Kubo Atsushi
A coward.
Kubo blinked. What an insult. Probably something that hurt her, more than it hurt him. Yes, he was a coward. But he would also live- and he valued that over something so inane as pride.
"A coward... is that something you fear being, Mei? Is that why you have to act like a psycho? Because otherwise, the guilt of all you've failed to do would catch up with you?" He crossed his arms. "I think you are a coward, Mei. You're so protective of your pride that you pour out your insecurities on us. And where does it end? You, bleeding out in some far off room, coming to this class trial, looking half dead."
His eyes narrowed.
"You know something about the murder and you're trying to cover it up... aren't you?"
Miyako Hiroto
Ugh. This was all beyond her. Why couldn't these cases just be easy? Some leftover hair, some fingerprints, some stupid mistake- why couldn't the universe just let it all be easy?
I guess it wouldn't be fun, she thought. If our cases weren't...
Well, none of that really mattered. She knew who'd stabbed Futatabi, and if it came to it, she could tell them all.

Lucian Arbred's POV
A trading of insults. Mockery. Attempting to aggravate each other. Blood on one's hands. Murder. Getting the job done.
...Akari, Darcy, breaking down. Sawyer murmuring the same thing, over and over again.
"Blood. Blood, blood everywhere. All over the floor."
Kubo. Mei. Arguing.
...
"STOP IT! ALL OF YOU!" Lucian slammed his hands down on the table, tears bubbling in his eyes. "SERIOUSLY. SHUT. THE F**K. UP. BEFORE I SILENCE YOU ALL MYSELF! WE'RE ALL SUFFERING HERE, DID FUTATABI DIE JUST SO THAT WE COULD ALL SCREAM AT EACH OTHER AND THROW DEATH THREATS AROUND? NO! WE'RE ALL HERE TO SOLVE HER GODDAMN MURDER SO THAT NO ONE HAS TO DIE, EVER AGAIN! E-except... For one person. SO LET'S ALL JUST SHUT UP. SHUT UP ABOUT THIS. AND JUST FIND OUT WHO KILLED HER!"
He inhaled sharply. "...the only reason we're all here right now, threatening to tear each other's throats out, which will solve nothing. Bringing up our past sins, which will solve NOTHING. Is because someone... Someone lashed out and killed her in the first place. So let's avenge her. In the name of justice, in the name of all of those who died. Who can't speak up for themselves anymore. ...I MAY BE ALREADY DEAD MYSELF, BUT I'LL BE DAMNED IF I DON'T SPEAK UP FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T. SO LET'S ALL JUST GET ALONG AND SAVE EACH OTHER, SO NO ONE ELSE HAS TO SUFFER LIKE- LIKE ALL THOSE OTHERS DID!"
Lucian panted. He even looked shaken by what he'd just said.
"...s-so... Can we all work together? Please?" he said in a much quieter, much gentler voice, which felt strange after that.

Kubo Atsushi
Kubo whipped to stare at Lucian, bewildered. "I-" he started. He couldn't say anything else, because in that moment, the words hit him like a truck.
I may be dead myself.
A flicker of a face appeared in the back of his mind. Why was he thinking about her now? She was gone and dead, a decade past and nothing about those words should've reminded him of-
Two gentle hands clasped his face, and touched their foreheads together.
Niwa, she whispered. Take care of Kubo. I may be dead already, but- her voice broke. Please... you can still save him.
Save him from what? She was dead, and so was Niwa.
And so was-
"Lucian," his voice cracked. "You're... not dead yet."

Setsuna Jun
The anger, the sudden quiet- everything was making Setsuna shake. But what scared him the most was-
"Sutaraitsu?" he whispered. The boy was deathly still. Steeling his nerves, he crept along the table, going around Miyako. She gave him a considering look and he ducked away, ending up next to the short boy.
He reached for his shoulder and hesitated- fingertips just hovering over him-
Setsuna placed his hand on Sutaraitsu's arm. "Hey."

