"Huh?"
Shi paused, processing what she'd just heard. Of course she was fine. Great, even. Why wouldn't she be fine. Everything-
Almost everything was perfect.
Right?
"Uh... yeah?"

All Around The School
"Ding dong ding~ puhuhuhu! It's time for lunch time, kiddos! Gotta keep in tip top shape if you want to escape~ and enjoy your MURDEROUSLY delightful prom tonight!"
Monokuma grinned, his white teeth shining in the bright light of the camera.
"Better hurry up~ I think you'll find something very interesting there..."
Kubo Atsushi
"The bear knows," Kubo realised. Everything felt numb. "We're trying to escape... and he doesn't care. Of course... why wouldn't he."
There were cameras everywhere. Even the dorms.
The thought made him nauseous. Nothing could escape the bear's eye. Everything that happened- it happened because Monokuma wanted it to. There was no way around it.
Even the choice of murderer seemed predetermined. Had Kaoru always been meant to die?
His brow furrowed. No. That was stupid. The bear was hardly omnipotent- that's why he stashed the cameras everywhere.
But still, the thought remained. Quiet, but still there, whispering in the back of his head.
Kubo acknowledged it and then stuffed it as deep in his subconscious as it'd go.
"Do you think we should keep investigating? Or head off to lunch?" he asked Idris. "If a murder has occurred, then we'll get the broadcast anyway. We could probably keep searching all through the lunch period and drop by for something later."
Miyako Hiroto
"It's just I-"
"Ding dong ding~" the bear's banshee voice rang down the corridors. Miyako's soul slowly died as the message went obnoxiously on and on.
"Oh, great," she grumbled when he finally shut up. "More murder. What do you want to do, Shi?" She eyed her. "Cafeteria, I'm guessing?"
She shook her head. "Honestly, I wouldn't blame you. I kind of want to drop down there myself. If only to yell at the idiot who got themself killed on day 2."

"Oh, I'm fine going wherever. We'll probably have to get Darcy though, I'm pretty sure prom is a required part of the curriculum here and I doubt he's exempt."
What's he doing, anyways?

"Stay here...I guess. 'Cause if there was a body, which I hope there isn't, we could both have alibis, right?"

Miyako Hiroto
Her brow furrowed. "Right. Save Darcy."
Gotta love that. She heaved a sigh. "Might as well, I guess. You want to go down first, or...? Yeah..."
Kubo Atsushi
"Yeah, I guess." Kubo had to hide a wince. He hadn't even considered that. Was he slipping? Or were there always things he never considered, just waiting to be uncovered?
It was a disconcerting thought. He imagined it would be that way for anyone... but that as the Ultimate Detective, it might come as a harsher blow. After all, being a detective is about people. You figure them out, and start deducting off of it. You need to have some kind of way to feel superior, else you stop assigning them categories and roles in your mind. If you start seeing them as equals... Well, everything breaks apart.
It was a hard thought, realising just how little he knew. How misplaced his confidence had been all this time.
Before he knew it, his lips were forming around the words.
"Hey Idris... there was something I wanted to say to you. If it's okay."
Not now, his mind argued. Wait until you're at Mei's, and he's emotionally vulnerable. Then you know he'll forgive you.
But if Kubo did that, would he even be worthy of forgiveness? Manipulating Idris... dehumanising him... viewing him as a means to an end...
He looked Idris in the eyes and he recognised another person staring back through those piercing, catlike eyes. He imagined himself in Idris' mind's eye. Little Kubo Atsushi, amber eyes and black collar. The one who tore him apart for no reason, other than to satisfy his own twisted... whatever. He wasn't sure what Idris thought, not really.
Because he was another person.
A person who everyone, especially Kubo, had chosen to degrade and dehumanise. To toy with. Even when people like Miyako said sympathetic things about Idris, it was never done without some mention to Mei. Mei, Mei Mei. As if that made someone valuable.
As if he wasn't capable of so much more.
Like how I make my everything about Kaoru.
The shock of the statement nearly shook him out of his thoughts. He'd never considered just how closely he tied his identity in with Kaoru. Just how much he made her influence him. Of course he knew that she was a part if him... but he never considered his own role in it.
How could he heal, if he was determined to stay hurt? How could Idris heal when everyone was determined he'd stay sad and broken without Mei?
Maybe it was a poor comparison to make. But this was the closest he'd come to empathy in a while. So to hell with it. If he could live as Kubo Atsushi, he could stomach being a fool.
A detective? He nearly snorted at the thought. Hardly. It's a miracle I can wipe my own ass.

