Danganronpa The Twilight of Autumn Springs Academy Chapter two:
Venus, Mars and the Unknown Daily life
Day 4 Time 7am
Ding-Dong-Ding-Dong, Dong-Ding-Ding-Dong
"Good morning everyone its 7am time to rise and shine… That means night time is officially over! Have a BON BON DAY!"
Ughhh I don't know how much more of this I can handle. Aside from Monobunny's peppy and evil voice, I am still trying to recover from Kokoro's and Keiko's cruel death… But whining and crying shall not…assist in our recovery… So for their sakes who died trying to protect us and died trying to prevent a friend's death, I need to persevere and carry on.
I got up and walked inside the dining hall. As soon as I entered… Everyone surviving looked at me…well almost everyone.. Kazuki was drinking a cup of rainbow blended coffee…
"Good horning Hayate~" Hibiki said somewhat flirtingly… which was rather unusual for him at the least
"Gooood MORNING BUN BUNS!"
Yuri screeched as Monobunny's head just randomly popped up in the dinning hall. Everyone minus the aloof and arrogant gave the monochromatic bunny a scornful look even and especially myself. None of us were even close to forgetting the deaths of our friends and surely enough. Its fair to assume none of this mayhem is over.
"What da hell you want you" Kazue scowled
"What is wrong, buns buns…? All of you are looking like sour lemons.. Come on today should be a fun sun day!"
"Robot scum were all mad cause you killed our friends and sent them to mother nature before their time!" Jurou yelled
"Oh, that?" Monobunny asked
"DUH! What else reason is there to befriend a psycho like you!" Yuri chirped up "The vampires are mad you obviously. Vampires drink fresh blood and with the victims consent!"
Naomi nodded "Yeah…and the butterfly yoyos agree too!"
"Before anyone else says something irrelevant or idiotic, I reckon I should ask, what is our next motivational objective…?" Kazuki scofted
Moe and Taichi incredulously looked at the ultimate elite and even myself… and intuitively, I seen what anstonished us…
Kazuki wore a look of solemnness and calm… pleased and mute..The look on his face painted an insanity not noticeable to the naked eye, in fact something even worse as if he was enjoying this… "What do you mean by task, friend?" Moe asked
"I refer to the motive of this killing game, of course" Kazuki said getting straight to the point holding do bars
"No worries Mr. Kazuki Goda! The motive is coming but not right now~! But please expect the motive later tonight though, bun buns~! But in the meantime, I wanted to give all of you something and tell you something very important!"
"YOU. Thou shalt be permitted to hold a conference with us…! Hohhoho now SPEAK!" Taichi ordered
"This cant…be…happening" Shiori said, embarrassed at how Taichi is acting
"MUTE" Hikaru shouted through her laptop..
"Um…sir..what is it…you…would like…from….us?" Hoshi asked timidly.
"I would like your undivided attention! Now… everytime you clear a class trial, the school gradually expands and new locations that were previously blocked before becomes accessible for your glorious student life!"
"I have no idea if I should thank you, or hate you…" confessed Yuri whose mind was still traumatized by the deaths of Kokoro and Keiko…
"And due to yesterday's drama, I decided to bestow upon you buddies of mine your own room keys…! Each of you will have your own room keys from now on! But please bun buns make sure you don't lose them!"
Monobunny gave all of us a key. The keys were small and gold and chained to a small rectangular block of wood resembling a hall pass of sorts. I looked at it… It had the first letter of my first name and my entire last name inscribed on the wooden part.
"Well, bun buns you should still enjoy your life here after all, after THIS motive I am going to present to you tonight, I am sure you guys would not last the rest of the week.. Seriously of all of the motives that I planned, this might be my favorite! Bon bons and away!" said Mononbunny as he disappeared from the dining room"
Kazuki stood up his from his seat and left the cup of coffee that he was drinking at the table he was at, and crossed his arms "Now, if any of you need me….please lobotomize the memory of my existence from your feeble and incapable minds…" Kazuki accosted to the students as he strode through the double doors exiting the dining hall before any of us could even say anything.
"What the hell is this royal highness dareth speak of!?" exclaimed in a jarred expression Taichi "Well needlessly to say we naught worry of the pitying party of vanity! For I shall deliver ignite the next crusade of the campus! Now on to rejoice and jaunt towards the next level of the castle! Milady Shiori! On to the next level! Come and join us, royal maid of the round table!" Invite in a cheerful but surprisingly forceful tone to Moe who bowed in compliance. Shiori rolled her eyes
"I….guess…" Shiori commented as the trio left the dining hall and off to the second floor.
Kazue slapped her face, obviously annoyed "Great, well without two of the smartest people alive, I guess its up ta big sis and…"
"Her loyal vampire guardian!" Yuri yelled passionately as her backpack slowly start to sprout claret bat wings that looked as if they were stained in blood and or wine. "Tee hee, presenting my newest invention, the vampire wings! These highly developed wing created from sanguine nanobiotic technology are able to fly up to 900 feet in altitude and fly at the speed of 350 mph!"
"Ugh, Yuri…..? I don't think we need all of that…" Kazue said as she grabbed the right wing of Yuri's invention and dragged her out of the dining room with the protests of Yuri…
"Alrighty! Big Ursa and Little Ursa!" Hibiki said enthusiastically "We are going to venture away!"
Without any prompt or warning, the large towering man gruffly lifted both Hoshi and Hibiki out of the dining hall and left to investigate the second floor.
"Forget those weedlings! I gonna do whatever I want! Wanna join, Naomi and Hikaru! OF COURSE MY ROSE AND VIOLET!" Jurou roared, charging out of the dining hall with Naomi and Hikaru following him
"And I guess that leave-" I began to say until I released..Junko already left… Sigh, I supposed I should've expected such from her anyway… It is not like she is sociable anyway despite her being an extrovert… and after the murder of Kokoro and Keiko..both of which advocated safety and security only to betray their own values…It would not surprise me if everyone was beginning to distrust one another.
Leaving the dining hall, I decided to first pay the respect of the dead…I walked to the dormitories and walked to Kokoro's door and looked at her portrait sprite and I prayed (Kokoro Ueda, You were the first friend that I made here… Even though you betrayed me….I understand now your motives were although hidden but noble… If only you could've trusted us more…..)
