"And I've already told you that you don't have a choice." Smiling to herself, Persephone leaned back against the wall. "So, Judah, tell me about yourself, hey? Anything more to you besides being a loser lil theatre kid?"

She rolled her eyes. Did he really have to be this difficult right now?

"I don't, I'm just making small talk." She paused, then added, "Idiot."

Kubo Atsushi





Yeah, this really was just a three person job, but now he had to come up with something for Shi...

"Besides monitoring the trial room? Not particularly. But if it comes to it, when we notice somebody who seems to target the person we have chosen as a 'killer', we need to have people available to hold that person down after the execution. And three people are more credible than one, if we have to kill them."

Kubo frowned.

"And... if we must, perhaps we can rig something, manipulate our target." His eyes narrowed. "That's why I'd want to pick Miko. He seems unstable enough, and if we're confident of who the mastermind is, perhaps we can arrange for our own little assassination. Defeat the mastermind, Hope's Peak Style."

Time ticked away on the clock, and Persephone was just about ready to throw her head back into the wall, if only so a concussion might make time go faster.

This was seriously awkward.

"What classes are you taking?" she asked boredly.

Damn, these introductions were getting short. Shrink-flation was real, y'all, and it was coming for you. Shaking her head with a sigh, Kelsey pulled back, taking the opportunity to study those around her.

Somehow, her eyes drifted back towards the girl with the long, chestnut hair. It was as if the girl was a star, gravity pulling her right in to her centre. Unnaturally yellow eyes, chestnut skin, and a warm smile that seemed almost... familiar. There was something about the long, lithe shape of her that made her seem as if she was about to break into dance, spinning underneath the palm trees, twirling patterns into the sand, throwing her arms back with a laugh... a bird about to take flight.

She seemed so... alive.

Kelsey subconsciously ran a hand through her own hair, and found that it had sand in it, which would be hell to get out. She certainly didn't look much more than half dead right now. She needed coffee, but would there really be any on a deserted island? Maybe she was just destined to die alone, asleep, and ugly since the beginning of time.

"Okay, so let's finish up with these introductions quick." Kelsey shook her head. "We're going to need shelter, and if this island doesn't provide any of the artificial sort, we'll have to get creative. I hope nobody skipped out on their workshop classes, and can cut branches with nothing but my sharp wit."

"Shallow win, isn't it?" Persephone leaned in closer. "Listen up, little boy, because I'll only say this once." She met his eyes, tilting her head to the side, goopy sugary sweetness flooding her voice. "You don't get to quit. Only I decide when this is over. For as long as you're at my school, then you're going to listen to me."

She grinned.

"So chin up. You get to hang with me a little while longer."

You win.

Persephone couldn't control her face for a second, but quickly yanked it back to a smug smirk, her mind awhirl with... what did he mean? Was he giving up? Saying that she could do whatever she liked, that he conceded, that she was right-

No.

No, he wasn't allowed to do that.

"What the hell are you on about?" she asked, raising an eyebrow, and trying to ignore the sinking feeling in her gut.

Pollux frowned, watching his friend leave. For as fun (and admittedly unproductive) as the day had been, somehow, it felt like it wasn't complete. Like something was yet to come, that something was supposed to happen.

A snowflake landed on the grass in front of him.

He jumped with a yelp and his head darted from side to side, looking for his attacker, but- it was snow! It was snowing early!

Was it? The snowflake wasn't melting.

And finally, finally, Pollux looked up at the sky... and saw the whole thing was ablaze.

Persephone's hand paused, hovering over her bag. For a second, she was just still- frighteningly still, her face still stuck in that frozen smile, eyes darting back and forth...

"You're sorry? For what?"

[Name: Persephone "Percy" O'Couna]

[Age: 27]

[Appearance: A tall, slim woman with very pale skin. She has a chin-length bob with curtain bangs. Her once-red hair is dyed an unnatural shade of black that looks at odds with her pale blue eyes and pasty colouring. Very lanky with sharp, jutting features and a perpetual frown. Often wears black lipstick.]

