Chapter Text
Shuuichi has had a bad day. He woke up in a locker and was apparently trapped inside some school. He also had to participate in some sort of bizarre killing game. But there were also some good things. His classmates were nice and they managed to find an exit. It was just too bad that the exit was impossible to go through. He also got close with another girl. All in all this day was eventful.
He now was inside his room and looking at his monopad. Everyone had gotten one. The rules of the killing game were written on there and he could keep track of his friendship fragments in there. He took at look at the student profiles. It just had some basic information about them and it seemed that if you got closer to them you would get more information. He then looked at his own profile. He wanted to know what the others would see when they looked at his profile but he was disappointed when he didn't see anything. So he kept pressing hoping that it was some sort of bug. After pressing it five times a weird message appeared on the screen.
'New application successfully downloaded.'
He was curious as to what this new application is and returned to the home screen where he saw that an extra tab was added. This tab says 'messages' and he is curious enough to check it out. It can't be that bad right? He pressed on the button and a screen appears.
'Shuuichi Saihara has been added to: 'The Danganronpa Squad'
What? He looks at his screen. It was some sort of message app that he could use to talk to other people. He should tell the others about this tomorrow. For now he went to investigate the app. He pressed on the help button and an information screen appeared.
'Welcome to Usami's magical message experience. This application has been secretly added to the monopads for people to talk and bond. All for friendship and hope.
Warning: You may not give the password to install this app to anyone, as Monokuma might find out if people start talking about it.'
Well then that's weird. Who's Usami by the way? And that blew his plan out the window. But before any more questions could enter his mind he received a message.
Hajime Hinata: Hey!
Hajime Hinata: I didn't think someone else would enter
Shuuichi looked at his screen with wide eyes. Someone else had found out about the texting app. He tried to remember but he didn't think that any of his classmates was called Hajime. He typed a reply:
Shuuichi Saihara: Hey
Hajime Hinata: who are you? I don't think any of my classmates had your name?
Shuuichi Saihara: Same
Hajime Hinata: what are u doin so late?
Shuuichi Saihara: couldn't sleep. Didn't have a good day
Hajime Hinata: haha same!
Hajime Hinata: all this craaazy shit happend
Hajime Hinata: and I have all these crazy classmates
Hajime Hinata: also have some strange case of amnesia
Shuuichi Saihara: that's tough
Izuru Kamukura: Shut up people. The bleeping is annoying me. It's 4 am go to sleep.
Shuuichi Saihara: who's that
Hajime Hinata: dunno
Hajime Hinata: didn't know he was in here
Izuru Kamukura: shut up.
Hajime Hinata: geez someones pissed
'Izuru Kamukura temporarily silenced Hajime Hinata for 3 hours because 'he should go to sleep'
Izuru Kamukura: I'm admin. Go to sleep.
Shuuichi looks at his screen. He has no idea who those people are but they seem nice. For now he should try to get back to sleep. He doesn't want to feel tired in the morning.
That night nothing much happened.
Shuuichi woke up at the morning announcement the monokubs made and got ready to get out and go to the dining hall. He was still overwhelmed from yesterday but a 'night' sleep did wonders.
He was about to go out when a bleep coming from his pockets took him of guard. He took the monopad out and saw that Hajime had messaged him.
'Makoto Naegi has been added to: 'The Danganronpa Squad'
Hajime Hinata: another one?
Shuuichi Saihara: as it appears. You know him?
Hajime Hinata: nope
Makoto Naegi: uuhm hey?
Hajime Hinata: yo
Shuuichi Saihara: hey
Makoto Naegi: who are you guys?
Makoto Naegi: youre not some hidden classmates right
Hajime Hinata: what makes you say that?
Makoto Naegi: seems possible.
Shuuichi Saihara: maybe we should do some introductions. I have zero idea who you guys are
Shuuichi Saihara: you can read my name and uhm…
Shuuichi Saihara: I'm the ultimate detective
Hajime Hinata: wow more ultimates
Hajime Hinata: Hajime is my name and I can't remember my talent
Hajime Hinata: have some amnesia things going on
Makoto Naegi: don't worry about it. One of my classmates has that too.
Shuuichi Saihara: same here
Shuuichi Saihara: what about you Makoto? I can call you that right?
Makoto Naegi: sure.
Makoto Naegi: my talent is probably pretty lame compared to you guys but im the ultimate lucky student.
Hajime Hinata: wow what?
Shuuichi Saihara: what is it Hajime?
Hajime Hinata: he used almost exactly the same intro as 1 of my classmates
Hajime Hinata: they even have the same talent
Shuuichi Saihara: what. Is that possible?
Makoto Naegi: really?
Hajime Hinata: I didn't think it was possible either.
Hajime Hinata: does hope's peak elect multiple people with the same talent
Izuru Kamukura: Hope's Peak holds the lottery once a year. So in every year there is one lucky student.
Hajime Hinata: and there he is
Hajime Hinata: that's understandable
Hajime Hinata: Izuru introduce urself as ewll
Izuru Kamukura: how boring
Izuru Kamukura: You can read my name, I think. I'm known as the ultimate hope.