"A coward... is that something you fear being, Mei? Is that why you have to act like a psycho? Because otherwise, the guilt of all you've failed to do would catch up with you?"
Mei paused, her grin fading and her eyes narrowing, almost as if she saw those words as a challenge.
And she accepted it.
"Fear? Wouldn't put it that way, really. Sounds stupid, overdramatic..." She shrugged and glanced to the side.
"Is that why you have to act like a psycho?"
She let those words hang for too long. All she did was simply ignore it. "Listen, no clue what you're on about, but I've learned how to deal with my failures, alright? Get that stick out your ass and stop tryin' to mess with me or whatever, it ain't gonna work..." She muttered, then crossed her arms as she glared back at Kubo.
"Bold of you to assume I care enough about myself to go through that bulls**t anyways... Can't get the job done if you don't let yourself get roughed up a bit, eh? Thought it was obvious, y'know? I'm only here to have fun, don't care how it happens, alright?"
"I think you are a coward, Mei. You're so protective of your pride that you pour out your insecurities on us. And where does it end? You, bleeding out in some far off room, coming to this class trial, looking half dead."
"Aww, thanks, I'm flattered!" She giggled, as she waved her hand. "And so what if I am huh? Means nothin' to you, does it? None of it matters anyways, drill that into your head a bit why don'tcha!"
The demeanor faded away once again, her voice was obviously failing her due to not even letting herself rest. Her expression seemed to darken as well.
"You think I'll let it stop, even when I'm six feet under? You really underestimate me that much? I may be on the brink of death right now, but..."
She chuckled weakly, giving a sigh.
"To hell with it, really. Dead or alive, I don't really care. Insult me, hate me, kill me all you want, and I couldn't care less. It's what I want after all, isn't it Kubo? I'll say it time and time again, I thrive on negativity, and there's nothing you nor I can do to change that, got that?"
"You know something about the murder and you're trying to cover it up... aren't you?"
Even in her weakened state, on the verge of completely passing out from overexertion, she still managed to chuckle once again.
"Maybe, maybe not~ Who knows? Why would you want my help anyways? You really trust me enough not to twist it around and lie to you guys?"
She tilted her head and smiled. "Y'know, if you asked nicely I could've said something useful for once, but..."
"Nah."
lucian my guy this ain't the superbowl no need to scream 🙄
All Mei did was shoot a glare at him, saying nothing about whatever the hell he just spoke and just simply sat there.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Lucian's yelling snapped him out of whatever he was going through and instead pissed him off. Ah great, now his ears were ringing and his head hurt even worse. First Darcy, now Lucian, and everyone was refusing to do anything other than argue. Good grief...
He looked pissed as hell, his body was so tense that it shook, but he didn't dare open his mouth. He just kept his hands glued to the podium and his head low, eyes glued shut. He knew he'd only yell back if he spoke, and he refused to do that. He refused to be like them, be like her. Just keep quiet, do what you do best.

Kubo Atsushi
He let her words flow off him like water- everything she said- it was just nothing. All those words, all those threats and laughter- it amounted to nothing, because the only thing it produced was the water vapour her breaths released into the air.
None of it meant a thing. She just talked and talked with no aim in mind but to conceal whatever it was she frantically stacked wall after wall around.
She was a liar... but she was also pathetic.
"Lucian," he said, his voice slightly shaking. "You aren't dead. You can't die- I won't let you."
Posted: Wed, 15/02/2023 21:18 (2 Years ago)
Lucian Arbred's POV
He was stunned. What a preposterous thing to say. What did... What did he even mean?
"Kubo, I... Of course I'm dead. I've accepted that already." He blinked. "I'm nothing more than a ghost. I've been dead from a very young age."
But... Seeing the hurt look in his face. Hearing the crack of his voice...
Lucian's fingers curled into fists.
"Mei... Please be quiet," he said very gently, as though he were a mother consoling her child. "...unless you want to help. It's not going to do any good for you to just try to hurt everyone. Really, it'll do the opposite, frankly."
He took a deep breath and shook his head. "...but, that's just how you are, isn't it? I shouldn't try to change that. I shouldn't try to change you, even if I don't like or understand it. You're Mei, and that's how you are. That's how you cope with things."
He sighed. Some people... Just were like that. And you had to accept it.
...
Lucian learned to accept whatever happened to him in life. Like the snow falling on top of you, once you had frozen to death, from being outside too long.
It was almost peaceful, really.
He was peace in its essence. Nothing but a ghost.
But... Kubo said something...
That changed everything.
"Lucian, you aren't dead. You can't die- I won't let you."
His eyes widened, stirring with the beginnings of tears. Ugh... God, he wasn't supposed to cry.
"Kubo, I-" He couldn't even speak. For a moment there. "...Kubo..."
He laughed quietly, his face rapidly warming. He headed over to Kubo, and took his hands, giving him a smile.
"...I'm... Not worth that... But... I won't let you die, either, okay? I promise. You... Matter a lot to me. I-- I mean, everyone does, of course! But I..."
Oh god.
Oh... God.
To develop a bias for one person. Lucian couldn't let that happen.
"...thank you. U-Um... We should really solve this case. Shouldn't we?"
Ah god.
Emotions, not EMOTIONS!
Other people's were important. Not his.
Darcy Harper's POV
He took in all that he had said. He was right. They should all be solving the case, not fighting. Dammit. That was what he'd been hoping to do. But no, INSTEAD HE HAD TO HAVE A STUPID MENTAL BREAKDOWN-
He sighed, glancing over at Mei. "I pity her, really," he murmured, not quietly enough. "She just does whatever it takes to feel something."
He winced, shaking the thought away. He walked over to Akari.
"Hey... Are you okay? You don't seem to be taking all of this well..."
Sawyer Laurens's POV
They blinked. "Wait. Weren't we... Solving a mystery or something? About Fantatabicorncob or whatever her name was? What's- what's going on?"

