Mutual Killing. "Today is starts your new lives of mutual killing" These words haunted Luna.
As always, the group became an uproar of several different ideas and mixed emotions, just as before. Some with valid points, others were just getting themselves into danger
mainly that Gwen girl with the fierce 'Gung-ho!' attitude. For god knows what reason she picked... The Bear, up. Thankfully several of the students objected to her action
telling her to put him back down.
"Gwen! Honey, I don't think you should have done that! You probably just made him mad!"

Suddenly, something popped into Lunas' head. "Today is the first day in your new lives of mutual killing!" She throught her hand out and pointed at Monokuma.
"You expect us to stay here! For how long!? Don't even think we'd kill each other, that's out of the question!"
Luna stomped her foot and placed her hands on her hips.
"Magical Pretty Girl Luna, is all about justice in heroics, not killing people I've just met, I for one, will not being killing anybody!"
With a fierce attitude Luna voiced her opinion on the matter.

'What the fu-'

Anna's reaction to the strange PA announcement was cut off by the appearance of the animatronic black and white bear with the stupid voice. And the reaction she had to that arrival was more or less the same, except maybe with a few words here and there. A headmaster who called their students bastards? She could probably deal with that (it wasn't as if it was false in her particular case...), but a headmaster who spoke via some kind of robotic bear from one of Harvey Dent's wet dreams? A bit too surreal for her, that was for sure. Apparently it went by the name of 'Monokuma'. Why it used gratuitous Japanese in an American location, or at least what seemed to be an American location, was unknown. Perhaps the headmaster was a weaboo or something. Oh well, quirkiness aside, it seemed that they'd all get some freaking answers already.

Now if only most of the others just stopped spazzing out and calmed down, they could actually get somewhere! As if on cue, the monochromatic bear spoke once more, but instead of answers, they just got a bomb dropped in one simple, 12-word sentence:

'Today is the first day in your new lives of mutual killing!'

What the hell did he think this was? Battle Royale? The Hunger Games? Avengers Arena? Didn't this person know killing students was rather over-done? Sure it was dramatic and all, but they hardly knew each other. If Anna was an idealistic person, she'd say that they were all above the influence of this bear. However, considering the violence that had erupted but a few minutes earlier, she was sure that one of the others would be taking this farce seriously. She could only hope that somebody outside realized that they were missing and had the good judgment to contact the law enforcement. But then again, with the stuff she got away with, law enforcement wasn't really much to bank on. Hopefully they'd prioritize the kidnapping of sixteen over a random mugging. Assuming they were actually searching. They could've been out two hours, or they could've been out for two [i]days. She'd have to compare the time on her watch to one of the school clocks later...

But not now. Now there was a show to watch. Anna watched on with a mildly bemused expression as the burly tan lady from before - Gwen - picking up their headmaster and tossing him off to the distance. What would happen now? Would the bear explode? Perhaps several spears would fall from the ceiling and impale Gwen? Better her tamper with it and face the consequences than Anna, that was for sure.

Anyway, Anna supposed it was time to quit being an observer and actually join the conversation being held. Standing off to the side watching wasn't exactly inconspicuous after all. She approached the group talking about the police rushing in to save them and raised her hand a bit. "Yes, hi. American here. Don't know too much about law enforcement, but this place is a boarding academy, isn't it?" she asked, "Even if we were all missing for more than 24 hours, we were last seen at the school in which we are supposed to stay within more than 24 hours. There'd be no real reason for the police to arrive in the first place. Any worried mothers would probably just be chalked up to paranoia. ...Of course that's assuming that we're in the real Unity Academy in the first place - discounting how low the chance of us not being there would be. I imagine procuring transport for 16 unconscious teens would be slightly more difficult than just renting a van."

Monokuma let the flood of questions take its course. However, before the creature could reply, he was picked up by the head thanks to Gwen nod fa chucked across the auditorium. Before the creature could hit the ground, it promptly exploded without warning, destroying part of the fake audience that was "watching" the students.

