I Need a Hero | (Open)

Murder. Murder. The word rang in Takeo’s ears. Slowly, his face drained of color and turned sickly pale.

"Hold on… Hold on! T-This can’t be—"

"This can’t be right! I…. Th-There’s no way…" He quickly stopped himself. Everyone else looked perfectly calm, but he was the only one who took the weird fox thing seriously. Takeo wiped his tears, trying to seem at least somewhat mature to the others.

Still, he couldn’t help but whimper and sob a little. After all, he wouldn’t survive in this sort of situation unless someone else was keeping him safe. And that wasn’t likely, since he couldn’t really trust anyone. Takeo began to wander off to a safer, less crowded area, but as if right on cue, he bumped into another student.

He let out a yelp, jumping back a little and apologizing profusely. “S-Sorry! Sorry sorry sorry sorry p-please don’t kill me—”

"I'm not going to kill you," Akiko raised her voice. The girl was surprised at how she sounded, since she wasn't one to talk loudly very often, "No one will kill you," she assured him, her voice become softer. He'd probably be fine, as long as he didn't tag around her for too long, Akiko being a huge disaster magnet and all. Even if it was unlikely people'd kill on purpose, an accident could happen.

Akiko looked at the castle walls. With her luck, maybe she'd be able to climb without getting harmed by whatever weapons were there. She couldn't think how her actions could become harmful to any of the other students, so there was no reason not to try. If she managed to leave, then she'd be able to ask for help.

Slowly and silently and started climbing the walls. The fall wasn't enough to kill her or seriously injure her, but she still lost consciousness and twisted her ankle. All in all, the outcome of Akiko's attempt could have been worse.

"So, quite an exciting start to the school year, wouldn’t you agree?" Shouko asked aloud cheerfully to the remaining students in the courtyard. "I have to say I wasn’t expecting anything the likes of this, they’re really outdone themselves!"

She stopped to admire the smooth stone wall of the courtyard for just a moment, before spinning back around to face her classmates. “So, I’m curious. What are all your ideas for what the game plan should be?”

Akiko wasn't exactly sure wheter Shouko truly believed it was all just a silly prank or if she was just trying to comfort herself. If the other girl's behaviour was anything to go by, most likely the former. She didn't want to ruin Shouko's fun but at the same time she didn't want anyone to be careless and get hurt because of any misconceptions of the sort.

"...Do you truly think the school would pull such a ridiculous prank?" she asked in a small voice. What was she thinking, though? Who'd ever bother listening to her?

Exploring - open

Akiko was still shocked at the news. Not as much for herself as she knew her luck would help her get out of there, but for the others. Would they be fine? She couldn't do much to help them other than staying out of their way so she wouldn't drain too much luck of their luck. At the same time, they seemed to be good, interesting and fun people and she wanted to be around them.

She clutched her doll as she explored the place. Akiko made no secret she had always wanted to be a princess, so there was a small part of her who was happy for being at a castle. She wouldn't admit that part to anyone, though. She was a horrible person for feeling that way, right? Then again, she was a horrible person, period.

"Such a beautiful place, such an adorable fox plush... To be ruined like that," she told the doll, "Isn't that a pity?"

(I just hit 101 followers and I still don’t know how that happened exactly

and I’ve never really done a giveaway before but I figured I’d give it a shot, so heRE WE GO„,

I’m gonna draw a portrait like the examples above for one randomly picked person! Likes and reblogs both count so have at it! I’ll announce the winner on 11/13, this coming Wednesday. If the picked person doesn’t respond in 24 hours, I’ll re-roll and announce a new winner.)

Good or bad luck?

"It’s a doll, but if this bothers you, I’ll stop," she said with a small smile. Some people were bothering by her talking to her doll and if they asked her to stop, then she would stop, "I just talk to her, when I want to talk, but if that bothers you that much, I won’t do so in your presence anymore,"

Of course it bothers me! Who wouldn’t be bothered by a girl that talked to dolls like real people? “Whatever. It’s your weird personal life.” Danny decided to say instead, muttering the words out under her breath. She quickly looked at the forming group of teens, wondering if there was even a normal person here, before sighing and turning back to the girl.

"So, doll girl, what’s your talent? I’m guessing it’s speaking with in-animate objects, but even this M.F. guy must have his kidnapping limits." She narrowed her eyes, her back straight as she thought of the person who brought them here. She could only hope he actually bothered to kidnap like-able people. Otherwise, she was screwed.

"Ah, I see..." The other girl didn't seem particularly pleased and like she had said, it as Akiko's weird personal life. Not everyone appreciated weird things and Akiko didn't want to bother anyone with her personal life and her personal problems.

"Good Luck, so to speak," but she knew if she were to be kidnapped, it wouldn't have been because of her talent. But there was no one to pay her ransom, "I was kidnapped for money rather than talent."

