Danganronpa Roleplay [PRIVATE]
Forum-Index → Roleplay → Private RP → Danganronpa Roleplay [PRIVATE]There was a small photograph tucked into the corner. A photo of Idris and an older woman. The picture was a few months old, but there was still a spark in Idris' eyes back then. A hint of a smile. That was before everything took a turn for the worse.
There also lay several silver rings, some embedded with black stones. Some twisted into the shape of serpents.
Most of the writing in his notebooks were in Greek, with the additional footnote added in Japanese, or whatever language he felt like.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Mei shuffled through everything, paying close attention to every detail. The sketches caught her attention, and so did the picture, but she also took note of everything else. So he was a nerd... And a dork too...
But honestly, Mei was fine with it. A genuine smile crept onto her face the more she looked, and her expression seemed more relaxed. It wasn't every day she saw someone that she wanted to learn more about, especially not in an actual, good way. She saw most people as tools, only wanted to know them because it would benefit her. Idris? She just wanted to get to know him more, maybe even be a friend.
Sure, when you're in the middle of a killing game, it probably isn't a good idea to make friends. Especially when one, or both, of you won't make it out alive.
But Mei didn't care. After all, when your life is as whacky as hers, it was nice to have a friend for once.
She sighed before returning everything to its place, closing the bag, and getting up once again. Mei quickly wiped the smile off her face and made a more neutral expression, all while waltzing over to the door to chase down Idris.
She gently opened the door, and what she saw on the other side was...
A hallway, one with Idris in it.
"Heyyyyy!" She called out. "You forgot something, you dumbass! Geez, making me do all your work for ya?"
Idris' face broke into a small smile at the sound of a familiar voice.
He hastily shook his hair into its usual position, obscuring his face, and went to retrieve his bag.
"T-thanks." He stammered, twisting a ring on his fingers. He winced as metal came in contact with skin, red from cuts.
"It would've been...a nightmare if I lost this." He added, quietly.
Lucian Arbred's POV
He glanced down at the floor. It meant a lot to him that his friend thought that.
I was never really of much use. Sometimes, I wonder if it would have been better...
He closed his eyes and took a breath.
If I had just died back then.
His eyes reopened.
But, I'm a therapist. People need me for something now.
"Where are we going, Kaoru?"
Sawyer Laurens's POV
It was okay, really. Mei was just not what they were used to! It didn't mean she was mean or anything, right?
They'd both be friends eventually!!
Darcy Harper's POV
Darcy shook her head. They were always terrible at following instructions.
But in a way...
She almost envied that.

OMORI - 005 By Your Side (Cemetery Version)
"Ohh...hi there..." Sutaraitsu said meekly to Akari.
He immediately noticed the metal pieces Akari was working on.
"Ooooh, wh-what are you doing? C-can I join?"

Horatia sighed.
"Peradventure thee would like to learneth about the mysteries of the past?"
Silence ensued.
"Well then, I believeth we shouldst start with Vlad Dracula, moo commonly known as Vlad the Impaler."
"I wilt sayeth, he wast an...Interesting person, to sayeth the least. He wast the second son of Vlad Dracul, who is't did doth becometh the ruler of Wallachia in 1436. Vlad and his younger brother, Radu, wast did hold as hostages in the Ottoman Empire in 1442 to secure their father's loyalty. Vlad's eldest brother Mircea and their father wast murdered after John Hunyadi, regent-governor of Hungary, invaded Wallachia in 1447. Hunyadi did install Vlad's second cousin, Vladislav II, as the new voivode. Hunyadi launched a military campaign 'gainst the Ottomans in the autumn of 1448, and Vladislav did accompany him. Vlad did doth break into Wallachia with Ottoman supporteth in October, but Vladislav did return and Vlad did seek refuge in the Ottoman Empire ere the end of the year. Vlad did wend to Moldavia in 1449 or 1450, and anon to Hungary."
"But I must adit, his impaley stuff wast merit and all, but, to beest frank, he wast most wondrous as a lover."
Kaoru Kajiwara
"Presumably, looking for others." Kaoru thought for a second. "Do you know where they are? Presumably, there are probably some people by the pool. I could, no..."
Lucian should take the populated area. I promised him he'd live. And she may have been an unfeeling scoundrel at times, but she would never break a promise. Her word was her word, and Lucian could trust her on that. If we're going to be friends, then we can't die. Neither of us.
Kaoru breathed in through her nose. "Okay. You take the pool. I'll head the opposite way down the school. Talk to anyone, but never alone. Okay?"
Miyako Hiroto
The corner of Miyako's lips quirked up. "Oh?" she purred. "Sounds like you have a lot of experience with people likely to change the course of history."
