[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?

There's probably a lot that they haven't explained... I think.

[ Nanami herself doesn't have any doubts about that at the very least, especially when you kept into consideration the facts and just how much has been left out. ]

I don't know if we're in an MMO, but if we were, I'd like to think that I would have been told if I leveled up or not by now, probably. Or gotten skill points...

[ Owari remembers hearing something about "anomalies" during orientation; she didn't care to think about it then, and she doesn't care to think about it now that Komaeda's brought it back up. The only thing she can think about is the surge of annoyance she feels seeing his face and hearing his voice, but they'll run into each other sooner or later, so it's better to just get it out of the way now. ]

Oh. It's you.

[ It's said flatly, but hey, at least she's not yelling at and threatening him...yet. ]

[Nekomaru is of course surprised when he checks the communicator and sees a very familiar face. Komaeda is one classmate who has proven the hardest to understand and easiest to tie up. And something about him seems different now. But despite all of that, Nekomaru can't help but be relieved to see another familiar face up in the lonely reaches of face.]

Komaeda?! You're here now too?!

... Really? Ah, Hinata-kun and Nidai-kun and Nanami-san are also here.

[ There is something wrong about that sentence and Komaeda has three guesses as to what exactly that is. The first two don't count. ]

If we're NPCs though, wouldn't we just have generic dialogue that the protagonists get to repeat over and over? Although there are some games where the NPC dialogue changes depending on how far you are in the story... and I think Hinata-kun fits more of the 'protagonist' role than he does an NPC role, too. Do you think we'll crash onto that kind of planet though, Komaeda-kun?

Elaborate program? [ that sounds creepy, and yet- ] I'd prefer if it was something like that. [ because it meant someone could eventually find a way to break it, and they could return.

anyway, he will nod his head politely ]
It's nice to meet you, Komaeda-san, I'm Kaneki Ken. Also new.

Mm... yeah, he is.

[ She answers quietly, but the feeling behind her words is firm. ]

You're right, though, I don't usually speak in third person... that's what Mioda-san does, I think. [ Way to be firm and then suddenly be a little less than that. ] Nanami-san is a different Nanami-san, although she looks a little bit like me.

[ Read as: looks exactly like her. ]

Hmm, I wonder... we already kind of crash landed on a planet, though.

Well, we're kind of stuck for now... since we need to get materials to fix the ship.

[ Since it's not exactly in tip-top shape to go anywhere at the moment. ]

And I'm not exactly sure. We haven't figured it out yet, but we'll try our best to find out why there are two of us.

[He had wrestled with himself on whether or not to respond. By coincidence, he had been about to head planet side. Hinata sighs and stares directly into the screen.]

We're above a planet. Whether this is a program or not, I really dion't want to have this conversation like this. Ask what you want about where we are now. The rest you ask planet side. Face to face. That fine with you?

[He isn't going to let Komaeda control the talk this time. Avoiding him would do just that.]

[ He doesn't listen to most of this. (Sorry, Komaeda. It's him. Not you.) But he hears TV and that catches his attention. ]

What is your favorite TV show?

We survived, no thanks to you! What the hell were you thinkin' with that plan?! Do you even know how much trouble ya caused us? I oughta snap you in half!

[ ...And there's the threats. ]

[He wants to ignore it. Really, really wants to. He's upset and confused, and the "orientation" process didn't do anything except make both of those things worse. The idea of adding "dealing with Komaeda in any capacity" on top of all that is just, like. Hard fucking pass.

(That, and seeing Komaeda's face on the screen is uncomfortable and unsettling, too reminiscent of another video and another message.)

But he knows ignoring it would be irresponsible, and so here he is, scowling when the feed clicks on. Getting them all back eventually was always the goal, that's true, but he's not about to pretend he didn't have an order of preference, or that Komaeda was ever at the top of it.]


Yeah, no shit. If you're wanting a decent explanation from them, you better be ready to wait a long fucking time.

[there might be some residual anger there. maybe. a little.]

... Maybe, but this is reality.

[ This isn't a game, even if Nanami was just part of a game to begin with. ]

I don't know where Nanami-san is right now... since we're not always together. But she's either on the ship or on the planet. I can go ask if you'd like, unless she ends up seeing this and replies herself.

[It hasn't even been five minutes and he already wonders why he's making this effort.] I'd rather talk about our world business in person. It only involves us. It's not going to be dangerous.

[He could shut this feed but he has to understand just what Komaeda had been thinking before.]

But if you to ask everyone else about this fleet and what little is known, I won't stop you. But I still want to talk to you.