Ryan was shocked beyond belief when he saw the bear explode, "Is... Is that it?"

"Oh you'd wish for it to be that easy," Monokuma's voice came from the PA System. It was then that what seemed to be a copy of the bear dropped from the ceiling, landing in the stage in front of them.

At this point, Carlos was flabbergasted. Was this just some elaborate prank? That had to be it. Their families were probably behind this whole thing.

But no. This seemed too real. If it was a prank, they wouldn't have had an exploding bear be part of it.

"What are you?" Carlos asked, trying to remain his composure, "This isn't... Mundane."

"I already told you brats that already!" Monokuma spat, "I'm Monokuma! But you could call me the Angel of Hope or the Devil of Despair! Any guesses why they call me that?" He pointed to his half-white, half-black face before pacing around the stage.

"First off, you," Monokuma pointed at Isis, "You seem cold as ice! I like you! Upupupupu! Second! I don't think you have to worry about your parents being involved or anyone else for that matter! But... If one of you survives, that'll be your discovery the ! Aren't I generous?"

He then turned to Gwen, "I think it's time I lay down the ground rules here! But first off, no harming the head master! One more stunt like that and we'll be enjoying the meal of lobotomy tonight! Got it?!"

"There's sixteen of us and it seems like only one of you can be out at a time, er, Sir!" Ryan added in a formal way of speaking since Monokuma was supposedly their Dean, "Why can't we just take you down?"

"Does this look like Assassination a Classroom to you?!" Monokuma shot back, "You will be killed on the spot! That got you bastards's attention? If so, I'll be going over the rules to my little game!" The bear remembered one of the students asking if it was a game to him or not. Well, he could say that.

Just as Iphigenia finished talking, Monokuma sailed across the auditorium and exploded in midair, showing parts and burning debris everywhere. The exploded bear left a small crater in the center of the audience, surrounded by the eerily smiling, burning cutout students. She decided it would be a perfect scene for a good horror movie if Monokuma hadn’t appeared once again. How cliché.

Making a mental note to come back and inspect the debris, Isis returned her attention to the new bear as it began to address her question. Iphie raised her eyebrows. She was trying to look friendly and helpful, not cold. Of course, she may have overdone it a bit trying to avoid giggling earlier, but it didn’t feel cold to her. Maybe it was the bad joke she made? People always reacted badly to her jokes, but that was one thing she couldn’t help. However, if whoever was behind that bear already saw through her, then that would kind of suck.

“Thanks for assuming I have parents,” commented Isis, wryly. “Very tactful.”

Of course, she didn’t give two shits about what Monokuma could or would do to her parents if they were still alive, but since he went out of his way to seemingly rub it in, she thought it warranted a response.

“Well, now that you’ve made your point that anybody that touches you will be kamikazed to death by… yourself. Let’s just get on with it. Does breaking any of your other rules also result in our ignominious deaths?”

"..... Ah, what the," Sam stuttered, completely at a loss of words for what just happened. The only thing he could do at the moment was comprehend that messing with the dean would lead to them being gimped by a huge explosion. As Sam stared at the crater where Gwen threw Monokuma, he uttered a few words."What the heck, is this person crazy?!" It wasn't even a few minutes before Monokuma made his announcement over the PA system, with a new Monokuma plopping down onto the auditoriums stage.

"Oh, you've gotta be frickin' kidding me," Sam muttered annoyingly as he saw the new Monokuma came out of no where. "(If that wasn't the real Monokuma that exploded, then that had to be a robot... Something tells me if its a robot, there has to be someone controlling the bear, because there's no way that its an advanced type of a.i. that acts like this.... Unless... Is there?.. No way.)" As Sam let his thoughts settle in, he heard Monokuma spout off about this being a game, not murdering the bear, which was exactly what he wanted to do at the moment... If he didn't know that it exploded when 'angered' anyways.