I felt tears bolstering from my pupils but this was no time to cry…at least not now….Next I turn to Keiko's door and look at her sprite…(Keiko Yukimura…. You were weird and definitely anti social for the most part… but the amount of passion and soul you embroiled your art and lifestyle in….Is an inspiration I'll never forget.)
Holding these two people….in my memory…. I suddenly felt as flash of heat in me…. A flash of pale pink and indigo lights entered my soul…and my E-Planner lit up… I checked by E-planner and I checked under my name…and there was a new tab…skills…Wait…so these eplanner truly do accommodate to our talents…? I check under skills and I see two…one that reads…Supreme Scoop….that reads "an ability bestowed by Kokoro…. Automatically spots the correct weak point during non stop debate…" and another… Avant Garde that reads "an ability bestowed by Keiko… can see the images missing in Canvas Curation." These are psychic abilities…based on my class mates…? Wait… does everyone else know about-
"NOPE!" Monobunny said appearing beside me "This is a new function on the E-Planner I set to download later today! Yours is presently a prototype! How does it feel… Man!? HAHAHAHAHA! Bunny Funny!" Monobunny giggled as he hopped away and teleported away…"If this is a gift from Monobunny… then surely nothing is good regarding this.
Not wishing to ponder on the sociopathic rabbit's parting words, I hurried to the second floor. And it looked over all pretty nice… I noticed the two classrooms 2A and 2B….. then the next room I entered was the Master Library… The library here was far larger than the culinary library next to the dinning hall… Inside I saw Kazuki who was reading a massive text book in a loaf chair… He gave a kurt glare of disapproval towards me… before I left…
Next the room I saw then was something called the Speech and Linguistic Seminary Room. It was the size of a normal library combined with that of an average sized gym…Inside was Hoshi and Takuma watching Hibiki run around ecstatic and euphoric… being a religious expert, I am certain he is more than pleased….
After leaving the Seminary Room I was met with a mildly energetic Naomi who dragged me to the glassworks studio. The studio was a little big according to Naomi, but still had supplies to meld and form many kinds of glass products…. And next to it…was the Graphic Arts lab… Naomi also dragged me there. Kazue and Yuri already were on the desktop creating blueprints..Naomi hurriedly joined the two before I departed
A master library, a seminary room, a studio and a lab…This seems more…of a studious floor than the last so far… which later was the reason I wasn't surprised to see a music room which might as well should have been an ampitheatre. The size of the room was startlingly to witness… Jurou and Hikaru were both here… Jurou seemed to have been interested in more of the wooden instruments while Hikaru finally managed to hack the electronic instruments as she admitted isn't a dexterous musician.
Finally I managed to find a small room with two locker rooms,…. Shiori and Moe were talking while Taichi grabbed me by the shoulders and threw in the air and joyously caught me..
"AHAHAH Good MAN HAYATE! FOR NOW WE CAN BATHE IN THE POOLS OF SIRENS!"
"The pools of sirens? What are you going on about…?"
"Ugh please ignore him…" Shiori sighed "He is basically too excited about the pool…typical non fictional non LGBTQ character….
"HEY!" growled "I'm not an idiot! I expect not to indulge in the pleasure of the flesh here! Especially seeing the giant Gatling Gun above the locker rooms! I'm no imbecile!"
Surely enough I looked above and was overwhelmed by the sight of the defense weapon… Monobunny appeared laughing "Uh uh…Buns Buns! Sorry buns, but no one can be a pervert here…You see we teachers care for our students and public sex, is a NO NO! Bunny!"
"SEX!?" Moe yelped "My word…. We weren't discussing-"
"You DO realize I have over 9000 cameras in the school all for a REASON" Snarked plainly Monobunny which seemed to irk Moe of all people…Something rare to witness "Anyway, in order to enter the pool you have to go through the male or female locker rooms which is based on your E-Planner Gender! All you do is scan the Planner over the LED reader and poof! If the gender reader identifies a contradiction…then boom boom BBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!" Pointing at the Gatling gun… Oh and NEW RULE BON BONS! No lending your E-Planner!" All of us received an email of the new rule…
"Hey, Mono.." Shiori asked
"Yes Mint CC?" Monobunny asked
"Why use a BFG and will you prevent rape and sexual assaults here? If you are so anti sex?"
"Nope" gleefully answered the evil Rabbit "Well its possibly to KILL via sex, right? So yay! JUST NOT IN THE LOCKERROOMS! Do we want to make a movie called Mojuno and the Toliet child? Bye Bye Bons!"
With a natural habit of freaking everyone out, Monobunny left through a random ninja rope that fell from the ceiling and climbed away, pulling up the rope instantly…
"Forgive me..." Moe said holding her mouth "I feel as if I may be sick"
"No worries…" Shiori assured her "Me and Tai will take you back to the dining hall"
"Onwards to the feast halls of Beowulf!" Taichi caroled passionately zooming the ladies out of the pool enterance…. I walked to through the male's locker room and then took a quick peak at the pool before I leaving….
I left the pool and then I saw the final room… The Pharmacy and Nursing station… Inside was a silent Junko who was looking at all of the medicine and medical supplies. As well as poisons and antidotes.. Feeling exhausted…We decided to head back to the dining hall
At the dining hall all of us discussed our finding of the second floor. Shiori confirmed to everyone that escape from the windows also was impossible. All we could say is the rooms were very industrious and busy… Felt like a real school now… Thinking back to Mono Bunny's words about the handbooks…I wonder if I should tell the others about the handbooks…perhaps I should
"Oh, by the way, Monobunny approached me…and he mentioned to me something" I then explained how our E-Planners were being updated and customized to accommodate to our talents…
"Accommodate our talents!? Ha that is RICH why would he want that!?"
"Obviously so that we can construct and craftm high quality and deluxe methods of murders" Kazuki said darkly prompting many looks of shock and ire…..
