afterliving | [Action]

[It was over.]

[After so many years of fighting, it was finally over. He'd said his painful goodbyes, managed not to cry, closed his eyes and...]

[...woke up on the sidewalk.]

[The campus was buzzing with activity, the students recently liberated from classes for lunch. The NPCs carefully walked around him as he lay on the ground, staring vacantly at the sky as he came to his senses. The fog over his mind cleared gradually, becoming aware of an unshakable sense of déjà vu descending upon him. The dark color of his jacket caught his peripheral vision, slowly sitting up in order to look down at himself. This uniform... he wasn't wearing this one a moment ago. In fact, he hadn't worn this particular uniform since...]

[Is this..?]

[He sat up sharply, as if jolted out of a deep sleep, scrutinizing the details of the uniform jacket he wore. It was the same one. There was no question.]

[...No way. That means..!?]

THE GAME RESETS!?

[His theatrical screaming could likely be heard from a great many places across the campus, drawing as much attention to himself as could be expected.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Cue the biggest eyeroll ever. Great. it's one of Yuri's idiots.]

No shit I'm human. And no. I have no interest in taking orders from her.

[why look, he even managed not to refer to her as a magenta-haired bitch like usual.]

[Alright, so this one was a little unfiendl-]

[Wait. Her.]

[Hinata gives him a look somewhere between quizzical and utterly baffled, trying to figure out how he would possibly be able to defy her if the battlefront hadn't even been formed yet!]

You... you already know Yurippe? [Because how is that possible, the poor thing looks so lost.]

What are you talking about? She's been around since forever.

So you... know Yurippe already.

[This didn't add up, and trying to figure it out was making his head hurt. Unbeknownst to him, he was making himself look like the dullest knife in the drawer that was the SSS, and it was full of morons already.]

[It probably wasn't improving the grumpy-guy's opinion of Yuri and her idiots, either.]

So... she's probably tried to recruit you, which means... I'm late..?

[He's mostly talking to himself by the end there, theoretical smoke almost visible coming from his ears as he thought about this way too hard.]

Why the hell are you asking me? Did you get swallowed up by shadows and only just get spat out by them again or some stupid shit like that?

[Shadows!? Oh no... He really was late.]

[But hold on. Was he really reset to the beginning then? Or had he jut been taken back to when the shadows attacked? That wouldn't be so bad... much better than starting all over again.]

[So he had to ask...] Have you ever seen me before right now?

Absolutely never.

[Alright. Yuri was here, and Hinata had been in the afterlife with her until the moment she left it seemingly for good. He knew that much.]

[Then when he went to leave, he woke up here, and everything was different...]

[Ugh. None of this made sense.] And... how long have you been here?

How about you answer some fucking questions first, dipshit. Like who the hell you are and what this 'reset' crap you were spouting is.

[His expression soured a bit, but aside from the coarse language, he recognized that the questions themselves were valid. This guy reminded him of Fujimaki...]

Right... I'm Hinata. Who are you? [As soon as the question left his mouth, he wondered why he thought he'd get an answer, maybe he asked out of habit...]

Ah... anyway, I was here already. I mean... I left. Or I... think I did, anyway...

[His brow knits together. Where had he heard that name before? Ah. Yes. That was it.]

...So you're one of the idiots the bitch said would love to see her naked.

[leaves commenting on the rest for in a bit.]

..!?

[Whatever Hinata was expecting him to say next, it sure as hell wasn't that. He tried to come up with some kind of calm response to dismiss any notions that he was a relentless pervert, but his voice came out higher pitched and not at all calm.]

Wh-what!?

[annoyed stare]

Was she wrong?

W-well... [There was literally no right answer. Either way, he was in trouble. Realizing this, his pulse quickened, heart pounding in his ears. What a powerful adversary...]

D-don't all guys want to see n-naked girls..? [Answering a question with another question isn't going to save you now, Hinata. The trap has been set.]

[sighs the heaviest of sighs]

Not all of them. I for one couldn't give a shit about anyone naked.

[it's just the human body, what's so great about that?]

And I'm not even going to touch the fact that some guys are only interested in guys.

[well, beyond that.]

O-oh. Right. [HOW ABOUT A SUBJECT CHANGE HAHA...]

So I should p-probably go find Yurippe and find out what's going on here! H-hahaha... [It wasn't a graceful subject change, not in the least.]

Yeah. You probably should.

[makes a 'shoo' gesture with his hand]
