[IC] Dangan Ronpa: Land of the Free, Home of Despair

[Spriggs27]

Gwen went into the kitchen to see Silas eating a large sandwich," Well I see type two in your future Silas, you should eat smaller." Gwen told him before she went over to the stove and grabbed a coffee pot, she grabbed a couple different ingredients and threw them into the pot along with some water and coffee grounds, she let it heat up for a couple minutes and let it bubble. When it was finished she grabbed a coffee mug and went out of the kitchen to sit a one of the many vacant tables that were around the cafeteria.

Gwen took sips of her homemade coffee and put her feet up on the table she was sitting at, while she sipped at her coffee she looked around the cafeteria noticing the cameras dangling around the corners of the room, they made her feel watched and it started making her angry, she didn't say nothing but she drunk the rest of her coffee and went back into the kitchen noticing another camera in the room, she put her mug away and left the pot on the stove after she cut the fire off and left out of the cafeteria heading for the library.

On her way to the library she noticed more cameras on the walls as she walked down the halls, she subtly gave one of the cameras the finger as she walked to the library and noticed some of the others there, she walked over to Isis seeing her laptop bag, she approached the girl while still having her eyes on one of the cameras," Hey uhh, Isis right ? Have you noticed all the cameras all over the place ? They seem to be everywhere." Gwen told her.

Nika was happy to see James calm down from his panic attack, she looked around noticing everyone else was leaving and chose to leave as well, she went to her room and tried to lock it but it didn't work, she noticed the bathroom and headed inside of it and locked it from the inside, she sat in the corner curled up into a ball, she was scared, she didn't know what would happen tomorrow, she usually has everything planed but seeing that everyone might try to kill one another made her feel scared, she began to take deep breathes and tried to calm down.

As Sam made his way to the cafeteria, he continually thought about Monokumas words, and how it pulled off something like this. "(If Pedokuma did pull this off before, then he must know what might be going through our heads at the moment.)" As he went on his way to the cafeteria, he took a quick stop by the dorms, glancing at the rooms and how they were arranged. "That's.... A very peculiar way to tell whose room is theirs." Sam shrugged, and whistled a tune as he made his way to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria he entered had ((I'm assuming looks the same as DR1 cafeteria, correct me if I'm wrong please)) red tiles with a few green plants around, along with a couple of chairs and tables. He noticed that only two people (not including himself) occupied the cafeteria at the moment. Sam watched as Silas munched away at his sandwich, and as Gwen sipped away at her coffee. Before he could say anything, Gwen went back to the kitchen, and came back out, leaving the cafeteria. "(Ok, so none of these guys tried to look for a means of escape...)"

"Hey Silas, mind helping Luna and I look for a means of escape once your done eating your sandwich," Sam asked as he began making his way to the kitchen. To Sam, it was too obvious that there was no way there was an escape route in the dining area due to how easy if would be just to try and lift or step on one of the tiles, triggering an escape route. As he entered the kitchen, he noticed another camera in the room, observing the area. "Jeez, do you have to monitor our every action," Sam grumbled as he looked for a way to escape.

En route to the library, Isis was intercepted by Gwen, the engineering girl. She seemed to be fixated on the cameras as she spoke to her. She raised an eyebrow.

“Yeah, that’s right. I see the cameras. I wouldn’t touch them until we know more about them,” she replied, giving a subtle glance at one of the cameras in the hallway. “I’ll let you know if I find anything useful.”

With that said, she excused herself and followed Jinx into the library.

The first sense that Iphie got upon entering the room was that it was incredibly musty, almost as if it hadn’t been used for an extended period of time. Her first instinct was to prop the library doors open to let in some fresh air, which she accomplished by wedging several old magazines on a nearby shelf between the doors. It was an ugly, Goosebumps inducing doorstop, but it had to do for the time being. The style of the library was rather preppy, reminiscent of old-style studies or the rooms of high academic schools such as Oxford or Princeton. There were many old leather bound books lining the wooden shelves.

Her eyes finally fell on the reception and common area desks in the room, which had computer equipment lying about. There were several desktop computers, likely for library or cataloging purpose. If the school was high-tech enough, perhaps the student files were on hard drive and not in manila folders.

“Alright,” said Iphigenia, eyes still on the computers. “It looks like we’re going to have to cover a bit of ground looking for those files. Jinx, could you see what they have in those grey filing cabinets in the back room? I’ll see what I can pull off these computers.”