"Hey Idris... there was something I wanted to say to you. If it's okay."
Idris froze.
"...yeah?" He muttered.
What could it be about?
Secrets? Murder? ....her?

❄️lucian arbred's pov🕊️
He had just finished making the pasta, while contemplating this dilemma, when...
"Ding dong ding~ puhuhuhu! It's time for lunch time, kiddos! Gotta keep in tip top shape if you want to escape~ and enjoy your MURDEROUSLY delightful prom tonight! Better hurry up~ I think you'll find something very interesting there..."
Well... He was already in the cafeteria's general area, but just hearing the bear's voice again made Lucian wince on the inside. But something sent chills down his spine. Escape?... Was Monokuma suggesting the idea of escape again?
The last time it had been a trap. Obviously, it was a trap, he would never actually offer them the opportunity to. But the idea of escape made Lucian... Have a mixed pang in his chest. It was one of hope, but also of worry. Would it really be possible?
...murderously delightful. Oh, yikes. No doubt, the bear was probably drumming up some twisted motives again. The thought of this hurt Lucian as he... Remembered Kaoru, and the tragedy with Setsuna and Mei over Futatabi's death. And Horatia, of course, too... Though he wasn't quite sure how he should feel about the suspicious and unstable individual. Even after she was dead and gone now...
Something very interesting... What could the bear be talking about? Was it... Something useful?
Probably not for escape.
Lucian turned to Akari. "...sounds like prom might be a... Bit of a bust." It didn't sound like a good idea to go when the bear specifically mentioned it being murderous in nature... But, still, they wouldn't go along with it, right? Nobody would actually... Kill after what happened last time... Would they? Who would even want to?
The thought of someone else dying made Lucian wince. He almost wished it could be him instead, that he could just take his own life in the place of someone else's, and that would be that, but... That wouldn't do anyone any good... right?
The idea of prom dwelled on Lucian's mind again. No, there was still no question of him asking someone. Kubo probably had every intention to go with anybody but him, or not go at all.
Because seriously.
In all honesty.
There was NO way that he felt the same way.
And... That was okay. Of course that was okay.
Because how Lucian felt... Didn't matter. It never did, and that was okay.
Lucian carefully served pasta onto a plate and handed it to Akari, and then proceeded to fetch a plate for Sawyer and bring it over.
It was what everyone else wanted that mattered.
📚SAWYER LAURENS'S POV🍭
. . .
Teddy bear. Teddy bear. Why was the teddy bear there?
Something about... Prom. Fun place.
Event thingy...?
...
.
..
...
I--
Murder.
Murder?
.
..
..
...?
What did that... Word mean?
A name came from Sawyer's lips.
"Erica...?"
It was... A familiar one. Though they couldn't remember why.
...
Murder...
What was murder?
Why did it sound familiar??
"hey... Sawyer. I got you some pasta."
Oh... That voice.
..
...
Lucian?
Pasta.
Sawyer stared at the plate in front of them mindlessly. What were...
They supposed to...
Do with this?

🦋Darcy Harper's POV💌
Although... He wasn't so sure he wanted to go to prom anymore. But... He needed to. Right?
What did Monokuma mean? About... There being something useful there?
Or... He could just die down here.
...
Not that it'd make a difference anyway.
They were probably all going to-
Ah, jeez, no. He couldn't think like that. Not keeping on hoping to escape, not keeping on trying would be exactly what WOULD doom them all. There had to be a way out.
He just... Had to find it.
Somehow.
If he even wanted to...

