Serena Bellerose
Despite the amount of time that had passed since Monokuma’s announcement (which, in reality, wasn’t all that much time really) that they would all be stuck in Orion Academy—and that they would have to kill a fellow classmate if they wanted to get out—Serena hadn’t calmed down at all. If anything, her paranoia was reaching an all-time peak now. Her eyes were constantly darting around at all of her fellow classmates. She couldn’t trust any of them. And with some crazy talents—that torture specialist in particular—she didn’t want to be near them.
”W-We have dormitory rooms here, right?” she stuttered out, though half expected no one to answer. Not that she necessarily wanted any of THEM to answer her, anyways. ”There is… I-I’m going to mine! I don’t care if it doesn’t have any locks—I’m staying in my room!” she shouted, starting to head towards the doorway that would lead back to the main hall. ”And I better not see any of you lurking near my room! O-Or else!” she stuttered out, before running out of the entryway, heading back to her dorm room.
She would hide in the bathroom and eat when no one else was around, if she had to. She wasn’t ready to be around people who would probably jump at the chance to kill her if they could.
Edie Jensen
Things were somehow getting more tense, and despite everyone seemingly trying to calm everyone else down… nothing seemed like it was working. At all.
”Look, you guys… We really should just all manage to stick together and… I dunno, try to find some way to escape? I mean… maybe there’s some secret passage,” Edie suggested as she folded her arms and scrunched her mouth up, thinking. Chances were that this Monokuma… thing, whatever it was, might have missed a spot when it came to closing the whole school up. She didn’t quite imagine he would, but she could always hope. She thought on everything for a few moments, before finally deciding.
”Well, a lot of us ARE hungry, right? How about we find the cafeteria… maybe get some food in our stomachs, and talk about things all calmly and figure out what to do from here?” she suggested. Hopefully everyone would be good with the idea. She was pretty hungry to, to be honest. She didn’t have much to eat that morning—mostly due to nerves of coming to the school, so if they could find something good to eat, she’d definitely appreciate that.
As the princess—Serena was her name—ran out of the room, screaming out staying in her room—Edie frowned. She would have hoped that they’d all be a strong group unit in spite of what they were told… but she had a feeling that hope was long gone the second the whole Graduation rule was announced. She started to head to the doorway, waiting for the rest of the students.
”So, who’s coming along? And… none of you wouldn’t happen to be a Super High School Level Cook on the side, would you? I’m not so much good at cooking as I am serving…” she admitted with a nervous laugh.
Iris Bradley
Mass panic more or less kept filling the whole of their student body. Iris let out a long, internal sigh. She wished she could do something about it—that anyone could do something about it, but that wasn’t going to be happening.
As some started to panic loudly, and others ran off, Iris frowned. That Monokuma talked about despairful actions, and just about all the actions so far were despairful without a doubt. ”Whatever our apparent Headmaster wants, he’s already getting,” she said out loud, to no one in particular.
As the thief, Anna, spoke up, Iris looked over to her, offering as much of a smile as she possibly could (which really wasn’t all that much), ”Thank you. I’m glad you feel you can trust me. We should, of course, work on making sure we can all trust each other. With our current situation, I think that would probably be best,” she said simply. Iris’s frown grew bigger when the princess ran away, ”This doesn’t bode that well thus far…” she mumbled, mostly to herself.
When the waitress suggested they all head to the cafeteria to calm down with food and discussion, Iris nodded, ”That’s probably the best idea right now. We should all go in a group to make sure nothing happens along the way… we can always bring the princess over later,” she added to the situation. Hopefully things would start going better… but Iris still didn’t quite think it would.
