WARNINGS: SHE/HER PRONOUNS FOR Chihiro SINCE NO ONE KNOWS HIS GENDER YET
Komaru dropped Makoto off at HPA and said 'goodbye' which is really just her hugging Makoto until he couldn't breathe. "This is Hopes Peak? Looks alright I guess."
MAKOTO'S POV:
I walked towards the building, and I saw something rather strange a teddy bear. Are stuffed animals even allowed on school grounds? I'm not sure and nor do I care.
THIRD PERSON POV:
Makoto walked towards the teddy bear it was black and white it looked rather chubby "*SIGH* Who left you here?" of course, Makoto knows that stuffed animals can't talk but who knows in the future they might that is if survives till then. Makoto picked up the teddy bear and then..
And then... He felt tired "Wha-?" he didn't even get to finish his sentence as the sleepiness *THUD* Makoto fell to the ground clutching the teddy bear so it didn't get dirty, Makoto has developed a habit of putting someone else's belongings first either than himself. "HURRY UP!" Was he getting kidnapped?!...No..They just want the teddy bear Makoto decided.
MAKOTO'S POV:
I woke up in a classroom all by myself "Oh.." I guess I need to explore or some shit right? I opened the door to the classroom and looked left and right in the hallways "Jeez...This hallway is kind of weird, too." Well, for now I'll just head to the main hall, I shrugged and walked out.
By the time I got back to the main hall...everyone else was already there.
"Whoa hey! Another new kid?" "Ah, So you must be?" "Yeah... We're all new here. Todays supposed to be our first day of class."" So, counting him, that makes fifteen. Seems like a good cut-off point, but I wonder if this is everyone." Alright now that I found the 'Ultimate's' what to do now? I guess I should introduce myself then.. "My name's Makoto Naegi. Sorry I'm late. A bunch of stuff happened, and then all of a sudden, I was just...asleep." "Whoa, you too?
"Things just keep getting curiouser and curiouser..." I took the time to take everything in and just stared at whoever was talking and took in their appearance.
"So strange... I declare beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is a strange situation indeed!"
"Um...what are you talking about? I honestly have no idea what's going on right now."
"Just a moment! There's something else we must address!"
"Makoto! Your tardiness is unacceptable! Surely you were aware the meeting was to start at 8 a.m. sharp! To be late on your first day is unspeakable! I must report you, and you must accept your due punishment!"
"What's your problem? It's not like he wanted to be late. He didn't have any control over it."
"Everyone just calm down! Listen, why don't we all go around and introduce ourselves!" Yeah, hurry up and do it so we can leave.
"The hell!? Now's no time for friggin' introductions!" Ah the so called 'Ultimate Biker Gang Leader'? just say 'fucking' and get on with it.
"Maybe, but it may be good to at least find out who we all are before digging into the bigger problems here. I mean, how are we even supposed to talk to each other if we do not know each other's names?"
"That's a good point..." Oh Chihiro Fujisaki! The 'Ultimate Programmer'
"Okay, so let's get introductions out of the way, then we can move on to whatever else. Sounds good?" Then there's Sayaka.
"I'm Kiyotaka Ishimaru. I believe in bold simplicity! Let's work together on our educational crusade!
Anyway, you can call me Taka. You said your name was Makoto Naegi, right?"
"Yeah."
"That's a good name, a strong name! You should thank your parents for giving you such an excellent name." Yeah right thank my parents my ass.
"And to keep that name from losing its value, you must devote yourself every single day!","Life is worth putting every ounce of effort into it! Right? Right!"
This guy is so annoying.
"N-not that you'll remember my n-name anyway, but…"
"I'm T-Toko... Toko Fukawa.
Wh-What? I-It's not polite to stare, you know."
"Stop staring at me like I'm some filthy creature!","Filthy creature? No, I just thought-"
"I-I know what you "just" thought...! You just thought you've n-never seen such an ugly woman. You just th-thought it was sooo funny...!"
