Welcome to the second Freetime Event before the motivation is presented and eventual murder! I'll keep who I chose for this Freetime Event chapter a secret so you'll have to read to find out who I picked.
Oh, and I have an idea, that I'm kinda stealing from V3 again, it involves the Love Hotel. I'm thinking of doing it after each Chapter, meaning after each Trial ends, as a way for people to get to know the people that have been killed off more as an Extra before the next Chapter. So nobody feels like I'm neglecting their character, and if I am, it's not on purpose, I'm sorry. I'm gonna tweak the Love Hotel to fit with my story. If you're all for it, feel free to PM me a Love Hotel scenario for your character, and if you don't, I'll probably make one up that'll hopefully fit. Keep in mind that if you do PM me a Love Hotel scenario, that the other partner's gonna be Daisuke, and it's gonna give a toss to sexual preferences, seeing as it's not really connected to the main story and won't be affecting anything in the main story or any relationships in any way, like it does in the game.Anyways, let's get this show started!
Chapter 1-3: Of Trust and of Dissonance- Daily Life Freetime Event 2
Daisuke woke up the next morning due to the monitor in his room going off. He sat up and looked at the monitor to see Monokuma on the screen.
"Good morning everyone! I hope everyone had wonderful dreams about murder last night! I know I did! Have a beautiful day everyone, and try not to get yourself killed! Upupupu!" Monokuma said before the screen shut off again.
"Stupid bear." Daisuke said to himself before he got up and left his room, heading to the cafeteria for breakfast.
When he got to the cafeteria, he saw a few people were there before him, Xeno was talking with Torahiko at one end of the table, or rather, Xeno was doing all the talking while Torahiko was just sitting there, listening, amused.
'Never expected those two to hit it off.' Daisuke thought to himself before he looked to the other end of the table to see Kazuko reading a book, which he assumed Kuroko made because she was answering any question that Kazuko was asking.
Not wanting to disturb anyone, Daisuke sat down at the table and waited for someone else to come, which wasn't long since they all heard a commotion outside the door. They all turned in time to see Harumi pulling Fujin and surprisingly Kafsi into the cafeteria with Bertrand following behind.
Daisuke watched, confused, like the others sitting at the table as Bertrand took the seat to his right.
"Do I want to ask?" Daisuke asked.
"To put it simply, Harumi was continuing to try to get Fujin to socialise with us and I saw an opportunity." Bertrand said, but at Daisuke's still confused expression, he elaborated. "Harumi dragged Fujin out of her room and I asked her to do the same with Kafsi and his Ultimate Lab as a favor. I understand the interest in honing your skills but one does not have to do as Buddha did to find enlightenment and forgoe food and proper rest."
"Oh, yeah Kafsi did seem really interested in his Ultimate Lab yesterday when I saw him." Daisuke said before Harumi plopped down on the other side of Bertrand.
"I did what you asked me!" Harumi said.
"Yes, thank you." Bertrand said.
"You're welcome, what are friends for? Though in return, could you help me with a project I'm working on?" Harumi asked.
"I suppose, since you did do me a favor, I should return the same." Bertrand said.
"Great!" Harumi cheered as Fujin sat down as far away from all of them as possible and Kafsi sat down across from them.
"I don't see why you had to pull me away from my work." Kafsi said.
"Your stomach was growling when me and Harumi mentioned breakfast." Bertrand said, resulting in Kafsi's stomach growling again before he turned away stubbornly.
"Speaking of breakfast, who's making it?" Torahiko suddenly said.
"When Kazuko and I arrived earlier, we saw Soleil working in the kitchen." Kuroko said.
"Oh, maybe he'll make chocolate chip pancakes! He is the Ultimate Chocolatier after all." Xeno said.
"What's this about chocolate?" Koyumi asked as she, Kokomo, Jackson, and Micheal came in and took seats at the table.
"Oh, we were just talking about breakfast and Kuroko said Soleil was making it." Daisuke said.
"I'm sure his cooking would be better then what we could make, even if his speciality is something else." Kokomo said.
"Eh, I guess." Jackson shrugged as Michael looked around the table.
"It appears to be a bit odd ball right now." Michael said, making everyone look at him, confused.
"Oh!" Koyumi said, seeming to understand what he's saying. "I think it's because Katsumi and Angelo aren't here yet."
"How did you know what he was saying?" Daisuke asked.
"Oh, his speaking is somewhat similar to what I'm used to hearing." Koyumi said.
"Well, whatever he said, those two will probably be at each other's necks again." Fujin bit out.
"Oh, I hope not. We need to work together right now." Kazuko said.
