Guess I should head on too. Better make sure I have everything with me though.

[Board the bus]
[Wait, I forgot something]
I walked onto the bus last and was greeted by a smile from the bus driver. It took me by surprise to see the bus was more luxurious than your average bus. It had black leather recliner chairs with a red carpet that stretched across the whole isle. I started to realize that this is it. In a few hours I would be at Hope's Peak International Academy.
"Oi chico! Hurry up and and sit your trasero down!" Raul shouted.
"My what?" I asked, it sure didn't sound like English to me.
"He said sit your butt down!" Maya answered.
Since most the seats were taken by everyone else and their luggage I headed to the back seat of the bus where a boy with black-shoulder length hair sat alone.
He stared out the window with an uninterested look on his face, almost bored.
"What?" he asked in a leave-me-alone tone. Strange, he sounded really...feminine.
It took me a minuet to realize that he wasn't actually a "he". He was a she.
"I didn't say anything," I told her. Thank goodness I caught that quickly.
"Hmph, whatever." she returned her gaze to the window.
The doors soon closed and the engine turned on. Within a few minuets the bus started to go and we were off.
"Shall we continue with introductions?" spoke the girl with loose blonde curls.
"Yes, after all we do have time before reaching the school." spoke a girl with a dark complexion.
The ginger guy sighed "Well then let me go first. I wanna get this out of the way." Holding the top of his seat he stands up.
"I'm William Tricher."
William Tricher
Super High School Level Genius
A 5'9" (180cm) teen with red curly hair who is from the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Wears black jeans, a black unbuttoned hoodie with a red tank top underneath with white sneakers He also wears black fingerless gloves.
"Tricher?" asked the girl with blonde curls.
"Uh huh. It means cheater in french."
"Is your family...full of cheaters?" asked the blonde.
"If you knew my family..." his voice grew somber "Well just forget it. I'm nothing like them."
"I apologize," she replied.
"Apology accept," William told her "Anyways, enough about me. Whos next?"
"Upupupu, can I go next?" spoke a teddy bear.

"Whoa Luca, how are you controlling him?! Dude are you part of the Illuminati?!" Julian gasped.
"Uhh..." Luca shook his head with a worried expression. I looked at the bear then back at Luca who held his hands up (with Usa) in a way that said "I'm innocent!". For some reason the bear looked vaguely familiar but I couldn't figure out why.
"Hey, hey! Don't associate us with that fat beast!" Usa snapped.
"Fat? I'll have you know I'm chunky, there is a big difference!" the bear shouted.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa wait! If thats not Luca's puppet then how is it moving?" Maya exclaimed in confusion.
"Maybe someone here is the Super High School Level Magician?" Shaolin guessed.
William gave Shaolin a skeptical look "Does it look like any of us are magicians?"
"Everyone please be careful!" exclaimed the girl with the dark complexion "That bear is not someone you should underestimate!"
That look on her face. Its full of fear...over a stuffed animal? I don't get it.
The more I thought about it the more I became lost. Just what the hell was going on here?
"..." Kotoko bit her lip as her nails practically dug into the seats. Her eyes filled with rage, like she was about to tackle the stuffed animal.
"Do any of you even remember?" murmured the girl who sat next to me.
This can't be a coincidence. Even she knows too?
"Upupu I feel like a celebrity meeting his fans for the first time. But enough about me, introductions will have to wait till later. After all, were running on a tight schedule." the bear threw his paws up "Upupu, nighty-night!"
"Wait!" Kotoko screamed. Before she could lay a hand on the bear he disappeared.
I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
"Nighty-night? But its only 3:45!" Maya exclaimed.
"Maybe the bus driver might know something," said another tall guy with a monotone voice.
"Thats right!" Raul shouted "Oi Senor! Senor!" No response. The the air conditioner then turns on.
"I-is he...okay?" Ilse stuttered.
"..." Kotoko sat in her seat with the same anger-fueled expression she had a few minuets ago.
Well sitting around isn't going to get anything done. I want answers.
"I'll go ask the bus driver whats going on," I stated.
"Yeah Kyung! Taking the lead!" Julian chanted.
"Do be careful, after all the bus is still in motion," the girl with blonde curls said.

[Talk to Raul]
"You guys seriously haven't figured it out yet?" she sighed angrily "I'm stuck with a bunch of f*cking idiots."
Thats quite the tongue you got there.
"Hey," the girl looked at me with the same apathetic expression "You know where the bear is from don't you? Care to explain?"
"You really can't remember?"
I know I've seen that bear somewhere, I just don't remember where.
"No, thats why I asked." the more I talked to her the more annoyed she seemed to become.
"...If you stop the bus I'll tell you."
"Stop the bus?" I was confused by why she would even suggest that.
"Yes! Good you can understand English! Stop. The. Bus! Is remembering that stupid animal more important than your live?! Ugh, you're starting to really piss me off!"
"...Forget I even asked," I sighed "Just give me your name instead." For a girl she really had a sarcastic foul mouth.
"Eh?" she looked abit shocked that I had asked "W-why should I?"
"So you can thank me later."
"Thank you later?"
"For stopping the bus. You seriously haven't figured it out yet?" I asked, mocking the angry tone she had.
She gave me a cold glare "...M...Moirrah. Moirrah Aquino Villanueva."
Moirrah Aquino Villanueva
Super High School Level Historian
A 4'11" Filipino with glasses, brown eyes and black hair that hovers just above her shoulders. Underneath her white scarf and unbuttoned khaki trench coat she wears a blue dress shirt with black pants.
"Now was that so hard?" I asked.
Moirrah looked away as she cursed under her breathe "...Just go away."
Fine by me.

