[Video] UN: Komaeda

[The video starts with a close up of Komaeda's face as he's messing with the settings. It's advanced technology he's not familiar with, but it didn't take him long to get it going. Nothing ever takes him long to figure out when he tries.

He leans away and offers a smile, but it's a smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. He's tired. There's a weight there. People who are familiar with him might notice it's a little less carefree than he usually is. But then it's only to be expected.

Hello! This is quite the interesting thing to be suddenly rushed through. They said anomalies were the cause, but isn't that a bit curious? "Anomaly" is such a vague term. It's the sort of thing you see on TV used to hand wave fantastical concepts they don't want the audience to think of too much. So is there something not being explained here?

[Of course he barrels straight to the delicate question.]

But, what do I know? There's a lot of surprising things happening all at once. In fact, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if I was told we were in some sort of MMO! Being in some sort of elaborate program would make more sense than not anyway.

[He goes quiet for a moment, his expression far away lost in thought. It takes him a moment to remember the camera and go back to his train of thought.]

Ah, since I was just recently welcomed to this little expedition, I should introduce myself. My name is Komaeda Nagito. There's not really anything else to say, I'm a bit luckier than most people?

But this isn't science fiction, is it...?

[ A rhetorical question, naturally. ]

Even if the avatars are the ones that was taken, that doesn't change the core, I think. Komaeda-kun is still Komaeda-kun. Just like I'm still me.

[ She's... not going to say anything in regards to the whole copy or fake thing, because that gets into things that she actually doesn't want to talk about at the moment so she'll just brush that aside.

Even if he may think it's odd that she isn't surprised, has Nanami ever really been surprised by anything besides murder? ]

... is it bad? [ She's kind of curious. ]

Then you would have to tell me, Komaeda-kun... why you think it would be better if it wasn't.

[ why do you have such specific scenarios in your mind... ]

it's an experience at first, but after being here for a while, I think I'd change my mind. [ he isn't excited at all, truthfully. being stuck here is a huge problem, to him and to a lot of people. They just don't know it yet ] If all of this is real, I suppose we are all pioneers but... uhm... [ at what cost?


Kaneki touches his own chin ]


I'm sorry. Staying positive is important, I am just overwhelmed, I guess.

Sheesh! Of course you're excited.

I think a few things have been picked up here and there, but nothing that's been able to point towards a suspect! [The good thing about not being on the island is that they don't have to worry about time limits for investigations, at least. But the bad thing is that... well, because of that, whoever or whatever killed those people is still at large.]

What is a Taiga drama?

[ It sounds like tiger. Vaas likes tigers. ]

Aha, you seem to be rather relaxed. [ kaneki waves his hand ] Not that it's a bad thing.

In any case, since we are new and all, have you found anything exciting to do around here? [ besides visiting the planet, though he supposes that counts as well. ]

[ he shakes his head ] Just the residential area. I'm still getting familiar with the layout, and I'm focusing on important places like the med bay, library and such. [ library is a priority ok ]

I'm... still looking for it, actually. There has to be a library, books are important - to touch and to keep them and to share. [ kaneki is a huge book nerd, he'll be sad if there isn't an actual library with books on the fleet ]

Exactly! A book that you actually own becomes more important than just words on a screen.

Do you like to read as well, Komaeda-san?

[personal profile] anthropophagite 2017-03-12 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so too. I am Japanese Literature student back home, so books are my life in a way.

What kind do you like?

I don't think it would be. Because if Komaeda-kun isn't Komaeda-kun, then he wouldn't be the person I met on the island, I think. You may have done some things that I don't agree with, but... I still don't think that being somebody else than who you actually are would be good.