"Why…are..you bringing that up!?" Hoshi shouted timidly
"THIS is the stage we are performing on…fools" Kazuki said flipping his long colorful hair dramatically revealing a look of total scorn, lack of empathy and narcissism more insane and oddly beautifully tranquil… Like a sexy fallen angel model… Devoid of warmth or humanity and full of vanity…Superior to the extent that inferiority or any genre is unacknowledgable "After all, it's a game…where one one can be the heroic survivor and slay the mastermind"
"YOU ARE FREAKING NUTS!" Kazue charged directly at him…. Kazuki smug and arrogant….was unconcerned… That is when suddenly…
"IDIOT!" Junko rushed over in between Kazue who was getting ready to slug Kazuki in the face…when Junko side kicked Kazue in the stomach and disarmed something from Kazuki's hand that fell in the middle of the floor….which startled all of us… A… knife
"What the fuck?" Kazue said
"Are you this flabbergasted?" questioned mockingly Kazuki "Perhaps this may be new to you… but I have no intent to die here….and so… allow this to be an unwavering warning…. Any of you or all of you will die….I shall deliver one of you to heaven and send the rest of you to hell…And that will be me alone! I shall rise to the heavens and rule it with a throne of might and grace! For I am Kazuki Goda…the ultimate elite!"
Laughing manically…He swished out of the dining hall…Leaving behind the gift he given us….an anxiety that poisoned us…forcing us to realize that any one of us could die….and that no one was truly safe…
"Great, just GREAT!" Kazue howled "That bastard has gotta be kidding me!"
"Yah know…He might have a point that psycho" Hibiki said lazily
" ?" Hoshi uttered but Hibiki gave a scathing look at Hoshi "UGH SOMEONE IS GONNA DIE PROBABLY! BECAUSE OF HIM…DUH! I don't get why you all are so surprised! I mean come on…Keiko killed Kokoro..BIG PLOT TWIST… But, I'll make sure the great HIBIKI HIMURA will surive!"
"Probability of survival based on statement…Unmeasurable…Caution is recommended" Hikaru replied to Hibiki who just stormed off looking at Hoshi with a look of bitterness before leaving the dining hall
With the amount of distrust filling up the ambiance we decided to depart…I was in my room but I felt bored….Maybe I should decide to spend time with someone before the motive of death. I left and went to the master library where I saw Hibiki
"Ummm Hello Hibiki"
"Yooooo Hayate! What is up my sexy gay vampire… HAHAHA JK whats up?"
"Would you like to hang out?"
"HHHmmmmm I guess!"
For hours I attempted to get Hibiki to stop sexually harassing me…. And we got closer
Hibiki now was jumping for joy "SOooo Hayate what do you think of my talent!"
"Your talent?"
"OF COURSE! I am the shining and handsome prince of the religious spectrum! So, am I attractive, or flashy!?"
"You seem to already have an exalted view of your confidence Hibiki…why need my opinion?"
"DUH! Because you are an ULTIMATE PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR!"
"Well.. for someone that is a religious expert..you seem…sort of….perverted"
"A pervert!? HEY THAT'S NOT NICE!"
"But aren't you…"
"Well I am sexually liberal NOT a pervert!" Hibiki said correcting me "Some religions have negative views about sexuality but some of it is just religious colonization. Major continents colonizing lower countries and forcing them to conform to their religious norms and eventually expand that to crazy laws even if the laws contradict the country's original culture"
"But isn't that unfair?"
"OF COURSE! I live my life to express my passion and pleasures of the world…women…and maybe men….sometimes HIBIKIS!"
I have to say, Hibiki for the perverted individual he seems to be and probably is, he seems a lot more deep that he is…And has some philosophical reasoning behind some of his actions….Although….he still seems…flamboyant and grandiose which feels more ingenuine….
After Hibiki started to act awkward…I escaped and went back to my dorm room
Later I heard the school bell ring… "This is a school announcement! Before nighttime approaches please come to the gymnasium…for the long awaited motive! Bon bon BOOOOOONS"
As the monitor turned off a feeling of anxiety swept over me…Spiders of despair were crawling over my spine with their cool legs that induced a sensation of frostbite tingling whatever they touched.. This motive if anything like the last was going to be crazy…
Reluctantly we all approached the gym where Monobunny appeared
"HI Buns BUNS! Today is the day or night that WEEE…"
Kazuki cut to the chase "Just tell us the new motive if you will please?"
"Seriously there is something wrong with you." Shiori said to the obnoxious Kazuki "Wanting to know a motive to commit murder? Yeah very sane sounding to me.
"The feeling is mutual…commoners of man" Shrugged Kazuki, softly laughing
"WTFH IS WITH YOU!? You are a REAL NUTCASE! THINKING THIS SHIT IS FUNNY!? I AM LAUGHING THAT YOUR DUMB ASS THINKS THAT AHAHAHAHHA!" Jurou sneered happily "Kindly move out of my path, you unnatural city hugger!"
"Will everyone just shut the fuck up?" Junko commanded "Now…the motive" Junko demmanded giving the bunny a death glare
"Well…without further ado….is the next motive!"
Suddenly gas starts exiting from the speakers and vents filling us all up in the fumes…Everyone started to cough heavily until the gas cleared up and at that point everyone was startled confounded of this motive.
"Plllleease….love me… LOVE ME KOKORO.. BEYOND THE GRAVE!"
"First paint can be a murder weapon and NOW GAS IS A MOTIVE-wait….everyone…you agree…right…? You guys….are feeling safe…right!? With me….helping..you guys….." Kazue asked hazily
Yuri trembled and started to cling on Kazue's leg "Of-of course Kazue! I'll always…. Feel safe around you…just…PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!"
"What….the hell…am…I….enough?" Shiori questioned "No…. I am not….like….you…..all...Im better..I am an advocate of fictional characters FICTIONAL LGBT CHARACTERS! I'm not nonfiction…"
"The grace of god or the devil shall not leave me into temptation! No one….shall tempt me to these falsehoods! I shall stand alone!" Takuma shouted suddenly punching Hoshi away from him in the chest….
"FUCK THAT!" Hibiki yelled "I'm the…great….HIBIKI! I AM THE RELIGIOUS genius…that out flashes all! HAHAHAHAHAHA"
"No… Something…..IS AMISS…"Taichi slurred "We… I… Cant I need…. Wine….Sex…FOOd…happiness..NAUGHT BLOODSHED NO BLOODSHED NO BLOOODSHED!"
