Corpse Party: Heavenly Curse

As he expected, there was something they need to do for the information they need. However, it wasn't actually hard or something surreal. Since they're probably going to be exploring the school later on, they would also be kind of researching about the place. Basically, the only thing that they need to keep in mind is to report things to him, 'I guess that's alright...' He felt better after clearing his thoughts of what kind of dangerous things he'll have them do, but Kei-sensei was actually nice and all. Then again, exploring this place is dangerous and Yume didn't like the idea. So did he, but it's inevitable.

Though, future generations to escape? More people are going to be brought here? Kiku didn't like the thought and had an idea of trying to prevent such from happening. For now though, finding the others and escaping are still top priority. He also mentioned about people who died before. 'Is the one behind me one of those unfortunate ones...?' he hoped, no, he wished that they wouldn't meet the same fate as them. Everything about this place seems dangerous now. Kiku felt a bit dizzy, but he managed to suppress it, though his vision wasn't getting any better, still a little bit dark.

Yume went back and closer to Kiku, perhaps she was being afraid again. This made him become more brave as he thought he needed to be for her. She then asked the first question, where exactly are they and if the... killings are true. "I'm also wondering Kei-sensei. How did we get here?" Was it the charm earlier? The earthquake did happen once they finished it after all. "And what you said about dead people, are you saying that there's a killer here?" Kiku braced himself for the answer. Seeing as there's a corpse behind them, perhaps the teacher was telling the truth.

Limbo continued working on his assignment and noticed that his and Roxy's assignments are different. Guess it's because they needed to learn about different things, depending on what they know now. The one he's doing right now is about Socializing, "... I guess I need it?" He did try the initial test, something like a trial, and he got a pretty low score. He's kinda confused why, but he understands now. Recalling his past conversations, they didn't really last long nor were there plenty. He then thought of trying the things this lesson is giving. For now, he'll try to finish his current assignments.

Looking at where she pointed, Beelze is talking to the new arrivals. He either is helpful or wants to have a good impression to the other students. Vlad did mention about us having a leader sooner or later... It might be a part of his plan. Though, he has no interest in being a leader so it doesn't bother him. He has also seen all kinds of people in his line of work to the point that no one can surprise him anymore.

Since the chair was one of those with rollers, he moved closer to her computer and started pointing at things. Roxy said she didn't know how to find the assignment, so he's here to lead her. Pointing at application, he started "You open this then this. Then this one by right clicking then choosing 'Open'... or you could just double-click. After that, there would be options on the left side. Pick 'Assignments', then its your choice which you'll start with first.. Did you get it?" he finished and slowly went back to his place. Hopefully his explanation was alright.

Corpse Party: Heavenly Curse

The bearer of bad news huh... That could only mean they are in a bad situation. Kiku braced himself for what the teacher is about to say next. Yume seemed really interested in hearing this and she wasn't as scared as before now, she even moved a bit closer to him. Kiku thought of telling him to be careful, but Kei-sensei didn't really give off a dangerous vibe, more like the opposite. Guess having someone like Kei-sensei can be pretty relieving. Someone would be hear to answer their questions as well. Though, he still kept his guard on in case things go wrong. He doubt something would happen right now though.

Kei-sensei then explained what is happening. They are in some kind of replica of Heavenly Host School which is a spiritual real that were made by lost souls. "A-Are you saying the truth?" His story was unrealistic for Kiku, but from what he saw and see right now, everything he was saying might actually be true. There's a high chance, and these information weren't being helpful. His vision gradually was blackening, things he saw slowly lost color, but he still managed to not let his condition devour him. He tried to control it by thinking of Yume and the rest. He held the scrap that is inside his pocket, it was somehow giving him hope.

Yume moved closer, wanting to hear the man clearly. Kiku stayed behind to have full sight of things. Kei-sensei continued, answering his earlier question. He was a teacher at another school, Amazaki it seems. He had been at this 'school' for a while now and studied it the whole time he was here. Also mentioning that there were plenty of secrets in here and that he knew some.

Moving a bit nearer to the two, he asked with Yume, "Will you please share those secrets?" Hopefully he would, but Kiku has this feeling that it won't be for free, and the cost might be high. He could be wrong though, he must be wrong.

As Limbo worked on his assignment, he heard Roxy speaking on his side. Her spot is just next to his. Roxy, who was hunching over, seemed to have been observing what he was doing and gave a comment on his computer's new appearance, "Thanks. I like black after all..." perhaps it was because he lived in a kind of monochrome world with his power. The organization wasn't really colorful too.

