LIZARD SHIT

haven’t posted here in a bit!

About four days have passed since the food was taken away. It’s…gotten unbearable but the human body can survive three weeks without food, so it’s not the end of the world…yet. As you pull yourself out of your room for water in the morning, you notice Kohaku making their way out of the changing room, face even more pale than you recall them being.

“H- Ueha-san-”

They frantically look back into the room, pointing.

“Th-The sauna-”

Ignoring the fact that Kohaku really shouldn’t be going to the sauna on an empty stomach, you decide to walk with them back into the room to figure out what they’re going on about. They take you to the sauna entrance.

“There was a chair in front of the door ss-so I moved it to open the door, I was confused why it was there but-”

They push the door to the sauna open to reveal…

“Ping pong pang pon! Students, a dead body has been found! Investigation will commence for the next 7 hours! Upupu, see you at the school trial!”

So that was Hope’s Peak Academy, huh? Jotaro looked around the prestigious halls of the Academy he’d been invited to, exploring it, just looking around for the most part. He sighed. That was a rather sharp contrast from the schools he’d gone to before. Much more refined. Much bigger. And, even better, less girls constantly hitting on him and shouting. He hated girls who shouted. But that place… it was eerily silent. For a moment, he wondered if that could have been some sort of Stand Ability. Truth be told, just because he liked sealife, he’d been invited there… It did seem a little too convenient. But with his Star Platinum, he didn’t have much to fear, for the moment.

As he observed the map, he spotted the dorm he was supposed to inhabit. And as he made his way there, he thought. That Academy… it felt a little too refined for him. Jotaro Kujo was a delinquent, dammit. He was not a nice guy. Nobody’d ever said he was. Sometimes, he’d beat up people a little too much. Some were still in the hospital. Other times, when teachers acted too smart, he’d teach them a lesson. If he went to a restaurant and the food was bad, he’d just leave without paying the bill. And now he was in that Academy…

“Yare yare daze”

He quipped, having found his dorm, as he set foot into it. And before his eyes, a big, tall man- almost as towering as Jotaro himself- stood. In his hands was a racoon, who he was telling off for scaring him. He decided not to care. He instead sighed and literally sat on the bed, still with his shoes on.

When he heard the door open, with the animal in his arms the critic suddenly paused before turning toward uh-- well, he was gonna assume it would be whoever would be owner of the OTHER bed but, never know. Could be SHSL lockpicker too that just so happened to pick this room to fuck with. Not that the thought was serious. As soon as he saw Jotaro though, Tatsumi just kind of-

“..................”

I.

...........

Someone certainly seemed… flabbergasted. Nime recognized the guy from their brief exchange during their first day here.

“You, uh… you good, fam?” 

They called, a vague note of concern in their voice.

Who said that?-- and turning toward the voice, Tatsumi stared at Nime for a few moments before speaking. Lifting his hands a bit while doing so.

“Oh, yeah, I’m doing ~peachy keen~ over here, thanks for asking..!”

Oh, wait-- wasn’t that the kid from when you first came in here? The door kid, that’s it. 

You open your rules on your ID and find:

Rule #1: Students may reside only within the school. Leaving campus is an unacceptable use of time.

Rule #2: “Nighttime” is from 10 pm to 7 am. Some areas are off-limits at night, so please exercise caution.

Rule #3: Sleeping anywhere other than the dormitory will be seen as sleeping in class and punished accordingly.

Rule #5: Violence against headmaster Monobear is strictly prohibited.

Rule #6: Anyone who kills a fellow student will graduate, unless they are discovered.

Rule #7: Additional school regulations may be added if necessary.

Rule #7: Once a murder takes place, a class trial will begin shortly thereafter. Participation is mandatory for all surviving students. The only exception is if a student is too ill to move.

Rule #8: If the guilty party is exposed during the class trial, they alone will be executed.

Rule #9: If the guilty party is not exposed, they alone will graduate, and all remaining students will be executed.

Rule #11: Attempting to break into locked rooms is strictly prohibited.

It’s been about a week since you arrived, and you may hav noticed that you…haven’t had any classes? There’s no teachers in the school at all in fact, it’s just been you and your classmates the past week. Perhaps this is just a welcome week to prepare you for the campus. As you’re going about your daily routine, there’s an announcement over the loudspeakers.

“Hello again! Come to the gymnasium immediately for an announcement!”

It’s the bear’s voice again. Reluctantly, you make your way to the gym like asked. You notice that the black and white bear is walking back and forth on the stage while he waits. Once everyone’s in, he looks over the class and goes to his podium, tapping on the mic.

“Ah, hello again, it’s lovely to see your faces again.”

There’s a hint of sarcasm in the voice he used, but anyways.

“I figured a week was enough time to get you all acquainted with one another, so now that everyone is aware of everyone, I can tell you why you’re all here!”

Why you’re all here? You’re going to school because it’s mandatory. What else is he going to tell you besides that?

“By now, you should’ve noticed something’s different about this school atmosphere- I mean, there’s not even a single adult in the building! And you’re not allowed to access the next floor, haven’t you thought that was odd?

“The reasoning for that is…You’re all alone here in this school besides me!”

You look around to your classmates in confusion.

“Like, no one’s getting into or out of this building.”

…What?

“I have placed some school rules into your IDs, but I’ll explain your predicament to your faces as well~!”

