[ The feed opens with writing initially, but it's nothing of great significance at first. In fact, all the owner seems to be doing is writing his surname on it. ]

Otonashi. [ And then the owner pauses as if he has to try to remember a language that isn't Luceti's known common. ]
音無.

[ Just like any other lost new feather, he discovers this mystical video option and goes for it. Way to be super late to the new feather arrival party, Otonashi! ]

I could have used this all along, huh...? Maybe I ... tried? I can't remember very much about what happened the last few days...

Just something about Malnosso and death penalties. [ There's a break in the audio just before he sneezes. Right ― sickness too. Showing up to Luceti without the right clothing for the weather wasn't his idea, that much is certain. Did he stay out too long in it? It looks like he might have. Why? He can't recall, but he did bump into other winged people that he remembers. ]

And... ah, mister Layton! Thank you for your help.

I remember that much. It's a little fuzzy now, [ What fourth wall event? And all those people lacking wings? What? ] but I got most of it. Is there anything else I should know? [ This is directed at any listeners. ]

[ And Otonashi can be found around town, shopping around for a meal. "Shopping" is used loosely here, considering the lack of a monetary system, but nevertheless he is out and about. For anyone who might be familiar with him, he is wearing his "school's" school uniform, except with a wise addition of a thicker shirt beneath it and a scarf. The warm clothes make sense, but the choice in uniform might not.

Everything is going pretty well, and you might either find him stopping at the local bakery (or anywhere nearby!), or worse...

... with a wing slammed in the door. Having these new wings is confusing and weird and he didn't even have to deal with having these things in the afterlife, okay? He was taking in how ornate the paintings inside were. It was just a bakery, he had no idea someone poured so much love into the decor; Otonashi can appreciate the arts! Sadly, the result today is pain.

It just wouldn't be Otonashi if he didn't come into a string of misfortune upon arriving somewhere new. ]

[Noda had noticed you, Otonashi, while you were in the bakery with Hinata. It seems like it was forever ago that he saw the redhead, and decides to make his presence known...

By making a snow ball and hurling it straight at Otonashi's face as soon as the two walk out of the bakery.

Rivalry doesn't completely go away after 12 episodes some time of hanging around in the same world, after all.]

1/2 if only that red mark on his face was an icy mark. JUST PRETEND, OKAY GUYS

[trainwrecking]

[ Sniffle. ] R-right. There was―

[ Suddenly, a snowball introduces itself to the middle of Otonashi's face. As a bonus, it stuns him enough for him to stagger backwards, and the pastries fall spectacularly into the snowbank in a heap.

Of course the box had to open and spill the desserts. ]

W-what was that for?! You jerk, I was―

2/2

[trainwrecking]

[ OH.

IT'S NODA. At least Otonashi calling the offender a jerk is appropriate. ]

Why did you have to do it now...?! [ He brushes off the rest of the snow, coughing. NODA, SO RUDE!! ]

[frequent_flyer]

[Hinata seems to be having a fine morning. Getting out of the house early and getting some tea and pastries was a nice change of pace from a loud cafeteria, and catching up with Otonashi was always welcome, especially after a few days of fighting over the bathroom with Noda and Naoi.]

[It was just nice to have a guy in the house be on his side of arguments, you know?]

[And then that guy got a face-full of snowball. The bluenette whipped his head around, looking for the source.] Oi! What do you think you-

[Of course it was Noda.] Ugh, it's the idiot... [He hands his tea to Otonashi, bending over and collecting a handful of snow, tightly packing a snowball, sliding his foot back for leverage and pitching it at Noda's head.]

[hatesguns]

Hmph. [Noda's looking pretty happy though? So weird.]

Serves you right for spacing out!

[And he makes another snowball. Noda stop...]

[trainwrecking]

[ Noda, why doesn't anything deter you? Is it because blows to the head don't matter when you're an idiot?! ]

I wasn't spacing out! You shouldn't―! [ Forget it! Noda is busy crafting another snowball anyway. Otonashi kneels down to make one of his own. ]

Jerk...!

[frequent_flyer]

[How could he miss!? Maybe that's why he made Yuzuru the pitcher.]

[He growls in aggravation, crouching and starting to make another snowball.] Otonashi! [As he finishes one, he hands it up to Otonashi, immediately making another as soon as the redhead takes it. Teamwork?]

[hatesguns]

[What's this, TEAMWORK? He's not liking this two versus one deal, but he can deal with it, he's a man!]

Hmph! Two wimps against me will not change anything!

