[ When the feed turns on, there's a huge smile on Yuri's face. Though there's something about it that practically screams that you should probably not listen to this because it's probably going to be loaded with bad news. ]

Hello, everyone! I just wanted to say that Guild actually showed up in Hinoto-Ri, so I'm offering to let anybody come with me to go there tomorrow during the 13th hour. Just make sure you bring something to fight with and are able to swim. Otherwise: don't come.

I don't know if atomic restructuring will still work down there, but if you know how to build weapons, make sure you come. I'll teach you how everything works. It's cheaper than buying them from the store, after all. Oh, and if you're a part of the SSS? If you don't come, I'll make sure that you'll get what you deserve.

If you have any questions, though, don't hesitate to ask, alright?

There's nothing to blackmail! He doesn't have a shirt, so what?! Hurting people like that isn't funny or cute, it's immoral and-- and it's bullying!

[He has some intense feelings about this, okay. It's just like the "respect other people's privacy" rant he has to have when it comes up.]

F-forget it. ... Let me lead this group, at least in the beginning. If nobody will listen to me about going, then I want to take responsibility for everyone's safety.

[frequent_flyer]

You were the one telling me to put a shirt on..! And besides, wouldn't it only be blackmail if I was doing something embarrassing?

[Like say... cuddled up in a blanket in front of his computer, crying over a visual novel. He'd probably literally die if anyone saw that. Except Otonashi. He knew about that already, much to Hinata's chagrin.]

I don't really care if anyone shows me to people without my shirt on... [It might even boost his chances of finding a girlfriend! Free advertising!]

[He goes very quiet at the talk of who should be the leader, noticeably not weighing in on the conversation. He's close with both of them. The idea of choosing a side just... makes him uncomfortable.]

[leadthebeats]

Believe me, you're embarrassing as is.

[ Like right now, for instance. ]

But fine; I'll allow it. Otonashi-kun will be the first to go in.

[trainwrecking]

This is stupid, just drop it. If anyone did something wrong, it was me for telling him to do it. I'm the embarrassment or--or whatever, it doesn't matter!

[Honestly, to him it's just... nothing to fuss about. Hinata isn't streaking through the streets, he's only shirtless--no different than if he was going swimming--in the safety of his own home. It doesn't embarrass Otonashi, and Otonashi is typically the preacher of privacy and decency.]

... Okay. I want to set up a meeting place outside of the Guild, at least an hour before its set to appear, so that I can talk to everyone who might show up. If they decide against it after I talk with them, they're allowed to back out. No making fun of them, no baiting them, no threatening them. Are we clear? We work together with whoever remains to make sure that everyone makes it out safely.

Text

[frequent_flyer]

[He's reading the messages, but he remains silent, letting them duke it out. Curiously, he decides to go back to text.]

so when are we going

[leadthebeats]

[ He said he's the embarrassment of the group, not her. For once, anyway! But she'll drop it for the time being; this isn't a time to goof off anymore. Let's get serious for real. ]

That's fine. Besides, I didn't plan on getting anybody killed. But let's do this on a day when I'm not working. Is that alright with you guys?

[trainwrecking]

It's fine. Send us a schedule of your days off next week. I'll take care of it from there.

[And maybe everything will go kind of almost sorta okay. Maybe.]

[leadthebeats]

I'm usually off on weekends, so anytime during those days should be fine.