“You are all  here to kill each other for my entertainment. There’s no way out of this. The person standing next to you could kill you at any time they wish. After someone is found dead, you will then hold a class trial to figure out the culprit and you will execute them.”

…What? This joke is going a little too far…But you can’t help but be concerned over this coming of events. He doesn’t actually expect you all to kill each other, right?

“Or, if you don’t want to kill someone, you can always allow them to go free!”

That’s…a little better. But no one has to die at all, right?

“But if you let them go free, you and your other innocent classmates will be executed instead, sound good? Great, cause there’s no other option.”

This isn’t actually happening, someone will get you out before then. There’s no way your families aren’t looking for you.

“If no one has killed in one week, I will push an incentive to murder on all of you.”

There’s silence in the room, and the intimidating aura the bear was giving out disappears.

“Let’s hope I don’t have to go to drastic measures like that. Upupu…I’ll see you around. If you need me, just call for me!”

And with that, he hopped behind the podium once more and disappeared.

Unfortunately, it appeared another disgruntled teen had the same idea. Nime was just pulling the door open, and didn’t seem to notice Tatsumi’s approach until he’d drawn close enough to get the door himself.

“JESUS fucking Christ-”

“God. Don’t. Don’t fucking. Sneak up on me like that.”

They folded their arms and squeezed their chest tightly, like they were trying to push something out of their lungs. After a moment of contemplation, they simply stepped aside, out of the critic’s way.

“Uh, you’re. Using the fuckin’. Uh. Door, right? Go ahead, dude.”

That was understandable. Putting aside personal factors, it wouldn’t be surprising if a good chunk of the student group ended up trying to leave quicker than to stay in chat just to get their bearings of where the hell they are, if anything. People? That could always come later. But sometimes it felt hard to really sit and do anything for some when again-- they had literally no idea about their current surroundings. Geez- whoever was going this, at least they could’ve TRIED to give them a day or so to get to know the damn place, first off. 

As the teen made his way towards the door, his attention moved back and forth between the crowd and his destination. It was likely he had probably noticed Nime along the way and just hoped that wherever they were heading they would be gone and away by the time he was heading through the door too. As he scooted along, the critic just kind of stared at the crowd one more time while still scooting and- ah?

 Oh- ah, fuck.

When he heard Nime spoke up, finally the teen just went stiff before snapping his gaze back over to the other. DAMN- he was so hoping they’d be gone already.

“..Right, sure- don’t mind me. Just coming over to sneak up on you in specific.” First words with someone and it’s already going good. Pausing.

“I was more or less planning to morph my mortal body through the way and take the shortcut out, but- I GUESS this way words too. Thanks.”

You go to check out your maps feature on your ID card and see you’re only allowed to see floor 1.

You have access to:

The Gym

The Infirmary

The A/V Room

Classrooms A and B

The Trophy Room

The Dorms

The Cafeteria and Kitchen

A Storage Room

The Trash Room

On your maps, you will find your rooms, there are two people listed per room and in each room there is two beds and two dressers.

Your roommates are as follows:

It’s your first day at Hope’s Peak Academy- it’s required that you at least show up to the first day of school for rules and such. You’re only allowed out of it if you’re sick and well…you’re not sick today! This day has been…pretty hyped and you can’t deny that there’s a feeling of excitement beating in your chest. You’ll have a nice class, or at least you hope, and you’ll make some friends that you might not have had before!

The school towers above you, you can only imagine what’s on all these floors that could help with furthering your talent to be better. That and classrooms are a thing too. You’re more excited about the ‘fun’ stuff andnot the ‘learning’ stuff for right now. You take in a deep breath, then slowly let it out. It’s…time to start your school year!

You take a step into the school, and only have but a second to examine your surroundings before your vision goes hazy and your consciousness slips.

You awaken in an unfamiliar classroom alone and just assume that someone took you here (though you guess that’s a little weird, isn’t there an infirmary here?), but then you noticed the bolted windows. You didn’t recall seeing bolted windows from the outside of the school…You stand up, to investigate when a tone goes off.

“Is everyone awake now?”

A grating voice came through the loudspeakers, why does this person sound like a cartoon character from Doraemon…

“Great! Then get your asses down to the gymnasium so I can greet you all in person!”

That’s…not a way to speak to your students. You however follow their instructions and begin to search for the gym. It takes you a moment to find it but you get there nonetheless. Inside the gym, you find yourself amongst all your other classmates. There are 18 of you in total, all of you are confused. No one seems to know who called you here, or how you got to your respective classrooms.

You hear a voice sound from behind the podium on the stage. It clears its throat.

“Goooooood morning!”

It’s. It’s a toy bear. There is a toy bear talking to you right now.

“Now- you must have lots of questions on where you are- who everyone else is. You know. The whole showdown.”

He points out at you all.

“But I’m going to wait to tell you! For now, all I am leaving you with is some small information that will prove useful.

“In your pockets- or bags or whatever the fuck you all have that carries things, you will find an electronic ID. On these IDs are your school maps, your classmates names and talents, and these act as the keys to your rooms. They are very hard to break, but try not to attempt breaking them. It’s tempting, I know.

“Please! Mingle with your classmates and get to know each other!

“It’s for the best.”

And with that, he cackled and hopped back behind the podium, seemingly disappearing.