[He hurls another snowball, aiming at whichever didn't seem ready enough to take his throw.]

[trainwrecking]

Eh―?! [ He fumbles with the snow, but manages to catch it. ] Is t-that all [ wheeze... ] you can say?!

[ Have a face full of snow, Noda. Nevermind that Otonashi stumbles and might not have hit dead on. It's the thought that counts? ]

[frequent_flyer]

[Hideki is furiously packing snowballs, so he's caught completely off-guard as a snowball collides with his face.]

AHHH!

[There was ice in that one! Noda, why!?]

[Momentarily, he's down for the count, tipping backwards and flailing in the snow as he furiously wipes all the frozen off his face and checks for injury.]

[halberdaxe]

[Ohoho, he totally wasn't planning to get that ice in that snowball, but that makes things even better.

He gives a scoff at Hinata, and packs another snow ball to throw at Otonashi while Hinata's down.]

1/2

[trainwrecking]

Hinata..? [ Oh, that isn't good for a sick person. That much Otonashi knows. Perhaps it is only because Otonashi hasn't had the misfortune of being dead for quite as long as his SSS companions, but his first thought is to call off this entire fight. Could Hinata's immune system handle sickness? Could his own? How well were they working?

He's already dealt with frost-nip and sniffling, this can't be good for the systems of formerly dead― wait. THAT'S IT.

Maybe he dealt with a lot of sickness in life or enjoyed science in school? Otonashi really doesn't know where the phantom knowledge comes from.

But he has it.

And it may be the only way to disable Noda. ]

2/2 a gift for you, noda

[trainwrecking]

[ Sorry, Noda... It's for the good of all. ]

Enough..!

We can't do this now! Ah... You, me and Hinata are all susceptible to nasopharyngitis or, if we stay out here, pneumonia! Nasopharyngitis is a viral infection that at current, has no cure― only treatments to fight the symptoms and assist leukocytes in fending off the sickness― and the best method of prevention is avoidance, practicing proper hygiene and not...

... starting... snowball fights.

[ So he's pretty good at giving speeches in the heat of the moment..? Even if this was just to overload Noda. ]

[frequent_flyer]

[The chunk of ice in the snowball resulted in little more than a small cut on Hinata's right cheekbone, but it still stung.]

[He sat up, his butt in a snowbank, watching as Otonashi screamed about something. He tenderly touched the cut under his eye, checking it for bleeding.]

[He'd ask for a bandage, but... Otonashi seemed to be busy.]

1/2

[hatesguns]

[Noda blinks, not understanding what most of the words Otonashi's saying. Whatever it is, it's giving him the same headache he gets when he's listening to teachers!]

Gah!!

[hatesguns]

[And he holds falls down to his knees, clutching his head as he continues to hear Otonashi's little speech and...


Ends up falling face-flat into the snow, knocked out.]

[trainwrecking]

[ Sorry it had to come to this, Noda. That little stunt left him coughing and wheezing from the cold, dry air. ]

H-Hinata... can you― help me carry him? [ Because Otonashi will not leave Noda to freeze. Of course, he notices Hinata's cut too; thankfully it looks minor. ]

I'll clean you up― [ Aaand then there's a disgusting sneeze. Ew. ] ―too...

[frequent_flyer]

Yeah, yeah... [He climbs to his feet, brushing the snow from the seat of his pants. Some of the melted snow had already soaked into his pants and boxers underneath. He needed some hot soup and dry clothes...]

[Of course, Hinata had no intention of leaving Noda here. As much of an idiot as he was, Hinata couldn't talk himself into being cruel to him.]

Here, I'll get his legs. [He hooked his arms under Noda's knees, lifting half of him off the ground.] Get his a- [He's cut off by an abrupt coughing fit.] a-arms...

/takes things seriously

[hatesguns]

[Noda proceeds to lay still, unconscious. It doesn't look like he's about to wake up any time soon...]

/takes things seriously

[trainwrecking]

[ Carrying Noda is a complete struggle. Otonashi wobbles under the weight; the snow and sickness add to the difficulty of this. Otherwise, the two could pull it off with relative ease.

Mostly because Hinata is the one pushing Noda's weight... ]

Y-you have to tell me where we're― [ Aaaand queue coughing fit. At least Noda doesn't drop to the ground because of it. ] ―ugh... going.

[frequent_flyer]

[The weight doesn't seem to get to him, but he's not looking particularly happy about it either. It's cold out here.]

We should probably take this idiot back to the house... [Thankfully, it wasn't very far, being close to pretty much everything.]

I need to change my clothes anyway...