Makoto Naegi: hope?
Shuuichi Saihara: what does that entail?
Izuru Kamukura: none of your business.
'Izuru changed the name settings to first name only'
Hajime: that makes things a little easier
Hajime: but boy am I glad that I still have some connection to the outside world
Makoto: what do you mean?
Hajime: I remembered getting into hopespeak and then blacking out and then I woke up with my classmates on some abandoned island
Hajime: and there is a rabbit saying we have to collect hope fragments for friendship or some bullshit
Makoto: tough. But my situation is worse. I remembered just like you getting in hopes peak and blacking out but I woke up in a classroom and I have to participate in a killing game orchestrated by some bear named Monokuma
Shuuichi: you too?
Makoto: whatd' you mean?
Shuuichi: Monokuma is also forcing me to participate in a killing game
Makoto: what!
Hajime: now I'm glad Im not in your situation
Makoto: you better be
Makoto: and I thought hopes peak would be a great time
Hajime: same
Shuuichi: I've been wondering for a while but what is this Hope's peak school your all talking about?
Hajime: you don't know?
Izuru: ?
Makoto: how?
Shuuichi: I'm sorry but I really don't know
Hajime: but you're a ultimate right
Shuuichi: yes and I'm trapped with 15 others
Hajime: ultimates can only be elected by hopespeak right?
Izuru: That is correct.
Shuuichi: I'll ask if my classmates know anything
Makoto: good luck
Shuuichi: Ill come back later I got to go.
Makoto: same
Shuuichi was awakened from whatever dimension he was in by the doorbell. He quickly stood up and opened the door only to find Kaede.
'Shuuichi where were you this entire time?' she asked the detective.
'I-I slept in. I c-couldn't sleep and now I woke up late?' he apologized and she didn't seem to notice his half lie.
'Just come with me to the dining hall. Kirumi made some good food.' And she took him by the arm. The talk in the dining went about as well as you would expect. Monokuma introduced a motive: the first blood perk. Which stated that the first killer could get away for free.
The rest of the day he spent with Kaede in the library where he had found a hidden door. It wasn't very eventful but it was nice to have a good friend. It was only when he was back in his own room that his monopad started bleeping again.
Hajime: guys
Makoto: yes
Shuuichi: here
Hajime: Monokuma appeared here too
Makoto: no
Hajime: and now we have to kill eachother to egt of this island
Makoto: yeah. At least you can go outside right?
Hajime: yeah
Shuuichi: same
Makoto: im jealous
Shuuichi: don't be. There is a giant cage around where I am
Makoto: the rules of the killing game confuse me
Hajime: how so
Makoto: they say that the blackened is allowed to leave unless they are caught. But how do we catch them
Shuuichi: a classtrial right?
Hajime: I think so too
Shuuichi: I think its just plain depressing that only two people can get out of this alive
Hajime: what ya mean?
Shuuichi: its in the rules. 'The killings will continue until there are only two students left'
Makoto: I don't have this rule
Hajime: me neither
Hajime: and im glad about htat
Makoto: also does any of you know who Usami is. We have to thank her for creating this app
Hajime: she is one of the 'teachers' with me on the school trip. She was pretty nice until…
Shuuichi: until what
Hajime: until Monokuma cam e and reformed her into Monomi
Makoto: that's sad
Makoto: do you really think someone will start killing
Shuuichi: maybe. We got our first motive today
Hajime: a motive?
Shuuichi: apparently the first person to kill someone can choose not to have a classtrial and leave immediately
Makoto: do you think anyone is going to kill?
Shuuichi: I don't know
Shuuichi: Kaede is doing her best to keep us all together but things are bound to go wrong sometime with such a large group
Shuuichi: and then there is Kokichi
Hajime: who are they?
Shuuichi: Kaede is this really sweet girl and she is the ultimate pianist
Hajime: got a crush?
Makoto: ?
Shuuichi: Kokichi is a lying bastard. He switches side every five minutes and not a single truth can come from his mouth
Makoto: what s his talent
Shuuichi: ultimate supreme leader
Shuuichi: no idea what it means
Hajime: then ask
Shuuichi: he'll lie about it
Hajime: we didn't get a motive but were going to have a party
Shuuichi: what?
Makoto: to celebrate a killing game?
Hajime: no way.
Hajime: to bring us together
Hajime: Byakuya came with the idea and almost everyone agreed
Makoto: Byakuya?
Makoto: like Byakuya Togami?
Hajime: yes?
Makoto: how can that be? He is one of my classmates
Hajime: huh?
Shuuichi: how?
Makoto: we haven't talked much but he seems like your regular spoiled rich kid. Hes and asshowl
Hajime: I thought he was pretty nice. Very forward but nice
Shuuichi: it seems as if they are two different people with the same name
Shuuichi: maybe you should explain how he looks like. Then we can determine if they are the same person or not
Makoto: as expected of the ultimate detective
Izuru: Makoto, you made him blush.
