Seeing as how it's been about seven months since the last time we did this, it's high time for another...

TEST DRIVE MEME!

Post with the characters you're thinking of apping in to see how they do! Either they've been here a while, are just arriving, or anything you want!

Have fun!

[Okay, you know what, let's just pretend this conversation takes place sometime after her...encounter with Ishimaru because that will save everyone a lot of time and grief and also BUT YOU'RE DEAD THO-ness, accordingly.

Hello, Fujisaki-san. Or would that be Fujisaki-kun? She's aware, you know, because of that whole thing where she unhesitatingly felt up your gratuitously crucified corpse.

#this well-adjusted young lady]

Fujisaki-san.

[SHE WILL HUMOR YOU THIS TIME.]

Ishimaru-kun said there were several of...us, here.

[Kirigiri, SHSL corpse feeler-upper it's okay Fujisaki doesn't know. Even if he did at least she's not like Togami haaa haa ha.

Actually, he's busy brightening right up. It really is Kirigiri-san! It's good to see her, naturally, and also because he's sure Naegi will be happy as well.]

Mmhm...! That's right. Asahina-san was the most recent one to arrive, after me... With Kirigiri-san, that'd be six of us, now.

[It's not so bad, really. Dead or not, there are worse people to be around than Fujisaki. His cheery demeanor is pretty much guaranteed to perk you right up — even when you're fighting tooth and nail to be an emotionless robot.]

Myself, Asahina-san, you, Ishimaru-kun, Naegi-kun...that leaves one unaccounted for.

[Unless it's Togami. Gently caress, it better not be Togami.]

Who is the sixth?

[One of these days he'll coax a smile out of you, Kirigiri. One day.]

Um-- That would be Oowada-kun.

[He doesn't hesitate to say so, even though he looks down and to the side. Though it's more out of thoughtfulness than any uncertainty.]

[Well, that settles some things, at least. Like why Ishimaru isn't tripping balls right now, for example. That also makes the count an even split — three and three, alive and dead. Three victims and three survivors.

Presumably Fujisaki-kun must know who murdered him, though. He seems to be taking it well enough (though who can say "how" a dead person ought to take being dead, when obviously there should be no way to obtain evidence of that in the first place — this is so weird), so perhaps in her absence her classmates have...reached an accord about things, of some variety. Hmm.]

I see. And according to Ishimaru-kun, the five of you — the six of us, now — are attempting to live out a new life here in this place, free of the walls of our old school. Is that correct?

Y-yes. [For some of them, there's already no going back. And that brings a worried crease to his forehead.

In going back, some already know the fate that's waiting for them, so he hopes that the others won't leave. Just so they can be spared that much...]

Do you think that it's bad, Kirigiri-san...? That we want to live here?

[Well, no, not if you're dead, seeing as how rationally speaking it's entirely preferable to be alive and creating a new life in a delusion than it is to be cut off from any attempt at a life in the first place on the grounds that you are in fact dead.

Honestly, she doesn't really want to answer the question in the first place, though. Who is she to say what's bad or not. It's safer just to observe, and to hold things to rational, objective standards. It's better that way.

On the other hand, this is Fujisaki, who is rationally and objectively by definition everyone's precious soul. So okay...she'll take a shot at making him feel a little better. He probably deserves that.]

Is this a good place to be? It's hard to say it's bad to want to stay here if it's not dangerous and you enjoy it.

[E-- Everyone's precious soul? Kirigiri pls??]

I... Most of the time, I do think that it's a really good place to be! [What isn't most of the time is the fact that uh Mondo and Ishimaru are in Team Rocket and that's very worrying at times.

He just thinks for people like Asahina and Naegi, who fought so hard, maybe they'd want to go back, or something, yet they're working to find a way to bring everyone here... Mmmmr.]

That everyone can be here together... [But he nods slowly, somewhat reassured.]

[WOULD YOU PREFER "TOO GOOD FOR THIS SINFUL EARTH" because let's be real it's one or the other, frankly.]

And outside the walls of the school. That's what we all wanted, isn't it.

[PLS THAT ONE'S EVEN WORSE. Better?? Something along those lines.]

Y-yes... For all of us to get out safely together... And see other people again.

[It's cool, man, you can be the precious soul and she'll be the narrative's flawless princess. It works out.]

Has anyone yet discovered what it is that makes people come here?

[All right we've got ourselves a deal. And Naegi can be the heroine.]

Not yet... Most people arrive in the same way it seems, though...
