[Video] Apocalypse PSA
[There's a scruffy young man on the screen. I mean his hair is washed, and everything, which is just... like, super amazing... wow. Hot water. You guys have it good. What was I saying? Right, scruffy. Cleaned up some, sure, but still in shabby clothes and generally haggard, weary in a way that makes him look way older than he is. He looks sort of familiar, if you squint
He looks pretty goddamn serious, or is certainly giving his best effort to be, but he keeps getting halfway there and getting lost, overwhelmed. God, he wants this to work, but he has no clue how to make it happen. He just wants to help, somehow, please.]
Smash Academy.
My name is Hajime Tanaka. You... may have known me. Know... still know me. A past... me. [time travel is the worst why]
Most of you have surely noticed, by now, the strange occurrences affecting your friends, or perhaps yourselves. I am certain many of you are worried and confused by the matter, but it is important for you to understand: no matter how much duress they may cause you, these effects are little more than a distraction from something much greater and more terrible to come.
The warped sky you've seen in the last month, the shadow insects and the monsters they make--they're the first signs of a terrible calamity yet to come. This school rests atop a dimensional boundary, and it is ready to split and unleash untold chaos upon Final Destination City. I come from the future, to... wow, that... sounds so silly out loud--I have come from the future where it has already happened, and it's... it's... been a bad time. I don't... I'd rather you not have to deal with it, is the thing.
I understand that many groups have already gone to investigate and inspect the catacombs beneath the school. Any who are willing and able, I implore you to keep looking, to try and locate the rift and put an end to this invasion before the world can end.
Those of you who can't or won't look for whatever reason, be warned and be ready in case of whatever may occur. Prepare and store whatever you can--food, weapons, clothes, whatever amenities you can. Locate safe places to hide, or--
[Wait. Wait this is either going to instill panic, or make him look like a nut. Deep breaths. Okay.]
The... the most important thing to me is that people are ready. We were taken by surprise last time. I cannot possibly emphasize how little I want that to happen to you all again.

[It's almost a joke, but it's more sad than funny. Still, he should try to remain optimistic. Or at least a step above defeatist. It's just difficult with the way he's had to come to accept that things always have the potential to go wrong or get worse. That's been a truth for him since even before the city's fall.
...But Hajime hasn't given up yet. And Kiyotaka won't give up on him.]
...At least we've fought them for long enough that we know a lot of weak points. [Even the big ones who seemed invincible for long enough to kill a few of its assailants.] We can pass that on, we can... make sure they all know how to use a weapon.
no subject
[It should sound optimistic, but it sounds as if he's already anticipating the cataclysm to happen all over. His mind is already jumping to how to minimize the inevitable damage, rather than planning to stop it.]
What is it, about this place...? For so long... so long we've hoped for an opportunity like this, a chance just like this one, and now we have it... and we still can't believe in it...
[His hand, his flesh hand, the one with life remaining, reaches out to take Kiyotaka's.]
This place has the power to crush hope. We can't let it. We're so close, we just can't.
no subject
It only has as much power as we give it.
[No, it has more than that. This school... This place... And the world that's slowly bleeding into it...
He grimaces and brings Hajime's hand to his face, pressing his cheek against his knuckles.]
No matter what happens, promise me that you won't give up. [Because if Hajime does, even with all the lives Kiyotaka will be burdened with once again, he's not sure if he'd be able to continue. Not for another decade of watching everything fall apart all over again.]
no subject
No... no, I never could...
[Despair is easy. The easier route is never the greater one. The real question is how great he can be.]
We just had this conversation, didn't we? [They have this conversation every week.] So long as I have you... so long as we have each other, I swear...
[He touches his forehead to Kiyotaka's. He's become so selfish, living for this person instead of all the rest. But this is what keeps him going.]
Until my dying day, I won't surrender.