Before Sam could speak up, Isis spoke to the bear, asking it about the rules. "(Lets see... Monobitch here said something about 'mutual killing.' Hmm...)" The more Sam dwelled on the thought, the quicker he was able to come up with a stunning realization - a catch. "Yo, Monokuma," Sam said, looking at the new replacement with a stone cold face. "What's the catch to this sick and twisted game of yours," Sam stated to the bear, speaking in a furious tone. "Because there's no way you could lure us into going along with this bull shit without some sort of stupid catch... And either way, I'm pretty sure we still wouldn't go along with it anyways."

Gwen's reaction to Monokuma exploding left her shocked, she looked at her palm where she was holding Monkuma and watched the new Monokuma arrive," What the crap ? I almost died, Who the hell makes a self defense program for a machine that makes it blow it's self up and take who ever is nearby with it ? That's an idiotic design, you would most likely cause friendly fire killing yourself and leave your allies short handed till you came back, who ever built you should have thought of a better self defense thank blowing yourself the hell up." Gwen explained to Monokuma and to who ever was listening.

Nika watched as Monokuma exploded, the air from the explosion blew around some of Nika's hair and rung the erring bell that she was wearing making a jingly sound, she was shocked by Monokuma's explosion like everyone else, she stayed quiet and watched everyone else's reactions to when he exploded and was glad that she and some of the others could talk Gwen out of holding Monokuma for too long or she would have been blown up along with most of them.

Maria was getting a bit annoyed by the people who kept yelling through the room. The bear exploded, a new one appeared, there was just so much going on. Monokuma said he would explain the rules of this academy and of this killing game of his. "I think there need to be rules. We can't live together if there aren't rules. And if we follow the rules and live in harmony none of us will have to meet our end." she said.

Silas grunted. "Just make sure that there isn't a rule that forbids food in your room." he said.

The colour from James' face slowly washed away. It was bad enough, this new setting out of nowhere, a bunch of strangers, half of them acting questionable...but a bear?! Why a BEAR?! Things had just started to calm down, everyone was getting on nicely, they introduced themselves, James even spoke a few words with people around, hell he was almost getting to the point of being semi-comfortable, but no, why would that be allowed. His least favorite animal, in a supposedly cute and cuddly form. A bear. A black and white bear. A bear that walked and talked, and spoke of killing each other? oh great!

James was slowly stepping in the direction away from the monokuma, hearing everyone else bomb the thing with questions, giving their theories of what it was, and why they where here. Did it really matter? They are here now, they need to get now. And James needed to get away from that bear.

Getting about a foot away from his initial standing point when it appeared, he watched as it got thrown, and promptly exploded. Petrified, a quiet words slipped out of James' mouth, "Exploding bears who want us to kill each other...I'm screwed...I was right,.. I'm going to die..." In a few more seconds he found himself back in the fetal position, on the ground. Who cared about rules, rules wont matter much after one of them snaps and kills me. James frantically eyed up everyone from the group, Can I even trust any of them? The waterworks on his face started up again, he wept without a noise. He was terrified, and there was no point in trying to hide it.

Monokuma turned to Maria, "Au contraire, Miss Flying Nun! But I do have to agree, we do need to establish some ground rules! So listen up, you bastards, 'cause I'm only gonna explain them once!"

A monitor dropped down from the ceiling where the second Monokuma came from. The words, "Mission Statement" flashed on the screen colored in what seemed to be crude crayon.

"I'm going to give you bastards a chance to escape," the bear began, "Besides, what's so fun about having a good murder mystery without a prize? And what better prize than freedom? None that I can think of anyway!"

"A chance to escape?" Carlos inquired, "So we could just all find the exit and leave this very instant?"

"Yeah, 'bout that, Upupupupu!" Monokuma chortled, "All the exits to this place are sealed up tight! You kids should be happy! Unity Academy wasn't really built for security so I went out of my little way to keep you brats nice and safe!"

"Uh, th-thank you, sir?" Ryan wasn't sure if he should have been happy or upset by this news.

