Chapter 2, Who is this bear and why is it talking?
Everyone turned around and looked at the large bear sitting on stage and when I looked at everyone around me they just looked utterly confused at the bear on stage. The black and white bear suddenly spoke up and startled a few people in the room, not sure how though because the bear had spoken not even a minute ago.
“Hello everybody! Glad you could all join all of us here at your new school life.” I looked confused at the bear, this did not seem like the school we were accepted to, the others around me looked either just as confused or really annoyed. The bear must have noticed the confusion, and annoyance, from everyone and decided to continue.
“I can see you’re all confused, well I guess let me have my turn of an introduction! I am Monokuma and I am the headmaster of your new school life!!” My eyes widened ever so slightly, Headmaster? This couldn’t be my father nor did it sound like my father at all. I was right about how this wasn’t the same school as we all got acceptance letters for.
“What do you mean you’re the headmaster?! You’re a large fucking talking stuffed bear, I cannot believe a stuffed bear could even try to take care of a school and where the fuck are we?! I was accepted by that chicks father over there not your dumb bear ass.” Mondo said loudly, his face turning a bit red from rage.
“Now now now! No need to bombard me with questions!! I will only answer one because you can answer all the others yourself if you used that thick skull of yours~.” Monokuma said, i could just hear the smirk in his voice, bigger then the smile on his bear face. He continued on once everyone was paying full attention.
“You all are in Hope’s Peak Academy! Though the only difference is that you can’t leave..” My eyes widened once more at the last part he said and Monokuma put a paw over his mouth.
“Oopies, I wasn’t suppose to tell you guys that~ well too late now!” I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, I had no reason to panic yet, this could just be how the school works for all I know, this didn’t seem like my father's school at all though.
“What the fuck do you mean we can’t leave? I better be able to leave.” Mondo spoke out once again, this boy was going to get himself into a lot of bad situations from how he keeps reacting. I looked at him and before I could speak up to tell him he should stop someone else spoke up.
“I think it would be wise for you to shut it. The bear could possibly kill you if you don’t knock it off.” Togami said, his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes sending death glares at Mondo, Mondo looked like he was about ready to fight togami. Seriously, what is his problem? I understand he’s a Martial artist but he doesn’t need to try to fight everyone that his eyes land on.
“Hey, hey, HEY. There is no fighting allowed here!!” Monokuma’s voice suddenly boomed out at us reminding us that someone was just speaking. Mondo crossed his arms and turned back towards Monokuma and Togami seemed proud with himself. There are just rude people left and right in this school, it is high school though so people like that are expected.
“Now then, All you must do today is just spend your time looking around! I’ll tell you more tomorrow of what your school life will be like!” Monokuma laughed, I started to turn around to leave but suddenly Monokuma spoke up again.
“Oh yes! I almost forgot about something!” Everyone was passed out a small tablet item suddenly, when I turned on the tablet i received; my name showed up right in the middle of the screen.
“These are your ID Cards, they are like info holders for the many things you will need for your time at this school! When turning it on your name should be shown right away, if you do not have the right tablet please find the correct one!” No one moved after he said this, everyone got the right one i’m assuming. Monokuma continued on, “Eh-hem, Now before you all look around your new school I would like you to read the rules real quickly! Rules are always needed in all schools of any sort. Once you are done you may go on your merry little way!” and with that Monokuma just… This bear is getting weirder and weirder the more I get to know how they work, He just vanished suddenly. Everyone around me were so confused by what just happened but I shrugged and opened up my ID Card, I quickly looked at all the rules and then turned it back off and put it in my hoodie pocket, the rules were very simple and ones that weren’t that hard to follow. I looked around at everyone and saw that the others were still looking at their ID cards. I cracked the kinks out of my neck myself before I headed out of the gym, Monokuma said we were allowed to start looking around once we finished reading the rules, I was done reading the rules which means I could start looking around the school.
There really wasn’t much to look at around the school we will be stuck in for our school life, the second floor was gated off and certain rooms in the.. Hotel area? Not sure what to call it, were somehow also locked, the only interesting things I could find throughout the whole first floor were the name plates on all the doors in the hotel area for where our rooms probably are, a large room full of supplies and a too large of a dining room connected to a normal sized kitchen for a school. While I was looking around though, it seemed that this school only had enough rooms for all 15 of us? That really seemed strange to me but this whole day was just weird all together, This could all be just a dream and i’ll wake up in the middle of class and get detention for falling asleep.
