Holiday spirit was not something that Fukawa had a lot of. Especially during this time, when everything was about blood and gore and fear and monsters; Fukawa would much rather stay inside and write something calming, something relaxing, rather than lose her wits end out here. However, she was scolded by the employees and told that she had to attend the field trip. So, she was forced aboard the bus, whenceforth she huddled close to a window seat and sat with her back turned to everyone else, staring out the window and at the passing, blurry view. The bumps that the bus hit knocked her glasses around her face and, occasionally, even right off. But she simply put them back on as naturally as she could, without making a huge fuss about it. She’d rather stay invisible.
Once they had finally arrived, and she was off the dreaded bus, she stood in the field with a book huddled close to her chest. She figured she’d simply find a nice spot to sit and read instead of actually engage in this childish endeavor. Finding a quiet bale of hay to sit on and quietly open her book to her page number. The world around her soon drowned out, and she never noticed someone approaching her. That is, until she heard crunching footsteps.
She looked up, a weary look permeated from her eyes to her nose and her lips. Her eyes lit up just a tad when she recognized the face. What was her name, though?
"O-oh… you’re here." Fukawa mumbled, closing her book and making sure to fold the corner of the page she was on."Well, w-what do you want? I’m kind of busy." Might as well get straight to the point—no need to prolong the girl’s stay here.
The bus ride had been a rough one and Chihiro was more than happy to be off the bus. She let out a sigh of relief as her feet touched solid ground. People immediately began breaking off into groups or walking off to do things their own way. Chihiro found herself without a partner.
It was rather frightening as people began to leave and she found herself standing alone by the bus entrance. She glanced around hurriedly for someone, anyone to cling on to lest she be alone for sure. A flash of black made her glance off to the side and she saw Fukawa darting off with her notebook in hand.
There we go!
Chihiro trotted after her. It took awhile to find the bespectacled girl but soon she found her sitting atop a bale of hay. With a smile, she hurried to her side. When Fukawa noticed her, Chihiro was taken aback by the weary expression she wore. She shuffled her feet as the other girl spoke.
"W...well..." Chihiro glanced up at her with a smile. "I was wondering if y...you wanted to come w...with me to the pumpkin patch." She motioned back to where the others were.

Fukawa had a distaste for lies. Petty lies, white-lies, or even important ones. Criminals lied, thieves lied, murderers lied. There was a part of her, in a sense, that lied as well, and she hated the very pit of it.
Why do you hate me? I’m just like you. No one likes me, like you. No one cares about me, like you. You and I are one in the same!
"I am nothing like you…" Fukawa thought to herself, closing her eyes shut as a powerful headache wracked her body. She kept trying to think, between the voice, the girl in front of her, and her still-missing papers. Through clenched teeth, she stared at the girl in front of her and—
—but wait, was that really possible? That word she said, “lost.” Was it possible that her papers were not stolen, but it was her own disorganization that led to her accusing a bystander? She wanted desperately to say it was someone else so that, for once, she could scream and yell at another person, hate another person for their mistakes. Once again, however, it seemed it was her own fault. No point in playing the blame game any longer.
Hee hee, looks like you fucked up again!
Letting go of her braids, she brought her hands up, clasped them together as though she were begging for forgiveness, and tried to resist biting on her nails. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. She carefully mulled over her words. Should she apologize? Maybe say “thanks”? Instead, she muttered, “W-whatever, I don’t care if you stole them or n-not, but I… I need them back. My papers… the ones I wrote my-myself.”
"H-how do I know you won’t just run off as soon as I turn my back? For all I know, you’re plotting to run away r-right now, aren’t you?"
She chewed on her bottom lip for a moment, deliberating if she should answer the girl or not. Her hands lowered from her chest,and she fiddled with her hands in front of her skirt.
She settled for a mumbled, “I’m Touko Fukawa…”
Chihiro kept her distance still, watching as the poor girl in front of her grappled with herself. The clutching of her braids and clenched teeth was enough for her to know that she should wait before attempting to get any closer. It was almost frightening to see the waves of emotions crashing forth from this stranger. Chihiro could feel the turmoil and hatred as it crossed her face and she began to tense up.
Maybe this wasn’t a good idea.
However the girl’s hands detached themselves from her braids, clasping them before her in a pleading manner. Chihiro let out a breath of relief. She thought…well…it didn’t quite matter now. The girl muttered about her papers again. So she was a writer? To lose her papers must have felt like the time she had lost A.E. Terrifying.
“I…I promise I won’t ru…run away.” Chihiro attempted to assure the girl, walking over to her side. “I p..promise.” After some deliberation, the girl finally gave her name. Touko Fukawa.
“It’s n…nice to meet you.” She gave her a small smile. “W…where did you l…last see your p…papers?”