Shuuichi: how'd you know?!
Makoto: he was right?
Izuru: Just by analyzing your speech pattern I noticed that you are the type that would blush at compliments
Hajime: wow
Shuuichi: how?
Izuru: Talent.
Makoto: hah?
Hajime: so my Byakuya looks a bit strange. He is very fat with blond hair and glasses
Makoto: he's fat?
Makoto: mine isn't
Makoto: he's as think as a stick
Izuru: It would appear as though one of the Togami's is a imposter.
Makoto: Izuru are you also in a killing game? Why are you in here?
Izuru: To be honest I don't know. I shouldn't be conscious right now.
Hajime: what do you mean
Izuru: nothing.
Shuuichi: where are you then?
Izuru: some black space with no doors and no exit.
Makoto: sounds lonely
Izuru: not really. I have always been alone.
Hajime: but don't you feel any sadness? I would be devastated to be alone
Izuru: I was made to be incapable to feel emotions.
Shuuichi: made?
Shuuichi: are you a robot?
Izuru: no
Makoto: why would you ask that Shuuichi
Shuuichi: one of my classmates is a robot. His name is Kiibo. He does feel emotions though.
Makoto: really! That's so cool!
Hajime: that's awesome
Shuuichi: I know right!
Makoto: have you found anything on hopes peak yet
Shuuichi: I asked my classmates but they didn't know anything either
Shuuichi: Tsumugi did have a strange look on her face though
Hajime: strange
Shuuichi: so can you guys explain?
Hajime: Hope's peak is this amazing school that only allows talented students. They go there for three years as an ultimate. and then after you gradiate you are set forlife
Shuuichi: sounds nice
Makoto: the inside is pretty creepy though
Makoto: there are these colored lights that adds to the creepy factor
Makoto: also some of the doors are closed
Shuuichi: same here. Though I heard that some of the research labs will open soon
Hajime: research labs?
Shuuichi: each student here gets one. You can practivse your talent there
Izuru: I wonder what my lab would look like.
Hajime: same, maybe I would be able to figure out my talent
Makoto: my lab would be filled with luck games, I think
Hajime: probably
Shuuichi: that would be very likely
Hajime: what about your lab?
Shuuichi: I asked Monokuma he said mine was on the 5th floor. We can only acces the first and second floor for now
Hajime: shame
Shuuichi: Kaede and I are doing our best to capture the mastermind at the moment
Makoto: how?
Shuuichi: I found a hidden door in the library. Is has monokuma's pattern.
Hajime: well it seems as if you found a hidden lair
Makoto: nice. We didn't find anything like that
Shuuichi: be glad
Hajime: how so?
Makoto: ?
Shuuichi: if you can't find the mastermind it is very likely they're watching from the outside. The fact that we managed to find it now means that it is very likely one of my classmates is the mastermind
Izuru: ^
Makoto: when you put it like that…
Hajime: that isn't good
Hajime: at least you've found someone that you trust
Shuuichi: yeah
Hajime: I usually hang out with Nagito Komaeda but something about him is unsettling
Makoto: who's Nagito?
Hajime: the other lucky student
Makoto: cool!
Makoto: I've been hanging out with Sayaka Maizono
Hajime: that popstar?!
Makoto: yup
Makoto: we already knew eachother we went to the same school
Shuuichi: ?
Hajime: nice
Makoto: what is ti?
Shuuichi: I've never heard of her either
Hajime: how shes been all news
Makoto: true she won many awards
Izuru: You are a detective right?
Shuuichi: kinda
Shuuichi: only solved one murder though
Izuru: Then you know about the mafia right?
Shuuichi: yes
Izuru: Have you heard about the Kuzuryuu clan?
Shuuichi: cant say I have
Hajime: how
Hajime: even I knw about them
Hajime: there pretty famous
Makoto: true
Izuru: It seems as if my theory has been confirmed.
Shuuichi: ?
Makoto: explain
Izuru: I thought it was strange that Naegi came in and told us that he was in a killing game.
Izuru: I remember hearing on the news that that killing game had already ended. Three years ago.
Makoto: what!
Shuuichi: how
Izuru: It seems that our communication is defying space and time. Hajime is messaging back in time and Shuuichi...
Shuuichi: ?
Izuru: it is very likely that you are from a different world. Maybe a parallel universe or a different world completely. I can't confirm.
Shuuichi: somehow it makes sense
Shuuichi: because I know nobody you know
Makoto: you remember my killing game
Izuru: I haven't watched it. I don't know what happened.
Makoto: oh
Shuuichi: bummer
Makoto: it would have been nice to know who was behind everything
Shuuichi: true
Shuuichi: where's hajime?
Makoto: maybe he fell asleep
Shuuichi: well I think I'm going to sleep too. Tomorrow is a new day
Makoto: cheesy
Makoto: night Izuru
The next morning
Hajime: what?
Hajime: Shuuichi si fro another world
Hajime: How?
