   Between the noise and the sight of his plum-haired friend in the distance, Gonta can’t help which one he prioritizes. He’s pretty sure he heard a beetle, too, but he’s not acknowledging that yet at all.

It’s already occurring to him how long it’s been since he’s seen Kaito. He hasn’t thought much of it before this moment, but it’s been… a long time! Months? Almost a year?! Long enough to make him sad, though it may be just that which makes the reunion even better.

In this case, however, this isn’t set up to be the happiest reunion. Gonta’s overcome with concern more than anything else, rushing over to the astronaut’s side to get a look at his face. 

“M-Momota-kun!” They’ll have to do without a proper greeting, for now. “Gonta doesn’t know what just happened, but are you okay?!”

Man, what a doozy... his nose is bleeding enough for it to spill over into his hand, and someone’s come up next to him to see Kaito in all of his shame. And they know his name! Blearily, he blinks up at the guy and, boy, do his eyes deceive him. Had he gotten a concussion with that impact? He’s sure that his nose had taken the brunt of it! “Did you say... Gonta?” One hand holding fast to his nose, the other pats at the broader guy’s face and tugs at his cheek- maybe a little too roughly. “Hah, no way, it’s really Gokuhara! You’ve made it out of that wretched place, too! This is great news!... Oh...” Wincing and laughing, he cringes when his nose bubbles up in red and coughs from the grossness of it- oops! He should get that settled first. “I’m- just dandy! This is nothing! It’s...”  Come to think of it, Kaito hadn’t smashed his face into the tree for nothing. He stares at Gonta long and hard before he snaps his fingers and gestures to him with his pointer finger. “You wouldn’t happen to have made that loud noise a little while ago, right?”

    She didn’t think she would see him again. After all that happened back in the killing game, it felt impossible for the assassin. Sure, she had seen plenty of people she thought she wouldn’t cross paths with further. However, this was the only time Maki felt more emotions than before– She still continued to repress he emotions in Spirale, but this instance brought forward a weird feeling. Relief.

    “.. Right. There’s nobody forcing you to kill here or whatever. This city is full of strong people, though– Don’t let your guard down.” She said that with concern, even if the tone of her words was its usual blunt state.

    Red hues widened as he put a fist out towards the brunette, taking a moment before putting her fist against his with some power behind it. “Whatever,” she ended with a pout. She had been to this place a lot before and the fog never seemed to disappear. It’s almost like it was there to set a sort of atmosphere– Not that she cared. She wasn’t scared or concerned.

    “The fog’s there on purpose. It’s probably to keep you here. They wouldn’t go through this whole elaborate setup if we could leave whenever we wanted. It’s easier to just stay by yourself and get used to it.” At least, that’s what she had been doing.

    The mention of others did make the assassin cross her arms over her chest. “Some of them are here. I haven’t seen everyone, though. Shirogane was here for a while and left– I don’t care, though. There’s Akamatsu, Ouma, Amami, Gokuhara, Saihara.. There could be more I haven’t seen, I guess.”

    “But.. It’s good to see you.”

“Heh!” When she reluctantly met his fist with hers, Kaito flashed her another grin and gave her an approving thumbs up. If that wasn’t a sign of their budding friendship, he didn’t know what was, even faced with a brand new unknown full of brand new danger! It felt good to know he’d have both Shuichi AND Maki there with him to figure out just what in the world was going on. The mention of powerful people did make him frown, and Kaito gestured to her with a dip of his hand. “If someone as strong as you is saying that, it’s gotta be true. I’d heard as much from Ouma, but you know the guy… I couldn’t be too sure!” The question of whether the zombies, ghosts, and all of that stuff also lurked about… Just thinking about asking her made him queasy, so he shelved it before he could grow too pale and cleared his throat. “Nevermind that, though… If we keep up our training from before, we should be in good shape!”

He didn’t want to forgo getting through the fog just like that, but he also didn’t feel like trying to talk her out of what she’d decided right then and there… First and foremost, he wanted to settle into something normal, get a hold of his surroundings. He wasn’t alone, after all, and they had to take care of themselves. ...And judging by her list of names, they had all the backup they could need! Although… Shirogane had...left? He thumbed at his goatee, perplexed. So, it was possible to leave. And not back to that place, he hoped… Maybe they’d be seeing her again, along with all of the rest. But- Violet eyes lifted blink at her unexpected comment, and Kaito found himself beaming, launching into the hug he’d repressed before. “So, you are glad to see me! That’s great, Harumaki! I’m stoked to see you, too! You’ll see- if we stick to our guns, we can break out of here, too, just like we’d intended back there, powerful people or not!”

