[ I hope Komaeda likes lines, because that's all Rokkun's going to draw for the next two hours. Tilt his ruler, draw a line, shift and tilt the ruler, draw another line.

It's actually kind of nice, being able to turn his brain off and not look at Komaeda. ]

...Be with me on new year's eve.

[ He's not scared of birds, it just makes him think about discussing death around a Disney princess and that's just not right. ]

...Sorry, but that's a private affair.

[ and can't he at least say "people"? unless-- ]

I have nothing to do with the cat, if that's what you're wondering.

[ Because it makes more sense that Komaeda is grilling him over that white cat of his, than out of concern for other people. ]

( they have a whole lot to talk about so two hours of lines might be worth it, because he'll watch, and not know a damn thing aside from the grid. he's never actually sat down and watched him do this, nor has he seen him place """soccer""", and so he's quiet at first until he hears the other's request? )

That's in about three months... ( he blinks, a little confused, well it would make since when that's their frienniversary. he doesn't know what fox buildings has to do with that, but... ) What should I bring? A card game sounds exciting...

( and maybe a few friends, isn't that how people spend their new years? everyone likes uno, he's already making a mental list as the other draws. )

( the bird hops to the left, biting at some grass, and hops further away. )

Private between us, because we shared the experience. Like now, we can be our own affair...

( no, he calls them all creatures with yellow eyes, they aren't people, but the cat is a plus... is there something wrong with the cat as to why he says that? )

What lives are you taking to turn them into those things... the ones that Ishimaru-kun fought to showcase his hope?

( he doesn't want to point fingers, but it sounds like both him and maya are working together, which wouldn't be bad in komaeda's eyes... considering... )

Yeah? Bring whatever you want.

[ He sounds a little distracted, but that's just what happens when you try to talk to somebody whose mind is elsewhere. A promise three months away means Komaeda has to live that long, and if he sounds excited and looking forward to it, that's even better. ]

[ The cat's fine. Don't worry about it. There's nothing wrong with the cat, unlike the thought of having an affair with Komaeda that Akira just sort of visibly takes a step back from. ]

I said I didn't...

[ ugh, that gladiator match made his stomach turn, and the thought of it does the same now. ]

I'm not going to talk about this anymore, Komaeda-san. I can't.

I could bring a few people along so there's someone to play with...

( the people that rokkun tends to exchange conversation with, anyone that he likes... he knows the people he were with would probably come too. he can be distracted, that's fine, it's not like komaeda really sees him like that at all. instead, he'll reach out for the potpourri to open it, allowing the aroma to waft within the room. )

Do you have things in mind you want to do then if it happens? ( might as well ask him since he brought it up, but all of this for a fox building...? it doesn't add up, actually. ) ...Maybe it'll snow.

[ He goes "mmhmm" without knowing what he's "mmhmm"ing to, but it's fine, because it's not as if Rokkun has any obvious friends that would make the guest list. There's kohai he's surface friendly with, there's Akira who's nervous around him, there's... ... Komaeda. That's it.

Either way, the scent from the potpourri catches his attention and distracts him from the mental math he has to do for measurements, and he looks back up, trying to drag whatever Komaeda said last out of his short term memory. ]

Snow...? Maybe. I don't really care what we do. I just want you there when the new year turns.

Then explain, Fujioka-kun. If that's not what you did...

( komaeda's voice is low, and it's not every day he cares about human lives, but there were a few in that batch that made him curious. that made him wonder why them. )

Even after exposing your talent to me and Amami-kun... I haven't spoken a word of it.

( his hands remain in his pocket as he looks away from the other, but that was komaeda's request at the time... because it was his fault any of that happened. he could change his mind, people would love to know about what akira can do, what role he plays here, and why he can do it. )

...I want to understand, and I can only do that by asking you directly.

[ He looks away, quiet, heart hammering because he does remember when he did what he did in front of two relative strangers, how he didn't think about it at the time but agonized over it for so long after. It's a thinly veiled threat, but it is still a threat, and he does recognize it as such, but...

He breathes a sigh, and mumbles, as if to himself. ]

You don't always get what you want in life.

