Okay, I've a few things I must announce before we get to the story.
Firstly, according to pretty much everyone, last chapter came out coded. I get that it pisses you guys off, trust me it pisses me off even more. This isn't the first time it's happened and it probably won't be the last. I want you guys to know, that I do read my own works once I publish them, so I will know if this happens and fix it as soon as I can, which may not be right away. I've been busy at rehearsals for Young Frankenstein and school just started up again so I don't always have time to fix it right away, but I will fix it eventually, you don't need to bombard me with that problem in the reviews. If you're still not content with that than P.M me about it, just don't waste your reviews on that stupid code thing, it really isn't something I can help.
Secondly, UnleashTheDinosaurs has graciously volunteered to be my illustrator and is currently working on either a group picture or individual pictures of each of the characters, excluding Kiyoto, Sakushi, and Chris (I think). So if you want a visual aid on the characters, find him on Deviantart (he retains the same username) he's already done his own O.C Toy and will proceed to do the rest at his own pace, don't rush him! (Sorry if you're a girl! I always assume based off of the username!)
Thirdly, I've decided to include Monomi and Monokuma in this story. They will participate in the transitions one day to another, in other words, Monokuma/Monomi Theatre! As well as Blainely and Chef Hatchet in their own Theatres, so the order will be like Monokuma, Chef, Monomi, Blainely or something like that. This is just to include them in the story since they're feeling left out, that doesn't mean that will be their only role though!
Finally, when you're done reading and reviewing, make sure that you check out my bio page for my new poll to determine who you want Nokoda to have free time with! If for some reason it isn't up their then I am fucking lazy as hell. Also, I'm a guy, just to confirm that… yeah. Now for your messages!
Arcana Compendium: Well, I'm glad you approve! Nokoda is, despite the talent, the tamest one of the lot… so… yeesh that came out wrong. Uh… yeah Wawanakwa! Yay! *Cough* Well nobody is left alive to complain, so um… yeah. H-how's life?
Shyjoker: Ah yes. You're that one person from VioElcina's story that talks with your O.C's! I wish I had that kind of trust with them!
Liam: I do not understand why that would be a problem, monsieur. Are you not the author?
Ryutaro: It's just not his cup of coffee.
Sakushi: I believe its cup of tea, dude.
Ryutaro: You get the fucking point, bastard!
Kiyoto: According to my observations and superior logic skills, I've deduced that this is why he doesn't talk to us. It is a natural instinct that he wishes not to speak with us.
Korimasa: Did someone say, nature?
Ryutaro: Oh fuck off, Ue, this is my story not yours!
Er, yes. That's why I don't converse with my creations. But I'm glad they respect you enough to SHUT THE FRONT DOOR, SAKUSHI! IT'S TOO COLD!
Ezleurnoe: Just checking, boss! I'm glad you watched Total Drama! If any of you are wondering, that was my third and fourth grade year's right there! I'm glad you liked Toy, UnleashTheDinosaurs would be happy to know you said that! And Mail, guess what that is spelled backwards… (It's Liam, as in, the French guy!).
PSISomething: Well at least he's fair! I understand if they felt rushed, but that's what FTEs are for!
MayoMace3: I knew he'd show up from the get-go too! I wuv Monomi as well, I think we all wuv Monomi! Well, Ryutaro is important… I think. Yeah poor Cocoa *snickers about stuff only the author knows*
Kristen-Kai-Lundy: Hell yeah! Gotta catch em all! Oh, wait you meant Ashida… awkward. Everyone likes cocoa with marshmallows! Oh, wait you meant Cocoa Law… awkward. Well you should go watch it, the first four seasons are on Netflix! Monokuma and Monomi encounters are funny, but I believe the funniest ones where the Monokuma vs. Usami in the actual game and the Island Mode! Made my cry!
HeroNoMore: I love them all too! Ah yes, Cocoa and Tamiko *snickers about stuff only the author knows*
Enough talking! Next chapter!
Chapter 1:
The Law Offers and Bans Many Services
Before game
"Velcome, your highness. I have been expecting you."
"H-how did y-you-"
"I am a psychic, your highness, I read of it in the stars this morning. Tell me, vhat is it you seek?"
"I seek to commune with the passed on, I was told to come to you by-"
"Kiyoto Madarame, perhaps?"
"Y-yes!"
"Whom vould you like to speak vith?"
