genessia | Track 002 ♫ video (backdated to 15th)

Gooooooooood evening ladles and jelly-spoons! This is your Ibuki Mioda here, reporting live from - well, you'll just have to wait and see, won't you?

[Ibuki might just be in a good mood. It's not clear where she is for how close she is to the screen, though there are certain bells and whistles that anyone who's been to an arcade around here might recognise. That's probably not why she's looking so pleased with herself, though; that's coming right about now.]

Anyway, where Ibuki is right now doesn't matter. Ibuki has a huuuuuuuge announcement to make. Hold onto your hats, hold onto your seats, grab your loved ones, whatever it takes because Ibuki is not responsible for any injuries or other illnesses because people didn't prepare themselves well enough.

[She will even pause obligingly for people to ready themselves...for a few seconds.]

Okay! Ibuki won't tease any longer. You are now looking at the new hottest thing to grace this city, the rock star from the peak of hope who'll grace you all with her one true sound. Ibuki has been working hard to produce her debut album and now she's about to put on her very first show. So clear out your diaries, because the first weekend in October, Ibuki will be performing for all her loving fans!

But wait! That's not all! Because Ibuki's moving houses too, and at first she thought, wouldn't a housewarming be neat? But then Ibuki thought, wouldn't it be even better to turn her housewarming into an after-party too? So, keep an eye on your inboxes because as soon as the guest list is finalised, Ibuki will be sending out invitations to the privileged few she wants to come along.

["Privileged few" basically meaning anyone Ibuki's spoken to a few times and hasn't ended up disliking.

She's still not done though. Instead, she briefly pans the camera to show more of the arcade and a certain girl utterly absorbed in her gaming.]

One last thing. This here is Chiaki Nanami-chan, seen in her most natural environment.

[Gotten a good look at her. Good, because Ibuki's back in focus now and there's a rare seriousness to her expression.]

Chiaki-chan is Ibuki's friend so everyone be nice to her or I'll come kick you in the shins. This is my first and only warning.

[And after that brief moment of serious sentiment, she flashes a cheeky grin and wave before ending the feed.]

[Chiaki had stopped eating for the moment. It was still a name that didn't come to her.]

Traitor? What are you talking about Mioda-san?

On the island, Monokuma-chan said one of us was a traitor. We thought maybe he might have just been trying to kick-start the killings that way but if you don't remember Byakuya-chan...

[And now she thinks about it, there's a certain sense to the notion if certain of his actions are looked at while considering the theory...

And suddenly she's lost her appetite.]

Man, that would suck if it's true. Ibuki liked Byakuya-chan a lot.

I don't remember that name as someone from the class anyway.

[She shook her head slightly. But she was aware of one tiny detail, but she figured she best leave that well alone. If they don#t remember one another from before maybe there was a reason. So she wasn't going to say anything.]

But I don't think he is your traitor as you put it. He is still your friend.

Right?

[It doesn't take much to convince Ibuki away from the idea of Byakuya as traitor.]

I mean, he did all that work to try and protect us all even when we didn't know what to do. And I can't call him traitor when he's not here to defend himself.

[Her definition of "here" is deliberately vague, in this case.]

Not here? I assume you mean Genessia, or where you were?

[Because she didn't know which here she meant either, but she was taking a guess either way. But she managed to start eating again since she knew she didn't have much left to eat.]

But either way you can always put it down to different memories.

Aha yeah...let's go with that.

[And oh look appetite's back. Or not, but it's a good enough excuse to not have to say anything else for a moment or two.]

Still that's kind of weird. I mean, I know you're behind us and all but that shouldn't change that much, should it?

Shouldn't change that much?

[She paused with a chip dangling from her mouth for a brief moment before she went to push the rest of it in and started to chew.]

I mean, us having different memories. If Ibuki really has forgotten then it makes sense for some things but Byakuya-chan was there from the start.

[It's complicated. And Ibuki's just about reached her limit on complicated.]

But, nothing to be done for it I guess. Won't really matter unless he shows up here anyway.

[She nodded slightly, she had finished her food anyway and felt quite full.]

Hopefully he'll come here someday. But... let's go to a different subject like... [She paused for a moment to actually think.]

Oh dessert.

Yes! You're right! Ibuki totally forgot about dessert!

[And consider her successfully distracted. She still can't quite finish her main meal but dessert is separate, right? So she can still have one.]

What to have, though...hmm. Maybe a brownie. Brownies look good.

[And she's not at all influenced by the one that's just been brought to another nearby table...]

[She looked over slightly for a moment.]

They do... But I don't know what the others desserts might look like. But brownies are smaller and won't be as filling that way, right?

Maybe but that's the boring way to decide. You should choose based on what'll be most nomalicious and if it's too big, well, that's how things go sometimes.

[And Ibuki is a firm believer that too much dessert is better than not enough.]

Honestly I usually don't choose. I just pick what is there when I remember to eat.

[Which is how she always did it, but here it was a different matter. It was hard to be able to actually decide when there was a huge selection.]

Maybe I can choose randomly.
