Got another done! Here it is!
BGM: Beautiful Ruin
Well, whoever the heck is this girl is, I can see she doesn't seem to be happy to be here. That, and well, the times she attempted to bite my hand off. Oh well, she wasn't the first one to do it. Guess it's just, well, if misses smarty pants calling herself Etsuko decides to be more aggressive, she could very well be detained like him. I wonder why we let the others roam around with us though...eh, Chikako does have a point though...what if they really are just working for them?
Well, to be honest...could it be that there might be someone like us be in their side, and one within ours? Really crazy to think about, but honestly, this place is fucked to begin with. As if it couldn't get worst with how we got one of them volunteering to go and look at their own group. A bit too hyper if you'll ask me. Also, what the hell is it with her and that dress? No matter how I see it, it's just, wrong...No matter what I try to do, something keeps telling me that she should have something besides that, like, less professional or something.
"BARA! We need you out here, pronto! Don't even think you're gonna escape this one!" Someone, possibly her was speaking to me. Guess someone just really don't know that pissing me off isn't something too wise.
"Be right there." And slowly, making sure I didn't went too fast or anything, there was a small group being reunited farther away the halls. Since it's decided that Usami won't let us leave from the main hospital floor, we might as well as make it the temporary prison for the fuckers. Wait. Almost forgot.
"Please don't give much trouble to the other guard. She's known as a witch, ya know?" I was given back a raspberry from her as a response, which was gladly exchanged for a middle finger. It's not the best thing to do as something professional, but I wonder if anybody really minded when we're in this state of overly huge amount of disorder. Well, might as well.
"Hey! It's this side! Okay?! Can you even see well?" Okay. Bitch. You don't need to think I'm your servant or something that would resemble a rug.
"Don't start. I have a headache right now, and it be best if you were not a cause right now." Well, this who I was expecting. If it isn't Chikako herself. And here I thought that maybe she would have been careful with what she would say to me. I mean, that was a nasty injury I gave to can shaker there.
"Well, you should know that he's there you know. Last time I checked, you weren't in your best format ya know? Now if you can just-" Fuck it. Turns out she's just gonna yap all day. Screw it. She lost respect.
"Coming." With a small pivot to the eastern hall, I approached to Chikako, to the point where she seemed kinda off. She looked as though she was already losing her balls worth of strict and serious behavior. She really wasn't so keen to be around guys, right?
"Uh...Okay! J-Just follow me." And with that, she was heading to the western side of the building, where the walls seem to be back in place to where they belonged. A crazy experience to live through, mind you. Either way, during this trip, I could see she looked a bit uncomfortable with me being behind her, though I wonder, is it cause she think's I'll touch her back? Recently, she's being questioned because of that, and though "Teddy", A.K.A sleeper, told everybody to just let her be, it really brings the question as to why she would do that. I mean, she felt pain and all when she does get touched there, and no matter how many times we tell her that she could be treated, or feel safe knowing that this was something that only us would know, mainly because it seems as if though there may not be anybody else in here, except those guys, plus with my gut feeling, she doesn't allow any type of information fall from her tongue.
Did I forgot to mention how the lighting in this place needs work? It's not even matching with how the entire area looks as though it really was more of a mental institute, rather than a poorly funded hospital, something this place is way too far from to begin with. The staff is just crappy, that's all.
"W-Wait up! I'm coming too! Um, hold up!" It was then that Ho-Chi appeared, in a haste like state, as if she's late for-, yeah, it didn't took a genius to figure out that she was the one who was going to represent the defending side of this whole shit storm.
"Ho-Chi! You're not supposed to be late on your own side! You're the one who came up with this! J-Just, ugh, never mind...come." Chikako may not feel so splendid with the fact that Ho-Chi, which would be one of the few who will represent the defense for the teacher and his students, but hey, she can be cool I guess with her rivals. She probably does that to her competitors, being a, ha, a 'chesser'.
"S-Sorry, wasn't planning to be late. So uh, if you can, mind if you take a look to what I found in one of those guys?" With her hands searching inside a bag with Usami's face on it, something that was pretty much a clear indication of narcissism coming from that rabbit, she pulled out...a screen?
"What's the meaning behind this? I know they have that, but it doesn't seem to work. Or at least, not properly." Chikako responded, possibly wondering what it is. To tell the truth, this seems pretty...odd looking.
"Oh! Um...This is what I think they call a tablet. Um...it's from the knife thrower who came here willingly. You know, the one that an Usami unit said." She had it handled with two hands by the sides. It looked pretty light, even though the black empty screen seemed heavy by itself.
"And what does a tablet, er, do?" I'm starting to get intrigued with whatever this is. Seems pretty valuable as well.
"Well, the only thing I know is that there is a button in the top, and that just pressing it does nothing. There's also some in the sides, but it doesn't work as well. Well, unless if it's doing something that I don't know. If anything, it reminds me of a PDA, but on steroids because of its sides."
"Huh? A PDA? What's that?" Well, it seems that this place here pretty much is the equivalency of the future, with how it looks like compared to what artist, movie makers, and comic book illustrators seem to believe it would be based by their designs and inspirations.
"Huh? Um, think of it as a small computer that can do, well, something. Other than just math and stuff like that." Ho-Chi responded, holding the tablet with the folded stance of her arms by her side, as if hugging it.
"Well, since you already brought it up, I might as well as tell you something. I'm not sure if it's reliable or something, but one of them told me to hold the button on that thing." Chikako had her arms folded to the center of her body, looking a bit authoritative-like.
"And what? Are you talking about one of us, or one of them?" I asked, wondering where she got that that info.
"Them. Obviously, since none of us have that. Either way, I still don't trust them. I mean, what if it does something, such as activating a bomb or something." Leaning to one of the walls, she made a cold stare to Ho-Chi, as in to signal for her to go put it in the bag.
"Very well. I think it would be okay then. I highly doubt it would do something import-