"Why is this happening to me?" Cried Hoshi "I'm a good person! WHY AM I HERE SUFFERING…WHATS GOING ONNNNNN!?" Screeched Hoshi
"Everyone…please calm DOWN! ALL OF US CALM DOWN LETS HOLDS HANDS AND SING THE HAPPY AND PEACE SONG JOIN ME JOIN ME LALALALALA!" Moe euphorically mumbled
Not even Kazuki was immune to this awkwardness "IMPOSSIBLE THIS IS THE MOTIVE! I NEVER FAIL I NEVER WILL FAIL I WILL BE VICTOR I WILL NOT BE A LOSER OR SCUM!
Jurou cackled "AHAHAHAHHA TOO SMOOOTH EVERYONES CrazY! I WONT I AM THE LORD OF PLANTS! NO ONE WILL KILL ME!"
Hikaru statically spoke in a tandum "Knowledge Needed to ADVANCE…MOTIVE…ACCESSS MOTIVE…..ACCESSS MOTIVE…ERROR ERROR! NEDD MORE INFORMATION AND INTELLL NEDD MORE MORE!"
Naomi cried "YOYOYOYO….. PLEASE NO Jump ropes…no pain…no kill kill NO KILLLING PLEASE NOT ME!"
"Da-damn…" Junko stumbled "Mot-motive….Is- fear….GAS! I Wont…Fall…I CANT FALL HERE!"
"Why!" I started to think of how I failed to protect Kokoro and how I sentenced Keiko to death.. Now… Everyone's bodied will fall on top of me…and their souls will sing how its….my fault… No no no "NO!"
"Bon Bons! HAHAHHA the Motive this time is fear! I have released the fear gas through out the school! And until a murder happens" Monobunny voiced dropped deeply "THIS GAS WILL PERSIST FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK! Every day I will change when the gas is distributed…. 7am to 3pm…. 3pm to 11pm or 11pm to 7am. NOW it is 10 and now its nighttime, The Dining hall will lock and entry beyond that point is strictly prohibited NOW GOODNIGHT SLEEP TIGHT DON'T LET THE DEMONS IN YOUR CLOSETS BITE!"
"What…the..hell! NO NO NO!I WILL OVERCOME THIS!" Kazue seethed forcefully hugging Yuri "I WILL HELP AND PROTECT YURI! NO ONE BETTER TOUCH HER OR ANYONE OR I WILL KILL HIM AND MYSELF!"
"NO! PLEASE DON'T! IF YOU DO..THEN I'LL COMMIT SUICIDE WITH YOU!" Yuri gigged sweetly in a psychotic way that was reminiscent of a yandere time traveler in love….
No..I have…to…calm…down…everyone's aura is jaundiced meaning fear…I should…calm..down….but… I cant…..
Junko and everyone rushed out the gym….even me…with suspicion behind our backs…..we fled to our rooms and went to bed.
Day 5 Time 7am
I woke up from my slumber…which kept alternating as I was ridden with the nightmares of my classmates corpses…. But as I awakened… I felt…back to normal…. Until…"This is a school announcement its 7am good morning! That means night time is over…ALSO be aware that the FEAR GAS MOTIVE STILL IS IN EFFECT but inactive until 3pm where the gas will active from 3pm to 11pm…. Now happy a bon bon day…..
"No way that this is happening…AGAIN!" I shouted to myself… I got up and walked to the dining hall.
When I walked inside the dining hall… not even wanted to eat or sleep…I just want to die now…I plopped down on the closest seat near me…. No one was really interested in talking however…Moe seeing all of this raised her voice
"Everyone! All of you look tired… Please try to calm down!"
"Forgive me…Sister Moe Moto. But none of us can be calm especially after we submitted to our anxieties and….." Takuma looked remorsefully at Hoshi who was still clutching his stomach from his attack yesterday "Committing unforgivable acts of deadly sins in the process…"
"Monobunny's motive and Kazuki Goda's presence also alters the optimism in the social network"
"Well everyone hold on" Moe skipped into the kitchen everyone in the dining hall was confused wondering what she was doing inside about 30 minutes later…she came back pushing a cart of 14 dishes
Coming out of the kitchen, Moe was pushing out 13 carts each of them assigned with our names. All of us scurried and grabbed our respective carts… Mouths were watering in delight and we sunk our teeth in our meal.. Forgetting about the horrors and despair… just enjoying our meals in peace….
"This food is rather delicious!" Munched out Taichi…. Moe looked at him and all of us with a look of concern and love…such love…is enviable…. We still did not care. This feast may be transient but for all and what it was worth, I could not be any happier.
After we all at we all spit up to do our own thing. But the time limit for the fear gas release was not going to happen for another few hours so I should have enough time to hang out with someone… thinking back to yesterday… I wonder if not ponder if I should hang out with… Taichi?
"Greeting young child. What have brought thee to my area of training?" Taichi asked
I was inside the dojo, figuring that Taichi would be training
"I was wondering if we could please hang out?"
"Certainly young child….For we shall begin our training!"
Although he said training, we only watching movies of old knights in the theater… After we left the theater, Taichi looked at me
"So, thee arth the one of psychic abilities?" Taichi asked
"I guess you could say that… although my psychic powers aren't really that great…?
"why does thou say such?"
"Because they are mostly random and mind taxing…"
"Ahhhhn HA!"
"What!?"
"I refer to the extrasensory perceptional sword arts …. Even witches train….just as us knights"
"Well, I would not necessarily call myself a witch, and even though I am afraid that being a knight would be impossible for a loser who could not prevent Kokoro from being murdered… but I appreciate the gesture."
"Listen young squire, we warriors are but a hair breath away from death and the only way to combat such misery is to block it all out and dive into the heat and pleasure of battle… be it words mind, heart or body. We accomplish naught should we introspect every wound inflicted upon US!" Taichi yelled "Consider this OUR FIRST TRAINING! Farwell!
Taichi called out before leaving in a hurry…. Taichi seemed to be obsessed with training and for my sake, I honestly hope that he wasn't serious about this training, but for a moment, his entire disposition changed.
