SOMEHOW HE MANAGES

[nodyinteam]

WHO: Nekomaru and you!
WHERE: Pretty much all around the ship
WHEN: Loosely throughout the first week of the stay
WHAT: Nekomaru Nidai gets used to the change of scenery and gets to work!
WARNINGS: There may be talk about fictional death, and also shit

[Atrium]

[After the orientation, Nekomaru wanders the ship as if in a daze until he ends up walking around the atrium. He's a bit more listless than usual as he adjusts to the situation. It's like something out of sci-fi, and even more outlandish than his previous situation. But it's that previous situation which has him wary... What if this is another one of Monokuma's tricks? Except that there hasn't been any sign yet of the bear, or of any of his classmates.

He eventually settles onto a bench that he seems way to big for. Nekomaru looks down at his hands as he flexes his fingers slightly, and he thinks back to the last moments that he remembers at Jabberwork Island as he mutters aloud to himself.]

That fool better be alright...

[Training Facility]

[Once he gets over the initial funkiness, Nekomaru is mostly back to his usual self, and he makes his way to the training area. There wasn't a setup like this anywhere on the island, so all of this training equipment is like a sight for sore eyes!

After going through some warm-up exercises for his heart's sake, he leans against a wall with his arms folded and watches anyone else who files in and out of the area. He'll be ready to approach anyone if (a) they show any signs of any athletic talent or potential, and/or (b) if the person in question is struggling with their workout in some way. Time for the Super High School Level Team Manager to do some coaching!]

[...Restrooms]

[And eventually, Nekomaru decides to start off with his assigned job. You may be passing by one of the restrooms - or god help you, planning to use one - when sounds of a struggle come from within. A loudly growling man, parts of the bathroom breaking... It's intense.

Finally, the door swings open, and Nekomaru steps out with a grim expression on his face.]

...It seems that there's much work to be done here.

[FREE TIME (wild card)]

[Feel free to run him at some other random spot of the ship, or feel free to plot with me if you want to set up some other prompt!]

[nodyinteam]

You don't have to be!! Except in a symbolic sense!!!

[yotsubas]

But... even in a symbolic sense, that would be going against what I was brought up as.

[nodyinteam]

Sheesh, well it doesn't have to be a big deal. So you're a lady through and through, huh?

[yotsubas]

That's what I try to be.

I can't be a loving sister to my brother if I were, say, a brother. That would just make things weird.

[nodyinteam]

So that's your ambition...

Ahahaha! You can be a worthy sibling no matter what your gender or shit may be like!

[yotsubas]

Pardon my intrusion, but it seems you like to talk about waste.

[nodyinteam]

It's an important subject. Eat well, sleep well, shit well! That's what I always say.

[yotsubas]

What about studying well?

[nodyinteam]

That's important, too! Studies and training are a key part of self improvement. While the motto I just went through are the keys to being healthy!

[yotsubas]

[ that actually gets a laugh out of her. ]

I see. And I can see nothing wrong with that motto, either. People should follow it.

[nodyinteam]

You've got the right idea, Shiba! I hope that you remember it. And if you need any help with your workouts, I'd be glad to lend a hand! [A very bara hand.]

[yotsubas]

Please, you may call me Miyuki. [ that's what everyone calls her, anyway. ] And I may have to take you up on that offer. I wouldn't want to grow weak just because I'm not at home, after all.

[nodyinteam]

Ha! Whatever you say.

You won't have to worry about growing weak as long as you know me! Just call out the name of NEKOMARU NIDAI, and I'll be there!

[yotsubas]

I wouldn't want to disturb your busy schedule if I just call for you without any warning.

Perhaps it would be best if we tried to schedule meetings every now and then.

[nodyinteam]

That's a good point... I don't mind being flexible, but I wouldn't want to disrupt the times of other people I may end up working with...

Alright!! We'll make ourselves a schedule!

[yotsubas]

Then... I shall let you know when my available times and days are.

I was given some work to do, after all. While it's not something I usually do at home, I don't want to disappoint anybody who's entrusted me with this job.

[nodyinteam]

That'll work!

What kinda job did you get?

[yotsubas]

I'm a waitress at an animal cafe. What about you?

[nodyinteam]

Cute job.

Lavatory Structural Inspector for the Entire Fleet!

[They went a good few tags without mentioning the bathroom.]

[yotsubas]

[ and now they're back to square one... ]

I would have imagined it would be related to sports...

[nodyinteam]

Ha! You'd think that, wouldn't you? But I don't mind! I can still do all the sports managing I want in my spare time. That'll be enough for me!

If I can help everyone here to be able to take shits in peace, then I won't say no to it!

[yotsubas]

Then I suppose I won't judge. You clearly mean well.

[nodyinteam]

[He smirks with sincerity.]

I'm glad that you understand, Miyuki. I'll keep on doing my best... FOR ALL OF OUR SAKES!!

[yotsubas]

Oh, but please remember to take a long shower after working.

[ god knows what you might smell like... ]

[nodyinteam]

Aw, are you worried about me? Hahaha! Well no need for that! As a team manager, I know full well when to hit the showers!
