You watch the scene pass by you. A once daunting sunset is now a beautiful sunrise.
The ship passes above you, feeling almost like a huge whale in the sky..
The pods start to rumble, struggling to find a good landing spot.
It gives a warning, saying something along the lines of “Potentially rough landing imminent. Please tighten your safety buckles.
The pods land, and thankfully everything was safe. And everyone was together.
You all exit the pods, and stare off.
The ship is the only thing blocking your view.

“…We’re…going to start a changing process. This isn’t…the end, that I can tell. This is only the beginning of something new. A new future, not just for us…for us all. We’re finally going to have it. We’re going to unlock something that should’ve been given a long, long time ago.”
“Freedom.”

Now! Before it’s too late! Make your choice! Execute Torimi or the person whose trying to help you, Seojun!
You’re really going to pick him? HIM? You remember those diary entries, right? The world is in shambles. Without me, it’ll die! One fool’s life isn’t worth the entire earth, is it?

Right after Ethan was stabbed, too. He’s alive, but only because Runa found his body in the stairwell. Right after everyone was sent into a panic. Right after we investigated and searched and searched for clues on who the fuck thought attempted murder was a good idea. In four days, if no one kills, one of the captors will have the same fate as Ethel’s grandmother. In four days, they will have their life cut away instantly, and someone on this boat will be lead into turmoil.
Date and Time: Unknown. Location: Lower Bunker #3.
You know, things could have ended a lot worse, I’ll admit.
I was able to make up with Leon. I woke up this morning and decided to get a nice shower to let my thoughts calm down a bit more. It helped somewhat, but it didn’t end up calming my thoughts down immediately. I think I have some kind of addiction with gambling, at least with this gacha machine. I found a novel that was torn to shreds on the floor, though… I still have no idea what “Quintessential” is supposed to mean. I found a bag of candy to give to Leon, and was going to end up putting the items away, but I ended up finding Leon in our room, holding onto a plush canary. Well...better late than never, right?
I’d rather not put in details from our conversation here; I doubt he would want to see that I was writing about his experiences in here. Kind of a breach of privacy, wouldn’t you think, Diary? I wouldn’t want him to write about ɹ̶̲̠̘̺̳̤̘͆͒͗̈͊ǝ̴̺̘̲̠͓̜̀̈́p̴̢̫̰̥̹̝͕̆ɐ̸̨̳̤̣̝̱̄̎̐̍ɔ̵̧̣̣̲͕̿ʇ̴̱̫̥̞͇̐̇̔͗ǝ̶͉̌p̵̨͚̯̘͈͊̃̏̎͛̒̈́͜ ̷̛̝͓̣̺͓̦̲̃̀́̐̕ɹ̵̪̟̉̈́͠ǝ̶̲̊̀̈́̄p̵̡̠̩͎̦̦̫̽̍͛̌͑́̉ɐ̶̧̲̂̌͌̉̍̄ɔ̶̞́̄́͜ʇ̸̹̳̗͉̲̳͕̔͠ǝ̶͚̙͇̙̘̻̥̑̓̊͐͐p̵̤̙̖̤̞̋́̑͝ ̴̮̓͊̐̄̇́̕ɹ̴̪͎̝̹̘̳͑͊͌̽̀͝ǝ̶̳̮̯̳̯͚̰͌͋̉͑p̵̘̞͖̝̥̏̈́̃͂̂ͅɐ̴͚̿ɔ̷̘͇̤̩̼̣́̊̇̈́ʇ̴̧̱̝̥̦͔͊ǝ̴͚͖͚̝̀̔̓̅̓͗̎p̵̝̈̂̏͑͘, you know?
The point is, he had experiences that weren’t so great. I didn’t ask him for too much information, because again, breach of privacy. We end up making up in the weirdest way imaginable...he pranked me with the item I gave him. I’ll repeat that: Leonhard Vogel pranked me with shock gum, which was in the bag that I gave him, and I fell for it. We had a truce by forming a prank duo team thing. True, we haven’t done much of anything yet, but it’ll happen soon enough, right?
