A Trick? Bah! Not Even A Magic Trick... | Reaction

His eyes were cast downward, hat slightly tilted forward, a broken man for all intents and purposes. He looked defeated, as if he had lost a great war, as if he had learned he had contracted a fatal disease. Soon his shoulders were shaking, bouncing uncontrollably, and small muffled sounds could be heard coming from him. Was he going to be alright? Was that… laughter?

Suddenly he threw his head back, his top hat barely maintaining it’s place on his head. A booming laugh echoed in the quiet room, and a small tear formed in the corner of one of his eyes. What the hell was wrong Chuckles the Clown over here? In time the suited man slowed his laughter, wiping away the tear and sporting the cheesiest of grins. This bear was so stupid that it was actually funny.

"Oh wow, do you really expect me to believe all of that? Puh-LEEZE! That was one of the dumbest performances I have ever seen. I’m not gonna lie, the last speech you gave was semi convincing, but everything else here is a logical fallacy! I mean I pieced together that there was some kind of ruse on our first day, and you think that you can come out all high and mighty like this was all suddenly the idea of a 2 foot bear? Actually 2 feet is kinda generous here, but whatever.”

"Alright, let’s think back to the problems with this airport. It actually all started the moment we got here: The departures. We were never allowed into the departure zone, at all. That includes before Usami got her phone call saying we weren’t gonna leave. If we were to arrive and leave at our earliest convenience, and it was close to our time to go, why was that section already under lock and key? Would it not be simpler to, I don’t know, actually let people into the area with planes?”

"There’s also the rooms and gift baskets. I can understand thinking ahead for water and chocolates, I really can, but an embroidered towel? That isn’t a last minute decision, that’s something professionally made, or someone had enough time to learn how to do it themselves. And cell phones? Who would even think of that? Not to mention that those cards were loaded with money (that we can’t spend right now I believe) from Hope’s Peak itself: Why is Hopes Peak giving us money when they could instead just be flying us out to their academy?”

"And what of the people? This airport is extremely popular amongst those in higher social circles, and yet in our entire week here, I haven’t seen anybody who wasn’t a student. Am I expected to believe that Hope’s Peak was preparing for a crisis so great that they rented a whole airport for it? No, not even the whole airport, there are still places we can’t go! Does anyone have a problem with my theories?"

With that the magician turned away from the bear, giving all the students a challenging look of curiosity. Did anyone really want try and defend this bear and his ridiculous killing prank? It was all so mind-numbingly stupid, trying to get people to murder each other. Who would ever do such a thing?

[Ab]Normal Days | Ryota | What The Puck? | ATTN: Nagisi

[shslhockeyjock]

Ryota watched as Nagisi disappeared into his own room, before doing the same. He was greeted by something similar to a posh hotel room, with the bed made and the furniture dusted. He even got his own bathroom! Ryota had never been in the presence of such luxury. He stood in awe for a few moments, before remembering why they had came to these rooms in the first place. The goodie bags!

He found his goodie bag on the bed. He plopped down on the bed, grabbing the bag and rifling through it. Within he found: A towel embroidered with his name, (Perfect! Now no one will be able to steal it! Although…why would they if they already have their own?) A bottle of fancy water, (Is this what the prime minister drinks?) A box of chocolates, (What! Ryota couldn’t eat these! It would completely ruin his athletic build.) and a key card. (Neat! Now he can lock his room. But according to the note in the goodie bag, it can purchase stuff. There’s shops in here…?)

He fished around in the bottom of the bag before pulling out a shiny new royal blue phone. He flipped in open to find that already alot of numbers had been saved into it. He assumed these must be the other students. He browsed the phone for a moment, in search of games, before he realized that he had come here with someone.

He bounded out of his room, skidding on the floor in the process. He looked up and down the corridor, spotting Nagisi, before returning to him to assess the situation.

Not sure what to think of it, But we got free phones! Woop woop! Not sure why they gave us them, though. I’m not ever sure it has games! Bummer. Well, I’m just hoping they give us some real food. We’re gonna be here for days! And did you read that note in it? Says that key card can BUY stuff! Isn’t that neat? 

[shslgroupmagician]

Yup, looks like everyone got the same thing. Maybe he should discuss his theory with Ryota here.... Nah. The guy was a nice person, but the magician wasn't sure that his Christmas tree was fully lit, if you know what I'm saying. He looked so happy that why not just leave him to that? No need to spoil his mind.