[Personality: Though her constant teasing initially seeming playful, at her heart of hearts, Persephone is a bitter, spiteful person who will use underhanded tactics to take down those she hates, with any means necessary. She distrusts people on principle, and is always on watch for the inevitable knife in her back. Perhaps that's why, she tries to take people down first; at the first hint of weakness, she'll tear you to pieces, and have you thank her for the favour. There's little love to be found with her. She'd destroy herself if it means not letting her opponents win. And to her, who believes the whole world is her enemy, that can be very dangerous indeed. Ultimately, Persephone is very self destructive, and rarely happy with anything.

Persephone is a hard worker, who pours her all into gaining position and strength. She is determined to be at the top, and will do everything in her power to ensure she remains there. Oddly enough, she doesn't sabotage anyone for her own gain, though for personal matters she'll rip someone apart for no reason whatsoever. Her philosophy is that hard work will always have you come out on top, therefore, why try anything else? In this way, she is rather naive and childish.

Oddly enough, despite her bitterness and feeling as though everyone is against her, she's the optimistic type. She believes that with enough self sacrifice, everything will go her way. Her self-grandiosity, and feelings of superiority towards other people mean that she has too much faith in herself and her abilities, a flaw which may prove to be fatal.

Persephone wants to distance herself from being "childish". She dresses up and she does "mature" makeup, and she refuses to trust anyone in case she might display any degree of naivety. She has a nervous response in which she chews her nails, which she has done everything to curb, even to the point of harming herself every time she does it. Yet it won't stop, and she hates it, because she will not be vulnerable. It doesn't matter if she's the only one who knows she's not in total control of herself. Her, or somebody else, any recognised flaw is a weakness.

Ultimately, it comes down to this sense of control. Persephone wants to be powerful, wants to be the one everyone looks away from and avoids. Deep down, she feels as though she's holding tightly onto her core, keeping it in place... and if she lets up, even a bit, her whole being will be splattered across the pavement for the whole world to stare and whisper at. She will have her control, no matter what. No one will be allowed to touch her again.]

[Stats: Strength 10, Dexterity 15, Constitution 15, Intelligence 19, Wisdom, 14, Luck ???]

[Skills: Manipulation [Lv. 9], Sharpshooter [Lv. 8], Stealth [Lv. 7], Charisma [Lv. 6], Eidetic Memory [Lv. 10]

[Backstory: Born into a wealthy, but distant family, Persephone had a rather isolated childhood, spending most of her time in the yard, playing with bugs and small animals. She was very emotional as a child, crying over ants that her mother stepped on. But the day that her parents died in a car crash, she didn't cry at all. She spent the next few years separated from her younger brother, juggled around by a variety of relatives. Eventually, she fell into the foster care system.

Previously, she had been a quiet, obedient girl who excelled in school and appeared to have a bright future ahead of her. But when she went to her first foster home, she became rebellious and quick to anger, often getting into fights with others at school, where she was labelled a delinquent. Her grades plummeted and people began to avoid her. Eventually, she spent every lunch alone, except for her foster sister who refused to leave her side.

Yet within a year, Persephone would sharpen a makeshift weapon and try to murder her.

She would spend the next few years of her life in the system, working towards a college degree since she was in a program for minors angled towards rehabilitation. It was only a few months after she was let off that the Incursion began. Her time in prison, where she focused her attention on nothing but schooling and studying gave her a perfect memory that allows her the freedom to learn and memorize anything she pleases.

Persephone never forgets a face. Remember that, should you cross her. Because, after all, though it's been over ten years since she last saw her foster sister Nadia, at the end of the world, she can focus on nothing else.

She's going to kill her.

And if anyone gets in the way of her revenge, she'll tear out their throat too.]

[Innate Ability: ]

[Character Trait: ]

[Inventory]
(1x) Pistol [A nice handy glock! Be careful to keep it hidden, or people might go running... or worse, suspect you're American.]

(5x) Ration Packs [Tastes like cardboard. You'd probably get more nutrients out of eating a cereal box too. These never seem to fill you up.]