Oh, and he ate the crepes I made him. That kind of makes me relieved. ㋡
Though, we never did get to do that puzzle, huh? Someone had already solved it. I might go back later to get more coins, but we’ll have to see. I left for the kitchen, in search of breakfast. What I came across was the chanty-singing Sailor known as Tezuka Saki, as well as Runa, Fina, and Star Princess Cici. While I was making eggs for all of them, I had noticed Leon following in sneakily right behind me, and while Runa noticed him as well, I decided to keep myself a little quieter about it. He was up to something, but it wasn’t really made clear of what it was.
That is, until I asked if anyone wanted chives in their eggs, to which he popped out behind the kitchen counter, and responded. That ended up scaring the shit outta Saki and Fina. It was golden. Though, the lives of two glorious waffles and a potato were lost that day...They fell to the floor dramatically, and we all held a small funeral for the food that was now dirtied. Though, everyone except Leon and I insulted the potato, to which I responded with a pretty spudtacular pun. Then Runa made a pun. Then I made one, and asked Leon for back-up. It turned out into a full on, potato-filled war. We made Saki react in the most aggravated way, and it was fucking hilarious. Though, I think she was just joking about being upset. Maybe.
Though...something strange happened. Something that I really can’t describe happened, as soon as Raiden entered the room. It wasn’t necessarily right when he came in, per se, but that’s when I noticed that something. Runa...I don’t know what she’s doing to my chest, but she’s doing...something to me. It’s not a bad thing…I don’t think, at least. It’s just really confusing. I think I started to feel it again in the kitchen, and when we started chatting in the dining room again. She happened to mention my sister, and I told her about Ae-Joung. Apparently, Runa’s an only child. I wonder what that must be like? She also told me how she became a writer; it was something she had learned to do a lot as a kid and it was something she loved to do. I admire that, I really do.
It also helps with her stress. Do you think writing journal entries like these is the same for her?
She ended up leaving soon after, though. I didn’t know if I messed up again, like I did with Leon. Either way, I ended up spending a shit ton of coins to find something, before I realized there was something in my chest I could have used from the very beginning. Smart of me, huh? You know I mean that in sarcasm, diary. I went back into the room, and found Dmitri and Petra in there. They quickly left afterwards though. There were a lot of good items on my bed! I’m apparently being funded a Jack-in-the-Box army, and their weapons? Soccer balls! It’s brilliant. There’s a list of heirs down the commander list already, haha. Jack the First is already doing a great job, but I see potential in Jack the Second, the Third...you know what I mean.
Dmitri ended up coming back later. The look in his eyes was...not the most settling. It wasn’t bad, but he seemed at least stressed about something. I don’t have any idea what it may be, though. He mentioned it was a bad gacha item that Ethan threw back at him… (By the way, apparently he’s eye-fucking Leon according to Petra? Possibly me too? I...don’t know how to feel about that. Kind of creepy, if you ask me.) Leon came in shortly after, though. I know that he knows Dmitri better than I do, so I left him to it. I hope they’re okay.
I went back to Runa’s room, and she didn’t seem upset at all. Looks like she got inspired to write something, like she said after all. I ended up giving her an art supply set, and she seemed to like the ink that was inside of it...so much so she called me by my real name for the first time. Why did that of all things make my heart beat that much faster? It’s really fucking confusing, I’ll have to admit. I guess it was something I wasn’t used to. Since she originated the nickname of “Hairpins” for me, I guess I didn’t think she would call me by my real name like that. But that smile of hers...It hasn’t ceased to make me smile as well, y’know?
She seemed...happy. I want to keep that happy smile upon her face. Then again, I want to keep it on Leon’s, Dmitri’s, Cici’s, and a lot of people’s faces on this ship. I know we’re in a tough spot, so everyone needs to work together to make each other happy, that I know. So...why is she making my heart like this? Why is she making me feel like that all of a sudden?
I need to sleep on it. Hopefully I’ll have it figured out sooner than later.
