========> Be the RED-HAIRED PUNK WANNABE

You do your best 'DON'T MESS WITH ME' glare. It's not very threatening.

========> ENTER NAME: LEON KUWATA

You're DAMN RIGHT.

Your name is LEON KUWATA. People know you as a BASEBALL ALL-STAR, but these days you’re more into PUNK ROCK. Trying to change your image and all. Maybe pick up a few CHICKS. One chick in particular. Whether it’s baseball, music, or ladykilling, you do everything in a BLAZE of passion! Yeah!

Anyway, video games are for NERDS, but Kirigiri seems pretty damn insistent about this one. Besides, it gives you a chance to talk to Maizono, which is always a plus.

Or it would be if she would ANSWER HER DAMN PHONE.

Maizono: Annihilate the imps

With a smile, you take a deeeeeeeep breath and launch into MY SUMMER WITH YOU, the HOT NEW SINGLE from your group.

The imps cannot handle the level of PURE GIRL POWER emanating from you, and subsequently explode into piles of multicoloured GRIST. You're making a good start already!

For some reason, your mind turns to a certain RED-HAIRED PUNK WANNABE. You wonder what he's up to right now.

[schooltrapped]

Maizono: Go explore the outside world

========> LAND OF ZEPHYR AND ECHOES

Your first thought is that it is cold. A gentle breeze courses through the air, but even that chills you. You resolve to make some thicker clothes. The land is grey as far as you can see. There are trees, though, and you can see the distant shimmer of a lake - and around it, small raises that could be a village. You brighten at the thought.

Not for long, though, as another IMP, this one with a metallic sheen and buttons on its chest, comes bounding up to you. Then another, then another. Your voice is starting to strain and you add an amplifier to your growing list of needs.

-- terseConscript [TC] began pestering cherubicGlee [CG]! --

TC: good, you're in

CG: Mukuro? What's going on?

TC: doesn't matter. stay alive. that matters.

TC: also you need to talk to kuwata.

TC: sis is getting impatient

TC: you know what she's like

TC: hurry up

-- terseConscript [TC] ceased pestering cherubicGlee [CG]! --

You're beginning to think that no, you don't really know what Junko Enoshima is like at all. You also really, really don't want to talk to Leon. Mostly, you want to wake up and go to school, like you normally would.

[schooltrapped]

Maizono: answer naegi

-- austereCircumstance [AC] began pestering cherubicGlee [CG]! --

AC: sayaka??

CG: I'm here, Makoto!

CG: Mind you, I don't really know where 'here' is ...

AC: uh well

AC: your house is

AC: surrounded by these weird black monster things

AC: and is also not where your house should be

AC: i think

AC: i think you might not be on earth anymore

CG: Hold up, did you say 'monsters'?

AC: yeah i

AC: look out!

-- cherubicGlee [CG] is now an idle chum! --

========> Sayaka: Look out

Something small and black has crept up behind you. The word IMP comes to your mind, unbidden. It is a strangely formed thing, with a face like a wrestling mask and limbs that resemble noodles. It makes a strange beeping noise at you that reminds you of your PDA. It's also lunging at you.

You quickly equip the GLITTERMIC 3000 to your MICKIND specibus. A quick SHRIEK at high C blasts it into a pile of shiny candy-like objects. Satisfied, you collect them and turn your attention to the door.

[schooltrapped]

Maizono: Take a bite out of the apple.

========>

There is a sound outside, like some great terrible wind. Makoto is saying something, but before you answer him, you are struck with the sudden desire to BITE the apple. You sink your teeth into its strange, metallic flesh.

Something flashes, bright as wildfire, outside, and then there is nothing.

Carefully, you get up from your seat. The scene outside your window is different from a moment ago. You can GO EXPLORE, or ANSWER NAEGI, or any number of other things.

========> Asahina: Seek guidance

-- tastyAccomplishments began pestering gentleGiant --

TA: hey sakura-chan!

GG: Ah. Asahina, my girl.

GG: Are you well?

TA: ugh

TA: as well as i can be after seeing that

TA: anyway i was wondering

TA: uh

TA: what exactly am i meant to be doing?

