NYAKUMA Abe Hitomu SHSL CRANE GAMER STATUS: IMPRISONED CH4 MURDERER Affiliated with Despair Quest 2.0 { X }

[despair-quest]

Be Gone! || Chapter 4 END

Unlike how he had handled himself during all previous post-trials, Chihue had sped out of the trial room as soon as he had the chance, tripping over hi tiny feet once, but jumping back to his hind legs faster than most could process. He was in a rush, a dire rush, no one would be able to stop him from leaving as he vanished into the shadows.

The remaining kids’ watches all alerted them to the result. Though, it was rather obvious by the way both Nyakuma and Akemi were ripped from their podiums, and forced down to their likely untimely deaths in the prisons below.

The watches buzzed to life, this time with a screen none of them had seen before, signifying they had lost this round, despite the actual culprit being one of the two sent down. With a loss under their belts, no prizes were given out, only the guilt of having sent an innocent to her death raking over the minds of the remaining few.

“Only fool here’s you - the mighty Squid hasn’t fallen yet!” 

Okay, god, that pained him to say. But, entertaining’s his job, and maybe they found it funny. Who knows. He laughed a bit at himself before looking at the fighters on the screen. He wasn’t too familiar with this game, but he briefly glanced at each one, before looking up at the question.

“Used to, before my channel went huge. I spent so much time at the arcade, it’s…kinda sad actually.” He laughed a bit. “Once PINKSQUID went big, I just didn’t have the time to, y’know?”

“That’s the part that’s actually sad. A lot of people spend a lot of their time in arcades. How do you think the great and powerful Nyakuma acquired their esteemed prowess with the claw?” Nyakuma looked back at their side of the screen, finally deciding on a character -- something that looks as cutesy as their hat, whatever that might be -- and hitting the ready button on their side.

“Let’s make up for your unfortunate lost time. Whoever wins best three out of five is the new overlord.”

If this was literally anyone else, the silent staring would nerve him out a little bit. But, he was never too sure what to expect from Nyakuma, so he’d just roll with it. He walked over to the other set of controls at the machine, bringing a forced smile to his face. He felt like shit, but he had to keep up appearance. Who knows, maybe this was the distraction he needed.

“Alright, bring it on then!”

“Kuhuhu... You are a fool to egg me on further.” Their manner of speech was the same as usual, but there was a lack of commitment behind that infamous laugh. In fact, their entire demeanor just seemed mildly lacking. Oh well. It made sense to be down with a motive like this, even with Kaya’s ever helpful words.

As they cycled through the fighters on the selection screen, Nyakuma glanced towards Haruto’s side. “Do you play a lot of fighting games?”

Haruto had spent a considerable amount of time at the arcade himself, mostly due to the fact that it was a place he found familiar. Before he had gotten famous, the arcade was where he spent most of his time and money, so the fact that there was one here comforted him a bit. As he walked in for likely what would be the rest of the day, he heard the loud sounds of a fighting game - oh hey, that’s Nyakuma. He’d been meaning to talk to them again, and this could be the chance.

He waited for them to finish their round before clearing his throat.

“Mind if I join in?”

Truth be told, Nyakuma hadn’t realized Haruto entered the arcade at all until he spoke up, too absorbed in their gameplay to notice. They glanced over at him, staring... Silently..... Before looking back to the screen of the fighting game. A couple of seconds later, they looked back at him once again.

“If you think you have what it takes to go against Nyakuma, then I accept your challenge. Approach, worthy foe.”

After the motive announcement, spotting Nyakuma out and about had grown much harder than before... Unless you knew where to look. From the now not so newly opened arcade came the sounds of electronic punches being thrown, and from within, the crane gamer the source.

Well, the fighting game they were playing, but still.

Their face maintained its usual oddly vacant stoic appearance, but the way their hands moved the controls was nothing short of violent, slamming buttons and jerking around the joystick of the arcade fighting game.

“. . .”

Well, it was one way to vent their frustrations.

Listen to the beat | Kaya | Chapter 4 | ATTN: Nyakuma

[nyahahakuma-blog]

Guess Nyakuma had a point there, but at the same time, must one do everything for themselves first in order to judge something? Just to name one example, neither of them had killed - at least to Kaya’s knowledge -, but both of them knew that killing was bad. Then again, some people were tone-deaf, so they might think that something sounded great even if most wouldn’t quite agree on that…

Either way, it was nice to chat with Nyakuma again - they hadn’t done so for quite awhile, after all. Aside from trials and investigations, their last interaction was… in the kitchen near the beginning of this insanity, right?

(That was… a long time ago.)

“Ehe, I wouldn’t doubt it for a second, Nya-chan. I mean, I think that I’m decent at rhythm games, but as soon as something reeeeeaaaaally quick and difficult comes, I’m just losing all sorts of coordination… and if it’s something like DDR, then I eventually trip over my own two feet anyway.”

Someone was certainly upfront about her clumsiness, but what point would there be to gloss over that part? After all, it was her - she just ought to deal with it and if she might say so herself, she’d managed just fine.

(Then again, she should start covering up her bruises again.)

Kaya didn’t seem annoyed at Nyakuma button smashing the same key over and over again - there wasn’t really much that bothered this sunshine girl.

