A/N: Hi everybody! Here's the new promised chapter! I had some difficulty writing it, so I'm just really happy that I had kept the part I already wrote for my last SYOC 'cause I wouldn't have been able to finish it up for today otherwise. I think that chapter is the chapter I hate the most to write: it's just a buch of exposition for the characters, basically. Really important, but hell to write. So yeah, kinda short, we don't see a lot of the OCs, but I tried making them say a line at least (I almost forgot Murai I hope I forgot no one else). It's not the greatest chapter ever, but if I would have tried to do it to my likings, it would never had been written. But I'm glad that I'm over it and things can finally get on ro-, *ahem*, ocean. I honestly thought I would have to stay super late, like 1/2 AM to finish it and I'm glad I was able to finish earlier (*cough*finishitatall*cough*). I really hope everything will be easier now that that godforsaken chapter is out of the way. I'm really tired and I feel like I'm dying and I have no reason to feel this way. Apart maybe the lack of eating and sleeping. Should get more healthy. May also be because I'm in the dark and I did a shitload of sport in my sport class this morning... Which would explain a lot. I'm not used to exercising, especially this much.
Now, the Reviews' Replies!
bluesnowkitty: Thank you for all your kind words! I really hope my writing gets better as I write.. They say that everything comes with practices (or something like that), right? Hibiko does have a quite unique personality. XD It makes him very fun to write. And as I'm writing that, I just realize I forgot to write him a part in the chapter. Gotta go do that. Checked and I forgot like, 4 characters. Thank you for making me remember them! :P
OB13: I never has seen her shirt anywhere, but I would totally buy it as well! XD Ah, I know I didn't do super well in the intros, especially for some charas. Nobody has much spot light here too, but I swear he'll get his time to shine soon! And for Gundam and Hibiko... I thought of something, I really hope to be able to place it in the story somehow! XD Why do you predict Grace to die first? D: Grace is the best! She shan't die!
Yummy42: Everybody new to me didn't know, so don't feel bad or anything! I just decided to surprise you all with this info instead of saying it outright. i'm glad you like the idea! I know lots of people keep a unique MC, especially since it gives more og a in-game feel. I thought about it, and since I'm writing a story, not creating a video game, I thought it suited better and owould be easier for me! I don't know if every OCs will be used as MC, but they all can be. It will be chosen depending on the context and the events, which character would be better to lead this or that part. Th question wasn't stupid at all, btw! :) It's actually a very good question! Kona managed to sleep in the hallway because of the sleeping gas :P, the Remnants of Despair were too lazy to bring her to her room! Yes, shipping~ I didn't even noticed that fact before you mentionedit! XD Such unmeant irony! Now that I noticed, I love how the Paramedic is the first one to have gotten hurt. XD I'm really happy that I portrayed Kona correctly! I hope I'll be able to keep that up! :D
ApexUtopia: Thanks for stoppig by and reviewing! I understand that people may be busy, and the fact you appear once in a while is still super great! Thanks for the advices. It's hard to introduce so many characters, haha, especially in two chapters, as you've said. I'll keep this advice for future use, since I'm too lazy to revise the intros. It's not demanding: you're just suggesting me ways to ameliorate my writing, after all! And I thank you for that.
A Wish For Existence: I do not know how to rest. It's really good advice, but I'm too lazy to go back to do any work on the past chap. But I'll defenitivelt refer to this for future description/SYOC/others. The 'action will do the telling' part is really great and I def want to use it in future chapters. I'll try my best to remember everything! :P It's ok to give advice, I appreciate it! Especially since I know you meant well, so everything is fine and I thank you for your advices!
PlayGirlKitty: I usually never did such long notes? Well, as I remember. The more late I post the more I write A/Ns, apparently. XD i'm glad you like everything so far!