“Aww, I see! So you’re not dumb enough to believe we’re on mars or something, I’m impressed, Momota-chan!” He continued teasing him. Though, it was true, to this day Kokichi had no idea where the academy was placed either. It maybe wasn’t that important to know now either, but whoever was in charge of it, they did a good job at hiding the disgusting things they did.

Of course the game loving boy didn’t refuse the other’s challenge, so he also made already a big pile of sand ready, that he now worked on while he continued to talk:

“Did you try to leave her already? I heard that there’s no escaping here, just like back in the academy, almost feels like home, right?” Tasteless jokes always were something he was good at, however, he’s freatures turned serious for a short while. 

“Well, I’m here already for a while, y’know? I won’t say it’s peacefull here, because it isn’t. There’s some weird monsters walking around from time to time, and it’s not even just those. Did you meet other people here? Some could even kill you quicker than Harukawa-chan could. They can spit fire or have other weird magical powers, and I mean real magic, not the fake one Yumeno-chan always talked about. Really interesting and weird, huh? Oh!” Too bad that his seriousness never stayed for too long, especially in the presence of the astronaut. 

“I totally forgot to mention, but I heard the undead walks around here too!  Zombies, ghosts and all of that stuff! Pretty cool, right?” Naturally the prankster remembered Kaitos fear of the occult, what he said wasn’t exactly a lie, but it still was funny as hell to be the one to tell him that. 

“What’s wrooong, Momota-chan? You suddenly stopped working on your sandcastle, if you keep that up, I’ll win too easily, y’know?”

Kaito worked the sand with some of the water he’d scooped of from the sea, pushing the bucket over to Kokichi, should he need it- it had to be fair, after all! As for if he’d attempted to leave… 

His swiped the back of his arm at the sweat from his forehead, a puzzled jut of his lip directed at his opponent. “Now that you mention it… Every time I’ve tried to venture out past the maps, I end up back in bed, hurting all over, too! There’s gotta be a way around that fog!” But Kokichi was saying he’d been there a while… how was that possible? After all, Kaito had seen him at the academy, just prior to arriving there himself. Another one of his lies? It was a pointless one, but not all of Kokichi’s lies seemed to have reason behind them. He listened with a dubious lift of his brow as he went on about powerful beings and REAL magic. “Ha! As if I’d fall for any of that, Oum-...”

His hands curled around the tower he’d been shaping with too much force, and his castle in the making crumbled in his shaking grip. What- had he said?

A slow, wide-eyed stare lifted to lock onto Kokichi, and Kaito swallowed hard against the suddenly very present lump in his throat, his heartbeat accelerating uncomfortably. No way- stuff like that didn’t exist, no way, no way! “Come-come off it, Ouma! There… are no things like that here! I… woulda definitely... “ Try as he might to rebuild his castle, the sand had begun to cling to his clammy palms, so Kaito wiped them off on his shorts and retried repeatedly, shaking his head profusely. “There’s… there’s a lot of people here, sure, but none of that stuff is true!” He couldn’t be serious. He was Ouma, Kokichi! There was no way… No way… “GAH, WORK WITH ME, YA DUMB SAND…”

This was the Kaito who had not died, Shuichi understood right away. Which meant his entire outburst must have seemed out of character. Out of character, hehe, funny for someone who was fictional like him. 

“Sorry about all that. I was just scared, so I started talking nonsense.” Shuichi lied smoothly. He hoped Kaito would not hate him for lying, but he would prefer Kaito go back to always smiling recklessly at everything, then him worrying about being dead. “Y-yeah. Ouma told me. I was scared of losing you because I found out about that thing… yeah… so what I need to do is train to get stronger so I won’t be scared anymore.” 

Shuichi said looking up at Kaito with a smile. He was not as good at smiling as Kaito, or Kaede was, but he really was happy to see this person again. “Oh, before I forget. A lot of people from the academy are in this city, Kaede, Maki, a couple others too. Now that we’re on the outside we can become friends with all of them. We could even invite them to a training session!”

All of Kaito’s worries diffused with Shuichi’s explanation. So, it had been a joke! It made sense that Ouma would recruit him in for a gag like that- but, no harm, no foul, so Kaito couldn’t fault Shuichi for wanting to mess with him a little. 

