Intro Overflow from May

[boldsimplicity]

Makoto Naegi

[boldsimplicity]

[He noticeably deflates when Naegi tells him that Oowada isn't here, causing the temperature to dip slightly. Ah... to think that they have been separated so quickly after they just formed their manly bond! It's truly frustrating! But as upsetting as it may be, Ishimaru knows that their bond won't be broken, even if years go by! He will be always be happy to greet his brother, whenever he sees him again.

Hopefully soon rather than later, though!

Ishimaru notices the light dimming around his classmate, but he doesn't think too much about it yet. Surely Naegi is upset that his bro isn't here either! It's a feeling he can truly understand.]

Ah... it seems that you miss her. Do not worry, we'll surely reunite with her and the others!

[With him, Naegi, Asahina, and Hagakure here, surely they can figure something out to rescue the remaining students! They are away from the school now, so there are plenty of opportunities! This is a big city and so many resources--

--That rising energy deflates completely when their dead classmates are brought up.

Ishimaru looks pained and tears begin to develop in his eyes, unable to stop himself from remembering how awful each of their deaths were. It's all seriously messed up!]

T-they can appear?! Enoshima-kun, Maizono-kun, and Kuwata-kun... how's that possible?!

Maya Fey

[boldsimplicity]

Ngh...!

[How could he forget that! But wait, why is he being blamed?! That fire happened so suddenly!]

I-I'm the one responsible for that fire?! But it suddenly came from nowhere and the last time I checked, causing things to instantaneously combust is not part of my skill set!

[As if to prove a point, he stares intensely at the charred remains, trying to will them to start burning again. But nothing happens.]

Komaru Naegi

[boldsimplicity]

Still my classmate?

[Ishimaru looks surprised by her words. All of this is truly strange, especially with the whole 'people are here from different time periods' bit. How is such a thing possible?! Well, there's plenty to look into later on!

However, that small detail about Naegi being his classmate is what catches his attention the most right now.]

Ah, I apologize, but I must ask you to clarify on that! Do you mean that we leave the school and continue to work for our future?!

Hizumi Mizushiro

[boldsimplicity]

S-SUSPENDED?!?!

[They've reached the true horror now. Ishimaru has never faced such a terrible dilemma as this! The killing game has nothing on this.]

I-I can't afford to be suspended and miss class! I'll become a dunce in no time without a place to learn!!

[Of course, there's no school to be suspended from here. That point has not hit him yet.]

THE FORBIDDEN ONE

[boldsimplicity]

I do not consider you to be pure evil! However, know that I will stop you from doing any heinous crimes as well! We may be allies, but I will not simply look the other way if you should use your powers for evil!

[This is very important! Monokuma may be the worst, but other crimes can't be ignored still!]

Yes, I am! [Ahh, so Naegi-kun and Kirigiri-kun are here?! He must find them soon and form an alliance!] I'm sure they have mentioned that three of our classmates have died!

voice msg; aug 30th, for a FTE on aug 31

[universalboy]

Hey, senpai. I know you're not doing too great, especially with what's happened. You wanna come out for lunch with me tomorrow?

[boldsimplicity]

[Ishimaru is a little surprised to be getting a message, but he answers the ping and listens to Takuto's inquiry. Ah, it would be pleasant to spend a lunch with his underclassman! The only true way to combat those horrible memories is to make new good ones, right? Pushing those bad ones to the back of his mind can only get him so far, so if he has more happy things to draw from...

Even if he's not completely over what's happened, Ishimaru is slowly feeling a little bit more like himself.]

Lunch? I don't see why not! Where do you wish to meet?

sept 14

[universalboy]

Hi Ishimaru-senpai!
I know things are kind of weird with us right now. I dunno how I keep doing this stuff. So it's cool if you decline.
Some friends of mine are big into the 'bathhouse hangout' stuff, so I'm trying to gather some people to come with.
Consider yourself invited!

[boldsimplicity]

Dear Takuto-san,

I happily accept your invitation! A bond forged in the depths of a bathhouse is one that lasts forever! Nothing can break it! To form that connection, I look forward to being naked with you, we'll at last bare our souls to one another!

early oct (whoops)

[universalboy]

[ After much delay and housecleaning, Takuto did indeed go and collect senpai for bathhouse time. And by collect, he did eventually climb down the side of the house, almost fall, swing gracefully and land on his feet. Like a redheaded cat. Only he was more of a puppy, overall.

The egg smell was pretty rancid, so this was a nice way to cleanse. ]

I'll... behave this time.

[boldsimplicity]

[SO DANGEROUS... next time, he's going to make sure that Takuto takes the proper steps in climbing roofs. He saw that slip! Things could've ended far worse for him!

He let his thoughts be known to Takuto as they enter the bathhouse, only stopping his lecturing when he hears his comment.]

...Ah, I trust you. As we established before, you were under the influence of this city! [He at least wants to trust Takuto, he's one of his friends.]

Multiple days after the initial mental breakdown on the network

[universalboy]

Are you there? Just checking in. I hope you're okay.

[ Even if he never gets an answer, he still tries. Every day. ]

[boldsimplicity]

[For now, Ishimaru doesn't answer any messages, mostly because he's been Ultra Focused on changing the future.]