"To escape, you'll have to graduate!" Monokuma continued, "But graduating isn't easy! You need to earn credits! Credits are earned by murdering one of your classmates! Of course, you'll have to prove you earned that kill by participating in what I like to call a class trial!"

Carlos paled. This creature couldn't be serious. He really did expect them to kill each other for freedom? By then, he pondered, the authorities would surely find and rescue them.

"The rest of you bastards will have it guess whodunnit!" Monokuma nodded, sagely, "If you do, the culprit will receive... Punishment and the rest of you will be safe to breathe another day! If you don't, the culprit will get off scot free and the rest of you will receive the punishment instead!"

Monokuma pulled out a stack of pamphlets and laid them on the stage floor before pointng at the monitor, "O'course, we got rules here! Learn em, live em, love em! If you need a refresher, the rules are in these complimentary Unity Academy pamphlets! Got it?! Good! Set your gaze on the monitor and let the rules I've graciously given you douchebags burn into your brains!"

Rule #1: The students will live inside the school walls. There is no time limit as to how long they can stay there. The only way to escape is by winning a School Trial.

Rule #2: The time between 10pm and 7am is called “Night Time.” During the ‘night’, students must stay in the dorm area.

Rule #3: All students should sleep in the designated rooms in the dormitory area. Students found willingly sleeping in other places will be punished.

Rule #4: You may investigate the school however you want, as there are no special restrictions on your actions. Explore to your heart's content as long as the room isn't locked!

Rule #5: Breaking the locks on any locked door will result in punishment!

Rule #6: You cannot harm the school’s headmaster, Monokuma, nor can you destroy any of the surveillance cameras. Yes. I will be watching your every move, Upupupupu!

Rule #7: A “culprit” who kills a fellow student will graduate, but only if they can convince the other students that they are not the culprit. If the culprit succeeds, the culprit can leave, however, as punishment, all the other students will be killed in the culprit’s place. If the culprit is proven guilty, however, the culprit will be rightfully executed.

Rule #8: After three people or more discover a dead body, a “body discovery announcement” shall be made so everyone knows of the death.

Rule #9: If after twenty-four hours and no one is killed, the students must attend a mandatory event in the auditorium where a special lesson will be taught on the subject of "Motives!"

"More rules may be added by yours truly at anytime!" Monokuma spoke again, "For now, there ain't far you can check around this place. We got a cafeteria, a dormitory, some bathrooms, and a library to study the files of... Past students! So for now, please make yourself comfy! Sound good?"

So much had just happened. The previously thrown monokuma, had exploaded after landing. It was then obvious to Luna, he was not tour average bear. Promptly after the explosion, another monokuma popped outta nowhere to replace the now deceased one. The smell of fire was still in the air...

A few minutes afterwards, monokuma, well monokuma #2 decided to inform everybody of the rules of unity academy, if you could really call it that at this point.
The rules were pretty simple, don't break anything, don't snoop around in the wrong areas, there's no leaving until you murder another classmate and get away with it... He then elaborated on that rule by informing them of a "school trial" basically, whoever was sick enough till kill another student, had to somehow get through a trial without being found out and proven guilty. As he had finished explaining he said they had free room around dormitrary part of the academy. There was an ominous clicking noise that came from behind them, it was as if, just perhaps, the doors, unlocked.

" ... This is... SICK! SICK YOU HEAR ME! I Refuse to partake in auch a disgusting 'game' as you put it!
If you'll excuse me, I'm going to find a way out... I trust..." Luna walked towards the door to leave, before opening it, she turned to look at the other students to finish her sentence.
"I trust, you guys won't kill anybody, I have faith that we'll find a way out hehe" Luna giggled and put on a smile. She winked before saying "You're free to join me in my search for escape if you want, I'll be starting in the cafeteria I suppose... I don't want to spend another minute in this room!"
Luna then pushed the doors open and left in search of the cafeteria, to find their hidden escape.