Shiori was hanging out with Takuma, Hikaru, and Hoshi… All of which were still enjoying Moe's lunch…After his meal, Hoshi bowed politely
"Um….Moe…. um I don't.. mean to be so…"
"No worries at all dear…!" Moe said to him kindly, "We are all friends…all I wish is for all of us to get along…so no worries…!"
"*sniff*" Hoshi cried "Why can't I be strong enough to be a good person….. I'll never be strong and powerful like…. Takuma, Taichi and Jurou… Why cant I live up to these expectations…unable to forgive Kokoro or Keiko..I should be able to but why can I not"
"If you wish to be strong…then be strong for what you think is your ideal perception of being strong…"Shiori advised knowing all to well about power and strength and the weakness of normalcy and the LGBTQ+ fictional characters that struggled until their unique souls flared to life.
"Well said…" Takuma complimented while in the background Moe was attempting to be cheerful….as she already knew…Since the moment Takuma entered the dinning hall, Shiori had her eyes on him. Since the day, though aroused by the fear gas, Takuma slugged Hoshi in the stomach like he was a rag doll. Clearly, this was not forgotten by Takuma who figured Shiori would be mad… Hikaru watched from afar only to get video footage encase the situation became violent. So far….the billionaire and the fan girl were silently locked in a shocking glare battle of conflict while wearing a smile of amicability. Hoshi gulped timidly before surprising everyone…
"Well, Takuma..and Shiori….could I ask if you two could help me write a story…"
"What tale are you wishing to weave?" the curious Shiori asked."Prior to my answer, you have no qualms discussing the motivations and purpose behind such do you not?" Takuma asked calmly but also intimidatingly
"Its…well…nothing, just a story about a Holy Priest who travels the world sanctifying demon infested areas and the dark and mysterious pictomancer who wishes to protect the demons knowing they can be saved, the two clash constantly over their conflicting philosophies and ideals. One day they reach the main enemy, the evil hare moon archfiend and the two cease their aberrant ammount bickering and destroy the evil beast before the entire world become an living uninhabitable hell ….." Hoshi answered, in a passive aggressive way basically implying he knows that the two are at odds with one another and this activity of creativity will get them to be kind to each other.
Sighing and both not really wishing to upset the young man…both agreed…and Hikaru watched as all three of them left the dinning hall…Leaving a sad and forlorn..Moe….
"Wish I could join them!"
"Possibility of friendship between them….personality incompatibility…drops chances to 00.01%"
"MEANIE! " Shot back to Moe who burst into lonely tears while Hikaru walked to her and patted her back in comfort…
"Why don't you think you can join them?" Hikaru asked
"Well, there is so much I have to here sweetie. If I had more time to clean up the mess, wash dishes, iron clothing, prepare dinner, I just have to do as you all command, I am sure they want me to just clean and wash dishes…"
"Google Device Maid Vaccine. Evacuate Dining hall."
"Ummm Hi?"
Kazuki coldly opened the door and looked at a very uncomfortable Yuri who looked as if she did not want to be here in the master library at all. To be fair, after Kazuki cruelty, no one could trust him. Still it would be rude and more importantly unsafe to leave such a dangerous person unappeased.
"What pray tell do you want, insolent idiot girl?"
"Heh heh heh, you are like SOOOO FUNNY cream man!"
"You dare compare my eliteness to that of a mere frozen sweets deliverer, such vulgarness is beneath me" Kazuki scoffed disdainfully.
Yuri eyes wide as a cat like bat, flicked from her deadly yellow quickly to sanguine and then back "SO Moe made all of us a bunch of dishes for breakfast however you do not apparently need to-"
"I DO eat." Kazuki spat out flatly "Common sense should tell that much."
"Yeeeeaaaaah" Yuri at this point really was not liking this plan but still this plan must be completed, Yuri in lost and defeat pressed on her wrist watch. Her bag ripped open by a robotic bat that flew infront of Kazuki and to Kazuki's surprise the entire cart of food, Moe had prepared for him.
"Anyway here you goooooo!" Yuri smiled cheerfully
"This food….hmph" Kazuki opened up the first dish, and his face was emotionless and expressionless. It was a tray of royal pancakes iced with royal styled whipped cream and a cup of supreme coffee. The aroma rising from the meal was dominating, sublime even.
"Inconceivable…." Kazuki said "How intriguing…..I must say, for mere inferior beings this is most impressive..perhaps this has inspired me to show you HOW to really cook and craft inventions!" Kazuki smirked widely, Yuri shrunk in fear… okay, maybe she was not expecting to seeing a Kazuki flaring to life fueled by arrogance and flamboyance.
"YOU SERIOUSLY ARE A WEIRDO
After I spent time with Taichi… I walked downstairs to my dorm room…and suddenly I felt sick…..A scent of odorless gas wafted in my nostrils….and suddenly I felt that the fear gas was on… Not again…. I thought to myself….having to endure this gas shall be the death of me… I wondered to myself…about the fear…Sweating… and hate… ugh this is maddening! I need to get the hell out of here….quick.. Before I give in… which is in a sense already giving up…..
*rustle*
I reverse behind me walking to see an unscrupulous and anxiety ridden Hibiki whose eyes were bloodshot and bitter looking… I move backwards….What on earth is the matter with him…he looks to be gaunt and meaner in disposition…I wonder…if this look of vehemence a feeling caught by the gas… or rather something different altogether…
"WWWWEEEELLLL If it isn't the psycho freak!" Hibiki laughed scornfully
"Hibiki-Hi-Bi… This gas….what do you WANT!?" I asked raising my voice up timidly…
Hibiki paused…then covered his mouth ejecting a sickening laughter that could be heard from afar "What do I WANT? I, wanna, get outta here! HIBIKIS! And there isn't a way OUT… Sooooo maybe….." Hibiki said smirking sadistically "I oughta plummet that bitch Hoshi!"
"what on earth are you speaking of! Why kill one of your-"
"DON'T-SAY-FRIEND!" roared Hibiki "That short evil yellow midget is an evil mad man! He thinks him and TAKUMA are so good friends! MAN! Nobody EVER wants to be my ally…all because he is a shy writer! While Takumi the racoon face tall giant is so RICH and handsome what does he give a damn for!? I don't get it HIBIKI? Why does everyone else have buddies but ME!? ITS UNFAIR!"
