#IC #dropped out #chapterzero #(ab)normal days

Execution 0: The Queen of Blades

With the motive in play, almost all of the students were stuck in your assigned groups, unable to part from another as much as they all would have liked to. By the time that most groups had retreated to their cells, there was a loud stomp of feet, and a loud voice resonating throughout the prison.

“MONOBEAR YOU RATCHET PIECE OF FUCKIN’ SHIT, GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!!”

Well wasn’t someone just enthusiastic to summon up the bear. What was going on here…?

#IC #motive #(ab)normal days

Motive 1: Cell Block Tango

Another morning in prison and you’re still not used to it. You awaken from your rest and find yourself on the floor. Again. Just like the first day. You’re hoping that it’s just a terrible dream and that you’re going to wake up soon. But, upon inspecting the drab cell, there’s more than just your cellmate there. You hear Monobear’s voice booming from the speakers.

"Nobody’s died yet so I thought that I might just change it up a bit. You thought that you’re going to actually get along with people? As if!"

It didn’t matter how stupid you thought it was, you had no choice.

Whoa whoa whoa! This definitely was not going to do! Yes, everyone else was upset and well…she only sorta understood why. None of this was really very upsetting, but people were weird, so why question it?

But this guy…he was much more than just “upset”. Not only was he swearing, he also gave a naughty gesture! That wasn’t allowed, they were still kids! The fact that this is coming from the girl who wants to be punched or stabbed should probably be ignored…not worth questioning.

With a pout and a stomp of the foot, she yelled over to the guy…wow, it’s almost like she was actually angry. We did it folks.

"Hey hey heeeeey…! Who the heckie do ya think ya are!? Ya can’t just be so rude, we’re still high schoolers! Don’t be so rude, even if it is just a stuffed beary bear!"

"Instead…ya should swear and scream at me! Maybe even punch me! Hihihiiiiiiii…would that make you feel happier? C’mooooon…do it!- Oh oh oh! I know what else might make you feel happier!"

And with that…she began to dance. I’m not kidding. Hoping it would cheer him up, she started to hum Pon Pon Pon and dance along…why?Why am I writing this?

"C’mon! Join in…! HihihihiiiI! Huhuhuhuuuu!"

Though it was probably a bad idea, she tried to reach for his hand to dance with him…

Bye Saki.

#IC #shsldamnyoulen #chapterzero #(ab)normal days

He stared at the approaching girl with somewhat of a dumbfounded expression on his face. He's in shock now, to think that someone of this level of intelligence and comprehension existed on the face of the planet existed... he could just shed a tear of how silly this situation was. This was a silly train of thought.

With his frown only increasing at her words, he vacantly stared at her with his hand now down at his side, proceeding to go ahead and give a shrug of his shoulders with his palm facing upwards, before politely extending his middle finger at her. Ha ha, no.

"We're stuck in some kind of weeboo trash of a hellhole where this bear has kidnapped us, and the only thing you're yelling at me is my fuckin' language? Here, here!! This is what I think about that, presenting this to you on a silver platter!! Huh? H-"

When he spotted the girl extending her hand out to grab his, he starts to moonwalk backwards from her reach, stopping at a safe distance away before going into a defensive stance. Also, he's probably hissing like a cat at this point, so that's that.

"Do not fuckin' touch me are we fuckin' clear on this holy shit why would I fuckin' want to dance with you. I'm takin' it in consideration because it's Pon Pon Wei Wei but hell, hell no. I don't even know you. Who the fuck are you?"

Unlike some people, Ryuu still didn’t actually get anything that was happening at all. He was off in his own world completely content with everything that was going on. Prison? Nah. It’s probably just the basement floor of Hope’s Peak, where they train all their secret spies! That’s more like it! He was completely disregarding Monobear for the most part. He knew this was a secret spy mission, and so he had to react in a secret spy way. Maybe he was the lucky one that caught on way before everyone else did. Just an easy way to get things started ahead of everyone!

No one else seemed to think the same way he did, except his secret spy roomie buddy, the king of the sea, Lesser Ryuu. But that was okay, he hardly met anyone yet. Maybe they’d figure it out if he reminded them.

After the bear’s speech, the gamer decided to look around at the now-gathered crowd, perfect time to size up his opponents. He was NOT going to let anyone win this spy game! Him and Lesser Ryuu were going to be on top! He noticed competition that stood out just a little bit more than the others. And not in the good way.