Good or bad luck?

"Does it bother?" Akiko seemed more concerned about disturbing him than upset with the question, “It’s a friend, like you said,” her smiled as she clutched the doll, "It’s most so I can have someone to talk without…," Akiko stopped, having decided not to ruin the conversation with an explanation of how her luck often worked.

"No, it doesn’t bother me at all. It’s just kind of curious for a high school student to bring a doll in."

He thought for a moment on what he believed she was about to say. He wouldn’t have guessed about her luck if he thought on it for centuries.

"If you were bullied or something back home, you don’t need to worry about that here. If anyone messes around with you I’ll be here."

"Ah, alright, then, I'm glad," she smiled a bit, satisfied she didn't scare or bothered him with the doll, "Some people are scared of her, but some reason..."

"Thank you," her smile brightened a bit. She was bullied, in one of the schools she studied at. Those people made her feel horrible and it was one of the few times she remembered being upset with people in general. But in most places she studied, she might aswell be invisible and she was mostly fine with that, "It's a nice thought but... I don't know if you... Should waste your time on me?" she hoped she didn't sound rude, though.

She smiled a bit. She had helped him somehow and that made her happy, she just hoped that couldn’t cause any trouble to him later on. But hopefully she wouldn’t drain him of all his luck just because they talked for a few seconds, right?

"Welcome," she smiled softly and then patted him in the head. Hopefully that’d make him feel a bit better? But then, maybe she was pushing it her luck. Or more like his luck.

She nodded once he asked her if M.F, "You and the two other people I talked to,"

"Eh? Who’d you talk to?" This M.F. person was even more sinister than he thought. Kidnapping so many people at once and getting away scot-free (at least, that’s what it seemed like) required tons of planning and skill. Who could pull something like that off?

Takeo scratched his head a little. Perhaps he hadn’t considered the idea of this criminal acting nice to divert suspicion. In fact, this new possibility made him even more skeptical.

The young acrobat crossed his arms and shivered.

"A person named Hiroto, a girl whose name I forgot..." Akiko repeated to herself a few times and nod in confirmation, "And I saw a boy with nice pink hair," she smiled at the though of painting the pretty pink hair.

She looked at the boy's crossed arms and how he looked as if he needed another hug. Only maybe he wouldn't find anyone to hug him all the time. Whenever she needed a hug, she'd hug her stuffed teddy bear. Maybe he'd like to have it for the same purpose? It'd be sad to part ways with Ichiro-kun, but still...

She quickly opened her backpack and looked from the bear to Takeo and back.

Good or bad luck?

"Ah… I guess…" he did have a point about the money, yes. They’d need them alive, at least for now.

He was smiling? He seemed happy for some reason… She wondered why, even though she knew it was intrusive. It was fun trying to imagine people’s thoughts and feelings, even though she was often wrong about them, “It’s probably a good thing,” she whispered to the doll. He wasn’t bothered when she did that, right? The least thing she wanted was to upset anyone.

shslhorseman-deactivated2014041

The curiosity was getting to him, and Hiroto had to ask about the doll.

"So, um, do you mind if I ask you about your friend there?" He traced a circle on the ground with his foot, nervous about what her reaction might be.

"Does it bother?" Akiko seemed more concerned about disturbing him than upset with the question, "It's a friend, like you said," her smiled as she clutched the doll, "It's most so I can have someone to talk without...," Akiko stopped, having decided not to ruin the conversation with an explanation of how her luck often worked.

Akiko noticed the boy had just sat at a stump was crying and calling for his mother. Next thing she knew, she was by his side, giving him a quick hug, "I’m sorry, your mother isn’t here, but you’ll see her soon," she whispered gently.

Upon noticing what she had just done, Akiko scolded herself for aproaching anyone. But would she have been able to watch a little kid crying without doing anything?

All of a sudden, Takeo found himself in the arms of the SHSL Good Luck. In that instant, his breath hitched and he couldn’t move. Then, Akiko’s comforting words halted the flow of his tears. He shut his eyes and sighed. Soon enough, she released him and Takeo could speak.

"Um… Thank you…" he mumbled, still a little shaken. Despite the circumstances, Takeo judged that this person was trustworthy. After all, what kind of kidnapper would just hug their victim and tell them they’d escape?

"D… Did that M.F. person get you too…?"

She smiled a bit. She had helped him somehow and that made her happy, she just hoped that couldn't cause any trouble to him later on. But hopefully she wouldn't drain him of all his luck just because they talked for a few seconds, right?

"Welcome," she smiled softly and then patted him in the head. Hopefully that'd make him feel a bit better? But then, maybe she was pushing it her luck. Or more like his luck.

She nodded once he asked her if M.F, "You and the two other people I talked to,"

Good or bad luck?