GG: I cannot say I am entirely certain.

GG: Kirigiri is being reticent with information, as usual.

GG: Something is certainly amiss with Enoshima and Ikusaba, as well.

GG: For now, I believe it is best to continue setting up the game.

GG: Did you find the equipment I placed for you?

TA: yeah i did but

TA: now there's just a floating donut following me around?

TA: i'm so confused :(

GG: Hmm.

GG: The more technical aspects of this situation elude me, I'm afraid.

GG. My server has not contacted me recently.

GG: I have reason to believe there has been a ... break in the chain, so to speak.

GG: In the meantime, simply continue to set up Hagakure's equipment so that we can proceed.

GG: Ah, he has returned.

GG: Excuse me.

-- gentleGiant is an idle chum! --

... Aaaargh. Not helpful! You guess you'll just have to go back and try to help Hiro as best you can.

DONUTSPRITE: ☼ ☀ ☁ ☂☼ ☀☀ ☁☼ ☃ ☺!!!

Kyouko: Be Asahina

========>

Your name is AOI ASAHINA. It’s been a BUSY MORNING today! You were meant to wake up early to get to SCHOOL on time, but you sort of overslept, and then there was your MORNING SWIM (you can’t do anything before that, of course!), and then a HEARTY BREAKFAST, then you’d been so excited you texted SAKURA-CHAN about twenty times, and THEN you’d gotten that weird package, and now you’re trying to get it working! Still, all things considered, you’re in pretty good FORM this morning!

… Well, you would be, if THIS GUY would wake up and answer your pestering.

— tastyAccomplishments began pestering tranquilGuidance —

TA: oh my god hiro wake UP

— tranquilGuidance is an idle chum! —

You’re still not really sure why you’re waking him up, exactly. Something about some game? You’ve had it loaded up for a while but it’s just showing a picture of Yasuhiro in bed which was really not an image you ever needed to see. You have, like, five pesterlogs open at once and you’re not really sure what’s going on at all but Junko seems pretty excited about something. Which is unusual for her.

— tranquilGuidance is online! —

TA: FINALLY oh my god!

TG: uh

TG: oh hey hina

TG: whats goin on

TA: get up get up!

TA: and put on some clothes!!!!

TG: do i have to

TA: yes!!!

TG: wait how do you know im not wearing clothes

TG: can you

TG: hina are you watching me

TA: yes!! look it’s complicated, get dressed and go to the front door!

TG: … how long have you been watching me exactly

TA: it doesn’t matter! go!

— tastyAccomplishments ceased pestering tranquilGuidance —

There has to be a better way of doing this.

Be mikuro

========> Be Mukuro Ikusaba in the Land of Shells and Silence

It is very quiet here. You would go so far as to say that it is, in fact, completely silent, save for the crunch of broken metal beneath your boots. You haven't yet found any consorts, or really any sign of life here besides yourself and a series of unpleasant looking IMPS wearing WRESTLING MASKS. Perhaps when your classmates enter this place will become a little more lively.

Your name is MUKURO IKUSABA, and you are the first player to enter the medium.

-- candiedTerrorist began pestering terseConscript --

CT: Well?????

TC: well what

CT: What's it like? Is it desolate?

CT: Death-filled?

TC: don't say it

CT: DESPAIRING?

TC: ugh

TC: well ill give you desolate

TC: this place is totally empty

CT: Well ... it's a start!

CT: I'm, like, totally working on making things more EXCITING for you!

CT: For instance .... there's going to be a SURPRISE later!!

TC: are you going to prototype the bear

CT: ...

CT: :(

CT: C'mooooon!

CT: Nothing? Not even a LITTLE despair at the thought of fighting the most powerful being in the universe?

CT: Gimme something to work with here, sis :(

TC: is my lack of reaction causing you despair

CT: ...

CT: .......

-- candiedTerrorist is now an idle chum! --

You don't often get the upper hand on your little sister, but that just makes it more satisfying when you do.

From here there are several actions you could take. You could EXPLORE your LAND, CONTACT a CHUM, or even BE SOMEONE ELSE. What will you do?
