hey, did that pet directory ever get made? there are at least four hamsters running around the observation deck. so far they're staying kind of close to me, but if they're yours, please come get them.

[Briefly, a video feed turns on. There sure are three hamsters sitting in front of Hajime, almost posing for the camera. The camera pans to show Hajime's incredulous, perpetually tired face, showing one hamster asleep on his shoulder.]

Whoa-! Wait, wait!!

[The camera pans back quickly to the three hamsters, except now they're all running for him. He lets out a yelp and the video feed turns off.]

No matter what wicked untruths come from your bewitched tongue, I am not foolish enough to believe there is another more powerful than I! Another capable to cast an accursed taboo more potent than a forbidden contract of my own design!

I am the Forbidden One! I am the Taboo King! I who am served by the Four Dark Devas of Destruction and will one day rule this world! The singularity dutifully at his side!

I am Gundam Tanaka and I shall free Hajime Hinata!

Um... right.

[He's... upset? And this is somehow Hajime's fault.

He feels like he needs a translator.]

Look, Tanaka, [that's his name, right? Mixed in with all that... other stuff,] I don't know what you're talking about, but... I'm glad you got your hamst-- uh, the Devas back.

[I'd say "nice to meet you," but... I'm not sure yet.]

Edited 2018-06-09 01:28 (UTC)

[Hm....

As if Gundam needed any reminders as to why he has no friends to begin with-- this is exceedingly difficult. Gundam fumbles for his scarf to pull it high up on his face, awkwardly grabbing at the air when he realizes he doesn't currently have it.]

[What in this world is worth having if it isn't difficult to obtain, though?]

Heh! [He turns that awkward air grab into a clenched fist.] Remember my name well...!

...Yeah. Gundam Tanaka, right?

[You just introduced yourself, there's no way I could forget a name that unique so easily.

Well, in any case. He offers a hand for a handshake and tries for a smile.]

You can just call me Hinata. Did you just wake up here?

Edited 2018-06-09 02:18 (UTC)

[Are you sure about that Hinata, because maybe forgetting things was your special talent all along...]

[REGARDLESS. Gundam grabs Hinata's hand, clenching it tightly as if this will jog Hinata's memory. Or maybe crush the curse out of him through the strength of their bond!!]

Mm... yes. It seems that while I was at war against the embalmer of the still midnight that battle took me and my Dark Devas on a pilgrimage beyond our universe!!

[SHSL Memory Loss.

Hajime lets out a little weird gnrk!! of pain, and immediately squeezes the other boy's hand just as hard in return. Ow? Dude?? He's not sure what's going on, but if it's a contest of strength or something, he's going to give it his best shot!!

He is going to try to let go first, regardless of the results. He isn't going to rub his poor, abused fingers, as much as he would like to.]

Uh... right. Something like that.

[I think.]

Anyway, if nobody's told you already, this is Reverie Terminal, and... we're all trying to find our way back home, more or less.

[Gundam becomes re-enthused at Hinata's attempt to engage in battle with him-- not that Hinata is strong enough to beat him or anything but-- the point is that despite whatever is going on, the Hinata he befriended is still there.]

Kekeke... Fuahaha--HAHA!

[Gundam will have some mercy on Hinata's poor fingers, letting go when he relents first.]

Ah... I see...

It seems as though yet another convoluted complexity has been added to our desire to return to Hope's Peak. [Maybe this one has less murder... maybe.]

[I'm glad he's happy about it...

His fingers still kind of hurt? Dude.

That politely incredulous expression freezes, all at once, and he raises a hand in front of his face in surprise. Maybe he just hadn't heard him right?]

Sorry, did you say... Hope's Peak? Like Hope's Peak Academy? Are you a student there?

Edited 2018-06-14 02:00 (UTC)

Your mind's propensity for dismissing knowledge is truly intriguing...

We are both disciples of the academy, are we not?

[Gundam assumes at least. Everyone else trapped on the island was -- of course Hinata was the only one who was unable to recall his talent...]

[That was definitely an insult, but it goes over his head. We're... both?]

N...no, that's wrong.

[His heart is sinking into his stomach, a weird mixture of confusion and resentment. How could this guy think he's a Super High School Level?!]

You're... the first Hope's Peak student I've met on this station. Nobody else here is.

[His own voice sounds distant in his ears, his shoulders hunching defensively.]

You're the first person I've met here who's even heard of Hope's Peak Academy.

Edited 2018-06-14 02:19 (UTC)

[Just he and Hinata escaped the fun house then? Gundam frowns. That's problematic...]

. . .

[He doesn't want to think about that so Gundam studies his hand with increasing intensity.]

Heh.

The Supreme Overlord of Ice and the singularity... our arrival here was no occurrence of happenstance!

"A being who can make the impossible possible...by overcoming various limitations..."

[Hinata Hajime!!!]

[He can't understand what this guy is saying. He doesn't have a hope of comprehending what's going on, not with the information he has.]

You said that before, "singularity." What's that supposed to mean?

[But wait-- that's not the important question. If this guy is really a Hope's Peak student, then-!]

Do you know a girl named Nanami? The Super High School Level Gamer?

[Nanami?]

[...honestly? Forgetting an overlord, but remembering Nanami?

Really.]

[Maybe a bit too sullenly:]

...I do recall her being our classmate, yes.

[Did Nanami infuse Hinata with her power and not allow Hinata to perish?

No.]

[He... doesn't really get it, but Gundam seems to be sulking. Which is... weird.

Everything about this is throwing Hajime completely off-balance. He'd fully expected to be treated like dirt by any SHSL who showed up, or, worse, someone from Hope's Peak Academy's board of directors, security, etc.]

Your classmate, [he hears himself correct. Even if it's just phrasing, even if Gundam obviously didn't mean to include Hajime as part of his class, he doesn't want to hear it. It's like driving a knife right into the center of his heart, thinking that this guy could stand side-by-side with Chiaki, and he never could.]

She talked about you guys sometimes. We'd... hang out and play video games after school sometimes.

[It's still said with the kind of wary air like he expects Gundam to mock him, deride him for daring to spend time with an SHSL.]

[Wait. Gundam looks to be the abruptly thrown one in this conversation.]

You mean to say--!! You are capable of unlocking the forbidden knowledge that has eluded us all and are now able to recall your time at Hope's Peak?!

[Is this--!! Has Hinata engaged in equivalent exchange?!]

Edited 2018-06-14 03:26 (UTC)

What?

[How many times does he have to say it?! Is this guy mocking him on purpose?!]

I'm telling you, I'm not part of the Main Course. I'm just... a Reserve Course student.

Edited 2018-06-14 03:42 (UTC)

[Hinata's a... reserve course student?

...was that why he was unable to recall his 'talent?' He never had one to begin with?]

...

So trivial...

[Gundam turns his back.]

As if such an utterly meaningless thing would preclude you from my interests.