Kubo Atsushi
Kubo licked his lips. Oh, kinda dry. He wished he had some chapstick right about now. His hands were itching too. He wanted to shove them in his pockets, or in his gloves, or-
He forced his eyes back to Idris.
Say it.
You have to say it.
Kubo, please-
For a second, Idris' eyes were Kaoru's. She was saying that she could be saved. That by his words, those eyes would remain, still and beautiful. They faded back into Idris's and-
"I'm sorry," he said, and suddenly Kaoru didn't matter. The world of Shirakawa-go faded into the background and the eyes on him blinked out of sight. All that stood there was them. Him and Idris. All the guilt and pain and- "I'm sorry. I... I don't know what else to say. I shouldn't have..."
Shouldn't have what?
"I shouldn't have," he said quietly. "And I'm sorry."
Posted: Fri, 10/11/2023 07:58 (7 Months ago)
"..."
Idris scowled.
"Spit it out, already...please."
"What are you sorry for, huh? What? Tell me, dammit."
Her? Was it about her?
Posted: Fri, 10/11/2023 08:10 (7 Months ago)
Kubo Atsushi
What are you sorry for, huh? Acting as if he didn't know- hell, maybe he was being honest. Maybe he didn't know.
Maybe Kubo was apologising for nothing and Idris didn't care. He should probably just say nevermind, sorry for bothering you, asshole and finish searching these stupid labs once and for all.
"Look," he said. "I'm sorry, alright? I'm sorry for what I said to you about her. It was stupid and I knew it, even then. God, I just- even if you don't care, I wanted you to know that. Goddamn, I just-"
He paused. His hand brushed against the warm skin of his forehead. He dizzily wondered if he had a fever. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. He wasn't sure about a lot of things now.
"I'm sorry."
The words were foreign on his tongue. Awful tasting. He wanted to pretend he never said any of that. Get up and walk away. Maybe he'd start now- take a few steps forward and keep going, and going and going until even the faces of those still alive blurred to nothing.
Running away, again, Kubo? He shook his head. Idiot.

"Sure. Honestly, I... Don't trust him. If that makes sense. I know it sounds like a dick move but... Yeah."

Miyako Hiroto
"Don't bother, Shi. You know I feel the same way." Miyako stared down into the endless darkness. A creeping sensation crawled like ice over her spine. "...But... I promise I won't let anything happen to you."
She told her brother something about promises once. How you always kept them. Only the morally bereft didn't.
Miyako shrugged off the thought, because it was strange and fleeting, and quite frankly irrelevant. There was no point to wondering about the past, wondering about how things might be different. It wouldn't change anything. It wouldn't make him smile at her again.
Hmm. "We'll need something to climb with. Any ideas?"
Posted: Fri, 10/11/2023 19:46 (7 Months ago)
"Hmm.... do you remember where the gym is? It might have a climbing rope or something. Though I guess that'd be a normal gym thing, so... Maybe?
Shi shrugged before puffing out a cold breath.
"If not, we'll probably have to ask around."

very belated sutaraitsu
"O-Oh, that sounds, uh. Cool! Did your um, parents, not like roots? I like beets, but carrots are nice too!"
Sutaraitsu wriggled closer to Setsuna's body and the air started smelling like strawberry ice cream, or something. "A dance? I'm, uh, not great at dancing, but um, I could try, I guess..." Celery pondered what to do with the excessive use of commas.
"Uhh, we c-could go now, if you want." He nuzzled one of Setsuna's other unspecified body parts which may be either his chest, arm, or something else.

Miyako Hiroto
"Yeah... I think there should be something."
She bit her lip, feeling oddly out of sync with the conversation. Something else was happening right now. Something bad. It sent nervous tingles running up and down her spine.
Does it have to do with... him?
Setsuna Jun
"Go?" Setsuna's face flared with heat. Then he realised. "OH! Oh yeah! Cafeteria! Not- ahahah. Don't worry about it."
Cheeks flaming, he tried to get out of bed and tripped on the blanket. "OW! God, why must the world hate me?"
In The Cafeteria...
While Miko sat, sipping yoghurt and staring infinitely into space, light began to glint through the windows. The streams of cheerful sunniness traced patterns along the floor, dancing across the boards. As they crept, growing higher and higher with the sun, something in the far off shadows became illuminated...
A bloodied form, a limp hand, a peaceful smile set onto a bruised and shattered face.
Akora Menx... the Ultimate Veterinarian... was dead.

❄️lucian arbred's pov🕊️
A body had been discovered. In the cafeteria. Lucian felt a tightening in his throat and gasped for air, only to find it there only because he desperately fought back tears, choking back sobs. He felt like he was going to VOMIT. He wasn't hungry, not anymore.
He hadn't been that hungry in the first place. But someone else was dead. And that guilt, that guilt that... Maybe he could have done something more. Something better. He tearfully turned to Akari and tried not to burst into hyperventilating.
He could only say one thing.
"...oh...," he rasped. "I guess... It's... happened again...I failed... Again. Someone... Else is dead... Why... Why... why...?"
Why couldn't it have been him instead?? He didn't even want to dare step into the cafeteria. But... They'd... Have to... Right?
"...guess... We should... Go."
Lucian just felt limp right now. Were people just going to keep dying? How many more lives was this twisted game going to claim?