“You really had me going for a second there, Shuichi! Man, who’d have known you could be such a kidder, huh?!” Naturally, Kaito’s revenge consisted of locking an arm around his buddy’s neck in a loose grip and grinding his palm into the top of Shuichi’s head, his laughter stark and bright against the lull of the bustling townsfolk. It was good to see him smiling! “Hm?” Dropping his hold, Kaito snapped his fingers. “Harumaki’s here, too?!” The three of them… were back together, then! They could certainly reinstate their training sessions if that was the case! More than that… his two closest friends were in this with him. He was relieved- they were free…! But… Something was off, and Kaito’s wavering gaze lowered and rose to meet Shuichi’s with a quizzical, and almost sad, smile. “... Are you feeling okay, Shuichi? You know, back there… It was hard on all of us, and especially you, but… Akamatsu’s… you know…”

“ Your keys? ”     Now that certainly seems strange. The very first thought that comes to mind when Ashton thinks of the circumstance behind Spirale is how organized it all is, like it were methodically orchestrated from the shadows. What are the odds of this, then? Of being given the wrong set of keys? Slim, he would think. Nonetheless, Ashton bends to place his groceries aside on the patio they stand on  –  Gyoro and Ururun carefully drop the bags held by their teeth into his waiting hands to set those, too, down  –  and he cranes his neck to inspect this stranger’s ongoing predicament closer once back upright.   “ Maybe the lock is jammed… Can I see? ” Then does he receive the blankest of stares, and Ashton stops just short of moving closer. Ah. There’s the reaction he’s used to. “ These guys? Uh… They’re – ”    A second of hesitation; the ‘guys’ in question merely return the stare with one equally expressionless.  “ Dragons,”   he finishes lamely.

“I see!… so they are dragons!” Kaito crosses his arms and nods knowingly, a sharp smile quirking his lips up- although, it falls completely flat in the next second and his hands rise up to grip at either side of his head.

Dragons?! Dragons?! As in, ACTUAL living, breathing dragons?! (And they hold groceries?! That’s way too handy!) “What, they’re like robots then, right?!” That can be the only logical explanation- even in all of his travels, the closest thing he’s seen to something as mystical as a dragon is that blasted Monokuma robot bear! These things are way too lifelike, and staggering up to them to get a better gawk only makes them look as real as the anaconda he’d once come face to face with! “They’re incredibly lifelike! How’d you manage that?!”

His key starts to slip from his grip, but Kaito fumbles it into a hasty catch, looking from the guy to the lock in question before nodding fiercely, an apprehensive eye steadily returning to the curious creatures. “Y-yeah! Have at it, man! I can’t figure out how in the world to even go about getting this situation fixed up! Where the heck did that cab driver that brought me here even go, you know?!”

@consteknight 

Never would she have thought that she’d meet another familiar face while she went out to get a snack in Little Tokyo. But there he was, eating his meal on a table not too far from her. “Momota-kun?!” She called out before eventually approaching him. 

“It really is you!” This was the first time that she met the Ultimate Astronaut in this place. Did this mean… he was new here, too? 

“I didn’t know you were here as well! Isn’t it strange how so many of our classmates ended up here? Amami-kun is here too, even though he and I… you know.” She didn’t really like to mention that either of them died, but sadly it was a fact. The less she understood how she could be alive right now, but it wasn’t like she wasn’t happy and grateful about it. 

“What do you think about this place? I mean, it’s not exactly home, but it sure is better than the academy to me. Really, if I’d have a piano in my room I’d be pretty satisfied…” Of course she missed her family and old friends, but in her situation she already must be grateful that she still could somehow exist in the first place.

Man, he’d finally figured out just what Stars were, where to scoop up his own starting pool, and how much they were worth! There’d been enough food in the kitchen, but Kaito wasn’t sure just where his ended and his roommates’ began. Of course, that hadn’t stopped him from slapping IOUs all over the place and taking what he needed, but the fridge was beginning to fill up with too many papers and he wasn’t sure he should be incurring debt, first thing in this place. He’d heard about the Little Tokyo shop and decided to give it a go and maybe start looking for a way to get more of those Stars after that, but- Kaito’d been halfway into slurping up a mouthful of noodles, and the sudden call of his name drew his attention. Of course, it was the sight of who was calling that caused him to start coughing up a storm. 

“AKA-” Hack-cough-cough. “AKAMATSU?!” 