"I'm sure that they'll give us some food, but that's a really good point. I don't remember seeing any stores or eateries available on the map, do you? Where would we spend the preloaded money, unless the pool cost money to enter? I'm sure that there's a place, but as for now it is a mystery."

Nagisi idly flicked through the phones (very limited) functions, finishing in about 3 seconds. It could text, call, and view maps, but almost nothing else useful. Unless you were gonna take bathroom selfies, in which case you go for it, take everyone else's phone too. Nagisi flipped his phone closed, and with one wave of his hand it was gone. Oh! He also made his key card appear, locking his bedroom door. There was a valuable towel in there.

"Well that was an interesting excursion. Now we know all about out rooms and our 'gifts'. Now we just need to find out more about this hotel and this airport. I'm not a huge fan of swimming, and I do need something to occupy my time. I'm definitely not unpacking anything I don't have to though, it was hard enough to get my bags closed the first time."

"Do you have any ideas what to do next? Explore, pester the... Usami.. thing? Maybe go and see what everyone else's reactions to this establishment are? We can contact anyone now, though I don't know their names."

[Ab]Normal Days | Ryota | What The Puck? | ATTN: Nagisi

[shslhockeyjock]

Ryota waited as patiently as he could for Nagisi to return as he went to check the front desk. As Nagisi returned, he nodded to him as he was informed of his own room number. Cool! Although he may be stranded in a seemingly deserted airport with around two dozen other students, at least he’d get a nice cushy hotel room! Maybe this wasn’t so bad.

Alriiight! We each get our own rooms! Talk about classy! Huh, I guess they have to be unlocked? Or we’ll all be sleeping out in the lobby for a few days. Hey, I guess that makes us practically neighbours! Talk about good luck, am I right?

Ryota stood there, scratching his head as Nagisi moved on to explain his fitness regime. A regime where you don’t even get buff?! What’s even the point of that! Well, to each their own, I suppose…

…I guess, that kinda makes sense…But if you ever wanna get REALLY fit, you come to me first! That offer of a free boot camp is limited, and I don’t like making my friends pay! Ha! C’mon dude, we’d better hustle. 

He followed after Nagisi towards the stairwell, unsure of what to expect from an airport hotel. I mean, who’s ever been to a hotel in an airport?

RYOTA TAKEHIKO: HOTEL LOBBY > HOTEL ROOMS

[shslgroupmagician]

Removing himself from Ryota's company for a brief moment, Nagisi made his way into room 204, which, thankfully, was unlocked. At least the room was posh; everything was well decorated and clean, which was better than some of the other hotels that he had stayed at. Gordon Ramsey's Hotel Nightmares had nothing on this guy. However, what was on his bed was more immediately fascinating: Usami's gift.

Let's take a quick peek inside, yeah? First off, a water bottle. Nice, nice, he won't die of thirst now. Still, tap water was good enough for him, so he might as well save it for a drier day. Maybe if he went to exercise with Ryota or something, then he'd really need it. He'd probably need everyone's water bottles if he did that. Scary.

Up next, box of chocolates. Eh, sweets weren't a huge deal for him, but the sentiment was kind. Perhaps one day he'd share them with someone here as an icebreaker. Mk... Oh, a towel, with his name. Nice, now no one can accidentally use his towel! Oh wait, they wouldn't have done that anyways because it will be in his room. Nice.

A phone? Whoa, they went all out, a slick black phone with everyone else's contact information. He'd never be lonely again (although he had his own phone in his luggage- would he be getting that any time soon?). Aaaaand a keycard. Must be to his room, and apparently also for purchases? Huh, nice, though he didn't remember seeing a store on the map. Whatever, he'd just have to look around a bit more. All of this begged a question though: How?

The initial plan- or what he believed it to be- was to go to an airport, get on a plane, and arrive at the school. However, now that they've had a sudden 'unexpected' delay, they already had rooms prepped? The water bottle, keycard, and chocolate were easily explained, but a phone? An embroidered towel? You have to order those special, and if they were meant to receive it at Hope's Peak, wouldn't it already be there? Maybe this was all planned... Oh! Ryota! Right! Nagisi sprinted to the door in just a few short bounds, looking up and down the hall for the behemoth.

"So Ryota, I got a bottle of water, a towel, some chocolates, a phone, and my room key in my bag. I assume that you got something similar, yeah? What do you think of all of this?"