Would be guilty
Of something.
God. Why couldn't this all just stop? Who the hell was doing all this?
Darcy looked around for stairs, an elevator, anything... Where was the way back up to the upper floor?
Did he even want to be back up there? To see another dead body?
📚SAWYER LAURENS'S POV🍭
...
The audio sounded...
Strangely familiar.
Huh. Teddy bear. Funny little teddy bear. Fuzzy bunny goof.
Heh.

Sawyer found themself walking. They didn't really know where they were going, but...
Then there was something. Or someone. Sprawled out on the floor.
And they were... Confused.
They seemed to be lying on the floor dor a while... Must be...

...
Asleep?
They tilted their head and stared in confusion.

Something...
Was faintly familiar.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
was that the bite of 87
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Akari simply sat in silence that entire time, gazing worryingly at Sawyer. Chop chop chop, that's all they did. A few words here and there, them reassuring that they were supposedly alright.
"Sawyer!"
That even startled Akari. The tension had been building, the rhythmic chopping and lack of response from Sawyer didn't help either.
Then the knife fell. Clattered to the floor. The metallic ring of the blade hitting the tile, it wasn't a new one.
Goddammit.
He stayed in silence, unsure whether or not his involvement would make things better or worse. He didn't know what to do, not like he ever did anyways. Oh well, before he could wallow in his own sorrows for too long, that damn bear spoke up once again.
"Ding dong ding~ puhuhuhu! It's time for lunch time, kiddos! Gotta keep in tip top shape if you want to escape~ and enjoy your MURDEROUSLY delightful prom tonight!"
"Better hurry up~ I think you'll find something very interesting there..."
Well... They were already kinda there. How unfortunate, Akari wanted to stay away from any of this as much as he could. Not only that, prom was mentioned again. Oh lovely. The time only drew closer and closer, and Akari had the creeping feeling that he wouldn't be able to get out of it this time. He tried do desperately to put it out of his mind, forget about it all, hope that he wouldn't have to endure whatever hell Monokuma had planned, but guess things weren't that easy. They never were, after all.
Why can't I forget? Do things really have to be so cruel?
He decided to stay where he was, no point in clambering over to fall into another one of Monokuma's sick tricks.
Last time that happened, Horatia was found Gojo'd and things crumbled apart.
But the recollection brought a new thought to his mind. What could this "interesting thing" possibly be? Another hint? Another sick game, like those damn secrets? Another body?
"...sounds like prom might be a... Bit of a bust."
Akari pretty much breathed a sigh of relief, although he hoped it wasn't too obvious.
Thank God.
But Lucian looked uneasy. He felt a little bad, unable to have any sort of positive influence, but at the moment... Even bothering to try didn't seem worth it.
The pasta was handed out, and Sawyer continued on with their shenanigans. Akari wasn't exactly quick to dig in, almost stalling to take the first bite. Sawyer, on the other hand, was just staring at the plate mindlessly. It was... honestly troubling to see.
And the announcement didn't make it any better. just as he was about to start eating, the intercom flared to life once again and rang that horrid alarm throughout the whole school.
"A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED! A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED! EVERYONE PLEASE GATHER IN THE CAFETERIA!"
No... God, no... What the hell...? He completely froze, the news once again sending a shock throughout his entire body.
There was a corpse in the room right next to them, and they didn't even know. A murder happened right under their noses once again, and they didn't even know. Lucian looked like he was on the verge of breaking down. Couldn't say he didn't feel the same, but he looked rough. He felt guilty for all of this, he was the one so desperate for a happy ending. Hell, he even made a promise or two about how this would never happen again. God, at this point...
"...oh... I guess... It's... happened again...I failed... Again. Someone... Else is dead... Why... Why... why...?"
"...Lucian, I-"
What was he supposed to say to that? He wasn't even sure what the hell was going on himself. He couldn't comfort Lucian, it would all be filled with empty lies anyways. He couldn't, he just couldn't-
But then his eyes landed on Sawyer. They were walking out of the room, towards the cafeteria. Sawyer. Sawyer
"...guess... We should... Go."
Yeah. Yeah, they should. Before Akari knew it, he was following the Ultimate Loremaster into the Cafeteria.
It can't be, right? There's... No way they could've...
Right?
The body was right there. Akora, the Ultimate Vet. The haunting glow of sunlight illuminating her corpse, a smile covered in bruises and blood, all right there. They were dead. They had been murdered.
Sawyer. They had a look in their eye again, a terrifying one. First it was confusion. Not shock, not horror, not disbelief, confusion. Sure kept up with their track record, but the look that followed after...
It was even worse. Familiarity. Sure, they were looking at a former fellow classmate. Surely they had to be confused due to the memory loss. Surely they were just trying to figure out just what they were looking at.
But he couldn't stop himself. He was tired, overcome with exhaustion, bewilderment, resentment, fear. He was making the wrong choice, he was doing something that he would regret. He didn't need another regret in his life, he didn't need more trouble.
Yet he always started his own problems.
He grabbed Sawyer's shirt and pulled them away, glaring deep into their oblivion-filled eyes. It can't be, it can't be them, it can't, right?
"The hell is going on with you, huh?! The hell is this?! What the-"
No. God no, right? It... No-
What the hell am I doing...?
He backed off. His sharpened glare deep into Sawyer's soul that had been filled with anger and confusion had suddenly turned into regret. Remorse. He let go of their shirt, but didn't move an inch.
"What the f**k happened here...?"
[ wooooowwww angsty akari that's completely out of character, gotta love it, woooooo so cool ]

