Is that….a bear…? What’s it doing there? Why is it talking? Wait, headmaster…? What the fuck? Wait, KILLING?! What the fuck?!
Okay, breathe, Akiko, breathe. This can’t be real. There’s absolutely no way this is actually happening. It’s just a dream. Didn’t you watch Battle Royale last week? It’s probably just bleeding into your subconscious. After all, this shit only happens in movies. At any point, she’ll wake up, and be in bed. Or maybe she was still passed out in the hallway at Hope’s Peak.
Akiko pinched her leg, hoping to jolt herself awake, but she was still sitting in the chair, and now her leg really hurt. She tried again, but to no avail. Fuck. Okay. Be calm, be calm….Maybe it’s a joke? Like one of those prank TV shows or something. Any second now, someone would jump out from behind a curtain and shout ‘surprise!’ That has to be it, after all, there were all these cameras….
But none of that was happening. Akiko looked around at all the kids. Most were freaking out, some were incredulous, others were trying to come up with a game plan. Others still seemed frozen in their seats.
Okay, Akiko, be strong. Show no fear. You will not be a victim.
Akiko put on her game face and her voice joined the rest of the yelling students.
"You can’t be serious, right? This has to be some lame prank TV show. Shit like this only happens in movies."
She scowled at the bear. What was even up with that thing anyways? Was it some sort of advanced remote-controlled robot? An AI? Wait, no, that’s not the issue here.
Kill…or be killed…Kill…and get into Hope’s Peak. Oh God. Oh God. This couldn’t be real. It just couldn’t.
(✘)▶▶ "It does seem improbable if anything," the male moved towards the other and offered his words. Nothing about this seemed right at all, he'd have to agree-- there's no way that something like this could happen, right? "That bear-- did seem awfully convincing though," his facial features tighten at the thought of actually having to kill someone. Someone that he didn't know, at that.
"Maybe we should go investigate? If what he says is true, and the entrances are blocked off... then--" He didn't dare think of what would happen in a worst-case scenario. What if they were trapped here and forced to kill off one another for entry into Hope's Peak.
No one would actually do that...
...right?
"These cameras, however, are a bit concerning," he then motioned to the devices which happened to be installed in every single room and hallway.
"They're everywhere...
...even in the hallways on the way here I noticed them."