"I fear not," lamented Akiko. It was sad she couldn’t help him, but maybe he’d try asking someone else, so it wasn’t a complete loss, was it? “A kidnapping, maybe?” she suggested and then scolded herself for having continued the conversation.

She knew she’d be fine, but she was concerned about the others.

shslhorseman-deactivated2014041

"It’s gotta be something like that. We were probably all drugged and transported here on our ways to school. I wonder what this M.F. guy wants with us? Probably a ransom…" Hiroto realized that he had begun to ramble on, but continued regardless. "At least it doesn’t seem like we’re in immediate danger, right?"

"I wonder, I wonder," she repeated to herself before nodding at the boy’s statement, "More fiction than fiction," she told the doll, partly out of habit, partly because she didn’t think he’d be interested in that comment, since it was just her opinion and her opinion wasnt as interesting or important as other peoples.

Akiko shook her head and clutched her doll tight when he mentioned danger. She probably wouldn’t be harmed, but maybe the others would and she wanted to do anything about it, but knew her vampiric luck would make it worse, "Ah… Please be careful,"

shslhorseman-deactivated2014041

"I’ll be careful! Don’t worry. Whoever did this can’t kill us, or he’d miss out on his money." She looked unsettled to him, and the last thing he wanted was for her to be upset. He thought to comfort her physically somehow, to rub her back or something, but he couldn’t think of anything to do that wouldn’t make it look like he was searching for an excuse to touch her. He settled for a simple smile, his white teeth showing as if he were laughing.

"Ah... I guess..." he did have a point about the money, yes. They'd need them alive, at least for now.

He was smiling? He seemed happy for some reason... She wondered why, even though she knew it was intrusive. It was fun trying to imagine people's thoughts and feelings, even though she was often wrong about them, "It's probably a good thing," she whispered to the doll. He wasn't bothered when she did that, right? The least thing she wanted was to upset anyone.

"Hiroto Miyafuji." he replied, "It doesn’t seem to me like anybody’s got a clue. My personal theory is that we’re being held here for ransom. Hopefully the police will show up soon. It’s not like nobody’s going to miss some of the most important high school students in the world!" he thought for a moment, realizing that he wasn’t even sure they were all Hope’s Peak students. "You were on your way to Hope’s Peak Academy, right? I assumed the culprit behind this chose Super High School Levels because we were so important."

Akiko noticed one of the people in the crowd had bright pink hair and decided doing a color sketch of him. Almost no one she had ever painted or sketched portraits of had been harmed by how her luck worked, so it was probably safe for her to ask him if he could stand still for a few minutes so she could at least memorize his appareance.

She followed him and then asked him in a quiet voice, “Excuse-me but maybe, once we have the time…”

"I was, actually," Kouta said. As he spoke, he casually pulled the small notebook that was tucked away in his vest and scribbled down the name of the boy he was speaking to. If he was stuck here, he figured he should be keeping track of everyone with him. Glancing around at everyone in the area, he said, "I wonder who could possibly organize all of this. A situation like this would definitely attract a lot of attention. Assuming all of us are Hope’s Peak students, the public would definitely notice if an entire class suddenly went missing."

Suddenly, he heard a small voice from behind him. He turned to see a girl holding what looked like a sketch pad.

"What was that?" he asked.

"You've got a beautiful hair color," she more or less whispered, "And if you don't mind..." of course, if he were against it she'd just forget it.

Good or bad luck?

"Ah, no, my apologies, I know about what’s going on as much as you do," she smiled a bit and then bowed as an apology, “I fear no else does, but you’re welcome to check,”

"Why’d they kidnap us?" asked Akiko to the doll. She’d tell Danny that, but she didn’t think she’d be willing to talk to Akiko about her especulations.

"Oh…kay?" Danny paused after she responded, eyebrows raised in confusion as the girl spoke to her doll. Screw it, she really wanted to know what the hell this chick was doing. "What’s with the doll? I mean really… Why?" She wasn’t even bothering to hide her conversation. Danny just hoped that she wasn’t some sort of hex-person or voodoo girl. She’d met a lot of crazy people before, but it’d be hard to avoid someone if they’re trapped in the same building as you!

"It's a doll, but if this bothers you, I'll stop," she said with a small smile. Some people were bothering by her talking to her doll and if they asked her to stop, then she would stop, "I just talk to her, when I want to talk, but if that bothers you that much, I won't do so in your presence anymore,"

Good or bad luck?

"I fear not," lamented Akiko. It was sad she couldn’t help him, but maybe he’d try asking someone else, so it wasn’t a complete loss, was it? “A kidnapping, maybe?” she suggested and then scolded herself for having continued the conversation.

Good or bad luck?

Akiko looked around her and was bothered by a number of things. She last remembered standing in front of Hope’s Peak, why wasn’t she there? Where was she exactly? How could she have forgotten getting there? Why were the windows locked?

