When Nami shook Boki’s hand, Hinata smiled. He felt like he hadn’t smiled in a long time which was strange. “Yes, that’s me alright.” His smile turned even bigger. “I love cuddly and nice puppets, not like that Monokuma one. He’s freaking scary.” He snarled his nose. “I like to make my own puppets because I consider myself a pretty good crafter.” He beamed and straightened up his posture." You’re an ultimate Aquarist? What’s that like?" He asked curiously.
@Daunt Namihei
“First day of school and now I’m late” she says. She throws the note and walked into the auditorium, the halls echo the sound of her heels cackle.
When she arrived, she found a handul of students, possibly her future classmates. As she looked around the room, she heard a noise… something popping out, it’s- a bear? A bear of weird design, looks high quality but also silly. It was only when his mouth opened and couldn’t believe that he was the headmaster and told to live in the school forever… specifically one word that she could never think of doing. She was shocked, but she only shown by the worry of her eyebrows. As the students panicked, feared, and stayed calm, a student came to break the silence and calmed the students. XIulan rolled her eyes as she turned around silently and looked around to venture the campus.
She grabbed her e-book and keys to leave the auditorium. She first looked around the halls, walking slowly as she drags her feet gracefully to appreciate the hallways in a slow, yet progressive manner. As she walked around the hallways, she thought about the words the girls had said, “A partner?” She scoffs, “Not even an attention seeker like hers could get me to touch those… peasants.”

APPROACHABLE
Dijon grew nervous around the people as they talk about what would they do, even adventuring in partners. With the thought in his mind circling around, Dijon sneakily ran away from the auditorium and searched in his e-book a place he knew from the palm of his hand; the kitchen.
And so, he ventured the place and saw the location. It looked like the typical kitchen cafeteria, but there were no staff around. He looked in the kitchen, only to see full ingredients in all storages. Spices, vegetable, meats, fruits, dairy; they were all available. Dijon smelled the foods, only to realize they were fresh. To calm his nerves a bit, he grabbed some of the recipes and started to make food. Cutting tomatoes, sautéing the onions, and so on. He looks arounds the room as he cooks, hoping that no one comes in.
APPROACHABLE
The sugar may had hit her this time, but she brushed it off and ate a handul of sugar as she opens the classroom and walked into the hallway.
The students were all there, and a few came and went in. They were definitely confused as to what happened, she gave exhaled in releif that she wasn’t the only one. Her first thought was that she was excited to actually start the school, not bothering as to why there were no other students and teachers coming in the auditorium. That is until she heard a voice and a teddy bear jump in an extra manner. She first thought of it as some harmless and fun joke about a somewhat cute bear… it was only her hopes crushed when the bear wanted them to stay in the school forever, only to escape by murder.
As such, she cried as she heard the news about it and worries that she may as well be the target. Her cries stopped as the room goes silent, a person came to enlighten them and made Etsuko excited. She immidiately trusted the idea and went to each of the people in the auditorium, smiling to them, “Hellooo there! My name is Etsuko Wata-kashi!!! Do you want a candy? Sweet or super duper sweet? It’s up to you!~~”

APPROACHABLE woof i came a little late XD
Jesse woke up with a start. Her head hurt, her body was sore, and she was definitely not on her couch, where she had conked out after making her father dinner. Instead, she was in a damp room that reeked of mildew and cheap perfume. A locker room? But this wasn’t her high schools locker room, and even if it was, it would still not explain as to how she had gotten there. The sick feeling she got when she stood up indicated some kind of drugging, but why would some kidnapper bring the world’s most renowned markswoman to a random school locker room?
Jesse heard a crackling over the loudspeakers, and her hand instantly went to her hip. She was happy to find her gun there- a Glock 19, the first gun her dad had ever gotten her- but was even more confused as to why a supposed kidnapper would leave her with a weapon. Even more confusing was the sticky note hanging off her gun, which when she brought up to her face, read-
Hurry and meet in the gym for orientation!
Orientation? Is this some weird sorority thing? Though she was only seventeen, Jesse had gotten several invitations to prestigious colleges based on her marksman ship skills alone, though she had thrown them all in the trash, wanting to stay and care for her father as long as possible. Even if she had accepted, sororities were never really her thing. Especially not ones that set up mock kidnappings for prospective members.
