[] Chapter 2: The Sweet Sound of Death - by Monosaki ft. Death []
Yashiro woke up to the normal waking call of Monosaki. It's been a full day since Niko was murdered by Ciaran. Yashiro got up and put on her top hat. She pulled on her white gloves and fixed her strawberry blonde hair. She headed down to the cafeteria where a majority of the people were already sitting eating breakfast. Seco had made the food yet again, with the help of Nari since Ciaran couldn't anymore.
Yashiro sat next to Lilth and Fujihara.
"Morning Yashiro," greeted Fujihara.
"Hey, what's for breakfast today?" Said Yashiro.
"Eggs, Pancakes, Bacon, and Apple Juice," responded Lilth.
"Again?" Asked Yashiro.
"It's the only thing we have for right now," butted in Velia, "Monosaki hasn't given us any new ingredients yet."
"Shut up, Velia. No one cares. The bitch will probably give us more soon," said Rie.
"Morning," said Tomohiro as he came and sat next to Yashiro.
"Heyo Mr. Maskie," responded Yashiro.
"Mr. Maskie?" Questioned Tomohiro.
"Its the new nickname I just gave you. You're welcome."
"Thanks?"
"Good morning everyone!" Shouted Finacal as he slammed the doors open. "I smell bacon!"
"You have no idea what I'm going to do to you," Yashiro overheard Seiko say to Kana.
"Arisu, pass me the salt," Maeve said to Arisu.
"Fine," Arisu answered as she passed the salt along the table.
"Look who finally decided to show up," Seco said coming out of the kitchen looking at Asuka who just walked into the cafeteria.
"Yeah, yeah. I couldn't sleep with Velia snoring underneath me all night," Asuka responded.
"It's not my fault! I have bad nasal congestion!" Shot back Velia.
"It's because you're so snotty," Nari said as she brought out a tray of bacon and eggs.
"Oh shit, the nice girl with the sassy ass comeback," Kana said.
"I approve," commented Yashiro.
Everyone continued to eat when Monosaki suddenly walked out of the Kitchen.
"Mmm, Brekky smells really good today. The bacon is really crispy," Monosaki said while taking a bite of bacon. "Good flavor and texture."
"The hell are you doing here?" Asked Lilth.
"Oh you know, just being my normal, good, neighborly squirrel self," Monosaki responded nonchalantly.
"Haha, funny, what are you really doing here?" Asked Rie.
"What? Your favorite little buddy can't just stop by, checking up on you guys? Man, times have gotten dark," Monosaki said while taking another bite of bacon.
Monosaki slowly started walking around the room.
"Ok, Squirrel, you're starting to get sketchy," said Tomohiro.
"Starting? This bitch has been off since day 1!" Shouted Seiko.
"Well, that's a bit rude... lil' ol' me hasn't done anything wrong yet!" Monosaki responded with a smirk and another bite of her bacon.
"Just shut up," said Asuka.
"You're starting to annoy me," said Arisu.
"Thith sqwirrel ith justht wude!" Shouted Finacal with his mouth full of bacon.
"Dat eekhoorn kan doodgaan" Seco said.
"Ruuuuuddddeeeee!" Monosaki said. "But, anyway, you know what's good about this food, other than the taste of course?"
"What?" Asked Tomohiro crossing his arms.
Monosaki walked around the room until she got to Fujihara. She took a piece of her eggs off her plate, smelled it, and flicked it onto the ground. "You see, I only really like the bacon."
"Hey, that was my food!" Exclaimed Fujihara.
"And what are you going to do about it?" Questioned Monosaki as a large claw came out of her paw.
"Just leave her alone, you stupid demonic squirrel," shot Yashiro.
"See. Here's the thing. You remember me doing that, right? Well, soon you won't," Monosaki said while finishing her bacon.
"What the hell do you mean?" Asked Kana.
"Glad you asked! I have poisoned all of this food!" Monosaki exclaimed.
"What?!" Yelled Asuka as she spit out a piece of bacon.
Everyone was in shock. Maeve picked up her plate and threw it, and Kana was trying to throw up. Arisu was screaming in different voices, and Finacal was scraping all the bacon off his tounge. Yashiro looked and saw Fujihara just staring at her food.
"This is hysterical! You should see all of your guy's faces!" Monosaki shouted while laughing.
"Is this whole thing a joke?" Shouted Lilth.