"(And there's the catch...)" Sam read the rules one by one, making sure to memorize each rule. Two rules stood out to Sam, and he focused on those rules, staring at them in complete fear. "(If one student manages to fool everyone, they escape with even more blood on their hands,)" Sam thought, grinding his teeth in utmost anger. "(And motives,)" Sam thought, sighing softly to himself, worried about what motives he would use to tempt the students. "(Go ahead Monokuma, give me motives... However...)" Sam stood up strong, staring defiantly at the screen. "(Nothing will hurt me more than knowing the thought that I had to kill all my classmates to escape... I won't do it. Throw whatever motives you want at me, I won't budge... I won't give in... I will find another way to escape this dreadful place.)" Another thought crossed his mind, and soon a small tear began to form on his right eye. It slowly made its way down his cheek until eventually he wiped the tear away. "I came to the academy with blood on my hands," he muttered quietly to himself, "but I won't leave with even more."

As Monokuma finished speaking, something caught Sams attention. "(Past students?) You've actually managed to get away with this crap before?" Sam spoke to the bear with a tinge bit of anger and suprise in his voice. How could someone get away with something so diabolical? The thought lingered on his mind before he decided his next move. "(I need to study those files.... I'll steal a few later.)" As he was finishing his thought he heard Luna burst out in anger, and left the room. "(Hm, maybe I should join her in her search to escape... Wouldn't hurt trying to find something, plus two heads would make it easier for us to possibly find something.) Hey Luna, wait up," Sam said as he too followed suit, running after Luna to help her in her search. On his way out, Sam quickly grabbed a leaflet, and shoved it in his coat pocket.

Aha~

Of course there was going to be some sort of catch to the entire thing. Rifling through a glossy Unity Academy pamphlet, Isis familiarized herself with the Monobear’s odd set of rules. The rules confirmed Monokuma’s claim that there would be free reign for killing within the school. But the culprit to undergo a class trial, and if she were to be found guilty, the culprit would face ‘punishment.’ The term was ambiguous, but Iphigenia knew without a doubt it was a stand-in for ‘execution.’ That was something that she could never risk. She needed no motives to kill, but she would never risk execution, although she found it preferable to the life sentences the Western world tended to dole out. Iphie deliberated for a moment, and concluded it would be in mutual interest to work together with others to try and escape. There were actually some decent people in here, and if she got on their good sides, they could be very useful later on. She wouldn’t try to stop anybody from killing each other though, the premise that Monokuma had set up was too amusing to ignore.

Flicking through the pamphlet again, Iphie zoned in on rules five and six. They were very loose rules, perhaps open to interpretation. If she picked a lock and didn’t destroy it, then all would be good. Likewise, if she tapped into the camera network, none of that would destroy the cameras. There might be room to play in the future, but she also knew that if anybody went balls to the walls on the technicalities, the rules might change in the future.

“I will be in the library,” said Iphie, calmly.

It would make no sense to stay in the auditorium any longer. Nova and a few others seemed about ready to blow up into full terror, and a boy had broken down into a fetal position. There was already enough of a din in the auditorium that made her want to commit murder right there and then. The library only made logical sense as it was the only useful place at the present, and it was going to be far more quiet than the auditorium. It seemed likeminded individuals that she could tolerate better would be going there, anyway. If there was anything as interesting in those files as Monokuma implied, she would be getting those immediately.

This was getting... Interesting to say the least. It seemed that Monokuma had a firm grasp on the 'mutual killing' that they were expected to participate in. After seeing the explosion and the fact that the bear had control over many things in this place, Jinx deduced that it wasn't a wise idea to openly antagonize him. She concluded that this was more of a mind game, where buttons would get pressed and people would break. As long as she remained strong, there shouldn't be a problem.