There are so many places I can start. My head’s a mess. Everyone’s head’s a mess. I don’t know how to stay calm at this point. I’m grasping at straws here. I wish I didn’t find out. I wish I didn’t find out who kept us here...Who’s keeping us here.
An axolotl named Akomi pops out from behind the door, and basically tells us that we’re stuck in a killing game, and the only way to get out was to get away with murder. I’ll say that again. We’re stuck here, and we have to kill each other if we want to get out. He called me Hairpins...why would he call me that? Runa was the one to call me that. How would he know? How would he know that?
As soon as I thought this was a joke, a bird named Torimi pops in out of the blue, having an elderly woman in tow. The motive is apparently; “Kill, or your loved ones” die. I wouldn’t know what to do without my sister. She’s R̴͖̠̝̹̤̅̇͘͝ͅE̴̡̞̝͍̋̋͘Ḏ̷͋̇̾́͛̽̽̅͝A̷̛̹̜̜͛́͆̕ C̶̦͚͖̪̭̻͔͇̤̉̀̋̽̽̽̕͠T̶̥͖͙̬̠͚̦̬̲̫͋̆̐E̴̝̬̫̠̫͎̔̅̂́̚͘D̴͓͗̒͗̇ͅ ̸̡̠̫̐R̶̗̪͕͛͑͋̒̂̏̏͒̑͠Ḙ̸̡̦̤̠͓̻̯͓̥̃̈̾̋͒͑̚͘̕̚ D̸̗͉͉̬͚͈͎̲́̈́A̵̢̻͒͛̄́̕C̶̰̽͑T̴̼͊͝ Ę̶̛̰̻̥̇̊̉̀̎D̷̨͚̣̺͒̏͝ ̸̨̧̤͓̰͊̆̉̔͋̚͝͝Ȓ̸̰͕̼̭̳̭̠̥̐̆͗͗͜E̶̜̹͙̩̼̫͙̜͔͔͒̊̐̕D̷̥̘͖̒͝ A̷͎̔͋C̵̡̮̻̼̠͇̜̈́T̴̘̰̭̦̫̱̝͉̩̱͂͌̋Ȩ̸͇̲͚̮͇̬̥̯̀̏̇͌̑͊̌̓̓D̵̨̺̞̙̹̙͍̠͓̿͗̌̎͜ ̷̘͔̤̈́R̶̨̛̟̔̀͌͌̒̋̈́̐E̸̡̞̞͊͋̽ D̴̼͓̖̮̻͕̯̦́̅̀̚A̴̪̞̪̳̹̞̾̃̔̀͠C̶̤̳͚̝͇͓̔̑̿͑̆̈̿̀̕͠ͅT̸̢͉̗̹̥̠̪͇̃̓́E̷̱̩͓͂D̷͎͈͆́̔́͑. I hope she’s okay, wherever she may be. I know that this won’t be easy for any of us… The motive, and what happened next.
I’ll get to the point. Ethel’s dead. Akomi stabbed a fucking swordfish through her fucking throat, when she tried approaching and attacking it. Holy mother of god. There was so much blood. There was so, so much blood. When she was stabbed her eyes looked dead and oh god I don’t think I’m able to talk about this much longer. There was so much screaming, so many voices crying out in sorrow for Ethel. Ethel didn’t deserve this. ᴵ̶͕͊ ̸̗̉ˢ̴̺̎͂ʰ̶͊̈́ͅͅᵒ̷̬͎́ᵘ̴̧̫̄̕ᶫ̶̖͘̕ᵈ̸̥͔͑'̷͓͇̈͝ᵛ̷̜̈́̾ᵉ̷̨̒͝ ̸̤̃ᵇ̴͉͎́ᵉ̵̧͌ᵉ̷̘̹̌ᶰ̵͓̝͑̕ ̷͇̃ᶦ̵̧̯̃ᶰ̶͕͇͛ ̵̣̑ʰ̴̦̘̕ᵉ̵̧͕̒ʳ̷̳̀ ̶̹̐̀ᵖ̵̜̙͆̒ᶫ̶͇̎̑ᵃ̶̩̯͝ᶜ̴̱̫͌ᵉ̶̳̞̄̿⋅̸̧̨̑
At least we’re out of the anteroom. That didn’t mean we were out of trouble though. Chiyo cried and I followed her. So did Fina and Takuma, apparently. I saw Minori go by, and went after them. They seemed to be okay, just bad experiences that they’ve had. After that, I went to my room. I’m roomed with Leon and Raiden, and honestly, I think I’m pretty lucky to be paired with these two. I went to the kitchen to get myself something to eat, and I found my roommates there, along with Dmitri. We all started to look around in there.
