Phanganronpa: Prison in Haven
[All participants have signed up. If you are not registered, just read along and relax. Thank you. -C] It takes a while for you to open your heavy eyes. You're not sure where you are, and you don't remember coming here. All you know is, you're sitting at one of the eight tables in this room, long enough for two people, facing a podium. It's some kind of... meeting room. But who are these people with you?
"dafuq?" Alex was confused and just got up and sat on one of the tables
[Gou got up from his chair, and looked at the others.] "Who the hell are you all supposed to be? And where the hell are we?"
(edited by Gou_Fukami)
Ow...who turned on the lights? Star sits up, looking tired. Oh. People. Joy. Wake me up in an hour or when there's a bottle of soda to wake me up. Star goes back to sleep. Our goddess of insanity and chaos, ladies and gentlemen.
N-nngh.. What..? Sho awakens in the room, clutching his head with his hand as he looks around with a pained expression, what happened? He doesn't recognize this place, and these were new faces to him. Something is up here...
Alexei was sure he didn't stay up all night playing video games or chatting with friends on discord. Yet his eyes were telling him otherwise as they adjusted to his new illuminated surroundings. Once he felt functional he noticed the presence of other people. It was too early to deal with other people. They were pretty noisy too. With a thump his head falls back on the table. He emits a low sound as he stares down at the flat surface. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
"Huh...? Where am I?" They had awoken in a place I have never been in before... Or is it a dream? They decided to look around to see others with shared looks of confusion.
(edited by Micah)
Her eyes opened slowly and the first thing she see's is the drool on her right hand. She slowly lifts her head up and uses her left hand to support her sore head from laying down on the hard desk. Aaaggghhhhh..... *yawns* Where the fuck am I? I hope I'm still dreaming.... She rests her head on her two hands that were placed on the desk, thinking this was her own school due to her drowsiness.
Gin
*Gin awakes, yawning and stretching. He takes a look around the room with sleep filled eyes. Rocking back on his seat, He comes to a conclusion.* Well, This is definatly where I fell asleep last night. Heh heh.
A short while behind the others, a youngish girl, her long grey hair tied in twin tails wakes up. The girl seems somewhat shaky, glancing around at the others, almost like a frightened animal. For now, they say nothing
A Android like creature was on of the people present in the area it was rather brown of rust, jaged and withered it would be a surpise that the thing is functional at all. But surpsingly it begins to boot up as it slowly as part of it;s body illuminate and many grindy noises and a few sparks fly out of it but it's able to get up and immediatly starts to react ittentively to his surroundings noting how clear of a different a positionhe is in. Then he notices that he is not alone there are other present and it cause him to stop still and stay silent at all this confusion clearly something is wrong here.
*Alex recognized marionette from his cafe* "Yo."
Katsuo wakes up and clutches his head. His eyes are still closed. "Urgh, don't tell me I got shot in the head and now I'm in some afterlife talking to a guy in a suit..." He opens his eyes to look around at the other interesting characters. "Huh, guess I'm not dead. That's a relief... Anyway, anyone got painkillers? My head's killing me."
A voice can be heard in the room... "So, almost everyone is awake! That means it's go time!" Suddenly, a black and white bear pops up from behind a podium.
[Gou looked at the bear, and took a fighting stance.] "... Is that Maku's bastard son or something?!"
"What the hell is that...? A teddy bear that can talk?! I must have been drugged!"
The girl looks up at the sound of the new voice, paying no heed to Alex. Her eyes study the figure curiously, but for now they remain utterly silent, hugging themselves and shivering slightly
Star wakes up and chucks a frying pan at the bear. Fuck you... She proceeds to fall asleep again. Her narrator is facepalming right now at her randomness.
"meh get on with your spheal already" Alex would notice the bear, but wouldn't really care
Cent takes immediate attention to this small enthuastic bear it’s design is rather halfsplit and it can talk so it’s something out of the ordinary which is a understatement at best. Regardless he studies it with still not much to make or comment on the situation....at least not with so many people here.
As Natsuki put her head on her hands, she hears a voice coming from the front of the room. She instantly sits up and looks up since the Murder Bear's voice startled her. She slowly looks at everyone and quickly realized they were not from her school. What the-? Where am I? How did I get here? Oh no, not this again.... She was gonna say more questions under hear breathe until she looked up and saw the Murder Bear. Natsuki went from being confused to being annoyed. More talking animals? Jesus, my life doesn't get any easier....
..? Who are you? Sho stares at the strange thing in front of him, trying to use his ability to see what will happen next by concentrating, but finds his powers have been weakened... Not good.. Looks like he'll have to do this the old fashioned way.
The bear gets hit by the frying pan and falls over, but gets back up. "HEY! That's no way for you to treat the head researcher!" He seems pretty angry. "You're on thin ice lady!"
Alexei raises his head to look at the bear and his eyes immediately take on a certain shine to them. Already he begins working out the mechanisms of the bear as if it were a machine. Chances were it must be a machine lest they were all drugged. Albeit the drugging solution was more plausible Alexei chose to ignore it since the machine outcome would be better for him. As he ponders all this his hands twitch a little as if he can't wait to get his hands on the bear. Rip him apart and see what makes him tick. Are your a lame living creature or a cool robot? Please say robot ...
Gin
Oh, it's gonna be one of those days. Alright then. What do you want, "Head researcher"? This outta be worth a laugh at least.
two birds come out from Star. It seems she flipped the bear the double bird. Suck a duck, ya wacko! She pulls a bottle of soda out of nowhere and begins drinking it. Ah...okay, now I'm ready for whatever bullshittery is going on.
Did that lady threw that trying pan?! And where did it came from anyways? And head researcher? What for?! "I'm so confused what is even going on..."
"To answer your questions, no I'm not a talking animal, aaand... I am Monokuma! Your head reasearcher at this lab that I shall not name! By head reasearcher, I mean that you are some lab rats in a little game I'd like to play with you!"
(edited by The_Murder_Bear)
Katsuo stares at the strange bear. He's not gonna even ask... Wait, now would be the time for questions. "Who are you, and where are we?" Good, he answered his questions as he said them. He sighs and thinks of what else he can do.
(edited by TsukinoKatsuo)
After watching the others bicker for a moment, the girl sighs, shaking her head. She mutters something inaudible at first, before finally looking up and raising her voice Get on with it already. I'm sure you idiots have better things to do than waste time insulting each other
I'm still confused about all of this, but I guess I should calm down first.. "S-so why were we chosen?"
So not a talking animal means you could be a robot ... right??? Alexei ignores pretty much everything else said by Monokuma and opts to focus on that one key detail. If he was going to be stuck in a place with some randos he was going to find something to work on dammit and making a bear army had a feel to it. Of course his many robot bears would come in all sorts of different colors rather than a basic black and white color scheme. Do you happen to have any siblings Monokuma? Ones that look more colorful and nice?
Dumb question Time! " Is this a Meth lab?"
Head researcher? Lab rats? When did we agree to that? Sho looks at the bear quizzicaly, it wasn't making much sense, as far as he remembered, he didn't sign up for anything like this, and being a lab rat again didn't sound like fun.
...DUCKS! Suddenly, Star is in a pile of rubber ducks. ...I am content.