Jesse slid her gun out of it’s holster, pulling back the slide and hearing the comforting sound of a bullet loading into place. The complicated mess of metal and gunpowder in her hands had just become a weapon, something that could hurt, kill even. And she liked it. It made her feel safe. Confident. Deadly.
Jesse walked quietly on the balls of her feet, keeping her trigger finger at the side of the gun. She was about to open the locker room door when the TV screen above it flicked to life. Jesse jumped slightly, but decided to pay attention, not letting down her guard. What she heard was a shrill voice that sounded like a Teletubby had gone off the deep end, telling her, and apparently whoever else was in the building, to go to the gymnasium. The voice was accompanied by the image of a static-y silhouette that sent shivers down Jesse’s spine.
Well, no use in being subtle. Jesse popped a stick of watermelon gum in her mouth, trying to calm the torrent of butterflies in her stomach, before continuing through the locker room doors to the large gym. She found several other students standing around making idle chitchat, which she assumed could only be out of nerves. Imagine trying to make friends when you’ve just been kidnapped. What was strange was, most, if not of the students looked East Asian, and though New York was by no means an undiverse state, Jesse expected a lot more… well, diversity.
Jesse sat at the second-to-bottom row of bleachers near what seemed to be a makeshift stage, making sure to choose a spot that wasn’t to crowded so that if she did need to shoot, she wouldn’t have anyone in the way. Five minutes. I’ll give whoever’s running this freakshow five minutes before I call the cops. Minutes passed, and no sign of whomever had called them all here. Jesse was about to just give in and ditch the place, when the lights flickered, and then went out, plunging the gymnasium into darkness.
Jesse brought up her gun, hearing several kids cry out in surprise, one girl even crying out for her mom. All the noise seemed to come to a screeching halt when the stage lights came on, showering light onto a teddy bear that was definitely not there before. A teddy bear? Is that the best they can do? Jesse was forced to swallow her words, though, when the teddy bear jumped up and started talking to them.
Jesse didn’t shoot. She didn’t even try to pay attention to what the bear was saying. All she could do was laugh. A talking teddy bear? What kind bullsh*t is this? Her outburst didn’t seem to phase the bear, who just kept rambling on about the school. Jesse kept holding up her gun, yet had an aloof, almost bored expression on her face- until the bear mentioned he would be keeping the kids there… forever.
“Bullsh*t!” Jesse jumped up, aiming her gun more closely now, right at where the bear’s heart should be. She was ready to hear him cry out, beg for mercy, see guts or stuffing or both flying over the neatly polished stage. Though the other kids looked like they could care less, Jesse had a dying father at home- she couldn’t spend the rest of her life in a school run by a psycho care bear. Right when she was ready to pull the trigger, the bear mentioned how there was one way they could get out of the school, and though Jesse was much more open to just blowing the thing’s brains out at the current moment, a part of her knew that if they were really stuck here, like the care bear said, this might be her only chance of escape.
When the bear said they could get out by disturbing the community, Jesse assumed he meant something like turning up the speakers after quiet time, or no cleaning up after yourself in the cafeteria. So when it hysterically brought up murder, Jesse was stunned. The bear kept rambling on about school rules and handbooks, as if he had just been talking about the dress code. For Jesse it all went in one ear, out the other. Her hands were frozen to the pistol. She subconsciously scanned the room, seeing many kids her age, some even younger. She knew that she was most likely the most capable to commit murder out of anyone here, and she couldn’t help but think that the bear had meant for her to think that.
By the time Jesse had snapped out of hee catatonic state, the bear was gone, promptly replaced by a small blonde girl in what looked like a basketball uniform. She started talking, but all Jesse could do was lower her gun in defeat. She could’ve killed him, right then and there. But wouldn’t it just be proving some twisted point? That she could kill? Despite her expert skill and years of concealed carrying, she had never once fired upon a living, breathing creature. And, right at this moment, she wasn’t sure she could.
