(AN) Hey guys it's me, I'm back with a new chapter! And just before Halloween! I hope you guys like this.

TDDS: Despair? What Despair? Day 3
(Warning for swears and Mentions of death.)

Cody's POV

Why are you doing this!?...game...what's going...everyone hold your...despair.

I woke up once more from a nightmare, I still could not pinpoint the voices but I knew that they were worried. Though some voices sounded outright malicious. Then the Daily announcement began again.

"Attention students! A new day has begun, strive to be the very best that no one ever was!"

Oh well, might as well go to breakfast.

I got dressed and headed towards the Cafeteria, surprisingly I was the last to arrive.

"It's about time you showed up pipsqueak, your girlfriend was about to make a search party for you!" Jo said. "Cody you've made it!" Sierra exclaimed. "So what were you guys talking about?" I asked.

"We were simply discussing our findings from yesterday." Cameron pointed out. "We were also trying to explain to Jo that there is no escape."

"That's what you guys think!" Jo remarked. "No it's what you don't want to believe." Heather commented. "But why do you guys want to leave?" asked Lindsay. "What the F*ck do you mean by that?" Jo said exasperated. "Well we have food, and a spa! And if we can only leave by killing someone why, I don't know, why even try?" Everyone was stunned at Lindsay's explanation. "Well...um...Wait what do you mean by spa?" Jo couldn't really say anything about that.

"Blondie's right, we're stuck here until someone dies or help comes." Anne Maria added. Which means you guys should kill each other already! A voice called out of nowhere.

"Oh it's the dumb Bear again!" Katie yelled, she pointed at the end of the table where Monokuma sat at.

"Yup, it's me, it's me. Now what I want to know is why none of you died yet! I mean you're all greedy young adults, there should at least be two dead bodies by now! Monokuma said. "I apologize, but we cannot allow that!" Brick told the bear. "He's right, there's no way you can get us to kill each other!" Bridgette added. Yells of agreement came after.

Hmph, that's what you think. But remember there's no one coming, there's no escape, and you have no idea if someone is planning murder right at this moment! Well toodles bastards! Monokuma ran out the cafeteria once more.

"What a sad, strange little bear." Trent said. "As if he could make sha! Lightning kill someone!" Lightning announced. "Ooh I just got a cool idea, why don't we all have a spa day!" Lindsay interrupted. "And why on earth, pray-tell, should we do that?" Noah asked Lindsay.

"Well, it would totally help us relax and being stuck inside forever is definitely not good for your skin! So if we have a spa day that should, like, totally help us relax!" Lindsay explained. "Well, I definitely wouldn't mind spending another day in the Bathhouse." Anne Maria added. Murmurs of agreement followed around the table.

"Oh Katie we should totally have a spa day!" Sadie said. "You're like, totally right Sadie!" Katie said. "Technically the Bathhouse is not a spa!" Cameron pointed out. "Techninicalities, OMG that's a really hard word to say! Tenicalilities! Techinicalities? Tehchinalities?" Lindsay commented.

"Maybe Lindsay's right? I mean it would take any pressure off." Zoey added. "Fine, we'll have a spa day!" Jo said. "But it should be tomorrow, I have a busy schedule after all!"

"Then it's agreed, we will all participate in a spa day, tomorrow!" Brick announced. "It's still just called a bathhouse!" Cameron said. In the end almost everyone decided to participate in a spa day, though some decided not to. I guess I have the whole day by myself-never mind Sierra is joining me again. Anyway may as well hang out with some of my fellow contestants.

Free-Time Events Start!

Everyone has left the cafeteria, except for three. Lindsay, Trent, and Mike still remained, I guess I should talk to them. Who should I check out first?"Hey Sierra, who do you think we should talk to?" I asked her. "Oh, well...how about..." (Lindsay/Mike/Trent)

(Lindsay/Mike/Trent)

"Let's check if Mike's Better!" She answered. "Ok." We proceeded to walk over to a table at the far corner of the cafeteria. Mike was there by himself, though his hair was straight up. "Hey Mike, how are you?" I asked. "Oh hey..." He answered meekly.

Free Time with Mike Start!

"So Mike, or is it Mal?"-Cody
"No, it's me..."-Mike
"Oh, so is Mal Causing trouble for you?"-Sierra
"Yea, I guess..."-Mike
(Mike barely paid attention to us and just stared solemnly at the corner of the cafeteria.)
"Is something bothering you?"-Cody
"No, I just want to be left alone right now."-Mike
"Oh, okay"-Cody
"I don't really feel like talking to anyone, sorry."-Mike
"Oh it's okay."-Sierra
(Mike then got up from his chair.)
"I have to go right now, sorry."-Mike
(Mike then left the cafeteria.)
"I feel bad that we couldn't do anything..."-Cody
"Don't worry Cody, he's just going through some things!"-Sierra
"Yeah, you're probably right..."-Cody

Free Time with Mike End!