[BioHazard]

Silas took another bite out of his gigantic sandwich when he saw Gwen entering the cafeteria, immediately commenting about his eating behavior. "Ha, I won't get diabetes! I'm resistant!" he said and continued eating. Not long after that Sam and Luna entered the cafeteria. Luna looked wonderful in her angel cosplay, Silas immediately thought. As Gwen left the cafeteria already, Sam asked him if he wanted to help them look for an exit. "Ows cworse I want." he said with his mouth full. He swallowed the last piece of his sandwich. "Of course I want." he repeated. "But first let me get some snacks for underway." he ran into the kitchen and came back with some bananas. Although Silas had a huge appetite, it wasn't limited to a certain type of food. He wouldn't get diabetes from eating only healthy things, to think about it he rarely ate sweet stuff.

"Okay let's go!" Silas shouted. "Where shall we look first, because I dunno how this school looks like." Silas said. Sometimes it even looked like if he was oblivious to what situation they were in.

[Pudding]

After having her mini rant, Luna stormed out of the auditorium. Her feelings were a mix of anger and disgust. The only thing she honestly cared about at this point was finding an imediate exit. It didn't occour to Luna that she had no idea where she was going, only that a few seconds later, Samuel the ultimate helping hand, had followed her "wait up!" He shouted out to her, "wait for me!". Luna stopped walking and turned to face hik, her eyes sparkling as she saw him coming towards her.

"I'm glad somebody is on the same side as me, thanks sammy!" She smiled and started walking to another area dubbed "Despair Dorms". This area was split into a few different areas. "Sammy, it would seem this place is bigger than I actually expected hehehe, could you go possibly round up some more peiple to help out? I don't really mind who" As she saud that, Silias and Gwen walked one after another into the cafeteria.
"Excellent! Go ask one of them to help us pleeeeeease? :3". He agreed to doing this deed and went off to the cafeteria. "Oh and don't worry! I'll be scouting out this floor whilst you do! Hehehe, thanks again!"

Luna did a quick survey of the area. It was rather large and split into different sections
One, hosted the cafeteria, the other a room that was blocked off. A set of stairs that had to go up a few floors, but was blocked off by some steal bars. Near those stairs was what could possibly be a storage room, there were no signs to tell you what it was. There was also the dormitry area that hosted everybodies room, there were also about two toilet areas. This area was not without several plated windows that wrre bolted on incredibly tight, if not bolted than welded, lets not forget all the cameas watching her every movement
After she finished she walked into the cafeteria.

She was greeted by Silias and Samuel. She winked at Silias as she could tell he was eyeing her. She also thanked him alot for helping them look around.
"Thanks sooo much Silias! You're such a babe!" Luna giggled.
"So I pretty much have figured out this area..." Luna explained that she briefly surveyed the area, not able to find any noticeable exits. "So if its fine with you guys lets look in the other area, the one that has the livraryvin it". Luna was referring to the area before Despair Dorms.

[Savo]

Sam took a quick look around the kitchen, noting the food that was in here, along with the camera. "(I need to make this as quick as possible. Lets see if there are any secret passageways.)" After quickly scouring the area, pressing and moving anything he could, Sam came to the conclusion that there was no secret passageway, however he was kind of hungry. "(I'll make myself a sandwich... Then again, it would probably be rude not making Luna something, because she might be hungry as well. I could just slice up mine and sha-)" As Sam reached for a knife, he suddenly jolted and pulled his hand away. "(Crap, I forgot I hate knives... I'll just make two then.)"

Sam quickly made the two sandwiches, feeling that he might be making Sila and Luna wait for him, only to be greeted by Silas who was finished eating his sandwich. "Well, anywhere I guess, but we need to meet up with Luna first," Sam said as he bit at his sandwich. It was a pretty simple sandwich, made with only just ham, lettuce, and tomatoes. As he was just about to walk out of the cafeteria with Silas, and was greeted by Luna, the peppy cosplayer.

"Well, I took a quick glimpse around the kitchen... No secret passageways there," Sam says, taking another bite out of his sandwich. He quickly chewed up the sandwich and swallowed it, before holding out another sandwich to Luna, this one wrapped up in a napkin. "Here Luna, I made you and sandwich just in case you were hungry." This sandwich was exactly like the same sandwich he just made, nothing really different. "Sorry if there isn't much. I was in a rush, and I didn't want to make you guys wait," Sam says, smiling to the two.