Natsuki looks at the bear that was split in white and black. Natsuki needed to have some of her answer questions so she talked to Murder Bear. A game?! *coughs* Unless if you are some lonely 40 year old guy in a bear costume who has a weird fetish, then I don't want to be part of this game of yours. Where are we? Who are you exactly? Natsuki saw the others who were just as confused as she is, trying to figure where they are also. She thought to her self that she was with some "sane" people, which relieved her a little.
"Game? We're supposed to play some stupid game for you?"
"Ah, more questions I see! Yes, I have 2 siblings and 5 children, but they kinda.... Exploded. And no, this is not a meth lab. And you were chosen for a special reason.... You see, this is being recorded to show despair to the entire world! Because this game isn't just any game..... It's a KILLING GAME! Upupupu~!" *The bear laughs maniacly*
"So basically we were captured and we are on the dark web or something like that? Sick entertainment..." Okay, maybe that is quite dangerous to say to your kidnapper. Especially one who kidnapped 16 people especially.
Yeah yeah sounds fun ... Dispirited Alexei once again thumps his head against the table and remains dead to the world. So many beautiful mechanical creations destroyed just like that. Life was honestly a bitch and a half to him right now.
A killing game!? Well that's stupid. Really, this is kinda dumb. I could get it if it was some reality TV show, but to show the world despair? Pfft! All you need to do is make a movie that doesn't have a happy ending!
Gin
*Gin looks at Monokuma blankly* I think I'll pass, thanks. Ha ha. Yeah, it's not gonna be that easy to get outta this one, huh?
"Not just the dark web, kiddo! Everyone in the entire world will see it, from every single screen! And sorry to say, ice king, but there's no way out of this! Every possible exit has been blocked off with titanium plates!"
(edited by The_Murder_Bear)
Natsuki eyes widen when she heard the Murder Bear say that she was in a killing game?! 'What the hell is this?' she said this in her mind. Haha. Very funny pedobear.... Laughing nervously as she realized that he might be serious since he DID kidnapped her and other people to play this game. For now, she stays quite so that she doesn't attract too much attention on herself.
A game huh.. So thats what you think this is? Ill prove you wrong. This isn't a game. I'll show the world there can be hope. I've done it once and I'll do it again. Sho then takes a deep breath and thinks for a second, a game huh? Well there has to be some catch, better figure it out so he can develop a strategy Alright. For now I'll play along though. Tell me. What is this game.
So...are we on the moon!? And when do we start!? And what are the rules!?
"See, the concept is simple! There's only one condition to be able to leave. You have to murder! Once you do that, you have a chance to get a promotion and leave this lab!"
(edited by The_Murder_Bear)
Gin
Ice King? Well, I mean at least it's a king. Anyone can be a peasant, and a powerful warrior can be a daimyo, but a ruler is for man only. Heh heh heh. *Gin coughs nervously.* I... feel like I got distracted from the matter at hand. I really don't think any of us... *Gin glances at Star* Most of us are gonna kill anyone.
How is that possible? Every single screen in the entire world? "So why were we so special for you to kidnap all of us?"
(edited by Micah)
Cool so are you giving us the animals or do we have to catch our own? I don't do experiments with no rules. Alexei knew science and what it often took to be able to make something new. He did feel bad for the potential animals that could be hurt, but science needed those victims to be great. He just hoped the others weren't as squeamish as he believed them to be.
Katsuo thinks it over, a "killing game"... This is going to make him sound strange and all but it may be his best bet for survival... "You know, Monokuma..." A faint "Oh god, what am I doing?" runs through his mind. "You look quite nice, this may make me sound weird and all but I feel a... Strange attraction."
Natsuki ears sprung up when she heard the word "murder". She used to be afraid of that word, still is. However, she still has some confidence in herself since she was a taught a thing or two about self defense. For now, she kept on listening to Murder Bear quietly.
The bear is confused for a second, then remembers Katsuo's talent. "Sorry, Ultimate Charmer, but I'm a robot, remember? I don't feel love! I was programmed only to love despair!"
"What. The. Fuck." He literally flirted with a talking bear! And he is the Ultimate Charmer as well? He may have already gotten a plan, but it failed.
(edited by Micah)
M-murder? Why would any of us do such a thin- Sho then stops himself, he knows why, people have their reasons, but there has to be another way out, have to, that's the trick, they want to test him? Fine, but they won't break him. Hmmm, I understand then, but don't expect your little game to be interesting. You won't get what you want.
You know what, fuck it! I'm starting a club! The Happy Time No Murder Club! Just because I wanna be a total ass to this robot teddy bear! Who's with me!?
Gin
*Gin rests his head in his arm in an attempt to muffle his laughter at what Katsuo just did.* That was so stupid. Ha ha ha!
YESSSSSSSS YOU ARE A ROBOT! Invigorated with this reveal Alexei stumbles out of his chair and practically leaps at Monokuma. He could already imagine all the possibilities once he opens the dumb bear up and takes out every scrap of him. Of course he would save the bear exterior for novelty purposes, but whatever was in him had to go for the sake of better robot building. Kneeling at the feet of the wonderful robot bear Alexei just wishes that he had his blowtorch with him. Along with some extra boxes for free wifi. Monokuma-senpai please take me in as your student. I could learn so much from a bear like you. Please Please Please~
"... I'll kill you. I'll fuckin' kill you, you goddamn bear! You call killing people a goddamn game?!" [A flame-like purple aura started flaring up around Gou.] "I'LL FUCKIN' KILL YOU!"
"Uh are you sure you want to do that, miss..? He could kill us at any second!" Oh, of course...
(edited by Micah)
Gin
I'll join. I don't really feel killing folks.
Yes, I'm very sure! I don't care about death, and why does everyone care anyway!? We have revival items! We can just come back to life! Unless this guy installed a no revival thingy, we can just come back to life!
Seems like everyone here is either brave, too stupid to see the real danger, or just excited to murder everyone. Natsuki, hesitantly giving Murder Bear an answer. Fine. I'll join this stupid game *mumbles* since you kidnapped me and I can't get out.
[Gou starts to calm down.] "... I'll play along with your bullshit, for now. But once I get the chance... You're fuckin' dead."
"How fun, I'm with crazy people.. Just great." They started to stare at Star and Gou.
So he sicko bear is a robot huh? And he wants us to play a killing game this sounds awful but like a normal day in the office at the same time. He approaches the Monokuma and starts speaking for once and softly to it for his sake and interest. “A robot are you? Quite a interesting build and design but you look rather innocent on the outside, yet you looked rigged arn’t you.” He grunts a bit but is impressed with the model far more advance then a overgrown rustbucket like him and probably dealt as sin.
Katsuo decides to push on, maybe Monokuma's lying. Ultra charm mode, go! "O-oh, well..." He puts a hand to his cheek and turns his head as if he was hiding a blush. "Can't you deviate from your program..." He takes off his glasses and looks straight at Monokuma. "For lil' ol' meee~?"
Naoya was the last one to wake up as he finds himself in the strange room "...where am I...?" He wonders, not really remembering everything "...What's going on..?" he asks, not knowing what is happening
(edited by Naoya_Toudou)
Star comes out of her pile of rubber ducks holding up a pink flag that reads "Happy Time No Murder Club." I hereby deem the Happy Time No Murder Club official! May we never murder anybody, and be a dick to our bear kidnapper!