Kubo Atsushi
The case. Right, the case.
"The thing is," he said quietly. "She fell to her death, from the room above. Can anyone tell me which room that is? I know you all passed it- to get to Mei, you had to."
Posted: Wed, 15/02/2023 21:25 (2 Years ago)
Lucian Arbred's POV
Was better he did. He wasn't supposed to be noticed anyway.
And... Being noticed... That'd be scary.
Lucian's eyes widened. "...was it... The room with the bridge?"
The one... He didn't jump from?...

He winced at the sound of Saeko's voice.
Remember how I broke my nose....Idrisssss?"
He paled. Oh god. If Saeko said it....everyone would assume bad things about him.
And judging by Saeko's expression, they knew it too.
He glanced at Mei, wide-eyed.
Saeko Katsumi.
Saeko started to snore.
"Uaghrn, sorry, fell asleep for a moment there. What were you saying, Mei?" Saeko chirped.
Posted: Wed, 15/02/2023 21:52 (2 Years ago)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
She simply shrugged it all off, not really able to speak much else anyways. Not like it really mattered anyways, right?
This whole thing between Lucian and Kubo was boring her anyways, it was just so edgy and uninteresting. "oH i'M aLrEaDy DeAd" Lucian, shut up you're literally right there.
...But couldn't she say the same thing?
"I pity her, really. She just does whatever it takes to feel something."
Mei smiled at that statement, scoffing as she looked over at Darcy.
Whatever it takes to feel something, huh?
...
Nah, she didn't want to feel anything anyways, did she? Just became an annoyance, really.
But-
No, stop.
...
She took a deep breath and sighed, putting her head on her fist as she propped her arm up. She didn't really care anymore, really. She had said enough and she needed to rest anyways.
...Rest for what, Mei?
You're not winning Monokuma's game anyways, so what's the point? None of it mattered anymore, did it?
She already accepted that she wasn't going to be able to survive this as soon as she understood the playing field Monokuma had given them, all the way back at Hope's Peak. Miles and miles away from where they were now.
...Space was kinda lonely, wasn't it?
...
"Mei... Please be quiet. ...unless you want to help. It's not going to do any good for you to just try to hurt everyone. Really, it'll do the opposite, frankly."
"...but, that's just how you are, isn't it? I shouldn't try to change that. I shouldn't try to change you, even if I don't like or understand it. You're Mei, and that's how you are. That's how you cope with things."
Being talked to like a child annoyed Mei, but she let it slide. She didn't have the energy to waste on reacting to it anyways. She simply shrugged, looking away from everyone with a bored and unamused look on her face.
"Coping", huh... God, she hated the way therapists talked, especially the Ultimate one, but she just couldn't be bothered.
"Got it... Will do, chief..." She muttered under her breath, the words muffled due to her chin being on her palm.
She rolled her eyes upon hearing Saeko and muttered some... Distasteful words under her breath, still not looking at them. She was already planning out ways to strangle them.