[zetsubou-airlines-blog]

[Ab]Normal Days | Ryota | What The Puck? | ATTN: Nagisi

[shslhockeyjock]

Ryota was pleased by how interested Nagisi seemed with what he had to say, with his reassuring idle nodding and creepy un-breaking eye contact. It’d been a while since someone had listened to him talk about how strong he was for this long. It was a refreshing change compared to his usual conversations.

He couldn’t help but feel disappointed when Nagisi declined his offer of giving him a crash course in how to get ripped. Who could ever decline such a tempting offer with such promising results? Well, you can’t win them all, I suppose. Maybe it was a good thing he would rather be a string bean, that suit didn’t look like it could cope with its wearer having bulging muscles.

You actually have a…fitness regime already? Well, you could have fooled me! No offense… But yeah! I’m always up for a fitness jam!

What did he mean by “interesting”? Ryota shrugged it off and took it as a compliment, nonetheless. When he noticed Nagisi inspecting the contents of his goodie bag, he saw it as the right time to do it himself.

I might not have anything interesting myself, but atleast this airport has some sweet loot. I’m more pumped about the fancy water than the phone! Have you seen that stuff? I can see my reflection in the bottle! Was never crazy about chocolate though… Sticks to my teeth, makes me feel fat, it’s pretty-

He stopped as his phone buzzed. Wow, who could be contacting him already? He flipped open his shiny new cellular device to see that Nagisi had texted him with a simple “Yo.” He turned the phone around and gestured to the message to show the magician himself.

Haha hey, that’s you! Neat! So these things already have everyone’s numbers? That’s cool, although I don’t know any of these people by name…

He scratched his head, but decided to ignore that fact for the moment.

Yeah you’re right, maybe exploring would be a good idea! This place is kind of a drag.

[shslgroupmagician]

Alright, exploring, sounded like a plan. Didn't that demented creature weird rabbit mention something about room numbers at the desk? Nagisi, tipping his hat to Ryotaaaaaaa, took the few quick strides to the desk before looking for their names. He was 204, and Ryotaaaa- Oh. It was just Ryota, not Ryotaaaaaa. Thank god he hadn't said that to anyone else. Ryota was 209.

Note to self: If people's names are really long, chances are they're exaggerating it. God, it was so much easier in the states, there everybody's names were things like George or Sarah or Bill! Here we have Ryota Takehikooooo- Takehiko, no extra o's- or, or, ok he didn't know any other names but still! Nagisi put his smile back on as he marched back Ryota's way, rehearsing the numbers in his head.

"Alright, so, my room number is 204, and yours is 209. We're both on the first floor with rooms, though you're a bit further down the hall. Still pretty close though! I don't have a room key, though, so I'll assume that they're unlocked. Maybe our keys are in the goodie bag? Either way, we might as well familiarize ourselves with the layout."

"As for my fitness regimen, it isn't something that will give me massive muscles, but it keeps me toned and in shape, and that's what I prefer. I fit in my suits, I look good on stage, and I'm healthy enough to be able to perform however long I'm needed without breaks. I'd imagine that yours is a lot more intense though, I'm curious to see how much you can lift or pull."

Nagisi could see it now: Ryota with a plane in each hand, pumping them by the tail fin. Turning the luggage carousel to maximum speed as an ultra treadmill. Terrifying, yet amusing. Nagisi couldn't help but chuckle as he headed to the stairs, eager to explore the rooms.

NAGISI KONORONA: HOTEL LOBBY > HOTEL ROOMS

[zetsubou-airlines-blog]

[Ab]Normal Days | Ryota | What The Puck? | ATTN: Nagisi

[shslhockeyjock]

Ryota was overjoyed to meet someone who was just as enthusiastic about introductions as he was! Anyone who put that much emphasis into saying his name must be someone worth befriending. Wait, was that fear in Nagisi’s eyes? No way, he’s probably just upset about the flight being delayed. Understandable.

  Yeah, I’m pretty buff. I get that a lot! Hah!

He paused momentarily to flex obnoxiously for the magician. It seemed that Nagisi wasn’t the only student who could be over the top.

I don’t usually make friends with shrimpy people, but I can learn to forgive you for it! And if you want, I can help you get totally ripped like me! Completely free!

Ryota was floored by Nagisi’s response. What! He wasn’t behind all of this?! This only created more unanswered questions for Ryota, which he decided to keep to himself. For once. Thank God.

Aw, that sucks! Looks like there won’t be any rabbits being pulled out of hats today. And I doubt that talkin’ one in the dress would fit in a hat that small!