He’d heard from the others, but seeing her in person was something else altogether! He nearly knocked his bowl over from standing up so fast- and after a hasty confirmation that he’d only spewed out broth (hm?! No blood!), he leaped in front of her and seized her shoulders. “In the flesh! Incredible! You’re here, like they said! Akamatsu… this is great, forget all of that! If you’re alive here, then that’s what’s most important now!” Grinning at her broadly, Kaito’s laughter rang out in succession with the pats to her shoulder. “Are you kidding me? Compared to that place, this one’s a gift right from the skies themselves! Sure, we may be restricted to certain areas, but at least it’s not a killing game!...” Although, like her, Kaito couldn’t be fully satisfied when his aspirations couldn’t be realized… He’d find a way to leave eventually, but for now…! He ruffled at her hair enthusiastically. “We’ll find you a piano in no time! In fact, I bet Detective Shuichi could track one down, easy! Man, it’s great to see you so well!”

RANDOM SENTENCE STARTERS

[rockinrpmemes]

Following my AUs and Prompts List from a few months back, here is a compilation of my favorite sentence starters for all your writing needs.

Because most of them aren’t mine, credits are at the end.

SHORT

“Marry me.” “Do you want me to leave?” “You are not going without me.” “I can’t believe you!” “I swear it won’t happen again.” “What did you say?” “I’m not jealous.” “You’re jealous, aren’t you?” “We can’t keep doing this.” “Are you sure this is legal?” “Isn’t this amazing?” “I’m going to take care of you, okay?” “Stay the night. Please.” “You can’t die. Please don’t die.” “Run away with me.” “You did WHAT?”  “Quit whining.” “Get outta my sight!” “Why are you so annoying?” “Were you ever going to tell me?” “Never in a million years.” “Don’t ask me that…” “I might have had a few shots.” “What’s with the box?” “W- What are you doing?” “Say it!” “I could kiss you right now!” “Are you done with that?” “What’s going on here?” “Stop pinning this on me! You started it!” “It’s your fault we’re in this mess.”  “Did you do this on purpose?!”  “Kiss me.” “Are you still awake..?”  “Excuse you?”  “This is all your fault!” “I can’t believe you dragged me into this.” “Don’t give me that look! It wasn’t my fault!”  “I shouldn’t be in love with you!” “It’s not fair!” “I could kill you right now!” “Knock it off!” “Screw you!” “You’re a complete moron!” “I love this song!” “I can’t be in love with you!” “Make me.” “Don’t tempt me.” “I hate you.” “You are infuriating!” “Just shut up already.” “That doesn’t even make sense.” “Bite me.” “Eat me.” “Kiss my ass.” “Just admit I’m right.” “Just admit you’re wrong.” “You are being ridiculous!” “That’s irrational.” “Listen to me!” “That’s not what I meant and you know it.” “Don’t yell at me.” “That’s it. End of discussion.” “I don’t believe you.” “You shouldn’t have said that.” “Fuck you!” “Shut your mouth before I shut it for you.” “How dare you?” “I dare you!”  “It’s you, it’s always been you.”  “Well this is awkward…” “Just pretend to be my date”.  