"Whats up chico? You got butterflies in your stomach?"
"Not at all. If anything I'm really confused,"
"Yeah, I am too. How could a bear easily disappear like that?" William wondered.
At least I'm not the only one who is confused.
"It has to be the Illuminati!" Julian shouted.
"Que?!" gasped the Mexican wrestler.
"Julian this really isn't the time to be joking," I told him.
"Dude seriously! Freaky stuff like this doesn't happen everyday!" he shouted.
"Just what do they want with us?" pondered Raul.
"The Illuminati isn't behind this!" I exclaimed in annoyance "Don't you think they would be doing something more important than hijacking a bus full of high school students?"
"Thats just it, you never know what they could be thinking." Julian stated.
"Maybe Kyung is one of them! Ayy Kyung, porque?!"
Either Julian is a really good actor, or he hit his head too hard...

Front of the Bus
After carefully making my way to the drivers seat I saw the driver cool and calm. Nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary.
"Excuse me," I spoke with a humble tone. When he didn't answer I spoke up "Excuse me, sir."
I gently shook the driver's shoulder to get his attention...however...
"What the-?!" I gasped "Hey, what are you doing sleeping?! Wake up!"
I shook him as hard as I could, but nothing. He was completely out cold. The bizarre part was that his hands were still on the wheel driving. Without thinking I tried to take one of this hands off only to find a sticky substance on the wheel.
"Glue?" I could only think of one possibility at this moment...
DanganRonpa2 OST: Tropical Despair
...The bus was driving itself.
It was then I suddenly remembered something. Moirrah's words: "Stop. The. Bus! Is remembering that stupid animal more important than your live?! Ugh, you're starting to really piss me off!"
But that doesn't make any scene! How does a bear do all of this?!...No, shes right. I can worry about the bear later. Right now I have to do something.
I thought about it for a moment. If I stopped the bus we would be able to get out of here. But what if we got into an accident? I might be putting everybody's lives in danger, even the drivers around us. After all we are driving on a highway...But if I don't stop it then...well I don't know what will happen. Should I trust her word's? Should I trust the words of someone I barley know? A Complete stranger?
...I have to make a decision, and quick.

[Stop the bus]
[Don't stop the bus]
I wrapped my hands around the lever and shifted gears...but nothing happened. The bus continued driving.
"Dammit!" I was beginning to feel lightheaded. This wasn't good. "Raul! Julian! Anyone!..."
"Kyung! What happened?" I heard Raul shout. I quickly turn back and head back to the others, each step becoming more difficult. When I got back I saw nearly everyone passed out except for Raul and William.
"Wheres the bus driver?" Raul asked.
"...Hes out cold," I replied "What happened to everyone?"
"I think I might know," William answered "Remember when the A/C turned on?"
"Yeah, so?" Raul said.
"It not cold air coming out of it,"
"How do you know that?" I questioned as I leaning my body against one of the seats.
"Remember what the bear said earlier? Nighty Night? Well he wasn't joking," William then pointed to Shaolin who was next to him "He was the first to pass out. When I tried to wake him up I noticed it, the vent that was next to us. It wasn't blowing cold air. Instead, its actually blowing out sleeping gas."
"Why...didn't you open a window?" My eye lids were starting to become heavy. This wasn't good.
"We tried chico, but the windows wouldn't budge one bit..." I could tell by Raul's tone he was becoming drowsy too.
William began to speak "We...ha...so...th...ng..."
"Huh?..." What was he saying?
"We have...do...some...ing"
I can't remember what he said...no...I don't care...too tired to think...Let him talk...I'm tired...I...

