''They hid it?''
''They did.''
''Thought they could get it past me, huh?!''
''Yup! What stupid, hopeful fools...!''
''Now then, shall we crush it? Humanity's last rays of hope?''
''Let's do it. The Second Term of Despair is underwaaaaaayyy!''
This story starts with a letter. An invitation, to be exact. The letter was fresh, seeming as though it had never been touched, and the handwriting was impeccable. Such as you'd expect from an invitation to the most prestigious, highly achieving school in - in the whole world, perhaps. Hope's Peak Academy.
Only the elite could gain entry, as well as one lucky randomized student each year. To go was an honour. To go meant you'd have your whole life stable and secure.
Why would anyone turn it down?
This year, fifteen students had been sent these invitations. One of those was a girl called Shiko Asane. She was so shocked to receive an invite that she had taken several pictures of herself with it.
Looking back at the photographs, she examined her face, her dark skin, her frizzy black hair tied back in a ponytail.
The one known as the Super High School Level Voice Actor.
Putting down the camera, she paused for a minute to daydream about her future at Hope's Peak. What friends would she make? Any enemies? Maybe she'd get rich.
As she stepped into the school, she examined the hallways, all looking somewhat more colourful than she'd imagined. Several bulletins - advertisements for clubs, donations, the usual. Just as Shiko had noticed that there were more floors, a feeling of deep weariness set in.
The scenery began to meld together, all compressing towards the now blinding lights above her.
Ugh... my head...
She just had time to sit down on a bench before passing out.
A/N: I know this was short, but it was only a prologue! And of course, I need 14 students to join me. If you're interested in submitting a character, PM me! The form is in my profile. Your character will probably die or get executed, but that's the fun of Dangan Ronpa! I'm also not very good at writing, mysteries especially, so co-writers would be appreciated. Your character may be rejected if they are a Mary Sue or if they're too similar to a canon character!