I am so good at flirting geez.
"Well, I'm one of those people!" she chirped, pressing her ultimate gift into Horatia's hands. "Well, bye!" she skipped off. "If it proves useful, let me know!"
Now, onto tracking down the Kubo guy. He'd been gone a while.
Curiouser and curiouser...
Idris and Kubo's Dorm
Setsuna was asleep. In someone else's dorm. This would clearly have no negative consequences ever.
Anyway, we're just waiting for Idris to get back.
Lucian Arbred's POV
"...okay. I'll see you soon."
"I promise."
I think... she might actually be trying to protect me.
He appreciated that, for sure. A person he could count on.
Lucian took a deep breath. But...
"Here. You might need it." He headed over and pressed the book into her hand. "...just in case."
If she's going to go out of her way to protect me, I want to protect her too. So... let me give this to you. So you can be safe.
Darcy Harper's POV
The chocolates were done. Time to get them to... Sawyer.
Do I really have to do this for them?
Then again, why not?
Mei drifted into her mind as Darcy took the chocolates out...
...her face was warm.
Oh God. Please, don't tell me.
Must be the heat from the oven.
"Hey, Darcy-Marcy! Good to see you!" Sawyer grinned at her.
Darcy flinched. "Good to... see you too?" Are they acting nice to me for the chocolate?
Ugh... what am I even doing.
"For you, I guess." Darcy handed Sawyer the sugar overdose of a mess of chocolates, decorated with various sprinkles, gumdrops, and sauces, and, sugar itself and...
Why the hell do they like it with this much stuff? Why do I even remember?
"YAYYY! Thank you!" Sawyer took the chocolates and began aggressively nomming them using their mouth and not even using their hands.
"Oh, what the heck."
Sawyer Laurens's POV
...why did she look so upset? What was that about?
Oh, maybe she thought the chocolates weren't good enough?
"Thesmf armf amfamfzing!" Sawyer exclaimed, muffled from eating it in-between bites.
"Thank you, Sawyer!" But there was something off about how she said it...
...
What was going on?

Kaoru Kajiwara
Kaoru inhaled sharply. She felt the book in her hands and looked down at it- then up at Lucian.
Her heart softened.
"Yeah," she murmured. "You'll protect me. And I'll protect you."
The book was cold, unlike Lucian's hands. She shivered. The air was very cold suddenly. Was the school not heated properly? Or was a murder being planned as they spoke?
"We better hurry," she said, standing up.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Hehe, no problem!"
Mei noticed his quick movements as he approached, finding it funny that Idris liked to cover his face. Was it because of an insecurity? To avoid eye contact? Maybe both? Well, Mei didn't really care. She giggled once again before bouncing her way in front of him, each step springier and more enthusiastic than the last. "Sooooo, where ya goin? I'm a bit bored ya know, I got nothin to do!"
"Ooooh what if we find a dead body on the way to wherever you're goin? OOH OOH maybe we can search for one, someone's bound to be dead by now, right???" Mei was all over the place, jumping from one topic to the next. She was surprised Idris hadn't just ditched her by now. Honestly... He actually might, and she didn't blame him. Why the hell would anyone be enthusiastic about finding a dead body?
...Oh.
An awkward silence fell upon them.
"I... don't actually mean that, sorry..." Mei followed, her feet now almost dragging on the floor instead of bouncing around. Her voice was much quieter and her head was bowed too. "Guess I'm goin crazy, heh heh... I don't... I don't want anyone dead..."
Oh come on, anyone with a brain could tell that this was wildly out of character for Mei. These were all just lies, right?
This was all just an act... Right?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Thank god...
A sigh of relief preceded a small huff Akari made when he sat up, the jumble of scraps still in his hands. "I'm just...fiddling around, I guess..." He seemed bored, but almost glad that someone had come to fill the silence. "I mean sure, not like I'm doing much anyways..." He scooted over in his bed to make room for Sutaraitsu, if he wanted to sit down of course. He didn't even realize the situation he was putting himself in. Thank god he was too oblivious to realize anyways, that would be awkward, wouldn't it?
All Around the School
"Ding dong ding~ Due to the amazing power known as 'timeskips' it is now dinner time! Please head to the Cafeteria, puhuhu~ I'll be waiting."
The screen shut off.
--
Kaoru shuddered at the bear's voice, stuffing her hands into her pockets. She hurried and turned the corner and came face to face with-
She blinked.
"Oh, hello," she greeted awkwardly.
Was that... Mei? And someone else that her roleplayer should probably have been paying attention to?