"Oh dear, is he going to be okay?"
"P-please. Don't be worried. I checked his breathing and p-pulses..."
Slowly I opened my eyes to only be blinded by a bright light "Argh!"
"Thank goodness," I couldn't tell who said that due to the floating purple dots I was seeing, but from their voice I could tell it was a girl.
"Where...am I?" I asked as my eyes adjusted to the bright light. Once my senses came to me, I literary jumped out of bed. The bus. The bear. Everyone. Everything came rushing back to me.
"What happened?! Is everyone okay?"
"Ah!" Ilse hesitantly held her hands up "B-be careful...Y-you just woke up."
"But how..." I paused and took a deep breath.
Calm down Kyung, no need to get worked up.
"How are we still unharmed? Where are we anyway?"
"Uhh..." Ilse looked down to the floor.
"Please, one question at a time," spoke another female voice. I turned my head to see the girl with blonde curls.
"Okay..." I sighed "How are we still unharmed?" With the bus on autopilot, the odds of us getting into an accident was huge.
"I'm sorry...That I don't know," replied the blonde.
I then moved onto the next question "Do you at least know were we are?" As nice as this 5 star suite looked did not look like a hospital or infirmary.
"Well...that I'm unsure of either...It appears though we are on a boat. A cruise ship to be more accurate," the girl with blonde curls indicated.
"A cruise ship?" I repeated. Did she say that right?
"Well, yes. Look out the window."
I turned my head to see a vast body of water with clear skies as far as the eye could see. It looked pretty real, but it was just hard to believe.
"Are you sure that is just not a green screen?" I asked skeptically.
"Positive."
"Uh huh..." I was still unconvinced "Where is everybody else?" I asked, seeing only two girls in the room...two girls and one guy huh?-No, this isn't the time Kyung. Get your head together.
"T-they're looking...f-for a way out." Ilse stuttered.
"Ilse and I have been looking through the rooms checking on everyone else whos still asleep," spoke the blonde.
"I see...And you are?"
"Oh how rude of me! I've been talking to you yet I haven't even given you my name. My name is Venus Fiore. Pleasure to meet you Mr. Azuma."
Venus Fiore
Super High School Level Cupid
A 5'3" beautiful girl from France with short, soft blonde curls that just reach her shoulders and has blue eyes. Matching the pink bow in her hair she also wears a fancy light pink pastel dress. Appears very lady-like.
"Please, no need to be so formal."
She paused for a moment, thinking of what to say "Ah yes, sorry. For a moment I almost forgot how to speak English, how embarrassing." she lightly chuckled "But if you insist than I shall address you by first name."
"A-are yo..."
"Excuse me?" I asked the shy doctor.
"Ilse is worried about your physical condition," Venus stated.
"Oh. Yes I'm okay, thank you for your concern." I quickly checked my body just to make sure...Yep. All good. "I should probably go meet up with the others then."
"Very well," Venus said "Ilse and I shall remain here until everybody else has awakened."
"Right."

"So Venus, is there anybody else who is still asleep?" I asked Venus.
"Just Raul and Kotoko. I wouldn't worry too much though, they should be just fine. Everyone else we checked woke up with no injuries whatsoever."
"That is a relief. Still...how is this possible? We were just on our way to Hope's Peak International Academy and now were stuck on a cruise ship?"
"I'm just as confused as you are. But please, don't be upset, I'm sure we'll find a way out of here soon enough." She sounded confident about it, but I liked that. It put me at ease a bit.
"Yeah, you're right. Lets look for a way out." I sighed feeling more relieved.
"Thats the spirit," she softly laughed with a smile.

I looked at the bed that I had apparently been sleeping in. I have to say it was really comfortable, more comfortable than my bed. It has an elegant red wine comforter with several gold decorative pillows on it. Though it was abit messy from where I was sleeping.
This is all nice but how did we even end up here?

Whats this?
Looking at the fancy mahogany night stand I noticed a card laying on top of it. The card had a drawing of the bear we'd seen earlier on the bus and said "Welcome Students."
Welcome students? Is this the school's doing? No, I highly doubt it. They mentioned nothing about a cruise ship during orientation.
"You got a card too?" Venus noticed.
"Yeah, I'm guessing everybody else did too?"
"I know I did."
Ilse agreed with Venus by nodding her head and showing us a card identical to Venus' and mine.
Oh, there is something else here too...coins?
I examined the gold coins and saw they had the face of the bear from earlier on both sides. Strange, I've never heard of this currency before. Monocoins?
Maybe I should hold onto them, they might be useful.

She looks like shes worried about something.
"Are you okay?"
She looked up at me for a brief moment to nod "Y-yes. I'm just thinking..."
"About?"
"Raul and Kotoko's c-condition. Since Raul is b..."
She kept talking, but her voice was getting lower and lower "I'm sorry. Could you repeat the last part?"
"Ah-sorry...I uh...well...Raul is bigger so he probably took in more s-sleeping gas then the rest of us...S-so...I think between him and K-kotoko...Kotoko will wake up next."
"Good point. I guess you really are the Super High School Level Doctor."
"Y-you didn't think I was..." Oh no, she took that the wrong way.
"It was just a joke Ilse. Relax," I chuckled.
Ilse paused for a moment then smiled "Oh...R-right."

Looking out the huge window that took up most of the wall all I could see was the vast ocean and sky. No island or land in sight. I even pressed my ear against the window only to hear the ocean waves roar.
Guess we really are out at sea...but where? Are we still in Japan right? Hard to tell, we could be in the Atlantic ocean for all we know. Hopefully thats not the case.

Ugh, I was expecting to get more introductions in here but I didn't want to keep you guys waiting any longer. How many have I introduced?...ten? Woo! We got only six left! Expect the introductions and prologue to be done within the next chapter or two (probably two). Looks like you guys have to decide where Kyung is going again. Who knows maybe he'll find more Monocoins while exploring. Once the story gets going I'll make sure to let you guys make the big decisions (though if your not careful enough you may get a game over!) But thats all for now, until next time guys, byee! :D