"I'm going to the library as well." Jinx said, moving swiftly towards the doors. Those files... They could hold crucial information. It was better to start somewhere rather than blindly grasp at straws. If there really were former students, than it would be beneficial to find out how they dealt with this situation, whether murders really happened. Before she left, she turned around and addressed the rest of the students. "While this situation is alarming, everything will be fine if we all keep level heads. The first thing to do is to get a better handle on the situation and act accordingly. It seems that we're already splitting up, I would recommend the rest of you do the same. Divide and conquer, as it were. We should meet later to share our findings."

That being said, Jinx smiled at Iphie and said, "Shall we?" Before disappearing into the hallway.

---

Aiden was left in the auditorium, churning over what was said. Was it truly possible that people would kill each other? The talk of a motive worried him greatly, what would qualify as a motive? He shuddered slightly, even as he slightly enjoyed the look of pure shock on everyone's faces. Still, it was only satisfactory if he was the cause of all of the discomfort, and this went far beyond anything like that.

After Jinx left, Aiden took the moment to speak up. "Everyone, please calm down. I think we'll all be okay. The fact that we're all really angry and in disbelief is the reason why we're all safe. I mean, just because a bear told us that we have to kill each other, doesn't mean that we're all immediately plotting how to murder everyone."]

Gwen started to get tired of all the talking that was going on, she sighed," You know what screw you guys I'm getting some coffee or tea or whatever we have here, I'm done listing to some bot spout bull shit, I'm ghost." Gwen told everyone before leaving the auditorium with her hands inside of her pockets, she did want to stick around watching the random crap that was going down in there, she wondered through the halls trying her best to find the cafeteria.

Nika carefully eyed one of leaflets that Monokuma threw around making it rain, she carefully remembered each of the rules that she thought she would forget, then pocketed the leaflet, she walked over to James and put a hand on his head," Are you gonna be okay ? You should try to go somewhere more calm or somewhere that's a little more safe like your room." Nika told him thinking that if he was somewhere else he would feel better.

'So the consequence of throwing Monokuma was an explosion, huh...' Anna thought, watching the section of auditorium go out in the most Michael Bay of ways..

...Wait. Why exactly had she been expecting anything different? It was a robot, and this was real life.

'Well at least the bear's gone. Though any criminal mastermind worth their salt would probably...'

Ah. There it was. After the untimely demise of Monokuma Uno, Monokuma Dos decided to show up. Anna wondered the exact quantity of Monokumas within the academy. Perhaps they could use them to detonate the walls and secure exit. Then again, if these Monokumas had the ability to self-destruct and destroy that much of an auditorium's seating, perhaps that wasn't exactly a good idea without knowing what else Oreo the bear had up his sleeve . He had mentioned something about a lobotomy.

The detail about their parents was rather interesting. If she cared about her parents, Anna presumed she would've been worried about their safety. But it's not as if Monokuma said that they were all mauled by his cold, metallic claws. He easily could've just fed them some lie. Law enforcement not searching for them, on the other hand, was very much expected. Not like she thought much of the police anyway.

The nun mentioned establishing ground rules when Monokuma hijacked that line of thought. Apparently they'd get to leave if they killed one of their classmates. That was fairly par for course, what with Monokuma introducing it as a 'life of mutual killing'. The catch was that they'd have to go through a 'class trial'. If they failed, they were to receive a 'punishment'. Something told Anna that that didn't mean a few spankings or having to soap out one's mouth.

A screen descended behind Monokuma as the bear dropped some pamphlets onto the ground. Anna took one for herself and skimmed through the rules. Rule 7 confirmed her previous suspicion, and Rules 4 and 5 essentially didn't apply to her. Lockpicking wasn't technically breaking the lock, after all, and there's no rule against unlocking locked doors if you had a will and a way.

"I suppose I'll check out those student files as well, then," Anna stated before departing, glancing at Monokuma Uno's final resting place as she left. She didn't have the technical knowledge to make any particular use of any potential debris, so investigating there was out. "Oh," she stopped at the exit, "If you know, or know anyone that does know, any electronic or mechanical know-how, you might want to get them to check out the rubble for anything useful."