-
Amber eyes snapped open.
"Dinner, eh?" Kubo mused. "Does he really expect for us to fall for that?"
He scoffed, turning on his side. Though he was admittedly hungier than he would voice. "Good nighr stupid bear and other idiots..."
His eyes then snapped open.
Wait, he wasn't in his dorm. What the frick?
"I passed out," he muttered. "Damn it."
--
Setsuna sighed, inside of a random person (Kubo's) dorm. He was very asleep.
Good thing too! This was a great place to sleep in.
--
Miyako smirked. Cafeteria time... She wondered if that Kubo fool had woken up yet.
She chuckled at the little... surprise she had planned for him.
--
Lucian Arbred's POV
Oh, it was dinnertime?
I guess he wouldn't be headed to the pool then. He supposed everyone would be united now.
But...
It couldn't be that easy.
The bear could be planning something.
He was headed to the cafeteria, but strangely, found himself outside Kubo's dorm door. I have no idea why I'm doing this.
He knocked on the door.
Sawyer Laurens's POV
"Sawyer, both of your shoes are untied. Like, badly untied. How the heck did that happen?"
"Um. No idea! Musta tied them too loosely again. You coming?" They put their hands on their hips.
"If it's with you? ...do I have to?"
Sawyer huffed. "Ouch. I think it's mandarin- I mean mandatory!!"
"What does Chinese have to do with it?"
"Nothing, nothing! Let's go!"
And so, the hot-and-cold duo with limited braincells made their way to the cafeteria. One whose braincells were probably literally burning.
Darcy Harper's POV
Still, she wondered if...
What if they had...
No, it was unlikely. She inhaled and pinched at her wrists uncomfortably.
Darcy watched Sawyer, skipping along, without a care in the world...
She almost regretted the thought but that fool, that damned smiling fool...
They were going to die.

Setsuna Jun
Hmmm, someone was knocking. Setsuna was still crying. This was a recipe for disaster!
"Go away!" he sobbed quietly, yeeting his bag at the door- accidentally opening it for plot reasons.
Miyako Hiroto
Miyako skipped to the cafeteria. Better get there before the fun began! She thrived in chaos. This was her time to shine!
The door was open. Almost everyone was already there. She hummed, taking one of her trays, peaking under the plate to see an excellent dinner of chicken wings and taters. She only had to sit down, before the cafeteria door banged open.
And there was Kubo, wide eyed. "FORK HER UP OR DIE!"
Miyako burst out laughing.
Kubo Atsushi
Why was she laughing? Kubo narrowed his eyes at the demonic girl. He knew she drugged him! Never trust people in hoodies. They always hid evil intensions beneath.
He looked acrosd the crowds of people.
Then his eyes caught the enormous "window" (reflective mirror") across the room.
He paled.
A caterpillar mustache was done overtop his bottom and lower lip. Naruto whiskers were done- all over his face. The usual glasses and beard.
And overtop his forehead: "Ultimate Detector". And beside it... the beautiful two circle and additional shape of... you know what.
Miyako was giggling so hard she fell under the table. "Behold!" she cried, throwing up her hands, knocking away her chair. "MY MASTERPIECE!"
He frowned a little. Mei seemed...off.
Eh. He shrugged it off.
"Naw. Don't worry. I doubt anyone is dead, though." Idris whispered.
"Everyone's been together, I don't think there has been opportunity for murder. Unfortunately." He grinned.
"I think I've realized that everyone is crazy, Mei. It's honestly not surprising anymore."
He laughed quietly.
Lucian Arbred's POV
The voice wasn't one he recognized. Slowly, he made his way into the room, picking up the pillow off the floor. He held it out, and knelt down near where he'd heard the voice of the person.
"...I'm sorry about this. You okay?"
Sawyer Laurens's POV
They skipped into the cafeteria and sat down. They blinked, staring at Kubo's face, which immediately caught their attention. They tried not to laugh.
"U-Um!!? You! *Snrk* Heh...um, you got something-- HAHAH um- ahem! You have something on your face! What happened? You okay?" I should probably help him wipe that off!! What happened?
Something about that one lady's face hinted that she was responsible for this.
Darcy Harper's POV
Darcy wasn't sure how to feel about this. Who were these people? It's almost like she was written into the Prologue last minute and never met them! Huh!
"I wonder what food will be offered!!" she exclaimed, trying to smile and give a change of subject. Oh boy.
Wonder what food will be offered indeed...
"Yeah, I wonder so too! Umm, shouldn't we help him with that?"
