she's carrying the carton and raps on the door politely even though it is a well-known fact she can let herself in. ]

[ I STILL NEED TO SUBMIT MY REGAIN SO I WILL HAVE TO DO THAT TOMORROW but in the meanwhile, naegi will open the front door, already up and ready to go!!!! though he'd love to sleep in a bit more... ]
Morning, Kyouko.
[ he'll greet her with a smile and stand to the side to let her in. welcome to the empty apartment where the only furniture in the entire place (asides from daisuke and naegi's rooms) is a nice oak table and chairs... and a random beanbag chair for some reason???? ]

[ He's been unsure the whole day ever since he saw that information post online. It's like he only ate the fruit of knowledge several days ago and suddenly he's having an existential crisis. He's pretty uncomfortable and has been mostly freaking out internally. It doesn't help that school just started too.
Daisuke knocks on the door to Makoto's room. ]
It's Daisuke... I want to talk to you about something.

It's Daisuke... I want to talk to you about something.
[ Naegi has actually been scrolling through that post on his laptop just before Daisuke knocked on his door. Since talking to Kirigiri and Byakuya, he's been determined to gather as much information as he possibly could about the network, but that post... it's definitely a lot to take in. He was so absorbed into it that he nearly jumps out of his seat when he hears the knock, but he gets up and opens the door, leaving the page open on the screen. ]
Hey Daisuke, what is it?
[ He'll move to let Daisuke in the room so they can talk and all. ]

[ and here's lelouch, bringing a Tupperware container of food that is not quite leftovers that is also totally not a pity lunch bribe - listen, he can also be a Good Person - and he's just going to ring the doorbell.
ring ring! ]

[ Lelouch being a Good Person. Seems fake but ok. Naegi goes to open the door (after he and Daisuke finally got back in!!) and... ]
Lelouch? What are you doing here?
Lelouch? What are you doing here?
[ Maybe they're just cursed.
Being locked out of the apartment isn't anything new by any means, but with Daisuke's recent memory, it looked like he knew how to pick locks. Electronic ones even. What's unfortunate is that he doesn't know how that even works. Maybe it's magic, btu it certainly didn't feel like magic. Hell, if maid birds were real, magic doesn't sound too far off anyway.
He slumps against the nearby wall with his bag and sighs. ]
Wanna play a game?

[ naegi has just learned to accept that they might as well make this hallway their second home after how often they get locked out and have to set up camp here. he has sat on the floor beside their door so many times that the carpet is just worn down here. it's that bad. ]
Sure. What do you have in mind?

Two others?

[ why can't she be more specific........ ]
[ It's a good thing this took place several days after the party to wait for Naegi's back to stop being sore, because Daisuke told Naegi that he needed help going back to Recolle High. Desperate times call for desperate measures, especially when an important piece of his project was left behind at his locker on the last day before it's due.
But they're here now, standing before the school. ]
I'm glad it doesn't have a fence...

Good morning.

Kind of, yeah.
My eyes and hair colour changed a few days ago as well.

[ It's been a long past... several days. Honestly, it's when he realized that he didn't have his phone with him that made his heart sink. Reality hit him in the face when he glanced at the calendar in Akira's house after he woke up.
And now he's here, in front of the doorstep. There's nothing in his pockets. His shirt is different than the one he wore before, because he threw it in the trash. Nobody needs to see a bloody person walking in the streets.
He raises his right hand at the doorknob and picks the lock with ease. Thanks, other self. Anyway, he opens the door and hopes Naegi is out or something. ]
... I'm home...
[ He quietly breathes out when he sees Naegi there. ]

[ He quietly breathes out when he sees Naegi there. ]
[ these past few days haven't been easy on naegi either. asides from dealing with these weird nightmares and everything out in the fog, nothing caused more fear and panic in naegi's heart than realizing that daisuke has suddenly disappeared. at first, naegi thought that daisuke was just running late, maybe out with some friends or studying at the library, but when he didn't come home that night, that's when naegi decided to go out looking for him. daisuke is far too responsible and thoughtful to just suddenly not come back without letting naegi know one way or another so something must have happened and naegi had to go out to find him. after all, how could he stay at home when daisuke is probably somewhere out there? and might be in trouble? he couldn't so for the past few days and nights that daisuke has been missing, naegi has been out, trying to find him through the thick fog. but unfortunately, in all those times he went out, he always came back fruitless and sometimes, in worse conditions than he left home in. ]
[ this was one of those times. sitting at the dining table with a small first-aid kit open in front of him, naegi carefully wraps bandaids around his fingers and palms. he's just about done putting the last bandaid on his thumb when he hears the door open and his head snaps around. ]
--Daisuke...!
[ he nearly knocks the chair behind him as he jumps out of it and runs over to the other boy, immediately pulling him into a tight hug one-armed hug ]
You-- Where have you been? Are you hurt?
[ he asks while still holding on ]

