ding dong that is wrong (fourth wall event; anywhere, anytime)

[superordinary]

( SCENARIO A )

[ Some hooded guy is running around like a headless Torchic on X Speed. And by hooded I mean his hoodie is zipped all the way up and preventing him from seeing anything. What does this result in?

Naegi running into every possible object on Arceus's green Earth. That includes the street lights, brick walls, you, your Dialga and everything else. He'd pull the zipper down if he could but the powers that be makes it impossible because they don't want to give him a fucking break.

Other people can pull it down for him, thankfully. But it'll inevitably zip itself back up after a while. ]

( SCENARIO B )



[ Dun dun dun. Enter the majestic beast, Monosaring. Has your life been plagued by a lack of meaningful chase scenes accompanied by appropriate music lately? Do you think you can outrun a bear?

Now here's your chance to find out! Naegi's already running as fast as his legs can possibly carry him. ]

[wrestled]

Correct. I arrived here, wherever "here" is, merely a few minutes ago. I trust your situation is quite similar?

[Since, she was just with him and the rest of their classmates outside of Hope's Peak. So obviously the same must be true for him.

...nevermind the fact that he's looking a lot less injured than she remembered.]

[superordinary]

Not quite... I've been here for almost two months. This place is called Johto.

[wrestled]

[She has no idea what the hell a "Johto" is, but that part doesn't matter. Frankly, she's more concerned about the "almost two months" thing.]

I...see...

[Although judging by the look on her face, she's having a hard time believing it. But this IS Naegi we're talking about, he wouldn't lie to her.

...not that he COULD. You don't have to be Celes to see right through this protag.]

[superordinary]

Um, I understand if you don't believe it... but it's the truth.

[wrestled]

It...is rather difficult to believe, yes, but...I cannot doubt you, Naegi. Two months passing would certainly explain why your injuries have healed.

[superordinary]

Eh? My...injuries? [ The look on his face is basically saying "What". ]

[wrestled]

Yes. The injuries you received from pushing Ikusaba of the way of Monobear's attack. Do you not recall this?

[superordinary]

N-no... [ He shakes his head. ] I don't remember anything like that happening, Oogami-san.

[wrestled]

With her help, as well as your own, we were able to escape from the Mastermind's clutches unscathed. I am finding it...difficult to believe that you of all people would not recall such important events.

[superordinary]

...How? I'm sorry, Oogami-san, but none of the things you're saying makes sense. It couldn't have happened. Mukuro Ikusaba is dead. [ You're dead, he adds, but only in his own thoughts. ]