Gin
*At Star's battle cry, Gin sticks a hand in the year and lazily says* Hoorah.
"Upupupu! You won't be so tempted not to murder once you get this!" Monokuma throws everyone a clock. Katsuo, Micah, and CakeCat's clocks have 24 hours left on it, Alexei, Marionette, Star, Cent, and Gou's clock have 50 hours left on it, and Everyone elses clock have 72 hours on it.
"Happy time no murder club...? What's that?" Naoya asks, being unconcious for that part, "and I still don't understand what's going on." Right as he said that, a clock lands in front of him, showing 72 hours on it. "...What's this for...?"
(edited by Naoya_Toudou)
[Gou looks at the clock.] "The hell...? The more this shit goes on, the more it sounds like it is an Akugata plot..."
Gin
*Gin catches his clock with one arm and looks at.* Hmm. A clock, huh? Let me guess. Our lives or on a time limit. If no-one kills by the time the clokcs run out, that person will die. Of course, that's just speculation.
(edited by Gin)
..72 hours? What? Sho catches the giant clock in his arms before dropping the clock on the floor from how heavy and big it is, the wooden structure of the grandfather clock hitting the floor and making a loud noise Why is it so big!?
The bear looks awkwardly at Alexei. "Wow, you seem very excited for being the ultimate inventor. Well maybe your prize for surviving this killing game could be my blueprints!" He looks back at Katsuo. "Sorry, but programming is programming kiddo! Your charm is a no-go for me!"
Natsuki got the clock and saw the timer had 72 hours on it. What the hell is this? Natsuki mumbled this again to herself. Since this is a game, the only thing that she could be thinking of right now is the clock is a count down timer. Which means that if the timer runs out, really bad things are going to happen...
So...what the fuck is up with the clocks?
He looks at Gin. "Oh, no. It's so much worse than death. And the only way to stop the clock is to murder!"
"Hey, bear! Explain what these are right now!"
"24 hours; like to live?! You are insane!" I'm starting to panic... Is this the motive to murder?!
Cent catches his clock and holds it in his arm....50 hours what’s that suppose to mean it’s some kind of timer and a motive what would that relate to this current situation....Oh snap is this possibly. Cent Glares down Monokuma but still mumbles quietly. “Is this a bomb!? Or no a death clock ain’t it are our lives on the lines?” Cent was growling he was rather on edge now with this motive throw down.
He looks at star as well. "Sorry, but revival items, and any type of ressurection won't work here! Once you're dead, it's game over forever as long as your body is in here! With my patented Rez-Block-O-Maticâ„¢! Even your goddess powers won't work here, ultimate chaos goddess!"
Worse than death? Like what, it'll send our nudes out onto the internet for all to see? And like I give a fuck! I'll be out of here within a month! I say a month because that's how long it'll be before your ass is kicked!
(edited by Starwaddle)
Gin
Worse than death? Ooh. Now I'm curious to see what it does. Can those with 24 hours left... or about 23: 50.. not kill anyone. I wanan to see what it does. Oh. Er. Sorry if that sounds cruel. Eh heh heh.
Alexei receives his clock with a smile and mentally notes the time given to him. Not knowing what it was meant for did make him nervous, but eh it probably wasn't anything too bad. Not much could bother him in the grand scheme of things. Now the idea of actually surviving this deal was plausible with how lamish everyone else looked. He wasn't going to risk it though and mentally made not to build some sort of defense mechanism. Murder was way too much work anyway better to just crouch and hide. Thanks Monokuma~ I Look forward to those blueprints of yours along with your internal parts.
"I just said! Time runs out, and something TERRIBLE will happen! Even worse than death! Oh, just thinking about it fills me with so much despair! Upupupu~!!"
The girl carelessly looks over her clock, it almost certainly has a way to determine if its been tampered with, though perhaps she could find that first and remove the tamper-proofing, alter the clock a little, then add the tamper-proofing back. Though that would require proper materials, her hands aren't going to be good enough to do that. For now, the girl silently watches the other victims. If someone's going to die, it can't very well be her
OOC: I'd appear. But I'm at work.
"So...we have a clock to determine how long we live before we either murder or die...?" Naoya said, he is visibly shocked at this revelation. He decided to keep his sanity or else he will be no better than those who may end up being the murderer. "...What if someone is murdered, then what happens?" He looks up to Monokuma, asking inquisitivley
Ooc: that's fine, but just know I'm still gonna include anyone who isn't currently here.
Understandable have a nice day.
Katsuo puts his glasses and examines his clock. 24 hours until something bad happens, great. He has to kill someone sooner rather than later. He takes the clock with him. "Great..." Monokuma resisted the charm again. This is actually a challenge now, a challenge he's ready to f- Wait, is he getting a burning passion for the love of a murder bear? His life's really taken a turn. "I swear, one day I'll gain your love, beyond your measily programming!"
"So w-what is it anyways?! What is worse than death?!" I guess I should think that it could be a lie to make us kill someone, but I'm not sure...
Naoya just stares at katuso weirdly and blankly. "...What?"
"If someone murders, then all of the clocks will stop! And the terrible thing won't happen! As well, the murderer will still be promoted!"
She saw that the digital clock said 72 hours on it. She looked around saw that other people's clock said other times like 50 and 24 hours. This added more questions into him pile so she got up slowly and walked up to Murder Bear and ask him about the different times. So, why does some people have 72 hours and the others have 50 or 24 hours?
(edited by Natsuki)
"Worse than death... You... How the fuck... No. There's no way Jan, Retsu and the others could be threatened by a goddamn bear."
So what, we kill someone out in the open, or do we make it like a crime scene kinda thing?
"It's good of you to ask, little miss! It's just so some can see the others fate if they don't murder. Or, it might be just to mess with you all. Who knows? No one but me and a special someone, that's who! Oops, have I said too much?"
I bet there would be a catch to this, I mean, it would be too easy, right? We didn't have time to introduce each other, or is it to make murder happen more quickly? "It has to be all lies, right..?"
Gin
Hmm... So, you're leaving it up to our imagination what this horrendous thing is. Clever. Whatever we think up will likely be worse than what will actually happen. Hell, for all we know, it might be something inconsequential. *Gin sighs.* I wonder what everyone will do. I wonder wh... Special someone?
(edited by Gin)
"I'd recommend you be as secret as possible when you murder!"
Natsuki mouth opens wide for a few a moments and she used her jaw to close it back up. Ohh... That's.... concerning.... and someone else? Who agreed to do this shit with you anyway? Natsuki said this in a very irritated tone, setting aside her clock.
...so...do we have our own rooms to live in?
"Do you hear me?! I will not give up in the pursuit of YOUR AFFECTION!" Katsuo shows determination for something he shouldn't be determined to do.
"Shut up, Super Seducer. The lady's got a point. Where the fuck are we supposed to spend those hours, Bear?"
"Yep! In fact, here you go!" Monokuma gives everyone a tablet. On the tablet, it has the students name, talent, other information about themselves and all of the other students, the motive, and a map of the school. all of the info is in the discord for this so just check Caits latest topics "Well, I gotta skidaddle! Have fun killing each other!" And so, monokuma jumps behind the podium. If looked behind, no one is there...