Hajime: wow I got some bad bedhead
Hajime sent a picture
Shuuichi: wow
Shuuichi: why you up so early
Shuuichi: its two hours before announcement
Hajime: fell asleep early
Makoto: you look pretty cool
Hajime: really
Hajime: I thought I was pretty average
Makoto sent a picture
Hajime: your hair is worse than mine
Hajime: your cute tohug
Shuuichi: you two look pretty alike
Shuuichi: hajime is more manly though
Makoto: not fair!
Shuuichi: don't worry
Shuuichi: you don't wanna know how many time people mistaken me for a girl
Hajime: really? sent a pic
Shuuichi: …
Izuru: just do it.
Hajime: Izuru you tooo
Izuru sent a picture
Hajime: that hair
Shuuichi: and I thought Kiyo has some hair
Makoto: your face is very similar to Hajime
Shuuichi: nearly identical I would say
Shuuichi: only the eyes are a different color
Hajime: now that you mention it
Hajime: r we related?
Izuru: I have no idea.
Hajime: now Shuuihci
Shuuichi: I don't know if I want this
Makoto: no need to be shy
Makoto: we wont judge
Hajime: ^
Izuru: ^
Shuuichi sent a picture
Makoto: wow
Makoto: you're the most different of us all
Makoto: im jealous
Shuuichi: why?
Makoto: those lashes
Hajime: true most girls don't have lashes that long
Shuuichi: wut?
Hajime: haha
Izuru: Do you usually wear a hat?
Shuuichi: yeah. Howd you know?
Izuru: you hair curves slightly on the top of your head. This can only happen if you regularly wear a hat.
Shuuichi: wow
Shuuichi: what's your talent again?
Izuru: hope
Makoto: I still don't know what that means
Hajime: ^
Izuru: It means that I have pretty much every talent that is out there.
Makoto: wow
Shuuichi: is that even possible?
Hajime: !
Izuru: how I got them is none of your business.
Hajime: I just noticed something important
Makoto: what?
Hajime: we all have one
Shuuichi: we all have a what?
Hajime: ahoge
Hajime: even Izuru
Hajime: his is very long though
Makoto: and how is that important?
Hajime: imagine all the club names we could come up with
Shuuichi: why?
Hajime: anyone could come here
Hajime: we don't know if we can trust them
Hajime: so I think we need to make a chat
Hajime: for just us 4
Makoto: that would be nice
Shuuichi: it is important then that all theorizing is done in that chat
Makoto: I agree
Makoto: anyone can read our messages here
Hajime: I sent the id and pass to you all in pm
Shuuichi looked at his monopad. It was still a bit before the announcement so he had some time to spare. We he got the message from hajime he immediately filled in the id and pass to the group.
ID: ahoge
Password: MMGU
Shuuichi joined ahoge
Izuru joined ahoge
Makoto joined ahoge
Makoto: whats with the pass
Hajime: magical miracle girl usami
Hajime: that's how she introduced herself
Shuuichi: really?
Shuuichi: thats weird
Hajime: yup
Makoto: I hope today will be fine
Shuuichi: same
Shuuichi: Monokuma can stay dead
Hajime: what?
Shuuichi: Monokuma was killed by and exisal yesterday
Shuuichi: classmates have been celebrating
Shuuichi: but I think he has some spares
Makoto: true
Makoto: Monokuma exploded here
Makoto: they have some build in bomb
Makoto: he appeared a second later though
Shuuichi: another proof that you mastermind is somewhere else
Hajime: Monokuma didn't die yet
Makoto: I hope we wont get a motive
Hajime: same
Hajime: dunno how to handle that
Makoto: but I don't think Monokuma will just wait for us to start the killing
Makoto: he was very eager
Hajime: and then ther is the amnesia
Hajime: I apparently went to hpa for years
Hajime: but these memeories hve been aersed
Hajime: the of my classs rest 2
Shuuichi: that's harsh
Makoto: hope that didn't happen here
Shuuichi: same
Shuuichi: my memories are pretty fuzzy tho
Hajime: that probably cuz that some memores r missin
Shuuichi: true
Makoto: what abuot you Izuru?
Izuru: I never had many memories. They had been erased when I was created.
Shuuichi: created?
Makoto: ?
Hajime: you say some strange stuff sometimes
Izuru: Do I?
Makoto: yes
Shuuichi: there is probably some context we don't get
Makoto: that would make sense
Makoto: you can explain it to us
Izuru: no
Makoto: feel free to explain whenever you feel like
The morning announcement came and Shuuichi knew he had something to do. He got up and dressed and quickly went to the basement without anyone noticing. Yesterday, he checked the card reader and the dust he had placed there was still there. He reaches the library and opens the hidden door. He looks at the card reader and the dust was gone. His theory could be right after all.
He then went to the dining hall to go and tell Kaede what he found. Only to see that Monokuma was indeed back and even set a time limit. After that whole strange mess he takes Kaede with him to the library where he explains what he found. He knows he should tell the message group about it but that can wait.
So he spent the rest of the morning hanging out with Kaede.
In the afternoon he had nothing to do so he took out his monopad and began texting.