The room started to shake again, and with it, it felt similar to the time when we first arrived here. As such, I tried to balance my feet, until Chikako wobbled towards me as a result of her losing her balance to begin with. She fell on top of me, and as soon as that happened, it stopped. Because after that, a hole suddenly appeared, below where I was.
BGM: A Dead End To the Ocean's Aroma
"H-Huh?! OH MY GOD! CHIKAKO! GET MY HAND!" Ho-Chi suddenly dropped on all fours, and then extended her arm to hold out and grab Chikako's arm which almost seemed to fall of from the ledge she held out to from the beginning.
"AH! DAMN! HOLD ON BARA!" Chikako followed the similar procedure of grasping my hand tightly, as she was being held by Ho-Chi, and I, well, almost didn't even grab it.
"S-Shit! Shit! W-What the fuck's going on?!" I tried to do my best to not look in the ground, since I had a fear of, well, heights. That and falling as well. Something tells me that if I were to just look down, the scenery would have looked impossibly made, but present nonetheless.
"I-I'M GONNA PULL NOW...Um...In the count of three! One! Two! Three...!" And small tugs were made by Ho-chi.
"BARA! HOLD ON! DON'T LET GO!" Chikako, as if I want to die!
"I-I'M TRYING! GOD! This place is fucked! Who the hell made this shitty hotel?!" It was pretty difficult to get a good grip, but with a bit of luck in my side, I guess it's what made us able to survive.
"A-ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! IS ANY OF YOU-!"
"Well they seem fine. At least from how i'm seeing it. Though, maybe not their mental health. Oh well, they must be bummed about that I guess." A voice was heard, interrupting what Ho-Chi was saying. It was located to the other side where we were.
Standing, another teen seemed to be looking at us, arms wrapping around his body. You could see his undershirt with some sort of emblem in it that was red. Other than that, the most notable features in him were his white, unfocused and absolutely untamed hair that was colored white. He had a pale complexion, not Victorian or anything, but something like that, and green eyes, matching the green jacket he was wearing. Red and white sneakers with black pants, something about this person read...read...

