Even with all of the weirdness going on at the moment, Yua couldn't say she was all that disturbed. True, from the moment she'd woken up she'd gotten the feeling that something was distinctly wrong, but whatever it was, she could roll with it, couldn't she? A-after all, the view is quite nice... She followed Nagisa over to the other two.
Yua offered the two newcomers a smile, bowing. "Ikeda Yua, Ultimate Tutor. But you can call me Yua, I don't mind."
She'd always insist that the students she taught called her Yua, and seeing as these were her classmates, it only felt natural to tell them the same. Brushing blonde strands of hair out of her face, the girl turned to Nagisa, oddly excited to stick with Susugihara and Tomomi. "Joining them wouldn't hurt, right? There's strength in numbers."
Who am I kidding, he won't mind. Yua straightened her posture, taking a deep breath. "It's a little alarming that all four of us don't know what's going on. Hopefully, we'll run into someone with an intact memory and a good explanation for why we're all here..."
Another tall strong guy, she hoped, for no reason in particular. One who wasn't accompanied by an actual model.
"...Mmm. You seem capable, so I'll follow your lead." She latched her arm with Susugihara's, craving the closeness of another person in such a scary situation. "Onwards?"

Behind Minato, Saito briefly stuck his hands into his pockets--he flipped them inside out, revealing them to be empty. He shrugged. "Saito Takuya. We're from Hope's Peak, yeah."
"It's nice to meet you too, Wakabayashi." Minato briefly bowed his head to her. "Like Saito said, yes, we're also Hope's Peak students. He's the Ultimate Masseur, and I'm the Ultimate Charity Fundraiser. And...now that you mention it, I think I'm missing my things, too."
Feeling a panic begin to stir in his chest, Minato checked his pockets, even more confused than before when he found them completely empty. He usually didn't carry much around, but he always had his wallet, a business card or two...what was this?
It was too strange to be a string of coincidences now.
Seeming nervous, Hayashi took a deep breath. "Did you guys see anything outside? Do you have an idea of where we might be?"
Minato shook his head, frowning slightly. "Not really. We only just woke up the beach. Neither of us knew what was going on so we resolved to look around until we found something, and this building was the first thing we saw. There were some others, too, if you two think it'd be a good idea to try and explore those?"
Hayashi nodded. "Maybe. Wakabayashi, what do you think?"
Saito watched the other two girls, frowning slightly. "...Your Ultimates?"
"Hm?" Hayashi turned back to Saito.
"Yamada just told you our Ultimates, so tell us yours," Saito insisted. "It's only fair."
Hayashi chuckled nervously. "Oh. Um...I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student. Wakabayashi is Ultimate Movie Director, I think. ...D-did I get that right? I'm sorry if I didn't."
"Ah. So you're talentless." Saito's rudeness took Minato off-guard.
"G-guess you could say that," Hayashi said with another nervous laugh.