"So what should we do now?
(edited by Micah)
Gin
*Gin takes his tablet and flicks through everything.* Huh. Neat. *He looks over at everyone else.* So, Hi. Are we gonna do introductions and be friendly or are we just gonna kill eachother and be mean, because I don't really like the second idea. Just putting it out there.
and for those of us who don't use discord? Because I was specifically told it wasn't required?
If needed, our dear narrator that is now taking over can pull some strings to bring the map up on imgur. But for now, let us start this "phase." Each Phase, should you wish to act in a way you don't want anyone to know about such as murder or something similar, DM Cait what you want to do. Discord is preferred, although PMs work too. I will also be your GM to describe the area. Rping is encouraged during this time, at least until the end of the Phase. The Afternoon/Evening Phase has started. Explore, murder, whatever floats your boat!
"I guess introductions! Basically hi, I'm gonna die in like 24 hours maybe."
[Gou looked at the map on the tablet.] "... Fuck, I can't read this. This is the one time Ran would have been useful, and she ain't here." [He looked at the others.] "The name's Gou Fukami. Leave me alone, else something might happen to you."
(edited by Gou_Fukami)

Gin
Hello I'm gonna die in like 24 hours maybe. My names Gin. Gin Gin Bara. Ultimate Cryomancer. Basically, I use freezey magic and make bad jokes. Sorry ahead of time for the latter, by the way.
Nah, nah, put more effort into introductions! Like this! Hi, I'm Star Sakura. I'm the goddess of insanity and chaos, and a pretty friendly person who likes to be nice to people and cause a bit of havoc when I can. That's how I think an introduction should be done.
Katsuo sighs. "I'm Katsuo Tsukino, you already know me as the Ultimate Charmer. Please don't question why I flirted with it after my first attempt failed, something just came over me during that time."
It's alright, it good to try to be optimistic in this situation. Well, my name is Michi Fujita, but please call me Micah! I'm unfortunately the Ultimate Unlucky Student.
Natsuki see's the tablet and saw all of the information listed in it. 'Has he been spying on me?'. Natsuki saw the information to be too accurate for her to taste. She also see's the others names and their information as well. "wtf...?". She looks around and see's the other people in the room. Based on what she read, she wanted to look out for the crazy people: Gou, Star, and Cent. For now, she walked to a nearby desk without talking to anyone and continued looking over the map and reading the other student's info.
The girl barely even pays any heed to the tablet, only flicking through it to find the map before heading out of the meeting room, straight to lab 12 across the hall, all the better to avoid having to talk to these rejects more
Lab 12 is a generic chem lab, with some chemicals out and most tucked away in cabinets. There were multiple warning labels on certain ones. A shower and eye wash station is located near the door, next to a fire extinguisher and fire blanket.
"Um, anyways, did Monokuma stalked us or something? The info seems accurate for me.."
Hmm...dunno...but I'mma check Lab 13. It might be a nice place. Star walks out of the meeting room to check out lab 13.
Lab 13, while not housing anything apparently dangerous, is home to some plants grown under bright lights. A large section of them are only being grown hydrophonically (in nutrient-rich water without soil).
"Wait a minute, there are elevators on this floor! So it could have a possibility to get us out of here!" Finally something to be excited about!
Natsuki kept reading through the tablet until she saw the map and saw there was a cafeteria nearby. So, she got up and avoided eye contact with everyone in the room and went straight to the cafeteria since she didn't ate anything today. She hoped to find some bread or some desserts there.
Naoya sighs as he looks at the tablet, showing his info and so... "Well...this is a real mess if you know what I mean..." He mubled to himself as he puts his hand over his face... "Welp, might as well get this out of the way, I'm Naoya Toudou, the ultimate..." He paused, not knowing what his ultimate even is. "...Ultimate Unknown...?" He said, holding his head as if he's trying to remember, but he couldn't
[Gou simply walked into the cafeteria.] "Guess it's back to solo riding for me... Let's just hope I won't turn into a goddamn werewolf again."
Gin
He's not working alone. Just a tool of someone. To get the information they needed, it take a while solo. But for it to be so accuarate, we can assume we've been kidnapped by some sort shadowy organisation. *Gin drummed his fingers on the desk before grabbing his clock and his tablet and moving to leave.* I'm gonna check out what those numbered rooms are. See you around, lucky.
The cafeteria is a fair size, clearly meant for a relatively large crowd. Near the back is the kitchen. Approaching said kitchen would reveal a variety of goods in that room, from fruits to vegetables to even desserts! The rooms numbered 1-16 have a name taped to each. Looking inside, it's obvious they're bedrooms for everyone.
(edited by Cait_Sith)
Hmm...I think I'll just put this here... Star places the Happy Time No Murder Club flag in a corner of the room, claiming it for the club to use, seeing as how it's a relatively safe room. She heads to her room to check that out next.
"Um, ok, see you later Gin!" So according to the map, once I get out of the meeting room I should turn right. Okay, I got it. (Micah leaves the Meeting Room solo)
Gin
*Gin looks for his room and enters it.* Well, at least they're nice enough to let us sleep somewhere.
The bedrooms are simple with a bed and bathroom as well as a dresser, but cozy enough. The two elevators sit, unblocked, a beacon of peace and freedom. However, pressing buttons near them will yield... a whole lot of nothing.
Star enters her room. Hmm... it's a nice place, but it's not exactly safe...I know! Star pulls some rope out of her pocket, along with some hooks and a block of wood, and gets to work constructing a boobytrap.
"Aww, dammit! There goes my hope I guess... But maybe they are currently broken for now?" ( Micah checks the map again) "Hmmm... Maybe I should go to the cafeteria!" Well especially since i have no idea since when I last ate anyways.
As mentioned before, the cafeteria is fairly large, with a myriad of foods in the kitchen in the back. Nobody will be going hungry any time soon.
Yeah... this'll do for now. I'll make a better version later. What Star has set up is a system where when someone opens the door by twisting the knob to the right, a large block of wood would come swinging out the door, the block being held up by some rope and hooks. Well, now I'll just relax and play the waiting game. Star gets onto her bed and rests for a bit, not bothering to lock her door.
Katsuo checks the map and decides to head to the area near lab 13.
To his left and front, Katsuo sees multiple rooms, each with a number and name- including his. To his right is Lab 13, with its hydrophonic plants and a... certain flag left by a goddess.

Gin
*Gin drops the clock and the tablet on the dresser before collapsing on the bed.* What a day. What a day. What a goddamn day. *Gin sighs, getting up and looking into the dresser. He pulls out a pen and a notepad.* Hmm... I can use this.
"They certainly have planned for us to live a long time here..." Hope there is some hot chocolate ingredients in here to calm me down a bit.
As ultra-prepared as this place is, yes, there are.
Katsuo looks over to his room. "Alright, hopefully someone isn't waiting for me with a knife." He enters the room and locks the door behind him, if they even have locks. He places his clock on the bed and checks how much time he has left.
"Nice! They do have everything here!"
By this point, his clock's approaching 23 hours. And still decreasing. He's one of the unlucky three to be in this much danger. By about this time tomorrow, the punishment will come... ...good thing his door could lock.