"I very much doubt they'll be willing to get along at the moment." Torahiko said.
And as if to prove his point, Angelo and Katsumi came in, yelling at each other. The amazing part is that they continued arguing as they sat down at the table, even though they weren't near each other.
"Wow, that is just amazing, and we don't even know what they're arguing about." Kokomo said.
"They're like an old married couple." Xeno said.
"We're not a couple!" Angelo and Katsumi yelled at the same time.
"As if I would lower myself to such plebian tastes." Angelo said.
"Well you're no prize yourself!" Katsumi yelled.
Just before they could enter another arguement, Soleil came out of the kitchen with their breakfast made.
"Here we go, hope you like it." Soleil said as the students all grabbed some food and started eating.
"This is good." Kazuko said, with the others making various versions of agreements.
"Thanks, I'm not the best cook, but I know my way around the kitchen." Soleil said, blushing lightly in embarrassment. "Besides, it was either me cooking or Monokuma."
"Better you making our food then him." Daisuke said.
"I'll have you know I'm a great cook, you bastards!" Monokuma said as he suddenly appeared. "Hmph, you brats should appreciate your Headmaster more!"
"How do we know you wouldn't put poison in the food you make?" Kokomo asked.
"I get no joy out of killing you myself. Well, that's a lie, I love killing! But I much prefer it if you kill each other!" Monokuma said.
"We aren't killing each other!" Daisuke said angrily.
"Now if you would make your leave, I would prefer not to lose my appetite due to your prolonged presence." Angelo said.
"Fine, I have a martini mix waiting for me anyways." Monokuma said before he disappeared.
They all finished their breakfast and started discussing what to do for the day.
"It would seem that we should just do as we did yesterday and do as we want, while also searching for a way out." Katsumi said.
"While I loathe to say it, I agree with her." Angelo said.
"Finally I can be alone and away from all of you." Fujin said, getting up and leaving.
"Hey! I just got you out and I'm not letting you go back to being alone!" Harumi yelled as she ran after her.
"We all should follow their lead and do as we want." Torahiko said before he got up and left, with the others slowly following.
This is a page break, I don't know how to do one.
Daisuke wandered around the halls, wondering what he should do for now before he stopped in front of Kafsi's Ultimate Lab, hearing sounds of metal clanging.
'Kafsi must be working inside.' Daisuke thought before he entered the room and saw Kafsi working on some metal project that Daisuke had no idea about.
"Hey Kafsi, what're you working on?" Daisuke asked as he walked up to him.
Kafsi looked startled for a moment, since he was invested in his work before he noticed it was just Daisuke. "Hello, I'm merely working on an automata that would be worth of Hephaestus."
"That's the Greek God of Blacksmiths right? Makes sense that you would be fascinated by him, since you're Greek and the Ultimate Blacksmith." Daisuke said, but became confused when Kafsi chuckled. "Did I get it wrong?"
"No, you're not wrong, but Hephaestus isn't why I inspired to be a blacksmith. That belongs to my grandfather, my teacher." Kafsi said with a smile. "He was the one who taught me everything there is about being a proper blacksmith, and he was so proud when I succeeded him."
"You sound like you admire him a lot." Daisuke smiled as well.
"Yeah, I do. I'm sure you have someone in your family who you admire, like your mom or dad." Kafsi said.
Daisuke's smile became somewhat forced at the mention of his father. "I... can't exactly say the same. My mom died when I was born."
Kafsi winced slightly at his insensitive remark. "I'm sorry about that. What about your dad?" He asked, only to receive silence as Daisuke adverted his eyes. Kafsi sighed before he pulled Daisuke into a gentle hug, surprising him. The younger slowly returned the hug.
"Thank you." Daisuke said after they pulled apart.
"No problem, if you want to talk, you can always come to me." Kafsi smiled.
Daisuke couldn't help but smiled back before he turned to leave. "I will, Kafsi-nii!" He said before he left.
Kafsi chuckled to himself before he returned to his work.
Daisuke's smile didn't fade away as he continued walking down the halls, the talk may have brought back some unpleasant memories, but at least he felt like he got a surrogate big brother out of it.
He found himself in front of Bertrand's Ultimate Lab. 'Wonder if he's in there.' Daisuke thought as he opened the door and looked inside, seeing Bertrand at a table reading one of the many books that were available.
Daisuke walked up to him, curiously looking at the book. "What are you reading?"
Bertrand glanced at him. "It's a book that's comprised of the teachings that Buddha gave. It is one of the better ones I have to admit."
