Miyako HirotoBut Miyako wasn't listening anymore. Her fingers skimmed along the glass, tracing the letters on the plaque inside. Her mouth went dry. Niwa Atsushi, Award of Academic Excellency. 20XX. "It's his last name," she mused to herself. "Atsushi. Nepotism, I suppose. Probably some sort of stupid family tradition-" her voice broke off. Somehow, she couldn't even believe it herself. Why? Because she recognises the name on the next plaque. "Suzume Fujimori," she breathed. In the third grade, she'd been best friends with a Fujimori. Suzuka Fujimori. There was no way this was a coincidence. Somehow, all these names, all these plaques- each of them was related to them in some way shape or form, it wasn't possible, it was possible, it had to be- "Puhuhuhu!" With a gasp, she staggered backwards, her hand flying to her chest. It stung. She must've accidentally hit the glass. When she whipped on her heel to glare at the bear, she came face-to-face with- A metal six pack? Slowly she paled, her eyes trailing up each individual muscle to the little bear head on top. It grinned at her. Dear lord, she thought. The bear REALLY went all out for arm day. And leg day. And comically large pecs day. [Read more] |

Third Person POV"I'm not sure. Kubo seemed weirdly interested in it, though." She made a discontented grunt. "Probably something stupid..." But even so, she took a step forward, eagerly peering into the case. Setsuna Jun"No, I think that's... Halloween? In Western Countries, anyway. My parents- er, adoptive parents never really tried to give me my roots... or anything to do with it really." He shook his head, clearing off the thunderous thoughts and the rainclouds which had started to fog his mind. "I think prom is something like a dance. Something romantic. You take the person you love...." Setsuna's face felt very hot. Oh dear. Sutaraitsu's arms were around his waist, weren't they? [Read more] |

Miyako HirotoYou HOPE? She eyed Darcy for a solid ten seconds. Her temper was one thread away from snapping, and Darcy was tearing at it fast. "Yeah. Hopefully." There was a note of sarcasm in her voice that she couldn't quite shake. "Well, what do you want to do? Track down Sawyer? Look for what-" Her eyes caught on the cabinet Kubo had been staring at. "Huh." [Read more] |

Kubo Atsushi"You seem to enjoy taunting her," Kubo remarked instead of answering. "I admit to seeing the appeal. She does have a tendency to get riled up." The dorms were just up ahead. He could even spy the outline of her's from here. He made a deliberate turn past the dorms and kept walking down the hall. "The labs might be a good place to start," he said. "No one's really explored them yet. Aren't you at least a little curious?" Miyako Hiroto"Let the children have their fun." She inhaled, taking a moment to tousle her hair. God, sometimes... these people. It was like babysitting, except ten times worse, because you didn't have Goldfish Crackers at your disposal. [Read more] |

Kubo AtsushiKubo sighed. "I'm not getting out of that nickname, am I?" Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Miyako swelling up and reddening. It was strangely alarming, so he decided that it was of the utmost importance to get out of here right now. "Come on!" He took off down the halls. "Get back here!" she yelled. "Goddammit! Listen to me, you cowards!' [Read more] |

Miyako Hiroto"You're not a murderer." But her voice didn't sound so confident. It wobbled. She swallowed her nervousness away. "You weren't really trying to kill them. Just give em a fright, right? Spook em." [Read more] |

Kubo AtsushiAnnoying? I'm not annoying... am I? Kubo frowned. He was fully aware of his own faults. Hell, he could make a full on list about everything wrong with him. Selfish, unfeeling, sarcastic- you could send me to hell on account of any of that. Kaoru can certainly attest. I've heard her rhetoric well enough. His eyes narrowed. "And yet you offered," he retorted, spinning on his heel. "To 'Detective Douche', nonetheless. I can't say I like you either, but we can at least try civilty." "Naw, Detective Douche is hilarious," Miyako said. "I'm feeling weirdly warmer towards you Idris. Just in general. There's this very happy feeling in me every time you roast Emo Boy. I like it." "Shut up Miyako." "Not even an insult in there? Wow; you're uncreative. Lookee at this guy right here, Sasuke-ing his way through his tragic MCR-themed life, seeking out the nearest Hot Topic through his emo compass. Whatcha gonna buy? Twilight merch? I can see you as an Edward stan." Kubo sighed. "As enlightening as this conversation has been, I would have to agree with Darcy. Groups seem smart. Perhaps we can arrange a system- if your partner dies, you're charged with their murder. So they stick together." Miyako pouted. "Murdering your dear friend Kubo is officially on hold, Miyako." He flashed a smile in her direction. "Eh." Miyako shrugged. "I'll get you another time." It was hard to hold back a laugh, but he managed it nonetheless. He really shouldn't be joking about his own death. It just made the looming inevitability all the more bitter. [Read more] |