But there in the crowd was Seung Jae-Hwa. What Ryuu didn’t know was that he was also a gamer, but what he DID kknow was that this kid had a foul mouth and no manners! How rude! He marched right on up over to the guy, back as straight as a flagpole, shoulders squared off, showing as much authority as he could muster. He was definitely an important authority figure here! With a frown on his face, he stared at Seung, looking like he was about to talk crazy shit, but instead all he said was…

"Hey! Watch your language!"

#IC #shslrhythmheaven #(ab)normal days #chapterzero

At the sound of someone talking to him, he directed his gaze over to them, a scowl still present on his face. Strange hair. The first thought within in his mind at first sight, which made his expression falter a bit, before he remembered what this guy had said to him before.

"I can't watch unseeable vibrations from my larynx to the air. That's impossible. The instructions were unclear, I got stuck on a wall."

Ah yes, memes. The wonderful meme of how the instructions were unclear. Not a favorite of mine, but it's still entertaining.

Manners? Ha ha! What manners? Seung was only proper to people who he deemed to be in power, which certainly wasn't this person that had come up to him. Not with that outfit and with that hair. Look, he's got glowstick bracelets, that's not the sign of an authority figure.

"하, 하, 당신과 자고. Seriously, are you expecting people to mind their language while we're in some kind of weird Japanese murder mystery game being kidnapped by some ratchet bear who's voice makes me want to go ahead and strangle someone. Are you. Are you."

"If so, then what the fuck is wrong with you. Goddamn."

Stop being rude, Seung.

Stuck forever?! [REACTION] [OPEN]

Sylvain heard a voice call out to him and when he turned around, he saw a familiar face. It was cat guy!

"Yo Chat! There you are! I guess I’ll take the top bunk then? That’s okay, I prefer top anyway!"

Calling this guy ‘Black Cat’ was a little weird to Sylvain…But he hadn’t been given another name. So, he made up his own nickname for him!

Though in all honesty he couldn’t believe they were actually gonna be stuck in here…He was still hoping on it being a joke and well if it wasn’t, he was sure that with all these talented people around, they would find some means of breaking out!

#IC #sylvainclement #(ab)normal days #chapterzero

"What the fuck is that atrocious nickname you've purresented to me."

He really didn't understand what was so difficult about calling him Black Cat. Really, it only made him frustrated in the end with how many nicknames he's accumulated through the years. Wouldn't just calling him Cat work?!

"Yeah, I'm taking the bottom bunk. You can keep your fuckin' top bunk of horrors. Fuckin' bunk beds..."

"Thoughts on what the fuck happened?"

Stuck forever?! [REACTION] [OPEN]

Sylvain swallowed as the bear explained. Stuck here forever? KILL someone? No way….This bear must be joking right?

"Y-Yo…This bear is joking right…? Not a really funny joke though…."

He looked around, there sure were a lot of people here, were all of them invited to Hope’s Peak too? Did they all just end up in this prison? There were a lot of questions going through Sylvain’s mind. But surely this was a prank of some sorts. In a few minutes, someone would jump out and yell something like “surprise, we sure had you there!”

Maybe this was some sort of Japanese thing! Like a really weird…opening ceremony… Oh if only he had actually listened to that girl in his class who’s obsessed with Japanese stuff. C’mon Sylvain think…think…She watches a lot of Japanese shows maybe this is some sorta reality prank show! What was she talking about again last time….Swimming team….? Half naked guys….. Sylvain shook his head. No no, that definitely wasn’t what this was….besides wasn’t that a cartoon or something? This train of thought was literally leading nowhere, but hey, at least it distracted him from worrying about the whole ‘kill to get out of here thing’.

#IC #chapterzero #(ab)normal days #sylvainclement #im sorry im writing this at 5am my tim e #seung has his priorities straight

While continuing to go ahead and spew nasty insults from his mouth in the direction of the now-gone Monobear, he remained having his middle finger extended in the bear's direction, a scowl on his face. He was incredibly pissed on being trapped here with a bunch of people, it was rather humiliating to be placed in the same room as them, Super High School Levels or not.

He absolutely did not give a shit. He simply wanted to not be in a prison where he's reminded of that one person, that one, one singular person that had changed his life for the better or worse.

"Fuckin' hell!"

At some point, his yelling had started to quiet down, his hand lowering down to his side as his expression darkened a bit. If they were truly stuck here...hell, what the hell, He'd have to get along with people, or rather, at least try to get along with one person.

He'd have to go ahead and try to go ahead and get along with someone sooner or later. The cellmate he had was a perfect candidate for that after all, he'd be sharing the same godforsaken cell with him, so why not get along? It'll be great.

