[Early in the morning, the network will be greeted by the video feed of an intense young man in a school uniform. He maintains that intensity as he begins his declarations.]

Good morning, people of wonderland! This is Kiyotaka Ishimaru. If we have not met before, I am a student from Hope's Peak Academy, where I am known as the Super High School Level Public Morals Committee Member! We have endured quite some events lately, haven't we? They have resulted in several delays of this message, but I will not wait any longer and risk becoming a procrastinator! I am addressing you all today to make a few announcements, so listen up!

There are two proposals I would like to put forth. The first is to set up an arrangement that I organized the last time that I was trapped somewhere. Every morning, anyone who so wishes is free to join me in the dining hall for breakfast! There, we can swap information to keep ourselves updated about the mysteries of this place while we prepare for the day!

Secondly, who's up for some serious studying?! I have noticed that there is no formal education system in place in this world, and this is a crying shame! However, in the absence of a school, it is important that we keep our minds sharp. This is no excuse to slack off! So, I think that it is also important to organize study groups. We can meet up in the library regularly and coordinate our studies of the the wealth of knowledge contained there! There may be some language barriers to deal with, as I have noticed that the books in the library do not translate like our spoken words do. However, I am sure that we will be able to work around that! This will also be a valuable opportunity for me to work more on my studies of English, so I welcome the challenge!

[With that, he smiles and practically chuckles.]

That will be all for today! I urge everyone to do your best and work hard in any and all of your daily endeavors! [And with that, he stops the feed.]

[punful]

heh, oh man. sorry, i don't mean to laugh. you just sound a lot like my brother. he's big into the whole hard work thing.

[video]

[moraloutrage]

I do?

Ah, I am very honored by the comparison and glad to hear about another hard-working type! He must be an interesting person... [He states curiously.]

[video]

[punful]

heh, he definitely is. he was here for awhile, but uh...well, if he ever comes back, you two will probably get along.

[video]

[moraloutrage]

He returned home? I am sorry that the two of you have parted! But I have faith in you word. Should he return one day, I would be glad to get to know him!

[video]

[punful]

nah, it's okay.

[Not something he's going to get into with strangers, at least.]

but yeah. if he ever comes back, i'll tell him to look you up. he might even enjoy the whole idea of school and grades and such.

[video]

[moraloutrage]

You think so?! It would be my pleasure to teach him all about the academic system and all of the hard work that should go into it! He may even make for a valued member of a my study group!

[video]

[punful]

heh, you're real enthusiastic about it, huh? studying and such, that doesn't ever get...yanno, boring for you?

[video]

[moraloutrage]

Of course not!! I am intensely dedicated to my studies. I relish every moment that I have to work hard, and I am thrilled by every new fact that I discover and commit to memory!

The idea of being bored by such a thing as studying... I- I cannot even imagine such a tragic feeling!!

[video]

[punful]

heh, i gotcha. not a lazy bone in your body, huh.

[video]

[moraloutrage]

Ahaha! That is correct. Every bone in my body is one hundred percent committed towards working hard!

I'm not surprised that you've brought up bones. Am I correct in guessing that you are a fan of skeletons?! [At least, he hopes that's the reason.]

[video]

[punful]

[He snorts.]

i mean, uh. was it that obvious?

[moraloutrage]

It actually is quite obvious! One look at your attire could be enough for anyone to make an inference like that!

[punful]

yeah. i guess the exposed skull kind of gave that away.

[SANS THAT'S MORBID.]

[moraloutrage]

Di- did... Did you just say exposed skull?! [It's a joke, right? Just a prank?!]

[punful]

yeah, uh. i got some bad news for you. all this?

[He gestures at his general self.]

it's all real, buddo.

[moraloutrage]

All... all real?! What... what do you mean?

Ce-certainly not that you actually are a... a....

[punful]

a skeleton? yeah, actually.

hey, it's not so bad. i'm not dangerous or anything. mostly i'm just humerus.

[moraloutrage]

[He can't even process that joke because now it's clicking together. That person is really is... a true, bone fide skeleton. And Ishimaru instead goes pale as a ghost.]

SKELETOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

[punful]

wow, okay.

[Been awhile since he got actual screaming.]

[moraloutrage]

[He breathes heavily as he tries to calm down.]

Y-you... You... I apologize. I did not... ah, I did not consider...

[punful]

heh, it's fine, don't even worry about it. everyone reacts about the same.

[Usually it's pretty damn hilarious.]

[moraloutrage]

...Is that so? ...I... I suppose that most people have not encountered living skeletons very often...

[punful]

yeah, most of the people here haven't. back home it's pretty commonplace.

[moraloutrage]

That is simply incredible! Of course, I'm sure that there's a scientific explanation for this, but an entire community of living skeletons is simply fascinating!

[punful]

the explanation is that it's magic, heh. and uh, i mean, there's not a whole community of us. i'm a monster. most of us aren't skeletons. we're pretty varied, actually.