Then, Manobu started to pick on Star Princess Cici. Of course, we weren’t having it, so we went out there to help her...Man, that architect is such a little bitch. All talk, no bite...Unlike, say, Petra, who threw a soccer ball at him. She let me keep it. I still have it. It’s kind of funny, really. She probably thinks I’m a freak for keeping it, but it kind of holds a different meaning to me. We went back into the kitchen to comfort Cici, and it took Leon getting a Jack-in-the-box to turn that frown upside down. Thankfully, I now have a new jester partner. His name is Mollymauk.
While in the middle of Leon and I making crepes, however...He passed out cold. He had been overworking himself, not sleeping, not eating...He hadn’t been taking care of himself. Of course, some of us freaked out, and we devised a plan afterwards. Liz and Izaya would take him. Izaya would pick up Leon, and meet Liz halfway to the infirmary, where they would put him in a wheelchair. Though...That’s not exactly how it happened. Because, as fate would have it, the red-headed vixen named Petra Sakai stepped through the kitchen door...with a knife in hand.
She almost threw that damn thing at Izaya, and I had to try to calm her down by explaining what happened. She didn’t believe me at first, but once I told her that she could check on him, she seemed to calm down...Then, Takuma started to yell. Not just yell, he threatened that he was the police, and that there were hostages, and I was not in the mood for him at that moment. Thus, I went out there, and told him to shut the fuck up...Basically. I think I scared Runa, though. Not exactly what I wanted to do, to be honest.
I apologized, and offered them to help me make crepes afterwards though! While we were there, we saw Chiyo, who I think passed out during the little mini fight with Petra. We made sure she was okay, and she went up to Takuma and asked him to eat with her, then go ice skating. The both of us [Runa and I] thought it was super cute. While we were talking though, Takuma mentioned something about a puzzle...in the armory I think? I haven't gone there yet. Anyways, that's when they went to eat.
Runa and I finished cleaning up. I stored the excess batter into a bowl; we can just make more later, right? While we were in the kitchen, we ended up awkwardly trying each others crepes. I think Runa liked mine...I doubt more than Leon’s, though! His was super good, and I don’t usually like sweets. I’ll have to thank Leon later for making them.
Leon…
...We went back to his room, after a stop to the gift shop. It seemed that he appreciated the food, but he seemed to become agitated when I asked him to sleep a little more often. Then, I gave him the short story of what happened, and...he seemed to believe I was...lying? He wanted to know more about what happened after the whole Petra thing. I explained it to him, detail to detail, as best as I could.
He walked out the door. His eyes were blank. I fucked up. I fucked up I fucked up I fucked up I don’t know how, but I did. I don’t if he hates me, but he probably is upset at me. I don’t know if he would want to talk to me for a good while, but I can understand why if he doesn’t want to. I messed up. What am I supposed to do? I don’t know what to do. I don’t know where he is. It just happened, and as I’m sitting down, writing in this goddamn journal, I don’t know if I should have gone after him. Am I a bad friend?

…
I wanna go home. I won’t kill for it, but I wanna go home I wish that things were better. I wish we all met in better ways than this fucking ship kidnapping.
Hey diary, do you have any bets as to when I’ll snap? I’m really sorry to be asking this, but as of right now, things seem to be spiraling out of control. Let me explain.
Everyone keeps fighting, and I understand why. I get that, being trapped with individuals you aren’t familiar with can be quite a fucking problem. Too many big personalities in one room can lead to bad things. Petra seems to be the one that people react to the most, but I can sense that there’s going to be more like her in our midst...Probably, maybe even worse than her. The reason why I brought her up was because of what happened after our truth or dare game.