RettyL: Thank you! I'm glad someone enjoy my long ass notes, haha! Will Noritaka die? Will he not die? How long will he last? Who knows? :P My faves also have a tendency to die. Just look at DR3. I got so many faves to then lose them all in one single episode. Torture, Dr3 is torture! And that's without talking about all those who died in side Future... All of the (new) faves of mine are dead. There's just Mitarai left from my faves. I'm scared for him. And Makoto and Aoi. I'm 99% sure Hagakure will survive so I don't worry too much about him. XD
ShadedLyth: Wish I would have thought about Hisoka yelling everybody's name. XD Would have been great! I'm glad you like the cast so far a well! Didn't noticed the review being so late, since the notification in my email was late! XD Did the replies to reviews before receiving! Glad you reviewed, even if late! Enjoy this new chapter, the same day you reviewed! XD
Awenia: I'm glad you still like the changing MC! There's one more chapter than the last so far! XD Canadian French is greater than normal French. We have more swear words that have a history. XD Even French have a hard time understanding us, due to our old-timey French accent. It's normal you understanding nothing in French! :P There's more girls than boys since I got lots of girls' submissions and I just couldn't refuse them! I love all my girls~ Sports class are usually hell for me too, apart from moderate sport like soccer or basketball that you can take break as much as you want, kinda, if you're not actively playing. I think most people hate Juzo because he punched every protag so far apart from Matsuda and tries to beat up everyone. Plus, some says that his whole speech on talent to Hinata is the cause of him turning to Izuru and such. The new ep made me love him so much more though
Well, that's all the reviews, now enjoy the chapter~
"Uh-uhm. 1, 2, 3... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16... All there! Finally! Wasn't the note clear enough, you fucking idiots?"
A slightly high-pitched, screechy voice echoed in the auditorium after the sixteen students had gathered in the room. All stares shifted toward the podium centered on the stage. A little sea otter plushie had jumped on the podium, the microphone in hand. The otter's color scheme seemed splited into two, a side being white with a normal black dot eye and the other being black with an evil-looking red eye.
"Upupu! Hello new students! I am Monomeep, your headmaster. Now that everybody finally gathered in the auditorium, let's start the opening ceremony!"
"Our headmaster, a sea otter?"
"How does it even talk?"
"It must be a joke..."
"SILENCE NOW! How unpolite of you to talk during the ceremony!" scolded Monomeep, frowning. "Especially since I shortened it for you guys! To make it more bearable... For this special, international class, there shall be a special graduation, don't you think? Now, I know you might be thinking that graduation is still far away... BUT YOU ARE WRONG!" Puzzled looks swept across the face of the students as Monomeep proudly shouted. "You could graduate in two days, even today! Thereis just one requirement to do say: you must kill someone else."
"What kind of sick joke is this?" wondered Reiko out loud, aghast, while Miisa tightened the grip she had on Nao's clothes, burying her head as she shook it.
"That's not a nice game. It's only fun when I'm the one in charge." murmured Wisteria.
"Nobody can force me to do anything, for I am a God." proudly claimed Hibiko.
"It can't be true, right?" wondered Hisoka, shocked while Kaori just shook her head, refusing to believe the headmaster.
"What are you talking about? Why would a school allow such a thing?" asked Nao, fear slightly apparent on his face, as Yuriy spoke up.
"He's right! Murder is illegal, for a reason! Why would a school impose that as a way to graduate?"
"I doub it's actually the school... They say they are affiliated, but I highly doub that." responded Kona, frowning.
"There's never been a record of anything like that," added Zokuwa, "but this is definitively illegal! It would never pass the boarding committy! It can't happen"
"No one would do that… right?" asked Io, glancing around her.
"Io's right; there's no way we would do such a thing, there's no reason for us to kill each other!" continued Noritaka.
"You can't just force us to do such things! This is.. This is crazy!" shouted Haruna, almost hysterical.
"Huh!? There's no freaking way I'm killing ANYONE! Let alone any friends!" shouted Kanji as you heard Bianca's bubblegum pop as she stared at the floor intently.
"Your friends? You barely just met them!" cackled Monomeep. "And you'll see, how motivated someone can be~"
"What the fuck? Fuck that, I'm out." said Julian, leaving.
"Nyeeheehee... It's really impolite to leave during the principal's speech, Mister Kohlier... Such things won't be tolerated in this school environment~"
Right as Julian got to the door, a small bear with the same color scheme as Monomeep fell down from the ceiling, a katana in head, almost slicing the boy in too, who had luckily managed to avoid it.
"A-ah, let's make it a warning, shall we? Let's not forget from now on to be polite to your principal~ And to never leave during such important speeches~"
"Why are you doing any of this?" wondered Murai.
"Nyeeheehee.. Quite simple, knucklehead! I want to see all your depairing faces while you succumb to your inner demons as you're killing each others~, and the despair, oh sweet despair, the victim will feel as they are betrayed, murdered by someone they thought of as a friend... And then, all of the rest of the students' despair as they realize they cannot trust anyone, that a killer is amongst their midst, that they lost one of their dear friends and knowing that someone, one of them, is the one who killed them."
"Despair... Wanting such a thing is truely pathetic." sighed Seiun.
"Oooooh... But you'll see soon, Mister Tengoku, the true, immense power of despair as your friends all gets killed one by one~" smirked Monomeep. "To continue~ Obviously, the culprit will have to do anything they need to not be found out. But this will be explained in more details later." added Monomeep, dismissing the students' worries with the wave of his hand. "Now, now. Since we got that out of the way, let's talk school equipment!"