Shuuichi: hey?
Makoto: hey
Hajime: yo
Shuuichi: has anything happened?
Makoto: we got a motive
Hajime: me too
Hajime: kinda
Shuuichi: ?
Hajime: just the promise that our forgotten memories will return
Makoto: we got a motive video
Makoto: I saw my family
Makoto: and then the living room was ruined. As if someone came in and tried to kill them
Makoto: dunno what happen
Makoto: but only when we kill we find out
Shuuichi: that's bad
Hajime: and sad
Makoto: at the beginning they looked so happy
Shuuichi: we also got a motive
Izuru: Another one?
Shuuichi: a time limit
Hajime: WHAT!
Shuuichi: 'If a murder does not occur by nighttime in two days, everyone forced to play the killing game will die.'
Shuuichi: that's what he said
Makoto: painful
Shuuichi: but it seems odd
Hajime: howso?
Shuuichi: why say everyone forced to participate and not just everyone
Hajime: that is a little odd
Makoto: its Monokuma right
Makoto: he can exaggerate
Shuuichi: I know
Shuuichi: but it backs up an earlier theory
Shuuichi: that the mastermind is one of us
Shuuichi: I think that they would have volunteered for the killing game
Shuuichi: that's why only those forced will die
Hajime: that does make sense
Makoto: still scary tho
Shuuichi: right
Izuru: I don't think it makes much sense.
Shuuichi: howso?
Izuru: Monokuma seems eager for you guys to start the game. If he wanted you all dead he would have killed you all already.
Shuuichi: gosh are you implying that more of us have volunteered
Izuru: It is most likely.
Shuuichi: why?
Hajime: why?
Izuru: I don't know. I don't have sufficient information to make any more conclusions.
Shuuichi: it does make sense
Shuuichi: but I don't wanna believe it
Makoto: same
Makoto: ever since we saw our videos Maizono's been acting strange
Makoto: she starts shaking and screaming
Makoto: its terufrying
Hajime: I believe
Hajime: no such things happened here
Hajime: we seem to get along pretty well
Hajime: and we are preparing for the party in two days
Shuuichi: wish that was the case here
Makoto: ^
Hajime: sorry guys
Shuuichi: don't worry about it
Makoto: you cant change it
Hajime: sorry guys I got to go
Shuuichi: why?
Hajime: Nagito wants to hang outd
Makoto: good luck
Hajime: I see what you did there
Makoto: what are you talking about?
Hajime: …
Hajime: bye
Shuuichi: bye
Makoto: so Shuuichi what you wanna talk about
Shuuichi: dunno
Shuuichi: you suggest
Makoto: monocoins!
Shuuichi: ?
Makoto: do you guys get monocoins too
Shuuichi: yeah
Shuuichi: they're hidden in the strangest places
Shuuichi: and you can trade them for strange stuff
Makoto: same
Makoto: I put it in the monomono machine and got the 0.0000003% chance thing
Shuuichi: what!
Shuuichi: you really are lucky
Makoto: well most times im actually pretty unlucky
Makoto: but I got the escape button. Monokuma took it away immediately tho
Makoto: he was muttering about putting it in there for giggles and the lucky student winning
Makoto: it wasn't very friendly sounding
Shuuichi: its pretty strange that he put that in there in the first place
Makoto: I know
Makoto: you got anything weird?
Shuuichi: this thing called the gun of a mans passion. When I touch it I get strange thoughts so I hid it away
Makoto: ?
Shuuichi: and exploding bubblegum
Makoto: that sounds like Monokuma alright
Shuuichi: I saw Kokichi eating it earlier. It was pretty annoying
Shuuichi: Kirumi forced it out of his mouth later
Makoto: who's Kirumi
Shuuichi: she the ultimate maid
Shuuichi: if we ask her anything she does it
Makoto: and she is fine with that?
Shuuichi: she prefers it that way
Shuuichi: I have yet to find something she cant do
Makoto: sounds nice
Makoto: Im cooped up with a bunch of egoists
Makoto: some do care about others but only friends
Makoto: its pretty separated
Shuuichi: That's annoying
Shuuichi: were lucky that Kaede is there to bring us together
Makoto: I wish I were home
Shuuichi: yes
Shuuichi: imma go to the library
Makoto: to spy on the mastermind?
Shuuichi: no
Shuuichi: find a book to read
Makoto: you like books
Shuuichi: I adore books
Makoto: is mystery your favorite genre?
Shuuichi: yes
Makoto: I'm not much of a reader tho
Shuuichi: how
Shuuichi: books are pretty much magic
Shuuichi: its incredible how words can bring the world to live
Shuuichi: and imagining yourself at the places is amazing
Makoto: ure a fanboy
Shuuichi: bye
Makoto: I wonder if he found a good book
Izuru: That would make the most sense.
Makoto: do you have any hobbies?
Izuru: I don't have something as nonsensical as a hobby.
Makoto: youre strange
Izuru: So I have been told. I do enjoy riding on boats though.