Jesse started paying attention to the basketball girl when she introduced herself as the ‘ultimate’ basketball player. Jesse scoffed. How very humble, she thought. The girl then called everyone else ‘Ultimates’, too, and went on to say that they were the most skilled kids in… Japan?! Jesse was ready to turn the pistol in her hand on herself at that point. Sure, someone could’ve drugged her one town over, maybe out of the state, if they were lucky. But across an entire ocean?! Jesse was prepared to let out a barrage of questions, but she knew the rest of the kids here were probably just as confused as she was.
When the girl suggested splitting up to find a way out of the school, Jesse decided to take action. Did they not just listen to psycho-bear’s whole ‘murder is good’ speech? Jesse jumped from her spot on the bleachers to the gym floor, her combat boots squeaking on the polished wood. She hopped on the stage, discarding her cartridge filled with bullets for one holding blanks. She aimed the Glock at the roof and fired, smirking at the yelps of surprise coming from the students.
“Listen up, p*ssies,” she started, not even needing to steal the mic from basketball girl to be heard throughout the gym. “We were just told we’re stuck at some random school in the middle of buttf*ck nowhere, until we decide to kill off one another. Now, where I come from, there would already be corpses within five seconds of that little announcement.” Jesse looked hard at the kids, letting them know she wasn’t joking. “Now, I know it might be tempting to… flirt after an announcement like that-” -she looked one pair of chatting kids in the eye- “-but keep it in your pants. You can bone when we’re home.”
Jesse replaced her cartridge of blanks with the previous bullet-filled one as she made her next point. “Some kid is gonna be deserate enough to try and f*ck us over. It’s not a question of if, but when. So please, if you’re stupid enough to try and go exploring right now, at least take two people with you. It’s the least you can do to not get yourself killed.” Jesse looked up, polishing her gun on her green t-shirt. Her liquid steel eyes bore into the crowd, begging anyone to argue.
@everyone in the gym
Christina was standing in front of a bear. That was on stage.TALKING. The worst part was what it said.
“This has to be a dream, this has to be a dream.” Christina thought as she pinched herself. I have to stay here my whole life? What about my family? her sadness quickly turned to anger. “WHO IS TALKING FOR YOU BEAR ANSWER MEEEE!” She cried as she pulled her hair, but the bear already disappeared. The last thing she remembered was waking up in a random classroom, which was already strange enough. Now she had to deal with something that could potentially be a joke but didn’t seem like it. She started crying at the possibility of never seeing her family again. Just then, another girl got on stage and started making a speech. Except she had a gun. Christina wasn’t even listening and instead started backing away from the stage.
“Why do you have a gun!” She yelled.
While backing away, she bumped into someone behind her and fell.
“Aaaah. I’m so sorry.” She stood up and tried to make sure that the girl was okay.

“It was more of a case of trickery, I just wanted help with getting supplies from that back lab I saw earlier, Don’t make assumptions so quick. I have no time for women or people in general.” Hayato stated coldly.
Momo scowled at him. “You’re a sociopath.”
“And why- Do tell. Did you just hiss?” Momo looked away, flushing a bit. It was… What had the therapist called it?.. It was a coping mechanism. Or at least, that was what the adults had all said. But Momo wasn’t sure what excatly it was anymore. It was a part of her personality, somethign she loved and hated, was proud and ashamed of. It this point, it sort of just felt like… desparation. At this point… it just felt like her.
She jumped as he pricked her finger for a drop of blood, a bit of the hot pink liquid splattering on the floor, claiming it was for a “sample”. “You can’t just-” She started, but the cut herself off with a sigh. It was becoming clear to her that this guy was beyond talking to. She was about to turn around and walk away from him when a spoke up.
"Cat-Girl! You should be my assistant, And no I don’t mean that in a sexual way. If you truly want to see what’s in the bear- I’m the one you need to help. I know every toxin like the back of my hand.”
Momo stopped for a second. She didn’t even want to know what “assistant in a sexual way” would be, but that wasn’t what mattered. She wouldn’t be able to get out of here alone, and that bear may just be her best bet. Momo let out a long, heavy sigh before finally answering.
“Fine.”
“So this seems like it’ll be a blast.”
Hyosuke looked up to see a cute silver-haired girl with beautiful eyes leaning against the wall next to him. Blushing a bit, he gave her a friendly smile (Or at least he tried his best to, He didn’t smile very often).
