[ chiaki using the english version of dr where everyone referred to each other by their first names... it's so offputting. but yeah wtf does that mean komaeda and rokku~n are closer than they all thought? star-crossed childhood friends?? damn-- ]

Hah?! First of all, that's disgusting. Second, if you guys think I'd be willing to donate blood on the fly and permanently scarring my beautiful skin good, you've got another thing coming. Like, hello? Even if you guys end up being vampire chuuni this entire time too, I won't offer a single dollop.

[ he already finds ritsu's vampire schtick back home super weird, now he has to deal with this? yall??? ]

It's not hard.

( he points to his wrist of his better hand, a metal digit dragging across the flesh as he shows the idol where he could start from. it's an uncomfortable subject, but komaeda manages to explain where he would start if he was offering his own blood. ) Especially when you can drink blood from your wrist to survive.

( whether that's true or not, he won't tell, but the expression komaeda wears is more "hear him out," than throw away the idea. ) We're already marked, so what's one more to have Kudo-san on our side?

( and what about roku~n? well, he's using komaeda's first name to talk to him so maybe he can get a pass, but he's not off the hook so don't worry. there's still a few concerns the ultimate has about him, but that's nothing he can bring up now actually. he looks towards chiaki, smiling softly while placing his water. )

As long as it's blood from Sena-kun, it doesn't matter right? You'll be satisfied?

No way!! You're not permanently scarring Sena's beautiful skin! There are other ways to bleed people without cu—- mmmnph!

[ Roku~n tiredly smushes Chiaki's drink against her cheek. Everybody please shut up. Except unfortunately, that sort of halfhearted attempt isn't enough to keep Chiaki quiet, who snatches the bottle from his hand and chugs half of it before recapping the bottle and continuing. ]

As long as it's Sena's, I'll be satisfied! I won't have to deal with those guys ever again!

[ it just keeps escalating and izumi couldn't think of any ways stop it. he's been surrounded with weirdo people before, sure, but when you're in a high school of horrors complete with a legitimate cult that yearns for blood, the stakes are higher than ever. why is komaeda enabling this? why is no one finding any of this fucked-up?

he clutches at his own wrist and gulps, a pained expression on his face. ]

Is... Is there really no other way? [ takes a deep breath. calm... calm. ] If I give you some of it, will you two talk more about them?

( komaeda drops his hand down as he stares back at what's inside of the vending machine, tapping the glass in thought as he listens to izumi respond. it's actually shocking to hear him budge, and immediately turns his head to look at the expression he wears — is he that bothered. even with his fears visible, komaeda gasps in thought as he smacks his prosthetic fist into the palm of his good hand. )

Hey, Sena-kun... ( he calls out in an attempt to grab his attempt to grab his attention, mostly to pull him out of that worried phase he's finding himself in. )

Since it was my idea, I'll do the honors of slicing you open.

( he's not a doctor, but he's done risky things for the sake of hope, and the idea of komaeda hurting himself and others isn't a foreign concept. it may sound like he gave izumi the short end of the stick, but komaeda's quick to get to his feet as he stares at the other with a kind smile. ) It's important you do this right... and because I'm lucky... I'll be able to get the right amount from you.

( with that said, he looks towards chiaki and roku~n, wondering if they'll agree with komaeda helping izumi do this, and besides, he might feel comfortable having someone else cut at his skin. )

Is that fine with you two? We could meet up at a different spot once I'm finished draining him, because trading an expensive good in the hallway is bad for business too.

[ Chiaki pulls her arm back to wham!! it into Komaeda's stomach. ]

Don't you dare touch him! GET AWAY FROM HIM! I won't let you hurt him!!

[ The honors is hers-- I'm just kidding. "She's just kidding," Roku~n says, helplessly and therefore unconvincingly, wrapping his arms around Chiaki from behind so he can physically pull her away from Komaeda.

"Hey, why don't we just let this drop? This has nothing to do with the late president, and her stash isn't going to run out anytime soon. Remember what he said, Chiaki?" He pokes her on the top of the head with his chin. "He likes blue." ]

[ he feels faint. he can't even stop komaeda from getting punched in the gut by the feisty girl (something that izumi really appreciates, thanks kudo), as he staggers back a little until his back hits the vending machine. he wanted to say that no he does NOT trust komaeda enough to slice him open what the fuck?? but for once the words don't come out. is this really how they're going to resolve things?

give him a moment to clear his throat, find his voice. ]

...You guys suck at being funny if all of this is just a joke. [ god. ] So what, you're just going to keep using her blood for art projects and satanist rituals? I thought you guys don't want to stay indebted to those freaks!