He pondered for a moment at the magician’s question.

 Huh? Interesting? Well, I didn’t bring any magic cards, that’s for sure…I tried to bring my hockey stick, but they said it was considered too “dangerous” to have on a flight. Figures! But I won’t let the man bring me down. And no sir! I just got my phone. It’s a pretty ugly colour, but I didn’t get to pick it. These phones must be pretty cheap and crummy if we all got one! I wonder what they even do…

[shslgroupmagician]

Wow, what nice muscles. Well, for the first 2 seconds of flexing. Then it just kept happening. And happening. I warned you about the muscles bro, I told you dog. Nagisi just continued nodding politely and looking up at Ryotaaaaa, beginning to space out as he did so. What was the food like here? Were the beds comfortable? Mayb- oh he's done.

'Get ripped like me!' Never had such fear been struck into the hearts of men. Nagisi was about 99% certain that this workout would kill him in some manner. 'Ok, for our first exercise you have to bench press me!' Yeah, THAT'D go over well. Besides, Nagisi wasn't a wimp. He kept himself fit, fit enough to go hours onstage and lift some of the more difficult equipment, at least.

"No no no, that's quite alright, I have my own fitness regimen that I'll be sticking to! I'm not exactly skin and bones underneath the suit, though I do apologize for my, er, shrimpiness. Perhaps some day I will join you for a workout though, it seems interesting!" 'Yeah then I'll go jump a shark and steal the Declaration of Independence, no biggie'.

Oh right, the goodie bags. Nagisi took a brief moment to inspect his own contents, fishing through half-heartedly. Let's see, chocolates(give those away later), water(hell yeah liquids), a towel(with his name on it, save that), a cardkey(So gonna lose that), and a sleek, black phone. Nagisi held it up with a small smile, impressed by its colour and design. Then, as a quick test, he flipped it open and found Ryota's number. He sent one text- 'Yo'- before closing it and making the phone disappear. Nagisi then took off his hat, dropped the goodie bag inside, held it upside down(nothing fell out! Magic!) and placed it back on his head.

"Well, I'm sorry that you don't like your phone, but I can't say the same about mine. It gets the job done, and I rather enjoy my colour. I guess that I'll hang onto this, just in case. After all, there are a lot of people to meet here, and I'm sure we'll need all the help we can get to meet them all. They text, call, get the map, and probably not much else, but what else would you need?"

"Well, looking around there doesn't appear to be too much more going on here, and I don't think that everyone is gonna wait to introduce themselves here. Why not make some use of this time and try exploring these areas? I'm curious as to our accommodations."

[Ab]Normal Days | Ryota | What The Puck? | ATTN: Nagisi

Ryota watched with his mouth gaping open, as one particular student, sporting a gaudy top hat and a cheesy smile, tipped his hat, causing a full deck of cards to spill out and litter the lobby’s floor. Before he even had the chance to ask the stranger why he had been carrying a deck of cards around under his hat, he somehow commanded the cards to return to his hand. Ryota couldn’t help but give the young man an obnoxiously long clap.

His clapping faltered as the stranger suddenly addressed him.

Wha’? Oh, me! I’m Ryotaaa Takehikooo! Super High-School Level Hockey Champ, at your service!

He suddenly grabbed Nagisi’s hand, shaking it rapidly.

Nice to meet you, bud! And oh man, I wish I could do something like that! You’re putting my talent to shame, dudebro! Tell me, how’d you do that. The card thing, I mean-

He suddenly stopped and stared straight ahead, as if something suddenly clicked in his head.

WOAH! Wait, if you’re a magician, yeah? And magicians work with rabbits? Are you controlling that talking rabbit thing? Is this like a big prank? That’s so cool! 

He let out a chuckle before crossing his arms, looking particularly chuffed. That boy was really convinced he’d figured this whole incident out.

[shslgroupmagician]

Well at least someone liked his trick! A lot! A.... Lot.... Ok you can stop now. Stop clapping. Behemoth please. Alright there we go! For some reason he felt the need to clap once for every card he picked up. Maybe twice... Either way, Nagisi wasn't gonna argue, this man was enormous. Was he a man? He might be a giant or something. He Might Be A Giant, huh, that might make a good band name.

WOW OK NOT USING THAT ARM EVER AGAIN. It was like a gorilla swinging around a noodle, at several times it almost felt like the arm was going to be separated from the socket. This Ryotaaaaa Takehikoooo certainly had an athlete's strength, either that or he was a dumbbell enthusiast. A door to door dumbbell salesman, curling his wares between houses.

