[File 18] Greed is deadly - 欲は致命的です -

[[♫♫]]

Having this new world to explore was all well and enough to keep the students busy and distracted for a day. Had the recent three deaths been wiped completely from their minds? Surely not. Anyway, with time old tradition, Monokuma signaled the arrival of Nighttime...

“Mm, ahem, this is a Vault announcement. It is now 10pm. As such, it is officially Nighttime!

Okay then! Sweet dreams everyone! Goodnight, sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs biiiiiite!”

The monitors flickered off throughout the vault and the weary students head off to bed.

...

The following morning went as usual. Monokuma woke them up at 7am and they all promptly went to the morning meeting. However, once again, their gathering was disturbed by the arrival of their furry little captor.

“Good morning everyone! The birds are a chirpin’ and the bees are a buzzin’ so it’s time to get goin’ and murder your cuzzin’!”

... Silence ...

“Ok, it’s a work in progress, jeez...”

“Anyway, the whole hulabaloo that went down with Oshiro-kun and Takuyo-kun was really really entertaining. So, I want to see that again, but this time with feeling! As per usual, I have got a little surprise for you in order to entice your way to murder...

A large monitor descended from the ceiling over the reception desk which lit up with bright symbols and letters, almost like a game show.

“So so so, I’m concerned about your education! You ultimates have been neglecting your studies and I’m not happy about that at all. But, I’ve given you little delinquents a fast track to graduation! If you commit a murder and get away with it, then you will not only be rewarded with your freedom, but also 5 million yen and guaranteed success in the field of your choice! This is a one time offer, so don’t let it slide!”

Monokuma let out another rambunctious laugh and bolted out of the door. The students were left with this new ultimatum, murder and get promised with success? Who would be greedy enough to take a life for that? Regardless, some of the students had less pressing matters on their mind.

Maguro Ando and Eri Takenaka both stand up and call out to the rest of the class, informing them that they have arranged a pool party in order to take their minds off the situation. They mentioned that Monokuma said the party was mandatory and that was a good thing, after all, nobody would kill with everyone in the room...

...right?

[Task 7] Monokuma has released a new motive and tensions are high. However, it has been revealed that there is a mandatory pool party courtesy of Maguro Ando and Eri Takenaka. All students must make their way to Area 2 in order to enjoy a good ol’ party. However, the wisest and the smartest will use this as an opportunity for a gruesome, perfect crime.

When Maguro echoed her declaration, Eri quite literally grinned from ear to ear; it was much more relieving to see him like this. The first time she’d properly spoken to the lifeguard, it had been in the wake of a life lost, and she’d taken him for the brooding type. Now, she realised, it was just that this whole set-up had been getting to him — and given that it was getting old even to her by this point, Eri couldn’t blame him.

“Ehh, you’re still worried about the bear?” Eri tilted her head in response to Maguro’s question, looking mostly unruffled by the extremely valid concern he’d raised. “Don’t you think they’re just kind of a chuunibyou? Kyahaha, don’t get me wrong! I still can’t wait to analyse their specs, and the special effects when they ‘speared’ Dorian Tolbrynd were simply sensational, but… isn’t the whole bear gimmick kind of too light for a tasteless set-up like this? Like something out of a cult-hit manga or something, right??”

Rather than keep theorising about Monokuma, she seemed to visibly cut herself off. If Maguro was worried about the bear ruining things, she’d just have to do her duty as their resident people person and girl genius, and settle his concerns.

“Hey, hey, why don’t we just summon the bear here and ask them? They aren’t exactly obeying Asimov’s Laws, but… the way they’ve set up all these rules, they must be programmed to tell the truth, right?! Hmm, maybe if you splash around and scream for a few minutes…”

[maguroando]

“Eheh…” He chuckled nervously, glancing to his side before going silent again, listening half-heartedly as Eri continued to question the validity of the murder game. She was correct, that this seemed like something out of a manga and not at all realistic, but he felt like if it was a joke it really should have ended by now. He was pretty sure that there were no special effects out there that would make it look like Tolbrynd had gotten speared in real life, in front of all of them.

