Spookalicious | Haruna | (Ab)Normal Days & Location Change [Trial Room > Basement]
Haruna was about to fucking cut a bear.
She’d been confused the whole trial (thanks to her sub-par detective work and inability to understand what was going on until Shoko administered her test), hadn’t a clue what a mastermind vote would entail, and had the view she’d discovered the other day in the back of mind, begging her to investigate further.
And now, now? There was a dead man walking, literally.
The uncomfortable sweat sitting at the back of her neck thickened post-execution; she clicked her teeth together rapidly, a bad habit of hers from age three or so that happened when she was overwhelmed. Considering everything that had happened in the past few weeks, she was surprised it hadn’t popped up sooner.
Her senses were dulled, a barely-audible buzz filling her ears as she stepped off the elevator and slowly registered her surroundings, pulling out her ID as the others dispersed.
She wanted to explore the campgrounds. That was honestly her intention as she stood there, mentally planning the trip. Maybe she’d take a shower first (Damn, how long had that been? She must smell terrible.), then pack a bag with food and water bottles, and take plenty of breaks as to avoid the exhausted outcome she faced last time. It was a great plan.
…But her feet said otherwise.
Instead of heading to her dorm, she went to the place that frightened her most—the basement. It made her think of that voice over the radio, and concrete slabs and spiderwebs and hell, back at home they didn’t even have a basement (admittedly, she hadn’t thought about it much living in a penthouse). Slowly and deliberately, she took the stairs step by step, until the fear became so great that she squeezed her eyes shut and dashed the rest of the way down.
Upon opening her eyes, the matchmaker realized two things:
1. The basement was very dark.
2. The key chain flashlight clipped to her purse was about to become her best friend.