((After Luna denies or takes the sandwich)) His arm moves down backs to his side, and Sam quickly takes another huge bite out of his sandwich, listening to Lunas proposition. "Alright, seems good to me,"Sam says after he swallowed his sandwich. "Also, I've got my own proposal for us... We form a small alliance, one that vows to help each other and all that good stuff," Sam says to the two, quickly glancing around before returning his gaze to the two. "I know we can trust the others... Sort of, but this is just a just-in-case plan where we can trust each other not to murder each other. The reason I say this is because of those motives that bear has come up with," he said, saying the word bear in anger.

"It will most likely come up with some tough to resist motives since it seems he pulled this crap off before... Anyways, once we are done looking around for an exit, lets nab those files as soon as we can, as they could be useful to our survival... So, what do you say guys, can we watch each others backs as a team?"

[Lilacs]

Jinx nodded and moved to the back as requested. She coughed a couple of times as she entered the back room, waving her hand to clear the air a bit. It was so musty, with dust everywhere, floating through the air, coating the various files... She was certainly thankful that she wasn't allergic to it, otherwise being in this room would be quite the nightmare.

The amount of files were staggering, lining every wall and continuing far abov her head. She couldn't tell if they were organized in any manner, so she would have to look over all of them.

As she started reading the various file names written upon the spines, some interesting titles jumped out at her. The Case Files of Genocide Jill, The Case Files of Kira Kira Chan... Jinx frowned as she continued her search. Was this a police archive of some kind? Those were some pretty famous serial killers. Why would those be here? Probably Monokuma. But why would he put them there? With a shrug, Jimx returned to a task at hand.

After browsing a bit, Jinx found a file that didn't have the same amount of dust covering it. "Hope's Peake Academy...?" She read out loud, reaching for the file. It was a pretty hefty one, and Jinx took a moment or two to page through it. There wasn't a doubt in her mind that she found the files.

Exiting the dusty room, she called out to everyone in the library, "I think I found it." She moved over to a nearby table and took a seat, grasping the notebook and pencil that was lying around. Opening the file and the notebook, she beckoned everyone forward before she began copying down important information.

---

By this time, Aiden had left, wandering throughout the corridors by himself. It would've Ben smarter to have some companions, but he was confident that he would find someone soon enough. Eventually, someone would come to him. The halls were a bit creepy, each footstep echoing ominously. He found himself in front of the dorms, seeing that each was labelled and assigned. Opening up his own door, Aiden decided to explore the room a bit.

As he opened the drawer upon his desk, he saw the toolkit and threw his head back in laughter.

[Noklu]

Christian was on his way to the library, after taking some wrong turns, when he heard someone talking ahead of him. He stopped where he was, the other students out of sight, and he heard one of them say "I’ll let you know if I find anything useful". After that he heard footsteps leading away. I'll let you know if I find anything useful... Chris stayed where he was for a while in thought. Anything useful could mean a lot of things in this situation, although he had no clue what 'anything useful' could be. He thought he recognized the voice, but he wasn't certain. After thinking for a while with no answers, he shrugged off his thoughts and continued to the library.
When he arrived, he was greeted with the sight of one girl on a laptop, Isis, if he remembered correctly. He looked around some more, and saw that Gwen was standing around, seeming confused, and he heard one other person among the bookshelves. When he saw Isis, he realized it was her voice he heard in the halls. He walked up to her, deeply engrossed in the laptop, and tapped her shoulder to grab her attention.
"I don't want to be a bother, but I overheard you in the halls talking about 'finding something useful'. Is it okay to ask what you meant?"
Right after he finished, he heard a voice call out from the bookshelves, saying that she found something. Jinx walked out with a file in hand, and sat down, motioning them to come check it out. Chris walked over and glanced at the file.
"Hope's Peak Academy..." Chris muttered, his thoughts stirring all of a sudden.

[Spriggs27]

Gwen started to get curious of what they were doing and she itched at the back of her head," Okay, my curiosity has peaked, what the heck are you guys doing ? I want some answers." Gwen asked calmly and in a curious tone. Gwen got curious about what was going on, she had no real clue and felt like she was gonna get another headache she looked around at everyone in the library with a confused look on her face and wondered what was going on still and waited for someone to respond.

[sarcasticdevotee]

Carlos had left the auditorium. He watched as hordes of students moved into either the library or the kitchen. To keep to himself, he headed to the dormitory. Noticing someone go inside one of the rooms, he decided to scan the doors for his own name. Noticing what was supposed to be his room, he slipped inside and turned on the light. Just as Monokuma said, it was unlocked and ready to go.