"Uh…Hibiki why are saying silly and ignorant things such as this!? You are the ultimate religious expert! You should be aware that friendship exist in many ways… To say otherwise is FOOLISH…aside from that WE are friends…remember?"
"HA!" laughed Hibiki "No offense Hayate, but….you just don't get it! WAHHHH!"
Startling me with the most awkward tear show, Hibiki ran to his room, shutting the door immediately as he entered… I just… don't get it… why is he continuously crying… I want just about the same thing as him… to be loved…but why does he reject my friendship offer? Then again I did just abase him… however I only meant to help him…but still, would that make me wrong….maybe I should leave him alone and find someone else to har-harass….may-be….
Jurou stood with his arms crossed in the glassworks room, eying down Naomi who was creating a new design for her yoyos in the graphic art
"EEEEKKKKKK!" Yuri jumped
"!? Oh dear oh my goodness I am sorry Yurii I did not mean to scare you I was just wondering if you would be interested in hanging out with me today?"
"Ummmm…." Yuri stretched a hum…. Maybe it wa-
"Su-sure HAYATE AFTER ALL I KNOW THAT YOU'LL PROTECT ME, RIGHT!?" Yuri said as her eyes turned bright red
"Of-cours-you-st-ill car-"
"Hay-ete!" Yuri cheered acting as if she is not even effected by the fear gas "You need more meat on your bones so that your brain can be heathy!" Chastised Yuri who was pointing her index finger at me as if I was some form of criminal to be arrested by the authorities or something of the sort.
"What-arent you affected by the fear gas!?"
"Of course I am!" Yuri said "I just invented a gadget known as the fear venter, which causes me to convert fear into joy and happiness!"
If Yuri was telling the truth, I would've been elated, however, her words seem to be riddled with so many lies, I am astounded that I can bring myself to trust her. She claims to have converted her fear into joy but her overall personality is joyful. If I had to guess….
"Why are you so happy?" Hayate asked bluntly, unable to phrase an appropriate question that is without risk of being profane.
"Why? because of my invention silly!" Yuri laughed like I was asking a silly question..
"Then where is this invention?" I interrogated "If you do not have an invention-"
"Sometimes, inventions do not always have to be physical…you know"
Yuri responded coldly for once…. Her eyes looked serious for a change, and her smile not setting or faltering in its brightness…. It was not a frail kind of happiness or even a psychotic kind of happiness. It was a strength… A strength of happiness built to maintain herself when times were weak times of struggles and misery such as this..
"Don't cha know invention could be anything Mr. Vampire! From gadgets to even personalities! So yeah! But anyway" Yuri yawned heavily "I'm going to trail off to bed time now… Sorry, I saw Kazuki earlier so I could deliver his meal for Moe, but he seemed, I guess for him, happy? Well that psycho drained my life fource so I will..Talk to you later…Bye Vampy" Tired and exhausted, I watched as Yuri returned to her dorm before walking to my own.
DING-DONG-DING-DONG-DONG-DING-DING-DONG
"This is a school announcement. It is now 10pm. As such, it is night time! Soon the doors to the dinning hall will be locked and entry beyond that point is strictly prohibited! So, good night, sleep tight, and don't let the bed demons strike!"
Again with these announcements... Sometimes I contemplate how much fun he is having torturing us with these motives…The anxiety was eating me up…..I kept having nightmares…nightmares of death of more classmates as I sleep…Fear of death for others…fear of spite of Kokoro and Keiko's soul…little did I know….lurking in the shadows….was the murkiest pair of eyes….
Day 6 Time 7:30am
I woke up late…..hardly able to rest at all last night…it was a relief that the gas ventilated and expired after an hour after nighttime, otherwise I would've been unable to rest at all..and as sleeping outside of our dorm rooms is forbidden, it would have been a total nightmare.
Inside the Dining room, I was expecting to meet the ire of my classmates…except it was not that…but rather them everyone was happy… This I suppose I was not what I was anticipating…
"Um….everyone what are you doing?" I asked
Yuri was flying around the dinning hall to place gory garlands that resembled bowels and various organs then was placing eye balls of different eye colors exuding mucus on the ceiling… Naomi was holding her tablet, possibly making blueprints for the decorations that Yuri was executing. Hoshi too was assisting alongside them. Taichi was among who was helping
"YOUNG HAYATE!" Taichi yelled boisterously "WHERE WERE THEE YET! Young child to which I hold some mercy to?"
"I-was just waking up,…. What on earth is happening?"
"OH This is the feast of nightmares! One such a demonic force of journey and travel where fear dwells in the sinful dungeon swarming with infinite monsters that evokes our fears… embeded with confection!"
"What he means is" I turned around and heard Shiori's voice "I am hosting a fright night…." Shiori yawned "I cant handle the deaths of Kokoro and Keiko…so… I reckon before this motive gets someone killed, we do something that obviously would make us scared…a haunted house all over the campus…."
"But wouldn't Monobunny be against thing?" I retorted, this is not going to help…if we allow our guards to be down, someone is going to die…right? I have to do something…..
"Relax…." Kazue laxly commented
"?"
"That fear gas isn't going to bother us today..." Kazue pulled out her E-Planner "I took care of that already…or well, it shouldn't peg us until Fright Night"
"Did you rewire the vents or something?" I aksed Kazue but she didn't go into details…at all…infact before that I could get the opportunity to ask her anything else…she threaten to knock me out before saying she loved us…leaving me and Shiori who said that she was the leader of the Fright Night committee… and the staff were Yuri, Naomi, Moe, Taichi, Hoshi, Hibiki and Kazue… Kazuki downright refused to help at all, Jurou was against the idea of mythical creatures that could hurt the environment and the lack of attractive ladies and alcohol Jurou also complained about automatically caused Shiori to ban him from the event, Junko and Hikaru were busy finding clues about the killing game and Autumn Springs Academy in the computer laboratory…but Junko claimed she might come by later to evaluate the decorations… Takuma locked himself in his room… Shiori banned Takuma and was not even planning to invite him anyway to help but Hoshi convinced Shiori to at least invite him to the party.