MISCELLANEOUS

“Are you really gonna leave without asking me the question you’ve been dying to ask me?” “The planet is fine. The people are fucked.” “I just did some calculations, and I’ve been able to determine that you’re full of shit.” “You know what I like most about people? Pets.” “Do you ever think if people heard our conversations they’d lock us up?” “What about a compromise? I’ll kill them first, and if it turns out they were friendly, I’ll apologize.” “I don’t hate you.. I just don’t like that you exist.” “Love is the jelly to sunshine’s peanut butter. And if I tell you that I’m in sandwich with you, I’m not just saying it to get in your Ziploc bag.” “Do things that make you happy within the confines of the legal system.” “Did you really just insult Captain America in front of me?” “Can I touch your boob?” “It’s not that you’re wrong, exactly, you’re just extremely not right.” “You shouldn’t be trusted with small children, should you?” “Give me cake or give me death.” “On a scale from, ’I can sometimes make important phone calls without crying’ to ’I have a stable job with a steady income, a spouse who loves me, a dog, and two kids who are screwed up minimally at worst’, how much of an adult are you?” “You think I’m dumb enough to fall for that stupid move?” “Despite the cliche, it’s not me, it’s you.” “Obviously you can’t tell a woman you just met that you love her, but it sucks that you can’t.” “No, it was my fault for thinking that you might care.” “When you love someone, you just don’t stop. Ever. Even when people roll their eyes or call you crazy… even then. Specially then!” “If you’re not scared, then you’re not taking a chance. If you’re not taking a chance, then what the hell are we doing anyway?” “I think I’ve been holding myself back from falling in love with you all over again.” “What have I told you about the toilet seat?” “I tried to change the duvet and I got stuck inside.” “I vote today to be a pajama day.” “You have to tell me why were committing a felony before we do it. Not that that’s going to stop us, but at least I’ll have all the facts.” “I don’t leave messages. If I wanted to talk to a machine, I’d talk to my VCR.” “I can be flexible. As long as everything is exactly the way I want it, I’m totally flexible.” “You know we’re suppose to be together. I knew it the first time I saw you, and you know it, too. I know you do.” “Those things you said yesterday… Did you mean them?” “I’m not going to apologise for this. Not anymore.” “What I hear when I’m being yelled at is people caring loudly at me.” “I am NOT crying, okay?! I’m allergic to jerks!” “This would not happen if I had a penis!” “That’s almost exactly the opposite of what I meant.” “All nighter, you and me. First one to fall sleep buys the other dinner.” “I don’t think I’ve ever played spin the bottle.”  “Sorry! I didn’t mean to touch your butt.”  “I’m ok, thank you. Just please, stop talking to me.”  “To the night you’ll never remember!” “Excuse me, did the 12:15 bus come by already?” “Could I sit here? All the other tables are full.” “Are you meeting someone here? Because.. I think I’m that person.”  “You weren’t supposed to laugh! I’m so embarrassed!”  “It must be hard with your sense of direction, never being able to find your way to a decent pickup line.” “Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his/her cake hole.” “I’m not gonna die in a hospital where the nurses aren’t even hot.” “You better take care of that car or I swear I’ll haunt your ass!” “This is the dumbest thing you’ve ever done.“ “It’s a real shame nobody asked for your opinion.” “I could do that, but could doesn’t mean would.” “You cannot fathom the immensity of the fucks I don’t give.” “You’re like, five feet tall. How you gonna reach me, shortie?” “I recognize that you have reached a decision, but given that it is a stupid ass decision I have elected to ignore it”  “Do you need me to kill someone for you?”  “Look out where you’re going, asshole!”  “Fuck the sandwich guy!”  “I did not mean for stripping to come out of this.”  “The whole street is blocked off. The police won’t tell us anything, but I think there’s been some kind of attack… Maybe a bomb?”  “Oh my god, are you okay? I’m calling the police. I think I saw who did this to you.”  “I’m weird, you’re weird, we could have weird little babies and live weirdly ever after if it wasn’t for the fact I find you repulsive.” “There is nothing wrong with planning a wedding with a video game character.” “I’m gonna lay down and die for like half hour okay?”    “There’s been some real friction in our friend group lately. I suggest an orgy to save our friendships.” “It’s midnight, what do you want?”  “I think I know how to use a bed.” “If I wake up in the morning and I’m dead… Wait.” “You are completely unfit to handle a child.” “We have to get out of this place. It is EVIL.” “Don’t you dare throw that snowba-, goddammit!”  “When in doubt curl into the fetal position and give up on life.” “It’s not a double date, we’re just third and forth wheeling.”

FLUFF

“Your hair is so soft…” “You’re so cute when you pout like that!” “Just relax, I’ll wash your hair for you.” “I’m not going to stop poking you until you give me some attention.” “What, does that feel good?” “HA! I found a weak-spot on you, didn’t I?” “Are you wearing my shirt?”  “You are ridiculously comfortable…” “I’ve had a rough day and honestly all I want right now is a drink and someone to cuddle with…” “You’re so cute when you’re half asleep like this…” “You’re beautiful, you know that?” “We should get a puppy!”

STARGAZING

“Aren’t they beautiful?” “These stars are nothing compared to the ones I’ve seen in your eyes.” “Shooting star, make a wish.” “It’s actually a comet, but I’ll still make one.” “Imagine if it could always be this way, even in the city.” “Never thought something so beautiful could exist in nature…” “Wouldn’t it be cool to name a star after yourself?” “Y'know, your roof may not be the safest place for us to stargaze.” “This is why you made me drive three hours out into the middle of nowhere?” “Is that a– Wait, no, just an airplane.” “I wouldn’t mind falling asleep out here.