[ Naegi will find himself waking up in a room and on a bed that isn't his. It's actually extremely cushiony, which really says something about their actual quality of life at home. And it's so comfortable that it makes it harder to leave the bed.
At least, until someone barges into the room with a girl? It looks like it's Daisuke, but he has a completely different expression that he normally doesn't have--something that's usually worn by playboys. With him is a literal faceless girl that likes to giggle. ]
Hey, why are you sleeping in my room?
[ There's an annoyed tone to it as Daisuke looks down at Makoto on the bed. ]

[ naegi doesn't even remember falling asleep but he's having the best kind of sleep ever. this bed isn't as hard as his mattress (he's gotten used to it) and everything is so warm... he really doesn't want to leave it and he doesn't realize that anything is wrong, not even when daisuke(?) comes up to him and speaks to him ]
Daisuke...?
[ he still sounds half-asleep because he is. he barely has his eyes open and he's still wrapped up in the really warm and comfy blanket but he does make an attempt to roll around so he can at least face daisuke while talking ]
Is... is this your room?

- 2017-10-29 18:00 (UTC) - Expand[ It's a Saturday morning. The air feels nice and cool. Their apartment doesn't need heating yet, because it's at a comfortable level of tolerance. Naegi would probably be up first when he sees a yawning Daisuke come out of his room.
Today is Daisuke's turn to cook breakfast, but he doesn't seem to be making his way to the kitchen? Instead, he just stands in the middle of the spacious living room and plops on the beanbag chair. ]

[ as much as naegi would love to sleep in on a saturday, he's so used to getting up early for work or school that his body doesn't let him sleep in anymore. so, he's just out in the living room, sitting at the dining table with his laptop and just lazily browsing the web when he spots daisuke coming out. ]
Morning, Daisuke.
Morning, Daisuke.
[ After seeing the network post, Daisuke makes an effort to find Naegi;s phone too. He looks all around the house, since Naegi seemed to cover his own room. After some thorough searching, he knocks on the door.
It's weird how Naegi losing his phone is in some sense normal, in comparison to everything that isn't normal like Daisuke getting the app back again, therefore, regaining all his abnormality all along with it.
Like his blasted white hair. ]
Makoto? Did you find it yet?

Makoto? Did you find it yet?
[ it really does seem to be some sort of strange that his phone keeps disappearing on its own. it's kind of like it grows its own legs and tries to escape every single time, and with all the weird things happening in recolle, naegi wouldn't be really surprised if that really was the truth. he has practically torn through his room trying to find it but luckily for him, kyouko is nice enough to try and call it for him. he's actually halfway under the bed, hand on the phone, when he hears daisuke asking him about it through the door ]
Yeah, just got it! Kyouko called it for m--

[ Manon knows.
Manon knows all.
...
Just kidding--but she does know Naegi's birthday. And she doesn't have anything else to do, so she might as well do something fun? They're not exactly friends and she's been meaning to go to a bar soon anyway.
Manon slipped a paper notice under Naegi's door and basically dingdong ditched before Naegi could see her. It tells him to go to the general vicinity of where the bar is around 10 PM.
Because she will be there waiting.
And waiting. ]

[ this is the sketchiest note ever... like really, who would actually read it out loud and go yes, i will do what this note tells me to do. go to a specific area at a specific time at night. nothing wrong with that, right? like who falls for these things? ]
[ ... naegi does, apparently ]
[ he did at least find it sketchy and was considering not going but what if it's something important? or if it's a clue? he shouldn't ignore it if there's a possibility for that... so dressed in his new winter jacket (thanks kyouko), he arrives in the area that was specified in the note at the exact time. he's nervous since he doesn't really know what to expect so his hands are in his pockets, fiddling with whatever he has in there (keys, crumbled receipt, a pen) and he shifts weight from foot to foot. he's definitely a little jittery so come to him, mysterious note writer, what do you want with him? ]