"No, that's not what I was thinking at all." Did this girl really just cut me off?'Whatever, I'll let it off the hook this time.'
"Don't bother trying to l-lie to me! I know it's true. Otherwise, you... I know you can't stand looking at me!"
"I wasn't lying."
"Wh-Whatever, I don't really care. I'm used to it."
Wow, talk about an inferiority complex. I was waaay off about what a successful author would be like."
"Hi, I'm Sayaka Maizono. I look forward to getting to know you!" Ah that's good she doesn't seem to remember me.
No matter how you slice it, she's really beautiful. Almost like a doll or something
Too bad her heart's really ugly.
"I'm not a doll, you know. I'm alive!"
"Huh? Did you hear me?" I made the tone of my voice match what a somewhat normal reaction would be…
"I'm psychic."
"Huh?" I know she's joking but I guess it's better if I play along.
"Kidding! I just have really good intuition."
I guess if I was normal I would have laughed with her
"Huh? Hey, by any chance…" Oh did she notice?
"Now what?"Am I sweating?
"...Yeah, it must be. I'm sure of it. Hey, Makoto. Did-"
Sayaka didn't get to finish her sentence when Taka interrupted, which I'm thankful for. Moving on!
"Yo! The name's Leon Kuwata. What's up?"
"You? Seriously?" Him? Leon Kuwata? It's believable but at the same time it really isn't.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just...surprised. I figured with you being the Ultimate Baseball Star and all.","What, were you expecting some kid with a shaved head?"
"Shaved head? No, I was just expecting more of a, you know, sporty-looking traditional baseball player type. I mean, when I found that article and picture of you online, that's how you looked then."
"What!? Aw man, you found that picture of me playing baseball? Seriously!? I hate that picture!"
"This is not cool. This is SO not cool... Seriously, I'm like, mega embarrassed right now. I didn't have a choice, okay? Shaving your head like that is part of national championship regulations!"
"But now I refuse to cut my hair. And I'm not gonna dye it back to normal either! Actually, can I be totally honest with you?"
"I don't like baseball. Like, at all. I've never gone to a single practice."
He's never practiced, and he was still his team's star player? He's some kind of prodigy… It's natural I guess.
"And as soon as I got accepted here, I quit baseball for good! I have my own dream for the future!"
"A dream for the future?"
"My only path in life is getting into music! You can feel that star-quality aura I have, right?"
"I'm gonna be a singer, so all I need is a songwriter and someone on guitar, and we're set!"
"This new version of me that's chasing after my dream is, like...super cool to the max!"
I can't believe what I'm hearing. I never imagined I'd hear something like that from a baseball all-star… Well, good luck!
"I...am Hifumi Yamada. But if you want to call me by my nickname, 'The Alpha and the Omega!' I don't mind." Yeah no.
"By the way, how much do you know about the 'world of 2D art'?"
"'World of 2D'? Oh! Like the Manga Komaru used to tell me about?"
"'Komaru'? Whatever, I am well known and supremely well regarded as the Ultimate Fanfic Creator."
"I once sold 10,000 copies of one of my fan comics at a school festival. The event has passed into legend…"
"Some of them didn't get it, of course, saying I'd "tainted" the event. How stupid can you be!?
That's too bad about them. But selling 10,000 copies like that is definitely pretty remarkable. Just thinking about selling 10,000 dead bodi- nevermind.
"The words of such idiots mean nothing to me. I am like Van Gogh-utterly underappreciated in my time. I am a soldier, serving night and day to destroy all mindless preconceptions about fan fiction. I'm sure if you were to observe my work, Mr. Naegi, you would comprehend its greatness immediately."
"For my work is filled with the deepest meaning…"
"What kind of meaning?"
"It's about embracing our basest urges…"
I don't think I want to comprehend it...
"Name's Mondo Owada. Nice to fuckin' meetcha."
Mondo Owada,? Which means..
