[ this is like......... how a james bond villain tries to kill the hero. it's literally just that and honestly, if naegi wasn't the one strapped above the tank, he would have laughed at how cheesy this was. but no, he's hung upside down here and he's not laughing. he's having a heart attack. ]
Wh-- What is this?!
[ oh my goddddd but okay before anything else... he's gotta make sure that daisuke is awake and ready to FREAK OUT WITH HIM ]
[ Daisuke is hanging upside down too, but a bit far from Naegi. He is also wrapped in the same manner, dangling from the ceiling. ]
I'm fine... Let's try not to move too much or we might fall in.
[ Daisuke isn't an escape artist (yet), but he tries to think of ways to escape. While he's doing that, a person, covered in an all black cloth with a mask (similar to no face) walks near the pit and looks up at them both.
[ naegi agrees with daisuke not moving around too much but he has absolutely no idea how they're going to get out of this. he definitely can't do an upside pull-up like all the protags do in this scenario. he can barely do a proper pull-up... but his thoughts of escape are quickly stopped once no face comes out and ruins everything ]
[ no-face here is going to walk towards the crane handle that will supposedly drop one of the two boys into the pool of piranhas, if not, getting smashed up by spiky metal smashers first.
Daisuke has been contemplating on escape, but his ideas keep ending up as failures. After a bit, he quietly says: ]
... I'm not going to let you fall in.
should just link this thread in lieu of a personality section for naegi's app
[ naegi has been desperately looking around the entire room to find any way that they could get out. his heart is pounding but he doesn't go into a cold sweat until he hears daisuke ]
What?
[ he looks at daisuke, staring in disbelief for a split second before he starts shaking his head ]
No. No way! Daisuke, we're going to get out of this!
good references. add the flustered ones too for extra measures
[ He looks down at the pit. Daisuke has thought of something, but it's a bit risky. Normally, he would love to play it safe, but this isn't the kind of situation that allows that. His hands start working their magic behind him where nobody can see as he grabs onto a strand of the ribbon that's wrapped around him. ]
honestly should add our current inbox thread, starting from daisuke 'i kissed a girl in bed' niwa
[ when daisuke asks, naegi goes silent and he pauses. of course he trusts daisuke! but in a scenario like this? where daisuke is pretty much saying that he'd sacrifice himself to save naegi? but... if daisuke has a plan or is asking naegi to trust him... ]
... I trust you.
along with makoto "handholding with sparkles is my aspiration" naegi
[ It is time to put those phantom thief skills to the test! He eyes No Face over there and declares: ]
I'm going to be the one that falls. Drop me.
"As you wish, reckless one."
[ As promised, the ribbon cuts at the top, dropping Daisuke. However, the cut ribbon makes leeway for loosening the entire cocoon with Daisuke's quick thinking with his hands and he ends up untying the ribbon completely.
After he falls to a certain point, he quickly grabs onto the ledge of the pit and pulls himself off with no time to waste.
No-face has obviously seen this, so it cuts Naegi's ribbon too, dropping him. However, Daisuke runs forward and dives across the pit, grabbing Naegi in the process. It's a wonder how they didn't fall in when they met midair. Well, Naegi is still in a cocoon for now. With that, no-face disappears.
Daisuke's heart is pounding. He can't believe that worked, but it definitely worked. ]
[ naegi's hands tighten into fists. he's never been one to resort straight to violence but... ]
But why?! Daisuke hasn't done anything wrong!
[ as far as to naegi's knowledge but he trusts daisuke. he knows daisuke is innocent!! (haha just wait until he learns about all that phantom thief nonsense) ]
[ It's a tone that drips with utmost bitterness and hatred as his hands move to Daisuke's neck in an attempt to strangle him. Daisuke tries his best to pry his hands off, but he's surprisingly strong for a stick boy? ]
"You'd want him dead too, if you knew what he has done."
[ His golden eyes shine dangerously like a predator about to kill its prey, and his glare is directed right at Naegi. There aren't any lasers or anything yet, as though the choking will be enough. ]
[ and when the stalker moves his hands to choke daisuke, this is when naegi moves forward. ]
H-Hold on! Wait!
[ he'll try to take hold of the stalker's arms because look, he can't just stand here while he watches daisuke get choked. his strength might be nothing to write home to but he has to at least try or be a distraction or something ]
[ It doesn't look like the stalker is listening at all, going crazy with glee over the fact that Daisuke might die by his hands. Daisuke is fighting so hard not to let that happen, and he mouths over to Naegi to stand back. ]
[ naegi is hesitant to move back, to just leave daisuke alone, but this friendship is all about TRUST so if daisuke tells him to... naegi will do exactly just that. he'll let go of the stalker's arms and take two steps back ]
[ Daisuke usually isn't the kind of person to get violent, but his life is at stake here. His regret would have been that he hasn't tried his hardest. That's why he swings his foot back really hard to attack Krad's leg and jabs his shoulder with his elbow. Krad is surprised momentarily, weakening his grip on Daisuke. He takes that chance to get free, sprints ahead, grabbing Naegi's hand on the way, and he is running for their lives now.
Or at least, as much as he can anyway. His lungs feel like they're about to explode with the amount of running, adrenaline flowing, and the fact that he was just choked so it makes breathing even harder. He feels like he's going to pass out at any minute.
He just hopes they're close to home somehow by the time he feels like he can't run anymore. ]
[ naegi doesn't need to be pulled for more than a second before he catches up and eventually starts to lead. he doesn't know where he's going, not with all this thick fog, but by some great amount of luck, they eventually find themselves right outside their apartment building. naegi throws open the front doors and starts pulling daisuke through ]
We're almost here, Daisuke!
[ he has absolutely no idea if the stalker can follow them here inside the building but he doesn't want to risk it. they're going to run all the way upstairs (elevators always end poorly in horror movies) until they're home ]
[ Good thing they're both somewhat horror savvy enough not to take the elevator. Daisuke wastes no time in unlocking the door with his key. Good thing he has it this time. When he opens the door, the first thing he does is take off his shoes and plop on the beanbag chair face first.
Krad doesn't seem to have followed them with how quiet it is outside. ]
[ she's turned to respond, but her left wrist is too near to the chair - a shackle snaps out from the armchair and locks around her wrist, dragging her closer.
[ naegi reaches out and immediately grabs onto her right hand and wrist, trying to keep her still or drag her back. it's clearly just... going to be a tug-o-war match but will he win?? ]
[ thanks kodaka............ naegi does eventually lose his grip on her and he's about to honestly run after her towards the chair, trying to see if there's some way he could get that shackle off her left wrist but then she tells him to get back and he stops ]
But--!
[ he can't just stand here while who knows what will happen to her! ]
[ ??????????? how do you not speak in cryptic shit, sounds fake???? ]
It's just a dream. If it's a dream, isn't there an easy way to end portions of it? Following the rules for "escape" in the last section wasn't viable, because neither of us was going to "graduate"...but following this dream to the end is a little easier.
[ and look at that. the dream is helpfully providing her with gasoline to douse herself with. ]

i still cant get over that picture in this entry

It speaks with a voice similar to this: ]
"Choose amongst yourself as to who will fall in or both will fall."
it's naegi 24/7 tbh he can't do anything on his own (see this thread)
What?! You're kidding me!