So this is how you use it! It's pretty neat actually! Though, it might make the game a little too unfair for them...Ah! Is that what I think that is...! It's...Yes! I knew it was around here somewhere!

Oh! It appears I found the exit to this place. And look! People! Hmm...Not a lot, but it's a start! Man! Isn't this my lucky day! Well, can't stay too long you know. This would only ruin the surprise. Hmm...But maybe I could do something for them...feeling generous and all. This may end us up failing, but with how long we've escaped from the future foundation, maybe it's time to do something about it...Actually, why not? The pink rabbit didn't even seem to know that we've already entered here way too long ago! But, uh, at least technically. We're not the corpses and all...Okay! Maybe with this! They could be given their new e-handbooks! Gotta hand it to them. It was actually the last place we've found a way for them to stay in this state of repeated history. Their purgatory. The same thing that would have allowed them to leave whenever they would have wanted to! Oh well, it's not like it's always bad here. Just after the incident of course is when things do tend to get a bit nasty, but whatever. Just let me...here! Now they have a choice! Whether to go out of this safe haven of murder and distrust, or to wither away into whatever happens after you die. I feel I may never return after this, but oh well...! I can only hope that i'll return again. Maybe, just maybe, there might be a way to take away these ridiculous designed sneakers. Ugh...did Makoto's pair were the only one's they could find for me to wear?

Oh! And just to make sure...Yes! The monokuma units AI have taken over the Usami units. Well, except their leader's of course. They're really horrible actors and all, but it's enough for these guys. Who knew Chihiro could have made something so irreversibly made? Who knows...? I'm worthless when it comes to programming skills such as the ultimate programmer! I wonder how she'll turn out to be when she gets out of her prison. If I remember correctly, she's ready to be hooked up and go, along with the rest! Oh! The suspense is killing me!

Yeah...I have to do that thing where I, well, go backwar-

"Very well. I think it would be okay then. I highly doubt it would do something import-"
"No. I believe I should show you mine in order for you to understand. You may need to be closer." Since I already showed this to Chikako, there was no need for her to come close, since she already had hers in one of the Usami bags as well.
"Oh. Alright..." Ho-Chi came closer to me, and looked directly with the e-Handbook that I had. It was pretty weird that I forgotten how I had it, but hey, that's not the most important thing right now.

Now what shall we do today?

"W-Wow!" It said your name and everything Bara!" Ho-Chi responded, surprised with what came out to be just the boot up screen.
"Don't worry. Your own e-Handbook should be able to do the same. This is what we call the boot-up screen. I learned it just a while ago myself." I tried to throw in some type of trivia to her, which ended up automatically looking into the options that was displayed.
Ammunition
"Um, why does it say Ammunition?" Ho-Chi asked.
"Er, well, I really don't know...It's actually one of the few options that won't work in this e-Handbook. If I tapped on it, there will be no highlighted messages or anything of the sorts." I responded back.
"Wait. Tap? As in actual usage of fingers?" Okay. I kinda understand why she would ask this...she doesn't know much about these things. I should actually be the one that should fill the slot for that one, but uh, okay.
"Sure. Do you want to try?" And not even a signal came out of her until she pressed the option that said Map.

"I-It worked! Awesome! This is already better than a PDA!" Ho-Chi seemed to be a bit over-excited over something like this. Oh well, it's pretty cool I guess.
"If you didn't noticed, it displays information in the bottom for a better understanding. For example, Map states about things such as the location of students, the 'city' itself, and any new traces of abnormality." When I said the word city, I was starting to remember that Ho-Chi herself went outside.
"Oh yeah! The place outside, man, it's humongous! There's no way that you can't travel anywhere in it without getting lost or something!" She really did made it outside, didn't she?
"City? So this isn't even...man, where are we...?" Chikako looked at us and spoke, probably wondering how big this place is, that and it's size...
"I have to tell you what's outside when we get the chance! Just, uh, with everybody." And just with that line, the screen finished booting up.
"Cool. That's how it looks like as an outline!" And look, there's a lot of chibi faces showing everybody we've met so far!" Present to us was a small diagram of where we were in the hotel. Truth be told, this was pretty when it came to telling where our locations were. There were even some of those same mentioned faces moving at some intervals, updating where their locations were.

