[ naegi follows in afterwards and... yeah, this is pretty creepy. he immediately reaches into his pocket to pull out his phone to turn on its flashlight. ]
... my phone battery is at 18% so I don't know how long it'd last.
[ He quickly enters the combination and opens the locker. It has books, notebooks... the usual stuff. He gets out a posterboard though. How did that even fit in his dinky locker... who knows? ]
I know I was feeling pretty desperate, but it still feels wrong to sneak into school...
[ Daisuke isn't the type of person that gets fidgety about the mere mention of horror, but with the environment being like this, he can't help but wonder.... it is pretty spooky here. ]
Ahaha... It's not like some clowns are gonna jump out of nowhere and kidnap us. Or maybe even the wildcat mascot?
Though I do feel more like a criminal... but it was for the best!
[ can't wait until naegi remembers being trapped in a murder school and this becomes an uncomfortable moment ]
Well, as long as no one knows about this then I think we'll be okay. [ they really don't need to deal with any security guards or cops ] Will you have enough time to finish your project when we get back?
Yeah, for sure. If there's anything art classes taught me, it's that I can definitely tell when I can make it in time for my deadline or not.
[ And from watching Naegi's suffering, but he doesn't need to go there today. ] It shouldn't be that hard... It's mostly cutting and pasting stuff on this posterboard.
[ !!! those def sound like footsteps, holy shit, this really is turning into a horror movie. ]
--is someone else here?!
[ in low whisper and no shit but oh man oh man okay he just cups the flashlight on his phone, preventing the beam of light from going any further than a step away from them ]
[ The light from the moon shines through the windows after being uncovered by the clouds, peeking into the hallway of numerous lockers. Daisuke squints to see if there's anyone there, but he doesn't see anything. ]
We should get out of here before someone sees us--
[ the footsteps are coming from the direction they came in so they gotta go the other way. naegi will let daisuke go first since he's gotta be!! the big bro!! but also, it's been a while since he's been back in this school, he might not remember its layout as well as he does ]
[ At first, Daisuke is confused. Naegi yells "this way", so he expected Naegi to lead, but when it looks like he, himself, has to lead, he'll just grab onto Naegi's hand and runs for it with the posterboard in the other hand. Since he still regularly attends school, it's very easy for him to figure out where he's going, even though it's dark. The light from Naegi's phone does help though, even if it isn't pointed in the right direction from time to time (probably).
He eventually makes it to where they came from, the window. They had to take a long way around because the the directions the footsteps were coming from were completely blocking the shorter route. At least they made it. Daisuke shoves the posterboard out the window, almost flinging it if there was more room. ]
Come on...! I don't think we have time to close the window!
[ naegi nods in agreement and he's scrambling out the window. in fact, he is in such a crazy frenzy to get out that he actually trips and lands face first into the ground but the adrenaline is pumping through him so it doesn't really hurt. ]
Let's go...!
[ he'll get back up to help daisuke through the window and make sure that he doesn't trip as well. better hurry because oh god those footsteps are getting closer, aren't they?? ]
[ Yup, they're getting closer and closer. It's actually a wonder as to why it hasn't sped up. It can probably hear them both because the boys aren't exactly being quiet either.
With Naegi's help, Daisuke makes it out the window easily and he scoops up the poster board from the ground. Time to make a break for it...! He makes sure to see that Naegi is ready to run and holds his hand before... pretty much running for their lives. ]
[ they can run for a few blocks until they feel like they're safe. just know that naegi is super unathletic and look at him, he's pathetic. he will just die once they finally stop ]
[ naegi puts a hand on daisuke's shoulder to stand back up properly as he tries to take deep breaths and places his other hand on his chest to make sure that it doesn't explode ]

Thanks. I'll lead the way.
[ He takes care not to trip when he goes inside.
... The school is pitch dark. No emergency lights or anything. ]
no subject
... my phone battery is at 18% so I don't know how long it'd last.
[ they better get in and out soon ]
no subject
[ His phone battery is also low though. Luckily enough, his locker really is nearby and he crouches down since it's a bottom locker. ]
Can you shine the light here?
no subject
[ he does exactly what daisuke asks him to do, pointing the flashlight down at the locker ]

Is it some kind of display?
no subject
Alright, let's get outta here. It shouldn't be too hard to leave this school. Just gotta go back to where we came from--
[ In the distance, there are footsteps. ]

Good thing our house isn't so far... let me help you.

Thanks... is your poster board okay?
no subject
[ What is this... good luck?! Something good happened?! Well, Daisuke will be sure to relish in the moment for now. ]
Do you think you're going to need another heat pad?
no subject
Maybe...
[ either the heat pad or those sticky cool pain relief patches... ]
I'm only 20. I don't know if I should getting back pain already.

Maybe we should look into a chiropractor... I heard it has long lasting effects on our backs.