It didn't take long for Seung to spot the blond individual in the crowd, moving past people to get to him. With a slight wave of his hand to attempt to get the guy's attention at first, he called out to him.

"Hey! Sylvain! I'm callin' the fuckin' bottom bunk since we're fuckin' stuck in this place."

That wasn't what he wanted to attempt to start a conversation with, but it'll do.

NOT ENOUGH MINERALS | CHAPTER ZERO | (AB)NORMAL DAYS | [RE: Monobear]

...People. Lots, and lots of people within an area that was commonly known as a prison. Absolutely disgusting.

He could already feel himself having a scowl on his face as he crossed his arms over his chest, his head cocked to the side. Of course, of course. This was a prison after all, and this was a place where people were horded up like animals, which was exactly what most of the individuals sent here had deserved.

But surely these people appeared to be...somewhat around his age, if not a bit older or younger by a few years. How horrible.

His attention was taken away easily by the voice of what appears to be a monochromatic bear, with some awful design on it. He stayed silent throughout the bear's whole speech, the 'forever' part of it making his scowl grow even more than before, a quiet hissing of a cat emerging after a while.

How dare this bear, whoever created that horrendous thing, trap him in this place? Out of everyone? Surely that was an incredibly purrideful statement, but he wasn't ashamed at all for that. He could also be a bit...purrtencious.

No? Come on, the puns are acceptable in a time of crisis after all. (Like this one.)

After the bear was gone, some mystical force had now possessed his hand to move up into the air in the direction of where the bear was, and politely extended his middle finger with a unamused expression on his face. Ha. He could just angrily do the pon pon wei wei while he's at it. Or better yet, boy, do I love chicken strips. Sometimes, when I’m home alone, I

"Fuck you! Fuck you! 빌어 먹을! 빌어 먹을!"

Well that's very kind of you to bring to the table, Seung.

Welcome to the Prison of Despair

After a somewhat interesting conversation with the only other person in the room, you hear speakers crackle and a high-pitched voice comes over the intercom.

"Eh… All prisoners please report to the entrance of the building immediately. Anyone who doesn’t show up will be sent to solitary.”

If you had looked at your electronic keycard earlier, it included a map of the place, instructions on how to use the piece of technology itself, and a list of various names paired up with another. Once you and your fellow inmate exit the cell, using the map or not, you eventually find yourselves standing before the door of the building. There stood many other people. Could they have been the ones on the list? All of a sudden, the same voice from before catches your attention. You try to see past the group of confused teenagers to see a toy bear. Was it there the entire time? What exactly is going on? Will your questions ever be answered?

"Took you bastards long enough!"

"Next time you make me wait, I’ll send you all to the death row. Every single one of you!"

Everyone suddenly went quiet. What was there to say?

SCV REPORTING FOR DUTY | CHAPTER 0 | (AB)NORMAL DAYS

The door opened surprisingly easy, for a prison cell. Sylvain took one last glance at his own keycard before shoving it down his pocket and following after the other boy.

He almost bumped into him when he stopped walking in the hallway and turned around. Was he…smiling? Huh, he knew this guy wasn’t gonna be all grumpy all the time!. ‘purrsonally’? Wait did he hear that right, this didn’t seem like the guy to be making puns- oh, ‘expurrlore’ there he went again he was definitely making cat puns.That was pretty silly, Sylvain had to keep himself from giggling. Uh, no wait. Chuckling. yeah that sounded better. manlier than giggling. Yes. Sylvain was a manly man. Obviously.

"Uh, maybe left?"

'black cat' sure seemed more energetic now, it was kinda cute! Wait. No, not cute. Sylvain did not think of other guys as 'cute'. No siree.Let's just say he uh…seemed more fun now! Yes, that sounds better.

#IC #chapterzero #sylvainclement #(ab)normal days

If you had giggled at that moment, Seung would have probably put on a scowl to mask the sudden smile that had appeared on his face at the prospect of exploration. Weakness wasn't tolerated when he was conscious of it. It was a wonder how he didn't know that he was smiling at this point.

"To the left then!"

With that, he darted down to the left (or rather his right) of the hall, looking around at the doors of the other jail cells, before meeting another hall at the end of there, which he glanced to the right, then the left, before walking up to the door that was directly in front, attempting to peer in, though he's failing at that. Oh well.

Solitary room it seemed from the map. But he wouldn't know. He's already disinterested in this door already, so he quickly moves away from that door to go ahead and go down the hall. Better keep up, golden retriever boy!