"He only gave me this slip of paper '11037'. Do you know what that means?"
"I do, come let me show you to him."
"What about payment? It said on your door-"
"You came from Kiyoto, so he is vell I assume?"
"Yes"
"That is payment enough, this vay!"
Game
Chris McLean… Chris McLean… Why does that name sound so familiar? I can't remember, I can't remember!
"Hey kid, relax! Everything's gonna be okay!"
I looked over and saw that it was Hachi, who was trying to comfort me I heard behind me a snide reply
"He doesn't need your pity."
The redhead was baffled. He looked up at Cocoa and held up a certain finger. The two began arguing, and I decided to get on with the task at hand. Chris had told us to meet him at the top of the mountain. I started walking faster so I could get there quicker, but I became interrupted by the sound of a guitar playing a very Spanish chord
"Olé!"
Uh-oh. I turned around and to my surprise I found Liam, coming at me with a matador hat and castanets. Behind him, a very startled Helena was chasing after him. As he rushed by me I heard him say in a thick, seductive, Spanish accent
"You got to be faster than that, Señorita!"
But he was too fast for Helena, and soon she placed her hand on my shoulder as she tried to catch her breath. Confused, I asked
"So, um, was that another Liam?"
Breathing heavily, Helena nodded
"Latino?"
"Spaniard"
"Oh"
After our awkward silence, Helena had regained her breath, so I proceeded with the interrogation
"Name?"
Her frustrated scowl soon turned into a dreamy smile as she sighed in awe
"Leone del Rio!"
Leone del Rio
SHSL Dancer
Spanish
Rolling my eyes, I left Helena standing there, petrified in that dreamy stance. It's kind of odd, though, if Helena finds del Rio attractive, would she also be attracted to Liam? They are the same person after all.
Shrugging it off, I continued my trek up the cliff when all of a sudden I heard a large THWACK sound and a girlish scream. I ran quickly over to the top of the hill, and found everyone looking over the side, Chris chuckling.
"Well now, that'll teach him to interrupt me!"
He turned around and saw me, grinned, and beckoned me to join the others. Once the fifteen of us had gathered around Chris as if we were a Kindergarten class, he relayed to us the procedures, as a Kindergarten teacher would've
"Okay, kidos! Listen up, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Chris McLean! The host of the Fourth Game of Mutual Killing! As you all are probably aware of, the Mutual Killing Games were created by the SHSL Despair as a means to quench the remainder of hope in the world! A noble cause, but way too stereotypical! So my producers decided that it would be great for ratings to host one of my own! So, same rules as the older ones, except this time, only one winner! Oh and to give you greedy teenagers some motive, the winner receives one. Million. DOLLARS!"
A collection of gasps could be heard throughout the group, and some people shifted uncomfortably in their seats. Others, however, openly expressed their contrary opinions.
"Psssshhhhh, whatever! As if this is real. Junko Enoshima is long gone and nobody would ever do something like this without that much insanity!"
Was Shunaiko's response
"… how… exhilarating…"
This caused many to inch away from Miki
"Well shit, a guy can't catch a break can he?"
With that Ryutaro let out a sigh
"Hehehehehe! Holy mother of the sweet baby Jesus! That is one funny joke mister! Haw haw haw!"
Christ, how many personalities does Liam have? Many of us looked over at the newbie, who wore only a cowboy hat as the difference in appearance.
"And who are you this time, Liam? Or, uh, Mail or um, whoever you were?"
The cowboy tipped his hat in Sundee's direction and responded as if it were the most obvious thing in the world
"Why shoot, li'l lady! I'm only the best goddam singer this side o' the Mississippi! Name's Leroy!"
Leroy Johnson
SHSL Singer
American
At that point in time a certain someone came trekking up the hill. One SHSL Lawyer, named Cocoa.
Rubbing his head where a stick appeared to hit him, he walked over to the group and calmly sat down next to Ramina, who proceeded to sing about his recent tale. Chris allowed a chuckle
"So, how was your trip, Cocoa? Did ya meet Fang? He just loves to make new friends!"
Cocoa sneered as Chris continued his laughing
"Now if you want to be all official about your current situation, you are free to search the area! However, if you try to leave, please know that there are sharks out there that have been trained to hunt you guys down and either bring you back, or eat you! Either way you cannot leave! Don't believe me? That's okay, I won't stop you from trying anyway!"