And then she was gone.

Well, that's not good. Nova didn't like these tools. But she also wanted to get away from all the people.
"I'm going to my room," she said as she left the auditorium. Finally, she could be away from people. As she sat on her bead Nova contemplated what was happening. She sure hoped that she would get killed or have to kill. She could beat someone up but killing them is overboard.

Maria listened to the rules Monokuma gave them. She liked the night time rule as it would prevent people from being too sneaky in the buildings. However she still couldn't shake off the feeling that she had to kill someone. Why would one let others kill each other just for their enjoyment, or was there something behind it. Was he a cult leader and were we sacrifices for his believe? Maria had no problem with dying as she would go to Heaven and be with the Lord anyways, but she wasn't intending to die this young as she still needed to learn the world about her believes. She has seen some people around here who could be really really dangerous. Maria was also the type to never break any properties that belong to someone else. For her that also could be considered a sin in some way. It is just something one shouldn't do, however locking people up and having them kill each other as the only way out was the worst thing Maria could ever imagine. After reading the whole pamphlet she folded it up and put it in the pocket inside of her habit. She saw Nika, the nice girl that she had the pleasure of meeting earlier. She was talking to James, the guy who panicked earlier and led up to some... uncomfortable situations.

Maria approached Nika and James. She heard Nika say that James should go somewhere calm to get some rest, his dorm possibly being the best place. "It will probably give some silence indeed. Do you mind if I go along with you? I was wondering how the dorms of this academy look like." she then turned to Nika. "I hope we make it out alive, especially you. Your parents love you very much from what I understand, you have so much potential to make this world a better place." she said with a small smile. "Hopefully I'm not exaggerating, but you just seem like that way."

When Silas heard cafeteria he immediately stormed out of the auditorium. He ignored everything else as if he didn't even realize a killing game was going on. He probably was one of the most optimistic people around, although completely clueless to what situation he was in now. Silas headed to the door, which apparently was open now and ran through the building to find the cafeteria. When he arrived he dived into the kitchen he took a quick look around and made a big sandwich with all kind of things on it: salad, eggs, cheese, ham, cucumber, tomato and mayonnaise. He took the large sandwich to the cafeteria itself and sat down on a chair and took a big bite out of the sandwich and enjoyed it after his belly being empty for such a long time. It probably wouldn't take long for others to arrive at the cafeteria though. So he needed to enjoy the sandwich to the fullest.

James looked up to see a hand coming his way, it was the girl who introduced herself as Nika earlier. She seemed nice enough, could he trust her? Slowly letting his body relax, James took her hand and picked himself up. "...than..." He wiped away his tears, and tried giving his sentence another try, "Thank you." He forced a smile. This whole situation was a bit much for James, he had broken down twice already, and they had been there for only less than a day...It was pretty sad, and he did recognize it. "I think I will go to my room and rest for a bit..." He watched as others left, mostly to go an investigate the place, or in the case of a few, to get something from the cafeteria. He would likely be avoiding those areas when they had more than three other students there.

He left the others without a word. He wanted to ask for someone to come with him, but couldn't figure the words out just right, he worried that it could be taken the wrong way. 'Hi I am scared, please accompany me to my room?' 'Would anyone be willing to make sure I don't get stabbed in the halls please?' 'Remember, running with sharp objects is dangerous, so please don't chase me with them in the future...' He let out a sigh, he was much better with dealing with plants and bugs then people. Such things could be predictable, given conditions, and generally James didn't have to worry about them killing him. He found his way to his room. Looking inside, he saw that it was fairly nice. He then proceeded to move everything and barricade his door, then he flopped on his new bed. "Maybe a bit of rest will do me good?" With the idea of being 'ssfe' in his mind, he closed his eyes, not willing to do much exploring today.