Mystery Gift - November.

[empc]

[ When Ishimaru wakes, he will find that his crystal is glowing! His emotion drops for the month of Octha have resonated with Empatheias' giant crystal, and a reaction has been formed.

By his feet, he will find a small box! It's a candle making set. If and when he makes candles and lights them up, the scent the candles make will remind him of his family and his mother's cooking.

Christmas gift

[seasaltkeys]

[Ishimaru receives a mug with a constellation design and is filled with things like tea and hot chocolate.]

MESSENGER BIRD - 24/12.

[schmisse]

[ Special delivery!

Ishimaru will receive a daily organiser. The card that comes with it merely reads "I would suggest you write one thing you're grateful for and one thing you look forward to each day. Merry Christmas, Ishimaru." in neat cursive. There's a stamp of a blue snowflake at the bottom of the card, though. That might give him a clue as to who the gift is from. ]

12/25; messenger bird

[novility]

[ On the day of Christmas day, a bird flies over to Ishimaru, bringing him a neatly wrapped present dressed up in red paper. Inside there's a messenger bag and a hand-knitted red scarf made to look like his arm band. Inside, there's a note tucked in with his presents. ]

Merry Christmas, Ishimaru-san! May you have the grandest holiday.

From, Sonia Nevermind

12/25

[unfairest_ofthemall]

[Another present at his door! Inside is a 2018 calendar, a notebook made for organization, pens and pencils of all varieties, and a small cherry pie. Yum.

Card, in elegant cursive handwriting!]

Merry Christmas, Ishimaru! The next year will be super safe with the two of us working together!

Love,
Apple White.

Mystery Gift - December.

[empc]

[ When Ishimaru wakes, he will find that his crystal is glowing! His emotion drops for the month of Ennea have resonated with Empatheias' giant crystal, and a reaction has been formed.

He will feel that his feet are warmer than usual. It's because he's now wearing comfy bedroom slippers! They feel great on his feet, and they seem to boost his appreciation for all things so long as he has them on.

(Thank you for submitting to the Emotion Tracker!) ]

12/25 which is totally not late

[oratorical]

[Inside a neatly-wrapped box, with a card indicating it's from Leia, Ishimaru will find an assortment of chocolates and a book on the political history of Verens. Based on some of their other conversations, it's a book she thought Ishimaru would enjoy, or at least get some use out of.]

voice. backdated to 22/02

[schmisse]

[ Ishimaru definitely cheered Weiss up yesterday and helped set things into perspective. When she went back "home" to the house she and the other kids from Remnant stay in, the learned the truth as to what happened. She wasn't-- She didn't die! It was such good news that she went to see Zero that night.

She knows where he lives, after all. Ishimaru's address is not something she knows... but there's telepathy, at least! But this is new she can't say through telepathy. She has to meet him. And so, she transmits a message his way. Hopefully he's not busy this morning (7am)! ]

Hey, Ishimaru? Are you available to see me today?

voice;

[boldsimplicity]

[He's a little surprised to hear from Weiss again so soon, but he's nonetheless happy. She sounds better than yesterday, that's for sure! Maybe she and her friends had that good cry together and strengthened their womanly bonds!! Or something like that... he'll admit he's no expert on that!

He is definitely no girl, but perhaps she wants to talk about it more with him still? He's not sure, but Ishimaru is definitely up to discussing. Even if she sounds better, he always believed that seeing someone in person is the best option.]

A fine morning to you, Ms. Schnee. But yes, I am available to see you! Where would you like to meet?

[Voice] Backdated to 8/14, the latest.

[pseudobelle]

[Michelle was about to congratulate Ishimaru for acquiring the sword but boy was she surprised when he was suddenly attacked! By the time she arrived at the scene she noticed she already had help then, so slinked back into the sidelines to watch until the end. And during that end, decided to follow up later.]

Ah- Hello? Ishimaru? Are you there?

voice;

[boldsimplicity]

[By now, Ishimaru is all bandaged and he just completed the task, acquiring a staff in return. He wanted a weapon to defend himself, but nothing that can stab people. It just doesn't feel right to him.]

Michelle? Yes, I am here! It's been a long time since I've last heard from you, but it's good to hear your voice once more! Is there something I can do for you?

12/25

[earphoned]

[ Minato remembers Ishimaru's fondness of spooky ghosts, so this season he wants to continue the spooky trend. That's exactly why on the 25th, Ishimaru will find a box with a ghost plush toy and a note inside.

Boo. Happy holidays. M. ]

12/25

[ryuwrighthistory]

[Ishimaru will find a gift wrapped in a furoshiki in his mailbox. Inside is a red and white patterned scarf, some homemade red bean mochi and green tea leaves. The tea leaves gave off a hint of peppermint. A card is attached to the gift.]

Merry Christmas, Ishimaru!

Thank you for taking the time to get me into a training routine and working out with me. If you're ever in need of a good pick me up, the tea has properties that will give you happy feelings when you drink it. ~ Naruhodou

12/25

[oathkeeper]

[On Christmas Day there is a delivery of a small gold-colored tin filled with shortbread cookies. There is a tiny holiday card included.]

Ishimaru,

A little sugary start for you for this holiday season!

Merry Christmas!