He chuckled at the gasps and appalled faces surrounding him
"One more thing, at night time I want all of you to gather at the bonfire pit! I will go over some important rules that you should probably know as soon as possible… okay guys, dismissed!"
Investigation Time
Spontaneous Area Change:
The Unlucky Tiki Bar
Characters present:
Sundee Takanashi
Cocoa Law
Investigate Tiki Bar?
Yes
No
Looking around the area, I noticed several pamphlets lying on the counter of the bar. I picked them up and flipping through them, I nearly fainted. The pamphlet wasn't an advertisement for anything like a trip or product, it was a short article titled 'Kibogamine: An Insider's Look on how the most Formidable Walls we penetrated'. As I began to turn the page, a hand appeared out of nowhere and snatched the pamphlet right out of my hands.
"Tut, tut, tut! You mustn't spoil the game, Nokoda! Nobody likes a spoiler!"
I looked at Chris with a hateful glare and turned to face Cocoa, who was right behind me.
"It's okay, I already read it. Meet me in my cabin later if you want to know what it said."
He whispered as Chris departed. I nodded and continued to investigating the bar. I climbed over the counter and began looking over the staff area. It seemed to have several drink dispensers and even a Starbucks latte maker. As I looked around more I saw several unusual items laying around as if they belonged there, namely the large skull marked bottle of purple liquid next to the collection of various sharp items arranged in order of length. Apparently, Chris wasn't kidding.
I looked around some more and found nothing of suspicion, so I left the bar and proceeded to go on to the next area when she Sundee stopped me.
"So, find anything?"
She looked at me with dead seriousness, I nodded and gestured to the bar
"Yeah, I found a bottle of poison and some knives, it seems as though Chris actually wants us to kill one another."
Sundee looked away and began playing with a loose bit of one of her bandages
"Oh."
I wanted to say something to comfort her, I wanted to tell her it was going to be okay. But something inside of me said it wouldn't be. The little voice inside my head insisted I keep moving, so I did.
Spontaneous Area Change:
Old Mansion on the Hill
Characters Present:
Miki Erina
Kukuri Yukimura
Investigate Mansion?
Yes
No
I approached the Mansion with caution, it looked worn down and ready to fall. I reached for the door when I felt a cold hand pull me away. I looked behind me and saw Erina, staring blankly at the mansion.
"It's locked… you… can't open it yet."
I nodded and looked away from her cold face. It was making me nervous just looking at Miki. The way she spoke as if she were a ghost or something. As I walked away, she grabbed hold of my shoulder once more.
"I… found out something… if you want to know…"
I turned to face her, her cold dead eyes staring straight into mine
"This island… was once the set of a very popular Canadian T.V show… it was forced to shut down though… I don't know why…"
Her gaze drifted from me to the mansion and she slowly let go of my arm. But before I could leave, she pointed to something I hadn't seen before, a black book lying closed on the steps. I went over to pick it up and read the first page
'This is the Diary of Gwen Fahlenbock. If found please return it to Gwen immediately. If lost, fess up or else I will hunt you down and slit your throat! I'm talking to you Heather, Courtney, Alejandro, Cody, Sierra, Mal, Scott'
I looked down and found another name that appeared to be scribbled hastily next to the warning list
'And Noah!'
I placed the book down seeing as the owner clearly didn't want anyone reading it, whether to learn more about her or just for the fun of it. I turned around to continue talking with Erina, trying not to be rude, but I found she had disappeared. As I began to leave as well I noticed Kukuri looking at the mansion with great interest. I soon realized she was drawing it out on her sketchpad.
I leaned over her shoulder to get a better view of the sketch, and as expected, it was sketched to perfect accuracy.
"It's very pretty!"
Bad idea. Kukuri jumped in fright and threw her sketch book in my face with the force of Chuck Norris. Wailing in pain, I cradled my face as I flipped backwards and landed on my back, flopping like a fish out of water. Kukuri shrieked and helped me to my feet squealing repeatedly several apologies to her blunder.
"I-its fine Kukuri, really!"
"N-no, it really isn't! I could've hurt you badly!"
Ahh, but you did! Is what I wanted to say. But I restrained myself and saying in a very anti-Ryutaro manner
"I deserved it; I should've known not to sneak up on you like that! That drawing is really nice, though!"