"That's everybod-, w-wait...who's Tsuki Nanasaki?" Well, that can be explained.
"I believe that is the name of the owner of the e-Handbook you were given. It explains why it's considered close...Mind if you pull it out of the bag?" It seemed as if though there was that part that I have yet to elaborate on.
"Oh! Uh, here you go..." It was at that moment that she gave me what would have been Nanasaki's e-Handbook.
"Also, what does it mean by teleport? Is it saying, like, we move from place to place or something?" Mentally prepared myself to answer the question after revealing that small switch in the back side of the e-Handbook, I flipped over Nanasaki's e-Handbook to reveal an off and on slide switch in the back.
"Possibly...either way, as I thought, it was on. Now hold mine for a second and see if her name is still displayed here." I gave her my e-Handbook, which made her get a quick startle, but instantly she got herself recovered from that.

"I can't find her name! It just disappeared all of a sudden!" Well, go figures. It seems that when it's at off, the location, and possibly more things, would no longer consist of listing a person's name. That would really prove...nothing. Are there more out there...? Are they just hiding...? Geez. That would suck.
"That's fine. Here, it's yours to hold again." And as such, I gave her the other e-Handbook, but as she was trying to grab it, she accidentally slipped her grip on mine. It's pretty funny to see the shock she has on her face, as if expecting it to break easily.
"I-I'm sorry, I, uh, I-I didn't mean to...!"
"Don't worry. That doesn't break at all, even if I wanted it to. Launched it in the air actually to test it. Not a single scratch, except how some of my finger smudges in the screen were scrapped. But that means nothing. It basically got a solid swipe on it's surface."
"Oh! A-Alright, um..." She quickly went down to reach it and hand it out to me again, while placing the one she was given, all while still not letting go of her own.
"I think we're through with this." And with that, I double tap to the side that had no words being present.

"Well, that was educational. But why did you want to stop?" Ho-Chi asked me, wondering about my actions.
"It really should be something you should experience yourself. You have your own you know. We don't know when we got our own, but nobody really seem to mind the timing. Well, except me of course." Chikako left the wall she was leaning in.
"Oh well, I guess you haven't forgotten about the fact that we are suppose to arrive in trial now, right? I'd rather not walk with one of my opponents when it comes to whether or not we should trust these new guys, but oh well, let's get there before we get late." Once again, Chikako spoke.
"Why are you even going against me? I thought we had a good conversation about how we could trust these guys." It seem as if though Ho-Chi had a conversation previous to what has happened.
"I still believe in my gut. I actually thought you'd remember about my scar. It's a, a reminder to be skeptical to other people, before I even consider them as safe or decent enough to be with." Oh...that would make it bias...well, at least they don't really know about this. Oh well, i'm no snitch any way.
"Then, we'll get there. Um, may the better person win!" And just like that, Ho-Chi stretched her arm to Chikako. She looked at it, before giving out her own hand.
"May the better person win." And with that, I think we made it all the way to the bigger, emptier room that had some chairs in a circle, and someone in the middle. It seem as if though that man will be present. He seems kinda nervous...That and Usami...well, I guess it's time to start.
Well, what better way to officialy start a game about a trial, with a trial? Or better yet, the end of a chapter that hasn't even existed to begin with, because basically, this. is. still. prologue.
This is just to make everybody participate at least one time in a trial, even if it's not murder. I wonder who'll be our new perspective leader? I guess you can only guess!