When walking back from the large supply room I saw Togami and a few others walk into the dining room, I head straight over to the dining room and went inside. People hanging around togami kind of didn’t seem seem like something he would allow from what I guessed about him from just looking at him so there has to be something going on in here. Walking in the first thing I saw was about everyone was in the dining room, I had left the second Monokuma said we had a full day to get use to our surroundings before our school lives began and after I quickly read all the rules so the others could have planned to meet up here at a certain time without me knowing. I look away quickly and i’m observant so it wasn’t that hard for me to figure out there was a meeting.
Yasuhiro stood up from her seat once everyone arrived and whistled to get everyone's attention, this was starting to get on my nerves how no one seemed to have a long attention span or notice anything happening around them. Once everyone was looking at Yasuhiro she start to speak.
“So! I would think it would be a nice idea for everyone to say what they had found that by chance no one else noticed.” She began with, Yasuhiro looked around at everyone to check if anyone was going to disagree with her, when no one did she continued.
“Well it seemed that Kirigiri went ahead of us and luckily is here now so.. Would you like to go first?” Yasuhiro sounded like she was starting to get a bit nervous when she asked me if I wanted to go first, I didn’t mind at all but she probably thought I just didn’t want anything to do with everyone here.
“That's alright, I’ll go first.” Yasuhiro smiled a bit as she sat down and I stood up.
“The only thing I could really see that maybe no one noticed is that all the doors with our name plates on them were ordered by gender. Girls were on the right wall of the hall while the boys were on the front wall when you walk all the way down the hall.” Almost everyone nodded, the ones that didn’t were probably the ones that might not of had time to check out that part of this floor. I sat down after I spoke and let the next unnoticed thing to be spoken. Sakura stood up after me then proceed to tell us,
“Me, Mondo and Hina went to look at the panels on the windows that we had found in all the classrooms. We tried to see why the windows were all covered but they didn’t budge at all sadly; And from what I found out from junko as we were heading over here it seems that the front door is now a large metal door that’s too complicated for even her to have a chance to hack and break into.” After this she sat down, Panels?... Oh yeah the sheets of thick metal on all the walls around school, except for the dining room windows all the walls around the school were covered, I didn’t think much of them but now that i’m thinking about it they did seem to be pretty strange where they were placed; and also the huge thick door, what was the point of such a thick door? Did whoever made the school really not want anyone to leave that much to the point that they screwed on thick sheets of metal on the windows and put a huge, and very difficult looking, lock on what was the front door of this school? I shook my head, I have no reason to think too deeply about it at the moment, there is still that chance that this is all a dream. No one else seemed to stand up to add onto unknown details so Yasuhiro stood up once more.
“Well, looks like we are done with this, but before we part we should all plan to meet up in the morning here in the dining room at 7! Which is the time that the dining room is unlocked once more.” Yasuhiro said, there were a few groans here and there but everyone just nodded in agreement, this made Yasuhiro happy.
“Now that we have plans for the morning I think it’s about time we head to bed! It’s almost night time and I’m sure Monokuma doesn’t want us up and around too late.” Yasuhiro clapped her hands quietly and started to shoo everyone out of the dining hall. I got up after almost everyone was out and headed straight to my room.
My room was the very last door before the boys wall started. I went to open my door but when I slightly turned the doorknob it just came off from the door frame, the door still opened enough that i could open it but… the door knob.. it just fell off. I sighed with annoyance, I saw something black and white in the corner of my eye, knowing who it was I turned towards them.
“You need something?” I asked Monokuma as I slightly looked down at him. He lightly laughed then spoke,
“No no, I’m just here to say that it seems your door is broken! It’ll be a bit before we can get that fix so the Ultimate Luck doesn’t have a very lucky door.” Monokuma laughed once more and I just shrugged.
“Well, if that's all I’ll be heading into my room. Don’t you have have an announcement to do?”
“Oh yes I do! Well, sweet dreams my little luckster~” and with that he just vanished again. ‘My little luckster’? That is a really weird thing to hear about me but I can’t complain now, he’s gone so. I sighed before walking into my room, I threw the door knob on the table and went to see if I had any clothes to change into in this room.
The Announcement about nighttime starting and some doors becoming locked for the night went off once I was in a pair of pajamas that I had luckily found in my room, Surprisingly they were even the pair I packed. I laid down on my bed got comfortable. I hoped that I would awake somewhere that's not here as my body became relaxed and I fell asleep.
Everyone was now asleep.. Well almost everyone, A single small boy was wide awake and watching everyone from the camera screens in front of him. ‘This is going to be very exciting’ he thought, and it seemed that everyone was acting exactly like he planned they were going to.. Except for a certain ‘Luckster’. “She remembers her father.” The boy quietly spoke out, she wasn’t suppose to remember that but it didn’t worry the boy, she was still as oblivious as everyone else here. He laughed quietly to himself and smiled widely. “The games begin tomorrow, Hope you’re all prepared~”