Sutaraitsu Umemoto
"Shoot! Um, are you okay-?"
Sutaraitsu crawled to the edge of the bed and extended his hand to Setsuna. And like, a sudden gust of air conditioner wind ruffled his hair or something, because this post looks empty and I don't want it to be.
Rays of incandescent light (they might be fluorescent idk) bounced off his pink eyes (not conjunctivitis-afflicted eyes) as they sparkled as if tiny fragments of diamond were strewn across their corneas. I don't know why I just had to compare them to that.
He thought he'd heard something robotic speak in the distance, but surely that wasn't as important. "So, umm, are we going to the cafeteria?"
Mika Uyehara
"A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED! A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED! EVERYONE PLEASE GATHER IN THE CAFETERIA!"
Well, isn't that fun. Just when he'd managed to banish that child-eating...child back to wherever it was from. Mika couldn't actually care less about who died. The only important thing was that he was alive, wasn't it?
Anyways, a dead body is still a dead body, so, like, he went to see anyways. Not like he'd die from it or anything. Or maybe it's been laced with some sort of extremely deadly virus strain with no cure.
He walked a little toward Akora's dead body or something idk i'm not sure if anyone else is there

Miyako Hiroto
Murder. In the cafeteria.
She felt dizzy all of a sudden. A horrible weight was pressing in on her. All powerful. Too powerful. She could barely breathe with the terror that was ensnaring her lungs in an iron grip.
Please. Don't let him be dead. I'm begging you. Shi, save him-
Her hand found her girlfriend's, and suddenly she was looking right at her. Those beautiful blue eyes, staring down into the pit. Not noticing her. Not seeing her.
Miyako's heart gave a lurch.
"We need to go," she whispered. "Darcy be damned. Let Monokuma save him."
Setsuna Jun
"Yeah. The cafeteria." Setsuna couldn't stop staring at Sutaraitsu. When did he get so cute????
Just the way he looked at him...
Setsuna recognised that the amount of blood rushing to his head probably wasn't healthy and may in fact lead to his early death, but he also recognised that he didn't really care. Goddamn, why was he such a simp...? Why was Sutaraitsu worthy of so much simping.
"Yep!" He squeaked, jumping to his feet and nearly tripping over the blanket again. "Cafeteria! Let's go!"
He seized Sutaraitsu by the wrist and started dragging him out the door, unable to even look at him. God; why am I like this?
Posted: Sun, 12/11/2023 05:02 (7 Months ago)
"O-ok." Shi nodded, stunned.
Already? Fuck, this is a mess.
She held her hand out for Miyako to take. Her eyes were locked onto the nearby speaker.