"I guess we should see if Trent or Lindsay want to talk."

(Lindsay/Mike/Trent)

"Let's go hangout with Trent!" I said. We went over to the table Trent was at. He was strumming his guitar and several music sheets laid next to him. "Hey, Trent how's it going dude!" I said. "Oh hey guys, what's up!" He answered.

Free Time with Trent Start!

"So Trent what's up, what're you writing?"- Cody
"Oh, it's just something new, I just had an idea for a song."- Trent
"Oh really! Can we listen?"- Sierra
"Oh sure, if you want."-Trent
"Come on, show us what you got!"-Cody
"Ok, if you want."-Trent
(Trent played us a few songs on his guitar for us, he seemed to have wrote at least two I haven't heard of yet. Sierra stared at him like she was analyzing every movement of his performance. After eight minutes, he finished his last song.)
"So what do you guys think?"-Trent
"It was great!"-Sierra
"Yeah, reminds me when we used to play together!"-Cody
"Yeah, I always wanted to ask..."-Trent
(Trent blushed a little.)
"Are you angry we replaced you with Sasquatchanakwa?"-Trent
"Don't worry, I needed a break from the band anyway!"-Cody
"Oh, well sorry anyway..."-Trent
"Yeah, don't worry about it. Anyway I think we should move on, it was nice hanging out with you!"-Cody
"Yeah, bye Trent!"-Sierra
"See you guys later!"-Trent

Free Time with Trent End!

"Well that's was fun, I guess we should go talk to Lindsay!" I said. "Sure, I think she's having trouble with something!" Sierra said pointing at the table Lindsay sat at. She looked to be(surprisingly) in deep thought at her ID-Card.

(Lindsay/Mike/Trent)

Free Time with Lindsay Start!

"Hey Lindsay what's up!"-Cody
"..."-Lindsay
"We were wondering if you had any plans for the spa day!"-Sierra
"..."-Lindsay
"Lindsay?"-Cody
"..."-Lindsay
"LINDSAY!"-Sierra
"Ah! Oh, hey Cameron and Susan!"-Lindsay
(For someone who ignored us for a good minute, she seems awful attentive now... wait did she just call me Cameron?)
"What're you doing Lindsay?"-Cody
"Ooh, I'm taking care of Princess!"-Lindsay
"Who?"-Cody
"My bear!"-Lindsay
"Your what?"-Sierra
"I believe she's talking about her virtual Monokuma!"-Monokuma
"Dammit it's you again!"-Cody
"Whoa, Whoa what's with the language! You shouldn't talk to your host like that! :0"-Monokuma
"Did you just say Colon, and zero?"-Sierra
"Yup, that's what happens when you bastards rile me up! Now as I was saying, Lindsay here is playing with her virtual Monokuma! Lindsay would you mind showing your fellow contestants you ID-card."-Monokuma
"Oh, Okay!"-Lindsay
(Lindsay did as she was told and showed us the screen. It showed a tiny sprite of a Monokuma in diapers crawling in a pixelized room. On the side it had two groups of digital hearts and skulls in the 'HOPE' and 'DESPAIR' sections accordingly. Below it, it said "Until next Growth!" and "Number of Steps Taken!".)
"It's like a Tamagachi! Except this one isn't awful cause it has me! Oh and Lindsay, maybe you should walk to the gym so your pet can grow!"-Monokuma
"Good Idea, Bye guys!"- Lindsay
(Lindsay got up and then quickly got out of the cafeteria.)
"Well I guess we should leave now..."-Sierra
"But shouldn't you be going to the Gym for a special assembly?"-Monokuma
"What do you mean?"-Cody
"Oh silly me, I forgot to make the Announcement!"- Monokuma
(Monokuma then dashed out of the dining hall.)

Free Time with Lindsay End!

*Bing Bong Ding Dong!* Attention Contestants! Please report to the Gym for a very special announcement!

"Well that can't be good." Sierra said. "Do you think we really have to-"

BZZT-Yes you Bastards have to attend or Face Punishment!-BZZT

"Oh, I guess we should go now." I said. So Sierra and I ran to the Gym for the special announcement. Almost everyone was there already, except for a few.

"Hey guys did you hear the Announcement?" I asked them. "Yeah, we came hear in a hurry I think!" Bridgette replied.

There was twelve people in the Gym, including me and Sierra. Bridgette, Trent, Brick, Lindsay, Sadie, Katie, Mike, Cameron, Zoey, and B. "Come on Guys get to moving!" I heard Izzy yell outside. She came in dragging Eva and Noah into the Gym. "Izzy you're going to break Noah's Arm off." Eva said. "Then he should've stopped resisting two minutes ago!"
Izzy responded, before cackling loudly.