I never brought that up, did I? I better change that. So, as an icebreaker, I suggested we played a game. Thanks to Runa, we decided to play truth or dare. I know you’re just a diary, so you might not know what the game is, but it’s as simple as it sounds, really. I’ll make a list right now.
I ended up starting, daring Leon to sing his least favorite song without cringing. He actually has a nice voice - he sang some kind of pop song, probably German. He ended up asking Takuma what his favorite song to play wa. Note: it was the House of the Rising Sun. Takuma dared Runa to stick her head in one of the fish tanks. I’m surprised how willing she was to do it; she’s a daredevil, huh? Especially in her dares. She dared Petra to (get this) take one of Leon’s candies, put it in someone’s mouth for ten seconds, then put it in her mouth for the rest of the game. Petra chose Takuma for this dare, and it was golden. Though the dare she gave left a very interesting presence in the room for a little while.
She dared Dmitri to...how do I say this? To lick the sole of her shoe. Normally, that would be a fucking death wish to almost anyone. I mean, it’s a pretty bold dare. Still, he pulled it off like a fucking savage. Then things got a bit fluffy. Dmitri dared Izaya to give Leon a hug, which was honestly nice. Izaya asked Raiden who in this room he’d cuddle...He answered Takeshi, which I think is extremely valid, to be honest.
Raiden dared Etheldred to give someone a compliment, and smile about it. God, that dude is honestly so sweet. Etheldred seemed to complain about it at first, since she wanted a “good dare”. Nevertheless, she complimented me on my style and intelligence..which was surprising, I’ll admit. She also dared me to imitate someone, and if I did it poorly, I would have to be slapped. I did Izaya, since his I could play off of with Leon. I was gonna do Ethan, but I digress. Then, I dared Minori to serenade someone for a good two minutes.
Damn. I was impressed. They serenaded Runa, but recited a section from “Romeo and Juliet”...And they pulled it off really well. They asked Chiyo if she thought anyone was cute. Typical, but clever. It certainly had a reaction, though I wonder who she thinks is the cute one in this room. Then she asked me about my henna tattoo. I showed everyone what it looked like, but I didn’t explain too much, other than it was a henna tattoo. I didn’t want to keep it up for too long; ř̵̮͖̝͍̒̈́̽̚e̵̞͉̽̍̇d̵̝͓̞̉͜a̴̢͎̪͑c̵̺̝̐ţ̶̫̲̹̏͌͗̉͝ẹ̸̱͖̝͆̎̏̓͠d̶̛͔̰̙̱͐͑ ̶̛̦͒̿r̶̛͍̞̘̤̍̓͝͝ͅȩ̵̛͍̭͇͊͑̚d̷̟͕͙̎̀a̸̡̛̓͒͂c̴͎̦̘͍̺̆͐̐͝ṯ̶̟̔̏͛͌e̶͔̹̰̎͊̀͆d̴̗̲̼̞̅̂ ̵͉̪̈́̕ṙ̷̨é̸̩̺̥̐͝d̵̬̠̆a̴̬̩͓͘̕͝ͅc̵̰̹͈̥͖͆͋͑t̵̖̯̄͋̂̀͌e̶̢̫̞͊̀͌͘̚d̸͖̲͕̝̓͊ ̷̼͈̯͂̃͒̍͒ṙ̴̘̩͗e̴̲̼̝̻̣̎̔́d̵͚͗͌͂̇͝ā̶̢̛͖̤͖̮̀̐̀c̶̦͕̥̬̋̂͛̂ẗ̴̤̪̪́̀́̎͠e̴̢̢̹̙̫͑̾̃̉d̴̪͊̈́̕̚ ̶̫̐̈́̏͒r̴̠͍͛́̅e̵͓͇̻̩̘͛̎͠͠ď̶̯͕͛͜ä̵̮͎c̵̛̯͊͛͆͝t̴̯̀ế̸͕̤̜̺͍̈́̕ḑ̸̺̣͒,
Since Runa liked dares, I dared her to be blindfolded for a few turns. She seemed to take that pretty well. [Note: Leon and I kept on offering our clothing items - kinda funny tbh.] She dares Ethel to sit on someone’s lap next for two rounds, in which she chose Petra. She then proceeded to ask Minori to reveal something about them, in which we found out their hair is a wig - their actual hair is more like mine, and I’ll have to say kudos to them. Though, someone said I was wearing crocs? I think it was a joke, considering I was quoting a vine, when Minori asked me…”WHAT ARE THOSE?”