...But the only thing of note was none other than the toolkit. That was it? Really? The bear seemed more interested in using blunt objects to maim each other than using other situations. How... barbaric.

He stepped back out of the room and went back into the dormitory lobby, sitting down in one of the chairs and musing quietly to himself. This was for real. It was just hitting him. It was for real and the only thing that was keeping him from freedom was how wrong it would be to kill another.

~

Ryan prodded at one of the pieces from the dead Monokuma in the auditorium with his foot. It felt like fur but was also hard like metal. Maybe it was metal covered in fur? He didn't know. All he knew was, his nerves was shot. He was nervous beyond belief to begin with, but this had made everything entirely worse.

Breathe in. Breathe out. He sat down on the floor and stared at the remaining cardboard cutouts of an audience. It was simplistic but reminded him that this really was a game to Monokuma. He stood up and nodded.

"I'm going to stay steady," he told himself, nodding once. With that, he picked up one of the pieces of the bear's remains with...

"Upupupupu!"

"Aaaah!" Ryan stumbled backwards, "Wh-what the hell was that for?!"

"Oh, I just saw that you were being jittery," the creature replied, before sauntering off. It was then that Ryan decided he absolutely hated bears.

[Spriggs27]

Nika pulled herself together and got out of her bathroom then went back out into the halls to wonder around she looked into the library to see most of everyone there but didn't stay, she went to the cafeteria to see some of the others hanging around there, then she went back to the auditorium and watched Ryan stumble backwards and away from the older monokuma's remains, she walked over to Ryan and crouched down looking at the remains of the old monokuma, she looked up to Ryan with a curious stare," What are you doing ?" she asked softly .

[BioHazard]

Silas threw the last piece of one of his bananas into his mouth before answering Sam. "Of course I can help. Dunno what to do however. Looks like we are locked up, why just don't enjoy the food?" Silas said with a smile as he peeled another banana.

---

Maria noticed that Nika went to her room after Monokuma had his speech. Nika hadn't replied to what Maria said to her, but that mostly likely was because she was in a state of shock. Maria decided to go to the dorms. Before she searched for Nika's room she looked for her own room. She saw a weird figure drawn on a board above her door, which kinda resembled her. Of course Maria had never played any video games so she wouldn't recognize it as an 8-bit figure. Maria entered the room and saw nothing out of the ordinary. She was a little bit afraid that her door couldn't be closed though. She looked around but didn't spot a Bible anywhere. Something which was not good in her opinion. Every room should have a Bible in it. She herself knows all the pages of the new and old testament however others probably don't. She would go to the library later if there was time. She needed to gather as many Bibles as she could.

However now she was still worried about Nika. She searched for Nika's room and quickly found it. She knocked on the door, before letting herself in. It seemed that Nika wasn't around however. Maria shrugged and decided that she probably had met up with some other people. So instead Maria went to the library in her quest to collect some Bibles. She entered and saw a lot of people around, she ignored them and went straight to the bookshelves to find a Bible. After some searching she managed to find only two Bibles of which one was almost unreadable. She was going to exit the library again but stopped. She saw some of her fellow students gathered around a laptop and some other files. "Wh-What are you all doing? Is it of important business?" Maria asked.

[Savo]

"Well, thanks for taking me up on my offer," Sam said, still maintaining his calm demeanor. "However, this is no time to be lax at the moment Silas... You remember what Pedokuma said, right?" He took a look at Silas and Luna with a worried look in his eye. "The things he said about mutual killing.... Its forcing us into a corner, where we have no choice, but to kill." Sam stared at the camera, seemingly intrigued with it. "The only things we need to do in this group is watch each others backs, and nothing more... Oh, and not murder anyone either."

He turned his head back to the two after looking at the camera. "Anyways, shall we get going to our desired location," Sam said to the two, frowning a little. "We need to try and find a way out without dying... Lets do our best to resist whatever Pedokuma throws at us, and get out of this school alive!" His voice was filled with seemingly unwavering determination. "Well, we don't have much else to do here... Lets go!"

[sarcasticdevotee]

"Gahh!" Ryan jumped again and grasped his chest, still a little jumpy from his run-in with Monokuma. He calmed down and nodded, recognizing that she had introduced herself as Mika earlier. Despite her quiet question, he was always a bit jumpy when it came to people he ddn't know.