( listen, that wham!! gets a reaction from him, coughing up whatever breath he had as he finds himself dropping down to his knees, a hand outstretched to place against the floor so that he doesn't actually collide face first. his other hand however rests in the area where he was hit, and he coughs loudly while trying to catch his breath. overdramatic? no, but that was truly unlucky, he thinks. )

...

( you know what, you got this izumi! komaeda's just going to stay on the floor, because while he may be an ultimate that doesn't mean he's unable to get his ass whooped! the worst part, there's a smile on his face as he takes a slow breath, swallowing down the saliva caught in his throat as he looks up at chiaki. )

Y— ( let him breathe again, god he's probably having so much trouble because the collar he wears is tight. ) You're good at that... Be proud of yourself, ah... for such an opportunity, ( he almost looks like he's shaking? maybe he enjoyed it? maybe this is what people with sicknesses do. don't ask me about this freak. ) I wonder what bad luck will befall us. ( cough, cough, omg why does it hurt. )

[ Oh. Do you ever feel instant regret in punching something but not for any moral reason? It's like squashing a bug and now you have bug guts all over your hand and it's gross, that's the sort of face Chiaki makes. ]

Bad luck is trying to cut ties with that stupid Satan club. Do you think we've never thought about it?

[ why is komaeda so disgusting. izumi's not sure if he should pity the guy or help him up on his feet. he'll at least try to unbuckle the collar around his neck though, to help komaeda catch his breath. ]

Well, there's got to be a way! I'm not giving up my blood for anything until I know what the hell's going on. [ huffs! ] At least tell us what the sacrifices are for. Cults usually revolve around some god, right?

[ he doesn't... believe in gods... but cults were a thing in yumenosaki so he'd like to know more, thanks ]

( he wants to DIE what do you expect! which... thank you sena-kun... for being so kind, of course, while he tries, komaeda will reach up to grab his wrist. it's fine, he's actually been through worse. )

It's their hope, Sena-kun...

( he points out again, clearing his throat as he releases the idol's hand and sits down on the floor proper, criss-crossed. ) We can't look at what they're doing as bad, unless it's needless as despair...

( but this isn't what they need to talk about. ) If it's killing just to kill, it has to be dealt with. ( so it does come down to what izumi said. ) Who has been the sacrifices so far?

Don't know.

[ Roku~n lowers himself onto the floor like they're some sort of lunch group sitting in a circle in front of the vending machines, cracking open his can but not taking a sip. ]

Nothing good's going to come out of going in too deep with those people, so the less we know, the better. [ They could be gutting chicken for all he knows, and that's how it's going to stay. Whose blood it is, what all this is for, the people who would know are the ones in the cult—- and he's not about to suggest either of them talk to the cult members. ]

And we're not taking your blood, so calm down, Izumi. Just worry about graduating, don't get involved in all of this.

Yeah, yeah. My blood is too good for something as shady as that anyway.

[ enstars event where they have to do a bloodletting drive let's goooooo

but it seems that neither chiaki or rokku~n are budging, so it seems that they've reached a dead end? unless komaeda has something else to add. the guy's a lot more perceptive than he looks, loathe as izumi is to admit it.

oh wait, there is one more - ]

Just one more thing. Do you think the blood they've been using is the same one found in the water systems?

Why do you say it like that, Sena-kun? Explain it thoroughly.

( he looks to both chiaki and rokyu~n (hehe get it) and with a smile, he adds onto izumi's statement. )

There's a body in the pipes, and there might be more...

( now if there's a copious amount of deceased bodies in there, then that's a problem, but nothing they can help. the idea is... do they dispose of the bodies that they get blood out of into the sewers or what... ) Are they responsible for that too since... throwing away bodies seems complicated in a place like this. ( it's true, considering someone dumped one with a donation note on it. )

There's a WHAT!!?

[ Chiaki squeals and draws back, head whipping towards Izumi because he wouldn't joke?? Roku~n looks just as startled, but it's Chiaki who plows forward, looking from Izumi to Komaeda with newfound suspicion. ]

Aiko-san's body? Is that where she went?? Ohhhhhhhhhh my god. [ she breaths into her hands ] Oh my god.