Maguro didn’t want to dwell on it, they had more pressing manners to attend to: first, the pool party, and then students that were faring way worse than the both of them that really needed cheering up.

“I s’pose we could ask it… it could even help us, considerin’ it doesn’t try to kill anyone…”

At first he considered not telling Monokuma at all, but considering it seemed to know everything that went on despite not being there… it would be a futile attempt.

“Hey!” he cupped his hands around his mouth in a makeshift megaphone, yelling as loud as he could to garner the bear’s attention.” “Monokuma, can you hear me?! Takenaka-san and I wanna throw a pool party!”

[dr-omens-blog]

[[♫♫]]

A loud bubbling appears from the chlorinated water that filled the pool. The bubbles began to surround Maguro at an epic speed, before suddenly there is a loud yell that sounds a lot like a dying whale and a splash. Monokuma appeared to be swimming around the pool in a pretty red two piece.

“Wawah?!? A pool party?”

Monokuma splashed about before pulling a serious face and frantically moving his head between Maguro and Eri.

“And why should I let you and Takenaka-san throw a pool party? Didn’t I tell you that my goal is to make you guys despair? Having fun is outta the question!!”

...

The bear pulled a wild grin.

“Ok! I will allow it! However I will be making the rule that attendance at the party is mandatory. Consider it a school event, as a reward for passing the last class trial and executing Oshiro-kun.”

“Puhuhu! Aren’t I so generous?”

And with that Monokuma descended to the depths of the pool and disappeared.

❥Student Teacher Conference Ch. 2: Monobear {Closed}

Kimiko had many questions buzzing through her head. She had spent a tedious amount of time looking through the new areas, with no allusion to answers. She wasn’t expecting things to go differently, but hitting a dead end was frustrating nevertheless. Then, a memory popped into her head.

With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore Vault Mamori at your discretion.

She knew the rules mentioned exploring, but what about asking? Testing it out, Kimiko raised her voice, hopefully loud enough so the wretched bear could hear.

“Oi! I know you can hear me! I request your presence as soon as possible, which shouldn’t be too long since I doubt anyone here wants your company.” Kimiko felt ridiculous yelling at air like this, but if the bear could pop up almost instantaneously and butt in at other times, then there was no reason he couldn’t now. While she wasn’t sure how useful this would be, she felt like conversing with the bear might be useful.

[dr-omens-blog]

[[♫♫]]

Monokuma knew that more or less at some point these dastardly brats would start to as questions. It was a good job he was a smart bear who was filled with endless answers to infinite questions... Mostly.

“Monokuma humbly appears before you Wakahisa-san.”

He cupped his paws over his mouth and giggled, glaring up with a cheeky grin at the Makeup Artist.

“Don’t you look like a weirdo screaming at a wall like that puhuhu! Careful, you might attract unwanted attention! The walls have feelings you know...”

“Anyway, what can I do for ya?”

[File 17] : Beautiful Dead -  デッド美しいです -

[[♫♫]]

The trial and rather surprising execution of Jiro Oshiro left the students exasperated and exhausted. They had successfully found and sentenced the killer but for what? Only to spend another waning day in the vault. To many, it was less of a victory, more of a cruel prison sentence.

The vault was quiet post trial. Many students went about their business in a solemn way. After all, they had witnessed so much death for just one day. First, discovering Tadashi Takuyo’s body early in the morning, only later to see Jiro get shot in the head. Most of them went straight to their apartments whilst others chose to investigate the grates leading down the other corridors in Mamori Central.

The images of their loved ones potentially being killed had certainly taken it’s toll on many. How much longer did they have to suffer?

