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.

[Sakura's back again on the app. Which, once she gets back home and realizes she still can't find certain items, well. Of course she is Concerned. Though not necessarily for reasons others might assume. Not so much for what this means for herself, especially given how defenseless this leaves her without her magic and cards, but she is. Worrying about the cards. Because of course she is.

She idly brushes a longer strand of hair framing her face behind her ear, biting her lip as she uses her phone, opening the Retrospec app. Which shows her bedroom in Fai and Iwai's place, where she sits cross-legged on her bed.]

Um, if everyone missed it before? I'm back. I mean, I have the app again. I'm sorry if I worried everyone before. But I just wanted to check. To ask, I mean. Others have probably gotten the app after having it deleted from their phones too, right? Only, when I got back, I realized some things were missing still. My cards. And my neckla-- my staff I use with them. They're gone. So is my bear.

[Anyone might question the bear, but this particular bear is unique and special, given her bond with Xiaolang. With his Other in her memories, Syaoran. Let alone if someone thinks she might be talking about normal playing cards or something.]

I usually always have the cards and necklace on me, and the bear usually stays in my room, but. When I got home, I can't find them anywhere. And I'm sure I didn't leave anything in...in that glass case I woke up in. If anyone has seen the cards, please tell me! Or at least, make sure they're alright.

[To be fair, it isn't like the cards are exactly defenseless, or necessarily vulnerable, considering the chaos they caused in her memories, but even so. She can't help worrying. And not just because she isn't sure how she is supposed to figure tricking her family with stopping them from worrying if she doesn't have Mirror to stay home in her stead while dealing with App Things?

She holds up a couple of drawings to try show what the necklace and an example of one of the Clow Cards look like.]
