[b][u]Alastrine[/u][/b] -> [b]Sam and Cleo[/b] "Is that so ...." Alastrine closed her eyes in wonder, putting her thumb and index finger to her chin, like she was thinking, for a moment. Noticing Cleo seem to shy away from her, she noticed a black eye. "Um ...." She was about to speak in concern. [b][u]Alastrine/Komari[/u][/b] -> [b]Monokuma/herself[/b] Hearing Monokuma speak, she didn't finish her sentence and turned around to the stage. Seeing the TVs come down, she clenched her fist. [i]Master!?[/i] It was her kenpo master shown on the TV. Alastrine, no, Komari was pissed off. Her intent to kill the bear was immense. She about to go crazy and lash out at the bear, but calmed herself, remembering about her master's teachings. [b][u]Martial Arts are meant to protect. Never let your anger control you. It will let you be controlled. Keep your mind focused.[/u][/b] Her fist relaxed, and she was calming herself down. Her killing intent lessened as well. Looking up, she could see her master, still gagged and bound. [i]But how? How is it that he was able to do that? What is that bear? What if ... that isn't him? Could it be ... someone else that the bear has ... literally at his disposal?[/i] Komari tried to analyze the situation. It was completely possible that it wasn't the person that was her master. Her imagination went along with her analysis. There was no way to confirm it was her master, since she couldn't actually see his eyes, or mouth. Even his ears. Maybe it was some look-a-like to coax her, and the others, into killing one another. This was a sickening plan, but she had no evidence, no way to confirm it. For a moment, she wondered if Kincaid had some thing to shoot or throw to cut the hostages down, or if Kirali could possibly cut it down from such a range. Komari was a little glad it was her master that she was threatened with. If it were her parents, it was entirely possible she would of lost it already. Although she almost did with her master, his teachings saved her from such a mistake. But the realization of this meant she would have to prepare herself if they come out next. "Evil dean, no, Dai Maou! (Great Demon Lord!) You will pay for this! Mark thy words, the words of the Great Alastrine!" She pointed at Monokuma with anger and discontent. She will not fall for this scheme to kill. But she was definitely worried. These people were in his hands. Promises he may make, the bear is not necessarily going to abide them. He did send everyone into a death game, he probably will kill those people regardless of the result, or use them again if it is necessary. This situation was unfavorable no matter what happens.