Miyako HirotoPrehistoric poultry tradition! Miyako smiled at them, even though cold rage was beginning to build in her chest. "Thanks! You have fun with Sawyer. I imagine they'll need a lot of supervising." And of course, supervising would be done. Cameras would be fixed all around the prom room. Every minute of their life would be caught on tape to be dissected later by Monokuma. Safe and secure... It was almost calming, to be sure that truth could be absolute. That no one could blur the lines, because every fact and matter of the case would exist somewhere out there. It wasn't just a desperate scrambling for survival that came at the Mastermind's whims, but rather something clinical and done with procedure. Yes... It felt very nice. Kubo Atsushi"I can't say that I'd put in that much effort for a poorly calculated suicide attempt. I imagine the Nurse's Office to be a far less painful way to go." The snark just came out. At this point, he just gave up. People irritated him too much. Kubo crossed his arms. "So what? You volunteering to go with me?" Kubo highly doubted that. Even if he was, then it was undoubtedly for some murder attempt. He had better judgement than that. But lately... he hadn't always been accurate with any of that crap. Lucian wasn't some cold, calculating manipulator. Neither was Kaoru. And Mei- even that psycho- she had cared about someone. Enough to make Idris care about her in turn, even after everything she'd done. What had she done? What had Idris done to make Kubo doubt him? "I suppose..." he muttered. "I wouldn't mind. If you're offering, or whatever..." [Read more] |

Kubo AtsushiI would. But she's not here anymore. That was Mei. He couldn't delude himself any longer. The feeling was clawing its way up his throat. Unrecogniseable, after all this time. Guilt. When had he stopped feeing that? When had he convinced himself to stop feeling that horrible aching in his gut? "I'll be going alone. Supervising, I guess." He glanced at Idris. If you want, we could go together. Supervise the lot. But he held his tongue. It wasn't his place. Idris wouldn't care to hear it either way... and he didn't really feel like confronting him when he was already working through a plateful of confusing emotions. Anyway, Kubo had to admit Darcy was right, albeit begrudgingly. Of course it was idiocy to search at this point. Surely the spaceship would've been a safer bet. The whole thing was probably put together in half the time the Mastermind had for Hope's Peak Academy. But they never had conducted a thorough investigation to begin with. Not to mention the morale boost it would have on them all. The cold clinical facts were laid out in his mind's eye. But the squeezing feeling in his chest wouldn't go away. He'd shut it down. He could admit that now. Crushed the feeling because it was too painful to bear. So why couldn't he do that now? Because you deserve it. Kaoru's voice was rattling. Distorted. Glitching. He could barely hear her dulcet whispers anymore. Only her cracked broken scream. It was never about you Kubo, okay?! The world doesn't revolve around you. It doesn't stop or start whenever you dictate it. You aren't a hero, and you sure as hell aren't mine. He almost pushed her just then. The thought was in his head. If I kill her, then I don't have to go home. I don't have to go to school. To church. To the park. To anywhere where she is, or anywhere where the rest of them are. As she stared back at him, beautiful amber eyes alight with orange flame. Mascara. Eyeliner. Pain and rage in the watery depths. She turned her back on him, and blinked hard, but he still saw the way the dying sunlight caught the tears trickling down her face. Kubo's hands remained still then. He didn't reach for her, try and touch her. At least, she said. Don't follow me. But he did. He followed her to Hope's Peak Academy. In a way, he killed her. Pushed her, just as he'd wanted to. The sunset and the bridge vanished, and suddenly Kubo was back in his own body. Darcy, Idris, Miyako, Shi. Brick walls. Trophy cabinet with Niwa Atsushi's name inside. Kaoru dead, their town dead, none of that ethereal beauty existing. Only memories. He subconsciously pressed a hand to his wrist, feeling the bloody wounds that ripped down his arm. Would Kaoru have mourned me as Idris does Mei? he wondered. Remembering those amber eyes, he knew for certain. She would have. And she'd have hated me just as much for it. Kubo shivered. "I'm going with Shi." Miyako flashed a pearly-white smile. "To honour the dinosaur nuggies." [Read more] |