[Knock knock, Makoto! Tatsuma's dropped by between classes at a time when he's sure Naegi's also free.
What could this be about?]
What could this be about?]
[ surprisingly, naegi is actually free today. you'd think that with two~three jobs and school, he'd be busy but nope, he's got the day off. maybe they just didn't schedule him in because it's his birthday and if that's the case, that's very nice. he can just relax at home and when tatsuma knocks on his door, naegi is quick to open the door. ]
Tatsuma? What are you doing here?
[ btw naegi's answering in his winter clothes, jacket and all, because hahahaha paying for heating in the apartment, who does that?? ]

I am here. Should I be looking for a crane, or...
[ squint. ]
Nevermind. I think I see you. I have found a few different fish for your bird to try... assuming that you are taking ownership of it.
[ does he even have a choice??? still. Leon is PROBABLY hard to miss, what with wearing all black and wearing a hoodie with aforementioned hood up, and holding a plastic bag. ]

[ naegi is sitting on a bench with the crane not too far away from him. he's pretty noticeable, even without the giant bird with him. he's got an ahoge (the bane of his existence) and he's dressed in an old hoodie and jeans. there are some paint stains here and there on his clothes but most importantly... there are scraps and little bruises on his face when he was at the mercy of the bird. he really didn't have a great morning... but he keeps an eye out for leon, especially after he gets his texts and when he spots him, he gets up from his seat to approach ]
Oh, Leon, right?
[ that's the name he remembers from seeing on the network ]

hi makoto
i hope i'm not bothering you
but i was wondering if i could ask you a couple questions?
a couple questions after that last one i mean!!

I don't mind. What are your questions?
Hey, Ayano!
Yeah, I'm still around! What's up?
Yeah, I'm still around! What's up?
[ Daisuke woke up feeling abnormally hot. Like, actually hot. In truth, he was thinking about possible future dates with Chiyo and would it be romantic... Maybe they can see fireworks together at Tanabata or something? Anyway, these kinds of pure shoujo thoughts and such triggered Daisuke's now love gene that transforms him into Dark. Makes his body feel stupidly hot as if he caught a fever, but only momentarily.
It's the morning on the weekend and Daisuke feels bothered by the lingering heat, and doesn't realize that he transformed even though his purple hair is a complete mess. He's a bit half-asleep to fully notice.
He gets out of his room in his sleepwear, a t-shirt and comfortable long pants, to go for a cup of water in the kitchen. He passes by Naegi and gives a short wave as he passes by. ]
'Morning.

[ naegi was already up and dressed in the living room by the time that daisuke(?) came out of his room. even if naegi wins a lot of his money at the local casinos around the city, he still needs to have some sort of stable income coming in so he was going to head out to his job. at least that was the plan until this mysterious man came walking by. ]

[He doesn't know the other in this dream particularly well, not that it matters because, as dreams do, there's just no point to questioning the circumstances.
The circumstances in question are a puzzle escape room with dire consequences.
The only way out is the locked door in the wall of what appears to be an operating room. The operating table sits ominously at the center, complete with belts to prevent the patient from moving in any dangerous ways. A laminated sheet of paper details a list of actions that must be performed to check on the patient before the operation begins.

Not looking forward to this. What should we do first?

[ when you're in a dream, you never truly question the things around you. it's like you have a bigger suspension of disbelief and only realize that things have been really strange after you wake up. so when naegi find himself in this strange puzzle room with someone he doesn't really know, he doesn't question it. instead, he focuses on the items that he could examine. ]
Hm... don't these kinds of rooms require you to do something elaborate before you can escape?
[ that's how escape rooms are, right? rather than trying to pick the lock on the door, you have to hit some specific keys on a piano, put an anatomical model back together, and solve an upside down sudoku puzzle before you can then escape. it's never as easy as finding a key... ]
The operating table looks pretty suspicious... maybe we should look at that first.

[And somehow, Tatsuma finds himself in the middle of a murder mystery.
Every so often he has to go over the evidence again, as though trying to convince himself that this is all real. Photos of a corpse lying in a pool of blood - the guy can't be older than a high schooler. Possible murder weapons, and discussion flying past him as everyone stands in a circle at podiums, discussing their theories.
It seems at this point they've latched onto a likely culprit.]
Um... Are we sure? The paper crane wasn't well-folded...
[That was a strange thing left behind at the scene, a messily folded paper crane.]
