Boredom came over like every other day as Jecker sat feeding his bugs. There was nothing like a beautiful tarantula hiding anywhere on the second floor, so he had to do with two box elder bugs and a caterpillar. He was happy he could find some edible food for his new pets, but nothing exciting ever happened with them. Unlike many of his other bugs, they simply sat and eat. When he first found them, he got an impression that they were dead. Not once did they move, but the moment he placed a single green leaf in front of the caterpillar, it went sprinting to its meal.

He looked at the clock, the time being a little past two in the afternoon. He realized he himself hadn't eaten since five that morning, and figured it was about time to eat. Jecker stood up from his desk and went to his closet. Upon opening it, it was full of spare cloths, all of which were exactly the same has his. He pushed back the cloths, to reach the back of his closet, in which there was, his stash of food.

The food was slowly going bad; he would have to get some more soon. Jecker picked up a banana. He unpeeled it, revealing a bruised, brown mush.

"It seems I'll have to get food sooner than I thought," he said as he threw the banana towards the trashcan in his room.

Creeping out of his room, Jecker looked to see if anyone was around. To his luck no one was nearby. He walked through the hallway, noticing the lights in Linnie's room to be on.

He walked over, and to his surprise, the door was open. He peaked through to find Hikari, cleaning. He laughed at the matter, but it came out more so like a giggle. Hikari was cleaning, but not only that, investigating. He found her to be clever, she must have been searching for weaknesses, and no doubt she would be planning a murder soon. At least, he thought. Jecker stopped for a moment to contemplate how she could even get into the rooms.

He heard a voice, and turned to see Kim, Sahiye, and Kaede. Thinking on his feet, he ran off, not before instinctively muttering "Crap."

Yet again, he found himself in his room. After a good half-hour of doing nothing, the monitor in his room lit up.

"Attention, please. Attention, please," Monokuma said. He cleared his voice. "Now that I have your attention… Report to the gymnasium immediately! Emergency! Emergency!"

Jecker was the last one to arrive. No doubt about it, they were being given a motive, but the timing was strange. The motive had to be important.

Monokuma popped up onto the stage, standing on the podium.

"That trial yesterday was exciting! It got my adrenaline flowing! It would be a shame if we had to wait any longer, so allow me to present the next motive!" Fear took the eyes of most in the crowd. It was going to happen again. More people had to die to satisfy this dictator they found themselves living under. Jecker didn't care, so long as it wasn't him.

"Tomorrow, a terrible disease will spread! I can't say much about it, though. That'll ruin the motive!" He brought his paws to his mouth, laughing. "You'll all run around like crazy hoping to not catch it!"

Jecker bit his lip. He surely wouldn't get passed the disease if he caught it.

"This is insanity, how is this even a motive?! I'm sure you're just making a terrible excuse to watch us all die a slow, painful death!" Pavvy shouted

"Ehhh? Watching a painful death is fun and all, but what I wanna see is the strong preying on the weak! Just imagine how defenseless these people would be, stuck in a bed. Plus, it'll be easy to sneak around and hide evidence. You should be thanking be for what a wonderful motive I'm giving you!" Monokuma jumped down from the stage, and disappeared into the very vent Levi was hiding in that first day.

Commotion was an understatement for the crowd. It was the first day all over again. Only this time, people ran into their groups, leaving Tara and Jecker center stage, standing alone.

Jecker sighed, and walked out of the room.

"You're all idiots," He heard Tara said, following him out.

Hello! I will be posting the next chapter later this evening, and maybe we'll even get to the murder by tomorrow morning. Who knows? Anyway, the poll-guess-thing is still open, I will be closing it later probably tomorrow. I'm giving you all these chapters because I'm currently working on a huge writing project this month, so there probably won't be much more from me until december after this nice little rush.
