Prologue 0-1: All Aboard the Spaceship Despair!

The hallway, much like my room, is covered in only white. All of this white is starting to hurt my eyes. I look down to my pad electronic to find my way to the gym, which is fairly far away. It is all the way door this corridor, to the left, halfway down that corridor, and then another left. By the map alone, I can see that the whole outline of this spaceship is not normal and my talent of composing has nothing to do with science in general, let alone the science needed to make a spaceship that does not kill everybody aboard.

"Hello~" Somebody pokes me from behind and makes me jump.

"...Um...hello...?"

"Hello!...Um, for introductions, I'm pretty sure you've to face the person. Can be wrong though," she, since her voice is stereotypically feminine, says. The last part definitely had traces of sarcasm.

"I was going to do that."

"Sure, sure, tough shot." While I am turning around, this girl places her hand on my shoulders and completes the rest of the action for me. She is certainly colorful in more ways than one. The pure color frenzy of her outfit stands out from the pure white, making it more calming to the eyes.

"You did not have to do that," I tell her. She sighs and moves her hands on her hips. And she is also biting her lip like a child.

"And you don't have to be so formal. It's a buzzkill." Once again, she sighs. Her eyes are looking away now making her look more bored than anything. "Alright, time to get this over with, I'm Mei Yamazaki. Are you another Ultimate?"

"Another Ultimate? Why yes, I am Shiro Amari and my title is Ultimate Composer," I answer her. Now she is actually paying attention. She is looking at me directly in the eyes without a hint of awkwardness.

Looking directly back at her, I notice that her eyes are a pure black unlike the rest of her. Her hair is a dark brown spiky bob. Mei wears a brown sleeveless vest over a pastel pink tank top. She has puffy brown short shorts that match in color exactly to her vest, although it is a lot brighter than her hair. This is the most colorful I have ever seen the color brown.

"I can't decide whether or not that's really boring or cool. I'm the Ultimate E-Sports Gamer!"

Mei Yamazaki

Ultimate E-Sports Gamer

"Hm, how old are you? What class of Hope's Peak Academy?" I do not remember her from my big class, but, since I was stuck with forty-nine other students, it is possible I just missed somebody or forgot her face. She does seem to be on the younger side though.

"What do you mean what class? We're all the fourth, right? Is this some sort of weird welcoming ceremony?" Mei asks. She automatically begins to observe the whole room. Her eyes travel everywhere. Mei even goes on her toes to see the room behind me.

"No, I belong to the first. I have already graduated from Hope's Peak Academy."

"Really! Teach me, senpai!" Mei, with her eyes literally sparkling, latches onto my arm. I am now losing feeling in my arm, which is bad since I need that to compose. Just asking outright might be considered rude. If I was not such a gentlemen, I would have just pushed her off. She is really light.

"..."

"Oh, senpai, you don't have to be shy around me! I'm legal!" Now she is pushing it. Feeling her breasts rub up against my arm makes me want to punch her in the face.

"I think we should be worrying about other things."

"You're no fun!" Mei pouts. She finally lets go of me. Bored again, Mei begins to play with her singular earring. It has a pick base that connects to her strangely unconnected earlobe and has a pearl in the middle. There is a small shine reflecting by the lights above the both of us. The lights blinding us with even more white.

"We should go to the gym-"

"Hey, check this out!" Mei, with the heel of her brown boots, beings to try to dig her heel into the floor. The weird thing is that the floor begins to sink but does not pop under all of the pressure. "I think that's pretty cool."

"Sure, but there are other things that we have to do. There's a chance that Monokuma is here."

"Monokuma!? That Monokuma? Monokuma Monokuma?" She then goes rushing through the hallway faster than I can possibly go. Mei is certainly a weird girl, yet she is still young. Lucky girl does not realize that we are stuck in space with a teddy bear that loves forcing kids to kill each other.

"Please do not let this be another Killing Game." I know that I am most likely jinxing myself. The third class did mysteriously disappear just to have a shaky excuse of them being away for business in the Americas. All a simple composer like me can do is to keep moving forward. So that is what I am going to do with this small, little step.

Okay, so first part of the prologue. And introduction to Mei, who is not like Akita at all. At all. Girl doesn't have an ahoge!

If you're new to my stories, know that I usually answer guest reviews in the author's notes. Because I'm lazy (says the girl writing two SYOC stories at a time).

Also, I'm getting way too many survivors. You know that I've to kill somebody, right? XD Everybody lives! The end. Sucks to a character in the Forest of Despair.

Okay, now to answer reviews~ (Since I'm waiting to accept characters because they're so many of them and they still flood my poor, poor inbox)

TheRoseShadow21: Well, I am crazy. I'm the type of person who writes two of these at once. Yes, FoD confirms that Mei is Akita's younger sister. That's not a spoiler at all since it is in the prologue of FoD (I guess this story is DiOS). Thanks. ^.^

Harukawa Ayame: Sleep is for the weak! BWAHAHAHAHAAHHAHHA...or wait, puhuhuhuhuhuhuuuhu.

YellowtheWriter: *screaming with you* REJOICE! Aki, get out here and spread your hope! One is in a forest, one is in space. Ssssppppaaaccceeeee. Nobody can top Mirabilis.

CommanderofInsanity: It is because she doesn't have an ahoge. Yeah, I feel like Akita, Takayuki, Ayano, and Mitsuru are the characters that make FoD rated M. So no more Takayukis.

BlueTanaka: Welcome to the Committee universe, where we all suffer. I'm looking forward to it. ^.^

ShadedLyht: You got time to submit characters but there's a really low chance of actually getting in. Might be open for like a week or something, depending on how I feel like. No concrete date. Thanks. :D

mpjindustries: Well, this time I'm a little more sane and not having twenty-one characters. Don't know if that's the smartest or dumbest decision in my life. I think all ideas...most ideas are good. :) I wish you the best of luck getting in.

tobi-is-an-artist-too: Yep. Considering Akita's current situation, she has not mentioned her sister in a while. But more than Matoko ever did. We're not pulling that twist again. I'm excited. :D

Mr. Haziq: Dun dun dun. (my favorite review ever)

TheUnkindledHunter: Thanks. Here's a small taste of how the story is like. :)

Puhuhuhu: Puuhuguuggifgldfjgfpoerjuioug9gi0ofkci (best Monokuma laugh)

The Pocketwatch Ripper: That's the thing about this SYOC. Talents are quickly being taken.

Scissor-Sniper: Looking forward to it. :D

Kukasabe Swift: Thanks. I'm glad to hear that. Since I really like how the stories are similar but the change of tone and atmosphere makes them completely different. I swear I'm modest. :P Thanks again. There's a natural time limit and no way to stop it. Dun dun dun.