“Yeah, right?” He said. He looked up at the ceiling and sighed. “I don’t know who’d set up something like this. It’s probably just some kind of elaborate prank for Youtube or something. Whatever it is, I can’t wait for it to be over.” He chuckled and flicked his long bangs out of his eyes. “Which is why I’m letting the others find the way out for me. Work smarter, not harder, as my dad would say.”
At this point, Namihei was already certain that he would grow close to this kid-- at least, as close as they could get before escaping… Although he was clearly different, he could not help but think of his younger siblings when he saw Hinata’s smile. It made his freeze for a moment, his vision going out of focus. He missed them. He missed them so much-- after all, he had not seen them in awhile. No matter what, though, he would get back to them.
It only lasted for a beat though and he quickly returned to himself as Hinata spoke up once more. Although the two were only a few years apart at most, he could not help but feel sorry that the ‘kid’ was in this situation. With a casual chuckle, he responded, “You’re definitely right about that one.” He jabbed a thumb over his shoulder, pointing towards the now-empty stage that Monokuma had once taken over.
Nami was ready to comment on Hinata’s craftsmanship but was somewhat taken aback by his questioning. So he left his response to that at an expression of shock and awe, which was pretty accurate to his true feelings. He had never been much of the crafty type, so he was easily impressed with those who were.“Hm? Me? Well, it’s not nearly as cool as your talent but I get to take care of different ocean life and where they live… for example, I’ll help out at aquariums a lot of the time.”
@Kbail || Hinata Oh, I’ve been meaning to say that I love your lil character banner!! The puppet Boki was such a nice touch!!
As Himari’s eyes scanned the crowd, landing on all sorts of people, each drastically different, she spots a head full of flowers making it’s way out of the room. Immediately, her interest is piqued. As the Ultimate Botanist, how could she not chase after the girl and befriend her? It would be a crime! After all, since this was all just a big joke, there would be no harm in taking it easy as they searched. That meant that she had plenty of time to get to know everyone. Well, maybe not everyone but at least a vast majority!
With determination, she jogged to the other end of the room where the exit was, trying to catch up with her. She yelled something along the lines of, “Ah, wait up! I’m not that athletic!” Sure enough, by the time she reached her, Himari was a tad bit out of breath. Quite pathetic. She did not hear the stranger mumbling under her breath but even if she had, it would not have stopped her. When it came to various social cues, Himari was not the best at identifying and recognizing them…
“H-Hey!” She latched onto her arm. “Oh my goodness, hi! I just had to come talk to you first! Did you not hear what was said about having at least a partner?” Her words poured out of her mouth at a frighteningly quick speed. There was a large smile on her face despite the bit concern shining through her eyes as she finished her question. After all, how could one be so helpless as to not even understand that basic suggestion?
@Secreterz || Xiulan
“Oh my goodness, hi! I just had to come talk to you first! Did you not hear what was said about having at least a partner?” Xiulan cared less about partners, and it came to a dissapointment that she was met with someone deemed less behaved and too touchy for her own liking in first meetings. As she avoided her question, Xiulan scolded to her, “Look what you did!” Xiulan grabbed the nail guard on the floor and checked for damages, “You’re lucky this didn’t have a dent, my outfit is worth thousands than your crappy outfit!!”
Xiulan calmed herself and looked into her, answering her question, “Why me? In addition, I don’t give no damn about that partner mess. You think I’d follow some attention seeker being all a hero after that bear wanted us to kill? Also stop smiling, you look like a clown.” As she turned back to the weird girl, with two steps, she stopped as she remembered; this girl didnt even introduced to her properly. She turned back to the girl and gave a faint smile to her face, “It also seems like you have no sense of respect or even courtly manners. Let me be be the one to teach you how to be respectful when I’m around. I am Xiulan Jin, also known as Xiu by my friends; keyword, friends. I am the Ultimate Peking Actress. I don’t do handshakes, no one is deserving to touch delicate skin like mine.”