Though, things went a bit south. Petra and Dmitri got into an argument, and I could tell by the look on Leon’s face that he was getting annoyed, and fast. He had to solve too many arguments to count already - I can sense his stress levels are rising. Thus, I ended up snapping at the both of them a bit, telling them that the game’s over, and for them to go their separate ways. Thankfully, they did - everyone did. I think the stress is getting to me too. Why won’t they let us out already? Why are we even here? It makes no fucking sense.
Right. Updates on relations.
Dmitri’s actually a really wise guy. Not only is he smart, but he’s really good at giving advice, too. Life advice. I kinda admire his way of thinking. Though, he likes to poke me a lot. I hope he liked how I braided his hair. He seems like a little brother to me.
Runa’s honestly one of the most positive people I’ve met so far. She always tries her best to make the darkest of things seem like they’ll turn out okay in the end. (She’s kinda cute too…) Pretty much a daredevil too, haha. It’ll be fun being friends with her.
As will Leon! Leon’s someone I really do admire and trust in this room. He’s nice to everyone, takes care of everyone, yet he knows how to have a little fun too. He likes the puns that we were making earlier. Perhaps a possible “bromance” is in the works? We’ll have to see.
Chiyo’s a really sweet gal. She’s meek, kind of shy, but she’s really bright and kind, and also really attentive. Though, her face always turns red around me...I hope she’s feeling okay.
Ethan Townsworth. Oh boy, I’ve heard about him. He’s the Criminal Psychologist, and he’s really good at what he does, that’s for damn sure. He’s also quite the flirt - a good one in fact. Has he had experience? I don’t know if I’m ready for that, haha.
Finally was able to talk to the Surgeon a little too. Her name’s Liz, and to be honest, she seems like a really nice gal too. Haven’t talked to her much, so we’ll have to see where things go, yeah?
Izaya Fanrong is the Fireworks Maker. *Very* anxious, but they seem to know a thing or two about puns. They’re overall pretty nice as well. Kind of like a Chiyo case, except...Well, they’re more anxious, I think. Who knows.
Minori Saeki is the Ultimate Accessory Maker, and like I said before, they’ve impressed me. Plus, they’re calling me by my alias now - haha, looks like we have more than one person who enjoys messing with people.
Finally, there’s the last person that woke up, Manobu Hasekara. The Ultimate Architect. I...don’t have a really good feeling about him right now. He’s kinda snobby, and stand-offish. He’s kinda like Petra, and we haven’t even talked much.
Speaking of Petra...Good god, did I learn something very...interesting about her family. I’ll share this at a later time, but turns out we’re both a fan of Ella. That’s a good thing, right? I’ll address her as the red-headed vixen - she has red hair, and is overall a mega-bitch, but some people like that, you know?
I can’t deny it; this is still confusing as shit. There’s so many people. Nineteen, including myself. I’ll have to ask again: why are we here? On a boat, inside the anteroom, with no recollection of how we got here? This is obviously a kidnapping, but who could have done this? And what do they want with students from Hope’s Peak Academy? Will we ever know?
Date: Unknown. Time: Unknown. Location: Apparently the “anteroom”.
So, I’ve never really written down my thoughts into words before. I haven’t felt the need to ever do it; it just wasn’t my thing, you know? It’s more or less my sister’s thing, at least, when she was little. I tried to snoop around and get to it when we were kids, but if she found out I was doing this? Fuck, she’d be laughing at me from...wherever she is. Hopefully she’s at home, and not stuck somewhere on this ship.