"Oh." Daisuke said before he looked at a stack of books, most the titles and authors flew over his head but he stopped when he saw a familiar name on one of the book and pulled it out. "You wrote a book?"
"Several actually. You'll find that none of my philosophical points contradict each other if you have read any of them." Bertrand said.
"I haven't, I can never understand philosophy." Daisuke said sheepishly.
"It's alright, let me summarise it so you can understand. What my ideas are is this: It is unknown why Humans exist, but as they are thinking creatures, they have the ability to strike down suffering and despair, an ability that animals do not have. It is therefore not only their moral imperative to be good people whenever they can, but also to keep Human Society and technology advancing until they are able to create a new world, where no one and nothing from God Himself to a single cell in a microscopic organism has to experience suffering." Bertrand explained for him.
Daisuke thought about it for a bit before he seemed to understand. "So, we have to work together so that nothing and nobody feels despair?"
"Yes, that's right. I have to admit, I despise the idea of despair and people suffering because of it. That bear is a prime example, enjoying the act of suffering." Bertrand said, his voice slightly tainted with anger.
"Well, as long as we don't listen to him, we don't have to worry about it." Daisuke said, hoping to calm him down.
Bertrand stared at him a bit before a small smile appeared on his face. "If the others had the same mindset as you, I don't have to worry then."
Daisuke smiled back, happy he made the other smile.
"You can go on now, the others would benefit from your company as well." Bertrand said, waving him off. Daisuke smiled and waved back before he left.
Daisuke wandered back to the cafeteria and heard sounds coming from the kitchen. When he went inside, he saw Soleil looking through the cabinets in the kitchen.
"Hey Soleil, what're you looking for?" Daisuke asked.
"Oh, sorry, I was just looking for some chocolate to work with, or any ingredients to make chocolate. I wanted to make something for everyone but I can't seem to find anything." Soleil said as he continued looking.
"Let me help you." Daisuke said before he went to help.
"You don't have to do that." Soleil said, blushing lightly.
"I want to though." Daisuke said.
"Well, if you insist. Thank you." Soleil said before they both continued their search. After some time, they realised their search was fruitless and stopped, sitting on the floor.
"I don't think Monokuma stocked any chocolate. Too bad, I was looking forward to eating your chocolate. I hear it's amazing." Daisuke said.
"Oh, it's nothing special, really. It's honestly the only cooking thing I'm really good at." Soleil said.
"What do you mean?" Daisuke asked, curious.
"Well..." Soleil started before he sighed. "Before I tell you, I want you to promise not to tell anyone else. I don't want any more attention on me then necessary."
Daisuke blinked in surprise before he nodded. "Okay, I promise."
"Good. Now, I come from the Roux family." Soleil said.
"Wait, you mean that family of world renown chefs in Paris?" Daisuke asked.
"Yeah, the very same. Compared to them, my cooking isn't all that good. The only thing I'm better at is making chocolate. I still work with them, but I took my mother's maiden name so my chocolate and reputation wouldn't be influenced by them." Soleil said.
"Do you... not like your family?" Daisuke asked.
"No, I love them, but it's hard not to feel... lower then them." Soleil said.
"I understand that, I love my mother even though she's not around anymore. I can't say the same about my father though." Daisuke said.
"What do you mean?" Soleil asked.
"I don't feel comfortable talking about it now. But next time, I promise to tell you, okay?" Daisuke asked.
Soleil looked at him for a bit before nodding. "Okay."
"Good." Daisuke smiled before he got up. "Well, I better get going."
"See you later." Soleil said as the other boy waved before he left.
Daisuke walked back to his room and laid his bed, thinking about his day and all the memories it brought back with it. He sighed. "Can't even escape it here."
His thoughts were cut off when the monitor went off.
"Emergency! Emergency! Everyone please gather in the main auditorium for a special meeting!" Monokuma said before the monitor turned off.
"What does he want now?" Daisuke said before he got up and walked out of his room, not knowing this would be the last peaceful day.
And this make the end of this Chapter's Freetime Events, much longer this time, yay! Hopefully this is more informative then last time.
I am making group dynamics which are most likely going to break as the killing starts happening. I don't know why, I just love how certain people go together, then break apart when one of them gets killed. This is a little dark, but so is Danganronpa, so... Also, that quote that Bertrand said doesn't belong to me, Bertrand's creator gets the credit for that.
Anyways, next chapter, the motive is given and a murder is going to happen. Who's gonna kill and who's gonna get killed? That's for me to know and you to find out. Remember to read and review, and send your character's Love Hotel scenario in PM if you have an idea. Chaos, out!