"Heheh, uh, I'm just checkin' out the pieces of this thing," he pointed to the remainders of the Monokuma that exploded, "You guys were right. This thing is like an animatronic something or other... But in all my years, I haven't seen anything like it... And that's kinda... Weird. Maybe Monobear or whatever was built by someone else. Someone with some ability to..."

He then noticed what he was implying, "Not that I'm implying Gwen and Isis are behind this or anything! Just... It's weird, y'know?"

[Pudding]

Once entering the cafeteria she was greeted very politely by Silas and Samuel. Samuel informed Luna of the kitchen, saying how it was fairly ordinary, yet had alot of items to offer. It would seem he even took time make her a sandwich, how sweet of him. Luna happily accepted the sandwich, it was wrapped in a handkerchief. Unraveling it she placed it in her pocket and inspected the sandwich. Much to her disgust, there was a tomato in there, she slipped it out and flicked it into a nearby garbage can.
"I'm not a big fan of tomatos', ahaha, but it was really sweet of you to make me a sandwich Sammy". Grateful, Luna began to eat her sandwich as Samuel let them in on his secret 'Alliance'. Unfortunetly.. Luna didn't like that particular idea...
"I'm sorry but... I will not join an alliance, no matter what it is for. You should have better faith in your fellow students, ya'know. I know we're better than this Monokuma! Nobody is going to kill anybody! We will find a way out!" Luna placed her hands on her chest after placing the sandwich on the table.
"I have faith in us..."
After finishing her sandwich and hearing what Samuel had to say about the alliance. Luna took them to the other area of the school she had not scouted, the area that lead to the auditorium and the library.

"Lets look around here, I haven't checked it out at all, so there might be some useful information we can gather from this place. If ether you need assistance, just call for each other. Lets start with these windows, see if we could rip them off"
Luna and the boys started their attempts at pull the steel plate off... To no avail...
"Damn... Thats stuck... really tight! But don't worry! I'm sure we'll find something!"

---

Meanwhile, Theodore had just finished his mind opening shower. The steam was rather thick, and Theo quickly dried him self head to toe, getting dressed back up and exiting the room. The bathroom seemed to have its own ventilation system, it sucked the steam up through the roof and made the air fresh again. Perhaps it had just been placed there, or maybe he just didn't notice it. But there was a tool kit left on Theodores bed.
"I never was any good with building.. I don't really know what half of these things are..." Theo decided to just leave them be, as he had no real use for them.
Before exiting his room, he peaked through the door, and noticed a trio of people, one girl, two boys, it was obvious that the girl was Luna, you could easily recognize her with the get up shes' wearing. But he couldn't tell who the other two were...
"An alliance...?" He thought. "Only a few hours in and they're already planning something?! But how?!". Theo closed his room door. He took a deep breath and walked outside. He looked around and saw nobody. Only to take a few steps to feel somebody looking at him. Their eyes digging into his neck. Putting on a brave face. He turned around to me this mysterious creep.
"What is it you need from me? I'm trying to make my living conditions more comfortable!"

[Omnial]

James sat up from his bed and rubbed his eyes, it had only been a few minutes of rest, but it was well needed. He had allowed himself to calm down, and start thinking straight. Alright, so no one is going to try to kill anyone else, it would be crazy. I mean sure some of them are a bit nuts, but I doubt any of them would go that far... He pushed his stuff out of the way so that he could get out of the door while thinking about the interesting characters that he had met earlier.

"Wheewww." He whipped his forehead after he finished, I really should get into better shape one of these days, this shouldn't have take so much effort. Stepping out of his room he took a look around, trying to finally get a good idea of what was going on around him and where he was. His eyes eventually caught another student, who, like him, had recently stepped out of his room. The boy who seemed almost as scared as me? I bet I could become friends with him, yeah I could cert- Sadly, this train of thought was easily pushed aside as Theo spoke.

Beads of sweat started forming and sliding down the side of James' face, "I...I was just...I don't need anything per say... I Just...wanted to be...friends? if you want to?" He did it! he spoke his mind! sure it didn't come out in a nice flow, but he spoke! and he was feeling a bit faint now. His room was close so, worse case scenario, he would just open the door and flop down on his bed.