Makoto: I think that would count as a hobby
Shuuichi had indeed found an interesting book. Just by reading the back cover he made the decision to read it. It had that name on it after all. He would have to tell Makoto about it later. It might be important.
Between reading and planning what he would do to catch the mastermind, time went by quickly. He didn't even have to force himself. He didn't get too far in the book though. And there were apparently multiple volumes too so he doubted he would be able to get the entire story. But when evening rolled around he decided he would ask Makoto about that.
Hajime: and then suddenly a giant truck hit Nagito out of nowhere
Makoto: wow that guy has a extreme luck cycle
Hajime: now I see how it can be considered a talent
Hajime: didn't really understand it before
Makoto: me too
Makoto: still don't though
Shuuichi: just what are you guys talking about?
Hajime: Nagito and his weirdness
Hajime: was the book fun?
Shuuichi: it was interesting
Shuuichi: makoto do you have a younger sister
Makoto: yes, howd you know
Shuuichi: is her name Komaru
Makoto: yes
Makoto: how?
Shuuichi: the book I found
Shuuichi: its about your sister
Hajime: hows that possible?
Izuru: I am curious as well.
Shuuichi: I haven't gotten far yet
Shuuichi: but its her working together with some genocider sho or something
Hajime: what?!
Makoto: that serial killer
Shuuichi: she's a serial killer?
Izuru: So genocider is female.
Shuuichi: you didn't know?
Makoto: NO!
Makoto: whys my sis working together with a serial killer
Shuuichi: calm down
Shuuichi: it isn't that bad
Shuuichi: genocider is actually a split personality of some girl
Shuuichi: some girl name Touko Fukawa
Makoto: what!
Hajime: whats wrong?
Makoto: that's one of my classmates
Shuuichi: really?
Shuuichi: that Byakuya guy also appears at the start
Shuuichi: he saves your sis
Shuuichi: and he is a member of a organization named future foundation
Makoto: what?
Makoto: but where trapped here
Makoto: did that happen before we were trapped here
Izuru: No, I don't think so. It takes place in Towa city correct?
Shuuichi: howd you know
Izuru: I remember hearing about it. It happened after Makoto's killing game.
Makoto: so Byakuya and touko survive the whole thing?
Shuuichi: that's possible. But Monokuma wrote the book so we cant be sure
Makoto: lucky them
Hajime: be glad
Hajime: now you know that you don't have to doubt them
Hajime: about killing anyone
Hajime: even if one is a serial killer
Shuuichi: also its pretty dark, despite monokuma's writing style
Makoto: what you mean?
Shuuichi: its about some tragedy
Shuuichi: the kids in the city are killing all the adults
Shuuichi: with monokumas
Shuuichi: its pretty gory
Shuuichi: but monokumas descriptions make it a little lighter
Hajime: what?
Hajime: those kids are stupid
Shuuichi: I get the feeling that they went through some bad things
Shuuichi: they're really scared
Shuuichi: that's the impression I get
Makoto: wait
Hajime: What?
Makoto: if Komaru is safe there I don't have to worry about her
Makoto: it takes place after right
Makoto: the video I saw isn't useful anymore
Hajime: that's great
Hajime: now you wont kill
Makoto: I wasn't planning to do that any way
Shuuichi: So what are you guys doing tomorrow
Hajime: prepare for a party and hang out iwith some people
Makoto: try to make frineds
Shuuichi: that's great
Shuuichi: im gonna get some cameras made
Shuuichi: to set up in the library
Hajime: that's a good idea
Hajime: where you gonna get those cameras tho
Shuuichi: warehouse
Shuuichi: and if not I can ask Miu if she wants to make them
Makoto: You are making all these plans to end the game and Im just trying to make friends
Makoto: I feel so useless
Hajime: don't. youre awesome
Shuuichi: yeah
Shuuichi: you're gonna be fine
Makoto: thanks
Shuuichi had found that the book was pretty entertaining even though it was written by Monokuma. The descriptions the bear put in were pretty funny if not ridiculous. But he still wasn't able to finish the first chapter it was that dark. He would continue reading tomorrow.
The next morning he didn't have the time to read because he went straight to Miu together with Kaede to convince her to make the cameras. With some trouble they managed to convince her. After that they got the supplies and brought them to the inventors lab and they managed to get her to start working. In the afternoon they split up and he finally managed to get some reading time. At least that's what he thought.
Makoto: Anyone here?
Izuru: Always.
Makoto: of course
Makoto: anyone else
Shuuichi: here
Hajime: half
Makoto: ?
Hajime: hanging out with Chiaki
Hajime: were gaming
Hajime: but I die to quickly in this game
Hajime: she continues alone
Makoto: who is she?
Hajime: Chiaki Nanami the ultimate gamer
Hajime: she really cute
Hajime: but has 0 social skils
Shuuichi: that's nice
Shuuichi: youre making a lot of friends
Hajime: yup and collecting all these hope fragments
Makoto: sounds nice
Makoto: I can literalyy feel the tensions rising here
Makoto: people have been on edge the entire time
Shuuichi: we've been doing whatever
Shuuichi: Kaede went to her research lab today
Shuuichi: she was talking about it all morning
Makoto: good that she s hapy
Makoto: any news on any masterminds?
