[A pale and skinny boy who might be familiar to some appears on the screen, giving a casual wave and perky smile.]

So, there are a lot of monsters about the place, right? Not very safe if you're not a fighter. Which I guess means I should try to change that. So, I was just wondering, if anyone has the time, if they're able to teach a guy like me a little self-defence.

I'll warn you that I'm not a very competent person. Well.....actually, I'm not competent at all! However, I promise I'll do whatever I can to pay you back.

[ H... uh. ]

I don't know? I've never heard of luck being a talent. I mean, like, luck is just kind of... random. Isn't it?

It's certainly not a real talent, for the reasons you've said. However, there are people who count it as one. [Which was why he was accepted into Hope's Peak Academy in the first place.] I don't really get why though.

[ ... Well. ]

It does give an advantage, I guess? And you can learn to use that advantage!

Well, you're not wrong there. [He DOES rely on his luck a lot of the time when he's planning something - and a good number of times it does work. He won't deny that.] It's still pretty boring, though. Nothing, compared to someone tries hard to improve his or her talent to overcome bigger challenges and struggles!

I don't know. 'Boring' is subjective, really- I'd like for my luck to be a little better so don't take what you have for granted, dude.

.......Subjective? [Okay, he's a little confused by that. Maybe it's because she doesn't quite understand how his luck works.]

I mean, good luck is marvellous! However, something of equal value might have to happen at the opposite end of the scale. Are you sure you want that?

What's boring to you might not be boring to another person is all I mean. Some people might think being lucky is a 'boring' trait to have, but- Others might not!

And, sure. I'd be willing to take the risk.

[She doesn't think that sort of thing is boring? Wow. She's a weird one!

And having luck as a talent also comes with its own problems. Komaeda thinks it might be bad luck if he talks to her about his own experiences. But he might be able to explain his talent in another way.]

Take a risk, huh? That's an odd way to put it. You'd certainly get bad and good luck of equal value! I mean, you'd get the worst luck of ending up in a train crash where you're the only survivor. That's pretty bad, right?

However, after you get out hospital, you find out that you've won seven billion dollars! Wouldn't that just be amazing luck? It would certainly make up for the accident you had earlier, wouldn't it?

[ That she is. It's something she's come to embrace recently, but... She still meets people who are even stranger than her. She's starting to get the sense that Nagito might be one of them. ]

I don't know, actually. If you're the only one that survived that's still not technically bad luck, in my opinion... The other people who died though? Yeah, that's some pretty rotten luck.

(( ooc: heyo! i'm on hiatus until probably mid-april due to life stuff so i will still be painfully slow if you'd rather drop/handwave this and start something new when I get back lmk!!! ))