Location : Gymnasium
If you had tried to tell Katsumi Kojima before that she would be stuck with a bunch of strangers whilst a Saw reject puppet was trying to convince them all to kill each other. She would have just rolled her eyes at you and scoffed at your seemingly impossible and rather macabre situation. Whilst probably thinking you should be thrown into some kind of mental hospital. Nevertheless, as luck might have it this seemingly impossible situation has been made possible and as expected took the raven-haired beauty by utter surprise.
The last thing Katsumi could remember was waking up dazed and confused on the stone-cold floor tiles of the girl’s bathroom. With no remembrance of how, when, or why she even got there in the first place. What she however did know that she for reason had a small piece of paper clutched in her right hand.
“Hurry and meet in the gym for orientation!“ it read.
Orientation? Katsumi muttered to herself whilst furrowing her brows in confusion. Katsumi remembered that she did get accepted into a prestigious new school recently. So would that really mean she might just be attending her first day here? It was the only logical conclusion she could come up with based on the single piece of information she had received, but it would still answer the question of how she found herself here. Not quite sure about the whole situation, but also not knowing what else to do. Katsumi threw the note away in a nearby trash can and headed towards the gymnasium.
Upon opening the heavy doors of the gymnasium Katsumi was immediately greeted by what she assumed to be her fellow students standing around. Some seemed to be as dazed and confused as she was about the whole ordeal, while others seemed to be on the brink of tears or cursing every person in this place. The whole thing just seemed strange and unusual especially for a supposed first-day at school.
Before she could even wrap her head around it a black and white teddy bear then seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. ”I am not a teddy bear… I’m Monokuma!” Jumping to their feet, a wide, toothy grin appeared on its face.“And I am this school’s headmaster! I know this is sudden but I just couldn’t bear waiting any longer!” The voice matched that of the one speaking over the announcements Katsumi heard earlier while on her way to the gym. Okay, so either someone is pulling a very messed-up prank on me or I have been kidnapped by a psychotic animatronic bear Katsumi thought to herself in disbelief whilst hoping that it isn’t the latter of the two situations.
Monokuma then gave everyone a smug smile and continued his speech in a cheerful tone as he began to talk about hope and harmony and most notably death and killing. It wasn’t until she heard those last words that her face began to turn from disbelief to visible concern. Shortly after the self-proclaimed “headmaster” finished his speech a long deafening silence began to fill up the room.
It wasn’t until a lanky blonde girl began to take the stage that the silence got broken. The girl’s voice loudly echoed through the room as she introduced herself as Akahana. Followed up by a hopeful speech trying to calm everyone down by point out the sheer ridiculousness of the situation. Katsumi wanted to so desperately believe the words coming out of the girl’s mouth, but alas she had her doubts. The effort put into this was away too elaborate to be a prank as well as very illegal. So the chance of the murder-happy bear being serious about their dire situation seemed even though hard to admit, rather real.
However, before Katsumi could try to voice her opinion on the matter a loud gunshot can be heard through the gymnasium. Another brown-haired girl came behind Akahana and began to roughly steal the microphone away from the sporty blonde. The other girl who took the mic from Akaha didn’t seem to be from around here as she had some seemingly western features and wasn’t as fluent in Japanese. Her opinion on the matter was also in stark contrast with Akahana’s. The western girl seemed to be more convinced of the killing game being real and even though Katsumi might have agreed with her on that statement. She wasn’t particularly fond of the way the girl delivered her message as it came across way too brash or arrogant for Katsumi liking.
After the aggressive brunette finished her speech, Katsumi just sighed in return while trying to mask her obvious annoyance with the foreign girls’ attitude. Her eyes then began to carefully search the room for any viable candidate she could pair up with because even though Katsumi wasn’t much of a team player. She knew it was much safer to form a pair and look around than go at it alone.

It looked like Namihei spaced out for a bit, but it happened so fast that Hinata figured he just imagined it. “That’s really cool. I’m not that fond of animals, but I do like sea animals more than the ones on land.” He thought back to the time a beaver chased him during camp. “Although, it must be fun to care for something smaller than you. Is there any specific animal that you like the most?” He asked.
