I stepped into the hallway, stretching as I did. My E-Handbook was primarily being held in my left arm, which soon found itself folded behind my neck, my right arm stretched through the air, slightly curving backwards, *Ugh...Alright, so right now Makoto's going to be touring the school with Sayaka, tutorials for free time after all...* I thought to myself, not long afterwards my arms fell to my sides as the breath I was holding was released in something of a sigh.
I looked around, Kiyotaka was at the end of the hall, talking with Makoto, no doubt he was about to look for Sayaka.
Makoto finished up and turned around, like a main character he decided to approach me, "Hey Jane, good morning." he waved politely.
I returned the wave, a smile on my face, [Sup, good morning to you.] I typed, [Good luck with Sayaka.] I chuckled as he reeled back in surprise.
"How did you-" He started, a surprised look on his face.
Heh, time for some trolling, [I'm psychic.] I typed with a completely straight face.
Makoto stared at me blankly, not really sure how to react to this.
I chuckled to myself, [Just kidding.]
Makoto didn't look like he believed me, "Not another one..." he said under his breath.
I could barely hear him, [Come again?]
Makoto put up his hands defensively, "Oh, nothing, sorry." his face soon returned to that usual smile of his, "Anyway, I have to go find Sayaka, see you later."
I nodded, with this Makoto walked past me in search of his Idol Waifu.
Daytime:Free Time 1
With a smile on my face I left the hallway, I didn't want to hang out with Kiyotaka, nothing against him but I can only take so much noise in the morning, i'd rather not snap at him so I decided to put my plan in motion...I will hang out with 'Ogre', Sakura Ogami, in hopes I can form a bond with her so that I can talk some sense into her...Chances are that Junko will want me dead since i'm a threat to her 'Killing School Life' show.
I navigated the hallways with the skill of a master, having put so many hours into the game I knew these halls inside and out, the only difference was that I could now get stabbed in them...Not a pleasant thought in the slightest, but a realistic one, I needed to express extreme caution if I was going to get through this, not that everyone else's life wasn't important but what would be the point if I myself got killed, everything would have been for nothing, worse case is that it would escalate the killings.
I eventually saw Sakura, Aoi, and Toko. Toko looked...Well, not happy, but she wasn't freaking out. Aoi looked slightly annoyed, probably because her efforts were yielding no reward, those metal plates ain't coming off and we've already gave what we can a thorough search. Sakura, her arms crossed over her chest, looked as indifferent as ever...
[Yo.] I typed, giving a wave as I approached the group, [What are you guys up to this morning?]
Hina smiled, "Sup Jane, we were just looking around again." her voice practically oozed energy, honestly it was almost startling, no one should sound this awake in the morning.
Toko was staring off somewhere, probably hoping i'd ignore her, Sakura was staring at me, like she had something she wanted to say but couldn't. I began typing again, [I appreciate your efforts, however this is morning, you have plenty of time for searching.] I smiled, [I would suggest some relaxation, it's not good for your health to be so serious so early.]
Hina's eyes widened slightly, "Really?" she recovered not long afterwards, "Well in that case we should all hang out, we've got time after all, right?" she asked, a large smile on her face.
Toko however looked afraid of this suggestion, "I-If we're taking a break, I-I'll be leaving now..." without even waiting for a response she darted off.
I blinked a couple of times before returning my gaze to the other two, a smile crossed my face, [How convenient, i was hoping to talk with you guys.]
Eventually we arrived in the Cafeteria and took seats, I requested that we come here so we could talk and sit. Both of them took seats opposite of me, I laid my E-Handbook on the table in front of me and typed with a smile, [Now then, let's begin.] I started, [Do either of you have any questions that you'd like to ask, I've yet to tell you much of anything about myself after all.]
Hina almost immediately sprung up, "Do you like swimming?" It was so sudden that I recoiled in shock, Hina rubbed the back of her head, "Eheheh, Sorry 'bout that."
I slowly regained my composure and started typing, [It's fine.] I stated, a frown crossed my face, [Unfortunately I may not have a good answer because I can't swim, never learned how.] I could feel a heat in my cheeks, it was pretty embarrassing in combination with the other things I never learned.
Aoi recoiled, as if in absolute terror, "You don't know how to swim!?" My face started to glow redder as I bit my lip, a serious expression rose on her face, "Alright, it's settled!"
I raised my right eyebrow, [What's settled?] need I ask...?
Aoi smiled, a look of determination in her eyes, "When we get out of this i'm totally gonna teach you, Sakura can help too, right?" she asked, looking up at her giant friend.
Sakura looked at her and then nodded, "Of course..." I knew why she was hesitant about this, it was no secret that she had a thing for Hina but she knew that eventually she'd have to betray her.
I stared at her, [Worried about what Monokuma said?] I typed, they both looked back at me, their usual faces faltering.
Aoi couldn't respond, Sakura simply stayed silent.
I blinked at them a couple of times before typing once more, [Don't be...] well, here it goes, [Everyone here is precious, no matter who they are, you are all important to someone that's important to you, and that is why no matter what...I won't allow you to kill each other, if one of you should falter, I WILL stop you.] I stated boldly, my stare shifting between both of them.