(edited by Cait_Sith)
[Gou simply looked at Micah as she prepared her Hot chocolate.] "... Guess if she's that unlucky, I'll have to keep an eye on her. She's an easy target for anyone that wants her dead..."
As Natsuki entered the cafeteria, she sees the giant amounts of food. Her eyes turned very big and her mouth was drooling a little and showing a fang in the top left corner of her mouth. She quickly walked to the deserts and cobbled down most of what it's there. The feeling of being stuffed was a rare feeling for her to have. She walks to a nearby table in the cafeteria and gobbles down more of her desserts.
"Hmm? Do you mean me?" Well I guess this isn't the first time...
be bacj soon, food
nvm gon be gone for nite
"Yeah, I mean you. You're an easy pick if someone wants to kill you. You're like an abandonned puppy. And I fuckin' love puppies."
Naoya, deciding that he should at least check out his room, decided to go there...
...hmm...I should put a sign on my door actually, so people know I'm not fucking around. Star pulls out some paper, tape, and a purple crayon, and draws up a quick sign that reads "Room is boobytraped. Don't enter." It's very crudely drawn in the purple crayon. Star opens her door, sticks the paper on outside of her room, and then shuts the door to go back to resting.
Welp, I guess it's time to check out my room then. But I have to make sure i get the right one or I'm possibly dead. Room 8, sadly right next to Star's... "Well uh see you all later!" I hope i won't wake up dying....haha....
[Gou followed Micah, to make sure she didn't accidentally mess up.]
After she was done eating, she got up and exited the cafeteria where she saw in the map that she was going to room 15, her room. She walked out and made a right and made another right and then she saw her room. She got inside of the room and locked her door so that no one can come in. She sets the clock on the dresser and laid down in her bed. She looked at the tablet more and saw that there was other labs in the floor. She has a plan for those labs but for now, she took a quite nap so that she can regain her energy.
(Around half way, Micah notices the You was following them) "H-huh? You are going to your room as well? I kinda have a bad feeling about this, but it's probably nothing!
"I'm following you to make sure you don't fuck up and enter the crazy bitch's room."
Star opens her door and yells at Gou and Micah. I may be crazy, but I don't wanna kill people! I started the Happy Time No Murder Club for a reason you know! Star shuts her door and goes back to resting.
"Ah, thanks, nice to know!" I think I can trust him, despite being the Ultimate Violence, he is pretty nice! She is definitely nuts but I'm sure she won't kill anyone on purpose...
(edited by Micah)
*Alex just walks into his room* I'll see day again, eventually. Now for survival *Alex just puts up the clock and opens his bag* "Now let's see.."
[As he saw Micah enter her room safely, Gou went to his own.] "Heh... Didn't think I'd play bodyguard for some unlucky chick. If I remember correctly, hers is a 24 hours clock..." [He then tapped his brow with his fist.] "Man... What's gonna happen?"
"Anyways, Thank you You for making sure I would safely to go my room! And have a good night as well!" Okay, my room is definitely Room 8. I checked it multiple times to not die and got Gou's help. (Micah goes into their room and locked their door and made sure it was 100% locked)
...meh, it's getting late. I'm locking up for the night. Star locks her door and sleeps for the night.
better lock door *Locks door*
just to make life easier, if you want to kill someone or say something secret about this, you can dm/pm me as well as cait.
After comming to terms with what is going on and so, Naoya thinks outloud to himself while he's in bed. "A killing game...something that we get promoted for if we kill...I don't like the sound of that..." He thinks out loud to himself as he decides to go lock the door for a bit... "might as well sleep...I'm not going to commit murder anyway..." He said as he went to sleep
am Kido plz forgiv Kido wakes up from the meeting room. She missed the entire spiel. Whatever drugs they put her on were a little to strong. What the hell...? Where am I am? Hello, is anyone else here?? She looks at the clock that is laying in front of her and picks it up I have no idea how I got here, but I should probably start looking around.
(edited by Mako-chan)
Cent is actually still roaming the hallways for a while now rather then returning to the dorms as he considers doing a recon sweep before calling it a day he ends up crawling in the direction near Kido but is a little unaware as her busy scanning and trying to familarize his surroundings.
(edited by Centunculus_fur)
@Centunculus_fur H-Hey... Could you tell me where I am?
Cent alarmed by this new voice quickly whips around and jumps back in a defensive stance trying to study Kido a bit he actually did not see her leave the room...did she just wake up from the room just now? That rather shocking in a good ot bad way. He's hesitant to speak to her but it would be unfair to leave her dazzed and confused so he musters up some will to speak "Did you just wake up? Who are you?" He softly mumbles this and cocks his head still studying this newcomer.
Y-Yeah... I did. My name is Tsubomi Kido. I have no idea how I got here or what this place is.
"Understood....I am Model Centunculus_Fur reporting...." He seemed like he struggled to utter those words out of his mouth and looks away for a moment before turning back to Kido. Since she has no idea on what is going on priority one is to explain the situation they have found themselves in it only seems fair to keep everyone up to date. "Allow me to explain the circumstances I and a few other subjects have found themselves in." He more or less tries to explain how they all got forced into a killing game by certain individuals for uncertain goals trying to cover the basics so Kido can wrap it all clearly. He ends it off by telling that most went to their dorms and the motive in which he pulls out his clock that's been counting down. "I hope that was not to much to digest...but this is the scenario that we are burde with."
Completely speechless and with a look of pure terror on her face, she stumbles into her room, locks and barricades the door, and tumbles into bed
Cent is a little bit stuned by how bad that went. Maybe he should appologise to her later but at this point maybe she hates him or is terrified of him yeah real nice going. Regardless he decides to call it a day before attracting more unwanted attention and return to his room making sure to lock and secure his door tight for tonight. He then spends his time tampering with the clock to understand what it's about for a bit before finally calling it a enough and shutting off with a few creeks and sparks.
Shotaro was given a lot to think about as he finally retired to his room. The strange clock given to him by the even stranger bear thing. The strange killing game given to them by the strange bear thing. The strange bear thing. "Ah mou!" He tosses himself face first onto his bed with a cry of stress. "No memories. No gear. No henshin." He speaks into the mattress with all the enthusiasm he could possibly muster. After a few moments face down, he finally opts to not suffocate and sit up. He silently looked towards the door with a frown. "So I wait to see who makes a move then? No. This has greater stakes than I first thought..." He swallows hard and adjusts his hat as he watches the door. The door remains unlocked.
It seems we are mostly done for this phase... I shall officially end it a little after 1 est, since that's when I shall be first available. Feel free to do anything in the meantime, or just wait. If I'm not mistaken, only CakeCat is missing.
Not being a fan of people in general. Alexei just went to his room first chance he got and stayed there for the rest of the day. He tried to take apart the clock or "fix" it, but none of his methods really worked. So he instead settled for just laying on the bed and staring up at the ceiling. He didnt know what tomorrow would bring or who would go for first kill. I am going to live till the end~ He tells himself to bring up personal morale. It was almost pretty much fact for him. If there was a robot to pick apart he certainly wasn't gonna die before he did just that.