Suko NobuSuko hung out sideways, cackling. She whooped, pumping her fist in the air. "Ha! Take that, losers! You smell! We rule! Oomph-" A stray branch thwacked her in the face. She swung herself up into a sitting position on the horse. She hooked her arms around Eris, still laughing even as they drove off into the wilderness. Brooksook MyelTheir carriage slowed to a stop. Brooksook shivered. The... thing inside her chest was quivering. A warning. Something important was happening. Something which would determine the fate of her and the girl both. With a rattle and a creak, the carriage gave one last lurch, then fell still. She glanced at the driver, but his face was still obscured. Ominous. When she looked up, it was to someone poking their head through the door. A new face. Soft and sweet. Youthful. A human child. That was why she couldn't withhold a gasp at early startled when she first saw his ears. Round, but pointed at the tips. She hadn't seen a half-human half-elf outside of textbooks. Such a thing was almost unheard of. [Read more] |

ShurkulOh, murder was never indicative of a peaceful conversation... was it? He was starting to suspect that he was slipping. "Hey hey, how about we calm down?" He flashed a charming, orcish smile."I think we were doing great before we brought the whole limbs thing into the conversation! How about we backtrack to there?" Shurkul grinned harder. "Sound good?" He offered them a double thumbs up. Suko NobuTime to fight for her life, she supposed. She shrieked, flailing around, kicking at any exposed chunks of skin. With an oomph, a soldier fell off her. She took the immediate opportunity to lunge at him and tackled him. He screamed, trying to kick her off, but she clung on, determined, and headbutted him in the nose. The man jerked, gave a yell, and brought a bare arm to protect his now bleeding nose. Suko stared at the exposed skin and spotted an opportunity. "SHE'S CRAZY! SHE'S GOING TO KILL ME! HEEELPPP!" Suko clung onto his arm with her teeth, even as he desperately fought to escape. "AAAAAGGGH!" Brooksook MyelBrooksook frowned as she stared outside the window. A flock of Owlings danced across the skies, singing to a song of which there was no harmony- only a thousand melodies, cascading down and fluttering in her skull. It was beautiful. To an elf, maybe, but hardly to a human. Hardly to a Myel. She shook off the wave of self loathing. Finding beauty in nature may have been a typically elfish trait, but most of the "Hey!" A voice called. She went stiff and glanced at Eris. Answer, she mouthed. [Read more] |

Shizuka MatsubaraShizuka stared blankly at him for all of two seconds, then promptly decided nope and threw themselves back into bed. It was too early for this crap. Maybe tomorrow when their playlist was- oh no. They'd gone to sleep with it on... right? A high pitched shriek tore through the room. "MY CD PLAYER! GONE!" With a shaking finger, they pointed to its shattered remains. [Read more] |

Kubo AtsushiOh great. Of course Miyako had to bring her very welcome opinions into this. God, what was wrong with that girl? She returned his glare with a mysterious smile. There was a certain glint to her blue eyes and for a second, he saw something in there. Some looming beast, maw wide open, ready to devour him whole. Its jaws closing shut on hi- Kubo blinked and then she was no longer looking at him, instead frowning at Darcy. "I guess that could work. Teamwork building," Miyako mused. She twisted a strand of hair around her fingers, frowning to herself. "If anything, it might deter future murders." She didn't sound particularly happy about that. Kubo narrowed his eyes at her, but she didn't seem to notice. "I guess that's two votes then. What do you think Idris?" [Read more] |