@Daunt Namihei Thank you 
yours is nice as well
As the nail guard clattered against the ground, the presumed metal ringing in the quiet hallway, Himari instinctively let go and took a step back. This allowed the strange girl to quickly snatch it from the ground and inspect it. As the girl yelled, Himari looked down at her outfit. Was crappy some sort of compliment to people higher up in status? There was no way her outfit could be considered anything other than ‘simple’ if not ‘cutesy’. Either way, the comment did not faze her whatsoever. Instead, she casually put her hands in the pockets of her off-white colored sweater that was somewhat worn out. The painted on flowers and other plants revealed it’s age to be at least a few years old.
“Clown?” Her head fell to the side, an eyebrow raised. Although her smile had momentarily disappeared due to pure confusion, it was quick to appear once again. “Ah, thank you! Clowns make people happy…” She mumbled the last bit. “So~o… that’s a good thing, then! Aha!” She laughed as is realization had struck her. Deep down, she knew this was not necessarily true. Yet it she admitted that openly or let it affect her, it would crack the persona she had been curating throughout the past few years.
“Oh, oh! My bad. I can’t believe that I hadn’t even introduced myself yet. It’s nice to meet you, Xiu; I’m Himari, the Ultimate Botanist!” Normally, Himari would grab her hand and shake it enthusiastically but considering what she had just said. “Hmm… That’s fair. I’ll figure out an alternative later. For now, I’m content just searching for an exit or something like that with you! I mean, you need a buddy and I need a buddy so…”
@Secreterz || Xiulan
When Hinata told him that he liked “sea animals more than the one on land,” he nodded approvingly. In his mind, that was a ten out of ten decision. Although, he could not help but wonder what had made him not like land animals as much.
“Any specific animal… That’s a tough choice but I think I’ve gotta go with either the seahorse or orca. They’re both pretty fun, if I do say so myself. Enough about me though! I’ve got some questions about your talent but first, do you have anywhere that you’d like to try and explore? We can walk and talk,” he finished, a kind smile on his face. Nami pulled out his e-handbook and selected the map. “Unless you’d feel more comfortable here… if that’s the case, it’s completely find that we stay here! After all, there are a bunch of others already looking around.”
@Kbail || Hinata
There was a girl who had a gun with her, which she didn’t spot until just now. Who carries on randomly around. Amari took a deep breath, annoyed by this girl and even a little scared as to what she would do with the gun. Not letting it get to her she rolled her eyes at her ending of the announcement.”Is this girl psycho?” She spoke aloud. Slowly covering with a mask she smiled back at him and nodded. “Yeah, you’re probably right. At least I hope so anyways. I can hardly imagine…” She lowered her voice a little. “A teddy bear,” She brought back to normal volume as she continued.”To be our headmaster.” She laughed
and tucked a few pieces of hair behind her ear. “
“What a wise man he sounds like. I’ll keep that in
mind. I could use all the advice I could get while we’re here.” She told him. “These rules are slightly crazy. The
“headmaster” can’t think people will try and get out
without killing others.” She said dragging out killing.
Luckily enough if someone is crazy enough to try
and kill her, she knows how to fight back. “I don’t
know why we are all here though?” She brought up.
“One did bring up us being Ultimates though.” She
added, She looked around to gather how many were
in here anyways.
“Yeah…” Hyosuke mused thoughtfully. The “headmaster” of this “school” was that part that had convinced him that none of this was real. If a serial killer or crazy, evil dictator had really trapped them all in here with no escape, would they really be talking through a robotic disguise instead of just taunting the students themselves? And why would they choose a teddy bear, instead of something cool or intimidating, like a real bear, or a python, or Godzilla? “I wonder how we’d even get punished if we did break any rules.” He asked. “I mean, whoever funded this thing probably wouldn’t allow a bunch of inno… Wouldn’t allow a bunch of highscool kids to get injured, right? Much less die.”
“Hey, what’s your Ultimate talent anyway?” He asked, turning to her. “You never told me.”
“Ah, thank you! Clowns make people happy…” “So~o… that’s a good thing, then! Aha!”
“Whatever makes you happy.” She said before she turned around and introduced to her. “Oh, oh! My bad. I can’t believe that I hadn’t even introduced myself yet. It’s nice to meet you, Xiu; I’m Himari, the Ultimate Botanist!” As if she never listened to what she had said before, she was called by her nickname and made Xiulan thought about having to endure this person for a bit. Xiulan looked at her and emphasized to her words once more, “I said my friends call me Xiu. I don’t feel comfortable someone saying my nickname, especially with this situation. Don’t you think? I suggest you call me first Xiulan.”