He's the current leader of the largest biker gang in Japan. He's earned respect, awe, from every gang in the country. He's the Ultimate Biker Gang Leader...
"Nice to meet you, too."
"Hell yeah."
I'd better be careful around him. One wrong word and I could wake up at the bottom of the sea…Not that I really care.
"Hiii! I'm Junko Enoshima. Charmed, I'm sure!"
Anybody would recognize her.
She's got more charm and presence than any high school girl in the country. She's the Ultimate Fashionista. I've seen her on tons of magazine covers, but...
"I feel like that doesn't quite match up to reality."
"Huh...?"
"Oh, are you talking about my cover photos and junk?"
"Ahaha, well of course! Those are totally photoshopped."
"Photoshopped?"
"Yeah, you know-edited to hell and back. With things like computers and junk?"
"Oh."
"Come on, don't act so surprised! You're gonna make me all depressed."
"It's totally normal these days to photoshop the crap out of cover photos. If you're surprised by that, you'd be totally blown away by a certain dangerous little diva of ours…"
"They make the eyes and junk super big, and tweak the skin so it looks all ceramic and porcelain."
"Oh."
Any fan who met her in real life would surely have their hearts broken.
"Can I ask you your name?"
" ...My name is...Kyoko Kirigiri."
"Um, so...what are you doing at this school?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"No, I just meant... Getting invited here means you're some kind of 'Ultimate' something, right? So what ultimate something are you?"
"...Why should I tell you?"
"Well...I guess you don't have to tell me."
"No, I *don't* have to tell you. So I'm not going to."
Her face is like an iron mask. If she doesn't want to tell me anything, no point in asking.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Chihiro Fujisaki…"
"Sorry, I get kinda embarrassed whenever I introduce myself like this…"
"Anyway, I hope we can get along…"
"Same here. Nice to meet you."
"...Huh? Maybe it's just my imagination, but...have we met before?"
"I don't think so. We just met for the first time. Which is why I said 'nice to meet you.'."
"Oh, yeah. Good point. Sorry…"
"You don't have to apologize for that."
"Oh, yeah…"
"Hey, so listen…"
"I-I'm really sorry."
"What are you apologizing for now?"
"Well, just cuz...you seem upset. You must be mad at me, right?"
"No, not at all! I was just lost in thought about something."
"Huh? Lost in thought...?"
"Yeah! It had nothing to do with me being upset or anything."
"Oh, that's good. I was afraid maybe you didn't like me."
"Hehe... I'm glad!"
I'm starting to understand why her fans are so into her.
"Heya! I'm Aoi Asahina! But my friends just call me Hina. 'Sup?"
The Ultimate Swimming Pro.
"So uh...what was your name again? Sorry, I totally forgot!"
"Makoto Naegi."
"Oh yeah, I knew it was something like that!"
"No, not "something" like that. It *is* that."
"Sure, sure, got it! Here, I'll hammer it into my brain right now!"
"Makoto...Naegi... Makoto...Naegi…"
She just kept repeating my name and moving her finger across her palm like she was writing something. Does she know how to spell it or does she need help with it?
"What are you doing?"
"You don't know? If you wanna remember someone's name, you gotta write it on your hand three times!"
"I've never heard of that before in my life."
"Hey, by the way...how do you spell your last name?"
"You spell it exactly like it sounds."
"Umm...Well, I have no idea. Hahaha! I'll just figure it out later and write it down."
"Anyway, glad to meet ya!"
"Sure, same here."
Well, one thing I learned is she's totally easygoing and bursting with energy. She might be crazy too.
'I am Sakura Ogami.""Hey, you.""Yes?"
I snapped to attention without even realizing it. Then she started to poke and prod at my body...
"What are you doing?" Is this her form of Checking if I'm good enough to eat?
"Muscular quality and quantity is right around that of an extremely ordinary high school student…"
" Hmph. What a shame. You're not at all fit to act as my training partner."
*Sigh*Such a shame for me...