Of course, her being bothered or her well being weren’t important, not when she’d probably get out of that situation without doing anything, thanks to her luck. There was a time she was happy being so lucky, but slowly she realized it was at the cost of other’s luck.

She reached for the door and realized it was unlocked and before leaving, she picked up a note from the wall. The note made everything sound suspiciously like a kidnapping, and there were more people involved. She went from slightly bothered to extremelly worried. Who were those people? Were they alright? And why did whoever send that letter insulted them? Those people surely didn’t deserve it.

She decided to do as the note said, so no one would suffer any colective punishments because someone decided to be a rebel of sorts.

As she walked, she opened her bag and pulled her doll out of it. People who were friends with Akiko tended to suffer horribly and so far, the doll had been imune. Of course, a doll couldn’t replace a person, but she had learned to make do with it, "How strange…" she said to doll, as if she were talking to a real person, "Do you think anyone will be hurt?”

Lips pursed, Danny scoped her surroundings, eyes landing on a girl off the side, who was talking to a… doll? Wow, that’s not creepy at all.

Sauntering over, the diva jutted out her hip, curling her hair around her finger. “Hey, you, with the doll.” She called out, sparing the formalities and getting right to the questions. Of course, avoiding too much information about the doll-thing. She didn’t want to know about others’ personal lives that much.

"Do you know whats going on? You two seem to be having fun chatting about something." She scoffed, inspecting her nails as she waited for the answer. Danny doubted the girl knew anything, but it was less boring to not have to wait for the info to come to you.

"Ah, no, my apologies, I know about what's going on as much as you do," she smiled a bit and then bowed as an apology, "I fear no else does, but you're welcome to check,"

"Why'd they kidnap us?" asked Akiko to the doll. She'd tell Danny that, but she didn't think she'd be willing to talk to Akiko about her especulations.

It was finally the first day of school in years for Takeo. Sure, he was nervous, but at the same time, the thought of meeting so many other talented people excited him. Dressed in his favorite attire, the acrobat made his way into Hope’s Peak…

…Huh? A dizzy spell overcame him, causing him to stagger back and forth.

That’s… Not…. R…i…ght…

Thud.

Takeo woke up with a start, his face glazed in a cold sweat.

"Ah… W-What a weird dream…" He breathed out, placing a hand over his racing heart. After calming himself down, he took a habitual glance toward where his alarm clock would be.

Strangely, it wasn’t there… In fact, this wasn’t even his room. Squinting, the acrobat stood up. A strong chill washed over his small body. Shivering, Takeo stiffly stepped towards the bolted-up window. He pressed his palm against the smooth metal, flinching at how cold it felt. Suddenly, the gravity of the situation fell upon him.

He had to get out of there.

After nervously reading the unsettling note, Takeo opened the door, running out into the courtyard. The change in scenery refreshed him a little. Every morning at sunrise, Takeo would run out for a nice roll in the fragrant grasses of Ebetsu. Ah, the homesickness plagued his little heart…

Tears welled up in Takeo’s eyes. Everything was so confusing, and his attachment to home didn’t help. Even if the air was fresher, the courtyard made him feel caged, for he believed nature shouldn’t be confined so tightly. Slowly, he made his way over to the stump and sat, sobbing quietly.

"Mommy…"

Akiko noticed the boy had just sat at a stump was crying and calling for his mother. Next thing she knew, she was by his side, giving him a quick hug, "I'm sorry, your mother isn't here, but you'll see her soon," she whispered gently.

Upon noticing what she had just done, Akiko scolded herself for aproaching anyone. But would she have been able to watch a little kid crying without doing anything?

Kouta shifted uneasily as he opened the door of the room he woke up in. He was trying his hardest to stay calm, but due to the unusual situation, he was finding it rather difficult. He heard stories about kidnappers in the past, but this was just downright odd. It had to be a kidnapping; why else would someone go through all the effort of sealing up the room? With many thoughts racing through his head, he mindlessly fiddled with the folded up piece of paper in his pocket as he began to inch out of the room. The note that was carefully left for him seemed important, and he tucked it away in case he needed it in the future.

Like the note implied, he wasn’t alone. However, seeing the others in the open space around him did surprise him. He began to wonder if they were as clueless as he was. Running his fingers through his pale pink hair, he began to observe the area. Before trying to speak with the others, he wanted a good idea of where exactly he was. Besides, it looked as if that’s what everyone else was doing as well. Closing the door behind him, he began to wander.

Akiko noticed one of the people in the crowd had bright pink hair and decided doing a color sketch of him. Almost no one she had ever painted or sketched portraits of had been harmed by how her luck worked, so it was probably safe for her to ask him if he could stand still for a few minutes so she could at least memorize his appareance.

She followed him and then asked him in a quiet voice, "Excuse-me but maybe, once we have the time..."