So far, no tragic events have occurred. The only thing that happened overnight is that there was an odd sound outside, like clanging metal... The wake-up announcement over the loudspeaker announces the new day. It is the Morning Phase. Feel free to do whatever. Socializing/"free time events" are certainly encouraged. Our headmaster shall be around in a few hours irl should you want to speak with him...
The chime signalling the new morning rang for a long time in Shotaro's ears. He had spent the night watching his door in an attempt to catch an eager killer early. But that didn't happen. He stood up and glanced to the odd clock on his dresser, he made a mental note of the time and stepped outside his room into a new day.
The young, grey-haired girl from yesterday gets up, glancing at her own timing clock. Some others had even less time than she did, it’s good to notice. The girl mutters to herself as she heads out the door into public space in front of the rooms Someone’s going to die soon. One way or another
[As soon as the annoucement rang, Gou headed straight towards Micah's room.] "Looks like she's still in there. Guess I'll have to wait here." [He tapped his brow with his fist.] "Man... This is a weird situation."
"Ugh.. It is morning already? Guess I'll unpack some of the stuff out of my binder..." (Micah gets up and goes towards their dresser and opens their binder) A plush tanuki, one dreamcatcher, a wooden maneki-neko, and a horseshoe...? When did that get in there? (Micah quickly notices the horrible clock in their room) "Until evening, huh? "
(edited by Micah)
Cent reawaken again much smoother then last time. He start his day by just tiding his Room and workspace before slowly crawling his way outside his dorm into the desolate chambers they are confind in. The real question was what to do or where to start as he looked at his clock that he tried to tamper with but to no sucess. "Many Questions remain with little answer time, to gain more data." Cent glanced at the others leaving their room and felt something uneasy about it all. "And avoid attention if I so please..." Cent started to crawl away to Lab 14 to begin feeding his curiosity and boredom.
"hello lady!" heh. Now time for breakfast! Alex leaves his room to go to the cafeteria. I should really be socializing, cause it seems that I look most like the killer
Lab 14 has plants like Lab 13, but the condition of the plants... varies. Some are wilted, and others fine. There are some growing hydrophonically here, too. There are some notes lying around... something about ppm of something different for each tank... The type of plant varies, too, from crops to clovers.
Gin
Morning already huh? *Gin stretches, reluctant to get up. He unlocks his door and leaves his room, looking over at Gou. He clears his throat* You know, Banner, If that's your attempt at waiting to murder someone, you're not exactly doing it right.
After waking up, Kido unblocks her door and walks outside. She goes straight to the kitchen and starts making something.
"Banner? The fuck's that supposed to mean?" [He tapped his brow with his fist.] "Man... I'm not trying to kill anyone, damnit. I'm just here to make sure the unlucky chick doesn't get into trouble."
Gin
You know? Bruce Banner? The Incredible Hulk? You're the Ultimate Violence. Figured it was appropriate. *Gin scratched the back of his neck.* So, you've designated your self as Lucky's bodyguard, eh? Hmm... Heh heh. Not the worse thing couple in the world, I suppose.
"... The incredible who?"
Cent stares at the wilted plants with much dissapointment such life which is poorly taken care of but is also immersed in the boutiful crops present perhaps this can be used for gradening and agricultural purposes how delightful. He makes his way over to the notes and flips through them maybe something of notice like how to take care of the plant or the types present here anything of interest could help.
"For today's hopefully lucky charm is....the horseshoe! It might help me later or be a paper weight!" (Micah puts back the horseshoe back in the binder for hope of good luck) Know what? I'm gonna decorate a bit in here. Tanuki plush right next to my bed, I'll find something to hang the dreamcatcher with later, and leave the manki-neko on the dresser...
Gin
You've never heard of the incredible Hulk? You know, from the Marvel movies? The big green guy whose pretty much an anger filled monster who beats up everything in an awesome manner? Man, I hope this place has a theatre with at least the first Avengers movie. I gotta show you some time.
With no one feeling the need to disturb her, the girl heads over to lab 12 again to check if any of the chemicals are missing
"I'm not exactly in touch with pop culture. I've been... Busy... For a good 10 years."
Gin
A decade? Damn, you have things if you've been busy for that damn long. Kinda feel bad you, my man.
No chemicals are missing. All that's in the books are instructions on the conditions required for each tested plant, but the control group could be used to figure out ideal conditions. There are clovers, kelp, strawberries, potatoes, some types of weeds...
Sho awakens with a stir and tries to gather his wits, after spending a few minutes to remember everything that happened yesterday, checking his tablet he looks at the student list before he gets up and steps out of his room, looking around before setting out. Secret Action Commence!
(edited by Sho_Kasugi)
"Hmmm... Okay I think I'm ready to go out now; I got all I need I think." (Micah opens the door to see Gin and Gou are talking to each other) "Good morning you two!"
A listing of all the crops here it's rather useful for him. Cent decides to look through these said grouping of crops starting by locating the Weed and Kelp section they sound like the odd ones out.
"Oh, hi."
Gin
Oh, morning Lucky. Just talking to Banner over here about how uninformed he is about modern culture. *Gin scratches the back of his neck.* Well, I guess that just means people in the know have to open his eyes to what he's mean missing, yeah?
As Alex enters the cafeteria, he goes into the kitchen to make his breakfast and sees kido "Hi! Watcha makin'?"
"Guess so, but it's okay not to know everything modern you know?" I have a bad feeling something bad is definitely happening today. Well I definitely know it'll be this evening. Stupid timer.
The weeds seem to be doing better than other plants of similar concentrations of chemicals... but then again, these are weeds we're talking about. Kelp health varies much like that of the other plants. The worst ones in general seem to be in high concentrations of harmful compounds. This holds true for about all, but some plants grow decently in soil or water containing stuff like lead.
She notices the voice and turns around. Startled, she instinctively holds the knife in her hand in a bad defensive position Waaahh!!!! S-Sorry! She lowers her knife I'm making an omelette right now... I thought cooking would calm my nerves, but that's definitely not the case. She adjusts her hoodie and tries to act cool like she was never scared You're one of haven't seen yet. I'm Tsubomi Kido, the Ultimate Illusionist.
"s'ok, the name's Alex Liang. So how did you become the ultimate illusionist?" Alex was brewing a cup of coffee when he took a cage and was starting to put a soul into the coffee
Gin
Yeah, I can get. I mean I work part time in a museum focusing on the Sengoku era for a little pocket money, after all. But, 10 years of bit a stretch to not know anything about, don't you think? *Gin looked at Micah, raising an eyebrow.* You look down, Lucky? Something on your mind?
Sho continues with what he does, acting [secrect] while he does [secret], secret, secret, secret!
Satisfied that everything’s accounted for, the girl breathes a sigh of relief. One less potential threat at least. With that reassurance, the girl leaves lab 12 in order to check the next door, lab 11
"I've... Had a rough life. It's complicated, I doubt you guys would understand."
@Alex_Liang Oh... I can kinda turn invisible. I can basically make myself completely unnoticeable to the human eye. So, people kinda just started calling me Ultimate Illusionist.
"I'm just worried of what will happen if the timer stops you know? Fate worse than death... I wonder what it is..." (Micah looks toward to Gou) "You doing okay?"