Christian watched as the monokuma toy exploded in the chairs of the "audience". He was preparing for something bad, but exploding? That seemed a bit overkill... quite literally. There was a short monokuma-less moment afterwards before a new stuffed bear appeared. Of course there was more than one... Christian realized that if the person controlling it could blow one up with little to no hesitation, there must be more. Hopefully not too many.
The new monokuma dove right into laying down his rules for this school. So murder was only acceptable as a way out if the killer got away with it... And no matter what the outcome of the "class trial", there would be an execution for the losing party. It was exactly like a murder mystery game, which was probably the whole point of this set-up. Fantastic...
The bear went over some other rules as well. Chris grabbed a pamphlet that was laid out for them. Going over them, a couple stood out. No one could be out of specific assigned sleeping areas at night, at least not willingly. Next, exploration was free throughout the school; no restrictions were in place. That meant either the killer was certain there were no exits, or there were fakes ones that would punish them if they tried to escape. But still, hopefully some answers could be found to the situation they were all in. Lastly, there was the issue of "motives" that would be given out daily if no murder occurred. Chris couldn't help but think of different ways monokuma could try to influence them into murder. Threats, various punishments, and rewards came to mind. He chuckled softly when he thought of taking away toilet paper.
After a while, people began to file out of the auditorium. There were three groups that split off. Some went to the cafeteria to group up and search for exits. Another group went to the library to look into the past students monokuma mentioned. The last group went to their dorms, wanting to get away from the auditorium as early as possible. Some people still were milling about in the auditorium, either not having made up their mind, or deciding to stay for a while. Chris thought about what he should do briefly, before deciding to go to the library. Finding out what happened to the past students could help them find out more about their current situation. He walked towards the exit, and nodded to the students still inside before leaving.

Monokuma had thrown several leaflets, they contained several rules on them, in a sense, it looked like a four year old had drawn them, could Monokuma really be that childish?
Nonetheless, Theo picked up that leaflet and slipped it into his pocket. He noted that one was left on the ground, most likely it was intended for Lunas' as she didn't pick one up, rather, she stormed out of the room immediately afterwards.
Everybody pretty much left, "If you have brains, join us in the library", "If you've got guts, help us find an escape route". Unfortunately for Theodore he really had nether of those traits. In the end he decided to leave and go to his room, like the previous guy, James had, although he was abit more eccentric.

"I'm going to go to my room... Not any of you care..." He left the auditorium, rather quietly and depressed at that. Walking through the the hallway... was strange it was eerily quiet and strangely lit, with an assortment of colours. He noted the sign reading 'Despair Dorms', dorms would imply that area has several rooms available. He remembered that Monokuma told them that they all had assigned rooms, much to his delight he entered the area, not noticing the obscenely large red doors at the end of the corridor.
(My own room, that's great, I guess).

To find you assigned room, you walked past the cafeteria to a series of doors that had names and an 8pit like tile of the person it intended for. Look for his, Theo walked past a few doors, once he found it... His neighbors were the Ultimate Strategist and the Ultimate Cadet. (So these are my room, no not room mates, um, neighbors, I guess...)
Opening his door he found what was a fairly ordinary room. Perhaps he could ad his own personal touches? He didn't plan on killing anybody, so he had to prepare for this long argues task of living in the academy... It felt obvious to him, there was no escape. No escape, unless you killed somebody, or were killed yourself.
"Oh! A Bathroom! Maybe... I can have a shower, they say all good thoughts come during a shower. As he turned the door knob open, he heard a 'zoom' noise. It was camra in the corner of the room... Did it just... Zoom in on him? He imagined Monokuma watching him... "Upupupu" (HYA! NEVER AGAIN!) Theo quickly ran in and slammed the door shut. To his relief there were no cameras in there, it was a fairly ordinary bathroom, white towels, a sliding glass shower. He threw his clothes of and hopped in the shower, letting the steam settle before getting wet.
"Mmmm... Kill, or be killed... At the rate I'm at, I'll probably be an easy target... I have no guts... No brains... Perhaps... Perhaps I can fake it..." He let the hot water drench him and had some deep thoughts in the shower.
