The light switches were flicked, and from the darkness above came light. Inside a room containing fifteen tubes linked into a single pillar inside its inner circle, a masked individual surveyed its surrounding. The mask was akin to that of a jester with two sides of facade. The right one was an innocent white with black dot as an eye, and the other one was menacing black with a red gash, both of them forming a distinct shape of a bear. Slung on their shoulder was a small bag they held steady with one hand.
The white room were filled with cables connected to the walls, the tubes, and the pillars. A desk before them waited patiently with three flashing monitors on top and a collection of hardware below. Walking toward the computer, the figure sat on the chair before it and began booting the monitor. From it came a mechanized voice of a woman.
"Welcome."
"Please insert proof of body recognition into the scanner."
Suddenly, the camera on the middle monitor flashed red. The masked figure fully expected his current situation. They pulled out a decapitated head from the bag and faced its open-eyed retina as close as possible with one hand. After a slight whir of processing, the voice continued.
"Good Morning, Ms. Chisa Yukizome. Have a nice day."
Pushing the head deep inside the bag, the figure turned to the monitor once more. Simultaneously from the three monitors came sixteen profiles in their respective windows detailing their respective names and vitality. The masked man hovered the cursor into the main control system. Clicking further inside the program and combing the program script itself. Finding a suspiciously named folder, the masked figure seemed to have found the data they needed.
Clicking it open, a series of file-names appeared. Scrolling down, the masked figure found an executable labeled 'startup'. Without hesitation, he confirmed his choice and something popped up on all the three screens. Graphs and program windows of various sizes began to infiltrate every open space on the screen before coming into a complete halt. A short while later, an audible 'ping' was heard from the center-screen's speaker.
It was a program window with only one thing displayed:
[Progress: 82%]
In silence, the figure closed the window and searched for the forceful abort button. As the camera flashed red once again, they pulled out the same head to pass the body recognition prompt.
"Affermative, Ms. Chisa Yukizome. Proceeding with Force Awakening Program."
The tubes silently whirred into a halt before opening one by one. The masked figure eyed at them, still sleeping. Fifteen teenagers of both gender, sleeping with a peaceful face in a white laboratory test gown. Confirming their state, pure and unchanging, the masked figure injected a dosage of liquid inside each of their body, prolonging their awakening. Looming before them, the masked figure stared at the pillar as if mocking whatever was inside it.
"Not this time."
Prologue
Happy Birthday
Rules:
1.) Send your submission into my Private Message. Do not post it on the review board for it is susceptible to other people's view. And in other words: Spoiler. I'd prefer that nobody knew each other's character except their own. It's also easier to send you private messages if I had trouble writing your characters and informing them being killed/a killer ahead of time.
2.) No doubles, as in, don't post a character you've submitted to another SYOC. I'll know. Also, one submission per-user please.
3.) No canon talents, but I'll accept the Ultimate Lucky Student
4.) Speaking of talents, I may make one of the submitted character's talent "Ultimate ?" to keep it interesting and in the same spirit as the main-line Danganronpa (Kirigiri and Hajime). Maybe, maybe not.
5.) I will not accept Marty Stu and Mary Sues. They're Boring.
6.) Ridiculous talents are not allowed. So no Ultimate NEET or Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe Player.
7,) The Mutual Killing Game in this fan-fiction is taking the system from Danganronpa 2, as in, there will be a Cross Sword segment, Logic Dive, etc.
8.) I need 16 students: 8 males, and 8 females.