Kukuri blushed and smiled a bit
"R-really?"
I nodded with sincerity
"Absolutely! Why, I don't think I've met anyone who could-"
"TIMBER!"
Those words were uttered by a thick Indian accent as the mansion collapsed completely. Standing amidst the rubble was Liam, or probably another Liam, this time his hair was all askew and a pencil sticking out of it. He held in his hands, blueprints and slowly began walking to me and the startled Kukuri.
He shook his head
"That will never do! I cannot build the perfect model with these designs!"
I tapped his shoulder, and without looking at me he said in a bored manner
"Hello my name is Pumbja Apakatanaket; I am the Super High School Level Architect and the newest personality of Liam Pierre Francis Lafayette De Chambeau Trouillefou. This is my first time in the outside world, now leave."
Pumbja Apakatanaket
SHSL Architect
Indian
I looked at him in shock, how many personalities does this kid have? I did exactly as he told me without much resistance, escorting Kukuri back to her cabin. After exiting, I went back to investigating.
Spontaneous Area Change:
Beach Area 1; Sergeant Chef's Boot Camp
Characters Present:
Hachi Shunaiko
Toy Kasse
Ramina Parker
Investigate Sergeant Chef's Boot Camp?
Yes
No
Well, this is… different! What was this place anyway?
"It was the location of a popular Canadian Game Show called Total Drama. It ran for ten seasons before it was shut down due to the Despair thingy caused by Junko Enoshima and her cohorts."
I turned only to see Hachi right next to me. Startled, I jumped and clutched my heart
"What the Hell dude?"
He smiled apologetically
"Ooops, did I frighten you? Sorry!"
I waved it off but continued to look at him in surprise
"How did you know what I was thinking?"
To that, the Jack-of-all-trades laughed
"Oh were you now? I didn't know that! I was trying to tell that to Toy and Ramina! They had never seen that show so they didn't know where we were! But I'm glad you heard, a lot less explaining for me to do!"
He chuckled again and walked away. I turned and saw Ramina and Hachi over by a set of destroyed planks of red and green wood. The two seemed to be giggling over nothing. I decided to approach them, which might have just been a mistake.
"Hellllllllllllloooooooooooooo theeeeeeerrrrrreeeee!"
"Hey, Nokoda!"
Ramina was jumping up and down as Toy smiled cutely at me. They signaled for me to come closer and, I admit, I was extremely hesitant. Something didn't quite click with those two, they seemed innocent enough, but… one can never be too careful around people like them.
I eventually threw away all those Takane thoughts and approached them cheerfully. After all, what could possibly go wrong!?
Spontaneous Area Change:
Hospital Tent
Characters Present:
Soft Hairy Thing
A Hot Kettle
Ashida's Boobs
Do you really want to open your eyes?
Yes
No
But you will, right?
Yes
No
I opened my eyes as if they were forced open by a mysterious force of energy willing my every movement and saw black… and soon realized what was causing this blackness. I also felt a burning heat on my left hand and a furry one on my right. Is this the gateway between Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell? Probably not.
I stirred and removed my hands from the unknown objects they were touching and used all of my strength on the black cloud that was blocking my vision and my lungs.
"He's alive! Is a miracle! I will a celebrate with some dinner!"
"You already made him your filthy soup. If we're giving him anything, it'll be one of my pastries."
"Boys, calm down!"
"Ohmygoshareyouokay!"
The black cloud lifted and it was soon found out that Ashida had had me in a position quite common in an anime. I took a long gasp of air and nearly passed out. I was seeing two Liams.
I rubbed my eyes and blinked in disbelief. I wasn't seeing things. Liam had sprouted two heads.
I nearly fainted.
"Do not be afraid, figlio! We do not a bite!"
The left one with a chef's hat said in a thick Italian accent. The right one, wearing a baker's hat, scoffed and muttered in a thick Russian accent
"At least, not strangers."
The left one laughed heartily and replied
"Oho! You are a very funny fellow!"
"Look who is talking. You are the one that bites more often."
"Hey now! At least I don't a bite harder!"
"At least I can withhold myself for more than five seconds!"
"YOU WOULD BE THE ONE TO WAIT FIVE A SECONDS AND AT THE SIXTH YOU WOULD SINK A YOUR TEETH INTO FLESH AND SAY YOU HELD IT LONGER FOR A MORE THAN FIVE SECONDS! YOU A SON OF A BITCH!"