"Thank you! I, too, am delighted to hear that you are faring well!" Sonia began, straightening up in her seat a little and folding her hands in her lap. She tiled her head when Naegi was mentioned, a bright smile finding its’ way across her features at the recently familiar name. "Indeed, I have met Mister Naegi."
She giggled. “He is most kind. He told me fascinating stories as I showed him to the dining hall.” She pondered over their meeting for a moment, bright gaze faltering and softening just a little, becoming thoughtful. “It is unfortunate, that he does not have a voice to speak with. Hopefully it will return to him very soon.”
The princess hoped that he would adjust decently… and that he wouldn’t find himself in any trouble. She knew very well, the sorts of punishments and things that could be given to those who didn’t find their place fast enough.
Naegi sure was becoming quite popular for a newcomer. It was unheard of at Hopes Peak. Most newcomers kept to themselves and silently assimilated themselves into the hierarchy. But Naegi…Naegi was stubborn. He hadn’t wanted to be a part of the Aristocracy and he made that very clear with her.
But he had already met Nidai, Sonia, and herself and there was no telling who else he had met. Chihiro was thankful that Sonia was so kind. She surely had spread her kindness and warm smiles to Naegi. However, with this new found popularity, that Naegi was beginning to accumulate was dangerous. His stubbornness was dangerous. He would get noticed at some point by one of the Red Aristocrats and…it could end terribly.
“I hope that he can f…find his voice s…soon.” Chihiro toyed with the edge of her skirt nervously. “Sonia, do you…do you think he will be a…all right here?”
Naegi laughed silently, clearly amused by Chihiro’s excitement and the sudden change in subject. He hoped she realized he wasn’t making fun or her or anything. With a shrug, he began writing, a smile on his face.
It was so nice being able to relax around someone. He paused though. What did he like to do? He was pretty uninteresting when it came to hobbies - reading, just surviving. Wow…I really am boring aren’t I? He sighed, resuming to write.
i dont really have any interesting hobbies i like reading a little? and playing card games and board games.
sorry i must be pretty boring huh?
Chihiro was pleased when she saw Naegi's smile. It was swell to see him more at ease especially after their heavier conversation just moments before. She read over his notebook as he finished. A soft laugh escaped her lips and she smiled at him.
"N...No! Not at all!" Chihiro replied. "I...Iike to read as well. Do you have any f...favorite books?"
{ Rule of Hopes' Peak ; open ✝ starter }
Celestia sat up; her long hands touched Chihiro’s cheeks and fringe and the top of her hair in a gesture which almost seemed be calming, comforting, kind, but her fingertips left conspicuous streaks of greasy black mud and blood wherever they passed. She beamed at the elder girl.
"You’re very welcome," she said sweetly, and her hand when she patted Chihiro’s cheek was cold as a slab of marble. "Don’t worry, I will enjoy your pudding in your stead, so it won’t go to waste."
Almost imperceptibly, her smile thinned and hardened, and spots of burgundy in her dark brown eyes intercepting a beam of errant milky light became almost scarlet. “Please use this time to compose yourself into a proper lady.”
Chihiro couldn't help but flinch as Celestia moved her hands to touch her face and hair. Such an affectionate gesture should have been reserved for someone who used it for true affection. Not this...this...malice. At first, Chihiro thought the cold was just from Celestia's fingers. But the earthy heaviness of the mud and biting metallic of her own blood invaded her nostrils and dripped from her bangs into her vision.
why me? why me? why did she have to do this to me?
Celestia's pale face, once a facade of gentle kindness, morphed into something more terrifying than all of her actions combined. Hardened smile matched her now near scarlet eyes. It was as if she had turned from angel to demon, shedding her disguise of light and donning her cloak of shadows.
"I...I will, my Lady." Chihiro curtsied and made to flee, but something stopped her. "Do you r..re...require anything else from me, my Lady Celestia?"