Anne Maria calmly walked, just barely dodging Lightning and Jo racing into the Gym. "Hey you two, watch where you're going!" "Hah- I beat- hah-you!" Jo said in gasps of air. "Nuh-uh, Sha! Lightning doesn't lose to anybody!" "You just did!" Jo responded.

Finally Heather and Alejandro came in, and simply ignored everyone. Then the doors slammed shut behind them, catching everyone of guard.

It's about time all you bastards Finally showed up! Now I hope you guys are excited for the special announcement! Monokuma aid on the rebuilt stage.

"Okay tell us why you made us come here Teddy Sux-pin!" Jo yelled at the bear.

"Well 1. Think of something better than that, cause someone already called me that name! And 2. I decided to fix your guy's 'Not killing' problem!" He said.

"What do you mean by fix?" Trent asked.

"Glad you asked, because I decide to prepare you all a very special...Motive!"

"A motive?" Zoey said worriedly.

Yup, if you won't kill each other by your own, I'll just convince you all to kill each other! He answered.

"Well I really doubt you can do that!" Brick said. Several murmurs of agreement followed.

"Well have a load of... this!" Monokuma said pulling out something out from behind his back. In his right paw he held several white envelopes, and in his left he held several red ones. "I want you all to get one white, and one red envelope! You can open the white ones hear, but if you open the red one anywhere else but your room or in front of someone, then I'll punish you aka kill you!"

He proceeded to hand a pair of envelopes to every single person in the Gym. Once I got mine, I opened it up to find...a photo. It was of a lounge, it took me some seconds to figure out it was a picture of the playa de Losers. I flipped it over to find some writing in black marker. It read "Mysteries, Mysteries, is it the answer that you seek?"

"You may now all go to your rooms and open the red envelopes! I hope you like what you see! Toodles Bastards!" He said before scurrying off.

"What the hell is this picture supposed to make me kill someone!?" Jo said. "It's just a pic of Sha-Lightning's Trophy Collection!" "Ooh Sadie look it's a picture of my parents!" "No way I got one too!"

Everyone seemed to be confused with their pictures and gradually left the Gym. "Hey Sierra,would you mind if I went to my room alone?" I asked her. "Huh? Why?" She asked. "Well, I kind of want to open my envelope right now." "Oh, okay I guess it's already seven so sure!" "Thanks! See you tomorrows!" I said. "No problem Cody!" She said, then we parted ways.

I walked down the hall to my bedroom, until I stopped. I saw something glimmering on the floor, I bent down and picked it up. It was a gold token that had Monokuma's face on it. This must be one of those monocoins Monokuma mentioned. I noticed several more monocoins along the floor. Well I guess that I should check out that store now that I have the currency.

I went through the black and white double doors and into the store, inside it was carpeted and had red wallpaper. Monokuma sat behind a counter, several miscellaneous items were stacked onto shelves, it looked like a prize corner at a Chuck 'E' Cheese.

"Well hey there Cody! Looking to buy some of my wares?" the bear said. "Sure, what can I get for like, one, two-four Monocoins?" I asked.

"Well for that you can try the Mystery Box or get this nifty pen!" He answered, holding up a black pen that had his head at the end of it.

"What's the Mystery box?" "See that Box on the wall, slip in two coins to get a tiny paper that will get you one of these many great items! You have four monocoins, so you can use the machine twice!"

"I guess I'll try it..." I followed Monokuma's suggestion and inserted two coins. The box rumbled before spitting out a piece of paper from it's slot. I gave the paper to Monokuma and he read it outloud. "Eggplant, high-five, and rain!" He proceeded to go to the back and picked up something form the shelf, it was a Blue Journal.

"Here you go! Would you like to make another Purchase?" I decided to do it again, and brought up the second paper to him. "Heart Eyes, Birthday Cake, and Fire!" He went to the shelves and picked up a purple camera. He then bagged the journal and camera and threw in a pen along them.

"Thank you for purchasing from the Mono-Store! We hope you enjoy your items and free pen(Available with every purchase!) please come back when you have more monocoins Cody Anderson." Monokuma said in a stiff way. "Now get out!" He said with more emotion.

I finally got to my room, at least I have something to record my nightmares in case I forget them. But what do I do with the camera? Maybe I should give it to Someone else? Oh crap! I forgot that photo Monokuma gave us!

I pulled out the red envelope from my pocket and tore it open. I pulled out a second photo and...what? It was the playa again but completely wrecked. And more horrifically, the whole room was covered in splatters of blood. I checked the back and saw in red writing..."To know what happened to your life, take another's with a knife. I will grant you your request, but only with the payment of another's death!"

Bing Bong, Ding Dong! "Attention students, it is now Nighttime! The cafeteria is now closed, so please go to your designated rooms. Have a good night's sleep!"