“Hmmmm, that’s a good question… I mean, it would only take you a few minutes to learn the song that I’ve just played. Then again, this is the easiest song out there, so for the more complicated ones… I bet they pour hours upon hours to be able to play them without any errors. I mean, you need to move your fingers all individually at different times.”

“… Wonder if they have any books about piano playing. I mean, if we’re stuck here for longer, might as well try and learn something new, right?”

“Books on piano playing... Methinks they just might. They have books on almost everything else, I think. I don’t actually know. I haven’t looked through the books very hard... Probably because reading takes too much time to be worth it, most of the time.”

Nyakuma finally stopped pounding away at the key, looking over to Kaya. For a brief second, they pursed their lips, seeming to be in thought -- and then their head tilted.

“Not to suddenly change the topic or anything, but why are you so beat up? Did you get in a tussle with someone? Nyakuma is sure that you must have come out victorious, if that is the case... Kuhuhu. I guess that would make your bruises like battle scars. Cool.”

No, Nyakuma. Not very cool at all.

Chapter 4 || Love is a Morbid word || Motive Drop

Longer had gone by since the last motive, however no false hope could be found as the kids went about their business in the kingdom. All silent, growing ever eerier with no sign of life amongst the NPCs or Mascots. To think that anything had happened, perhaps they had all grown bored of the murder game, was out of the question as the kingdom yet still functioned as it had before, simply minus it’s original inhabitants.

The fear and anxiety of the remaining humans was rewarded, finally, as their watches buzzed to life. No essence of hesitation giving them a moment to catch their thoughts, before an obviously miffed Chihue began grumbling over the hologram.

@nyahahakuma

Time sure flies by fast if you don’t pay attention to it. It’s an observation that most people made repeatedly for some reason, herself included. She wondered if there was any explanation to that sensation - why did they feel the need to ascertain themselves over something that wouldn’t change? It was… almost odd, but then again, she couldn’t really come up with a satisfying answer, so this particular question was left unanswered yet again.

Either way, as almost a week passed by since the trials ongoings, Kaya felt mostly fit at this point. Still a tiny bit exhausted, but overall, she couldn’t really complain. Her skin returned back to its healthy color and her eyes were full of life again… or well, as much as you could expect it to, given how much death these eyes had witnessed.

Shaking her head to clear her head from any negativity, Kaya finally entered the music room - although she’d been here before, it was back when she was still half-sick. Thus, it was time to give this room another lookover, so she could make sure that she didn’t miss anything out.

… However, soon enough, she found herself in front of the piano, the urge to play on it emerging victorious over being in business mode only. Granted, she didn’t really know how to play the piano - but that couldn’t try her from stopping, right? And she did know how to play Twinkle Twinke Star, at the very least!

Stretching her fingers out, she grinned as she started to play the easiest song that could be played on this particular instrument - and it didn’t come out half bad, if she said so herself! Sure, others could probably play it better, but at least it didn’t sound like a catastrophe. It was… decent. Yeah, that’s the perfect word to describe her performance!

Just as she finished playing the song again, Kaya saw something out of the corners of her eyes and flashed Nyakuma a welcoming smile, as well as a peace sign.

“Oh, hey there, Nya-chan! Hope my play wasn’t too bad to listen to, ehe~!”

Nyakuma, of course, was doing just fine for this first week. They hadn’t participated much at all the last trial, and honestly, they just... Seemed a bit aloof. After all, they were mostly occupied with the few they had decided to truly call friends.

Seeing Kaya in the music room -- a place they entered out of boredom more than anything -- was far from unpleasant, however. Even if things between the two of them had grown taught, given the revelations in difference between their versions of righteous justice. Nyakuma had no reason to really dislike Kaya, after all... And given the way the last trial went, they felt that maybe the girl was coming to what they thought were her senses.

Being offered a smile and a peace sign, Nyakuma offered no smile of their own -- that would just be out of character -- but did hold up their hand to return the peace sign gesture.

“Hey. I can’t play the piano at all, so I have no right to judge... Kuhuhu... But if it was a rhythm game, the great and powerful Nyakuma would have you totally beat.” They approached Kaya, reaching out and tapping repeatedly at one of the higher pitched piano keys, for no reason other than being idly obnoxious. “How long do you think it takes to learn to play one of these? There are a lot of keys.”

Chapter 4 || Sleeping with the Bugs || Freetime Begin

“ Despite everything, you’ve all survived.

I would congratulate you, but really, you don’t get a gold sticker for surviving. You get a gold sticker for killing. And most of you haven’t done that.

Slackers!! You better do better this chapter! I am beginning to become bored with these pleasant games. “

May she rest in Pieces || Chapter 3 END

The kids file out, except for Kaede who had unceremoniously fainted, having to be carried out by a silent, but disgruntled Ernest. Chihue and Bibbit await them, with Chihue taking center stage as he had the previous times.

“ Well, well, well! To believe Sakata had been keeping those bugs a secret all this time!

Except it wasn’t a secret. You’re all just dumb babies that need your hands to be held constantly. “

He derides, allowing none of them the satisfaction of getting a congratulations. Instead, their watches ding to life, alerting them all to the next chapter.