"I norm’lly let ‘im run around out here for a while during the day to wear off some energy, but somethin’ seems to have him all riled up. Maybe ‘s meetin’ someone new…"
"Oh...I'm sorry. I d...did...didn't mean to cause any trouble!" Chihiro exclaimed. She looked down at her feet, nervously pawing the ground with the toe of her shoes. The grass flattened and mud stained her shoes lightly. Chihiro hoped that she hadn't caused Mondo any future worries. She wondered if there was anything she could do to help.
"I...If you ever n...need any help with Chuck, I c...can try and help you if...if you want." It was the only thing she could really offer. She hoped it would be all right .
{Fire, Fire on the Tongues of Liars | Open}
Fixing her glasses on the bridge of her nose, Fukawa clenched her teeth together and grunted, bringing her hands together and squeezing in an effort to maintain her composure. She was prepared for a steady stream of tears and expected the girl before her to lash out harshly for her impudence. Instead, she was met with an equally frightened voice, a quivering of her lip and a stammering sentence structure.
Her arms reached around her sides, as though she were hugging herself, and pulled on her braids. This was a pet peeve of hers, something she normally did when embarrassed or nervous.
"D-don’t pretend you don’t know… You’re the only one out here, so y-you must have… you must have taken them…! What did you do with my papers, you… thief!" Although she attempted to sound threatening, her voice cracked and weak whimpers surfaced behind each stutter.
Chihiro flinched as the other girl hurled accusations at her, stammering them out with an attempt at ferocity. She could not be frightened by this girl; the fear and distress in her voice all too familiar. She must have lost something very important to her. What could she have lost?
Chihiro thought for a moment before stepping a bit closer to the girl. However she refrained from getting too close. She did not want to scare the poor girl or even rile her into making a more…physical reaction.
“I d…didn’t steal anything. M..maybe I can h…help you find whatever it was that you l…l…lost.” Chihiro suggested gently. “I’m C…Chihiro Fujisaki. W…what’s your n…name?” Maybe if she could calm her down a bit, she could make friends with this stranger.

Mahiru hummed, giving a somewhat absent nod as she grabbed what Chihiro had asked for and set them down on a dinner plate. She moved over to the refrigerator, dishing out a little spoonful of mixed fruit for her as well. After she was finished lining things up, she moved, setting the plate down and some silverware in front of the other girl.
She noticed the state the other girl was in, feeling her chest tighten a little. Had she said something wrong, maybe? She mulled over it for a moment before she bit her lower lip, turning to grab a glass. She filled it with some ice, clinking like marbles, and filled it with water. She turned, setting it down delicately next to the plate.
"We recently ran out of juice, so I hope water suits you fine." She mentioned, attempting to make her voice sound gentler now. She bit her lip again, at a loss. She might not have been the best with getting to know others through small talk, really, but she couldn’t just leave with the other girl so upset like this. It wasn’t right. So she settled herself down in the chair across from the other girl’s, running a hand a little awkwardly through her hair.
"Is there anything else you need?" She asked lightly. "I’d be more than happy to help you, if there is. All right?" There was no point in asking her if something was wrong— something was obviously wrong.
It was almost comforting to be in the same room as someone. Chihiro felt her sadness waning as the seconds ticked by. She hadn’t even been able to see anyone else all day. Perhaps all she needed was some human contact. Rubbing her eyes, she began to build up her courage to look at the other girl.
“W…water is f…fine.” Chihiro said softly. “Thank you for the food.” She hurriedly dug into the first of her sandwiches, stomach again whining for sustenance. She tried to eat slowly, but soon the sandwich had all but vanished from her hands. Sheepishly, she took a sip of water and, with a deep breath, glanced up at Mahiru. Her light brown eyes were still red from crying, but she attempted a small strained smile. It did not work out well.
“T…Th…Thank you, Mahiru. M…maybe we could talk for a w…w….while.” Chihiro toyed with a stray string on her sleeve nervously. “If..If you want.”

"Thanks…’s actually Chuck II. Named after my first dog. Same breed as ‘im." Mondo shifted a bit and struggled to keep Chuck inside his jacket, grumbling quietly to the dog. "…he likes people a lot more’n I do…" he mused, settling for holding the puppy behind one of the long sides of his coat.
"He seems v...very sweet." Chihiro replied, watching as he shifted and adjusted the squirming dog. With such a rambunctious puppy, hiding him would be a big task. "H...ow have you been a..able to keep anyone from seeing Chuck so f..far? He seems so e...energetic."
{ Closed-off } Open
Mondo panicked. Shit. Someone else had seen him…now what? He reached over and quickly scooped the dog up, hiding him in his jacket again.
" ‘s name’s Chuck, but he don’ exist, alright? ‘m not sure if they’ll let me keep ‘im here if they knew about ‘im…."
Chihiro glanced up at Mondo as he hide Chuck, eyes wide. She supposed it was a good idea to hide his pet. She wasn't even sure if they were allowed pets. And if the Red Aristocrats found out...
"I...I understand." She replied, standing up again. "Chuck is a n...nice name though."
Naegi listened to her talk with an expression of awe on his face. He watched A.E chirp and clank, folding his arms on the table and resting his chin on them to watch it, a soft smile on his face. He could tell that Chihiro enjoyed talking about her creation, and it made him feel just a little inadequate. She was so talented - actually, everyone he had met seemed talented in some way - and yet he was so…normal.
I wish I had something of interest. But all I can do is play the kazoo. Sort of. He thought, trying to figure out if he had something he could talk about with that much enthusiasm.
Finding nothing, he just focused on Chihiro’s words.
Once he was sure that Chihiro had finished speaking, he began to write.
thats amazing fujisaki! i hope you can get a recording device soon because a talking automata would be amazing to see
"Heheh! Thank you Naegi. I hope so as well. I haven't been able to go into town lately to see if there are any devices in stock..." Chihiro smiled at him brightly. Suddenly she gasped, expression turning to one of panic.
"Oh no. I'm so sorry. H...here I am blabbering on and o..on and I haven't even asked about w...w...what you like." She stuttered, cheeks flushing. "Na...Naegi what do you like to do? D...Do you have a...any hobbies?"