"Nice to meet you too Ryotaaaa Takehikooooo. I can clearly see how fit you are for your role as the Hockey Champ." And the unspoken dialogue: 'Ow ow please let go please please I don't have money I swear'

"I'm sure that your talent has many uses! For example, my strength is nowhere near your level! As well as hand-eye coordination and endurance, no doubt." 'Now please don't hurt me'

Wait was he really accusing Nagisi of all this? Nah man, no. Nagisi, with mirth from both the statement and the absolute joy of having his hand released, began to let out a soft laugh, readjusting his hat.

"Nah, that wasn't me! My rabbits are a lot better looking than that Usami, believe me. They also wouldn't allow them on planes without me jumping through several hoops, so I have no live animals with me today, or until I arrive at Hope's Peak. Did you bring anything interesting to Hope's Peak? Oh! Also, did you overhear anything that Usami said on the phone, Ryotaaaaaa?"

It seems that someone left a surprise for you! 

Goodie Bag Contents:

Bottle of Fancy Spring Water- Whoa, refreshing!

Box of Chocolates-  "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." - Someone Famous Probably

Fluffy Towel- It's super a soft towel with YOUR name on it. Literally. 

Shiawase Mobile Phone- 

A phone provided by Shiawase Airlines. You can use this to contact your other classmates from almost anywhere in the airport! Don't be fooled by its flip-phone appearance, it's extremely useful! You can also receive updates (maps), messages, calls, and pictures from your guide! Unfortunately, it does not work outside of the airport.

Shiawase Card-

A card with two different uses! It works as a key to enter your Hotel room-... so you probably shouldn't go anywhere without it. This card also helps you pay for anything within the airport and withdraw money from your Shiawase account! Lucky for you, Hope's Peak has already provided money for you to use on your account.

That's Plane Wrong | SHSLGroupMagician | Open Reaction

Wow, congratulations to Hope’s Peak Academy, the most prestigious high school ever. Way to not be prepared to allow your current students inside your gate, and leave them stranded in an airport! Really, it’s not like he wanted to go to the most esteemed academy in the world or anything, no let’s hang out with a bunny(not even one of his bunnies), and a bunch of-

Oh. A bunch of strangers. In all his excitement Nagisi had almost forgotten that he was surrounded by a bunch of people that he didn’t even recognize. Maybe he should have done some research into his class before showing up to go to school. Let’s see, what did he remember…. Absolutely nothing, studying was never his strong point.

Alright! Introductions! Nagisi turned to the rest of the crowd with an apologetic smile, tipping his top hat graciously to them(over the top? HA. Watch this.). Out of the hat fell a slew of cards, a full deck’s worth at least, spilling all over the ground. A small ‘tut-tut’ could be heard from the gentleman, who quickly leaned over and picked up one card, and one card only. Then, tapping the back of it twice, the rest flew back into his hand. Mother fucking MAGIC.

"Ah, sorry about that. If we’re going to be stuck in the hotel for a number of days, we should at least get to know each other, yes? My name is Nagisi Konorona, and I’m attending as the Super High School Level Magician. May I ask what your talent is?"

[zetsubou-airlines-blog]

[Prologue] This is your guide speaking! ★

The class looked around themselves, seeking out the voice that seemly came from nowhere. Things were getting awfully strange. Some students wore confusion on their faces as they failed to find the source. Then, they heard the voice again. Only this time, it led them to look at the front desk below the departure board.

“Ack-…I’m over here! This way!”

Behind it, they could make out a small, waving arm and a pair of… bunny ears?

“Uuuu… pewhaps, I should have gotten a chair…”

After a brief moment of difficulty, a white rabbit pulled herself on top of the desk. Had she been the one speaking to them? They marveled at the plush-like bunny’s magical girl-esque costume and the wand she carried at her side.

Was this the airport’s mascot?

“Phew…! This is a lot better…” She wiped the invisible sweat from her forehead. “Okay, class… pwease gather over here! I have some things I’d wike to share with you…!”

You all do what you’re told. After all, who’d bother to argue with a talking rabbit?

“Alwight, lets start over! Hello, my name is Flying Magical Girl Miracle ★ Usami.” She gave them a wave of her wand as if to confirm this. “Of couwse, you can all just call me Usami… it can be quite a mouthful…!”