As she officially turned around to Himari, she still urges that they would still be partners and venture for an exit. Xiulan thought that she could at least get off her hair after giving her first impressions to her, and for a good minute she turned silent to her. She continued on to walk the halls, and looked at her e-book.It seems as if the Ultimate Lab was near. It was when Xiu thought that Himari’s forcefulness to be her partner gave her a great advantage. She stopped and looked behind to Himari and gave her a confident smile, “You know what? It does seem like I could use… some assistance. We will be going to this Ultimate Lab, just to check if there is an exit. I’m sure a lab has an exit. Please do tell about yourself more as we go to the labs.”
@Daunt || Himari oops i slept XD
She wondered the same as well. “Whatever it is, I don’t really want to find out. It might be death since they’re so keen on it.” She shook of her head with how it is so unbelievable that it’s an option. “Hopefully, otherwise it has to be a sick game of a psychopath. Which doesn’t sound too great to me.” She rolled her eyes. She hates not knowing the answer to her questions, especially these serious ones. It was way too frustrating for her. She just focused on something else for now. “They really couldn’t have given us anymore information.” She added, thinking back to the rules. “Oh, I’m the Ultimate Kickboxer. And I’m Amari, Amari Abe.” She explained to him. “And you are?” She asked, they’ve been talking and don’t even know each other’s names. Usually that’s the first thing that a person would start with.
Oh. He should have seen this coming. Hyosuke thought for a moment, looking at Amari closely. He was very closely guarded of his secrets, and for good reason. He had a lot of people out there who didn’t want him to exist. In fact, maybe one of them set this thing up… But then why would everyone else be here? Ether way, he wasn’t sure how much he should tell her. But she seemed trustworthy enough… And she was gorgeous. Besides, what could she possibly do with just his name?
“I’m Hyosuke Matsuura.” He said, holding out his hand for her to shake. “I’m the Ultimate B… Beekeeper.” He stuttered a bit, almost forgetting.
Sorano was mentally making notes in her head, Whether she wanted to or not in order to get out of this was to either be a victim of whatever weird game this was or take out whoever you can to survive. Sorano sighed trying to calm her frayed nerves.
But her thoughts came to a halt when a girl bumped into her, “Aaaah. I’m so sorry.” The girl stood up and tried to make sure that Sorano was okay. Sorano gave her a calm smile. “It’s okay, I know everyone’s shaken up.” Sorano stated. The girl was quite frankly adorable, Flower petals laid in her thick hair. Although Sorano slightly frowned…She was obviously younger than her. Just a kid. There even taking smaller kids…This is screwed up. Sora thought to herself.
“Sorano Namikaze! Ultimate Jujitsu Master at your service.” Sorano did a small semi-playful bow. Before extending her hand to the girl calmly.
@Kbail - Christina
She smiled and shook his hand. He seemed a bit hesitant, but she didn’t mind. She is a complete stranger to him so it is understandable. “Well, It’s nice to meet you, Hyosuke.” She replied and then spoke up again. “Beekeeper? That’s interesting. You are a very brave man. It’s fascinating how you deal with them. I’ve seen some people who just pick them up with their bare hand. That’s a whole new type of risk taker.” She told him with a small laugh towards the end. “What are we supposed to do now. I know they want us to explore.” She noted. She grinned as she thought of something. “Would you like to accompany me to find the kitchen? I’m sort of hungry as well.” She told him, gesturing to the door way. She just was talking about how they were strangers. He might not want to go because of that. “I mean- you don’t have to if you don’t want to though.” She said short of sheepishly.
Location: Gymnasium
Momo scowled at him. “You’re a sociopath.” She stated. “Glad you noticed, Cat-Girl.” Hayato slightly gave an amused smirk before his eyes went back to their dull cold state. Hayato watched silently she clearly had a small moment of warfare with herself before sighing.
