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. ]

Um, that thing is your Pokémon, I believe. I'm sure he's friendly! As for Monobear... I don't know why it looked like that, since he's usually a robot.... and that one looked more like a real bear...

[mechanizer]

Pokémon... Like those video games? [Oh..... He looks at Magnemite with more curiosity and confusion than fear, now.] I've worked on a few'a those cartridges, but I didn't think... [He watches Magnemite pull his security wrench out of his pocket using its magnets, looking a little awed.

...But then the synapses in his brain finally spark and his eyebrows furrow together in confusion again. Wait. Waitwaitwait.]

Hold on-- how d'you know about Monobear?

[superordinary]

[ ... ... ... ...

...It doesn't hit him until Souda asks exactly that. This guy shouldn't know about Monobear. Or rather, he shouldn't be asking this -- if he's seen the broadcast, he should know why Naegi knows about Monobear and he should've recognized him by now. ]

B...because I'm from Hope's Peak Academy.

[mechanizer]

Aaah? No way... That ain't right! Y'mean Monobear's been t'the school, too?

[Wait, but that means...] So he really did mess with our memories? Argh... I didn't want to believe it, but....

[...souda... you're probably not helping poor naegi's confusion.]

[superordinary]

[ Souda used confusion! It's super effective!! ]

Huh? I don't understand what you mean when you said he's messed with your memories...but he is at the school. He locked us up and forced us to kill each other...!

[mechanizer]

He did that t'us too! Er-- well, we ain't in Hope's Peak, we were taken to an island 'fore we got t'the school... but the killin' part's the same!

[Naegi's Synchronize activated! Souda is confused even though that technically doesn't work!!]

[superordinary]

[ Naegi tenses a little at that. ] So he's running not one, but two of his games...

[ And possibly more? What if everyone on the student roster were whisked off to various locations for Monobear's own amusement? ]

S-shit.