SCV REPORTING FOR DUTY | CHAPTER 0 | (AB)NORMAL DAYS

'Black Cat'?….He wasn't gonna give his real name then, was he? What was with this guy anyway? Sure this wasn't the best place to wake up in and they had no idea what happened but it couldn't hurt to be a bit less rude… Sylvain let out a sigh.

"Right right, let’s just go…"

This guy was kinda reminding him of that cleaning guy who worked back at his house. Not that he talked as much, but Sylvain swore he was just constantly pissed off no matter what, and that look in his eyes…was like a death ray. Bothering him during work was only advised if you had a death’s wish. He wondered why his mom and step dad even still hired him…Anyway, this train of thoughts is getting a bit of track.

#IC #sylvainclement #chapterzero #(ab)normal days #IT BEGINS...........................................................

Surely he wasn't going to give up his actual name on the first encounter. Certainly not to a guy like this. Why? Because no one can say it correctly for some reason and get his surname and given name mixed up.

Black Cat was much easier to recall and remember, and he has the pin on his jacket to remind people about it. Plus, it sounded much cooler than his actual name, which made him feel much better than most people.

Typical. He's too cat-like for his own good.

Sliding his keycard he had held in his hand from the start of this wacky endeavor into the lock system on the door, he put the object into his pocket, before zippering it back up. It wasn't as if he'd need it, would he?

Pushing open the door, he walked out first, only to stop at a few steps into the hallway, looking to the left, then the right with a slight smidgen of curiosity present on his face, rather than the scowl he had before. It almost resembled a cat starting up at one of those cat toys people use to play with them. Almost.

Suddenly he spun around on the heels of his shoes, a...smile present on his face as his face lit up. Forget about the fact they were in a prison, there was a lot of space to roam around. This place sure was snagging Seung's interest. Just like a cat. That's it. That's him. What a weirdo.

"Hey, left or right? Pick one, I plan to purrsonally expurrlore this place now."

When did this guy get cheerful?! And wait, were those cat puns?!

SCV REPORTING FOR DUTY | CHAPTER 0 | (AB)NORMAL DAYS

Wow okay…Maybe he should watch what he says more, this guy is obviously not the most tolerable one… And what was he going on about?

"sh…shi? Um wel, that’s alright I guess? Just Sylvain is cool."

Yeesh, Sylvain knew their situation didnt look good, but the tension was getting a little awkward. He better say something to try and lighten the mood.

"So before we get the hell out of here, can I ask for your name? Why did you come to this ‘school’? It’d be cool to know who I woke up next to, at least."

It seemed only fair that he knew his name as well, so he’d at least know what to call this guy. Not that he seemed very interesting in talking…But oh well, it couldn’t hurt right? Maybe he was just like this because of the bad situation they were in! Who knows, maybe he’s actually a chill guy under normal circumstances… Either way, he didn’t know what was about to happen, so it’d be nice to at least ‘know’ one person.

#IC #chapterzero #(ab)normal days #sylvainclement

He gave a huff of annoyance as proceeded to shrug, his palms up as he tilted his head to the side. Then he let his arms go down at his own sides before responding.

"To be honest I don't know why I use the honorific -shi, but hell, I'm ain' Japanese so it's fuckin' weird for me to use Japanese honorifics, even if I lived in the goddamn place for more than a year. Hence why the fuck am I here now."

The situation would have been much better if this guy wasn't such an asshole. He curled his hands into fists, and then released them, repeating the process over and over as he pondered on which name he'd give to this guy. Black Cat? Or Seung Jae-Hwa. Either one was already fine, so what the hell.

He was thinking on this too much, it was time to respond already.

"The name's Black Cat, and I came to this school because of reasons. Also, since I got an invitation to it to my surprise. Nice to meet you. Now, can we get out of here. I'm not likin' being in this cell due to reasons in which I can't state for they're fuckin' stupid."

Slow down Seung...don't go too fast...

SCV REPORTING FOR DUTY | CHAPTER 0 | (AB)NORMAL DAYS

Woah, this guy was not one to mess with. Well then again they did just wake up in jail pretty much.

"R-Right, that was a dumb question."

Sylvain laughed nervously, looking around the cell. There wasn’t much interesting going on. There was one thing he agreed on though, he wanted to get out of here just as much. Whoa whoa, suddenly questions!

"Woah slow down..Alright um, my name is Sylvain, I uh…I dance. Yeah. And to be honest I have no clue on what happened. All I remember is walking into that fancy Hope’s Peak high school and then I woke up here with you."