(edited by Micah)
Lab 11 is just about the same. Similar chemicals, slightly different setup, although there's more beakers lying around. Someone should really clean up... But there's also a bunsen burner out, so that may be useful.
Gin
Eh. Probably nothing to terrible. You optimistic about these things, yeah? *Gin chuckles slightly.* I mean, it's not like lucks a factor in a pre-determined punishment, so you should be fine.
"Guess so, but remember it's the same dude who kidnapped 16 people though. "
(edited by Micah)
"that is one useful ability, and mine is basically manipulatimg souls and making zombies, nothing big. I learned this all from a lich and I still carry some of him today." Alex now was working on a tuna sandwich.
"Yeah, I'm fine. The one I'm worried about is... my brother."
This room seems to be another wild experimentation of plants it seems to have left both desirable and undeirable feeling for both his inner science and gardening passions. But while this does fasinate his nerdy ways it does not yield much answers he is looking, or msybe it does but it's not clear only way to find out is to dig deeper for SCIENCE. "Storage compartment and Sryngie hand functional, collecting plant samples for further use." Perhaps this is all a false lead but start somewhere. Cent collects a heathy sample of Kelp, a sample of the weed, finally a sample of the lead filled water. He wraps up his Buisness in Lab 14 then makes his way out. "I'll need to find a place to store these samples and preserve them...but where.?"
The girl finds it a bit odd that the burner is in the lab without fire safety gear. Perhaps it was moved? Either way, the girl would immediately search the lab for a natural gas tap, which one usually finds attached to a sink or wall and allows the burner to funnel natural gas to be lit, and of course matches or a lab striker with which one might start the burner.
"You have a brother? Oh, ok, I understand why you are worried now..."
@Alex_Liang Y-Yeah, no big deal at all... She walks away with her breakfast in hand, and NOW checks the elevators
There is fire safety gear now that Marionette looks, but it's still irresponsible to leave the lab in such a state. There are some nozzles on the side of some sinks, which can be turned on to expel methane. There is even an emergency gas shutoff button on the wall. A drawer contains a striker. The elevators are as powerless as ever.
(edited by Cait_Sith)
Tch, figures. She walks back to the kitchen and starts stuffing food in her pockets and gathering as much as she can in her arms
Gin
I see. So your worried about family, huh? I can kinda relate. Sis is probably worried about me as well. Heh heh. *Gin folds his arms, going into thought.* So. What do you guys think is the goal of these guys? They it's to "spread despair" or whatever, but I wanna say there's a bit more than that to their plans, right?
"Monokuma did say we are on every single screen in the world. It is most likely sick entertainment as well.."
(edited by Micah)
Sho continues what he's doing! Can't leak any information just yet!
Along with a bunch of water, she hauls all the consumables to her room where she locks the door and pushes whatever heavy object she can find in front of it. Soft sobbing can be heard from the room.
"If we're on every screen in the world... Then my team probably knows about this situation. It's weird they didn't come yet, especially since... Well, we did beat a giant multi-headed dragon once. I doubt breaking into a Lab would be the hardest thing to do."
With no clear path Cent goes to Lab 11 next to maybe store the samples away apon entering he sees that someone is already in there but choses to ignore them and just crawl his to the Beakers and fiddles with them. "This could probably hold the lead water fluid and one for the kelp specimen and another for the Weed." He releases the Kelp, Weed and Lead Water into seperate beakers and tries to find maye something to cover it up.
Gin
Exactly. Unless they have some hell of a defence force guarding this place or this thing is seriously hidden, the cops or someone would've found this place and broken us out. Hmm. Well, we have to think that someone is coming. We just simply have to outlast the bears demands of murder and wait. We have everything we need to wait, so that's all we need to do.
Sho stops doing his special action and notices the sobbing, knocking on the door and patiently waiting. Speaking out to try and get their attention Hello? Are you alright in there? Need someone to talk to?
It's hard to find something here, but maybe there's something in the kitchen to use to cover it, like plastic wrap or something.
"I agree, we should wait and see if help is coming soon." (Mikah starts to hear sobbing from somewhere.) Someone is crying? I don't recall of noticing anyone passing us at all.
@Sho_Kasugi W-What? Who are you? I-I'm not crying!
Me? I'm Sho, Sho Kasugai, you must be Kido right? Sorry for interrupting, I know I might be speaking out of turn. But don't do anything drastic alright? We'll all get through this if we work together. Hehe, don't worry, I won't tell. Just be careful alright? It's been nice meeting you. Sho then smiles, even if the person on the other side can't see and steps away, what to do now...
Katsuo couldn't sleep at all last night, even if he tried the thought of the terrible thing that'll happen once the clock struck zero woke him up. He checks his clock real quick, unlocks his door and exits his room, making his way toward the cafeteria to get something for breakfast, or at least just look at something he could have. "Out of all things, why did it have to be a time limit with no explanation to what happens?"
She mumbles to herself Stupid. This is insane. I've never met these people in my life, and now I'm expected to die here with them... What the hell did I do to deserve this?
A bit of a note... animated skulls are floating down the halls. It's not even Halloween...
Who is that guy at the door? The crying was from Room 7 apparently. The atmosphere is definitely heavy..
"AH!" Naoya said as he woke up, he had a bad dream...about his friends and so...and then some other things he couldn't make out clearly. "...It's just a dream..." He said to himself, whatever he imagined in it was too disturbing for even him to mention, just gotta get up and eat whatever's in the cafeteria...as he thought, his instincts led him to the cafeteria
Sho having decided what to do next, begins to walk through the halls to his destination, noticing the skulls and getting suspicious of them What.. Are these things?
"... Okay, I'll admit, I thought with Long dead I wouldn't see this kind of shit again." [He taps his brow with his fist.] "Man... I hope it's not another GenJuKen user."
(edited by Gou_Fukami)
"Skulls? I don't think it is October yet; or is it...time? I don't even know what time is it either." I should check my clock just in case if it is..
(edited by Micah)
Gin
Hmm. Seems the stress is getting to people. Whoever's coming better come quickly before temptation sets in. Because if that happen. Well, we not all live to be rescued. *Gin notices the skulls* Hmm? What on earth is happening now?
(edited by Gin)
After a few, final preparations, the girl cracks open the door to lab 11, not even bothering to glance outside before cheerfully shouting. Who wants to volunteer their timer for science?
Cent did find some covers for the beakers and quickly closed them now they are safer in his storage compartment and he quickly left the Lab for his comfort. Apon leaving though he encounters the animated skulls and freaks out a bit moving into a defencive crouch and letting out a snarl. After a bit of nothing happening he tried to approach the skulls slowly...
The skulls seem to be patrolling in a certain pattern, and are hopefully harmless.
"Huh? Gin, Gou, Do you think the skulls want us to check out something?"
(edited by Micah)
"I'll check out where they're going. I'll be back in a sec."
Shotaro watches the others go about their business from outside his own room. He still wasn't certain what the situation was going to end up like, but more than anything, he was exhausted from staying up all night. He lowers his hat to hide his eyes as it probably wouldn't look good on him. "Well, better see if I can find something to help wake me up." He mumbles to himself as he makes his way towards the kitchen. Spotting one of the animated skulls himself causes him to raise a brow and step aside. "What I wouldn't give for access to Philip's power..." He'd carry on until arriving at the kitchen. His goal was simple, find the tools to brew some coffee.