Darcy blinked. "Oh! Yeah! Of course! Does... Anyone have napkins or anything? Is that-- permanent?"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Hehe, riiiiiiiiight~" Yeah, Idris was probably right. How could anyone be dead yet?
The fact that Idris wasn't bothered by her words shocked her a bit, but I guess that was better than him giving a negative reaction, right? Oh well, she had an announcement to ignore.
Mei was too busy quietly waltzing along with Idris to notice an unfamiliar face approach her. It was the babysitter... Hmm, what did she want?
"Uh... Hey?"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The announcement startled Akari a little, but he managed to hide it well. "Huh... Guess that means it's time to go... Wanna come with me?"
Assuming Sutaraitsu said yes, Akari walked out the door slowly with his dormmate. His head was bowed and his hands were in his pockets, all was quiet.
Until he entered the cafeteria. He stood there in shock and annoyance at what he just witnessed. He didn't want to step foot in this place, but....
Akari let out a groan and walked as far away from the commotion as possible, trying his best to avoid any eye contact. God... These people were insufferable, what the hell was going on?
OMORI - 005 By Your Side (Cemetery Version)
Sutaraitsu silently followed Akari, putting his hands at his chest.
He broke down into a giggling mass immediately after setting his eyes on Kubo's scribbled face.
"*pant* *pant*...heheheh..."
He took a completely random tray from a cart and sat next to Akari.
The tray serendipituously contained a variety of shellfish and seafood.

Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith - Faith is for the Transient People
[Sanae Kochiya's Theme, String Quartet Remix by NyxTheShield]
Taking the vial of makeshift nitroglycerin he just made, Mika quickly walked into the cafeteria. He took a few admittedly overly sweet pastries from a multi-tiered tray and quickly left for the most isolated seat possible.
He did bite his lip in an attempt to stop a childish grin from appearing on his face after catching a glimpse Kubo's face though.
Darcy Harper's POV
Darcy slowly got up and went to the bathroom, with the intention of hopefully finding something to clean up Kubo's face.
Because seriously. As funny as it was to look at, she would not want to be stuck in his place.
It just wasn't fair.
Sawyer Laurens's POV
Sawyer picked up a jelly-filled donut, for no reason in particular. Why did it remind them of someone?...
Ah, whatever!!
They sank their teeth into it.

"Everything is going to be okay."
"Hey. Kaoru- right? Sorry, I'm bad with names.." He smiled sheepishly.
Kaoru, from what he saw and heard, Kaoru seemed nice enough.
The Ultimate...Child Care-Taker? Something along the lines of that.
Interesting Talent.
Everyone's Talent seemed to suit them in some way.
Apart from his. It just didn't suit him. 'Ultimate Linguist.' Didn't sound right.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Ohhhh, so you're Kaoru?" Mei giggled and held out her hand to the newcomer, her eyes closed and her grin wide.
"Pleasure to meetcha! Bet the feeling ain't mutual~"
Alright, Daiko needs to calm down with the squiggles, they're kinda cringe.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Yeah, sure the whole thing was kinda funny, and Akari would've cracked a smile if it was under different circumstances. He never really had friends, none he could joke around with, none he could laugh with. He was always by himself, and therefore, he didn't know how to act in these situations. It was sad, really, but that was the story of his life.
Akari was never able to enjoy the simple things in life, so he just grew up never finding a need for them. He was always alone, and he would be for the rest of his life.
Well, that would be true if Sutaraitsu wasn't literally sitting right next to him. He was the first person who hung around for more than a day, and he didn't seem bothered by how reclused Akari was. Right now, he was too terrified to even call Sutaraitsu a friend. What if he was wrong? What if his roommate just hung around him just because they had nothing better to do? What if.... What if he was going to betray him...? Akari wasn't willing to commit to that status just yet...
Ah great, now Akari was in a bad mood. First, that whole fiasco ruined his day and now his thoughts were becoming a little too sad? Geez, what a guy, am I right? He sat silently while his food sat on the table, his body making no movement and his hair was now a curtain over his face. The food was simple, a dish of pasta and chicken, mixed with various spices. He would've loved to eat it if it was under different circumstances...
Sawyer Laurens's POV
Wonder what the programmed responses are! ...but jeez, this is probably a nightmare if Darcy's in it.
Just try to be nice to her.
I'll try that. But it's-- it's so hard! I don't get how, but we always...
...
No, there were reasons things were this way. Where was Darcy anyway?
Darcy Harper's POV
"Oh! You're trying to clean it? That's... nice of you." Sawyer looked disappointed.
"Well, yes! What, should I just leave that mess on his face?"
"Well... no..."
"Then I'm doing it!"
Jeez, Rice Ball, so hard to reason with.