"So… You… are going to help, I guess….right?" Shiori asked
"Ummmm"
"Cools….well I am the director…..Yuri and Naomi are the designers… Hoshi's acting as the narrator and script writer for the horror narratives…Taichi is our security guard… Hibiki is in charge of designing different non lethal and frightening traps, jumpscaring animatronics and suits… Moe is our chef and lovely maid….so I guess..you can be our scary fortune teller…"
"Um no offense but…"
"Hayate, it would be nice if you could be the fortune teller…you know?" Shiori began before suddenly her aura darkened ominously and for a split second her eyes turned blood shot red "…That…way…NONE of us….. will DIE, right?"
"Shiori…please calm down! I am not saying that I will not be the fortune teller…"
"Or should you be the teller… of your BLOOD!?" Shiori bellowed softly
"That shall not be necessary!" Whatever attempt of meaning she was conveying in her words that was not understoond by me, was definitely understood now from the bloodlust and killing intent in her aura..Nothing like this….a cold blooded fury….i've ever read in anyone before…"I forsee that fate will not allow me to not participate in this fortune telling…so I shall help you!" I said in an eerie voice of blatant falsehood mysticism which bestowed upon me the approving smile of Shiori Ito.
Shiori told me to be ready at 9pm so that we can make final preperations…feeling bored I decided to return to my room. I still have some free time before the preparations…. Even though I know and probably see herself should if not know that this is essentially baiting for a murder case to occur, I should not allow myself to dapper her mood or happiness… Something must be done about this but what can I do about the situation?
"Young Hayate." Takuma answered as he opened his door "I reckon you are intrigued to hang out with me and spend time praying."
"I reckon we could…" I answered already knowing that Takuma most likely was not paying attention
Quietly we both prayed for hours despite Takuma saying abosolutely nothing…
I have gotten I feel closer towards Takuma
"Hayate…a question of you I must ask…"
"Sure"
"are you familiar with the seven deadly sins?"
"The seven most evil sins a human could commit yes?"
"Indeed" Takuma answered "We each have a sin we commit that starts at the root of our lives. For example…what is your sin?"
"M-my sin?" I asked….I had to think about it for a while..."why so?"
"No need panic.. to get get a better grasp of your faults so that I may accommodate myself to assist you in purging your sins…"
"Purge me of my sins? Forgive me but you need naught go through all of that trouble.."
"Silence..if you will" politely commanded the ultimate billionaire. " I was once a corrupt man….mentally exalted on the materialism of avarice and lust… I built my mansion of the lustful luxuries I once had in my life.. For if naught for the lord…my soul would've been damned to hell" Takuma said. While he was talking, bloody tears slivered down his cheeks… full of remorse
"So.. for the Lord's sake… I must purified and purge the sins of those around me. Its only logical to do so…By sending souls to heaven…. Pleases the Lords which in favor resonates with my dept I must owe… No amount of money could ever repay the godly. No matter what… So Hayate Takenaka..when you are ready to confess.. please come speak with me"
Without a second word.. we both went our separate ways…
"Alright everyone…" Shiori said politely "We…are…all…going to get this…started!"
Taichi placed his right arm around her left shoulder and then raised his sword in his left hand and aimed it to the sky "Let us now commence the Fright Night!"
"Now let us all be straight with this knowledge. We are all to have fun together…well all have prepared for the event… and only 6 of us are not playing tonight… Me and Kazue who are the security guards!"
"Meh who cares about all of that?" Complained Hibiki
", Hibiki, Jurou and Takuma all of whom are banned…"
"WHAT!?" Jurou shouted "HOW CAN YOU BAN ME YOU immoral plant killer!"
"HA, MAKE ME NOT JEST YOU FOOL! YE is NOT PERMITTED IN THIS BANQUET OF INDULGENCE!"
"TAICHI! Ignore him"
"To be sincere…Its only common sense we would be banned" Takuma retorted glancing transiently at Hoshi
Upon hearing Jurou protests, Kazue pulled out a pair of brass knuckles from her pockets.
Kazue cracked them loudly
"Excuse me…!?" Kazue asked warningly causing Jurou's confidence and bravado to shrink in resolve.
"and Hayate who is acting as the fortune teller…. Hayate! Who shall now make his way to the seminary room to prepare the tarot card readings!
Following directions I left from the Gymnasium and walked to the seminary building… On my way to the seminar building I saw a bunch of weird props hanging… The carpet way was bloody and covered in chains…skulls…even organs that I could not even describle.. I finally made it to the seminary building… Everything was decorated to look like the inside of a gypsy tent and the colors were shades of blue… inside was a small circular coffee table and a deck of tarot cards.
The cards were odd and somewhat inaccurate but fun and soon everyone started to come enjoy the fun… which is when…
"All of this is really stupid"
Said Junko as she walked inside the seminary room
"Well, this..isnt..too…bad…"
"Id-idiot! I am not the one to fee-feel- fear usually! So this….making me scared by a haunted house is stupi-"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Oh my goodness… This shit AGAIN!? Come on you stupid seer!"
Junko yelled as she dragged me out of the semianry room. Everyone was freaking out except a few….We all rushed hearing the yell of Hibiki in the gymnasium. We all arrived… only to be shocked and disheartened by the sight of Hibiki pale and frightened
The gym floors was written in blood with Kokoro's and Keiko's piñata heads in a pool of red candy.. and the writing was more of a warning "Someone is going to die tonight…beware…"
"Damn it what the hell HIBIKI!?" Kazue scowled lunging her hands to the boy's throat
"What do ya MEAN!?" Asked Hibiki "I didn't write that!"
"Yeah right! I know I gave you the role of trickmaster but this stuff is like too far…."