As Monomeep talked, numerous black rectangle fell from the ceiling, attached to a small parachute, landing in front of each students feet. "Here's your ElectroID! It's really useful: maps, rules, profiles... Everything you need is there!"
Seiun frowned, taking the black object, stamped with Hope's Peak logo, in his hands, opening it. His profile was shown first, and with a click on a map picture, a map of Level 5 was shown, suggesting there was other floors. The following was the set of rules that Monomeep had talked about, which was read intently by the violinist.
*Rule #1: Students may reside only within the school. Leaving campus is an unacceptable use of time.
*Rule #2: "Nighttime" is from 10 pm to 7 am. Some areas are off-limits at night, so please exercise caution.
*Rule #3: Sleeping anywhere other than the dormitory will be seen as sleeping in class and punished accordingly.
*Rule #4: With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore Hope's Peak Academy at your discretion.
*Rule #5: Violence against headmaster Monomeep is strictly prohibited, as is destruction of surveillance cameras.
*Rule #6: Nobody shall leave during important explanations
*Rule #7: Anyone who kills a fellow student and becomes "blackened" will graduate, unless they are discovered.
*Rule #8: Additional school regulations may be added if necessary.
"This should be all for now." said Monomeep, still smirking. "I despairlingly wish I'll see you soon, nyeeheehee~"
"I don't..." mumbled Yuriy, still focused on her ElectroID.
"I do~, since it'll most likely be because one of you is dead~" cackled Monomeep before disappearing into thing air.

A/N: Yay! Monomeep is in the house! It's a sea otter only because I wanted a water-related mammal. At first it was a sheep, but I changed it. Kept the name since I found it funny, though. Its laugh is taken from a baby sea otter sound I checked up. Originally, it was Baaahaahaa, for the sheep, but I had to switch it and decided to use the sound sea otter's make.. Which is hard to find. They don't talk that much.
Anyway! I know this chapter isn't the best but I just HAD to get done with it. By the way, I'm gonna put up a poll on my profile to see who you'd want to have Free Time Events for! I don't want to spoil anything with a 'Hey, this chara gets a lot of FTE... THEY'RE GOING TO DIE' by me accidently wanting to show lots of that chara before they die. It's just gonna be safer this way, no accidental slip-up ! (I hope)
-SPOILERS AND TALK ABOUT THE NEW SIDE FUTURE EP-
I am dying because of this new ep how could so many people die? I mean, I saw Juzo's death comin but it still hurt as hell and I'm really curious about what he was going to say, since I'm 100% it wasn't a love confession to Munakata or about Chisa. WHAT WAS IIIIT? HOW DARE YOU MUNAKATA HE WAS TRYING TO CHEER YOU UP AND EVERYTHING! So yeah, I lost another one of my fav Monday... Then, Ruruka? I know a lot of people hated her due to what she did to Seiko (Seiko my baby why did you have to diiiiie?) and then to Izayoi but I just can't hate her, mostly due to the fact that I understand her. I would probably have acted similar to her. I also have some trust issues, less intense but still, a lot of anxiety and some paranoia about some issues, some really similar to Ruruka's. Therefore, as someone who shares some of the same troubles, I really understand her and I'm sad she gets so much hate... I mean, she isn't Junko! Yet, people like Junko more... Ruruka had a lot of problems she never got around solving, which makes me very sad. Anxiety, paranoia, intense trust issues... Those just throw rationality and solidarity out the windows, especially in such circumstances. She didn't want to die, she didn't want o be betrayed: I wholefully understand that. One of my biggest fear is being betrayed. By what? Why? How? I don't know. I'm just scared it could happen. Under intense circumstances, I don't know what that would make me do. I would probably not go to her extent, but I still understand very well her reasons and all. Sorry for rambling about that: it just makes me so sad that everybody hates her so much well she has actual reasons that makes sense behind her actions, especially since I share some of the things she is hated upon with her. What she did to Seiko and Izayoi isn't forgiveable: yet Izayoi forgave her, so you can. And for Seiko.. I really loved her and hated Ruruka for what she'd done, but now that I know why, I can't bring myself too. She's passed fromt this character I dislike quite a lot to a character I relate to, which is weird and slightly scary. I'm really sad she died, especially in such an horrible way.. She's got the worst death so far. Apart from that, damn, Munakata is now officialy crazy and I'm pretty sure he has fallen into despair but refuse to admit it. Bitch you had no good reason to kill Juzo like that. Uuuugh. Plus he just goes on blaming despair for it, like, don't? It's you who did it. You're fully responsible for your actions of killing your best friend who was trying to cheer yo up and validate your choices and actions. I really wanna see where his character is