Hrm.. Nothing to note, onto plan B then! After returning to the halls, Sho continues his secret work!
Cent decides to follow the Skulls pattern to see their origin? There needs to be a explanation to this!
Gin
It's possible, I suppose. Wanna go take a look? Like... Banner is doing without us... OK then?
"Hey, I want to come with you too! You can't leave us behind you know?" (Micah tries to follow Gou)
(edited by Micah)
"Wait, you're gonna follow them? I guess I'll come with." Katsuo follows wherever the skulls are going. "This might be an indication that someone died..."
After seeing the skulls being seen, Alex was following sho, where ever he was going
"... Sure, you can come. At least that way, I can keep an eye on you."
The skulls suddenly decide to vanish into some now-open vents. Odd. Who opened these in the first place?
Gin
Lucky? Oh god damn it. Guess I'll come with you guys too.
(edited by Gin)
Naoya Notices the skulls, yet decides not to bother with them for now, unless they attack...he can fight them back...he thinks... "...Are they demons though...?" He wonders as he makes it to the kitchen where he sees Shotaro brewing coffee, "Hello, um...what's your name again?" He asks the man with the fedora
"Vents? I have a bad feeling about this..."
Vent huh sounds like a ominous place to go through but.....well people are coming this way so Cent quickly crawls up to try and look and possibly fit into the Vent before the other catch up.
"Do you think someone is.. dead?"
Katsuo stares at the vents. He was expecting a dead body. "That means the timers are still going... So, anyone wanna jump in first?"
"... Let's not rule out the possibility."
Gin
Hmm... I don't think that's the case but... Well, we'll find out soon enough. Anyone going in or we gonan stand around looking?
Speaking of timers, the grey-haired girl peeks her head out of lab 11 to shout to anyone around Hey, idiots. I need someone’s timer to test on before the stupid bear shows up. Time’s kinda a factor here.
Oh.. I see now.. Guess there's no choice but to follow them. Abandoning his secret action, Sho gulps before diving head into the vents to see what's up, he hopes that it isn't what he thinks, but he gets a bad feeling in his gut...
(Micah realizes that Sho is trying to go into the vent) "Hey uh you sure you want to climb the vent? I don't think it is a good idea."
(edited by Micah)
The vent is a rather tight fit. The skulls are out of sight by now. But going farther in is an option.
(edited by Cait_Sith)
Shotaro looks up from his search to find a young man addressing him. He smiles softly and runs his finger along the brim of his hat. "Yo! Sorry, I didn't notice you. Last night was a killer." He goes quiet for a moment. "Poor choice of words. Regardless, the name is Shotaro Hidari! I'm the Ultimate HARD-BOILED Detective! Pleased to meet you, wish the circumstances were better though."
[Gou takes off his leather jacket and hands it to Micah.] "I'm going in there. Keep it safe."
Katsuo decides to not go into the vents. "Give me a sec, I'll go talk to the girl real quick." He approaches lab 11 and hands them his clock. "Go ahead and test on it, make sure you don't break it or something." He heads back to the vents.
Gin
Well, it was nice knowing you Vision. A salute to our brave sacrifi- I mean, uh... hero.
Cent stares at Micah for a bit before grunting and continuing his way into the vents it quite long but he presses forward.
We don't have a choice do we? We have to figure out what's happening here. Continuing further, Sho tries to squeeze in as much as he can into the vent, shouting behind him as he does Maybe somebody should try and help the person in the lab? They might have a clue!
"Um, my name is Michi Fujita, but please call me Micah. I'm sadly the Ultimate Unlucky Student." Andd... They are gone... "Wait you are going in there as well?! You two people are already going in... "
(edited by Micah)
Thanks, nice to see someone’s paying attention Without further ado, the girl accepts the clock, shuts the lab door, and begins working
"Naoya Toudou, Ultimate...something..." He said, extending his hand to shake Shotaro's, "Same here though...but don't worry, I'm not the type of guy who'd want to kill anyway." He said, with whatever truth he had in those words.
Gin
For the record, I'm gonna stay here. It's not that I have a thing about tight spaces or nothing, but Banner and his merry men seem to have this covered.
Somehow, everyone gets decently far. Turns are hell to do for the larger people, though. There's multiple ways to go, and the skulls are certainly far in by now. It's also hard to see in certain areas...
multiple ways to go huh? Time for his ability to shine, utilizing his ability of Vision, Sho concentrates before trying to peer into the future to find which path would end up where, trying to figure out which one they were supposed to go to Come on..
As the vents become more diffiuclt to see through Cent starts to slow down his pace and slide his hands across the vents to feel his way around. He trys to move rightish if there is a branching path that way.
Sho deduces that the skulls have split up and are trying to avoid detection. Four in total. Everyone should be able to corner at least one... But it'll be like herding cats, since the skulls are much faster. Not to mention the multiple floors... Cent, should he go far enough, will find that many of the vents he comes across lead to some bedrooms.

"Guess I'll stay out here then, just in case if info needs to be delivered. " (Micah sits down on the floor and waits for news)
Cent decides to open jump down into one of these bedrooms to see where he currently is before popping back up into said vents.
Update: smoke can be faintly smelled from the left path, which is towards Labs 11 and 12. Cent will have to break the vent to do so.

Gin
I hope they don't fall and break their necks or something. *Gin sits down as well.* Well, I'm sure Banner and the others will be fine. Wonder who sending skulls around though. Is this another one of that damnable bears schemes?
Shotaro quickly glances at Naoya's sleeves and pockets. He was all for making friends, but getting caught off guard wouldn't be very hard-boiled at all. With his quick assessment out of the way, he returns the handshake. "Naoya Toudou, hm? You certainly look like a dangerous guy! But jokes aside, I don't think most of us here are killers." He breaks off the handshake and leans against the wall. "If you were a lunatic who wanted to make a killing game for kicks, why would you bring a bunch of crooks? That's no more than a dog fight." He lowers his hat once again as he speaks. "If I were a lunatic, I'd make good people kill in order to survive. People who want to smile and live their lives, that's who I'd pick for this game." He shakes his head and looks back to Naoya. "Fear of death can drive even the most kind person to the brink if they want to live. Sorry, I went a bit overboard with my point."
Yeesh.. Alright everybody, looks like we have to split up, do your best to find one, and watch your back.. Sho then continues down one path away from the others and attempts a combat alert in case somebody comes up from behind, he has to be careful...
Katsuo waits around with Micah. "We've got time to kill, so, anything on your mind?"
[Gou goes left.]
Cent reaches through his compartments and pulls out his old weapon of war his hook! He bashes the vent hatch down and then tries to jump into the bedroom and scan his area.
Alex sits next to Micah "Crazy shit huh?"
"Yep, although I'm curious what is going on, but I can't check it out. I have claustrophobia."

The farther left you go, the more smoke there is. It's drifting into the vents from one of the western labs, for sure... Cent bashes his way into Alexei's room. The occupant won't be pleased when he finds out. One of the skulls can be seen by Sho, but darts off to the side. With everyone fanning out, it... could be caught.
[Gou continues to where the smoke comes from.]