"I didn't really write that!" Yelled Hibiki but shortly regained his calm "BUT if I did, I woulda said this was funny as hell…if we weren't in this mad house…"
Boldly and unexpectingly Takuma power slapped Hibiki across the face
"WTFH HAHAHAHAHAHHA DAYUM!" Jurou laughed but was silenced with the fearsome glare Takuma gave to the timber cutter… I never…seen his true rage…not ever
"You loathsome scoundrel and horrible excuse of the title Ultimate Religious Expert. Your sinfulness is exhibited too boldly… It is no wonder how easily you fell to envy…. The jealousy is ugly…nothing disgustingly creative about this is humorous. THAT HEDIONISM AND SEEKING FOR FLAMING ANGEL WINGS IS WHAT MAKES YOU THE MOST OBNOXIOUS CRETIN TO US ALL! NOW BEGONE FOUL PEASANT!"
"UgggghhhhhhgggggAh!" Hibiki started to cry angrily "YOU KNOW WHAT FUCK ALL OF YOU!" shouted the religious expert before quickly regaining his composure
"Kepp making fun of me and shit! I don't give a damn about anyone anymore! Hell I don't give a damn if if any of you die tonight! I hope and pray that someone does die and that one of you are hurt like how Hayate was when Kokoro was killed! Hibiki said snidely smirking and laughing calmly
With nothing more to say and glass basin emptied of remaining frustrations, Hibiki blazed out the room… leaving the room darker and darker than ever…
"What gives Takuma!?" Shiori shouted
"He…..why…how….dare….."
"Is this how you treated Hoshi!?" Shiori retorted cutting off his rambling fragments "I cannot believe you had to ruin this night… This is what I get… for trying to help nonfictional being…."
"ENOUGH OF THEE KNIGHTS! I may naught care too much of stark atmosphere but neither does I care to indulge in this negative wines!
"Maybe all of us….need… to calm…."Hoshi began before HE spoke
"And profoundly the reason why such an event was a stupid idea" Kazuki answered unfazed "To be frank I am disappointed that no one died…" a sweat drop manifested from his forehead that went away unnoticed
"That doesn't matter, yoyos! Who made this mess YO!?" Naomi inquired rather aggressively
"Probable likelihood… Hibiki and or Kazuki!" buzzed Hikaru
"I wouldn't put it past you Kazuki!" Yuki answered with a smile "But if you didn't you should say so now!"
"Obviously I didn't stain my hands with such gruesomeness… and if I did so…. Would that naught be some form of a lesson that you should absorb in your brains… now if you will…"
Kazuki later departed
"This is one time I am glad I wasn't invited to this impure fright night! Ha this is too funny! Impure breeders only causin more bloodshed with a death threat!
"And for once…I somewhat agree with you…." Junko affirmed with Jurou
"Oohoo…someone is trying to flirt with me…a white rose of nanobot techonology….?" Jurou said jokingly
"Shut up." Junko said pulling out her wrench and striking Jurou with it
"Everyone please calm down….! Maybe we can still hold this party!" Moe said enchantingly but…
"Sorry, Moe, but unfortunately…I'm afraid this motive along with this madness… is going to cause too much discomfort for the others…so without further ado.. the Fright Night ended in failure…." Shiori said in disappointment
Without warning the night time announcement played… Junko, Taichi, Moe, Takuma and Shiori stayed in the gymnasium to help clean up while I heaved myself along to bed….
Day 7 time ?am?
I woke up….hearing loud knocking on the door…Ugh…..why is it so loud…can we not sleep in peace….? The knocking grew louder and louder until
"SLAM!"
Upon hearing a crashing sound, I jolted up. I hurried to the door and opened up.. .Takuma looked at me sternly before saying "Where is Hoshi, Hayate?"
"Wait, Takuma!? What are you doing here what time is it!?"
I looked at my clock….my eyes widened in disbelief it was already 9am! How in the realm had we slept through the morning announcement!? But the only thing I can think of is…
"Bun bun buns! Good Afternoon everyone! I know all of you MUST be tired! But guess what buddies!? As of now, the fear motive has ended and thus, no more fear gas shall be distributed"
"One have succumbed to the motive of the fear gas! Damned sin of acedia! Hayate you shall accompany me…"
"WHAT!?" No way.. as I feared…. The haunted house was not enough to stop the murdering…. And Hoshi is missing this cant….be.. "But we do not know where to even-"
"Ah!" My head started to hurt again…only this time…. I saw…..water….blood…a nailed bat….and…a locker…..
"Oh nonononono!"
"You had a vision of the lord! Speaketh to me!" Takuma demanded
"We have to go to the pool…NOW!"
Takuma and me all charged out of the dormitory area…on our way we bumped into Shiori and Hikaru "Guys you heard already, didn't you…" Shiori said forlornly. "The fear motive has been disabled…! Have you found Hoshi yet!?"
"Move women!" Takuma rushed not wanting to hear any more of her words….It was probably if I could guess…unrooted anger towards Shiori of putting him through so much scorn and contempt…Although I couldn't really blame either one of them… their words were too harsh..
"Something is off" Takuma said as he tried to scan his E-Handbook through the male locker room door. "I cannot enter the doors to the locker room of adam… what unforeseen circumstance has fallen upon us!?"
"For this case, I have unlocked every door accessible on the first and second floor
"Um…that would mean we would have to…check the female locker room…"
"Indeed so..the moon bunny demon spoketh that we shall not be meted punishment for entering the gates of eve.."
Charging through the female locker room…we saw an unseemly sight one of the shower doors were open..and a green splatter of paint was on the wall and locker…and a large bat with a nail impaled through the bloodstained tip
"In the name of Christ!? What calamity..has….befallen us..
"HHHHEELLLLLPPPP! I CANT SEE! ITS DARK!"
Takuma's eyes blazed to life "Hoshi…"
"Please do not let Hoshi die" I prayed to myself but I was only fooling myself….. for the what was about to be experienced next was a full frontal assault from the armies of hell… Opening the doors of the locker room….
The dead Hibiki…He was nothing but an empty husk, that same despair, trying to run from a stalking shadow pursuing with no relent, no mercy…an alley cat whose face obscures in a hanging dread, chasing the rat until trapped in a corner, this was no different.
Hibiki body facing downward, floating inside the pool…leaking out was blood from his broken nose. Hibiki wanted was respect and acknowledgement. A simple reward for being his authentic self. But his rewards, was never granted, not even in death.…and then we heard
"Ding Ding Ding Ding! A body has been discovered! After a certain amount of time, we shall begin the class trial! BON BUN BUN BUNS!"
