The doors to the library slid open, the scenery just the same as it was in the game. Linnie's eyes widened in awe. Alois shrugged his shoulds as he walked over to the table and took note of the objects place on it.
Mellie saw that his expression quickly changed from curiosity to a very grim one, full of fear.
"What is it?" Mellie asked lightly, walking over to him. Linnie instantly turned around and ran to them.
"Is that... What I think it is?" Linnie teased. Mellie was watching in confusion, trying to pick up what was happening.
Alois jumped back, shoving what appeared to be a hammer of sorts behind his back.
"O-of course not, why would something like that be here?" He laughed nervously. Linnie grabbed him by the shoulders and spun him one-hundred and eighty degrees and quickly snatched the object from his hands.
"Squeaky hammer!" She yelled, presenting the object as she through her arm in the air. Alois ran to Mellie, dropping on his knees, placing his hands on her shoulders and shaking her.
"We're all doomed! Mellie! You've gotta run out of here! Far, far away!" Mellie laughed as Alois continued to stammer on, only the get whacked in the side of the head by Linnie, using her new-found squeaky hammer.
Alois jokingly fell to the ground, pretending to be dead. Mellie laughed harder as Linnie continued to attack Alois. Before she knew it, all three of them were laughing, louder and louder, only to be interrupted by Hikari, who quickly jumped in the room.
"If you aren't going to properly investigate the library, I recommend you find somewhere else to search. I would very much enjoy investigating this room far more than this boring hallway."
As quickly as the three had started laughing, they found themselves stuck searching the locker rooms.
"I thought Kitsu and Derrick were doing these rooms," Mellie sighed.
"It sure is a shame when people don't do their work, now we don't get to torture Alois anymore," Linnie mumbled.
Opening every locker and looking for something useful, they only assumed Alois was doing the same in the boy's locker room.
Mellie shut the final locker of the half she took.
"Nothing."
"Same," Linnie sat on a nearby bench, pulling out her ElectroiD. "Huh? The rule about lending ElectroiDs isn't here."
"Strange... Well, nobody's pointed it out yet, have they?" Mellie sat next to Linnie
"Well, no, I just always imagined that if anything, we're trapped here after the game finished."
"Oh, well maybe we're in the same timeline, like we're just taking the place of Naegi and the others."
Monokuma popped out of nowhere, causing both to jump up and back.
"Upupupu! You guys can't have all the fun! Save solving mysteries for the class trial! Besides don't go solving mysteries before you have any evidence!" With that he dispeared, leaving Linnie and Mellie in silence.
After a few minutes, Linnie began to walk to the door, grabbing Mellie's hand.
"C'mon, let's go do something fun! We've already finished investigating this room!" Linnie opened the door, to find Alois standing outside.
"It's about time. That Jecker creep kept trying to get in or watch you or something," Alois sighed and lead them to the stairs.
"What do we do now? We've basically been kicked out of the library and the gyms only took literally five minutes to investigate," Alois stated as he leaped down the stairs.
"You're quite energetic when you're being a downer, y'know," Linnie whispered.
Mellie giggled and joined Alois in gleefully leaping down the stairs.
"You need to keep you're spirits up when you're trapped in a place like this!" Mellie remarked, laughing, and turning her head to Linnie, waiting for her to join in.
"I'm going to get to the bottom first!" Alois chirped.
"Oh yeah? Watch this!" Linnie began jumping down, clearing four stairs at a time. She reached the bottom in a good three and a half jumps.
"Hey!" Mellie laughed harder and carelessly jumped down. She reached the bottom, but was unable to stick the landing and tumbled forward. Attempting to regain balance, she began a stumbled run, wobbling as she tried to slow down.
An unfortunate Tara walked in her path and was ran over, Mellie falling on top of her.
"Watch where you're going, bitch," Tara spat as she pushed Mellie off of her and to the side. "Look at who all is here!" Her sudden change in tone attracted more people into the hallway. Kaede, Kim, Sahiye stared from the top of the stairwell, Derrick poked his head around the corner.
"We've got the annoying father, the stupid mother, and the annoyingly stupid crybaby," Tara remarked.
Alois, annoyed and angry ran over to Mellie and picked her off the ground. Linnie joined them and grabbed Mellie, hugging her.
"You will not talk about me that way. More importantly, you will not talk about my friends that way," he scolded as he shoved his pointed index finger in her face. Tara stood there, unsure of what to say. A groan came out of her mouth.
Mellie, holding back tears in her eyes, was being squeezed by Linnie.
"See, what did I say? Crybaby. A crybaby who can't live without a mother. You need to be held by the hand everywhere you go."
"S-shut up!" A stutter came from above. Sahiye, eyes fierce, but containing tears, made eyecontact with Tara. "Just because she likes having a mother-figure around, she's a crybaby? At..." Sahiye appeared to be at a loss of words trying to support her claim. "At... At least she can make friends!"
"Ooo, we have two little crybabies. Well, tell you what?" Tara paused. "If you can make it out of here, then you can cry all the way home to your mommy!"
A sob came from Sahiye as she ran off. Kim quickly chased after her with Kaede close behind.
Tara laughed and walked off toward the dorms, whispering "crybaby" as she passed Mellie.
Alone in her room, Mellie twiddled her thumbs, rethinking the afternoon. Her door slid open as Linnie popped in, shutting the door behind her.
"You really shouldn't leave the door open behind you, someone might kill you."
In any normal circumstance, that remark would've been taken as a joke, but that wasn't a normal circumstance they were stuck in.
"Oh well. Wouldn't that make someone happy though, getting a chance to escape?"
"Don't say that. If anyone kills you, I'm going to kill them myself, no monobear-issued execution required," Linnie said, attempting to laugh. A fake smile grew on Mellie's face. "I know, not funny."
"No! It's funny!"
"What are your talking about? All death jokes are unfunny here."
"What did we even do to end up here?"
"Maybe we were the characters in a past life and we're just forced to repeat this over and over. Ten bucks says Tara was Togami," Linnie laughed.
"Who do you bet we were?"
"I don't know... Only group of three I can think of is chishimondo. Or maybe naegirigami... Or however you say that... But then again, Tara is already Togami, so not that one."
"Maybe we're Sonia, Gundam, and Souda."
"You made it to the second game too?" Linnie asked, enthusiasm growing quickly in her voice.
"Uh... Yeah... I... Did... It was a little scary though..."
"Just imagine being forced to play after watching your best friend fall into a coma from playing the game," a shiver went down her spine as she sighed.
"Wow... I didn't know that... That... Happened... It sounds so... Creepy," Mellie gulped.
"Sorry! Don't worry about it, it's something you shouldn't wrap your mind around for too long."
"O-okay," Mellie side, looking down at her twiddling thumbs again.
"C'mon, let's go annoy Alois or something. We gotta do something to lighten the mood," Linnie smiled and grabbed Mellie's arm. Mellie nodded and stood up, following behind Linnie.