Regardless, as usual, time went by at a painstakingly normal pace. Eventually, Monokuma was announcing it was nighttime and many students went straight to bed. Tired maybe? Or was it a subconscious attempt to prevent another murder?

...

Ding Dong Ding Dong

“Gooooooood morning everyone! It is now 7am, time to greet another beautiful day!”

That annoyingly positive voice was beginning to get ingrained into the brains of the students. Bed at 10, wake at 7. It really was like prison. Regardless, each student begrudgingly awoke and the remaining 17 made their way to the reception area to meet for Atsuko Fujimoto’s scheduled morning meetings. They sat there for about half an hour chatting about what had happened the night before, or at least, some of them. The students deliberated that indeed If a student was found guilty of murder, then they will most certainly be executed. There was a wave of hope that what happened to Jiro would prevent any further killings however, most of them knew, that given the circumstances of the motives provided, no one could say for certain.

It was then, that they were joined by an unwelcome guest.

“Puhuhu! Good morning suckers!”

...

“Wawah? You don’t look to happy to see me! Man, that’s depressing...”

...

“Jeez, ok I get it! You don’t like murder! No need to give me the silent treatment! That isn’t very nice! Besides, you’re gonna like what I have in store for you! Your world is about to expand, follow me!”

With that, Monokuma bounded out of the reception hall. The students glared at each other and promptly decided to follow. What did he mean by... expanding world?

Monokuma brought the 17 down to where the elevator to the trial room stood. He toddled over to the grate on one end of the room, next to a sign that said “Area 2.″ He used his own ElectroID to scan the machine next to it and watched as the grate rose into the ceiling, allowing access to the new corridor.

“Here is a new area for you to frollick and play! Have fun!”

And with that, Monokuma vanished as he normally does. The students crept into the corridor and as they did, their ElectroID’s beeped once more

Beep beep! Vault Mamori Map has been updated.

The students checked their maps.

A new world indeed. It was time to explore.

[Task 6] Explore the new area of the Vault! Freetime is upon you, use it wisely!

[File 16] : Execution : “What the Doctor Ordered!” - 医師が注文したもの -

[[♫♫]]

“But... perhaps it’s better this way. I’ve always been the spare anyway. Nothing of merit is lost.” He’d chuckled weakly, bowing his head slightly. Really, if he wasn’t able to save himself, let alone Ren, the only person who’d even shown himself as being worth saving... What good was he? “It was... interesting to meet you all, brief as it was. I hope whatever is to come is--”

Whatever he’d ‘hoped’ to come of the situation was lost the moment what appeared to be a chain held a vicegrip on his neck, dragging him away into parts unknown. Silence stole across the courtroom for but a moment; before the murmuring could actually begin, the far walls of the courtroom fell away to reveal windows, a city street brightly lit up in neon lying just beyond. A metallic thunk causes you to look back at your podiums; a look back, and you now appear to be standing around a mock bar, complete with a vest-clad Monobear sliding frothy mugs of root beer out in front of you.

A catchy tune plays softly in the background.

...But you were promised blood. Where’s the murderous malpractitioner? Do you really want to know? The familiar sound of police sirens ‘outside’ would have suggested that he was just under arrest, but it isn’t until he dives past the window that you’re entirely sure. The speakers crackle to life above the music: “Oshiro Jiro! You’re under arrest for quackery, murder, and jaywalking! If you continue to resist arrest, your end will only be prolonged!”

...Quackery? So, the bumbling cat tie wearing nerd wasn’t actually a certified doctor? What was he, then? 

There wasn’t much time to think about it as a small tremor shook the contents of your glasses from within the courtroom. Several Monobears outside the window had since started shooting relentlessly, and, when the ‘window’ shifts to show the ‘doctor’ taking shelter behind a dumpster within an alley, it comes to your attention that it’s actually a television screen. He pauses for a moment, apparently thinking, before standing. The fist on his good arm clenched, he starts to walk shakily forward towards where the alley fed out into the street, where the red and blue flicker of the siren’s lights could still be seen. Was he stupid? Why was he going towards it?

