Hmm… So you’re admitting that you only complimented me to make me feel better?

Not that that’s a bad thing, of course. I just want you to be honest with me! I can take it, promise.

My name is Ruri Maruyama, and I am the Ultimate Captain! I am a master of naval expertise and an experienced sailor!

I am a member of the Academy for Gifted Students, and I take great pride in my work. My dearest friend is Gonta Gokuhara! I will do whatever it takes to ensure that there are no fatalities. I am five feet, ten inches, can operate a cannon, and have some expertise in cooking and survivalism. Let's all become trusted allies of one another!

Hi! mod Muffy here. Let's set some ground rules!

1. Absolutely no NSFW. I'm not a minor, but it still makes me very uncomfortable. This will result in an instant block! 2. Both I and Ruri use she/her! Ruri is straight. 3. I block freely, I don't really have a specific DNI criteria. Just don't be a creep, and don't be a jerk. 4. Ships are fine, but I primarily ship her with Kaito Momota.

TAGS #Onward! - Ruri speaks! #Point north! - Ruri answers! #Speak freely! - Ruri interacts with classmates!

Onward!

Akiko shifts uncomfortably, knowing if she says something wrong, Toko will be offended heavily.

“ I us-ed to be a biiiiigggg fan of your n-nov-els when I was al-ive... I al-ways ad-mi-red your wooorkk... „

She smiles, looking at Toko. Her eyes are uncanny, but that's not something she can control.

“ To fi-nal-ly me-et youuuu... I-it's li-ke get-ting a coun-try for your birth-day...! „

— @zombaki

“W-What the…?”

Toko can’t help but stare at her. She felt almost…sorry for her, in a way.

Then, Toko thought about how she could’ve died…and got severely uncomfortable. But she was going to play nice.

Despite keeping up casual conversation, Akiko notices Toko's weariness around her. She chooses to keep quiet about it, not wanting to make the other girl feel bad.

“ and just Toko...? Ah, o-kay... It feels so wrroongg to call you by your fiiirrsst na-me.. it feels dis-re-spect-ful for a no-body l-like me to call you by such a way.. „

Toko would rather die than tell her why she made her so uncomfortable. One, it was the fact she was a zombie.

And two, she reminded Toko so heavily of…her other half. What if, in some far of place, one of HER victims came back and talked to her this way? The idea was enough to make her vomit.

But she stifled it.

Akiko pauses to find the right wording... ″... Ri-val-ry... with Kokichi.. Some-thing we can bond o-ver! Al-so I thi-nk it is so... awe-some how you are so cl-ose to Korekiyo.. He al-ways seeeemmmed so... s-scary... „ She looks at Uta-chan, although, she has a slight issue with eye contact. Sometimes, she would look eerily into the other person's eyes; other times, Akiko would be looking down at her own feet.

uta is patient , waiting for akiko to finish talking , all with that sweet smile on their face .

at the mention of kokichi , their eyes darkened just a bit .

' ah yes ... that menace . how wonderful to see that many others despise him just as much as i do ~!'

when she mentioned kiyo , they had to hope their joy wasn't too noticeable .

“ Reeeea-lly..? I al-ways thought Korekiyo-Kun wooould b-be raa-ther... alooooff.. Not to be me-an.. „

Akiko shifts around slightly hoping she didn't come off as rude or crass to Uta-chan.

“ You twoooo se-em li-ke you are good fri-endsss, though.... That is awe-some sa-uce ! „

“ Rantaro... or Amami-kun, if that iiisss.. what you pre-fer... „

she shifts around slightly, before speaking once more.

“ You re-al-y remiinddd me... of a ti-me when i was nor-mal..! My best fri-end used to weaaaarrrr sim-i-lar cloth....ing as you ! „

— @zombaki

"O–oh! For some reason I get that a lot… and just Rantaro is fine. But it's nice to meet you anyways!"

Akiko tilts her head to the side.

“ Ei-ther way, I have a ques-tion... haaaavee you cov-ered a the muuurderrr of a girll... s-speci- speci... „

the girl's eyes begin to well with tears, the difficulty of the word getting the best of her.

“ a girl who... was 13...? I do not re-mem-ber m-myself bef-ore Akiko... I want to know whooo... I was ... „

I did cover a lot of murder cases...

Well... I did cover a murder case with a girl with the same name as yours! However... I'm unsure if it was you or not.

Unfortunately, the news doesn't tell much about the victim's personal life due to safety reasons... I did remember I interviewed the victim's relative... The brother of the victim I believe.

I haven't heard about the case for awhile, and I don't think the murderer was ever caught at all unfortunately...

But hey! Please don't cry...! It's not your fault you can't remember... And it's vile that people have the thought to murder someone with potential in their lives! It's unheroic... If I could rewind time, I would save every innocent people just like you! I'm so sorry that happened Akiko....
