hi we're ishida and naegi and this is jackass, video-> text

[steadycourse]

[ So, we're finally back in the normal world. You think that after a month in some weird virtual place, you’d return with skepticism and caution, trying to take things easy and slow. However, you completely underestimate how dumb some college students can be so here we are, Naegi holding his phone to record Ishida about to do the cinnamon challenge (hello, 2014). ]

Are you sure you want to do this, Kiyotaka………

[ Naegi wants to be a good friend. Good friends should help out each other! But maybe good friends should also stop their dumb friends from killing themselves???? Hmmmm ]

Of course! A challenge is a challenge and I’m not going to back down from one, especially when they sent me a very official text about it!

[Because getting a text from a random asshole student is very official… but Ishida saw the challenge in those words and he’s not about to let his manliness come into question! It also probably doesn’t help that he recently remembered the sauna battle with Mondo…]

If you insist… Uh, I’ll be… here if you need me…

[ He’s got 911 predialed on his phone, he’s ready to go (but really, he has prepared himself with two bottles of water which is probably a more realistic solution than calling an ambulance). ]

I thank you for your usual assistance, Makoto!

[ So with his usual vigor and his eyes blazing, he takes hold of his spoonful of cinnamon and just. Puts it in his mouth without any sort of hesitation or regret… although, that regret is soon coming as Ishida begins to cough and gag, the flames instantly disappearing from his eyes as they’re replaced by tears. His hair turns to black before he falls out of sight from the camera, although continued coughing can be heard.]

K-K-Kiyotaka--!! H-Hang on--!!

[ Naegi immediately lowers his phone to go rush over to the possibly dead Ishida and that’s PROBABLY THE END OF THIS VIDEO but hey, at least there’ll be a fun text update a few minutes later… ]

So… Kiyotaka is going to be out for the rest of the day… If anyone is a nurse or doctor, please let me know if it's okay if he just stays on the floor and at what point I should take him to the hospital...

Also, he’s asking anyone in his classes to please send him notes so he doesn’t fall behind in class. Thanks in advance.

I don't think he would have. At least I hope he wouldn't have if the challenge weren't brought to him.

Do you know who challenged him to it?

[optimistical]

I'm not entirely too sure but I think it was a random classmate of his.

I want to believe that it wasn't done out of malicious intent but it kind of seems like that...

[thesettingsun]

They were probably just being a dick.

[optimistical]

Yeah.... it's kind of hard to believe that they did this without malicious intent.

I'm hoping that this will convince Kiyotaka to never do another challenge again, at least without researching it.

[thesettingsun]

I'm sure he'll learn something from it. If only that he probably shouldn't injure himself because of a random text.

[optimistical]

I think when he's feeling a lot better, I'm going to have to sit down with him and talk to him about accepting challenges like this.

I kind of feel like a parent...

[thesettingsun]

Feels kind of awkward trying to mom someone your age.

[optimistical]

It's REALLY awkward... I don't really know how it turned into this.

I did mentor him in his first year in university but I didn't think it'd become this.

[thesettingsun]

You became the reliable senpai and now you can't escape. I'm sorry.

[optimistical]

Oh no, am I stuck in this role forever? What if I want to be a kohai again?

[thesettingsun]

It's too late, the process is irreversible. Even with people who are older you'll be stuck as senpai now.