Unless he’d intended to die.

Which seemed to be the case as he came out to stand in the street before the company of policebears, expression hard as he throws his hands out in front of him. For a moment, the gunfire stops completely. You hear Jiro bark at them to get it over with, and weapons are raised, but it isn’t until an unfamiliar voice rings through the speakers that they begin to fire.

You’re not sure who the blonde figure is that stumbles in front of him just then - only that he looks like he could have been Jiro’s personal stunt double if it weren’t for the carefully tailored suit and his apparent willingness to shield the other from the shower of bullets directed towards him.

The unadulterated mixture of fear and pain upon the Doctor’s face lasts for only a fraction of a second as the figure sinks to his knees in front of him, a pained sort of triumph on his face. Just as Jiro dips to grab him before he falls completely, a final bullet is shot. You don’t see him fall- the camera flickers out at that moment, but staring into your root beer, it’s hard to deny one simple fact.

[ Jiro Ōshiro SHSL (Physician) Back-Alley Doctor, has been executed.]

[File 15] The Glory of the Courtroom - 法廷の栄光 -

[[♫♫]]

After what seemed like forever, the elevator finally ground to a stop. The grated doors opened into a spacious, brightly decorated room with what appeared to be 20 podiums all facing each other in a circle. 

On the throne overlooking the court, sat Monokuma who was visibly gleeful over the situation.

“Ohohoho! Welcome to my Courtroom! Snazzy riiiiiiight?”

The bear sat himself on his throne, wiggling his butt until he got comfortable.

“Each one of you has a designated seat, so please, come stand where you see your name.”

Each one of the students anxiously stood forward and stood at the podium that was labelled with their name. [The order of the students is the order of the roster from left to right] However, something eerie stood in the place of two podiums.

“What are those...” one of the students piped up.

“Hey hey HEY!! Don’t be rude! We don’t want to leave anybody out just because they died. Friendship penetrates even deaths barrier...”

“Anyway, enough jibber jabber, let’s dive right in shall we....”

It was now or never. It was time to solve the murder of Tadashi Takuyō the Super High-School Level Choreographer.

[Task 5] Work together and solve the murder of Tadashi Takuyō!!

[File 14] : The New World Order - 新世界秩序 -

[[♫♫]]

Ding Dong Ding Dong.

That familiar bell rang throughout the Vault, causing everyone to freeze where they were. It had been what? 3 hours since Tadashi’s body was discovered.

“Well well well.... Well well well well well well well well. It looks like you have all been busy busy bees! However, I’m bored, so let’s get this show on the road shall we? The Trial room awaits you past the barricade and down the stairs. I will be waiting for you there!”

With that, the screens shut down. The students stopped what they were doing, some bidding farewell to Tadashi’s body as an act of respect before gathering in front of the large grated entryway that led to a set of stairs descending further into the vault. None of them could look each other in the eye.

With a great creak, the barrier began to lift into the ceiling, allowing the students to descend into the abyss.

Once they reached the bottom of the stairway, they were faced with a medium sized square room with a high ceiling. There was nothing here except for a large statue of Monokuma settled neatly in the centre of the floor. to each side there was a number of grated entryways much like what was blocking the way down here. 

Beep beep! Vault Mamori Map has been updated.

The student’s electroIDs all pinged off at the same time. Each one of them went to look at this so called “updated map”

So this is where they stood? What were these other areas? It didn’t matter, they had a task at hand. They stood and waited until they heard the ominous laughter of Monokuma. As if by magic, the Statue of Monokuma rose into the ceiling revealing a door into a rather spacious elevator. Once everyone had gathered inside, the doors shut and the students began to descend deeper into the vault. No-one spoke that entire journey down. There was no trust anymore, anyone could have killed Tadashi.

Quietly, the elevator descended without the Choreographer.