(1x) Empty Water Bottle [Fill this up fast. Dehydration'll kill you quicker than anything.]

(7x) Bullet Boxes [Better stock up on these. You never know what you'll need to shoot at the end of the world. A monster, a person, your own shadow...]

(1x) Encyclopedia Brittanica [You've read this so many times, the old pages are worn right out. Pretty torturous to put yourself through, especially considering you memorized the contents of this old thing the first time around, but you've always been teetering on that lil masochism cliff. Fall off or throw yourself off, what do I care.]

Persephone continued, a note of pleasure in her voice. "Hm, not talking, huh? We're trying something new then for once. I didn't know you had it in you."

She smiled.

"Well, lightning can strike twice sometimes. Maybe you'll keep it up for the rest of the day."

"Ugh. Trainers." Pollux shuddered. "They have no respect for us Pokemon. To them, we don't serve any purpose, except to be captured. Sometimes I just want to..."

He grimaced.

"W-Whatever, yeah? It's not like they'll ever come in here. We're not anywhere close to any of the main routes, so we're safe from their tampering."

Probably. Better knock on wood to be safe, knowing his luck.

Kubo Atsushi





He's... faked his own death before? Kubo blinked, but reminded himself that he was hardly interested in Idris' life before this killing game. They were allies. That was it. Any potential near-death experiences on Idris' part were not relevant to him.

"Alright," Kubo put his hands on his hips. "The plan is to fake Lucian's death, and while we're in the trial room, Lucian can sneak around and search the hidden tunnels."

He smiled at the three of them.

"You may have noticed I was... away for a bit. I was searching for Darcy, who fell through a hole in the floorboards. There's a suspicious set of tunnels underneath the school. There's a door at the end of all it, which Monokuma seemed oddly concerned about us finding."

Inhaling sharply, Kubo turned to Idris, meeting his eyes.

"I think there's a hidden base where the mastermind monitors the school, because otherwise, how would they know who the killers are? There has to be a place where the recordings are sent, because otherwise, how would they get the chance to review the murder, know who the killer is in time for the trial? That, is what I suspect lies at the end of the tunnel, if not an exit. But we can't check, since Monokuma will stop us if we head down there. No doubt, the only reason we found it to begin with is because we didn't know of its existence. But now that we've seen it, there's no chance to get down there without him standing guard."

That was a mouthful. But on went the monologue.

"There's one person in particular who disappears following the murders, and that's the one I suspect as being the mastermind. But we're going to confirm that theory. We'll lay out an apparent suicide, and lay the body in an inaccessible spot in here, where there are no cameras... but, in another room on camera prior to the murder, have Lucian hide an apparent note before he goes off to our decided room. The note will implicate someone, someone suspicious enough, say... Miko."

Nobody in this room seemed particularly close to him, and Shi, the wild card most likely hated him at this point, so it was a safe name to throw out.

"Meanwhile, during the class trial, we can observe and see who targets Miko with no precedence. Perhaps they'll try and guide us in the 'right direction'... perhaps not. But if they have this note to keep them calm, then Lucian'll get an opportunity to check out the tunnels during the class trial, when no one is monitoring the cameras inside them, and Monokuma is successfully distracted with all the fun in his murder game. And no doubt, there'll be something to implicate the mastermind. And if all else fails, Lucian can review the security footage and see who collects his apparent last note."

Kubo took in a shaky breath and continued before anyone could interrupt him.

"Of course this all hinges on the fact that they don't regularly check the cameras and realise that this one is only playing a loop. And they don't have a security system besides Monokuma monitoring the tunnels. But if we play our cards right, then there should be little suspicion of anything, and the class trial room will probably be the target of all of their security measures. What do you think?"

"Of course I'm prepping. Not all of us have the luxury of being overpowered enough to sneak into Ursaring caves and steal their berries in the winter months. Some of us have to worry about our futures."

Fuming, Pollux crossed his little arms, turning and strolling across the clearing, only pausing to pick up an oran berry.

