[Open Log] I end up holding onto those dreams

[hopelesslyaverage]

WHO: Makoto Naegi & anyone
WHAT: Makoto returns after dying and canon updating
WHEN: Evening of August 2nd onwards
WHERE: Winter Flower Yard, Welcome Center
WARNINGS: possible death talk, killing game talk, descriptions crazy despair in the threads (will add to headers when necessary)


Winter Flower yard: Closed to Mukuro (corpsewarblade)

After his unfortunate death against his Ultimate Despair Reflection, Naegi was sent to his flower to revive. Instead of just a peaceful rest, his mind was experiencing his future. Leaving Hope's Peak Academy, joining the Future Foundation. Dealing with the Remnants of Despair. Facing Junko again, even if she was just a computer program.

If that wasn't enough, he was forced into another killing game. Another desperate fight between hope and despair. Hope won, even if it came with great sacrifices.

Even if a long time went by at home, only three whole days go by while he's in the giant White Iris. Now Naegi is ready to come out. He's wearing the white clothes that he had in the beginning and looks healthy, even if a little older.



Welcome Center

After a few days of getting his thoughts in order, consoling Mukuro and making sure his Pokémon were alright, Naegi returns to the Welcome Center. It felt weird, now, coming back with what he has experienced so much. At the same time it was also soothing to be able to just go back to working with Ellipsa things again.

It's very likely to find Naegi reading some files or writing some notes -- basically doing some boring, mundane things. But if anyone walks into the lobby he looks up with a smile.

"Welcome."



Wildcard

Naegi will most likely reach out to his CR to just ask them how they're doing or just talk in general, grateful for their existence here. If you want to discuss a custom thread, you can poke me through DMs, through the Seasons Unofficial Discord or sasageyo!

[Now that she mentiones it, there were quite a few parties going on. He did hear something about the world being better now, even if he had yet to ask about details due to overhwelming.]

Unfortunately, yes. I had an unfortunate encounter with my reflection. I'm fine now, though.

[roundandaround]

I don't think dying is fine! Are you really okay? Do you need stuff? I don't actually know what you do when someone dies and comes back, with Neechan I just hugged her a lot and gave her something I was gonna give her anyway and then got her a pizza...

[hopelesslyaverage]

Uh, no, dying's not fine, but I meant I'm physically okay. Mentally... well, I went home and have a lot of things to sort through along with what happened that caused my death.

I wouldn't say no to pizza though.

[roundandaround]

It sounds like a lot of stuff happened, huh... I can come to get you wherever you are, though! If pizza will help, then that's what we can do!

[hopelesslyaverage]

[Well, it will help his hunger, at least.]

I'm currently finishing up some paperwork at the Welcome Center.

[roundandaround]

Coming!!

[Rinku does run in within the next 15 minutes, with Mecchan perched on her shoulder clinging tightly. After having run around asking, she finds his office and knocks.]

Makoto-kun! This one's yours, right?

[hopelesslyaverage]

Come in, it's open.

[He finishes up a few documents before starting to organize them.]

It's good to see you again, Rinku-chan.

[roundandaround]

[Rinku comes in with a wave. She pauses, blinks, and tilts her head.]

Uh... Did you get way older? Can that happen? It was just a couple days here...

[hopelesslyaverage]

Oh... I went home while I was in the flower. Apparently that's something that happens.

[roundandaround]

But you went home for that long?! That must've been years!