[ JUST

THIS ICON ]

You guys didn't know?! That's what we've been trying to find out this entire time! What, do you think I was just bugging about her because I like her or something?

[ help ]

Haha, a body has been discovered.

( is izumi... not going to say it's not her body? because komaeda's not going to say it either. that's not what they're here to talk about. )

When was this school built? We might be able to understand the floorplan better. ( and maybe see... if there's another level to this place? guys.. how the fuck do bodies get in the pipes. ) And see who else we can find.

Can you shut your mouth?!

[ Chiaki goes over to where Komaeda is sitting and shoves him over. ]

WHY IS AIKO'S BODY IN THE PIPES?? What the fuck!

[ WE ARE NOT MOVING ON FROM THIS, HELLO??????? WHY DO YOU GUYS KNOW THIS?? WHY IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE COMMON KNOWLEDGE??????? ]

[ THIS KOMAEDA ABUSE HELP izumi's going to uh, get behind chiaki and try to pry her off him?! holy shit ]

Stop! It's not her body, all right?! Calm the fuck down!!

[ NOT HIS PRIORITIES BEING OUTTA WACK AS USUAL! ROKKU~N HELP ]

( WHY IS HE ALWAYS ATTACKED. it's ok this bad luck will give him GOOD LUCK... JUST WAIT. )

Should it have been her body? If you're quick to draw those conclusions...

( WHY DOES CHIAKI WANT HER BODY IN THE FUCKING PIPES HELP. )

THERE'S A SECOND BODY???

[ OOOOOOOOOHH MY GOD WHY IS THIS she can't even be happy about Izumi pulling her back because HOLY FUCK WHY WOULD THERE BE MORE THAN ONE BODY she's crying, I'm crying, Roku~n's just staring at this trainwreck unsure of what to do or say because

???

"calm down, there are two dead people instead of one"

?????????? ]

I told you to calm! Down! Kudo!!

[ he keeps tugging at her but also he's like how come komaeda isn't so affected from getting attacked like a wild animal? is this some kinda birds of the same flock situation?? anyway - ]

How come you didn't bat an eye from all that blood talk earlier, huh? Did you think the cult had gotten all that blood from anyone who's generous enough to donate on the fly like what I was gonna do?! That's bullshit!

( it's called GETTING USED TO IT???? damn... listen, he's serious about this, and he doesn't mind her mauling, and she only shoved him. that's not so bad!! and damn he talking to her like a dog, could not be komaeda — even though he has the leash on. )

That is odd now that you speak on it Sena-kun, she can't really be squeamish or she'd never use their blood.

( looking towards izumi trying to hold chiaki down, he looks towards roku~n to see if he can answer their question. )

Hey, they can't give you that blood for free, and you mentioned "sacrifices," does that mean you're giving up students from the art room? ( he pauses, thoughtful. ) Is that why you thought that's where her body went, because they dispose of them in the pipes?

( listen, he's just saying this shit out of his ass, sometimes you gotta speak mumbo jumbo to catch them slipping. )

[ Can't slip if you're too busy wailing in your hands— also taking advantage of Izumi's close proximity to cling to his arm for comfort even if he's yelling at her. ]

Are you two listening to yourselves?? There's a difference between a cup or two of blood you can safely get from somebody, and a WHOLE ASS BODY YOU'RE TELLING ME IS STUFFED INTO THE PIPES!!

[ They came here asking about one dead person and then brought up dead people in pipes?? look, she just be putting two and two together, okay

Roku~n pats her on the back, hoping she'll calm down a little, but he looks thoughtful too. "It can't be the cult, if it's bleeding into the water," he says hesitantly, because they owe that blood to the art club? what a waste. Cult corpses would be entirely drained of blood, thanks. ]

It's not-- a whole ass body!! Let us finish talking, will you?!

[ izumi just keeps tugging at her as he continues to be oblivious as fuck about the whole skinship thing. but he does pause at rokku~n's words, and then finally he lets go of her. ]

As I was saying, it's just a couple of body parts, no big fucking deal. [ dripping with sarcasm there. ] All this blood in the water talk is making me sick. Komaeda, you take over.

[ after you recover from that concussion, that is. ]