Leaning on his back and stretching a bit, he took a peek at what Roxy has been doing, and she seemed to be having a hard time with computers too. Though, Beelze was just next to her. Why isn't she asking him for help? And he realized, 'The one arguing earlier was the two of them isn't it?' He then asked Roxy, "Do you need any help with things?" Limbo thought maybe she wanted to customize hers too or something. "I'm not as knowledgeable as the one on your other side though..." he almost said in a whisper as he wore his headphones. Nothing was really playing so he would still be able to hear Roxy if she replied.

After arriving at their destination, everyone went to their respective places. Limbo's station was at the end and he sat there after everyone did. In front of him was a computer set, they seemed new and is probably the latest technology. 'Computers... I read about this,' though, even if he did, he has no idea about how this thing actually works. He managed to turn it on though. Looking at the others, they seem to knowledgeable about this. He felt kinda out of place, but he chose not to care after a while.

Their lesson started and Limbo was introduced to the two main things used, the keyboard and mouse. "Mouse?" he wondered why it was called that. Looking at it, it has kind of a resemblance to a mouse, though only a bit. He was told to download Google Ultron because Internet Explorer wasn't any good, or so they said. He read about this somewhere that said Internet Explorer's only use is to download another browser. Limbo has no idea why. In a few seconds, he managed to reach the website for the other browser and started downloading it. His reading actually came handy, he wasn't that confused anymore after remembering and realizing which is which.

While he was waiting for the the download to end and perhaps for further instructions, Limbo went ahead and tried customizing his computer. 'This actually is pretty fun,' a few minutes later, he finished and the computer now looking better for him. Black, black and black. Was pretty cool, or so he thinks.

The doors suddenly opened and two new people arrived. A blonde guy and one looks like he's avoiding everyone's gaze. Since he only wanted to see who it was, Limbo faced his computer again and checked the assignments that Vlad just mentioned. He read it quick then leaned on his back. He unconsciously was leaning towards the computer and it made his back hurt a bit. Meanwhile, the other's chatters are heard. "Roxy, Felice, Beelze..." he named them one by one silently, trying to remember their names. He thought why not since there's only a few of them and he's gonna be with these people for a while. One suddenly shouted, he was Felice if he remembered correctly. Even now, he still can't understand what he's saying.

Then he remembered, "A translator... I read about it too." he mumbled while he searched for it in the new browser, the download just finished. Finding it, he typed what he heard and set the translator to 'Italian - English'. "Do not say anything to me, Devil, huh." Is he mad to someone? 'Who's the devil?' Turning his attention to the PC, Limbo decided not think about it and just went to do one of the current assignments.

Corpse Party: Heavenly Curse

They walked along the hallway while Yume was holding his sleeve. It was a good thing. This way they won't be separated. Kiku kept looking at the walls in case some kind of paper is stuck on them, also perhaps a bulletin or announcement board. Though, unfortunately, he hasn't seen one.

Yume then spoke, "Kiku. Let's look for something useful that could help us escape." Kiku nodded and both of them stopped as they got near another room, "Oh. In here." Kiku walked in with Yume after she went and entered first. "Careful now..." There might be more of those broken floorboards with all the holes and cracks. Luckily there were none.

It was dark inside, but the light from the hallway were somehow enough to light up the room. Kiku smelled something and continued sniffing to be sure. 'There is something in here... I'm not sure what.' As they went inside more in the room, both of them observed their surroundings. The smell was getting strong. "Kiku look! I found someone!" Yume said excitedly. "Really?!" he faced where she ran to and saw that there's a silhouette of a person there.

Quickly he went to where Yume was, but she suddenly stopped and fell down. "A-Are you alright?!" he asked as he went beside her. She seemed fine, however, she looks pretty pale all of a sudden and her face was filled with horror. Clearly something was wrong. Looking at the 'person', "A c-c-corpse?!" and he moved back in surprise. "W-What is this?" It was unbelievable. So this was what giving off the smell. This was actually not one of the Halloween jokes after all. Kiku suddenly had a thought, 'What if...?' His face lost its colors as he went towards the corpse. He just had to confirm it.

The corpse wore a different uniform, and although it was decaying, the face was still recognizable and it wasn't one of their friends. His condition's attacking again, but he's somehow managing to suppress it. What seriously is happening here?