Mondo blinked, seeing her tears.
"H-hey, d-don’t-!" Shit, he was just making it worse! He moved back a pace or two and hunched his shoulders slightly, ducking his head.
" ‘m sorry, alrigh’? ‘m just really not in a ‘people person’ sorta mood…ever….d-don’ cry…."
Chhiro sniffed and glanced up at him. He was apologizing? Hunched over with his head ducked, he appeared even more menacing than before. Like he had puffed out a barrier to shield him, protect him from something. It was completely opposite of hers where she tried to make herself smaller, unnoticeable. She rubbed her eyes again and sucked in a deep, shuddering breath, steeling herself as she spoke.
“I’m sorry…I just c…c…cry easily. Please f…f…forgive my weakness.” Chihiro murmured, bowing her head. Her tears were slowly coming to a halt as she spoke again. “W…We haven’t met before. M…My name is Chihiro Fujisaki. Whats y…yours?”
" ‘m Mondo Oowada…." The teen’s violet eyes widened suddenly in surprise as a small yip came from his jacket. He squirmed for a moment, trying to shout through laughter, before a small dog jumped from his jacket, running over to stand at Chihiro’s feet.
"It's n...nice to meet you, M...Mondo-Oh!" She exclaimed as a small white ball of fluff burst from Mondo's jacket and pattered over to stand before her. The fluff, which Chihiro now realized was a puppy, wagged his tail and gazed up at her. He seemed to say: "Pet me. I'm adorable." A giggle escaped her lips and she bent down to pet the dog. It had been a long time since she had actually seen a dog let alone a puppy like this.
"H...he's so cute!" Chihiro said, the puppy licking and cuddling her hands as she scratched behind his ears. "D...does he have a n...name?" Her tears faded away and the only reminder of the were the stains on her cheeks and the slight redness in her brown eyes.

If there was anything the reserved girl hated more than going outside, it was going outside voluntarily. Either the sun burned the fair pale of her skin with red hash marks, or the cloudy sky loomed over the girl like a fortune of bad luck. It was too dark, or it was too light. It was too hot, or it was too cold. No matter what the situation, she always managed to nitpick, to pluck out every negative thing about the day, even if there was none. Even if the sky was crystal blue and the weather was nice with a small breeze, she’d complain about the noisy cicadas or buzzing flies that frequented the imperfections on her skin. There was no middle ground.
However, she had a mission this time around. She wasn’t just out to complain about the harsh sunlight or the chilly breeze, no. Upon locking herself in her dorm for today, she pulled out her book bag and discovered that her four pages of writing she had done were now missing. Checking the bookshelf, desk drawers, bathroom, and even under her bed yielded no results. It couldn’t have been her own fault they were missing, no, someone else must have taken them. Someone else had stolen her only prized possessions, made off with them and possibly even threw them out in the trashcan, quite possibly where they belonged. Her writing was hideous anyways, wasn’t it? What good had writing ever done for her, except to block away the pain temporarily?
She spotted a person she hadn’t recognized, for only arriving at the orphanage recently and locking herself in her dorm twenty-four hours a day left her a stranger in her own (new) home. With her case in tow, she made an inhumane cough to attract their attention and then croaked out, “What did you do with it? H-huh?! W-where is it?” She practically screamed anxiety; flushed cheeks and shaky, sweaty hands, eyes that shook and a gaze that wavered from her feet to the person before her. Being confident was not something that came naturally to her, but then again, neither did speaking up. She preferred to go by unnoticed, but her papers were important to her. They were practically the only things that kept her sane, and she needed them back.
Walks. Why was it always on walks that she ran into trouble? Why did she keep torturing herself with the possibility of running into people who yelled?
I should have just stayed inside today…
Chihiro whirled around as an unknown girl with thick braids and round glasses screamed at her, voice demanding and harsh. She was asking her about something. Chihiro flinched and nervously backed up a step. Who was this girl? Another newcomer? A stranger from outside the orphanage? She seemed young enough to be a part of Hopes Peak, but she was sure she had never seen her anywhere before. If she was an outsider, this stranger would be in big trouble.
“I…I…I don’t know what you’re talking a…about.” She stuttered softly. “Wh…who are you?”