Sylvain prefered not to go into great detail about his dancing. He’s had some bad experiences with telling or showing other people his talent, he’d rather not. Besides, this guy didn’t seem like he was very interested in dancing anyway…What was his talent?

#incommand #sylvainclement #chapterzero #(ab)normal days

Laid back. He couldn't help himself make comments of this guy in his head as this conversation continued. It was a habit of his that he particularly didn't care to go ahead and fix. Whatever.

Nervous. Confused. Clueless. Confirmed foreigner. New points surfaced in his mind as he blankly stared at the guy with an unamused expression on his face. The response that the other gave was rather strange to Seung, a bit peculiar, but acceptable. He went through a somewhat similar situation after all. I'll keep my questions to myself.

"Slow down? What the ever lovin' hell do you mean by that. I'm goin' at the most slowest fuckin' speed I can with this conversation, it could probably make a snail cry tears of joy having somethin' slower than it."

There it is. The sarcasm. Sarcasm, his dearest friend. How he missed it so.

He raised a hand up to his hair and started to pat it down so that it didn't look like he had just woken up, or that he was some frightened cat, before going ahead and forming a response after that. Hmph! The Black Cat? Being frightened? As if. That's unlikely!

"Well it sure is such a pleasure to meet you, Sylvain. Yeah I'm not goin' to put a -shi at the end because that's a European name, and that would sound weird. It'll be like calling someone named Bob, Bob-kun."

"...Okay, let's forget I even said that. Is there any mouthwash, I need it to purify my fuckin' mouth from sayin' that. Absolutely disgustin'."

SCV REPORTING FOR DUTY | CHAPTER 0 | (AB)NORMAL DAYS

Sylvain slowly gained consciousness. The first thing he felt, was the cold sting of the hard floor against his face. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at a wall. Where was he…? He remembered the school…But he didn’t remember anything after entering. His mind was blank…

He didn’t notice the other person in the room. That is, until he heard his voice.

He jumped up, surprised to hear someone else. When he turned around, he saw the other boy, he looked just as surprised as he was just now.

"Ah Putain….You scared me…"

He took a look around….What was this..a cell? Was this part of the school? Or did he get abducted or something…? He stared at the key card in his hand and looked back up at the boy.

"Um…Where exactly…am I?"

Yeah. The guy who looks just as confused as you PROBABLY knows where you are. Obviously.

#incommand #sylvainclement #(ab)normal days #chapterzero

Foreign. That's the first word when Seung first saw the guy, mostly since his hair-color was rather strange for a Japanese person. But they could have dyed it. How peculiar. Normally people who were blondes or blonds with blue eyes were of European descent.

That is, if he wore contacts. With a twirl of his ID card, he flimsily tosses it up into the air, catching it with ease. He was thinking on this far too long. With a tilt of his head, he made a response to the other's question- no matter how strange it was to ask. Didn't his face show it all?

"Eh? How should I know? I'm in the same boat as you are."

He'd have to pat down his hair soon. Heck, that gave him an alarm, and this placed also added to that. Isn't this place where people who commit a crime get sent to, to die? Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

"State your name, occupation, and your perspective on what the fuck happened. I'm not stayin' in this fuckin' place. It's absolutely disgusting."

Whoa there Seung, calm down!

SCV REPORTING FOR DUTY | CHAPTER 0 | (AB)NORMAL DAYS

Hope's Peak Academy. The place where talented individuals go to once they've been sent an invitation. Seung hadn't been much to go to fancy schools like this, but he had a terrible feeling about it. Or was that just his normal feeling or anything new?

He certainly didn't expect to be drugged at the first step he took into the place. He'd curse to himself about his family and stuff if he wasn't knocked out for a good amount of time.

When he awoke, the first thing he did after five seconds of vacantly staring up at the ceiling was immediately push himself up from the floor by his fists, now stumbling a bit before standing on two feet, while having a defensive stance. Where was this? A cell. Why was he here? Who knows.

He paid no attention to the other person in residence of this lovely cell, and merely glanced at the keycard that was in his hand, scowling. How dare he- out of anyone- to be placed in some dump like this! Unforgivable!

"Mother fuckin' hell. What kind of Japanese school does this bullshit? Tch."

After a while, he finally notices the other person, only to jump up like an alarmed cat in place, his hair slightly puffed out as his face slowly formed into a perplexed expression. What the hell? Who was this person? Why the fuck...?

"...Who the fuck are you...?!"

Great job.