We’re literally lost at sea. We woke up in a room with no recollection of how we got here, and it’s driving me insane. Literally, I’m trapped in a room with several big and loud personalities. Whoever put us here must have been twisted, because they’ve succeeded in...Well, making us act like children. Apparently we’re also on a boat, according to someone who is the Ultimate Sailor.
That’s another thing. All of us are Ultimates coming from Hope’s Peak Academy, which can’t be just a coincidence. That’s gotta be worth the chances of one over sixteen million. No, probably even sixteen billion. All of these talents are actually pretty amazing, I mean...There’s a fucking surgeon on this boat, for Christ’s sake. Granted, I haven’t talked to her much, but she seems to be someone that will be useful on this ship, no doubt.
Speaking of people, let’s talk about some.
First, there’s this red-headed girl, the Ultimate Jazz Singer. Petra Sakai. I’ve heard of her; I’ve actually listened to some of her work in the past, and while it’s an honor to meet her...I have to give credit where credit is due, she is a mega bitch. Probably not a monster though. Probably. She’s savage for sure, a bit too much. She can get out of hand, especially when it comes to nearly beating the shit out of people. I’d like to see her try...another time, though.
The Sailor I mentioned before, Tezuka Saki. Haven’t interacted much with her, but she’s spirited and reckless. Actually landed a blow on Petra; pretty nasty one too. She’s someone not to mess with. Note to self, don’t make her angry. Still, Tezuka can get herself killed that way. She’s gotta be careful.
People that helped me investigate the room were Etheldred Himura, Leonhard Vogel, and Dmitri Cierizon. Respectively, they’re the Steampunk Designer, Dollmaker, and Pastry Chef.
Etheldred seems pretty aloof and strict, yet I think she just wants to be around sensible people, which I understand. She didn’t seem to react all too well at learning my talent at first, but she didn’t react too badly either? It’s off putting to some, and after learning that there were trolls harassing her online every day...Yeah, I see her point. But, she seems like a good ally to have. Just make sure to stay clean when talking to her.
Leon’s a really cool dude; I’ll have to admit! We haven’t talked too much at all, but he seems like a genuinely nice person, and one I’m more than glad to hang around with. He reminds me of a nurturing older brother. Hopefully I’ll get to know him better.
Dmitri’s kinda cute, in terms of his behaviors. He doesn’t like being teased about his height though; that’s something I’ll have to keep in mind. He’s also incredibly smart; he figured out the code to the safe! Though...It was with trial and error, but still, not too shabby. He’ll definitely be a good friend to have around.
Some other pretty noteworthy and kind people are Chiyo (Chess Player), Runa (Writer), and Raiden (Sumo Wrestler). They’re all kind in their own ways, and seem like good friends to have. Cici (Dressage)- Sorry, Star Princess Cici reminds me of my little sister when we were kids. Cute; hopefully she gets around safely. Takeshi (Video Editor) is someone I talked to a little bit as well; he seems like someone who’s laid back...and stuff. He seems nice.
Takuma? Takuma’s the Acoustic Guitarist...I don’t know how I feel about him. He’s definitely useful in our investigations; helped me figure out what was the point to unlocking the safe. But...The way he jokes is setting me off the wrong way. I don’t necessarily like him all that much, but I’ll stick around because he’s useful.
Of course, there’s others I’ve talked to; I’ll update what I think of them as I go along. As we go along, really. All of us are stuck here for a while. Looks like I’ll have to make some allies pretty soon. Hopefully, we’ll all be okay. Regardless of our personalities, we’re a smart bunch, huh? These journal entries might not be this long in the future, but hopefully there aren’t too many at all.
Countdown Challenge! Day 4/30: Talent Swap with another OC on the roster! @royal-despair Seojun swapped his talent with Petra’s for this day, making him the SHSL Jazz Singer. I believed that his voice was already inspired by jazz and some oldies, so I thought why not give this a whirl? ((Also this is the first time I’ve shown his bracelet and henna tattoo :0))