Shuuichi: nothing new
Hajime: sort of
Shuuichi: explain
Hajime: I don't think we have one
Hajime: Monokuma revealed to me that he was an AI
Hajime: he also mentioned that his creators were far away or dead
Hajime: If there is a mastermind there not here with us
Makoto: ours is definitely in the school
Makoto: apparently on one of the upper floors
Makoto: that's what Monokuma said yesterday when I got the escape button
Hajime: anyway
Hajime: tomorrow I will finally be able to eat the food of the ultimate cook
Shuuichi: tomorrow I will probably die
Makoto: don't be so pessimistic
Makoto: youll be fine
Hajime: youre a detective
Hajime: you find the mastermind before the mastermind find you
Izuru: Hajime I don't think that's how it works.
Shuuichi: Izuru how you doing
Izuru: I am bored.
Hajime: aren't you always
Izuru: Yes.
Hajime: there is a problem
Shuuichi: what?
Hajime: I think Nagito has a crush on me
Makoto: uh…
Hajime: hes been stalking and asking for picture from Mahiru
Hajime: its creeping me out
Shuuichi: good luck
Makoto: sending you my luck
Izuru: Treat him some food. It'll keep him away for a little while.
Hajime: why…..
Hajime: I hate you guys
*Ding dong*
Shuuichi looked at the door. Who would ring his door now? He opened the door and sees a smiling Kokichi. The little boy told him something about being given a rare opportunity and took the detective away. Shuuichi was just able to give a little goodbye to the others before he was completely dragged away.
When he returned to his room he was completely bummed out and tried to fall asleep but he couldn't. Tomorrow was bugging his mind but after half a night of worrying he still fell asleep. He awoke the next morning to the morning announcement. He quickly went to dress himself and while he was dressing himself he heard the doorbell. He finished and when he opened the door he saw Kaede.
They went to get the cameras from Miu but were interrupted because there was a fight in the dining hall. They split up, he went to Miu and she went to the dining hall. Miu had indeed finished the camera's and gave him a quick but detailed rundown of how they worked.
After breakfast he and Kaede went to the library to set up the cameras. He explained everything about the cameras to her and they went to work. After setting up the cameras they went to wait by the classroom by the stairs so they could look out for anyone going down. While he was in the classroom he chatted a bit with Kaede but that got a little boring after a while. So he took out his monopad and started texting the other guys.
Shuuichi: someone here?
Makoto: in
Hajime sent a picture
Shuuichi: why are you on the beach
Hajime: bored
Makoto: isn't there a party to prepare
Hajime: Nagito and Teruteru are preparing everything
Hajime: Byakuya has been prefenting us from getting in the building
Shuuichi: ah. Im sitting in a classroom keeping watch for tonight
Makoto: ?
Shuuichi: we set up cameras and tonight there is a high chance that mastermind goes downstairs
Shuuichi: so we can catch hm in the act
Shuuichi: the time limit is still scaring me
Makoto: good luck
Makoto: to you both
Hajime: also to you
Makoto: thanks.
Hajime: something has been bothering me
Shuuichi: what is it
Hajime: the weather
Shuuichi: what about it
Hajime: its nice
Makoto: there is nothing weird about that
Hajime: its always nice
Hajime: there are never clouds
Shuuichi: that is strange
Hajime: that's not all
Makoto: ?
Hajime: the only time there were clouds was when Monokuma appeared
Shuuichi: wow
Hajime: then the weather changed from bright sunny to dark cloudy in seconds
Shuuichi: that's unnatural
Hajime: I know
Hajime: I didn't notice it before because of all the other things
Makoto: don't be ashamed
Hajime: a lot of impossible things are happening on this island
Makoto: oooh spoooooooky
Hajime: what?
Hajime: the only place I would consider haunted is the building were going to have the party in
Makoto: why are you holding the party there
Hajime: im not scared
Hajime: most ghost aren't evil
Shuuichi: you believe in ghosts
Hajime: partially
Hajime: I consider the possibility
Shuuichi: that makes sense
Makoto: my sister claims to be able to see ghosts
Hajime: what?
Makoto: she told me this story once
Makoto: when I was like 8
Makoto: but now I think about it . its really creepy
Makoto: but not the ghosty kind
Hajime: what?
Shuuichi: im curious
Makoto: she used to have this teacher that was pretty strange
Makoto: she claims that one day she woke up at night and saw the teacher standing in her room
Makoto: she calls out to him and he leaves
Makoto: the next day he didn't come to school
Shuuichi: hes a creep
Makoto: yes
Makoto: she claims that he was a ghost but I know that he was stil alive
Hajime: good that hes gonoe
Makoto: yes yes yesyes
Makoto: no one goes after my lil sis
Makoto: even if she can be so annoying
Shuuichi: it must be nice to have a sibling
Hajime: depends
Shuuichi: you have one too
Hajime: half sibling
Hajime: we never talk
Hajime: hes way older and lives far away
Makoto: I didn't know
Shuuichi: im an only child
Shuuichi: and I doubt my parent want another child
Hajime: why
Shuuichi: theyre never home and just leave me by my uncle
Shuuichi: my uncle is nice though
Shuuichi: I work with him sometimes
Shuuichi: he has a detective agency
Hajime: what do your parents do?