"It's a shame, isn't it?" a grim voice spoke behind Yume and Kiku. Turning around fast, a man stood there. No, not exactly a man... A ghost? 'F-For real?' Now a ghost has appeared, where exactly are they? Was the story told earlier actually true? "Who are you?" The ghost suddenly moved and Kiku went to Yume quick, in case he tries something. Though, the spirit only knelt in front of the corpse and began writing on his notebook. He seems to be doing an autopsy of the body, 'What for?'. Afterwards he introduced itself as a teacher named Kei. "Kei-sensei then..?" he's not particularly scared of the ghost for some reason, even though it was something so unreal. Maybe because it's not giving any sense of danger. "So you're a teacher... here?" If he was, then he might be able to answer their questions. "Can you tell us where we actually are?" Kiku asked.

Corpse Party: Heavenly Curse

Yume took his hand and stood up, 'Seems like she's better now,' he thought with a smile, glad that she's somehow better now. Worry was still evident on her face, but she looked a bit calmer now. After helping her up, he opened the door and both of them looked outside the classroom.

With the flickering lights and broken things on the hallway, it was clear they are really in an abandoned place, "Is anyone even here...?" he expressed his thoughts unconsciously, "Ah! Sorry. It just seemed pretty deserted..." though Yumi's attention was somewhere else. Good thing she was since he didn't want to scare her. Leaving her to what she wanted to look at, he stepped outside and surveyed the area. Kiku was looking for anything to help them know where they are. Clues. Information. 'That's right!' he remembered about the announcement boards. Now he has something to keep an eye out for. He was about to tell Yumi about what he thought, but all of a sudden she called her, fear in her voice.

Kiku approached her, "W-What is it?" Yumi had him look at what she had been looking at. A paper. "Heavenly Host Daily News...?" he continued to read the rest of what was written. However, the latter part of the article was torn off and whatever left was hard to read. Heavenly Host, if he remembered correctly, it was... "N-No way!" The school that was in the story had long since been demolished, moreover their current school was built on the same spot. Now why would they be there? What was written on the paper was too much to handle for someone too. Even if some of the words were cut off, it was a bit easy to distinguish, and it made things worse. Kiku felt what Yumi was exactly feeling right now. Fear. His vision started to blacken, 'N-No...! Not now! Think!' He started feeling dizzy. 'Calm down... Calm down...' Kiku repeated in his mind.

Slowly, he breathed out and felt calmer. Kiku gets spooked pretty quick and the next thing after that comes fast. To reassure himself, he thought it couldn't be real, he knew it couldn't be. Besides, "Look, the date over here," he called Yumi and pointed at the date, September 18th, 1973. It was a lot of years ago. "See? We couldn't be in that school. This paper is really old." Kiku assured her along with a smile. Though, where are they exactly? Did they perhaps hallucinate only and fainted? Group hallucination can happen after all. 'Then people brought us somewhere scary and made it look like Heavenly Host?' It was too surreal, what he's thinking of that is. If it was a joke for Halloween, it's too well thought of. 'Huh... Nothing good comes in mind if I just stood here and imagined things.' He tapped Yumi, "So it's still and will be alright. Let's go?"

Corpse Party: Heavenly Curse

Yume slowly opened her eyes, and she seemed to be trembling in fear. "Y-Yume? It's alri-" all of a sudden, Yume held him tight and from the looks of it, she's trying not to cry. Kiku patted her head and said, "It's alright Yume. If you want to cry you can do so if it's gonna make you feel somehow better. And don't be scared, I'm here with you!" then smiled at her to show that it is fine. Letting out your emotions can be helpful in making one feel calmer and better. He knows how scary this would be for someone like her. Though, Kiku has been pretty scared since he woke up as well. How couldn't anyone be scared? They're in an unknown place. He only managed to keep his sanity by thinking of his friends and of the good things.

Looking around, this doesn't really look like their classroom. It was similar, but it really isn't theirs. 'How did we get here?' They fell from their room, 'And this was underneath it?' Kiku still can't believe what's happening. He has so many questions but no answers. "Don't worry, we'll find the others soon enough." he tried to assure her as she must be worried about the others as well.

Sighing, he stood up and held out a hand to Yume, thinking that she might have calmed down a bit now, "Well, for now I guess we should look around, if you're able to stand up that is." She might have been injured due to the fall, though he hoped that wasn't the case. It might have just been like him with a little headache or something similar. Kiku isn't exactly sure what to do right now, but finding everyone else is top priority for now. 'Getting into safety will come later, and it will be with the others.' he thought.