Kubo AtsushiKubo blinked rapidly, coming back to reality as the words flowed around him. Arguments, pleasantries, yelling, whispering- the hell was happening? The hell was he doing listening to this crap? "Can I come?" The words left his mouth against his will. Oh absolutely not. He was not going to Happy Camp to get in a circle and sing songs with the other toddlers. This was a foolish endeavor and he, the Ultimate Detective, should preserve his life better and not say that- "I want to. Please." "If he's going, I'm going." Miyako crossed her arms. He'd almost forgotten she was there, and he wondered if she suspected as such, given the way she was glowering down at him. "Can't leave the psycho unsupervised. Who knows what he'd try." She sneered coldly. "Right..." Kubo sighed under his breath. His eyes trailed to Idris. Still standing there. As cold and inpenetrable as ever. Kubo's brow furrowed. There was a reason behind that. Something that he knew wasn't related to Mei. Something he- Oh to hell with it. He could figure everything out later. For now he just needed to figure out what that name was doing in the trophy cabinet. Then everything would make sense. [Read more] |

NarratorThe room had fallen into a solemn silence. A recognition of all the guilt everyone had gone through. All the pain. All the hurt and what came with it. Of course Monokuma took advantage . "Idris and Darcy are confirmed canon!" He said cheerfully, popping up out of nowhere. "The viewers ship them! They ship themselves! It's practically destiny! We can definitely make a lot of money out of the merch!" "What the hell-" "Two hundred thousand for the Darcy and Idris cuddling fanart? Selling, selling- sold!" He pumped his puny bear fist in the air, to the imaginary cries of auctioneers. "And off it goes! No more privacy rights! You forfeited it when you make something vaguely shippable!" [Read more] |

Miyako HirotoMore people? What was this, a free buffet for the brains and the brainless? She grimaced as Idris approached, her anger rapidly fading into sympathy. "Hey, Idris," she asked softly. "Everything okay?" She reached to touch him on the shoulder. But her fingers paused before making contact. Even from where he was being practically strangled by Darcy, he was watching her. There was a half smile on his face. She slowly retracted her hand. "We're definitely considering it. If you are interested, the club's open." Miyako flashed a grin at Idris. "To enter, you need to have an active reason to slap him in the face. I'm sure you overqualify." Kubo AtsushiConsidering it... huh. Darcy's face was twisted in rage. Cute features made angry and wrinkled. Perfect button nose, smooth skin, piercing eyes- all ugly and awful and Kubo suddenly felt the urge to kiss it. Or at least cradle it. One of the two. They'd asked something. Something about pasta... and who he was? "Does Sawyer like pasta?" His words came out cold, though he wasn't sure why. [Read more] |

Miyako HirotoMiyako considered that Kubo may care about Sawyer for approximately two seconds. Yeah, no. He's looking for an easy target. Smug b*stard. "I assume they don't get overwhelmed often. They don't seem like the type." Some glow lit up Kubo's eyes. "The type? Sawyer?" He chuckled. "Give them ten minutes in a cushy room and they'll be ripping out their own hair. Some people like destroying themselves, and Pasta is definitely on the list." Miyako bristled. "Like you have any say on that, Mr. Detector. You don't seem to be taking very good care of yourself, either. Maybe we should find a place to dump you." [Read more] |

Miyako HirotoWell then, you'd be right! But something in Miyako had twisted guiltily at the sight of the kid on the floor, cradling his cheek. He was an idiot and a jerk, but- But? What but? What did she have to be sorry for? This kid wasn't her brother. Looked nothing like him, matter of fact. "He's hiding something," she said simply. "Won't let it up. Figured we were just about to get it out of him when you showed up." Kubo Atsushi"Now I'm the villain," he mumbled to himself. But he didn't like Darcy too much, so he didn't care for however Darcy felt about him. Hate him or love him, Darcy'd still end up dead either way, and he didn't suppose he'd particularly care. Probably. Although knowing his luck as of late... well, he'd cross that bridge when he came to it. This was all stupid anyway. And there was something rather curious happening here... "Where did you send Sawyer off to?" He cocked his head to the side. "No hard feelings. Just wondering." Setsuna JunAwww! Sutaraitsu was so cute! "I love your yawns," he mumbled. "They're... something, yeah, something." The words weren't coming to his head for once. Truly, cuteness had a frightening power. One little sneeze or yawn and suddenly the Ultimate Dictionary became the Ultimate-Hit-Over-The-Head-With-A-Book! Laughing a little, Setsuna pressed a kiss to Sutaraitsu's forehead. "You ready for prom? I'm a little scared to be honest. It'll be my first time dressing up... I'm hoping I don't look too disastrous, though I'm sure having you there will keep me from COMPLETELY embarrassing myself." [Read more] |