“Fine.” She reluctantly agreed. Hayato looked beyond thrilled…Obsessively excited? Was the better term for it. “Finally! A lab partner who shares my interest in the lovely experiments of the world.” He gleamed. This was he only one true happiness. “Keep up, We need a plan.” Hayato semi-whispered as he snagged her arm as gently as he could and led her outside the still roaring auditorium.
A few hallways and ducking under a few signs later they found themselves in…A cafeteria? It was empty of course but the seats were fresh and new. “I do admire the school for there dedication to cleanliness. But first things first.” Hayato whipped around to face Momo.
"Are you okay with dissection, Chemicals and Toxins? If we want to reach that beautiful abomination of a bear we need a foolproof plan. Their has to be some sort of defense mechanism equipped with it and it’s not like we can just befriend it. No…He was too happy about the thought of innocent teens and young adults being subjected to this.
“People like that…” Hayato trailed off.
“People like me.” He added, Don’t have an inkling of care for friendship or the sanity nor safety of others. “So surprising it in someway would be a good bet. Or! A chemical concoction that we’d slip into those wires to temporarily shut it down. Just long enough to find out how it works and who’s behind this trap game.” Hayato smiled, Wickedly as he already felt his sanity slip slightly before shaking his head and folding his arms.
@GlitterFist - Momo
Sara had awoken in a classroom, in what seemed like a science lab actually. She spotted bottles all over and even goggles as well. “Oh, this is just great.” She says, not knowing exactly where she is. In front of her she notices a paper telling her to meet in the gym. She listens and slowly makes her way to the gym, unsure of what will await her. After whoever was on stage was done, two other girls spoke. The one held a gun, what is wrong with people these days. Hopefully she learns not to keep that here so openly. Sighing Sara doesnt have anything better to do, she decides she might as well explore. She sees a guy heading to leave after he grabbed his stuff. She had walked up to him and spoke,”Uh, hi there.” God, she was not good at this stuff. “So supposedly they want us to be with someone while we are exploring and since you’re alone. I thought that I might as well see if you want to join me?” She was very awkward about this because she didn’t normally ask for these things. She is independent so usually she’d go by herself, but after everything their was no way.
“Actually, I’m not any good at it.” Hyosuke chuckled. “At least, not as good as I’d like to be. I get stung everytime. My mother, though… She’s incredible with them. No matter what’s going on inside the hive, she’s always the real queen…” She let himself trail off. He didn’t know what it was about Amari that made him want to share so much with her. Maybe he was just… comfortable? That couldn’t be right, though. Hyosuke was never comfortable.
“Would you like to accompany me to find the kitchen? I’m sort of hungry as well.” She told him, gesturing to the door way. She just was talking about how they were strangers. He might not want to go because of that. “I mean- you don’t have to if you don’t want to though.” She said short of sheepishly.
Hyosuke blushed a little bit. “Sure. Y’know, if you want… I could cook something for you?” He offered.
She was a little scared by how excited this clearly made him. She almost wanted to change her mind and refuse to help him, but before she could, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into the hallway outside the gymnasium. His grip was vicelike, and she felt like, if she’d give him permission, he’d pull her arm right out of it’s socket. She was barely able to keep up as he pulled her along through doors and halls until the eventually arrived in the school’s cafetieria. He sat down at the end of one of the long lunchroom tables and pulled her down to sit in the seat next to him. His movements were all so sharp and intense, as if he were programmed to act human but his mechanics weren’t complex enough to mimic the smooth movements of someone sane.
“Are you okay with dissection, Chemicals and Toxins? If we want to reach that beautiful abomination of a bear we need a foolproof plan. Their has to be some sort of defense mechanism equipped with it and it’s not like we can just befriend it. No…He was too happy about the thought of innocent teens and young adults being subjected to this.”
Momo rolled her eyes. “O-Of course I’m okay with it. I suggested all of it back at the gymnasium, and you may know that already if you hadn’t completely ignored me.” She huffed. Pulling out her e-handbook, she turned it on and found it already loaded up to an app full of rules. “Aha. He must have some sort of defense in place, otherwise he wouldn’t have written this.” She said, holding up the screen to Hayato and pointing out the line that stated that violence against the headmaster was prohibited. “So I think we need to catch him by surprise. If one of the others does somethign big- Or against the rules- to distract him…”