FLIRTY/SUGGESTIVE/SEXUAL

“Did you just… finish?” “They always make shower sex sound so appealing, but honestly, this is getting dangerous.” “I’m not actually feeling anything.” “Are you getting any closer?” “Why do they make this look so easy in all those porn movies?! This hurts like fuck!” “Did something just happen? You’re not turned on anymore.” “Shit sorry, am I going too fast?” “Wow, you’re hot.” “Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” “Hey, I’m open minded.” “Keep sweet-talking and this could go a whole new direction.” “I think it’s about time we stop avoiding the obvious.” “I’m gonna be honest with you. I’m really horny, and you’re really hot. Can we fuck? Like, now?” “I see someone’s happy to see me.” “I saw that. You just checked me out.” “You know, when this is over, we should really have angry sex.” “Take off your clothes.”  “Tell all those other guys/girls you don’t need them ‘cause you got me.” “Don’t give me that face, it’s so cute I might not be able to hold back.” “Boobs are really just squishy pillows.”  “If you don’t get turned on by having your neck kissed somethings wrong with you.”  “Blasphemy! Sex solves everything.” “I platonically want to have sex with you. No big deal.”

Shuichi knew that Kaito would not want to see him crying. When he greeted Kaito again, he wanted to stand tall with his shoulders held high, and show him he was capable of standing on his own. That was what he wanted but Shuichi was not capable of looking that cool. 

“K…Kaito…” 

Suddenly, the boy he never expected to see again was shouting in his face. Shuichi’s eyes watered, and his face quickly fell apart into tears. He summoned up all his strength and tried to throw a fist at Kaito, but all he did was let his hand rest on his chest instead. He was weak after all. 

“You died you know. You didn’t even tell me you were dying. Didn’t you trust me at all, wasn’t I your sidekick. Kaito I…” Shuichi wiped at the tears on his face. Maybe Kaito did not care about him being strong, or cool when they saw each other again. He just wanted to greet Kaito with a smile, so he forced himself to smile widely in spite of his tears. He wanted to tell Kaito about absolutely everything, but all he said was. “I… I haven’t been keeping up on my training lately, sorry.” 

Kaito’s bottom lip jutted out, a stumped crease in his brow relaxing, and then furrowing again as he registered Shuichi’s tears. His friend’s movements dictated an attack of SOME sort, but when all he did was meet Kaito’s chest with his palm, Kaito squinted at the Ultimate Detective with a scrutiny that didn’t actually deduce anything.

Heck, he’d missed him, too, but wasn’t Shuichi going a teeny tiny bit overboard? Especially for someone that tended to shut down when he was troubled? --Wait, what?! ... Listening to Shuichi’s explanation through his crying, Kaito’s blood ran cold, chills prickling the skin at the back of his neck. He’d-- died? And-- and-- Shuichi knew about that thing? “No, I-- what are you talking about, Shuichi? I was-- I AM fine...! Of course I trust my sidekick!”

His words were disturbing, but Shuichi looked so genuinely happy to see him, and he knew Shuichi didn’t bawl for nothing. That alone had Kaito table his shock to reach out and lock an arm around Shuichi’s shoulders, grinding his palm into the top of his head in a friendly roughing. He was truly touched. “Man, did you miss me so much that you’re talking crazy now?! Ya goof, we’re gonna have to fix that training bit right up, aren’t we?!” He paused, loosened his hold, rubbed at the back of his own neck. “But, hey, bro, what--” He almost wanted to let it go, especially if it meant it would take any and all attention away from that thing. “--what was that about? Oh! I bet you’ve seen Ouma, too! He put you up to that, huh?”

    Maki enjoyed walking near the lake– It was quiet and away from all the mass crowds of people. She went there often to mind her own business and keep her distance. This time, too, was meant to be the same. That is, however, until her train of thought was interrupted with the sight of someone she hadn’t seen in a long time.

    Before getting a chance to collect herself, Maki instinctively pouted and her face reddened at the sudden grabbing of her cheeks. “Let go of me, idiot. If I was fake, how could you be touching me right now?”

    Moving his hands away from her face, she crossed her arms over her chest and looked him in the eyes. It really was him. “What were you doing here? It’s foggy. Don’t be foolish.” She wasn’t going to outright say it, but she was relieved to see him. Out of all the people they had met back in the killing game, it was him that tried to get her to break out of her shell. 

No way, how very lifelike! He was able to recreate Maki that accurately?! Huh, maybe he’d gotten to know her better than he’d initially thought! His hunches were incredibly trustworthy, after all!