"Oh no, im dead serious about the poisoning parts, there is just a catch to it. The food won't kill you, because 'technically' I can't actually kill you," Monosaki started with airquotes on the word 'technically'. "The eggs, fruit, pancakes, and apple juice will all make you lose your memories. The bacon will however tend to make you gain some memories. Anyway, once someone gets murdered, your memories will be restored after the trial. Happy Killing!" Monosaki finished with stealing a bite of bacon off of Nari's plate and walking out.
"What the hell just happened?" Asked Kana.
"W-we are poisoned?" Stuttered Arisu.
"We are! What the hell!" Shouted Kana.
"It seems the effects happen the quickest on the simple minded," Tomohiro said to Yashiro.
Yashiro was sitting on her bed, trying her hardest to make sure she didn't forget stuff. Before they all split apart, they figured out that only Finacal and Asuka would be the people to learn and things. Seco wouldn't be affected at all, and everyone else will start to forget things. Yashiro was trying her hardest to focus on the most important things, yet something occasionally faded from her mind. No matter how hard she tried to focus on it, it wouldn't come back.
A knock on the bed frame awoke Yashiro from her thoughts. She picked her hat up from off her nightstand and put it on. She looked up to see Tomohiro standing right there.
"H-hey Mr. Maskie... What are you doing here?" Asked Yashiro.
"I'm just making sure that no one has forgotten anything important yet. It's only been a few hours and Kana is basically a John Doe now. He can't remember jack squat," Tomohiro responded.
"Yeah, I've forgotten a few things, but sadly I can't remember what I forgot... or, uhm, if that makes sense."
"Yeah, I get what you mean," Tomohiro said with a chuckle.
"Anyway, have the dinosaur dude and the singer girl learned anything yet?" Asked Yashiro.
"Not much. They are just happy they haven't forgotten anything. It does seem like Asuka is hiding something though," Tomohiro responded.
"Hayyyyy, wot are you louve birds doinnn?" Asked a stumbling Seiko. "Hayy, youu're preeetttyy hawt."
"Uhm... You're dating Kana," said Tomohiro.
"Hooos Kananana? An I waznt tahlkin to youuu, im tahlkin to da miget" responded Seiko.
"Yeah, uhm no. And why are you walking weird?" Asked Yashiro trying to conceal a blush.
"I kindah fogot how to walk..." Seiko responded.
"And what is up with your speaking?" Asked Tomohiro.
"I kindah fogot how to du dat tooo," Seiko said as she fell face first onto the ground.
"I'll help her up," Tomohiro said.
"Yeah, I better go. I'll see you later," Yashiro said.
Yashiro walked out of the sleeping quarters into the main room. She saw Asuka sitting there and decided to go and talk to her.
"Heya Asuka. How are ya doing?" Yashiro asked.
"Huh? Oh, im fine," Asuka reaponded.
"Have something on your mind?"
"No... not really. I'm trying to remember stuff for the good of the group, but nothing is working right now."
"Its ok. As long as all of us aren't going to be forgetting things, that will be fine. You and the Dinosaur Dude can help keep us on track."
"Yeah, I guess..."
"Okay, something is up, spill."
"Im fine really..."
"Just spill already."
"Okay, okay. Fine. I just feel like someone here hates me."
"Well I mean, its obvious that Seiko hates you for some reason, and no one really knows why but-"
"No, I mean someone else does..." Asuka said cutting Yashiro off.
"I- I kinda doubt that anyone else hates you..." Yashiro said.
"That's what I'm hoping that I can remember, who hates me, because i'm scared..."
"Hey, its ok," Yashiro said while putting a hand on Asuka's shoulder. "I saw a kareoke machine in the Library, do you want to sing a bit?"
"S-sure. That would be nice," responded Asuka with a smile.
After Asuka and Yashiro sang multiple songs, including but not limited to, Fight Song, Monster, Shake That, Love you Like a Love Song, Closer, Heathens, Ride, Stitches,Victorious, Way Down We Go, and You Don't Own Me. They sang their little hearts out, dancing, knocking books off shelfs, making dramatic moves, and not caring that Maeve gave them the stink eye during their performance of Closer.
"This was a lot of fun again," Asuka said.
"Yeah, this was fun," Yashiro replied.
[] Ding Dong, Bing Bong []
"Okay party peoples, time to get yo booties in bed!" Monosaki said on the monitors.
"Welp, I guess its time for bed," Asuka said as she started out the door.
"Yup. Night," Yashiro responded.
As Asuka left the Library, Yashiro felt a bit dazed. She walked out of the library and looked back towards the door.
"What was I doing in the Library?" Asked Yashiro.