( amami-kun, hinata-kun, sakasaki-kun, adams-san, some other people... fujioka-kun, maybe chiaki's gorinto. )

Rushing the time, I only have so much of it, as you know. ( rokkun knows that he's sickly, aware of what problems he has from his cancer to his dementia... he doesn't expect his life to be that long, but if he finds it nice to talk about... then they can talk about it. the new year, komaeda doesn't really talk about it, and he knows that on new years day is... hinata's birthday. how to work with that... )

Did you know smelling this means... you have to enjoy it for a hundred years? ...I like it.

( because maybe he too will be able to live that long, enjoy it for the respective time, and how he's exposed two people to it. a very important thing to komaeda. )

Fujioka-kun?

( going to ignore him being weird, komaeda doesn't have time for it. )

I understand the things you're capable of, what you're able to do... so it's fine to admit.

( he just wants to put two and two together, why he's able to do what he does, and why is it so common in this school. especially those with gold eyes, and don't think komaeda's letting them go!! he isn't. )

It's just us, anyway, and... Nanami-san.

[ If Amami comes Rokkun's going to shove him off a cliff, please,
Hinata is fine, though. Hinata can live and that'll be Rokkun's birthday present to him. ]

It's nice. Did Natsume make it for you?

[ It doesn't mean he has to talk about it, pressing his lips together in uncharacteristic stubborn defiance that immediately shatters with the mention of Nanami's name. ]

Nanami-san? What do you mean?

( THEY WON'T BE NEAR A CLIFF?!?!?!?!? where the fuck is rokkun taking them on new year's eve hello? komaeda isn't going hiking, i'm telling you that!! )

No, it's something from back home... I lived on an island for awhile, and this one is called Century Potpourri...

( it smells nice, especially as he shakes the bad mid conversation. )

You must hate it, but that's fine... it'll do its job.

( he sighs, looking off to the side a little dejected, as if he was hoping for more when it came to this gift. rokkun's too much of a jock, sure, komaeda shouldn't have asked for so much when it comes to him. ) ...Where should we meet at on New Year's Eve? Your cabin?

...

( komaeda hates that, actually, but his own lips purse into a straight line. he was always around her, so in a way, maybe he appreciates her as much as she should be appreciated in being an ultimate. everything else, is well... )

Focus, Fujioka-kun... What are you doing to the missing students?

[ Rokkun kidnaps Amami specifically to a cliff so he can shove him off and make it back before midnight ]

I don't hate it! It's nice— I just wasn't sure what I'd do with it. If I go around smelling nice, that would draw attention. [ and he loathes being looked at, especially in a crowd

also, ngl, me playing out scenarios in my head went like
Rokkun: says "thank you", reaches out to take the potpourri
Komaeda: takes it back, "it's not for you"
and then Rokkun would be sad for the rest of this thread and sometimes when you're distrusting of everybody and everything you play scenarios like this in your head and decide the best course of action is to avoid it. ]

But anyways, no, it's too far and you'd never make it. I was thinking of staying at school.

Tell me what you meant by Nanami-san. ...please. [ because the request sounds too forceful without it ]

What does she have anything to do with this?

( the way he does that and trots mud into wherever they're at for the night and the first thing komaeda asks him is if he's seen amami because it's almost hinata's birthday. )

...It's fine, you can throw it away.

( now komaeda will be the one sad because he loves this stuff, and here's rokkun not even wanting to mess with it because it'd make him smell nice. and idk, attract people??? maybe they'll think he's a good looking young man? you never know!!

but then again, i remember what komaeda did on rokkun's birthday, and i look away. )

...I would make it. ( he already made it once, despite dying a few times along the way. ) Do you lack that much faith in me?

...

( he pauses, looking at the other. isn't it obvious what it means? he looks to the side, trying to find the birds from before. )

...Come with me.

( because he doesn't want to be out in the open where people can see them engaging, where is a little courtyard bench for them to sit at. )

[ Rokuro "I would never lie to you" Arata will lie to Komaeda's face and say he has not seen Amami.

Anyways, no, he's not going to throw it away, you can't take back gifts, if Komaeda doesn't have a good grip on it Rokkun is going to take it and set it on his lap and wrap one arm protectively around it, it's his. ]

It's not a lack of faith, it's just... It would be winter, and you don't like being outside. So I'll come to you; you don't have to go out of your way for me.