"LOOK AT YOUR BIG MOUTH, YOU LITTLE BASTARD!"
"YOU WANNA GO?"
"BRING IT ON!"
And the two proceeded to bite each other in various places on till there body began quivering and they began to spin around faster than lightning. When they stopped, Liam stood there. Holding his head to stop the spinning.
"W-what happened?"
Tamiko reached for Liam's shoulder but grabbed his leg and proceeded to stroke it
"You were in one of your other personalities. There seemed to be two of them."
Liam awkwardly shifted away from Tamiko's accidental bad touch and inched closer to the bed next to mine. He held his forehead and collapsed on the bed, with an exaggerated gasp.
"Oh Mon Dieu! This is not good! Did Leonardo bite anyone? How was Leopold? Good? Bad? Ohohohohohoh! Nononononononono!"
Leonardo DiGiornio
SHSL Chef
Italian
and
Leopold Maloshitsky
SHSL Baker
Russian
Liam buried his face in his hands and began muttering in French. Ashida was now off of my bed and petting a Golden Retriever to the right of my bed. I realized that the dog was probably Tamiko's service dog. Suddenly remembered something about Liam.
"Liam, don't you change personalities when someone uses a triggering word?"
Liam nodded
"Oui, oui! Whenever someone says a word correlated to any one of my multiple artistic abilities!"
I nodded in assent and continued
"Well why did you just change back?"
Liam stroke his goatee in thought and sprung up as he came with an answer.
"At eight o'clock my personalities automatically shut off! That way, we can say for certain that I am the dominant personality!"
Eight O'clock huh? That's convenient! Wait a minute
I jumped out of the bed, startling the others.
"W-where are you going, monsieur?"
Without looking back or stopping I shouted
"I have to find Cocoa!"
Spontaneous Area Change:
Cocoa Law's Cabin
Characters present:
Cocoa Law
Do you want to enter Cocoa's room?
Yes
No
Stop sounding like a pervert
Are you going in or not?
Yes
No
"I was wondering what was taking so long."
Cocoa sat on an armchair in front of a blazing fireplace. His room was small and very messy for a lawyer's or at least what I though a lawyer was like. There were books lying out all over the place, the bed was unmade, and the bathroom door was open, revealing a very messy bathroom.
He beckoned me to sit on the bed. As I did so I caught a glimpse of the lawyer. He was sitting crisscross on the chair with a bathrobe on and a cup of hot chocolate in his hands. His hair was wet so I assumed he had just gotten out of the shower. He blew on his steaming mug and took a sip.
"Cocoa?"
His eyes were closed, so it took me a while to figure out he was talking to me. I shook my head
"No thanks."
"Suit yourself."
He blew once more and sipped from the cup. He looked up and opened his eyes, keeping them on the fire.
"Something is not right here."
I waited for him to continue
"Someone here isn't who they say they are."
He took another sip
"Watch them carefully, if you feel you can't trust someone you can't, understand?"
I nodded slowly, not sure how to respond.
"That's all."
I sat there in shock. That's not all, he's holding back
"There's something you aren't telling me, is there?"
He chuckled ominously
"If I could tell you I would. But that person has warned me not to. I suggest you leave with my advice in tow."
Not wanting to argue, I left Cocoa to himself, and walked straight to my cabin. Tomorrow would be another day.
Spontaneous Scene Change:
Monokuma Theatre
Lesson 1: Hope
Monokuma: Hope is a strong word children! You should make sure you use it in correct situations! Why, when I was a young bear, I didn't have a clue as to the power of hope! I was hungry and I told my mom I hoped she could make me some fish tacos! Well she made me fish tacos, but she used fish skin as a taco shell! It was still delicious but I've learned that I must specify what I mean before I hope for it!
Day 1,
End.
Sixteen students left.
Author's note
Phew! That was a handful! Took me what, two three weeks? I dunno, I forgot. I really need to make more time for my stories, especially TDID. I do have a lot of free time. Speaking of which, there is a poll on my bio for which characters you would like to see get a free time event! So you better hurry, cause I think I might give you guys one more chapter before a free time event! Also, UnleashTheDinosaurs has drawn up Toy, Nokoda, Ryutaro, Kasai, and Ashida, so if you want to get a visual aid, Deviantart is where you'll find them! Till next time!