going to end up, since he had such a big downfall. What's going to happen to him? I really don't know. (Btw I'm done wanting charas to die and people wanting certain charas to die and saying 'Ah! She deserved it!' It just hurts me a lot and hurts the fan of the chara, like be respectful, you don't know how someone can relate to the character or something, nobody really deserve to die, it's just really tiring and doesn't actually bring any good and I just can't stand it at this point: all characters have something valuable and it's not because you don't like them that they deserve to die) Sorry for that as well... I'm just very tired of that.. It was all over tumblr, like I want Ruruka to die, she deserved to die, finally!, the same thing about Juzo too.. Just had to get it out of myself. Then, let's talk about the last death: Kirigiri. Out of the 6 originals, I liked Toko and Kirigiri the less, so I wasn't really that impacted by her death, even though I cried. It was very sad and I got sad but yeah. Rest in peace, Kirigiri. Some people say she might live, due to a bottle of 'Cure W' (the cure Seiko tried giving to Bandai) was shown in the corner, but Idk. I kinda don't want her to return, because it'd just be another pointless fake death like for Aoi. I thought that her NG code was really awful, but fitting for DR, and Kizakura sacrifice serving nothing just seems like real life to me. Some says that it's lazy writings or things like that, that you can't just make a sacrifice useless, but hey, in real life, lots of sacrifice ends up being useless. So it's just more realistic to me. I'm just gonna sigh really hard if she ends up living after all. We already got one fake death for the main trio. I don't need nor want another. Plus, I don't want just them to live. I want some of the new chara to survive too! Even though there's only two left right now... Someone from the original DR had to go, and it ended up being her, let her rest in peace. Please, Kodaka, don't fake death her too. PLEASE. Anyway I'm done talking about the new ep... (God it ended up being long)
-SPOILERS ENDS THE TALK ENDS I'M SORRY THIS IS SO LONG OMG I JUST HAD TOO MANY FEELS IN THIS EP-
Anyway, more light-heartedly, I started playing Mystic Messenger, which was kinda a mistake. I'm addicted now. The worst is that I had seen it before, but decided not to play it due to it being and otome game and having a weird texting premise but I fell in love with it and every characters and I fall very deep. Started playing it due to cute/awesome fanart of it on tumblr and lot of talk about it. The beginning really creeped me out, though, since it seemed just like real texting but with choiced instead of you actually typing. But after that crepy part, everything ended up being really fun. I accidently clicked an answer I didn't want to answer earlier. Had to restart my phone because of that. But now everything is fine.
Just had to tell you about my new addiction. I had to chat (in the game) during one my class break so I wouldn't miss a chat (told you I'm addicted) and I was really scared about getting a phonecall since it would have been weird to get a phonecall in Korean from an app.. People would have been questioning. Or they wouldn't have noticed, I didn't want to take the risk. And I couldn't just not answer a phonecall! I'm glad I didn't have one, haha... People at my school were super judgy about anything from Asia, like almost hating on everything from there tv/movie/game wise.. Apart from thos western-look game like Mario or Resident Evil, so I tend to avoid showing/talking about those things in their presences, since I don't want to get in a debate or be the weird left out person. I got Spanish class: I have to be in teams for that class, and many others. Don't want everybody to not want to team up with me. This is my tragic life.. I would really love for anything eastern to be more normalized in society, like, no everything is Naruto, or ecchi and other stereotypes, there's really good content! (Like DR) I just really hate this prejudice on anything Asian. I don't know if it's still as prevalent in my college as my high school, but I got scarred for life and until they bring it up positively, I won't talk about it. But I will defend it still. I'm a mess.
Went to see the movie Nerve yesterday. It's really good, I like how they didn't demonize the technology, but rather the 'Watchers', or however they're called in English (watched it in French). I like when they don't demonize technology. It's what the user do of the technology that is bad,not the technology itself. Anyway, I just really liked it. Kinda short, but still amazing. Good moral and everything. Was scared it wouldn't have much substance due to the trailer not showing that much, but I'm glad I saw it. I'm also glad I went to see it at 6:45 instead of 9, since at 9 there was a downpour, and I was walking to the cinema.. There was so much water it was like a lake covering the roads. I'm glad I avoided that!
Anyway, this is a very long A/N... Damn that new ep. And new game. See you next week! (The A/N is longer than the chapter WTF I should stop)