"Name's Byakuya Togami."
"Hi,nice to meet you."
"..."
That's the most half-assed introduction I've ever heard.
"We're done with introductions, right? How much longer are you going to stand there? Go away. I'm sick of looking at you."
His aura says to me, "You and I will never stand on the same level." Like a king in training…
"I'm Yasuhiro Hagakure--Hiro for short! Take it easy, yeah? I know I will!"
Yasuhiro Hagakure, known as "Supernova" in the psychic community. The trend-setting Ultimate Clairvoyant... Honestly, I don't really get all that fortune-telling stuff. It's pretty much beyond me. Still, I can't help wondering if there's any truth to it.
"Ahh... Okay, I give up."
"Huh? What happened?"
"I saw it. I looked right at it... Seriously, I totally saw it!"
"Saw what?"
"A guardian angel with a crazy perm chasing after Bigfoot running off with a skyfish in its mouth. And that guardian angel...is YOUR guardian angel!"
"Nah, I'm just kiddin'. But hey, we should grab some brewskis sometime and get real deep into Lemuria and its civilization."
"What? We're not allowed to drink! We're in high school!"
"Oh, I'm actually 21. I've been held back a few times, see, and...well, it's a long story."
A few times...? Yeah, I bet that *is* a long story.
"I do not think we have been introduced. I am Celestia Ludenburg."
"Celestia...Luden...huh?"
"Ludenburg. It is my name. But if you don't mind, I would prefer for you to call me Celeste."
"Um...you *are* Japanese, right?"
"Of course. Why do you ask?"
"If you don't mind...could you tell me your real name?"
"Heh-heh. I don't know what you are talking about. Celestia Ludenburg *is* my real name. But as I mentioned, I would much rather you call me Celeste."
She's polite, but pretty forceful at the same time. I don't think she wants to say any more about it... I guess the rumors in that thread were right about her...
The self-styled "Celestia Ludenburg," she's the Ultimate Gambler who's never lost a bet. Other than her obvious love of gothic lolita clothes, everything about her is wrapped in a veil of lies. They say she entered and won an underground gambling tournament, earning the title "Queen of Liars." She totally cleaned out the other players, taking their life savings and laughing as she did it.
"I look forward to getting to know you better."
"Heh-heh-heh…"
'That smile is beyond deceptive. I'd better watch myself around her…
And with that, all the introductions are done. Hmm... Even though they're all 'ultimate,' they each have their own individual sort of...um...something.'
"Okay, time to get down to business. This is no time to stand around making friends like a bunch of dull-eyed baboons." Togami Stated
"Oh, that's true. I think someone said something about a bigger problem or something? What was that about?"
"Well, you see…" Sayaka began,
"Makoto, you said a bunch of stuff happened and then you were 'just asleep,' right? Well, the same is true for all of us."
"What? Seriously!?" 'I doubt that all of us saw the bear and decided to return it to its owner'
"ust after each of us got to the main hall, we lost consciousness. And when we came to, we were somewhere here in the school! That's what happened to you right?"
"But that's just...weird! That every one of us would get knocked out like that…"
"Exactly! That's why we're all freakin' out!"
"And that's not the only thing. You saw where all the windows in the classes and hallways were, right?"
"But instead of normal glass windows, it was a bunch of big metal plates! What's that about!?:
"Plus, all my stuff's missing! Even my cell phone…" Junko complained
"Yeah, you're right. I haven't seen my PDA anywhere, either…"
"And then there's the main hall here. The front exit is completely blocked by some giant metal hatch."
"But there wasn't anything like that when I first got here...!"