...No- he drew himself back. Her stare flipped a different switch, and, suddenly, Kaito was convinced- this was the actual Maki Harukawa, in the flesh! So, he and Kokichi weren’t the only ones to have made it out... Maki was here, too?!  His excitement was enough to cut through the aches in his body from the outlying fog’s aftereffects, and Kaito pumped both fists as a broad grin split across his face, pale lilac irises lighting up with blatant cheer. “Harumaki, it’s REALLY you! You’re free, too! I mean, I don’t know how much better all of this really is,” a hand stretched out to gesture wildly, “--and we’re not exactly home, but there’s no ridiculous killing rules here!” 

That he knew of, anyway! Man, he could hug her! Except, he stopped himself short of doing that, instead throwing a fist out for her to bump and laughing, relief bright in his chuckling. 

Oh, right! The fog. Kaito’s head swiveled this way and that way- they were certainly within its reaches, and nothing was happening. It couldn’t be the same as the mist bordering the maps, then... “About that-- I was trying to see what’s past what the maps show, but there was this really thick fog. I tried to get past it once, and I ended up back in my room before I knew it! And when I did it again, I got the same result.”

Perplexed, his brows furrowed and he rubbed at his chin. “It made enduring all of that hurt for nothing! Who’s ever heard of a fog that makes you ache, huh? So, I thought I could see if this place was the same. I guess it’s not, but--”  He found himself beaming at her again. “I’m glad I came out anyway! This is a lot better than trying to figure that out on my own!... The others have got to be okay, too. Right? Yeah...”

“Ooooh, Momota-chan! I didn’t even see you there! I should’ve known already that this lousy sandcastle only could’ve been made by an idiot like you!” Of course this was a lie, he already saw the Ultimate Astronaut from afar. In fact, he was very happy to see him here, but he did need some reason to approach him and talk to him, right? Ruining his creation was a perfectly fine reason of course. 

“How ya doing? What do you think of this place here? Oh, I know, you probably think this is some alien planet thingy and you’re in space right now, right?” Though, to be honest, it wouldn’t even be the most dumb theory. Spirale surely had it’s mysteries that not even Kokichi could explain.

Then he kneeled down next to his former classmate and poked what was left of his sand castle. “Should I show you how to make a real sandcastle?” To be honest, the boy wondered if Kaito could remember their plan and their last exchange, but since not everyone’s memories here are the same, he wanted to poke around carefully until he knows for sure what the other remembered. 

“HEY, I’m not an idiot! Take it back!” 

It was almost comical, shouting at the smaller guy from where he was sitting, arms half raised protectively as if to shield the castle’s remains. Yeah, that was definitely Kokichi, alright- he’d begun to grate on Kaito’s nerves without even opening his mouth and completed the act with a few mere words!

He would have been more annoyed, but, truthfully, meeting someone he knew somewhat put his nerves at ease-- thinking he’d been the only one to escape the killing game had done a number on him with guilt alone. They may not have been on the friendliest terms, but Kaito was sincerely glad he was okay. 

An alien planet-- well, he’d never heard of a place called Spirale before, so couldn’t that very well be it?! And if it was space... wouldn’t that mean he’d finally reached one of his goals?! Ah, but he had to make the discovery himself in order for it to be worthwhile. Kaito rejected the idea. This place was teeming with all sorts of crazy intelligent life! And if Kokichi was here too... “No way, man. Aren’t we just on some secret, underground place on Earth? We’d never heard of that academy either, so that’s the better explanation! ...Right?”-- was Kokichi doing that thing where he didn’t exactly let on about everything he knew? 

He would peer at him through a narrowed leer before rolling lilac eyes and slamming a stray plastic pail into the sand before the other. “You think you can defeat me?! Do your worst, Ouma!”

         SHE   had so many things on her mind when she headed out today — she can’t remember any of them now, but she’s sure there were plenty. All thoughts were utterly derailed as he spun around to inform her of the merits of baby corn ( debatable ), all spring drained from her step. Instead, she wears an expression of utter bewilderment; her brows knit together — initially with concern since he’s so worked up, but ultimately with disbelief. 

               ❛   Wait, so… You’re just gonna… Eat ‘em like that ?  No… No salt, or — or anything ?  Just like they are, all… Baby-corn-y ???   ❜

“Hah?” He’d jammed more corn into his mouth in wake of the girl’s exasperation- being transported to an entirely different place made a guy hungry and there wasn’t a moment to waste while there was baby corn waiting to be consumed. Everybody wins! “Ichn’t ih fine juhsh how it isch?”  GULP. Ah, but his manners WERE lacking! He stretched out the plate before her, presenting her with what was left in all of its tiny glory. “My bad! You wanted some, didn’t you?” A thought struck about then, and his shoulders jolted, making the miniature vegetables jump with the sudden momentum. “Yo, hey, WAIT JUST A MINUTE NOW. Do you think these were meant to be some sorta secret admirer gift? Aw, man, I’ve already eaten most of ‘em!”

