Choharu shields her eyes with her hand as bright lights shine in her face. She rubs her eyes and blinks, opening her eyes to be met by a giant screen surrounded by flashing lights. Loud music plays through speakers. Words flash up on the screen.
“WEATHER PATTERN PREDICTION: GAME OF LIFE AND DEATH” they read.
Choharu steps forward, and notices a panel in front of her. On it, there is an assortment of different buttons. Each one has a different symbol on it, relating to a different weather pattern. A sun, a raincloud, a tornado… Choharu looks over them, before pressing one of them.
She hears a loud singing sound, and looks up. The screen has started flashing a countdown. 3. 2. 1. A number pops up in the corner, with the word “lives” over it. The game has begun.
A pattern shows up on the screen. Sun, rain, sun. Choharu takes a moment to look on in confusion, before pushing the button with the raincloud on it. The screen dings in response. Before the next pattern can show up, droplets of rain begin to pour on Choharu. She barely has time to look up or question it before the screen dings again. Cloudy, snow, cloudy, snow, cloudy. Choharu presses the snow button, and starts to shiver as the pouring rain turns to falling snow.
With each pattern she completes, the weather changes more and more. Choharu fans herself while sweating during a heatwave. She attempts to protect her head against falling hailstones. She grips onto the panel to try and hold her footing during strong winds. She narrowly dodged out of the way as lightning strikes the ground next to her.
The patterns shown on the screen begin to change as well. They start out easy, and they slowly become more and more complicated, eventually turning into completely nonsensical sequences that Choharu could never wrap her head around, even if given more time. They don’t even resemble patterns anymore.
Snow, rain, rain, snow, rain. She pushes the rain button. A buzzer sounds. Wrong. The correct answer was “sun.” She received a quick electric shock.
Thunderstorm, thunderstorm, thunderstorm, thunderstorm. She pushes the thunderstorm button. Wrong, the screen tells her. The answer was “cyclone”. Another shock.
With every wrong answer, the lives counter decreases, more and more rapidly. But despite all the shocks, Choharu keeps going. As far as she can tell, if she beats the game she could survive. The patterns continue to increase in difficulty, and Choharu’s lives dwindle down.
Rain, sun, thunderstorm, heatwave, heatwave, hail, snow, sun, sun, sun. Choharu glances over the buttons, not knowing what comes next. Squeezing her eyes shut, she presses the sun button.
The buzzer sounds, louder. The 1 life she has left turns into a zero. “YOU LOSE” flashes on the screen. A loud laugh track begins to play.
“You couldn’t even do something as simple as that, huh, Maita?”
Choharu takes a step back, clamping her hands over her ears to try to block out the noise. She shuts her eyes again. She doesn’t notice the bolt of lightning that heads right towards her until it’s too late.
She crumples to the ground as lightning bolts strike her one after another, again and again.
@cosmiris said that my blog is ‘bare n sad’, so I guess. Uh. Have art???
This girl is Choharu from All Aboard, a Danganronpa Fangan Roleplay. Otherwise known as the Murder Froggo, ‘one hundred frogs in a hoodie’, and every name ever to do with frogs. She belongs to Chai.
I really like her fringe, then the braids just made me cry. :’)
Choharu blinked awake. Had she really fallen asleep on the subway? That was strange, she never did stuff like that, she was known for always having energy.
Why was no one else here? What kind of strange subway was this that there was not a single other person here? She looked around again, before breathing out a sigh of relief. Good, she was not alone here. But why was everyone half asleep?
Choharu had one idea - ask for information. She skipped over to someone across from her and asked “Hey! Hey! Do you know what’s going on here?”
Ideas Have Lost Their Glow | Choharu | Prologue | Talia
Choharu’s day could be going sunnier.
She had to be trapped inside, of all places. It had been, what, actually Choharu didn’t know, since her phone was dead. She wasn’t too keen about the lack of internet, either. What kind of subway was it that it hadn’t even gotten wifi yet? She needed this wifi. She had a blog to run!
(Not that she was trying to be arrogant, but she couldn’t believe that Jenova doomed the people outside to listen to the news.)
Though, she wouldn’t show it on her face. She would keep smiling. Someone had to be the positive one around here, after all. Choharu would stay sunny.
She looked around, before noticing a girl in a gray sweater. That’s right, she hadn’t talked to Talia since before that stupid announcement.
“Hey! Talia-chan!” she called out to her, before skipping up to the taller girl.
And the Sky Came Crashing Down💧Choharu💧Ch1 Body Reaction
Choharu wasn’t sure what she was expecting when she heard the tones of Kai and Yume’s voices. It certainly hadn’t been anything positive. And yet, what did she think? That they were only trying to scare them all? That they were just trying to get them to come to the pool, so they could have fun? Was that what she had thought?
Staring wide-eyed at Tsuru’s body, Choharu’s smile was wiped straight off her face. The other girl was floating in the pool, she wasn’t moving, was she really… Someone had really…
“T-Tsu-chan?” Her words were shaky as she forced them out. No. No. Tsuru couldn’t be dead! Tsuru was… Choharu’s friend, wasn’t she? And now… she couldn’t really be gone, right? She pushed a visibly forced smile onto her face. “I think… I think floating is fun too, Tsu-chan, but… but this isn’t really funny! So so! You can get out now!"
She waited a moment. Two. Nothing. Nothing happened. Choharu felt tears run down her face before she couldn’t hold her smile anymore. She crouched on the ground, pulling the hood of her poncho over her head and clutching it tightly as she sobbed.
Why would anyone do something like this? How could anyone do something like this?