"What the heck!? What's it doing there!?" - Taka
"Maybe we got caught up in some kinda, like, you know...crime or something?" -Junko
"What, like...a kidnapping? You think maybe someone grabbed us and hauled us off and we're not actually at school?" - Leon
"Come on, don't think like that. Cheer up! I bet this is all just part of the school's orientation procedure." - Hiro
"Yeah, I'm sure that's it! So I'm just gonna take it easy for a little bit." That's a stupid thing to do in a situation like this." -Hiro
"Oh... So you think they wanted to do something to surprise us?" Alright so we're listening to the idiot? - Chihiro
"Huh. Well if that's all it is, it's nap time for me." - Leon *SIGHS*
"I was up way too late last night, so I could use a little shuteye." -Leon
I can feel everyone's tension evaporating...
But then...it began.
*Ding dong, bing bong*
"Ahem! Ahem! Testing, testing! Mike check, one two! This is a test of the school broadcast system! Am I on? Can everyone hear me? Okay, well then...!"
'The voice seemed totally out of place. It was so playful, so completely unconcerned... I couldn't help but feel a deep, unnerving dread at the sound of it. It was like hearing someone laugh at the scene of an accident.'
"Ahh, to all incoming students! I would like to begin the entrance ceremony at...right now! Please make your way to the gymnasium at your earliest convenience. ...That's all. I'll be waiting!"
"..What. The. Hell was that just now?"
"Well then, if you'll excuse me…" Togami just left good luck I guess.
"H-Hey! What, you're gonna take off just like that!?"
:"Ohh yeah, now I get it! This whole thing was just to get us all pumped for the entrance ceremony!" NO YOU IDIOT!
"Man, thank god it was all a joke. I'd be totally freaked if this was real!" IT IS REAL!
"Alright, guess I'll head out too. Wonder what they got planned for us next…" Then the idiot left.
"Damn, I was totally looking forward to that nap too. Why'd they have to go and kill the mood?" Then Kuwats leaves.
"W-Wait for me! I wanna go with you!".. Finally then we all left.
AFTER THEY MET MONOKUMA AND STUFF(Aki is to lazy to write all that):
"Is somebody going to betray us?"
"You must kill someone if you want to leave." My mind froze and my breath caught in my throat as I thought about that... I could feel a paralyzing fear slowly making its way through my body, dominating every last nerve. The air hung heavy on me, pressing down like a weight around my neck. It took everything I had just to endure that weight...
But for as heavy as the air felt... all it took to pierce it was her sharp words.
"So? What are you going to do now? Just stand around glaring at each other? Her pointed comment was directed at everyone in the room. It helped pull us back to reality."
"R-Right... She's right!"
"Sometimes, even if you're nervous or afraid, you just have to step forward!" Yeah no that's not going to work in a place like this.
"To forget such a simple fact... I can't forgive myself. I'm so ashamed! Please, someone hit me! I can't forgive myself! Somebody hit me! Punish me!". Alrighty, who wants to hit Taka today?
"Jesus. If you have time to yell about it, you have time to DO something about it." "Perhaps, but...what is the mission, exactly?"
"Idiot! To look for a way out, duh!"
"And we totally need to find out whoever was controlling that stupid bear and beat the hell out of 'em!"
"...B-But before we do all that, maybe we should take a look at the handbook... It's probably best to check out the school regulations Monokuma mentioned before doing anything else!"
"True. If we stumble around with no clue what the rules are, something like that might happen again…"
"Shit…"
"Fine. Then let's hurry up and check out the stupid rules already!"
After turning on my e-Handbook, the first thing that appeared was my name. So just like Monokuma said, the owner's name showed up front and center. Then, from the Main Menu that popped up, I selected the School Regulations icon.
An itemized list appears on-screen. It was the school regulations. In other words, the rules being imposed on us all.
1. Students may reside only within the school. Leaving campus is an unacceptable use of time.
2. "Nighttime" is from 10pm to 7am Some areas are off-limits at night, so please exercise caution.