They looked surprised, honestly I don't blame them, that was a pretty hefty commitment I just tossed out and there was no guarantee I would, or even could keep my word.
Hina wore a look of concern, "That's nice and all but what about you, your a dainty flower compared to almost everyone here." she was referring to the fact I barely had no muscle or fat, essentially I was a skeleton with skin.
I could feel my smile grow, glad to hear someone was concerned about me, [That doesn't matter, I don't fight fair.] I typed with a sense of false pride, [I want to save everyone hear, if you try to kill I will stop you...] my gaze then shifted to Sakura, [And if someone tries to kill you, I will stop them.] Sakura's eyes widened, I just smiled before looking back to my E-Handbook, [Neither of you need worry about a murderer in our midst, just exercise caution, I won't always be able to watch your backs after all.]
Hina smiled, "Thanks Jane, i'll watch your back too!"
With this stated we both looked towards Sakura, who was recovering from my stunning words. Eventually a small smile came to her face, "I will watch your back as well."
I smiled with a nod, "Okay, so Jane, what kind of guy do you like!" If I was drinking anything it would have shot out my mouth from shock and surprise, I could feel my face heating up.
I frantically typed, [Why would that be important, we're trapped in a school with murderous intent!?] I typed.
Hina still wore a determined expression, "That's EXACTLY why it's important, come on, you said you'd answer my questions!"
I sighed as I waved a goodbye to Hina and Sakura, I managed to dance around her more personal questions and debunk some of the more common American stereotypes, Sakura would occasionally ask a question here and there after she learned I had a jogging routine.
As I started walking back in the direction of my room I could feel the frown on my face, *Why does Girl Talk have to be so damned dangerous, and why does it have to come up now of all times?* I wondered to myself, I looked around until I spotted a clock, *Hmm...Thanks to my early start I still have some time...I wonder if anyone else is free?*
I began wandering the halls, Makoto and Sayaka were out of the question, both of them would be spending the whole day together because apparently Makoto had that effect on people...That or he just took his sweet ass time...Eventually I spotted Hifumi...I frowned with my entire existence, I didn't hate him personally, I hated how he apparently represented Fanfic Authors according to certain Youtubers, who I unsubscribed from after hearing.
I approached, trying my best to keep a neutral face, [Yo, Hifumi.] I typed, the fat, gopher-faced author turned to face me, I wasn't too sure how to label his expression.
"Hmm..." he seemed to be thinking about something, I froze in my tracks and stared at him, "That shirt...I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT CREATURE BEFORE!" He shouted, pointing at the Primal Groudon.
I recoiled at the gesture, eventually I recovered and pointed at it, [It's Primal Groudon, the ultimate epitaph of the Sun, it's presence on the battlefield creates a Drought so powerful that Water attacks lose all effect.] I stated with pride, happy to represent my Favorite Legendary Pokemon, [The mighty Groudon is so Powerful it is called the Master of Land, it will utterly destroy it's competition with it's divine heat!] I could feel my inner Fangirl taking over, I should probably shut up, [ALL HAIL GROUDON, LAND WILL DEFEAT SEA!] I typed, my arms raised into the air.
...Dammit Fan-Jane! Hifumi stared at me blankly, I could feel my arms drop back to my sides.
After what felt like hours passed Hifumi chuckled before pointing at me, "It would appear that Jane-chan has a devotion so powerful that she transforms into an absolute fangirl!" He started rubbing his chin, "Hmm, yes, that's very interesting information indeed, an American Otaku representing an unknown fan base, I could use this somehow."
I stared blankly at him, blinking a couple of times, [Wanna hang out?] the bluntness of the question seemed to take him off guard.
Eventually he smiled, "Very well, as a fellow Otaku you must be well-versed in the world of 2D so let's talk about what's truly important."
A small smile graced my expression, [Yes, cute girls with inhuman skill and weapons, men that are completely oblivious towards feminine affection, and making digital creatures fight to the point of exhaustion for our own amusement.]
I waved farewell to Hifumi, it was good to have a fellow nerd to talk to.
I looked at the nearest clock and discovered it was almost Nighttime, I sighed to myself as I turned towards the dorm rooms. I passed Makoto, exchanging a wave with a nod, before returning to my room.
I immediately locked the door, walked straight to my bed, flopped onto it, and turned out the lights.
*Well, at least I got some free time...* I thought to myself, *But...I should REALLY suppress my inner Fangirl...* I thought, my face red with embarrassment.
And we have started up the plan 'Become friends with others to talk them out of Murder'! Hopefully that's not just a name and can become true. :I
Anyway, that's all for now, I hope see you in the next chapter. :D
Nagito:*Jumps out of trashcan beside my work desk*Hey Jane, I found another way in! :D
Jane:*Stares at Nagito before blowing a whistle*
Alsmire:*Stuffs Nagito back in, seals the bag, and lifts it over shoulder*Silly Nagito, trash belongs in the dumpster... -_-
Jane:Thanks Bro! :D