Then she felt another pair of eyes on her. With a subtle glance, she looked at Idris, who did not seem to be taking Saeko's jabs well. he was staring at her, wide-eyed, and she stared at him back. Her expression seemed to soften, but it still lacked energy and just seemed... Dull. Mei pursed her lips and sighed, giving a small shrug.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Darcy's sudden appearance made him flinch as his head jerked up to look at him, but he immediately calmed down and gave an aggravated sigh. God, he had to stop being so damn jumpy...
"..."
He couldn't say anything at first, he slowly opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.
...Was he okay? Well I mean, of course he wasn't but...
Was anyone taking this trial well?
"I-... Y-yeah... I'm... I'm fine... I just..."
A sudden lump appeared in his throat before he could say anything else. It was suffocating, made it hard to breathe.
Just like-
"...Reminds me of-"
Home.
Goddammit he couldn't say that. It was pointless to talk abut himself, nobody needed to know about him, what he did, what he'd been through. It was better to just not say anything.
"Reminds me of the past, I guess..." He said quietly, barely loud enough for even himself to hear. God, he instantly regret saying anything.
"I-I'm fine though... Don't worry about me, we... We got a..." he glanced up at Kubo, Mei, and Lucian, sighing. "We're supposed to be doing a trial anyways..."
He glanced over at Kubo once again. "Yeah... The room with the bridge is... Where we found her, right?"
Posted: Wed, 15/02/2023 22:01 (2 Years ago)
Kubo Atsushi
"Exactly." Kubo nodded, relieved. At last someone answered him. There was a creeping sensation up his spine. Like death was following him- and everyone had averted their eyes.
They didn't want to see him, because he'd carve out their eyes if they tried and squish them beneath his feet, blood pooling everywhere, glass shattered, piercing through his shoes, bloody footprints left wherever he went-
Niwa was dead... wasn't he?
And so was Kaoru's pet.
"The room with the bridge. There's something significant about that room. What do you think it is?"
Posted: Wed, 15/02/2023 22:12 (2 Years ago)
Lucian Arbred's POV
Lucian was perplexed. What was Sawyer talking about?
"...maybe the state of the bridge. You know, the conditions under which it's able to open. And... How a killer could have used it to their advantage? By opening the bridge at the right time, they could make someone fall to their death."
"You two!" Sawyer beamed. Lucian raised his eyebrows. Darcy groaned. "Oh, please no..."
"Kubo's like, a detective, and you're like his partner who works with him! And you're a therapist, like a doctor! A doctor of the mind! Haha! Oh my gosh, you're just like... SHERLOCK HOLMES AND DOCTOR WATSON!" Sawyer let out a fanatical squeal.
Lucian's eyes widened and his face flushed. Oh. My god. Someone kill me now.
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson. Their relationship was... Of course, well, friendly in nature. But some speculated possible feelings on either side, especially when Sherlock got jealous of Watson's having a wife and spending less time with him.
...
Except it's like I'm the one doting after him... When he's interested in nothing of the sort.
"U-Um... Yeah. It's like that! T-Two friends working on the investigation! Haha!"
Dear. God.
Lucian was sweating so hard right now. WHY THE HELL DID SAWYER HAVE TO GO AND SAY THAT
I'm NOT his Watson. I'll never be his Watson. Sawyer... Why?
Darcy Harper's POV
Dear God. He had KNOWN Sawyer would go and say that. Hadn't Lucian been humiliated ENOUGH for one day?
"Yeah... It's okay. Let's just... Figure this out."