3. Sleeping anywhere other than the dormitory will be seen as sleeping in class and punished accordingly.
4. With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore Hope's Peak Academy at your discretion.
5. Violence against Headmaster Monokuma is strictly prohibited, as is destruction of surveillance cameras.
6. Anyone who kills a fellow student and becomes "blackened" will graduate, unless they are discovered.
7. Additional school regulations may be added as necessary.
" Hey, um...I have a question. For regulation number six...what do you think it means exactly?" Sayaka then broke the silence
"You're talking about the second half, right? Where it says 'unless they are discovered'? I was wondering about that myself." I really wasn't just to make sure I sound normal.
"It's saying that if you want to graduate, you have to kill someone without anyone finding out it was you."
"B-But why...? Why do we h-have to do that?"
"I don't see any reason to worry about it. Just worry about following the rules as they've been explained to us."
"Frankly, I don't want to hear anything from someone who waits for others to decide what to do for them?"
"D-Don't jab at me…"
"More like a full-on stab…"
"Well for now, let's forget all that silly junk about murderers or whatever.
"Now that we know the rules, let's start exploring the school!"
"True. We need to find out where exactly we are. Is there any way out? What about food and supplies?"
"There are tons of questions we need to answer!"
"Damn straight! Okay, then let's all start looking around!"
"...I'll be going alone." Byakuya's statement seemed to shock the whole room.
"What!? Why? That's a pretty stupid idea, don't you think?"
"Someone here might already have started thinking about murdering one of us. Are you saying we should stand around with them in our midst and make it that much easier for them?"
"W-Wait, hold on a second. That would never-!"
"Don't bother saying it couldn't happen. You can't deny the possibility. That's why you all seized up with fear when that graduation rule was made clear to you."
"Am I wrong?"
"B-But..."
"So, I'm simply acting in accordance with what I think is best for me."
"Hold on! Like hell I'm gonna let you run off and do whatever you want!"
"Out of my way, plankton."
"Wh-!? The fuck's that supposed to mean!?"
"One tiny bit of plankton, drifting across the sea. So minuscule, so insignificant, they couldn't possibly have any kind of influence on the boundless ocean."
"I'm gonna kick your ass!"
"Stop it. We shouldn't fight." I mean I really could care less and watch y'all fight but I'm not sure the others will enjoy it though.
"The fuck you just say? You some kinda goody-goody little bitch?"
"Who do you think you are, talkin' to me like that? You think you're my fuckin' dad or something!?"
"No, you're just behaving like rabid dogs or some shit.". Oops my bad.
Everyone in the room let out a loud gasp when I said that."Oh my bad I didn't mean to say that.",
"Carry on with the fight then." "Nevermind Togami, I'll let you off the hook this time." I guess what I did worked.
After They all shared what the found and headed to the dorms:
Makoto took off his jacket and shirt to reveal his binder "..." he stared at it before getting dressed and heading to his bead and flopped down he was ready to go to sleep until someone knocked on the door he got up, went to the door, and opened it to reveal; Sayaka "Oh hello Sayaka!", "hehe.. Hello Makoto." "I actually have a question for you!" ,"Oh? Ask away then!" Makoto already knew what it was but rather have Sayaka ask him things so he doesn't seem suspicious.
"Makoto...did you happen to go to Blackroot Junior High? Were you maybe...in class 2?"
"Yeah, actually...I was." A plain simple answer for an 'ultimate' "Ah I knew it!" 'What is she happy for?'
"Well actually I wanted to apologize to you for making everything up and ruining your whole life!" Sayaka started to cry when apologized to Makoto. Makoto on the other hand accepted this apology because he knew Sayaka was just trying to fit in. "Thank you, Makoto!"," Oh and don't worry I'll keep your secret!" Makoto already knew she would. "Hahaha! Thanks, Sayaka!" and with that Sayaka left him alone. Makoto began fiddling with his room when he came across the biggest painting in the room and shaked it the painting then opened a hatch next to his bed that Makoto had failed to notice. "Oh."
!Ak iwill finish this when Aki feels like it cuz Aki has lost motivation and is tired! !SO DON'T PRESSURE AKI INTO WRITING AKI'S HANDS HURT!