[Savo]

"(I'll take note of that if I ever decide to make Luna a sandwich again)," Sam thought as he walked with the two. "(Seems she has a lot of unwavering confidence in this group of students... Heh, there are lots of things that I admire about her... Hm, I wonder what she's like without her costume, because it seems like she's still sort of in character... I'll worry about that later, however-)" As different thoughts crossed his mind, the three went up to a steel plate covering up a window. When Luna suggested they try to rip off the windows, he just stared at the windows, ponder how they would be able to remove such sturdy looking plates. "(These look too strong to rip off... But there's a chance Pedokuma might of screwed up... Wouldn't hurt to try.)"

As the trio tried to rip off the steel plated windows, all three of them failed to tear off a steel plate that was obscuring their view from wherever. "Hmm... I don't think these things are coming off anytime soon guys," Sam said as he tapped his knuckle on the window. "You guys remember those files Pedokuma mentioned? It wouldn't hurt to take a look at those files... There might be something in there that aids us in getting out of here, since it seemingly pulled this crap off before. I'm going to go check out what I can find in the library, if you two wanna come along and help, just follow me." Sam turned away from the steel plated window, and began walking away from the duo. "I'll tell you two if I find anything if you decide not to join me... Anyways, see you later Luna and Silas," Sam said cheerfully.

" How could they ? " Nika asked as she picked up another piece of Monokuma just to drop it onto the floor," They woke up just like we did, and Gwen actually touched it before she threw it remember ? Also if either one of them did make it then why did Mono explode ? There are a lot of things that wouldn't add up if either of them would be behind everything Ryan." Nika explained, stood up and could see that Ryan was jumpy about everything that was going on, she crossed her arms and looked away from Ryan." Even you too, huh ? I thought that someone like you wouldn't be scared by everything that was going on." Nika said.

Iphigenia went to town on the computers. Within the space of a few minutes, she had commandeered the receptionist’s desk as her own space, plopping down her laptop and bag on the table. She first went for the receptionist’s computer, concluding that that would likely have the most useful information. Instead of booting up by itself, she opened the case and pulled out its hard drive. There was no knowing the condition of the computer or if it was tampered, and she was not going to risk the information on the hard drive. Working smoothly, she pulled out a USB bridge for the drive’s SATA connector, and plugged it into her laptop.

Her face frowned as she continued delve into the contents of the drive, finally leaning back on her seat with a sigh. The only useful data on the drive, a student database, was encrypted with an RSA-200 key. It would take some time to decrypt it. It would be either a few hours to half a day. Leaving that running, Isis stood up to see how Jinx was doing.

---

“So they do keep hard copies,” said Iphigenia, briefly leaning over Jinx’s shoulder. “It might be a faster idea to scan them and make copies if any of the copy machines in here still work. I don’t think we want these to get stolen, by Monokuma or another student.”

She picked up a few files that Jinx wasn’t looking through, and rifled through the profiles. Most of them she didn’t recognize, but she stopped on the file of a certain girl named Chihiro. Iphie definitely knew this person. She was a very well-known programmer, best known for her work in AI. While she didn’t know her personally, they worked in the same circles and she had a chance to speak with her, once. She continued to look through the file with interest.

“These aren’t nobodies,” concluded Isis. “Chihiro Fujisaki is a very reputable programmer in the IT community. There's also a member of the Togami family, and this is a well known baseball player... Something tells me this isn’t the first time this game has happened.”

[Spriggs27]

" Hey the rest of them could, hell all of them could be, I don't know this Fujisoaki." Gwen responded to Isis, Gwen was over near the coping machines and was pressing the start button, she was about to crawl behind the copy machine but suddenly and quickly stopped herself and pulled back," Hey I'm going behind this big ass copy machine, don't try to kill me while I'm going behind this thing, last thing I need to do is die before I can impress my dad." Gwen announced to everyone in the library before she crawled behind the copy machine.

Gwen got dust and dirt on her face as she crawled behind the copy machine, she first touched the dusty cord that was connected to the wall to make sure the machine was first plugged up so she wasn't looking stupid, she then crawled from behind the copy machine then walked around to the side of it and ripped off one of the panels with her bare hands using brute strength, then stuck her hand inside of the copy machine and pulled out a small bundle of color coated wires. Gwen tore apart the red wire and the green wire and took out her duct tape that she still had on her, she taped together the green and red wire and connected back to where they belonged.

Gwen finished her work by punching the top of the copy machine and it crackled to life like an engine ready to go, Gwen put a dirty, dusty hand on Isis' clean shoulder," Copy machine works, I fixed it, oh and do you have anything I can use to clean my face with ?" Gwen asked before she got more even dirt and dust on Isis' other shoulder, Gwen spoke with a grin on her face feeling good about fixing something.
