001 | Video/Action for New Bark

[codeforhope]

[A video appears on the feed with the sound of a Pokemon crying out happily, slightly muffled and at a bit of a distance. ”Goon! Gooon!” The feed shudders a bit, the surroundings shifting until whoever is on the other side finally gets their PokéGear angled toward themselves. Coming into view is what appears to be a young girl, and from the way their voice sounds in addition there’s nothing that could lead anyone to believe otherwise. This is in fact not the case, and rather she is a he. Still, the outfit he’s currently wearing seems to be made specifically for girls...]

Hello. ..Um. ...

[The child on the other end hesitates, pausing before trying to start again.]

My name... is Chihiro Fujisaki. I’m…not sure where I am...or what is going on, exactly.

[There’s a pause as the feed shifts once again, Chihiro moving to carefully sit in the grass instead of standing. The second he does a Zigzagoon climbs into his lap, nudging his head fondly against the underside of the boy's chin. He's not entirely sure what to do, obviously slightly unsure of the furry creature in his lap, but he seems friendly at least. After a pause he gently pets the Pokémon who continues to sit happily in his lap. Chihiro has arrived slightly overwhelmed by...well, everything, so it’s a moment before he’s able to continue.]

Or...how I got here, but.... Naegi-kun, Oowada-kun, Ishimaru-kun...um...Asahina-san...

[He quickly prattles off all the names of his classmates that he can remember off-hand, before realizing that a huge list of names won’t probably mean much if they...aren’t actually around. That thought strikes him hard for a moment before he takes a breath and continues, his grip on the ‘Gear tightening.]

...and everyone else. If any of you are here, from Hope’s Peak, please answer. Something...something must have happened. I mean, I’m outside again...and not...

[Chihiro seems unsure of what else to say, whatever he was saying dying on his tongue with his voice wavering slightly towards the end, so he dips his head a bit before cutting the feed.]

[He nods a little, his shoulders slumping slightly with what looks to be relief. It's not really something he wants to talk about right now, particularly when it's not face to face besides. He has so many questions and things he knows he needs to ask, but until he's in Goldenrod they'll just have to wait.

Sleeping will be difficult tonight, that's for sure.

Chihiro seems to perk slightly, though, when Ishimaru mentions Mondo. He doesn't say anything about it, but...the interest can be seen, at least.]

Ok.. ...I really...don't know yet. ...w-what I want to know, I mean.

[He falls silent for a moment at that; not bothered, just...thinking.]

...Take your time in deciding. It took me a long time before I decided I wanted to hear about what happened in my circumstances; it...changes things.

Make sure you're all right with that before deciding.

[Again he nods, stiffening slightly. ..As if he didn't have enough to think about already.]

..I will.

[Though the information Kirigiri has already given him is enough to make him question what happened, along with knowing enough to be able to figure out what....will happen. ...He doesn't want to really think about it at all, but now that he knows he's sort of obligated to.]

For now, I'm...j-just glad I'm not...alone, here.

Of course you're not.

[...]

I won't let anything happen to you or anyone else here, Fujisaki-kun. I promise.

...I know you won't, Ishimaru-kun. ....thank you.

[Just. ...what he wouldn't give to be there, instead of...here. Still, here is far better than Hope's Peak will ever be. At any rate, he knows he should be counting his lucky stars right now and just be patient until Nanami arrives.]