The random plummet of temperatures and unnerving laughter ringing in his ears goes ignored, as it always does. Nikkari is completely unfazed by the erratic occurrences that would send most brave men running for the hills but what snags his attention isn’t any impish apparition but a very familiar voice. 

❝ Friend? Oh– I get it! We’re playing another game again aren’t we? Wait right here I’ll only be a minute. ❞ It takes less than a minute for him to hurry on inside and grab the item he sought after. Emerging through the two-story home with the number 125 engraved into the building, Nikkari comes out with a plain sheet draped over his head.

❝ Boo! Here I am.❞

No, no, no. It’s most definitely NOT a game, but he doesn’t have time to express that before the other whisks away, leaving a slightly spooked and dumbfounded Kaito in their wake. 

He’s still scratching his head when the guy pops back out again, and when Kaito turns around, his face drains. Ack-

The stunned silence breaks once he’s more or less able to chill out the frantic beating in his chest. It’s the same guy, it’s the same guy! 

Still, he’s lunged behind a pillar and poked his head out with an unsure glare just in case it’s not, fingertips visibly as white as the sheet. “Wh-wh-what’s up with that getup, man?! And- and where’s your friend?! I thought that’s where you were going! To get her!”

It isn’t exactly what he expects to stumble across when he arrives back to his place of stay. Arms full of groceries in paper sacks, his dragons with bags held between teeth, Ashton finds a man standing outside the door adjacent to his own. He’s a peculiar looking fellow, fumbling with his keys, rattling the door handle with ever increasing frustration, and grumbling loud enough that Ashton had heard him even before he was within sight. The mercenary pauses, shifting the sacks in his arms to rest more so on his hip as he stops to ask –    “ Excuse me, are you locked out? I couldn’t help but notice you’re… struggling there. ”

“HAH?!”

He’s not sure where the delinquent voice comes from, but Kaito finds a grip on himself, loses the grip on the door handle that REFUSES to cooperate, and turns with a deliberate swish of his jacket. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to just go off like that. It’s just that... They musta messed up my keys! All of these fancy buildings and areas and cell phones and they get this wrong?!” It’s about then that he notices the dragons and he indicates toward them with a comically blank stare. “Oi, what’re those?”

Well! He hadn’t expected to actually tumble into the gaping hole at the center of it all, but having awoken in his bed was the even bigger surprise-- after all, it’d only been a series of unfortunate events and his own daredevil’ing that’d led to his collapse into the maw of the island. Kaito’s trudging is sluggish at best, and he ends up in a place called Netwalk. The curious creatures with tablets for heads catch his attention and Kaito spends all of five minutes getting one’s attention just for it to dodge his prodding at every attempt he makes. Jab. Jab. JAB. “Hold-- STILL, why don’tcha…!” Furious pokes evaded, he ends up jamming his finger into someone’s side, and an apology is hot on his lips and he stands tall to bow again, but he stops short when he realizes just who he’d dug his digit into. “Hey, man, sorry for-- for--” He seizes the other’s shoulders, giving a couple of shakes. “NO WAY. SHUICHI?!”

It’s early, a brand new day, and while he’s still weak from the fog that had knocked him unconscious two times in a row, he finds himself wandering around the lake with the koi fish that has a similar mist hanging on it. Debunking the mystery of the killer fog isn’t the only reason he’s there, but he doesn’t very well expect to see the very face that crosses his mind lingering near the edge of the shore.

Naturally, he does what any sane, reasonable person experiencing this might do: Kaito rubs at his eyes fiercely, and when she doesn’t vanish, both hands reach out to pull at her cheeks. “Huh! For a fog-induced hallucination, this fake Harumaki feels REAL.”

He’s squinting at a very real stag beetle creeping upon one of the cherry blossom trees with a raised eyebrow, unsure at first why the sight is so unnerving. - !!! That’s right! Back at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles, there’d been no bugs to gawk at or sidestep except for in one of the Ultimate labs! Kaito scrubs at his goatee with a fond smile, thinking of the one person who could only would truly appreciate the sight.

“Heh, haven’t tried beetle hunting since I was a kid! Let’s see if I can capture this guy right here…” He’s crouching up upon it when a loud crashing noise pulls at his attention in the worst way-- he slams face-first into the bark, effectively startling the bug into flight and away.