blah blah blah, she probably fell asleep
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"I-- yes... We did. But. Akari, it's okay if you're not okay. Just hang in there, alright? We'll figure this trial out."
"It's okay if you're not okay."
"I'm fine, Darcy." He snapped back, his voice harsh and firm. Immediately, regret flooded his face and he closed his eyes and looked away to breathe.
"...Jesus I-... I'm sorry, I don't-... Didn't mean to-..."
He gave a frustrated sigh once again, but this time it seemed to be more anxious. He began to rub the back of his neck with his hands, trying to find something to keep himself from escalating or whatever. It's been so long since he had to be around people this much, he almost forgot about his negative tendencies. Akari was just really bad when it came to talking to people, and the way he lashed out like that, or even not too long ago when he kept snapping at Mei, it...
It worried him. He was trying so hard not to do anything drastic, keep his own thoughts and feelings out of this, but he was just... Failing. God he hated this... This place, the negativity was just really overwhelming, it was getting to him.
"Just hang in there, alright? We'll figure this trial out."
"..."
"I sure hope so..."
...
He looked back up at Kubo once he asked another question. Something special about the bridge room... Well, the only time he was ever in there was when the body was discovered (i think), so there wasn't much he could say.

Kubo Atsushi
"That's a good point, but... actually... I'm looking for something about the bridge. What's the relation between that room and the dorms? What is special about it in regards to the layout of the building?"
Sherlock? Watson? The hell was Sawyer on? Did they want to screw Lucian and Kubo over, or were they just that oblivious?
He shook his head. "Regardless of the... literary correlations you can see here, our relationship is..." He faltered. "Purely platonic. Like Lucian said."
That hurt. Kaoru probably would've laughed.
Posted: Thu, 16/02/2023 18:50 (2 Years ago)

zzzzzzz
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
He kept his head low as he listened, taking slow, deep breaths. He thought for a second, then remembered something.
"The map..." He muttered under his breath, pondering on it for a bit.
"Hey... Kubo... Does the locked door in the dorms-... Do they have anything to do with it?"
He looked up and in Kubo's direction, but kept his eyes pinned to the floor.
"I assume what you're trying to say is... The bridge was-... It was the only way across, r-right? From the left side to the right...?"
He quickly closed his mouth and grit his teeth, letting his head fall once again as he sighed. He regret saying anything, he probably sounded like a dumbass.
"I-... Sorry I just... I'm just assuming things..." He muttered quietly, a small sigh could be heard afterwards.
Posted: Thu, 16/02/2023 18:54 (2 Years ago)
Kubo Atsushi
Kubo knew he should feel impressed, but mostly he just felt annoyed. I guess he's smarter than I took him for, he thought. Annoying brat- I owe him that much.
"That's exactly it," he gritted through his teeth. "Well done, Akari."
He gave his head a brisk shake. "Okay, so basically, there was only one path to reach the right side of the school. For some reason, the killer taped down the button- as if trying to say that they went to the other side of the building." His eyes narrowed. "But that was intentional. They fused the door afterwards, because they headed directly to the left side of the building afterwards- an area I suspect they only would've come out of when they heard the murder announcement."
Establishing an alibi, similar to Kaoru's. He didn't think anyone would try it, so soon...
But that was the only solution. There was nothing else...
Posted: Thu, 16/02/2023 19:05 (2 Years ago)
Lucian Arbred's POV
"Regardless of the... literary correlations you can see here, our relationship is... Purely platonic. Like Lucian said."
A sad smile came upon Lucian's face. Of course it was. He had known Kubo saw it that way. Never would he feel Kubo's kiss on his lips, nor his arm around him. Nor his hand in his. Nor his "I love yous" and sweet little whispers in his ears..
They would never stare into one another's eyes and...
Focus, Lucian.
"Okay, so basically, there was only one path to reach the right side of the school.

They fused the door afterwards, because they headed directly to the left side of the building afterwards- an area I suspect they only would've come out of when they heard the murder announcement."
Lucian frowned. "...that... Does feel off. But how do we determine who could have headed there? Is there any distingishable trait about someone who has been there?"
He inhaled sharply. Kubo was right. Their relationship was nothing but platonic. He...
He could never hope for more.
Lucian pulled out his notepad, and nearly crumpled up the start of the poem he'd written. God. He couldn't think about love. He couldn't BE in love. It was so unprofessional...
And at a time like this...
Why... Why did he have to go and fall for Kubo Atsushi? Who could never think of him more than a friend, an ally, his therapist?
Why?...

i bet she's dreaming about saeko in the fkin grave
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
His teeth only clenched tighter as he listened to Kubo, the somewhat harsh tone of the "compliment" only told Akari that it was probably best he said nothing. He could, again, feel the insults that weren't even spoken digging into his skin.
Kubo already knew anyways, he was just leading the group around like a puppy on chains, making them spell them out for themselves. Sure, it was a good tactic and all, better than being clueless or not having the answer at all, but still...
"Yeah... Sure..." he muttered under his breath, probably not even loud enough to hear. Those words almost seemed like a growl, but it wasn't loud enough to tell anyways.
He looked over in Lucian's direction slowly, something seemed to be bothering him. Akari felt like he knew what it was, but he wasn't going to dwell on it. It wouldn't go well for either of them anyways.
Lucian and Kubo... Mei and Idris... Possibly even Darcy too...
He saw it, as much as he didn't want to. It was none of his business anyways, he shouldn't be thinking about it. None of it should've mattered to him. It's just... In a killing game? Where everything will just end in heartbreak? Pain? Suffering?
Dead bodies?
He couldn't help but to care. He knew what it felt like, and he knew what it felt like after. What that did to a person.
But it was none of his business anyways.
He opened his mouth to say something to Lucian, maybe some words of comfort, but that just wasn't his thing. He couldn't even speak anyways.
Akari didn't do well with people, he already knew that. So why was he even considering the thought of suddenly trying to now?
Focus.
He closed his eyes and sighed, reminding himself they were in the middle of something. Can't get distracted.
"So... Now we have to focus on... alibis?" He asked quietly, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