Shuuichi: one is an actor and the other a screenwriter
Makoto: wow
Makoto: but its not nice to leave you behind
Shuuichi: I got used to it
Hajime: poor you
Hajime: wow
Shuuichi: what is it?
Hajime sent a picture
Shuuichi: the sunset is beautiful
Makoto: I wish I could see it real life
Makoto: but im trapped inside
Makoto: its too gloomy
Hajime: im going to go
Hajime: party is startin
Shuuichi: have fun
Makoto: good luck
Hajime: bye
Shuuichi looks up from the monopad and sees Kaede looking at him.
'What are you doing Shuuichi?' she asks. Shuuichi doesn't know what to say. Its against the rules to talk about the app but he can trust her right?
'Just talking to some people,' he says. Please don't ask anymore.
'Hmmm. What are they like?' she asks.
'They're nice. They help me get my mind of things.' He sees her nod.
'That's good.' She says and she doesn't ask any further. He didn't notice the red flags rising.
He was about to look back at the message board when he hears the music. It was only one hour till the time limit. The music is loud and annoying as if to encourage them to kill.
Shuuichi: music started playing
Makoto: what?
Shuuichi: annoying murder encouraging music
Shuuichi: its extrememly loud and no place is safe from the sound
Makoto: sounds annoying
Makoto: he must really be trying to get you to kill
Shuuichi: seems like it
Shuuichi: what are they doing
Makoto: ?
Shuuichi: a group of people is going downstairs
Makoto: that is suspicious
Shuuichi: im going to follow them
Makoto: you sure that's smart
Shuuichi: its fine they all went to the game room
Hajime: guys
Hajime: something bad happened
Shuuichi: can it wait
Hajime: NO!
Makoto: what happened
Hajime: Byakuya died
Makoto: What!
Makoto: I thought for sure that if somewhere people were going to die it was with me or Shuuichi not you
Shuuichi: everything was going fine there right?
Hajime: that's the impression I got
Hajime: most of us got
Hajime: Shuuichi how do you do detective work?
Hajime: really I'm in bit of a ruch
Hajime: Mikan is doing some sort of autopsy
Hajime: but shes only a nurse
Hajime: she can only do this much
Shuuichi: note down anything suspicious
Shuuichi: collect testimonies
Shuuichi: look around the area
Shuuichi: check alibis
Shuuichi: and keep the crime scene in tact!
Hajime: thanks!
Makoto: sheesh murder already
Makoto: im not ready for this
Hajime: me either
Hajime: im shaking
Hajime: but I better get investigating
Hajime: I'll ask for help if I need it
Shuuichi: good luck
Shuuichi: the receiver is going of
Shuuichi: I got to go
Makoto: and now im alone
Izuru: With me.
Makoto: do you think they'll be alright?
Izuru: Probably,
Izuru: Not if they're stupid.
Makoto: that's encouraging
Makoto: but I wasn't expecting murder tonight
Makoto: at least not in Hajime's game
Izuru: It means that the murderer was good at planning if no one suspected anything.
Makoto: that's scary
Shuuichi: guys?
Makoto: what?
Shuuichi: Rantaro is dead too
Makoto: WHAT?!
Makoto: antoher mureder
Hajime: ?!
Shuuichi: now we wont be able to figure out his talent
Makoto: so he was the ? of your game
Shuuichi: yes
Makoto: so how did they die
Shuuichi: shot put ball to the head
Hajime: being impaled by a small stick like thing
Hajime: don't know exactly what
Makoto: gross
Hajime: and bloody
Shuuichi: we got a lot of blood too
Shuuichi: its nauseating
Shuuichi: we have to go to bed though
Hajime: same
Hajime: Monokuma doesn't want trials at night
Shuuichi: yeah
Shuuichi: all doors will be locked so no one can tamper with the crime scene
Shuuichi: but its strange that the murderer didn't take advantage of the first blood perk
Hajime: that is strange
Hajime: I wonder if I can fall asleep though
Shuuichi: I guess im lucky that it wasn't my first body
Makoto: I wouldn't call that luck
Shuuichi: im a detective
Makoto: then do you have any theories detective
Shuuichi: yes but I don't like them
Hajime: how so?
Shuuichi: from what ive observed so far
Shuuichi: there is a possibility that Kaede is the killer
Makoto: that's not cool
Makoto: she is like your friend
Shuuichi: I know
Izuru: You have to get to the truth or you will die.
Shuuichi: I know but if shes the killer I don't know if I want to find the truth
Hajime: you will and you have to
Hajime: you're strong
Shuuichi: im going to sleep
Hajime: same
Makoto: don't lose hope