He flipped it over- and it becane obvious someone else had made it to it first. It was completely covered in bug bites, probably some nasty little Caterpie made its way through half of it before cocooning up into a Metapod.

Pollux sighed.

"My life sucks."

Just a little girl, lost here all alone... for as scary as this had to be to the adults, she must be terrified. All this talk of kidnapping probably wasn't helping.

"Whether or not some inept criminal is involved is still up to debate." Kelsey waved a hand dismissively, then turned to the new girl, someone who looked to be about her age, if not a little younger. "In any case, introductions can't hurt. We'll need to work together and pool our information if we're to figure out what's going on."

She took a step forward.

"Let's form a circle. We can introduce ourselves... and say the last thing we remember. A fun fact too, if you feel in the mood for a throwback to grade school."

Clapping her hands together, she said. "I'll go first. My name is Kelsey Remington. I'm twenty seven years old, and work as a freelance journalist in New York City. You won't have heard of me, because I'm broke, so you can rest assured that I couldn't have afforded this tropical getaway. I appear to be wearing a Slipknot tee, but if you look closer, you'll see that this was once a Costco men's shirt with a neon blue wolf on it, and the patch is doing a poor job of hiding it. The last thing I remember is sorting through a case I was working on. I don't believe it is connected to what's happening now, but I was investigating a person named Evelien Roger, if the name's familiar."

With a satisfied nod, she stepped back, and gestured for the person to her right to speak.

"Don't touch me," Pollux grumbled. "You always have a choice on whether or not you'll put me through something. And anyway if I haven't gotten used to it in all my years living in this hell forest, then I'm not getting used to it anytime soon."

He strode towards the stone in the centre of the clearing, eyeing it with disdain- and finally kicking it over. Stunfisk free.

No doubt there'd have been twenty fully-charged babies under it, if Lance hadn't decided to be his bad luck for the day. That was one perk of having an annoying jerk for a best friend, he supposed.

"Sometimes I just want to burn this whole place down," he sighed, then turned back to face Lance. "How's the berry hunting going? You got enough for the winter season?"

Pollux seethed, glaring up at Lance. "That's not funny," he complained, taking Lance's arm anyway and stumbling to his feet. "I hate that move. I really thought you were coming to kill me!"

Standing on his own now, Pollux crossed his arms, glaring at his feet.

"Hopefully that's the extent of my punishment for living today," he grumbled. "I hate good weather. It's always gotta be balanced out with some random attack."

Pollux shrieked, his life flashing before his eyes. He was being attacked! They'd found him! He was dead, he was so dead-

It's a Darkrai. It's a Reshiram. It's every legendary Pokemon at once come to kill me.

He threw himself to the ground, slamming himself facefirst into the forest floor, where he lay there, trembling, waiting for the end. What had he done to deserve this? Why had he been born into a world determined to torture him? Why oh why did he-

Then he blinked. He stared at the two green feet by his face.

Tyranitar? No, no, those feet were too familiar-

"Lance?" He blinked in confusion. No, it couldn't be, Lance would never attack him, never sneak up on him from behind, this kind of mean-spirited prank was-

Entirely in character. Lance would totally do that, who was he kidding.

Kubo Atsushi





Okay, that came close to disastrousness... but thankfully, he had Lucian on his side. What would I do without you? he thought wryly. Die, probably.

Kubo breathed in sharply, then fixed his eyes on Shi and Idris. "I know who the mastermind is. They've made it so obvious, time and time again. The timing, the manipulation, the connection to every killer... it's there. They know too much about too many things."

But...

"But we can't be wrong. We can't kill them with no proof, and have it come back to bite us in the arse. Forgive my Bri*ish," he said wryly. "We need to be careful, meticulous about this. Lay down a trap with two angles to catch them... just on the slightest chance we're wrong."

He closed his eyes, preparing himself... then blinked, turning to the third person in the room. He fixed his eyes on him, and for a second his heart skipped a beat, and something in him screamed, NO NO NO-

"Lucian, we're going to have to fake your death."
